I have been living in Cambridge for over two years, but I have only just found the best cafe with breakfasts and delicious sandwiches (great prices). Very nice and polite ladies served me. I will definitely come there many more times.

Absolutely smashing independent business, great array of hot and cold snacks, sandwiches etc, lovely full English fry up. Brilliant service, spotlessly clean, would highly recommend.

Really good breakfast and full selection of sandwiches. The panini was great. Family run place and owners are great. Great cafe spot for lunch and breakfast if you are in the area!! I want to go back for the baguettes.

Fantastic local, family-run cafe/bakery. It has a great selection of freshly made savoury and sweet foods, at a reasonable price. The staff are lovely. Definitely recommend trying it out for lunch. It’s a real gem.

Great little place to stop by. Lovely happy helpful staff, great selection and all in view, so no nasty surprises. I had a bacon baguette and my stomach is very happy! Sweet atmosphere, and a genuine hard work small business. I'm coming back!
