Fitzbillies is a classic bakery and cafe in Cambridge, known for its traditional pastries and artisan coffee. It's a popular spot for East Anglian fare, offering delicious Chelsea Buns that come highly recommended by locals and even Stephen Fry. The cafe specializes in Traditional Afternoon Tea, making all the bread for finger sandwiches, sultana scones, and mini cakes in their own artisan bakery.
We had the original Chelsea bun, and it met expectations. It was warm, fresh and had lots of small raisins in it. Service was quick, and the lady at the counter was the sweetest. Also not too pricey considering the touristy location, and the cafe’s popularity.
Akhil S — Google review
Nice - pretty typical modern day cafe come cake shop. And while the Chelsea buns may have the same recipe, the way the sugar coating is done nowadays is just not what it was. Fairly average coffee too by modern day standards. Still 4 stars though because I am a picky so and so and you may well find coffee and buns are splendid!
Adam R — Google review
A charming and bustling bakery in Cambridge, best known for its famous Chelsea buns. I ordered a sultana raisin scone served with jam and clotted cream, along with a cup of coffee. The scone was beautifully crisp on the outside, while the cream was rich and indulgent — absolutely delicious. I shared a few Chelsea buns with my friends, and they were every bit as good as their reputation. Although the café was busy, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were served. The lively atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy good conversation over excellent pastries. A must-visit spot when in Cambridge.
Tomoe M — Google review
We visited Fitzbillies on a busy Sunday afternoon — it was packed (as expected!) but we managed to get a table without too much waiting. The ordering system is done through your phone, which was convenient overall, though one of the hot drinks was a bit tricky to find on the menu. Of course, we had to try the famous Chelsea bun, and it didn’t disappoint — beautifully sticky, sweet, and rich. They even provided extra golden syrup to pour on top, which was a nice touch. The cappuccino looked great and was well presented, though it could’ve had a bit more depth of flavour. We also had a savoury snack of whipped feta and chickpeas, this was nice but 4 crackers was not enough. The staff were friendly and attentive, even with how busy it was. Overall, a good experience and definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cambridge — especially for the Chelsea bun!
Alamin A — Google review
The cinnamon bun at Fitzbillies is absolutely divine—soft, rich, and bursting with flavor. The café has a warm, welcoming vibe, and the display of fresh pastries is irresistible. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves classic, indulgent baked goods!
Mohammed A — Google review
Came here to check out the iconic Chelsea buns. They were great and lived up to its expectations. Others may find it too sweet for them, but I think it’s a matter of preference and I can appreciate it! We then saw they did afternoon tea, so we tried it: Sandwiches were poor and lacked flavour. Scones were huge (easy split 1 between the 3 of us), and the jam was great. Red velvet cake was amazing. Others were average. Service was really friendly but completely disorganised. Asked for water but never came (mistakes happen, so it’s ok). But while a male waiter was bringing in loads of fresh cutlery, he kept lobbing it in their containers and was constantly making ridiculous amounts of noise. No music was playing and generally the cafe was extremely noisy, given that it wasn’t very busy. Atmosphere was nonexistent. I recommend purchasing your Chelsea buns (as they are worth it) from the bakery beside to takeaway and avoid the cafe. You are not missing much. Value is also on the high side for the quality.
Jeremy O — Google review
After reading many articles mentioning the Chelsea bun is a must have in Cambridge, I was determined to try it before leaving town. I bought some as take away. When I took a bite into the bun moments later, I was utterly disappointed. It was dry and nothing extraordinary. I am not sure what all the hype is about. It was way below my expectations. Only saving grace was the friendly staff I encountered.
J K — Google review
We honestly do not understand how this chain can be so busy, since their flagship pastry is a bun with disappointing hints of whatever flavour they promise. We would not be trying this again. It might be catering for the English palette. The interior design is as dull as they come. The only positive is the generally friendly staff.

Bakery
Nestled in the heart of the community, Norfolk Street Bakery is a delightful independent bakery that has quickly become a local favorite. With its second branch conveniently located on Station Road, it’s the perfect pit stop for travelers looking to indulge in artisan cakes and freshly brewed coffee before hopping on a train. The bakery exudes a cozy atmosphere, where friendly owners greet you with warmth and passion for their craft. At Norfolk Street Bakery, every bite tells a story of quality ingredients and expert craftsmanship.
Could be my favourite bakery in town. Definitely try the Nata. The savoury bakes are amazing too, especially the beef one. The Portuguese doughnut is excellent as well.
Mehdi — Google review
This small, Portuguese-influenced bakery has some unusual offerings. Liked the coconut macrons, danish pastries, while the fruited bun was slightly too dry. The Portuguese tarts should be interesting. Updated with savoury vegetarian pastries, also good. Prices a slightly lower than most other bakeries, and service is always friendly.

Great little bakery. I bought a superb granary loaf. Was relieved that there was none of the usual sourdough this and sourdough that. Lots of interesting savoury pies. We had a delicious prawn rissole. Coffee was just a tad bitter. Check out the interesting Mill Road cemetery a few houses down the road and to the left.

I’ve been coming here for a while now with my girlfriend and dog and I have been so happy everytime. The bread is wonderful and the sandwich and soup meal deal is fantastic. It’s super close to the house and the people working there are super sweet. I can’t buy baked goods from anywhere else without comparing them to this place. I hope they make more dark chocolate pistachio cake soon!
Rackley W — Google review
The cakes and other baked goods here are the best in Cambridge. Great service too. When I visited they had a small art exhibition there also which was great. There is also a small deli section where you can find some other jams, honey, specialist tinned goods , oils etc to take home. 5/5.

Brunch restaurant
Nestled on Chesterton Road, Stir is a charming neighborhood café that has quickly become a beloved spot for locals in the Chesterton area. With its inviting atmosphere and bright decor, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee or indulge in delicious treats from their adjacent bakery. The menu boasts delightful options like coconut porridge and brioche bostock for breakfast, alongside hearty brunch favorites such as halloumi schrooms and the weekend special stir shakshuka.
Exquisite brunch! A perfect place for brunch with high quality produce and beautifully prepared food. The place is always busy, and I can see why. The 'Big Brunch' was especially great. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the avocado was fresh, halloumi grilled just the right amount, perfectly toasted sourdough, and the additional smoky beans very tasty. The chilli jam was a perfect complement. The warm banana bread was delicious, and the caramelised fresh banana on top was a perfect addition. The flat white was well made. One of the best (if not the best) brunch places in Cambridge! .
Johann G — Google review
Really nice food and the coffee was great. It was very busy so be warned you might have to wait a few for a table but we got a seat at the bar which was perfect! More on the pricey side but worth it as it’s hard to find a good breakfast spot like this!
Suzanne C — Google review
Lovely spot for coffee, brunch, or a sweet treat. Stopped by for brunch with a friend and we tried both the Turkish Eggs and the Vegetarian Focaccia - both hit the spot and were surprisingly filling! There’s also a great selection of bakery items if you’re just after something lighter with your coffee. Service was warm and friendly. Prices are admittedly on the higher side, but seem in line with most other comparable brunch spots in Cambridge. The cosy atmosphere inside and pleasant outdoor seating (weather permitting) also make it well worth a visit!
Firnaaz M — Google review
A bit disappointed that the Winter Hash did not come with salsa verde or crispy kale that the menu suggested. If items were switched out, customers should be informed. It was just a plate of roasted root vegetables with no sauce? I ended up just adding salt and pepper but only ate a few bites and the egg. I also order the Winter Bowl instead of the hash but I think there was a mix up.

What a hidden gem! The coffee was really good for those who are coffee connoisseurs. The pastries was delicious and though I didn't try the food it looked very nice I'm sad I only found here on my last day in Cambridge! It was very busy around brunch time but I guess thats because of how popular it is. The place is professional and has a very nice vibe. Definitely worth going and trying.

I loved this place because of the atmosphere, it was so family-friendly, especially for children, but they changed the waiters and the service became terrible.

Nestled on Hills Road, The Cambridge Oven has been delighting locals since its opening in 2018. Founded by Jolita, a talented baker from Lithuania who honed her skills at The School of Artisan Food, this charming bakery offers a unique twist on traditional baking. With an impressive array of breads and pastries crafted using the finest ingredients and long-fermentation techniques, each creation is not only delicious but also easier to digest.
Oh my my the lemon blueberry cruffin was to die for!! What a gorgeous pastry. I only wish I had gotten a second, hah. It was the perfect size for one (I wouldn’t recommend sharing). The croissant was flaky and crisp and the outside sugar coating was more pleasant than I expected. The lemon curd was perfectly sweet and tart and the bites of blueberry filling inside were just scrumptious. They mentioned they couldn’t warm it but honestly it’s was better as is. 12/10 would get again. The pistachio passion fruit cruffin also sounded good and honestly everything in the shop looked lovely. Can’t wait to be back in Cambridge to try more.

Delicious stuff. Highly highly recommend the caramelised banana Danish. We don't get enough banana based pastries and desserts in the UK and it's a shame. This one is worth trying. Also had the Crumble plum Danish and it was very good. Pastry is perfectly flakey and buttery with a nice crunch.

I have absolutely no complaints about this bakery. The pastries and drinks are lovely, and the owners and baristas are super friendly ☺️.

I have been coming to Cambridge Oven for the last few weeks now and I've always been welcomed with smiling faces.

I recommend this place wholeheartedly.

Ham and Cheese Croissant is the best! Runny cheese filling with a crispy cheese topping. It's the best savoury croissant I have had in Cambridge. Absolutely tasty. Have tried other items in the bakery already, but always come back for this ham and cheese croissant. It's so popular that often sold out very early. Had to get up really early if you want to have one. Hope that Cambridge Oven will produce more of it.

Although there’s no fixed menu, visitors can indulge in an array of delicious options like cheesy toast, garlic bread, croissants, or hearty salads.
Lovely balanced flat white and how can I resist a toastie in this wet morning? The ‘Nduja bean one is a delightful reinterpretation of beans on toast. Crunchy but not greasy. Very cheesy. Very satisfying. Very flavorful with the extra kick of the spreadable sausage (not visible but probably blended in). The place is quite far from me, but I’m definitely going to try the blue cheese next time ^^ (the half toastie comes in a smaller bread that makes it look like a full one. No more cauliflower cheese for the vegan option.) The cozy cafe is actually not crowded as I had expected. The staff are very friendly.

The Bombay and the surfin toasties were both unique and delicious. Friendly service. Cup of long black wasn’t to my taste but that’s only because I prefer darker roasts over fruity.

Small place, no room for the buggy so I had to sit outside which was still tight with the buggy blocking the door. Barista barely looked at me and I felt like I was in her way. Coffee flavour was nice but the latte I ordered came in a very small cup (maybe 4 oz?) which felt like a rip off given it was full priced. Almond croissant was okay.

Urban Larder in Cambridge is easily one of my preferred cafes. Their coffee is absolutely delightful, and I'm a fan of their delectable homemade bakery and pastries. The service here is exceptional, which is why I'm a repeat visitor. Plus, they have some eco-friendly perks: if you bring your own coffee mug, not only do you help reduce disposable cups, but you also receive a discount. Additionally, don't forget to take advantage of their Friday morning special – order takeout coffee before 11 am and enjoy a discount!

What an absolute surprise to go here today and discover the pop up of @thewildhaggis a new initiative of a traditional Scottish breakfast, gone was the idea of delicious pastries but instead we went for the half, full breakfast (normally wouldn’t dream of having haggis and black pudding) but what can I say, utterly delicious, flavoursome, filling and a change from an English breakfast. I would highly recommend making your way to Eddington to enjoy this plate of goodness. They do all sorts of Scottish buns and pies but this breakfast was incredible. A definite add to a great eatery in Cambridge. Totally recommended. 💛

Definitely recommend! I wish we could eat breakfast here every day. All the pastries are wonderful both savoury and sweet! The orange and almond cookie was also wonderful. What a treat the square sausage bap is! Prices on the higher side but that’s life now and I guess the challenge is not to be tempted by everything on show. Good coffee! Clean facilities. Appeared to get very busy.

We stopped in here to get some cinnamon buns for breakfast. We told the waitress that we had a daughter with a nut allergy and asked if the food was suitable. She said yes. No worries. My daughter had an allergic reaction to the bun immediately upon eating a bite. When we went back to tell the waitress she said 'oh, I thought you were telling me that you didn't have an allergy ' As if anyone would say that!! The staff need better training. Thankfully this reaction was not life threatening, but they need to take this seriously. All staff should be trained properly.

We absolutely love this bakery, it’s the best in Cambridge, it’s a little further outside of the centre, but it’s well worth the visit. The selection of pastries changes daily, the breads are so fluffy and flavoursome, well made coffee, three types of hot chocolate -all made with REAL chocolate!! What more could you ask for? This place is a hidden gem, make sure you go early as things sell out fast! We love how you can get a regular great pastry like a croissant but then you can also get something you’ve never tried before, they do little fancy desserts, home made chocolates and the best macaroons outside of France ! Staff are friendly and everything is reasonably price! Only wish they would extend into one of the other surrounding units and do all day food, I know that would be just as good! Currently only outside seating available. My photos are from the past few months and recent weekends

Really nice pastry. Ordered the fruit and frangipane and the custard and fruit. Very nice and crispy and fresh. Had to get a mint and chocolate macaroon too. It was tasty. Most of the pastries were gone by 3pm, so not much choice left. I went earlier and they were busy in the morning. Ordered the cinnamon bun which was a bit dense and a white hot chocolate - it was too sweet. The Hokkaido milk bread was soft but it was for western palette rather than authentic Japanese milk bread.

Dulcedo is a great patisserie! They have all sorts of products; from different types of amazing bread to delicious pastries and sandwiches made with loads of care. I don't drink coffee, so I always have a matcha latte that is delicious! Lately they have started making their own chocolates and chocolate bars, that look very nice!! (See photos attached)

Very nice patisseries and viennoiseries (and I'm French, so high standards haha)! Everything is super tasty! Hot drinks are only okay though... (matcha tastes very diluted, coffee is very meh so maybe not pure arabica and also maybe too roasted and not the best quality of milk 😕) Which is a shame because there is a very big chance you will get one with the kind of food sold there... It is often very busy so be prepared to queue. Staff is friendly!

Five stars: Tasty, fresh and authentic French pastries. Convenient racks for locking bikes and friendly staff. I've been coming back here for years now, couldn't recommend them more. They start early, so you can pop in for a bite and then ride/walk home or work. Their breads are also among the best in Cambridge

Some kind of hairs on the bottom of the tart, not cooled sugar shards but some kind of fibrous hair, when you pull it you can tell easily. Also some kind of green perhaps mould or cross contamination, not sure. Very disappointed, in fact, disgusted. Service is hit and miss, but atmosphere is generally fine.

Regular customer for hearty bread and early morning breakfasts~ The almond croissant is layered with buttery crust on top and has the largest amount of tasty stuffing in all the croissants I had :) Even though the pastry has got quite cold in the early winter morning, it is still irresistible. (I’ll surely get fat if I come too often.) The pain au chocolat and pear tart are also good, and of course you can trust their bread. The flat white yesterday, however, was too bitter… (The beans might be on the very deeply roasted side, and over extraction perhaps?) Today’s Latte is alright. (Originally recommended by my high school roommate’s friend in Cambridge.)

Just like being in Paris, only in Cambridgeshire. ALWAYS good, with a side of attitude....and you'll meet folks and chat in the queue. Oh....dogs aren't allowed inside, so there are hooks at the front window (so not quite Paris, alas) Make sure to ask them to only put a few items in each paper bag. Bought 10 croissants yesterday, and I didn't notice that 8 had gone into one paper bag. Not good enough. They came out of the bag as PRESSED croissants. Lovely if you were looking for an abstract shape, but really I just wanted the standard light and fluffy type rather than the road kill look.

My first visit and although the French pastry was very nice it will be my last visit too. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Staff member who served me was at best unhelpful at worst rude.

Not a particularly welcoming place, pain au chocolat with barely any chocolate (although the pastry was good) and the pain au raisin was rather better. Not a relaxing place to sit and I’m not a fan of someone sweeping the floor right next to me. All in all a bit disappointing.

Visit with family for afternoon tea. It wasn't very busy so we were seated and served very quickly. Sandwiches were good, scones good but by the time the cakes were up, I was pretty full. Service was excellent and attentive and they had no issues providing me with alternative drink.

We spent £40 on an afternoon tea for two and had to wait an hour until it arrived as they were understaffed. The portion sizes were very small, and the cakes looked unappetising and tasted equally bad. In general I’m someone who is easy to please and I don’t like complain, but after having spent £40 on this I feel obliged to warn others not to make the same mistake I did. The staff were very nice, but the food just was not good, took a very long time to arrive and the place itself felt grubby.

Ordered a themed cake from the website for delivery, unfortunately the cake arrived with every single “decoration” entirely broken - however the remains not in the box, meaning they were put on to the cake and sent out like that with no quality control. The reason for the order entirely being the decoration for a themed party I politely requested a refund and offered to send the cake back as it would not be used and I had to quickly source an alternative, This was ignored by the customer service team and I was instead issued a £10 voucher, which won’t be used as I won’t be ordering from them again.

Took my partner here for afternoon tea for her birthday. It was not too bad. Nothing that special really. Food was not too bad. Only liked 1 out of the 3 sandwiches. Still have no idea what was in 1. Could definitely do a better range. Scones was the best part. Overall it was good. Abit pricey for what you get really.

I cannot rate the service, I ordered a cake for delivery for my husband's birthday. The black forest gateau was absolutely divine. It was delivered In dry ice and well packed with no issues. The only major issue is that at the till online, I saw balloons (it was a very last minute impulse click to add them to the basket) and out of a box of 5 balloons, we managed to inflate 2, the other 3 just broke apart in our hands. They are clearly either very old or not stored properly. We didn't even bother opening the other boxes (we bought 3 boxes of5 ). I learned my lesson to only stick to cakes from this place

Wonderful experience: Got taken here as a birthday surprise by my friends. To my delight the staff were aware it was my birthday, and greeted me with a birthday song and a plate full of goodies. There was a good variety of everything from sandwiches to cakes. Tea, coffee or soft drinks are available in a good variety. There was nothing that was too much trouble for the staff. Would recommend this place to anyone who would love a difference in a treat. Thank you all lovely staff - and of course my two lovely friends!

Hot Numbers Coffee - Gwydir St (Dale's Brewery) is an independent coffee bar and micro-roastery located in a former Victorian brewery. It offers delicious coffee, tasty brunch options, and a vibrant artsy atmosphere with communal tables where students and tourists share stories to the beat of live jazz music. This spot is perfect for spending an afternoon working or reading while enjoying great coffee.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable brunch or breakfast experience, this place is a must-visit. The brunch here is phenomenal—every dish is thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. I had an iced latte with honey that was just perfect, smooth, subtly sweet, and incredibly comforting. One standout was the chicken shawarma. The bread was unbelievably fresh, and the chicken was marinated to perfection. The pomegranate added a beautiful acidity that balanced out the savory spices in a way that felt almost gourmet. The atmosphere is super cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy your meal. On top of that, the prices are very fair considering the high quality of food and service. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves a good brunch done right.

This is the best place in Cambridge for coffee and brunch. It’s absolutely knockout in terms of quality and choices. Thoroughly enjoyed the granola and Turkish eggs. The coffees are exceptional and retail bags well-priced. Great atmosphere and slick service. When it’s busy it can be noisy, but I only notice that because I’m usually solo.

The barista was very helpful in explaining what was and wasn’t vegan. Just wish there were some vegan pastries but generally catered very well with many veggie options on the menu. I had the cold brew with it milk and the vegan bacon sandwich which was good if a little stingy on the bacon.

Moved into the area a few days ago. I’m not sure if it was my accent, but I was overcharged, and sausage was completely forgotten on a take away order. Pancakes were subpar, and everything was underwhelming. That’s a 4 minute walk from takeaway to kitchen table. That 6 oz listed on their menu is at 3.70, I was charged 4.70 for an oat milk latte at 6oz. The sausages, I am now re-cooking as they hastily just charred the sides but the middle was cold. Adding an extra sausage is a nice “sorry”, but having to go home and re-heat via toaster oven, speaks for itself. Not much attention to detail when taking my order, overcharging negligently or on purpose, not cooking things adequately. Maybe dining in would be different, but don’t get take away from here.

5 for music at night 4.5 as a daytime cafe It is indeed more crowded than the one near Judge Business School. A little too loud and cramped. Coffee tastes better this time than the other store on average. Nutty, balanced latte.

This used to be my go-to spot — great vibe, respectful crowd, and I always made sure to leave before the morning rush. But it’s taken a real turn. The new laptop policy is enforced rigidly even when the place is nearly empty, and the staff — especially senior ones — now feel more like gatekeepers than hosts. The atmosphere has lost its warmth, the coffee isn’t what it used to be, and prices have gone up without the quality to justify it. What makes it harder is that this place once meant a lot — it was a welcoming space where I felt at ease, and even made some lasting connections. It’s disheartening to see it lose that soul, seemingly in pursuit of a few more sales.

Nice, friendly cafe with a nice menu and great coffee. The service is nice and friendly here, table service, even outside, which seemed a bit odd but I guess the way they do it. Things are a bit on the expensive side but good quality. Coffee was fine, not amazing but pretty good. Great for larger groups due to the seating outside. Excellent for summer too.

Friendly service, nice space design, music and overall aesthetic experience and early opening hours give this place its 3 stars. The food itself was rather disappointing. At 10GBP for two slices of bread with a very thin film of avocado spread I d expect my poached eggs to be poached and not hardboiled. Come one guys! You can do better than that!!!

Spacious cafe with breakfast served until noon. Very busy with waiting queue on a Sunday morning. Espresso Library is a modern cafe, serving coffee and food. Popular with young people catching up with their fellows. With floor-to-ceiling windows and white walls, it is well lit and bright, giving a modern and clean vibe. At least 20 indoors tables available. Outdoor seating available. Coffee quality may be variable. Last time I visited it was top-notch, this time it was quite burnt and bitter. Food was average.

Modern / hipster vibe with welcoming staffs. I really wanted to like this place but It’s shame that I just didn’t like the pancake - it’s not usual pancakes made from flour and not sweet at all - would have been nice if this was described on the menu (the menu is rather simple so would recommend to ask the staff for the details). Coffee was too sour for my taste.

Accepts credit/debit card payments: Amex, Mastercard and Visa. Parking may be an issue, it is situated on a street with many other shops and restaurants, we had to find a side street. The cafe is also quite small - it was quite busy so we were lucky to get the last table.

recently tried the Baklava Cheesecake at Blue Sage Cafe, and it was absolutely divine! The cheesecake was rich and creamy, perfectly balanced by the crunchy, honey-drenched layers of baklava on top. Every bite had the perfect mix of textures and flavors — sweet, nutty, and just the right hint of spice. It’s a brilliant twist on a classic dessert and truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves to something special!”

🌸✨ What an absolute find! ✨🌸 The food was incredible, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The baked eggs with chorizo were rich and comforting, with the perfectly runny yolk and just the right amount of spice. The bread was golden, crunchy, and honestly the best for dipping into all that goodness. The hummus on the side was smooth, nutty, and packed with flavour which was such a thoughtful addition that tied everything together. The atmosphere made it even better: rustic wooden boards, colourful fresh flowers on the table, and a cosy but lively vibe that made the whole experience feel special.

Great pizza spot in Cambridge — can’t wait to try brunch! Scott’s All Day is a fun and relaxed spot in Cambridge serving both brunch and pizzas, including Detroit-style and Neapolitan-style. We started with the cheesy garlic bread, which was exactly what you'd want — super cheesy, full of flavour, and the bread itself was amazing. It was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza, so we went for the honey and chorizo crumble. The pizza was rich, perfectly salty, and had a great crust. I wasn’t totally sold on the honey combination, but that’s more personal taste — the overall flavour was still solid. Good value for the quality, and the pizza really hits the spot.

A rather overrated spot. I recently visited this place after hearing much hype, but unfortunately found it quite overrated. While the taste and quality of the food and drinks are decent, they certainly don't justify the pricing — especially considering the nearly double cost difference between eat-in and takeaway options, which feels excessive. Queues were long and disorganised, adding to the underwhelming experience. One major issue was the takeaway cups: they offer very poor insulation and become far too hot to hold comfortably. It’s a small detail, but it genuinely affects the overall experience. All in all, not terrible, but far from living up to the buzz.

What an incredible find, all by chance ! Who would expect to find Portuguese snacks from a bakery called Norfolk Bakery in Cambridge ? It had famous Portuguese snacks, such as pasteis de nata and pasteis the bacalhau and a few rissois, all tasted authentic and at very reasonable prices. Even the charming serving young lady was from Oporto. There was a small area with tables at the back of the shop, but we took our snacks to have them in the adjacent Botanic Garden.

Best pastel de nata in town :D Creamy and generously sized. Apple tart and beef mushroom roll also tastes fabulous. One day I’ll try all the lovely baked goods. Flat white was alright, but it would be strange to eat pastries without sipping coffee. —- Stopped by for a nata to-go to ease the stress from the chaotic train disruptions. Perhaps there will be less trikes if everyone gets a nata from work…

I passed yesterday on the way to a meeting promising myself to pop in on the way back but knowing choice would be limited. Firstly it would help if the chap behind the counter wasn’t in such a rush but listened. I had to repeat my order three times as he was transfixed by two Japanese lads who were obviously unsure of what was on offer. I finally paid then walked to get my train only to find on sitting down that I did not have what I asked for. With no time to return I tucked into what I think I saw as Lamb Harissa, completely tasteless and devoid of flavour. Then a very dry fruit tart. Being in such a good position near the station I expect most of their trade is made up of passing trade.

The restaurant is beautiful inside But the stand out was the service to us. The lady serving us who worked on Sunday 5th October (we arrived around 3.30pm). She is incredible and deserves a raise.

Excellent quality of food and service, a really unique place. Several different vegan (and non-veg) tasting menus for 2 people (starter, main, dessert), as well as a la carte menu. Also a great selection of drinks, including teas and rose coffee. Honestly so many options for vegans I could come back here again and again and not tire of the food (which the owner said they also switch up every now and again to keep it fresh and new!)

Amazing selection of dumplings! Our toddler had a feast when choosing from all these options on a table! Highly recommend! *Cucumber salad is also the best!

We had a wonderful lunch for five people at Liutaio - it was an absolute feast with a particularly varied range of vegetarian and vegan options. The staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful, from dish recommendations/guidance to regular water and tea refills. We could hardly walk afterwards we were so full, we definitely got our money's worth and we'll be back again soon. Very highly recommended.

Great food in a unique atmosphere. The restaurant is like no other. Inside are lots of different instruments and the decor is very unique and vintage. Gives an inviting feeling. The service is great, attentive and fast. Food is very good. Dishes were pretty good - pork and coriander dumplings were amazing. Would highly recommend those.

I've visited Modigliani many times and consistently enjoyed their food and coffee. Their Italian pastries and patisserie are exceptional, making it one of my go-to cafes on Mill Road. The customer service is always top-notch. I love their Pistachio Tiramisu, Italian Donuts, Pistachio Cakes, Coffee Beans etc. My only advice is to visit early in the morning, as their pastries tend to sell out quickly. 😅

This artisan boulangerie takes pride in crafting their delectable offerings daily, ensuring that each item is made with passion and care.

This place is consistently delicious! It takes a lot of will power for me not to take one of each pastry, patisserie and bread item when I go in!

These desserts are ideal for those who enjoy refreshing, less-sweet treats that don’t compromise on flavor or quality. Their visual appeal is matched only by their taste, making them perfect for special occasions or a luxurious everyday indulgence.

Lovely bakery, but there are now so many in the area. The addition of sandwiches was a good move, but they had run out of several of them when I arrived. The service was ok, nothing spectacular but then you probably don't want that when you are just grabbing a sandwich. As it's a small cafe there isn't much atmosphere.

The twisted one is saltier and awesome too. 202405 update: My friends in London adore these cookies too! Not too sweet. Crumbly but not too flaky or greasy. The sesame savory ones are the stars!

Popped in to buy baklava - £28 per kg, came home, weighed in at 190g, charged £9 instead of £5.30. Not impressed. Owners' response - 6 pieces are below 8 pieces threshold for charging by the kg, and each piece is charged at a flat rate of £1.50. This means that 6 cost £9, but 8 would have cost £7. However, this flexible pricing was not displayed anywhere near the baklavas, nor indicated as a better option during service...

Stir Bakery, a charming establishment that has been operating for just one year, has become an integral part of the Chesterton community. They have already established partnerships with local businesses like Stem + Glory, Hot Numbers, and Novi. The bakery is adjoined to a café and offers customers a wide array of breads, cakes, and pastries. It's important to note that they occasionally close early when all their products are sold out, so it's advisable to arrive on time.
I decided to leave a review here, considering there is many people these days leaving bomb reviews. I have been coming to this bakery for the last few months and the bread is great, tasty, well made light but consistent. Also to mention a small thing that made it stand to me, for some reason my card wasn't working, so instead of having to leave without bread, staff (Desi I believe) allowed me to come back later to pay, so I could take my bread. A small gesture that speak load about the community centred approach of the business. She is super nice and thus small gesture meant a lot as a costumer!
Isaac M — Google review
Starting with the bakery, the bread is overpriced and, unfortunately, doesn't taste good. It is very rubbery and stale, even of you buy it fresh. Difficult to chew or cut, especially after toasting it. And on top of that, if you cut the pice fir a toast most likely half of the toast will be missing. There is a massive air hole in the bread, so the bread is uneven. If you want one toasties in the morning you will have to use two pieces of bread. Honestly, the £1 bread from tesco in a plastic bag taste so much better without massive air holes in it. Don't recommend the stir Cafe as well. Food, frankly, doesn't worth the money you are spending on it. Why would you serve eggs benedict and avocado toast in a bowl? How am I supposed to cut it? With a spoon? The presentation looks like someone has given up on life and cooking a long time ago, just throw a raw spinach from a height into a ball and call it art. Better to eat at home or go somewhere else for a better food quality.

Incredibly inefficient service. On my first visit, they took over an hour to provide food. I came back a few months later and thought I would give them another chance, it took nearly 50 minutes before they served us. The food is okay, but definitely not worth the wait or cost.

We used to come here all the time for their seeded bread. Recently however the bread we brought home was completely burnt on the bottom. Returning to the bakery two more times since then and all the seeded loaves were clearly burnt even on top. When I brought it up with the person working she looked annoyed with me and just shrugged her shoulders. We also used to get a banana loaf and bring it home. It’s expensive but it was delicious. The last several times we have picked up the banana loaf it was completely stale when we opened it at home. So we had to toast it to even make it edible - not what you expect after paying £16 for a loaf! The croissants are not real croissants (no flakiness!) and the scones are incredibly dry. All in all, a so-so bakery that used to do bread really well, and now it doesn’t 😢

Brown Bread Bakery is a family-owned business that has been operating since 2007, specializing in traditional bread making techniques. They have a stall at the Cambridge Market, except on Tuesdays and Thursdays, where they sell their freshly baked bread. For those looking to avoid the wasps that are also attracted to their products, online orders are available.
Underestimated Quality I guess people tend to overlook this bakery because of the price. The pain au chocolat is even cheaper than the M&S fresh baked one! Bought a pain au chocolat here after shopping at Fitzbillies. Brown Bread Bakery is £2.50. While Fitzbillies is £3.40 for take away. It's slightly darker(so there's no confusion after unwrapping!)and heavier than Fitzbillies. It's 90 g. It is more flakey and buttery than Fitzbillies ones too. Has more chocolate fillings than Fitzbillies while less chocolate fillings than Stir Bakery. What a surprise. People tend to think that expensive stuff will have better performance then the cheap ones. But it's not the case for Brown Bread Bakery!

Outstanding breads and pastries and a very friendly owner that's always up for brief chat. I have tried the chicken tikka samosa, sugar buns, rosemary and sea salt bread, olive bread ( beware the puns.. when I brought the olive bread he asked me if I would be having 'all-of' it). Everything so far has unbelievably been really tasty and I'm still eating my way through the selection. The almond croissants and brownies are outstanding for me, they just to be put in the over for a bit and they are fantastic. Just remember to bring cash!

I stumbled across Earth's crust by chance, as I was originally on the lookout for a Greek Gyros food stall. There was an enticing selection of rustic looking bread on display as well as pastries and samosas at the front. Out of spontaneity, I bought a Chicken tika Samosa for £2, which I really enjoyed. It was one of the best samosas I've ever had, the pastry and fillings were tasty and fresh, it was fairly big samosa so really filling and good value for money. The guy running the stall was really friendly too so makes it worth a visit

It is a very busy gallery and cafe. Be prepared to queue for a few minutes. The food was of very good standard. We had the Spinach and feta pastry and some falafels.

As the parent of an autistic child it can be an uncomfortable feeling going to a cafe or public space, not knowing how your child’s behaviour will be received. My worst fears were realised at Kettles yards after the humiliating treatment I received as a member of staff berated me for my “unruly” child. I chose to sit outside in a completely empty area away from all other customers so as not to inconvenience anyone. The only people who passed us outside were two members of staff and yet this woman still chose to let fly at me just because by child looked through the glass door into the area where she was working. She also accused him of playing too near her “expensive parasol “ I don’t see how a three year old could possible damage an 8ft tall metal pole on a solid metal stand even if he had touched it. I immediately apologised for his looking at her and coming up to the door, I thought my apology would’ve been enough considering he actually hadn’t done anything wrong but she wouldn’t let it drop or let me walk away with a shred of dignity. I hope the management train their staff to treat neurodiverse children and their carers with more compassion than I received but clearly this woman missed the memo.

Aromi Caffe and Pizzeria is a popular cafe with multiple locations in the city, offering classic Sicilian fare such as pizza slices, focaccia, arancini, and cannoli.

Customers can enjoy gluten-free options as well.
No reservation, no problem. Got seated pretty quickly. Tight space, a bit loud, but the vibe was relaxed and easygoing. Pizza was rectangular (yes, really), but the taste delivered: fresh toppings, good balance, and crunchy, airy crust. A solid spot for a casual pizza night 🍕

The food tastes great, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Authentic Sicilian cuisine. The interior design is cozy and visually appealing. The restaurant has washrooms in the basement, though they can be quite dirty at times. Customer service is hit or miss، some of the older staff aren’t very pleasant, and when I asked a younger staff member for water, he simply pointed to the bottles while standing right next to them instead of bringing one. Despite that, I still recommend the place for the food and ambiance.

It’s a pizza place near King’s College, Cambridge! You order first and then find a seat (basically self-service). 🍕 Pancetta Pizza ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (P1) A hot and fluffy thick-crust pizza topped with tomato sauce, sweet peppers, and cheese — tangy, sweet, and wonderfully fragrant. 🍕 Piccante Pizza ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (P2) Similar texture as above, but with spicy sausage 🌶️ on top — full of flavor! 🧁☕️ Tiramisu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (P3) Absolutely delicious! The coffee-soaked soft ladyfingers with rich, slightly rum-flavored cream are perfectly balanced and not heavy at all. Honestly, each person should order one!

I passed by this restaurant around noon to early afternoon and saw a long queue it was quite busy. However, when I returned in the early evening, around 6 PM on a Sunday, there was no line at all and the atmosphere was very relaxed. If you’d prefer to avoid waiting, I recommend coming during this time. Dine-in orders are freshly heated, which is a nice touch. I also tried the tiramisu, which was enjoyable. I had high expectations for the pizza, but personally didn’t enjoy the pizza sauce it was quite tangy, more sour than I’m used to. While it might suit some palates, it wasn’t quite to my taste.

I got the Zucchini Pizza, and it tasted good. The bread was crunchy and the Zucchini was soft. Also tried my friends’ Pistachio brownie and canoli which were very good. My friend also ordered the Pistachio latte and she loved it so much that she bought it twice in a day. The place was really crowded, especially during the lunch hour. The place has plenty of spaces and it was still hard to get a table for four. The queue to order was very long.

The worst service I have come across. Was served a burnt pizza and when I asked the staff about it I got a blank stare as if it was my mistake. Extremely rude staff, not one iota of concern for what is being served. The staff took away the pizza without a word and we were waiting for 10 minutes and sitting there wondering if a fresh one is being served or whether we should leave. Approached the counter and met with the same attitude by another staff. No apology, no smile and extremely rude. I would not be visiting again and recommend staying away from this place until the staff are trained.

The focaccias in Aromi are absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend trying the one with aubergine and tomato sauce (I think it was called Parmigiano Focaccia). The sauce was so rich in flavour and it complimented the cheese and the veggies so well. The only downside of the place was the chaos that was there. Even though the food was already ready, it took the staff quite some time to heat up the focaccias. I know that many people were waiting, but still, the logistics of the customer service could be improved. Also, when we finally sat at the table, it wasn't cleaned after the previous customers. Still, the food itself won us over.

Despite the good reviews, my experience at this café was awful. I ordered an iced brewed coffee, but the staff seemed unsure whether they even had it. One of them finally said yes, so I placed my order along with a pastry. What I received, however, was simply hot coffee poured over ice and, as shown in my photo, the cup was not even full!! This felt both disrespectful and dishonest. It would have been fine to simply say they do not serve cold brew, rather than serve a poor substitute in an incomplete cup. With so many better options in Cambrige offering warmer service and more honesty, I do not recommend this place at all!

In addition to being a cafe, it also functions as a bakery, wine shop, and delicatessen all in one place.
WOW. Signorelli's serves up far and away the most flavorful, most consistently excellent Italian dishes in Cambridge. Somehow, all of their foods -- savoury, sweet, breakfast, lunch, anything -- always manage to knock it out of the park. The bready bases (focaccia, pizza, and all else) are perfectly crisp and chewy. Their pizza toppings are ultra flavorful and only of the highest quality. My personal favorite is the salame with taleggio, which is ultra creamy, crunchy, and spiced. For breakfast, the spinach torta salata is always so satisfiyingly chewy and rich. And I love their focaccia with absolutely any topping. Special shout-out for their desserts, though. Far and away the best tiramisu in the area -- ultra creamy and decadent, with generous serving sizes. I love their small cakes, too: you have to try the chocolate and ricotta bites, which are beyond fantastic both in terms of flavor and texture. You can tell that all products are made fresh in-house, with only the greatest love and care! Note that they're also the BEST around when it comes to catering and events. I was fortunate enough to work with them for a recent 2000-person event, and let me tell you: they left our guests absolutely astounded by their diversity, quality, consistency. Their savory bites -- from fresh deli meats to warm pizzas -- were the star of the show. And let me tell you that they executed this with truly stellar logistics, nonstop quality, and such brimming human warmth. You can tell that they are true catering experts! Beyond that, Signorelli's staff (and especially the owner, Alex) are absolutely a delight to work with. They have such a passion for food. And you can tell that they want to make sure every meal with them is special!

We stopped here for a quick pizza break. The pizza was very good but the knives were very blunt and could not cut the pizza! Also the individual tray is was served could not keep the crumps from scattering around and the parchment paper meant the pizza was slipping away! The waitress could not tell which pizza was each piece, but at least she was friendly. If you believe this review has been helpful for you, please don’t forget to press the 👍 button. Thank you.

I love this place, it is generally always busy and the atmosphere is not that great because it looks like a canteen. However the food is so good! You can also buy different Italian products like wine, cheese, olive oil etc.... To bring at.home. The staff is always friendly 👌

Mini Italy@Cambridge Interesting and creative menu. Always has new stuff that encourage you to come back. Full of surprises. As a result, often have difficulties in making decisions. Friendly staff. Genuine business. Love the Italian music and Italian radio broadcast too. Makes you feel as if you are in Italy.

The wine tasting events are great value for money, but if you expect a proper tasting is not the place for you. Is more the kind of event where you go with friends and enjoy a night out.Plenty food : italian cheese and meat (the prosciutto is amazing, not the cheap one from the market) and various wines accompanied by the host description.If you are a wine lover you just found your place!

I visited this place for having some drinks with my friend and I absolutely loved it. The food was amazing, as well as the drink. (take care with the negroni🍹 is super strong). They also have nice and flavored icecream 🍨 . Something that I don't like about this place (and the main reason for 3*) is that they use plastic glasses so they finish their day with a huge quantity of used plastic... Sorry for taking out 2* for this,but this has a huge impact on us in future and I can't pass it.

I am absolutely in love with this place, so sad that we aren't local. It is perfect for a lunch- budget friendly, served quickly and tasted just amazing. The best part is that there is even something exciting for kids - hot dogs 🌭 but must admit they enjoyed our food even more 😁 Outdoors tables could be a bit bigger to match the size of the dishes and knives definitely need to be changed to something more sharper. Communication between staff was a bit complicated because none knew where and for who to serve dishes - we kindly didn't accept extra food we were given and sent it back.

All the desserts look amazing so I've expected more quality for them but I've got disappointed. The cakes have too much sugar, it is all sugar. Also, you can feel too much salt 🧂 on them. They are also dry, I finished my coffee and coke trying to eat the cake... If we will repeat someday will be to have a good coffee ( it's really good) and because of how the personal treat us, but not for the cafe.

A lovely Croque Monsieur and a slice of Strawberry Gateau washed down with a cup of Earl Grey Tea 🤩 My husband had a B.L.T and all was delicious. Definitely worth visiting for a quick pre-shop brunch! Staff were friendly, but the cafe itself is looking tired and could do with a freshen up.

The staff were polite and efficient but didn't talk much. We enjoyed the halloumi salad and the tuna melt but the cakes weren't that great, they seem very appetising to the eye but once on your plate, the taste is bland and not worth it. We tried the frangipane tart and the pecan and walnut tart. Maybe the other cakes are better. I don't think we will go back.

Tasty hot chocolate, nice a smooth and topped off with cream as an extra. Custard slice very tasty, we also had the baked cheese cake which is maybe more cheesey and sour than we are used to. Nice little restaurant with the option of scan to order and pay.

Nestled just off Bridge Street in the heart of Cambridge's City Centre, Le Patissier is a charming daytime cafe known for its cozy atmosphere and delectable offerings. This hidden gem is a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a delightful selection of English breakfast, homemade cakes, and baguettes. The cafe's convenient location makes it an ideal choice for those exploring the city, as it is within walking distance of the main shopping center, river, and colleges.
Good food good vibes and good prices. The coffee was good. I had the vegetarian breakfast. The vegetarian breakfast was quite good I do wish there was another vegetarian sausage. The service was quick and seating was nice. My dad had the full English which he said was very good

Le Patissier, Cambridge serves English Tea with Scones and Baguettes. We relished their English Breakfast Tea with Scones, Butter and Jam. The Scones were freshly baked and delicious. The Tea had fine aroma and when we enquired about the source of the Tea; the owner was very gracious and presented us a packet of Tea Bags. It was truly generous of him and we are thankful. The place is cozy and the staff are friendly, helpful and great. A memorable experience.

We first visited on spec because it looked clean on the outside and calm on the inside. A board outside with food and hot drinks info helped to make our decision. A happy relaxed greeting, prime seats in the window and we were cheerfully looked after. Coffees and ham with cheese paninis. Plenty of filling and you can have an included side salad the size of a bowl in the price, or exclude as we did. Other customers enjoyed huge scones and tea. A happy young team of keen, kind, funny cafe running participants. We returned today and had a BLT and Breakfast Baguette. Well made and large portions!! Fully recommended and with views of St John’s College grand entrance. Call in and enjoy.

From the perspective of a student trying to get work done, this place blows. There are no outlets or WiFi, and the coffee doesn’t make it worth it when there are better places in town such as Savino’s. If you are a tourist or just looking to get an average cup of coffee to go it isn’t so bad.

Nice and comfortable Pret in the middle of the city. Staff is generally friendly but changes a lot time by time, however, the regular and permanent staff is friendly despite the challenging nature of their job. The place usually kept clean and tidy. It's located on ground floor but there are extra seats available upstairs. Ground floor is accessible and spacious though. Drinks not the best but the food is tasty and not overpriced. I can recommend it.

Waitrose & Partners is a supermarket chain known for offering fresh British produce, groceries, and baked goods, including their own store-brand items. Customers have praised the helpfulness of the staff in resolving issues with orders and providing thoughtful gestures like sending flowers. While some mention that the layout of food items can be a bit random, others appreciate the good variety and quality of products available. The supermarket is also noted for its tasty sushi and lovely salmon steaks.
A good-sized branch of Waitrose on the southern outskirts of Cambridge. It has a decent selection of products, including homeware, plus a cafe and also two hot drinks machines near the front of the shop, offering free drinks to customers who have signed up to Waitrose's loyalty card/app. There are customer toilets, which are usually clean and well-maintained. The car park is big enough, so I've always managed to get a space, even during busy periods. However, there are quite a few potholes in the car park, which need to be addressed. There are plenty of staffed tills and self-service tills, so queues are never too long. In my experience, most of the staff who work in the shop are friendly and helpful. The shop is clean, tidy and well-looked after, so all in all, it's a really pleasant place to shop.

Quite user-friendly car park which is not depressing. A fairly large store. Good selection of teas and breads. Many more good points but terribly busy at popular times.

Ideal for premium grocery shopping and special occasions, but consider avoiding the cafe for quick meals or visiting during off-peak hours as you’ll have to manage crowds and parking. Overall enjoyable regular visits for weekly shopping.

Good store, car parking is a bit of a pain as it fills up quickly and remains that way most of the time - similar story with bicycle parking, although there is an adequate amount of that. The car park now has several electric vehicle charging points as well. There's also a postbox by the bicycle parking should you need to post anything - handy for Christmas cards! The store itself is clean and staff are always very friendly. The store does get extremely busy, especially around lunch hour, evening rush hour & at weekends and during holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter, bank holidays). The store is well laid out and there's plenty of room to move even when it is busy. There is a fish counter, a meat counter, a deli and cheese counter, a sushi bar, a bakery (with a Gail's bakery stand), a sweet treats/pastries section, and freshly made bread. There is a cafe (which again can get quite busy) at the end of the store. The toilets are at the front of the store, right at the end near the cafe. The cafe now has self service kiosks so you can order your food, get a table number, then go and sit down and wait - no more long queues! The welcome desk is just as you enter the store and it's always staffed by lovely people should you need assistance - this is also where the free coffee/tea machines are, however do note that you now require a Waitrose card to scan at the coffee machine for your drink. In the foyer bit there are always plenty of lovely flowers and plants - the plant display often extends to outside during the summer months. The foyer is also where poppy sellers and such are stationed during collection periods. There's also usually a seasonal aisle in the middle of the store where Christmas, Halloween, and Easter etc items are stocked. All in all when it's not too busy the store is a pleasant experience and the cafe is a nice place to sit and take a breather even if you're not shopping there - but it's quite pricey in store these days, and the offers really aren't that great, however the Waitrose vouchers on your MyWaitrose card can be quite good. I'd still recommend it though, just wouldn't be doing a full shop in there! Fine for getting a few bits.

Waitrose got its own... charm, however it isn't in my top list for a weekly shopping, even though that's closest supermarket in Trumpington . The well known reason for its price range which is fully understandable - the quality. One more thing is the choice...yes of the food brands, the main thing that's bring me to the area is InPost lockers, which is the only in Trumpington.

Top Gail’s quality, I always loved their breads. I pop in during the weekends. A little bit expensive but worth spending your money. Good vegan/vegetarian options and clean food. This particular shop is quite small but has a friendly atmosphere just at the heart of city centre

Most like it Cold? Attracted by the food at the counter therefore walked in like the majority did. But have been in this cafe less than 5 times. Why? Because it's too over priced. The sandwich and pastries looked genuinely nice. Requested for heating when trying to eat in but failed. The cafe insisted to serve everything in room temperature. No heating service even it charges you more for eating in the cafe. Why? The cafe is too cold inside. Personally I prefer a more warm and cosy environment. Not a cafe with cold bakery products and cold environment. But still, it's a relatively clean environment. The food are standard, better say, no surprise nor disappointment. I know it's very highly rated in Cambridge town centre, but different people have different taste. Most like it Cold I guess. Please don't take my review too hard. Everyone has different taste. No one in this world can win everyone's approval. As it's always some like it hot.

Came in here whilst waiting on some other errands to wrap up. I got an iced mocha and chocolate-almond croissant for dine in. The croissant was very nice and a combination that I'd never had before. I do plan to return to get another of these delicious pastries. The mocha, on the other hand, was not worth the money or calories. It was not chocolatey or sweet enough and did not have enough ice and therefore became watered down too quickly. I might consider returning for a baked good but I don't plan on getting barista drinks from Gail's again.

I had walked past GAIL’s on Saturday and was drawn closer by the bread in the window and then when I looked through I could see lots of really nice looking food and friendly faces behind the counter too, at this point a friend and I already had coffees in hand so we said after we’d explored Cambridge a little more that we would return and get food - which we did. The food is sooooo good - I had the Challah Knot with Harissa Chicken, a spinach and feta roll and a cookie - it tasty fresh and flavoursome - I’m definitely coming back here soon, might also have to bring friends with me so they can experience it for themselves too!
