Our Guestbook
“ Chelsea bun tasted good, but noting extraordinary, I think it’s just social media/internet hype. Great coffee, and cosy little cafe, might be hard to find space at busy times. 2 Chelsea buns and 2 Flat whites came to 15! ”
“ I recently came across this cake house with a group of friends. We ordered a few different items to share, including the scone, the blue cheesecake, and the chocolate caramel salted cake. Each treat was incredibly fresh and flavourful, with the perfect balance of sweetness. The scone was soft and buttery, and the cakes were indulgent without being overly rich — just delightful! The presentation was lovely too. We had a light-hearted chat with the counter staff, which made the experience feel personal and even more enjoyable. ”
“ Had brunch at this location and it was so good, we came back for afternoon tea the next day! Great food. Oliver’s service and recommendations were excellent. Highly recommend for anyone coming in to Cambridge and looking for a great spot to eat. ”
“ Of my 3 mornings in Cambridge, I had breakfast here on 2 of them. Once I saw their scones through the window while walking the city on my first day, I decided to stop in the next morning. Each day, I had a delicious sultana scone (with clotted cream the first time and jam each time) with English breakfast tea. I added peanut butter I bought from a grocery store. I had friendly service. I liked the vibe. Love the look of all of the locations. Great, all around. ”
“ There was a really sweet staff member, I had a lovely conversation with him! I tried the Chelsea bun, and it had a perfectly balanced flavor. It’s a busy place, but warm and welcoming. ”
“ The food are very very good. It’s a popular shop. Full of people and a bit loud if you eat in. I would suggest prevent the peak hour if you want to enjoy the coffee instead of having a quick lunch. Price is reasonable. ”
“ I stopped by Fitzbillies and had their almond macaroon — it was phenomenal. Crisp on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and full of flavor. The coffee was also quite good and paired really well with the pastry. The location is another highlight — I sat by the window and enjoyed watching the charming Cambridge street life go by. It’s a lovely spot to take a break, people-watch, and treat yourself to something delicious. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ A must visit for us when in Cambridge. Highly recommend the full English breakfast. The food is great quality, decent portion size and the hash browns are most delicious! The team are fantastic, great customer service and very accommodating. The blueberry iced buns are a must try too-we always purchase a few to take home and enjoy with a cup of tea. ”
