Amazing. We'd already got a fun vegetarian restaurant in Cambridge and now we have a fabulous vegan one too! Stem + Glory adjoins the new Mitcham's Corner yoga studio (recently opened by Camyoga) which helps lend a lovely calm atmosphere to the eatery. Their fine dining evenings are a real treat. Stunning looking food which tastes incredible. I overheard a woman on the adjoining table enthuse to her partner that as a vegan she'd never been able to have a taster menu before. The space was abuzz with people excited to be eating top notch vegan food in Cambridge. All the food was wonderful, but my favourites were the salad course and the dessert. I knew we'd be in for a treat at the end since I'd taken Stem + Glory's yuletide chocolate log home at Christmas. I have no idea how such exquisite baking is done without eggs, butter, and cream. Here be magic!

Lovely meal, best vegan meal I've eaten out in a long while. You pay for a plate then pile it with variety of hot and cold foods - bit like tapas? I had Spring pie, lasagne, coleslaw and potato salad with dill. All homemade and scrumptious. We went home with some cookies and I braved a turmeric latte which was really nice.
I last went to Stem and Glory some years ago in its original venue. It was decent, but I didn’t feel the need to return. This time? Oh my goodness. I will be back. The menu has had a full revamp and is full of exciting and interesting dishes. It is a bit of a crazy mixture of different ideas but somehow it works! What I particularly enjoyed was the flavour combinations that I hadn’t come across before - the sour/sweet green onion and miso sauce with the kimchi pancakes, the funky ferments of the pickles, the creamy cauliflower sauce that came with the king oyster mushroom stems and artichoke dish - try it mixed with the fermented capers in the pickles. And for goodness sake order some of their garlic bread to mop all the sauce up at the end, it is outstandingly good. Things to improve? The lighting is a bit bright - a bit more mood lighting would help! The drinks menus are illegible… Just get them printed on a bit of paper, it will be fine :-) And It would be nice to have a bottle of water on the table when we come in. Overall, the service was excellent, the prices very fair, and the staff and chefs were very happy to answer all our questions and were very welcoming and helpful. I will be coming back. Not because it’s vegan, that is distinctly not a selling point for me. I will be coming back because the food is fantastic and intriguing. The presentation is beautiful. And the staff are excellent. One of the best meals I’ve had in Cambridge in years.
Absolutely brilliant place! We went here for my hen party and they were so accommodating. With it being a large party, Jim communicated with us beforehand and he was polite and helpful.
On the day they popped up some decorations for us (which my mum dropped off the day before).
Food was unbelievably good and all 12 of us loved both courses. Fresh food, delicious flavours and excellent service.
Most guests are not veggie/ vegan and all commented on how good it was. My friend noted that her vegan pizza was better than a regular pizza.
Thanks for a lovely afternoon!
Delightful food & drinks menu with an attentive and cheerful staff.
Having had a rubbish experience in waggamamas the night before this was a total opposite. They were brilliant. A fresh tasty new menu apparently, all of which sounded great. (and healthy too!.) Hard to choose just one thing.
I had the " burger" bowl . And an amaretto sour. Went back to my hotel very happy and suitably fed.
Thank you Stem & Glory!
We are not vegans, but we really enjoyed the food - it was delicious. Service was very attentive, and we felt like valued diners. We don't live in Cambridge but if we did we would certainly return!
Awesome food – great combinations! Outstanding taste of the dessert (hot pear with crumble and vanilla ice cream). I would want to eat my way through the entire menu. Vegan is so wonderful. That`s definitely a place to convince people to try vegan food more often. More people need to be open and taste the healthy high standard food explosion in places like Stem & Glory. Vegan is more than just fast food like burgers and Wraps and Stem & Glory shows us.
Food was really tasty and i highly recommend. Because we used a voucher there was a bit of confusion by the staff where we were advised of something first than something different by another member of staff.. However they managed to sort and we had our 3 course meal with drinks included
Will most likely come back when im back in cambridge
Always an enjoyable experience here. I have taken my aunt here as she has a life threatening shellfish allergy but loves shellfish. Being able to go somewhere fully plant based and offers fake scallops - and similar in taste - was so nice! She was SO happy. Today, I went back for the 3 course tasting menu we got as a gift. What's included at this time? A glass of fizz, a glass of wine (cheapest one of either white, rose or red) and a 3 course meal. Such good value too. The "fish" tacos were great as an appetiser and the Italian stew was really tasty! We are lovers of kimchi and for personal taste, felt the kimchi from the pancakes tasted more like coleslaw with liquid smoke & bbq flavours. The desserts were delicious! Fun to have a tasty vegan cheesecake and the creme brulee was made perfectly! Great service as well. Always has :-) If ever nearby the station, this place has indoor and outdoor seating and is worth a visit! One of my favourite restaurants in Cambridge.
We visited Cambridge specifically to eat at Stem & Glory for our anniversary. We were very impressed! The food was delicious, tasty, well presented and great portions. All the staff were friendly, helpful and offered great menu advice.
The buffalo cauliflower wings where wonderful. A fabulous vegan experience!
It was really great! HUGE portion. I over ordered - the Asian bowl + Pickles and Ferments. Took home the leftovers
I bigger glass for my sparkling water would have been nice, and cleaner toilets.
Overall really good. Nobody said goodbye as I left which was a shame. But all in all pretty good 👌🏻
The vegan food was great! I had the vegan fish and it tasted delicious! The outdoor seating area was lovely.
