Ideal for a coffee run or a place to have an afternoon snack. I tried the ‘famous’ Chelsea Buns and thought it was just okay; I’m not sure if I’d try this again, but there are other bun flavours, and when it’s not that busy (it gets a big crowd) I can probably go back and try.

Amazing tea house for a brunch or a short tea cake. Seems to be an institution of the city. Pie of the day and Turkish eggs were amazing.

Not many places can be that busy and have such good service and excellent managing of the stressful fast paced environment. While being there, they didn’t stop being extra busy and people queuing outside. Everything came really quickly, everything tasted amazing, and all at an excellent price! Thank you Team!!! You are awesome!

Had lunch at this traditional cafe hoping to try the famous “Chelsea Bun”. The cafe has a very nice window display showing off their best pastries and inside there was a counter with lots of cakes displaying for takeaway. I was seated pretty quickly when I went at midday considering this is a well known cafe spot. We picked Egg Florentine and Chelsea Bun French toast with whipped Greek yoghurt and berries. The Egg Florentine is as expected and the Chelsea Bun French toast is nice but i would think it is actually very similar to cinnamon bun. The service and the seating is comfortable so will be a good spot to drop by for a lunch / tea in Cambridge, would love to try its scones next time though!

Breakfast was delicious, only waited 5 minutes to be seated. Did have to ask for cutlery and remind that the syrup for the pancakes was missing, however, staff were very pleasant. Tables were quite tightly packed, so at one point it felt like I was actually dining with others, so not somewhere to go if you desire privacy! Very enjoyable and picked some Chelsea Buns for this afternoon.

Came here during my first visit to Cambridge with the fam and have to say id deffo recommend. The food and drinks were amazing and had to come back again to try their Chelsea buns and salted caramel and chocolate buns, both did not disappoint (would recommend going early before they sell out). All the staff were soo lovely especially Afonso who's singing made my day :)

Came for the famous Chelsea buns and some coffee. The place itself was quite busy due to its popularity, so we had to wait for a table to be available. However, this wasn't long. The staff is very attentive and friendly, but it gets quite crowded most days, so I would suggest getting a take away if possible. The drinks and the Chelsea bun were very good, and I would overall recommend visiting for the experience.

I had to try a chelsea bun ice cream while I was in Cambridge. It was lovely. Staff were okay. They were more concerned with chatting with each other than serving but they weren’t really rude, just not exactly welcoming either. It didn’t matter much since I just wanted the ice cream.

Came here for a simple tea and cake, we weren't disappointed by the food, coffee could have been better though. A lovely place to come, staff were friendly and accommodating even though they did forget half of our order - they were quite busy. I had the chocolate brownie with ice cream and chocolate sauce, was an extremely large portion, the brownie was cold though and I was hoping it would be hot...but can't have everything. Generally happy overall.

We had an amazing experience at this brunch place in Cambridge! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which was especially appreciated as we had a larger group. The food was simply unbelievable, and the portions were very generous, leaving us completely satisfied. Despite being very busy and lively, the wait staff remained attentive and made sure we had a great time. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic brunch outing!
