Visiting Cambridge we of course had to stop at Fitzbillies for some Chelsea buns, which were not as messy as we expected and very good indeed. We also had some scones, nice as well. There was a long queue of customers waiting to order, but staff is amazingly fast and we even managed to get a table.
Lovely relaxed atmosphere and amazing cakes and pastries. Definitely try the date cake and cinnamon roll. The Chelsea buns looked amazing too but our stomachs couldn’t match our eyes!
Tea was good but served in teapot with a cracked spout so hope that gets looked at.
They also sell a limited range
It was ok. Scones were great. Nice place to sit in the back and enjoy the food.
Great spot for lunch in Cambridge, selection of food and sweet treats is amazing. Their signature Chelsea buns are to die for. Highly recommend and would go back again and again.
We went there for the very famous Chelsea bun and it did not disappoint. It’s very rich, syrupy and cinnamon-y. We didn’t know what to except but now I know if we lived in Cambridge this would be our guilty pleasure! Definitely worth the hype.
The iced latte was a refreshing blend of perfectly balanced espresso and creamy milk. Complementing the iced latte was the star of the show - the cinnamon roll. 🍮
Conveniently located in the heart of Cambridge, Fitzbillies is the perfect treat stop during your city sightseeing adventure.
You probably won't get a seat, unless you're lucky and there is always a line going out of the door. But it's worth the wait to be honest. Great Coffee, lovely pastries, famous buns, got to love the buns. Staff are always busy but nice and helpful.
You will not be disappointed, join the queue.
Nice location, just by the river.
Cinnamon bun is quite famous here and we tried it too . It was good :)
Great coffee!!
Famous for its Chelsea buns, Fitzbillies has lots more to offer. It has a full menu of brunch and lunch coffeeshop items, as well as a selection of yummy cakes. It can get very busy with its prime location by Magdalene bridge. It is by one of the main departure points for punts, so it may be an i
Amazing Chelsea buns, good hot chocolate and quick service.
The macarons mainly the chocolate one was amazing... The famous Chelsea Buns were delish! A nice cozy place but there was just o e problem with the service in the whole of cambridge restaurants and that was the customers need to pay almost in every place about 50p/60p/£1 more for just sitting in and
Can definitely see why their Chelsea buns are famous. Perfect with coffee after a tiring punt
The place definitely lives up to the hype. Both coffee and breakfast was top tier. The pancakes were especially good and a 100% would recommend. The service from the staff and our waitress Agne was very attentive and efficient. We will definitely come again next time we visit Cambridge
A Cambridge institution! Very tasty, good service, great location. Delicious 😋
The place that is so famous for their chelsea buns have actually the best carrot cake!
We tried buns as well however they were more sweeter than expected and not that fresh, as they are making many bunch ahead
Excellent breakfast tea!
The only downside is that the palace doesn't offer soy milk
Supe
Deliciousness!!! Ordered two cheese toasties with two poached eggs on the side. The food came out fresh, and hot - it tasted great. Enjoyed their mocha and Latte with their world famous Chelsea bun - this thing is sweet with the taste of cinnamon, honey, and raisins. Beware - it can be little too sw
Excellent traditional style cafe in tune with the academic ambience of Cambridge. Chelsea buns! We had not had these for so long. They were good and they were sticky, so I ate mine with a knife and fork. Spacious and refined.
I like the place. It is famed for its Chelsea buns that were a firm favourite of Professor Stephen Hawking over his many years in Cambridge. The buns are very sweet but suitably delicious. The addition of ice cream milkshakes would make the place practically perfect.
