The Cambridge Oven

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.

I'm not a fan of raisins and dried fruit in general, but that Chelsea bun might turn me around. The texture was perfect, and the taste was nostalgic and warm. Like your favourite blanket on a cold day. I wasn't even thinking of buying it, but the girl at the counter convinced me. Kudos to you, counter lady.

Stopped there for a cup of tea and quick bite. Pastries look delicious, I couldn’t decide between a Chelsea bun and an apple pie for good ten minutes! Pros 1. Fantastic sweet pastries, can recommend a Chelsea bun. So soft, moist, cinnamony and sugary, every bite was a delight (haha, so happy to remember the experience I even started rhyming 😂) 2. The place itself is nice looking and comfy 3. They are open until 4am on Saturdays, yay! Cons 1. Strictly imo but I’d love to drink a cup of good loose leaf tea with such amazing pastries. They offer teabags of English Breakfast and Earl Grey which is a bit boring.

Today my bus was cancelled so I had to walk to work, and in doing so, past this bakery that I have wanted to enter for weeks. I am legitimately furious about how good the food is. I had an apple cruffin and it was the best thing I have literally ever eaten in my life. Now I have to debate if I should stop taking the bus, and walk an hour to work just so I can stop in and continue to eat here! I take baked goods that involves sugar very seriously, this is 10/10
