Good place to take a break from the majestic flora. Sip a coffee or take a vegan roll to gain more energy before heading back to the botanic gardens.

Gardens beautiful but avoid the cafe. Told kitchen shut and it was lunch time and charged twice for drinks which my bank phoned me about as possible fraud!

Amazing open space in the centre of Cambridge. The glass houses are extraordinary and I love to take a walk regardless of the season because there is always something new to see. The cafe has good food although the queuing system never ever makes sense to me and I feel too many tables have been put indoors making it difficult to navigate if you have mobility issues. But the cakes and coffee are delicious!

Such a relaxing and peaceful place to visit- perfect for a gentle stroll or to do some school work. I particularly liked the tropical greenhouse area and the Guppy pond! The food was delicious and even though it was busy the service was perfect (a little pricey I will admit but still delicious). I will definitely be revisiting especially since there were some areas of flowers that hadn't bloomed yet which I'd love to go back and see!

The café is clean and it's nice eating in the outside area on warm days. The food choices are good and the cake options are amazing. The only thing that is not so good are the toilet facilities, in that there is not enough of them. They are perfectly clean, though.
