Reviews Waitrose Cafe

Good store, car parking is a bit of a pain as it fills up quickly and remains that way most of the time - similar story with bicycle parking, although there is an adequate amount of that. The car park now has several electric vehicle charging points as well. The store itself is clean and staff are always very friendly. The store does get extremely busy, especially around lunch hour, evening rush hour & at weekends and during holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter, bank holidays). The store is well laid out and there's plenty of room to move even when it is busy. There is a fish counter, a meat counter, a deli and cheese counter, a sushi bar, a bakery (with a Gail's food stand) and freshly made bread, and a cafe (which again can get quite busy). The toilets are at the front of the store, right at the end near the cafe. The welcome desk is just as you enter the store and it's always manned by lovely people should you need assistance - this is also where the free coffee/tea machines are, however do note that you now require a Waitrose card to scan at the coffee machine for your drink. In the foyer bit there are always plenty of lovely flowers and plants - the plant display often extends to outside during the summer months. The foyer is also where poppy sellers and such are stationed during collection periods. There's also usually a seasonal aisle - opposite the cafe - where Christmas, Halloween and Easter etc items are stocked. All in all when it's not too busy the store is a pleasant experience and the cafe is a nice place to sit and take a breather even if you're not shopping there - but it's quite pricey in store these days, and the offers really aren't that great. I'd still recommend it though.

Good variety and quality of products. Very tasty sushi. Salmon steaks are lovely as well. Highly recommend this supermarket. It's a shame it's the only big Waitrose in Cambridge though.

Called in for late breakfast. Excellent service and food. Coffee good too. Will certainly use again if I'm working in the area.

Nice and posh supermarket in Trumpington. I love the variety of products, it's more expensive then other supermarkets but the quality is also higher. The café is also very nice (service can be slow at times...) If you have vitality insurance you can get cashback on your shopping as well. Free parking and now electric charging points.

Really good much better than other stores well stocked
