As an avid peppermint tea drinker, I very rarely come across a cafe that serves peppermint leaves, instead of tea bag’s. Thank you so much!! All the best with your business.

I got soup and curly chips. The soup came with sourdough and it was really nice. The person who served us was super kind. I really liked the decor its so cute. Highly recommend coming here.

Really appreciated the man at the counter serving my partner and I. He had great manners and was very mature, made us feel welcome. The prices are reasonable and it made my day having brunch here! 😊

My family moved from Auckland to Cambridge 2 years ago, and in all my visits to Cambridge, after trying out all the cafés, Rouge was the cream that rose easily to the top. It's my Cambridge family's daily stop, and a favourite for us when we visit.
The food, which I believe is mostly made on-site (baked goods etc) is amazing quality and presented beautifully. The portions are really good value, and everything we've tried has been outstanding.
The serving staff are all so polite, professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and always wanting to make your experience 5 star, going the the extra mile, and when we've witnessed any mistakes in orders, or something not quite to a customers liking, they always seem to bend over backwards to make it right.
Amazing courtyard when the weather's good, with patrons dogs welcomed, and a real vibe from passing foot-traffic, as well as great tables and atmosphere inside.
This is one place to put on your list of "must-do's" when you visit. A real pleasure to go to a coffee shop where customer service is top of the priority list.
5 Stars FOR SURE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a visitor from Auckland, with family living in Cambridge, this is the only cafe we ever go to for coffee, cabinet food, or brunch. The food is all made on the premises, is amazing quality, and very constantly far above average. Prices are very good, and portion sizes are very generous. The service has always been of a very high standard from baristas, waitering staff, to the manager and chef, who always comes out to check on whether customers are satisfied. Great courtyard for enjoying the sun, and letting fur babies sit alongside the table.

Went there with my husband and Mum. My husband had the big breakfast which was great. Mum and I shared the oriental platter and curly fries. The platter had wontons, mini spring rolls and samosa's which were cooked to perfection, light and crispy without being oily.
