We dropped in for brunch and had the delicious avocados and mushrooms on sourdough. Very tasty and well presented. It was quite hard to work out what was vegan from the menu, but the staff were great at helping us. Despite it being quite busy, the staff were doing a great job with orders and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We also loved walking around the orchard and along the river. It's an absolutely beautiful spot. Highly recommended.
Very good scones! About £3.60 each without cream and jam. They have cakes, coffee, wine, and of course tea. The garden is lovely and spacious - you can set up your own chairs and plot yourself under the sun for some warmth.
You can't beat the outdoor sitting area and the meadows for walking (5 stars just for that reasoning alone). Flat white was good and cakes etc are fairly standard. They stop serving food at 3pm, so we missed it this time. Also, the tables outside need to be cleaned more often.
Lovely garden and great vibe to enjoy the last big of summer, except for some queuing in a good weather, but understandable. Plus, perfect view and distance to hike back to the city. Highly recommend!
Very nice place for brunch or lunch. Scones were particularly delicious, freshly baked and nice. Relaxing atmosphere and children friendly space. Totally recommend.
Spacious and beautiful tea garden. We spent a couple of hours enjoying our cream tea and the outdoor garden. The food was good, the garden was lovely. To those who would like to visit—be prepared to spend substantial amount of time queuing and then looking for a place to sit since even in February it was challenging to find an unoccupied table.
Pros
*Freshly baked scones with clotted cream and variety of jams
*Big and beautiful garden
*Picturesque pathways and surrounding areas, we walked to Cambridge after having a cream tea and enjoyed our little walk immensely
Cons
*Queues 😑
*Staff are here to mind the cash counter, you would beed to find a table and bring your trays there by yourself. Tbh, it’s not really a con, just a mild inconvenience but I almost dropped my tray since it was heavy and that’s an unpleasant memory.
*As tables and chairs are often located under the trees, don’t be surprised to see bird poo covering them.
😊
Great place for afternoon tea.
We went canoeing down the river and finished it off with a cream tea and a drink. Really relaxing place with cool deckchairs and tables outside in the garden.
Very busy as it was a hot day so was a challenge to find a free one but definitely worth it.

This is a little gem located in grantchester.
Take a lovely walk to the tea garden from Cambridge and enjoy a light lunch or cream tea before strolling back.
There's a very good selection of delights on offer.
They offer a range of teas and milks, there's usually over half a dozen different cakes to choose from and they they provide gluten free!
Now getting on to the coffee, so listen up coffee lovers. They once sold something that was meant to resemble "coffee" I use this term loosely, however now (June 2023) they've upped their game in serious style. Their coffee is simply some of the best in Cambridge! No this is not a joke. The grantchester tea gardens have great coffee! I would say it rivals hot numbers and bould brothers easily, but with much better surroundings. The only other place that is on par with the coffee at the grantchester tea garden, is in the flock cafe at Burwash manor in Barton.
The food on offer is very nice and I don't know if it tastes better surrounded by lovely greenery but it's certainly good.
The whole setting is lovely for meeting friends, enjoying it with family or just sitting with a book and enjoying the song of the birds.
Well worth a trip.
They're dog friendly and I recently had a cute pair of ducks come and sit by me. Definitely a little gem of a place.
Bonus: the car park is currently free to patrons!
Iconic garden and tea room not far from the river Cam. The perfect stop for anyone taking the walk from Cambridge to Grantchester. It can be very busy on Sundays during the Summer, so try to get there early.
We really enjoyed sitting out in the garden and having our scones. I also got a salad which was ok but the scones were a lot more exciting. I love the vibe here it’s worth coming and hanging out on a nice day!
