My favourite cafe in Cambridge. The staff are wonderfully friendly and never forget a face - my partner and I go most days and there are plenty of options on the menu. The drinks are inexpensive, especially with their student discount, and they have the best coffee I've had outside of Italy! Make sure to stop here if you're ever in town.
