Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

  • "Small and very cozy little Coffee place with seating upstairs."
  • "The place looks so nice and comfy seating, yet, it is kinda crowded most of the time but you can see people are having coffee outside the place too or in the garden on the other side of the street."
  • "Lovely seating outside though, perfect for reading in the sun."
  • "The cafe is beautifully styled and also offers some cookies and pastries."
  • "Decor is luxuriously chic."
  • "Intimate design - great for dates."
  • "Cosy coffee shop, at reasonable prices and with friendly staff."
  • "Great setting with comfortable seating."

Cons:

  • "The coffee shop had its merits with good food and aesthetics, but the presence of numerous flies and some other inconveniences made it less than ideal for a productive work environment."
  • "The sitting space upstairs is somehow small but it's very cozy and warm."
  • "Much smaller than the other shop (literally only six chairs)."
  • "This cafe is very small, with only 4 seats downstairs and a very small upstairs area."
  • "The shop itself is quite snug, so if you’re looking for a place to sit and chat, or to work remotely, you might want to find something more spacious."
  • "Only problem is quite small so avoid going on a rainy day, weekends or peak times if you want to sit there."
  • "So little space to sit. The is a bench with bar stools downstairs just 3 tables upstairs."
  • "Really nice coffee and a lovely setting with good food and really nice service. Only thing is that the music upstairs is terrible and too loud - makes it difficult to relax or do any work / read / talk to friends / etc."

Coffee Quality & Selection

Pros:

  • "The coffee is so smooth and tasty."
  • "Best of all is the coffee. Super high quality, just as they claim."
  • "The Indian beans are such a surprise— rich, creamy latte with chocolaty, caramel, and nutty flavors."
  • "The coffee blend is incredible, amazing cream on the cappuccino, and at a perfect temperature!"
  • "The coffee is rich and smooth. The quality of both the coffee and milk is absolutely excellent."
  • "The coffee was amazing, I had a piccolo for the first time and it was incredible."
  • "The coffee is amazing here.. probably the best in Cambridge."
  • "The coffee they use is top quality and the baristas are all excellent."

Cons:

  • "It tested very smooth and good, but was a bit too weak for me personally."
  • "The coffee, although tasty, came in small cups, and the lack of Wi-Fi was a downside."
  • "Coffee drinks were nothing special but super pricy."
  • "I could barely taste the coffee (maybe I needed the triple shot offering), my partner just thought the coffee was a bit meh."
  • "Coffee is not to my taste, a bit too bitter, while it has a strong flavour, there's no journey."
  • "Super disappointing decaf oat flat whites - considering that these guys can definitely make coffee, this very much seemed as though they simply don’t bother when it’s a decaf."
  • "From an Italian perspective, sorry but your broda is one of the worst espresso in Cambridge."
  • "Bad coffee, bad service, overpriced awful coffee served by two people that didn't care, extremely weak coffee."

Service & Staff

Pros:

  • "The service was very nice and my coffee arrived quickly with beautiful latte art."
  • "However, it's worth noting that the staff were actually very kind and sweet, which was a positive aspect of my visit."
  • "Really cool spot. Very friendly and helpful service."
  • "Great staff and great coffee! What else can you ask for?! - really impressed with the service here, staff generally interested in you, very friendly and professional."
  • "Very professional and friendly staff and honestly one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had."
  • "Staff were lovely and friendly. Only problem is it's very small on the inside, was worried I was going to knock everything over!"
  • "Absolutely Beautiful. The coffee is rich and smooth. Thank you."
  • "Proper coffee shop with a proper smile and service, lovely to sit in and watch the hustle and bustle go by and the many regulars coming to pick up there go juice, all being greeted so warmly!"

Cons:

  • "My experience working on a laptop in this coffee shop left me feeling uncomfortable."
  • "Coffee was nice and strong and the sticky bun was delicious, perfect with the coffee. Is within range of eduroam and a cosy spot to work. Only criticism is the exceptionally banal music."
  • "Coffee and staff are good, sure! But be prepared to be penalised if you have lactose intolerance or if you're vegan! You'll be paying extra for the alternative milk."
  • "coffee is undoubtedly tasty but the staff made me feel so uncomfortable. I asked for a large cappuccino and they said they don't do that while laughing at me and being FAKE nice."
