Harriets Cafe Tea Rooms - 6 bench tables 2-4 tops

Harriets Cafe Tea Rooms

A landmark and a nice break from the busy Bury Streets. (AIE)…read more Little frayed around the edges and service started out rough, but it recovered for a calm relaxing afternoon tea. This place had been recommended by the locals as a good first stop on my afternoon tea bucket list. It is just fancy enough to keep you interested, but casual enough to put you at ease. Think i showed up during a rush and an employee break. One person was helping to seat, cleaning and taking orders. He was joined by 3 others about 10 min later. My order was taken out of seating order. Not the worst thing in the world. After he guided away from the children's menu, yes- I confused it for a specials menu, he made polite conversation when he come with the tea. Two teas that interested me were out of stock. Settled for the house blend 2. Enjoyable. Tea tower had a perfectly cooked brownie, macaroon, well toasted scone accompanied by jam and clotted cream, and theme finger sandwiches. The sandwiches were starting to crust, but I suspect they do so much business they are prepped in the morning. Little salt and they were perfect. At £15, affordable and good portion for tea for one. Worth a visit. Note. They try to set all 1-2 tops in the middle tables first. I stayed there, but many locals would move to the wall seats, given half the chance. (American in England)

I used to go every Sunday when I lived there. I loved the breakfast; service and atmosphere. I miss…read moremy chosen home town:)

We took a break here while spending the day walking around town. We were able to order lattes and hot chocolates and seat ourselves on their lounge sofas for a little while. The coffee was good, and most people seemed to be enjoying themselves, whether having a meal, or studying in small groups. I could definitely see myself hanging out here often. Cycle across nearby Parkers Piece, hang your bike on the wall, and enjoy a cup of coffee from their Cambridge Blue espresso machine!

The place has quite a bit of a hipster vibe, which would be endearing if the quality of the food…read moreand drink was up to par. I believe the quality of this place does not justify the prices. We ordered an espresso, cafe latte and a lemon cheesecake. Cheesecake slice was a bit small, but not small enough to elicit protest of my wife. Flavor-wise it was unremarkable. The lemon flavor was there, but it was not prominent. I wish cheesecake was creamier and less sweet. It was certainly too sweet for our taste. Latte was small, served in what seemed an 8 oz glass. It was passable, but lacked flavor and was not better than a home made one, with Tesco ground beans. Sure, warm milk and caffeine are nice and comforting, but generally any other place in Cambridge can give you a latte equally good as this. Espresso was rather disappointing. It arrived flat, without crema, resembling a filter coffee more than an espresso. The beans used were good, but the extraction was faulty. The drink lacked depth in flavor and the taste dissipated in a few minutes. Espresso was served without side water. Generally, the food and drink are passable, but not exciting. I don't think I will come back soon.
