If St.Ives could stop feeding money into the River Tea Rooms it would spruce itself up and become…read morewhat it really needs to be. It could be a beauty. Sitting next to the River Ouse and with a lovely view of fields across to the Hemingfords, it can be a great spot to relax outside in the sun during the summer months if you're lucky enough to get a table. During the colder times you have the same view of the river but the tables are all generally facing the browning Dolphin Hotel across the way, and that's still if you're lucky enough to get a table. Don't be fooled, the popularity predominantly comes from being the only place that's not a chain or pub disguised as a coffee hangout. The atmosphere is pretty old lady stereotypical; wipeable tablecloths with garish flowery or cupcake prints, basic wooden chairs, and displays of china and cake stands. Service from behind the counter is friendly whereas those on the floor are much more flustered, dashing food from the 'kitchen' to the tables with no system other than to shout the orders and hope someone somewhere raises their hand. Even the usual garden centre system of wooden spoons with numbers on would take this up a star rating - I am not fond of hearing spontaneous shouts of "jacket potatoes" or "teacakes" during my morning cuppa. The crockery was pretty chipped and there was a strange pot of pepper packets on the table. I only went for a cup of tea, which was fine, but the cake always look temptingly handmade - much more exciting and attractive than the Costa offerings on Marketing Street. Up the cute and cozy with a dash of vintage and it could be more attractive to the younger generation. But maybe that's what they're trying to avoid? After all, it is St.Ives.

Perfect setting on the river in St Ives and even better if you're lucky enough to get the weather…read more We sat on an outside table today on a cold but sunny autumn day and it was really peaceful (with the exception of some noisy seagulls at times) in very picturesque surroundings. There was quite a long wait and the service wasn't great to be honest which is where it lost a couple of stars but this is a good place for a light snack or coffee and cake. I had a ham and red onion marmalade baguette which was yummy however they got my order wrong initially so I was left waiting a short while whilst the rest of the group were tucking into their lunch. The cakes were delicious after a difficult decision on what to get as they had a fantastic selection but the coffee was mediocre in my opinion or maybe just not strong enough like I'm accustomed to. Overall I think it is the setting and the quality of the cakes on offer that make this a lovely little tea room. It was very busy and the staff looked rushed off their feet so maybe the poor service was a one off and I would certainly try this place again.

The jam jar is a little tea, coffee and cake restaurant just off of the St ives beach…read more They sell amazing home made cakes, a slice of cake and a nice cup of tea after a day of adventure on the beach is definitely the best way to end the day. You can both eat and drink outside on the benches and enjoy the sunshine with the view of the beach or you can sit inside a grey small bricked building called the jam jar which is where it gets its name from, it isn't just a dull grey bricked building though it's the whole feature of the coffee shop and has to be seen to be appreciated. It is an amazing little place which has to be visited just to see who wonderful it actually is, I still have great memories of it and hope to visit there again someday soon.

But the coffee,…read morewhich should be great, was sadly mediocre - a great disappointment considering the prices and the strong branding associated with Costa. This isn't just limited to this store - I often find that cafes in the UK don't properly teach their staff how to make good coffee. So the beans might be good but the end product is sadly lacking. A little barrista training wouldn't go a miss. This was definitely the case in this store. It's not terrible. Just overpriced and very average.

This was the first "neighborhood" coffee spot I found when visiting relatives in Lower Cambourne…read more I knew I had to give it a try. The outside of the building is nice, but you can't tell how large of a spot it really is. I almost always order an iced mocha and sometimes depending where I am, I get looks of confusion. This time however, the girl behind the counter was all smiles and asked me exactly how I wanted my drink. I tried the drink, it needed a little tweaking, I wanted it sweeter and she gladly helped me out and was super friendly about it. The space offers tables to sit down. There is also sofa type seating in the rear. It was cozy, but not small, hip, but not trying too hard. There is also outdoor seating which is a nice plus. I instantly liked the vibe and my drink was good. If I lived in the area, this would surely be my new coffee spot.
