    Very overhyped gelato shop with impatient staff and limited flavors (unique but also overdone: coconut ube, honeycomb, black currant). The gelato is okay, and very cheap, so I think that's a big reason people like this place

    Salted Oreo and Blackcurrant
    Jennifer H.

    There is a reason there is always a line at this gelato shop! None of the generic flavors here, and they change daily. After sampling a couple, we went with Salted Oreo and Blackcurrant. These were delicious, but so were the Stroopwaffle and Polets Breton, so it's clear they have many unique offerings. One scoop on top of a cone was more than enough to satisfy us.

    Almond raspberry swirl and honeycomb!

    Small place , big on flavor! Superb gelato. May have a line but it moves fast. Under 5 euros for two large scoops. Very unique flavors.

    Honeycomb and raspberry cake Gelato.

    The unique flavors, perfect texture, and friendly staff make Jacks Gelato a must try while you are in Cambridge. If the line is a little long go enjoy a beer at the Eagle and come back. They bring the queue of people down very effectively. Some personal favorites of mine were the honey comb and raspberry cake!

    Jack's gelato features interesting flavors of Ice cream! I was super surprised to see elderflower sorbet as I've never had that flavor in ice cream form. The burnt sugar + salt was delicious and the strawberries and cream was not bad. Their Ice cream tastes like it's made of real materials and has a nice consistency. There is limited seating inside so I recommend getting to eat as you walk around the area.

    A delight in Cambridge, which at times felt like food desert. Very flexible as well, allowed me to put two flavors in one cup.

    I highly recommend their Coconut Chocolate Chip and Mascarpone, which are the two flavors I ended up getting!

    Ice cream that your taste buds will thank you for!…read more Newly opened, 6 Ice Cream is the latest and most delectable addition to the Bene't St parade of food and drink. The ice cream is made daily in the counter-top machines, served with cakes and biscuits also made there: flavours change based on the produce available at Cambridge Market in the morning, so you'll always be offered something new and delicious. So ice cream is obviously for summer? You couldn't be more wrong! The autumn flavours coming up - roast apricots, spices and potential savoury specials - will bring you in when the days are short and the sun just a wistful memory... A beautifully appointed space with a bijou number of seats, 6 Ice Cream is a perfect addition to food obsessed Cambridge - pop in when it's sunny, satisfy a craving when the weather's miserable, and take home a six pack with all the toppings for a perfect dessert - only leave some for me!

    WOW. Excellent ice cream. I guess you wonder why there are only two pictures uploaded for this…read moreplace. The answer would be: it is so delicious and fresh that you do not have the time to take a picture before you eat all of it. I had Blood Orange Sorbet, which got the perfect balance between zesty and sweet and Lemon Yogurt, which was very creamy but still got the healthy feeling of a yogurt. Also, they have a lovely selection of toppings. Nicely presented, all looked very tasty. And, I saw they serve Monmouth coffee. I did not order one, but I know it would be great just by seeing the Monmouth name. Definitely will come back no matter how long the queue would be!!!

    Of all the places I would have thought to try the bubble waffle, Cambridge was probably last on my…read morelist. I'd barely even caught on to the new trend with social media in London, so imagine my surprise when I was shopping through the city centre and walked by Bubble Tap on its opening day last winter. They're a bit pricey, but portioned to share, so we ordered one with chocolate ice cream, Nutella, strawberries, sprinkles, and cream and didn't know what to expect in terms of wait time. Would I come back? It's a novel, "grammable" dessert but not something I'd go out of my way to eat again, especially not on my own. Since that visit, I've learned that they now offer menu combinations dedicated to the scientists of Cambridge, like the Newton or the Turing. Interesting.

    I confess I love waffles (a lot!) so when we went in I was already pretty much sold on the concept…read more The ice cream is deliciously creamy, the waffles puffy, and the toppings fresh. My son, not a waffle fan, hedged his bets on the milkshake. Both of us left very happy. This place is delicious and I like that the fruit is cut up as you order rather than prepped and sitting there all day. The place is clean and the seating and cone holders fun. I would highly recommend it and while the prices are higher this is definitely a sharing treat or whole meal! In sum, a nice local place (it's not a chain, so tourists please support it like the rest of our independent stores in Cambridge)! It is very instagram-friendly food and because I'm a student I got a discount, so I would remind people to bring their student IDs too! This was my first visit and I would definitely go back for the strawberry banana one! Nom!

    Patisserie Valerie's cakes are always so eye-catching whenever I've walked near their shop windows…read more This one is centrally located around the main shopping areas in town with a spacious dining room inside. We came in midday to finally try a couple of slices and have a drink (out of a bottle if you order soda). I'd had my stomach set on the Strawberry Gateau and my companion ordered a piece of Cheesecake. I liked the soft cake and cream as well as the macadamia nut crumble on mine, but the cheesecake wasn't as nice--a slight soapy taste thus went unfinished. While we were seated swiftly, service was certainly not swift. Similar to a previous reviewer's experience, it took ages to flag down a server for the bill once we were ready to make an exit. The cakes look great, but as this is a chain, they are not made in house so will be sitting out for quite a while to be drooled upon by passersby before being served. If you must come, perhaps a visit to their sister location outside the Grafton would yield better service and quality in the least. 2.5 Stars

    Been to the one in Fitzroy st Cambridge on a few occasions, but never again…read more There were no more than 6 customers, but from the time of ordering it was 20 minutes before we got our coffee. The waitress took our order then came back and told us no almond croissant she then offered an alternative which we accepted, only to come back a few minutes later to tell us that was also not available What a shambles and evidently staff who don't know what they are doing, or don't care
