It's certainly a bus/car/bike/hot air balloon ride away but i'd say it is worth it for the delicious bread that they have to offer. Their bakery is next door and fyi is not open ona Monday. We went for brunch and I opted for the bacon, egg and halloumi brioche bun which was great. My boyfriend had the big boy brunch board and again enjoyed it. We enjoyed the food but it wasn't exceptional and was a little over priced (£10 And £7). The coffee here is also fine. This isn't due to lack of effort though as they have a good bean supplier and a guest espresso available, but my flat white milk was super bubbly and the coffee was quite underextracted. I really loved the space available and it has plenty of outdoor seating too. Seating is available in the back room with a more working environment as it is very popular with yummy mummies (understandable so with the space for buggies).

The decor is fresh and quaint, and the color scheme is bright and cheerful. The menu is lovely for a full breakfast, tea service, or nibbles . I had a blueberry matcha latte and a pea and edamame mash on toast. The matcha itself was not very high quality, but the blueberry, which was more of a thick compote texture than a syrup (yum!) was delicious when combined. The pea and edamame mash was delicious, the salsa was fresh and the poached egg was the perfect jammy texture. The latte was delicious, I added one pump of vanilla syrup. I was a bit hungry afterwards and treated myself to the raspberry pistachio loaf which was delicious. The sponge itself was well flavored, the bottom being soaked in a jammy raspberry. The frosting was not too sweet, and the crumbled pistachios on top were a great texture addition. The service was simple and lovely, you can order by waiter or by QR code.

I purchased a raspberry pastry, a strawberry tart and a brownie as most others would be a bit messier for a picnic. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised.

The strawberry tart seemed to use custard as opposed to my preferred creme patissiere but was excellent nonetheless. We will be back to give Tom's cake a better try.

Apparently they have stands in major cities, but Cambs holds the best sausage carts in terms of excellent street food. I will admit that the sausages are better than American hot dogs; just imagine a proper English sausage on a bun with a variety of toppings including cheese, grilled onions, and your choice of relish (I prefer the chili). Even if you opt out of extra toppings, tomato sauce with the cheese is fine. Prices are very reasonable, especially when you upgrade to the extra large. It can be quite busy, but the wait is definitely worth it. They have a couple setups in town; I frequent the Grafton Centre location but the one outside of Grand Arcade is also good.

First international review! :)…read more I was visiting Cambridge for a few weeks in August and was really hunting around for a decent coffee place. Am I happy that I found Hot Numbers! Easily the best coffee in Cambridge. This cafe has a few communal tables, and smaller tables in an adjacent room. There are also plugs for computers and free wifi (first hour). I definitely took advantage of this and worked here for a few hours. Their coffee: 5/5. I got a cappuccino here nearly everyday for 2 weeks. It was smooth, properly creamy, and just perfect. Some days I even ordered a second cappuccino -- they were that good! What I especially liked about their coffee is that it's not biter, despite being strong. Food: 5/5! I ordered their granola and yogurt bowl for breakfast (again, nearly everyday for 2 weeks...yeah, I developed an obsession). The granola was nice and crunchy, the yogurt smooth and delicious. The added banana, berries, and honey rounded off a perfect breakfast. If you find yourself in Cambridge, you must make a stop at Hot Numbers for coffee and a bite to eat -- you won't be disappointed!

The claim to fame of the orchard is that Virginia Wolfe wrote in a back room of the tea house. We ordered scones, tea, coffees and a sausage roll. The scones come with clotted cream and a small jam. My wife got the Black Currant Jam and I had the cherry - we both preferred the ones we selected. The serves were very kind and the food was quick! The orchard has canvas and plastic seats scattered about amongst the trees. We found a good table and dried off our chairs. ***pro tip- bring a towel to dry off the chairs as they are usually wet.*** The food was amazing as was the ambiance. There were a few bees buzzing around and some song birds - we really enjoyed this as did the child. Overall, a great experience and I would gladly return.

BUT the fact that the cutlery and crockery were utilitarian and old, the table cloth was on upside down and there was no adornment or additions to the table like flowers, were a disappointment. Our original table was set up outside but due to the wind and chilly weather we asked to be moved inside. The tea room was disappointing. An unused bar, clutter of unused items, and plants in need of some tlc added to the disappointment. Flowers on the tables and music would have gone a long way to improve the ambience of what should have been a special experience for £40 a person. Finally , the bathrooms need an upgrade. Shabby and not too clean.
