    A great place to meet up with friends over a cup of coffee, lunch or afternoon tea. Pleasant staff…read morewho have never made me feel rushed and who are willing to assist when asked.

    When I got there I found out it shuts before the advertised time on the web. When I pointed this…read moreout the waitress didn't care a jot even though I pointed out this could be very disappointing for customers coming from out of the area. I have several food intolerances so when asking about the ingredients in their homemade cakes I got a message back via the waitress that she can't guarantee the cakes were free from what I was intolerant to. As people with food intolerances are always ending up having to go without gorgeous food, I asked if I could have more detail of what was in the cakes so I could make a decision on what it was I could or couldn't eat, just in case there was something I could have. This was very obviously an inconvenience to the waitress and the manager who had baked them. She tried again to say she couldn't guarantee anything because obviously this was the quickest way to solve the issue for herself, but after explaining that I'd like to try to see if there was something I could eat, it was again very plain that I was wasting her time. It was late afternoon and they weren't busy, so I would have appreciated a couple of minutes of her time without the attitude. After finding out there was indeed a piece of cake I could eat, I sat down to enjoy it only to be served it with more attitude by the waitress. If she could have got away with grunting at me I sure she would have! I unfortunately had to ask for a pot of hot water as the tea didn't come with one, and AGAIN got a look saying 'are you bothering me again?!'. Cleanliness was also not great with tea-stained table clothes, dying roses on the table, and also dust on the teapot holding the roses which was next to an open sugar bowl which no doubt had the same amount of dust in it! Also, amazingly, a dog walking around the kitchen area with it's bed behind the serving counter!! (Yes, I am about to inform environmental health dept!!) Lastly, my table was being cleared before I had finished. I did notice however, that the other table still in there didn't have their table touched, so I'm guessing that was a touch of nastiness from the waitress also. I was there looking for a place to take 18-20 friends for my birthday which is coming up soon as we fancied a gorgeous afternoon tea, but we will definitely be going somewhere else after that experience!

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.

Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

Letchworth was founded by Ebenezer Howard in 1906, and being a Quaker he forbade alcohol and pubs etc within the city limits. That is not common for Brits - who love their beers and gin and tonics!! So the growth of pubs and licensed premises in the last decade or two has been "refreshing"!! Both Mrs G and I loved this place! On day 1 Mrs G went for a burger which she liked very much indeed, while I opted for the full English breakfast which was excellent! We both had juices (no booze!!) while on day 2 we both took the buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Rare in England and delicious. Service was outstanding, warm and friendly. The whole ambience was wonderful - families, friends, mums and babies groups. Bright, airy, spacious and in the warm weather a beautiful indoor/outdoor experience. Yes of course we will be back next time that we are in Letchworth again!!

Exceptional customer service, a very thoughtful gesture and presented with a smile and a very professional and accommodating attitude. I will always recommend Cultivo Lounge for a casual meal or drinks, any time of day. Thanks Lizzy and Josh. See you again next time.
