3 At 3 in East Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a gem; this place is amazing as are the super staff. Beer drinkers heaven with well over 100 to chose from in bottles and cans plus some great draught beers. Come here every year around my birthday and never fail to be made very welcome. Heartily recommend paying this place a visit and its only 150m from Ely Cathedral.

In real mean a hidden gem because hidden in a small alley. Lovely place in lovely city. A really friendly and welcoming staff. Great service with smile. Seating is available inside and outside in terrace overlooking the fields behind the cathedral. Variety of craft beers in bottles and keg to choose from and take home or enjoy here. They also serve the best hot chocolate and coffee. Worth to visit. Happily recommend.

They have the best hot chocolate to warm you up on a chilly day. Friendly staff and a good welcome.

A fantastic little micro brewery .. getting a table here is not easy though due to its size !! But if you do manage its a wonderful afternoon chilling in the sun with a wide range of beers . Staff are all pleasant too . No food options BUT you are able to bring your own.. which is especially welcome when you are here on market day !!! A lot of food choices on stalls nearby that you can bring in !! The hardest thing will be getting your other half to leave!! ENJOY 😉

Friendly modern take on a pub with a lovely informal atmosphere and a diverse range of interesting craft beers. If you like trying different beers seek this place out.

We popped in late on a sunny Thursday afternoon, just warm enough to sit on the sun terrace and I enjoyed a couple of gin n tonic cocktails, my OH samples a couple of beers. They have a great selection of beers etc to drink in or take away, the staff were so lovely & helpful, even gave us tips on where to go for dinner.

Down a narrow alley from the market, this bar is a real find. So many real ales, ciders, gins and other drinks, including hot chocolate and coffees. Outdoor seating. Very popular and busy, you may have to wait for a table, but worth it.

One of the few places that isn’t connected to Greene King (we think) - but apart from the good keg beer choice, the ladies who served us were both polite and accommodating. Couldn’t fault it.

Simply delightful. A lovely relaxed environment. No sports TV, no games machines, no loud music. Just a relaxed wee bar and outside sitting area where you can enjoy fabulous craft beers and ciders or a hot drink. The bar staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Not sure what else to say except this is a really lovely place. Thank you.

We were in Ely to visit the cathedral and came here for an early lunch. Quite well organised re.Covid, but we found the fish rather dry and a little tasteless. A nice place though and we would return to sample something different

We visited today, feeling a bit unsettled as regards to the Coronavirus pandemic, but was greeted by 2 very pleasant ladies and made welcome. There was a very nice seating area outside so decided to have our coffees brought to us there. The coffee was excellent, super hot. The music playing in the background was to our liking and made us feel very relaxed in the current unsettled times. The added bonus was the great selection of craft beers and ciders. Toilet facilities were excellent and to a very high standard. We will definitely return and recommend to friends. Well done to the staff and we wish you every success under the current circumstances.

Usually this little place is a gem of friendlyness with wonderful hot chocolates, great beers from the local counties, and a small selection of tasty food. But on occasional evenings they open up for a beer tasting event and they are excellently run, with a beer-maker talking you through a selection of ales, the processes, a bit of history of their brewery and what is planned for the future. Very enjoyable all round!

Visited this lovely cafe and craft ale bar for the first time when at the recent Ely Beer Festival. The interior and layout is snug but makes for a warm and welcoming visit. Along with this the staff were also attentive and polite. High quality ales from all around the country are available on draft and there’s an incredible selection of local bottled ales to buy. The food menu offers a good range of bar snacks (butties, soups, salads, etc) and it’s a great place to pop in for a quick bite and drink. I’ll certainly revisit when in Ely again.

Our second visit, came in June 2018 & loved it. Returned for drinks at lunchtime. The whole time a lady at the bar was talking to the staff. Not their fault & the staff were delightful. However, it did mar our visit & we spent the whole time listening to her voice. A real shame.

Went here for lunch after the cathedral. Shame I was driving as there were so many beers I'd have enjoyed! I did have a non alcoholic brew and that was tasty. Lunch was great, Fish Finger sandwich was very tasty, full of flavour. Staff very friendly too. Would love to go back again and drink the beer!

I was attracted by the listing in the Good Beer Guide, but it was not obvious which of the beers were cask conditioned as they were all on fonts. I was told that my choice was, but it seemed rather cold and fizzy. I was interesting, but rather expensive. A quirky place with probably more seats outside than in, and with a vast selection of bottled beer. Worth a look, but not a traditional pub.

Very interesting place. A cafe and pub and good range of bottled beer. Not easy to find. Need to go down passageway near Johnson’s cleaners on forehill . Really enjoyable outside terrace. 8 or about tables inside. Choice of 4 beers on the tap. Good quality but certainly at “craft prices”!

Hidden away down an alley between the market and the car park (forehill), this is a little alehouse and coffee shop. There's plenty of outside seating if it's a nice day. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their selection of bottled beers (my companion has coeliac disease so it needed to be GF). We only stopped for a coffee but service was prompt friendly and good; coffees were good too.

All four of us were disappointed with our food, a shame as the coffee was good, although only lukewarm, and the service friendly. There are better places in Ely and this cafe needs to improve.

Came here whilst the girls were shopping. Excellent choice of different beers and ciders served by friendly staff. Can recommend the fruit ciders and the rose wine produced just a few miles away.

A wonderful hidden gem between the Market and Forehill Car Park, lovely outdoor seating and many fine beers from the 3 local counties to sample. Lovely hot chocolate too, and cakes and more... go explore for yourself

An impromptu light lunch lead to me stopping off here recently. I don’t think I made the best choice: pork and egg pie, the accompanying salad was overdressed for my liking - I would normally expect this to be served on the side. There is a good range of alternative dishes in this friendly and clean establishment. The car park off Broad Street is very convenient; walk to the top and 3At3 is at the top of the lane. Alternatively, walk through Three Cups Walk at the top of Fore Hill. It’s worth noting that all parking is free in a Ely though there are restrictions on length of parking, so check the signage.

Pub tienda con mucho encanto y terraza muy chula, variedad de grifo (7) y variedad en frigo, lo malo es que no pone precios, pero es de los mejores de la ciudad

Four of us visited Ely and stopped off for lunch at this eatery come off licence. We were helped by a very knowledgable member of staff on both the menu and drinks selection. The location is just off the main square down a pedestrian alley, we sat outside with a lovely view and soaked up the atmosphere.

We happened across this cafe we don't know Ely at all but came to see the cathedral. Anyway the lunch we had was really nice and the staff were lovely, very friendly. They also sell local beer and cider, an amazing selection. My only criticism would be that we bought a couple of beers to take home and did explain that one of them needed to be gluten free. We went on their advice but when we got home it wasn't in fact gluten free so my partner was a bit disappointed he couldn't drink it. All the more for me but really they should have advised us better. However, I still feel it is a nice place so please go!

We chose this delightful little place to sample the craft beer. The choice is amazing and they also serve lovely gin and specialist tonics. Would highly recommend the bodicea local gin with the elderflower and cucumber tonic. It was so refreshing and gorgeous. We had pork pie baskets and sandwiches. All the food was delicious and our super friendly waitress made our lunch perfect.

A warm welcome and not chocolate! Choices abound for seating areas and food, but when it comes to real ales, or craft beers I believe they’re now labelled, this is heaven. Only popped in for a hot chocolate but came out with, well, a few beers!

Mainly been here for the craft ales and whatnot, a good varied selection. There's also a café. Only stopped here the once for the latter, and it was very quiet. But all in all, one of the many and varied attractions to be enjoyed in good ol' Ely.

Nice little place with out door seating. Great on a sunny day for drinks and snacks. Large selection of beers/ciders as well as specialist gins. Recommended.

Been here many times while living in Ely and always enjoyed my visits . They sell craft keg beer which I enjoy and I use to encourage other people to visit so they could grow the craft beer scene in Ely . Unfortunately I'm very honest and open person and I queried once why they stock to much lager on when they want to be recognised as a craft beer tap room . Well that was it the owner got rude sarcastic and scary on Facebook with me and deleted and blocked my honest open posts . So alas my memory's of this place are not so good , the staff are great and don't reflect my review . If you like English tea house serving high tea coffee cakes nitro coffee and beer your love this place. I've left Ely so maybe my opinion means nothing but I felt I needed to write this review to reflect a fair and open society. If people accept praise then they should be able to take the bad as well god I know I do.

This is a really good place to try,on a sunny day you can sit out in there garden and enjoy a choice of great drinks,Beer/Cidar and of course there lush Pink Gin The food is very good though some may say a-bit pricey but you get what you pay for,my Daughter and I go here on a regular basis and have always enjoyed it.

Walked past several times before but as it was a hot day stopped for a couple of beers and bite to eat, We sat outside and really enjoyed it, Staff were great and beer God and food good, not too pricey. Will return.

Very nice little place, only ever have the hot chocolate when we're here tho my husband speaks very highly of the beer. Lots of different varieties to take away. Dogs welcome in courtyard. Toilets nice and clean. Staff very efficient.

Yes it has a large selection of craft ales all in bottles (maybe 2/3 on tap) but every bottle I picked up to view, the beer came from Norfolk..... How many craft ales do they brew in Norfolk??. Inside was clean and tidy but a bit to sterile for a comfy tasting session.

This is a really cosy, friendly café with a spectacular range of bottled beers. We've not tried much of the food menu, but there's a good range -- from snacks to full on meals -- and the sausage rolls we had were great. It's only just off the main high street, but feels really off the beaten track (certainly in winter). Well worth a visit for a sit down and some refreshment while you're out shopping or, like us, after a long country walk.

Tucked away off the main city walkway a lovely hidden gem, perfect for coffee, cake and lunch, excellent menu and attentive staff.

Popped in for a light bite, was not dissapointed, vegan and vegetarian menu for my colleague, brilliant service, great choice of beers and other drinks, coffee just right too! Will go again, cheery staff, great place, not crowded (was Friday lunchtime) too!

We had a nice lunch at 3 at 3. There is a great drinks selection and I loved the gin and raspberry cocktail!! Loads of beer selection. Food is nice, not a massive choice but we had quesadillas and a panini - both nice, prices not bad either. Overall a very pleasant experience, especially sitting outside on a nice sunny day.

Excellent service, nice garden , greatest espresso, always friendly staff. Nice place to relaxing before work

Four of us visited 3 at 3 on Saturday lunch time it was very busy and we had to wait a short while for a table. Bear in mind there is limited indoor seating and when the sun shines the court yard is very popular. This cafe specialises in an extremely large selection of local craft beers and to ideally accompany the tasting of these they offer a small selection of platters well presented on wooden boards. The service of beers and food was very prompt and the staff were very courteous and knowledgeable. A thoroughly enjoyable experience with friends definitely calls for a revisit to try some more beers.

Stopped here for lunch. Although very busy the staff were very efficient and friendly. The food we had was some good and some average. They have a very good selection of beers and other drinks. Unfortunately the dark beer I chose was icy cold which is not how I like my beer. If I hadn't been with friends I would have returned it. A rather disappointing visit but I will go again as I like the venue.

Visitamos hoy aquí como una familia de 5 con un niño de 8 años y 3. Gemelos de 5 años. Después de ser recibidos calurosamente nos sentamos en el patio y la camarera vino a tomar nuestro pedido. La camarera fue muy amable y servicial, incluso sugiriendo porciones más pequeñas de las cosas en el menú para pequeños y explicando que uno era un poco picante de acompañamiento en el caso de nuestra hija no gusta. Como esperamos comenzó a lluvia y la camarera rápidamente y poner el parasol grande significa que podría quedarse afuera y disfrutar del aire fresco. La comida llegó rápidamente y fue precioso. El menú es sencillo pero con algunos favoritos firmes como rollos de salchichas, sándwiches, huevos escoceses con su propio toque poco a darles algo un poco especial. El menú de cerveza es fantástico y este lugar es una visita obligada para los amantes de la cerveza artesanal. En general es un gran lugar para amigos, familias o parejas que quieran una comida informal o un aperitivo.

Nos quedamos muy contentos de haber encontrado este lugar. Hay una gran selección de cervezas, cócteles y vino y también tienen tés y cafés, etc. El pastel también era delicioso! Hay asientos al aire libre y es un lugar encantador para sentarse y disfrutar del...

Encontré este tesoro escondido de café buscando el desayuno en una mañana de domingo. Pues no desayuno pero podría ofrecer un sándwich de tocino, que llegó en un riquísimo pan gruesos con salsa de bonito. El café era muy bueno.

I found the name of the pub and the location of it quite intriguing and boy am I glad I did! This is the coziest pub! It's very close to the cathedral and the streets surrounding it are cute as well.

Visited on a sunny late afternoon. It has a quiet terrace tucked away, perfect for enjoying a good beer. The service is friendly and efficient without being intrusive. I also had a pannini which arrived promptly and tasted good.

Great place to sit in the sun with coffee and cake the staff are so friendly and helpful this is a little gem at the back of Fore Hill must say the lunches being served looked delicious shame we were short of time. Added bonus is a wonderful little silversmith next door so delightful.

Found this fantastic place tucked down the side of a pub, with a fabulous outdoor area which I noticed they have received an award for. As I was a bit hot, I sat inside which was lovely and cool & enjoyed reading some if the amazing choice of beers & cordials on display. I had cheese & onion quesadillas with a spicy salsa dip, which was perfect for a light lunch.The service was attentive but relaxed, and my server kindly offered the wifi code to use as I was sending pictures of the city from my phone. All in all, a very enjoyable experience which I look forward to repeating soon.

3 at 3 is a lovely little cafe that's just off the beaten track, down a footpath off Fore Hill.When I went to the place a few years ago the indoor seating was problematic. There were a few tables up a very narrow staircase and whilst it was cute it was not accessible and forced people with mobility issues to sit outside. I was delighted to see the problem has been resolved by changing the interior layout and there are now a few tables inside that are perfectly positioned for everyone.Having said all that, one of the nicest things about 3 at 3 is the lovely outdoor seating area. Being off the main shopping area, it's a great place to relax as there is no rush of pedestrians going passed and it's a quiet spot even on a very busy day. Even the wildlife seemed to be chilled out. A pair of birds were on the wall no more than a foot away from me and they simply carried on with what they were doing, with the occasional check to see if I had left them anything!The menu isn't extensive but there is more than enough to entice anyone. I was particularly pleased to see that dietary needs are met by having things like gluten free food as standard. When I enquired about these various options the staff were happy to assist, very polite and friendly.On this occasion we decided to just have a pot of tea and a cake each. Great tea and delicious cake for far less than I expected to pay. It was such good value I even asked to see if anything had been left off the bill. All in all, I'd definitely recommend 3 at 3 on the basis of that visit alone and I've not even mentioned the amazing collection of bottled beers and wines they have. I'm rather looking forward to the warmer weather; a chilled beer outside in the sun and the option to buy a few to take home for later. Roll on summer.

Called in for lunch (you have to look for it as the place is up a little alley near the Market Place. Small inside seating area but plenty of outside terrace seating (not suitable for a cold February day). Food was good and service quick. The notice says there are 140 different bottled beers - would be good to work ones way through them all!

I and my partner have visited 3at3 a few times before, and we've always been impressed with the home made food and the beer selection. We were hoping for a similar experience this lunchtime, and both ordered sausage rolls. The food came out very quickly, but unfortunately both sausage rolls were soggy and greasy, having clearly just been microwaved. This was disappointing, but wouldn't have warranted a bad review by itself. An hour or so later we both started feeling quite sick, a feeling which hasn't quite gone away 5 hours later.Won't be going back again.

Very impressed, we met up with family on holiday to England and found 3@3 perfect for all six of us. Hot tasty food, we all enjoyed different items on the lunch menu. The dipping chocolate experience rounded off the meal for the teenagers.A delightful occasion, relaxed in the upper room with space for us to chat on a damp, January day. Pleasant service - couldn't fault it. We'll be back when next in Ely. Thanks.

We visited this place by chance as we couldn't get afternoon tea at the Almondry. We given a lovely welcome & went upstairs where we had tea & cake. The ladies serving us were so kind & helpful and the cakes were delicious. They also sell alcoholic drinks if you fancy a glass of wine. A nice little place to visit.

Have visited 3 At 3 many times, including during my time off on maternity leave as it seems to be one of the only cafes in Ely that isn't super busy during the week, probably because it isn't a chain cafe and is tucked away. The food menu isn't huge but it is varied and there are plenty of options to choose from including platters and also cake. There is a vast drinks menu including locally brewed beers and ciders which are also available to buy to take home.Only problem I would say is that there are no changing facilities for babies, the staff were very accommodating however and allowed myself and a fellow mum to change our babies in the empty flat above the cafe. On other occasions when it had been quiet we were able to quickly change wet nappies on the floor under the tables outside and no one minded, not sure the same could be said if they were smelly nappies! There is very limited indoor seating and it is mainly outdoor. Obviously the cafe is an old building so there is a limit to what they can do in terms of building work to the cafe.Service is friendly and quick.Worth a visit to try something different.

Visited on many occasions. Sat inside this time as weather was wet and windy. My husband samples a different beer each time, so many to choose from. I love the coffee. The food is good, generous portions and cooked fresh each time. Bacon sandwich and soup today - delicious! Staff are always friendly and chatty. Will keep going back for return visits!

We were greeted by friendly staff but waited 30 mins for our food. After 15 mins I checked and was told another 10 minutes at which point I let them know we weren't happy. They gave us a free drink each for the wait but then we saw a waitress walking back in with a pack of bacon for our order. It seems they ran out hence the wait.The bacon in our sandwiches was awful. It was fatty and stringy but we were too hungry by then so cut out the worst bits. I let the waitress know and got a sheepish "sorry." Wont be going again.

We called into this cafe for a cup of tea and tea cake and sat outside in their lovely terrace. Fast friendly service.

met with a friend for a bite to eat, lovely central position, varied choice of bites to eat, more than a bite if you ere hungry. Lovely selection of beers and ciders along with tea and coffee if you wish. Eat outside (We did) and soak up the atomosphere of the town.

What a fantastic place to dine / relax! We came here one sunny afternoon with our 10 month old and were warmly welcomed. The staff were patient with us and the following service was speedy. The food and drink were second to none, really, really good! I let the server choose me a cider so couldn’t tell you which one it was, except to say it was lovely. They had 110 local ales available on the day we visited. Extremely highly recommended, we cant wait to go back!

A quick lunch and a pint of good beer or a lovely cup of tea. friendly staff good service and the dog can come too.

Walking back to our boat for lunch, we just happened to see a sign in the High St pointing down an ally. Going down the ally there is a tiny patio leading to what appears to be a summer house. As we entered we were handed a clipboard with a menu and list of all the bottle beers they keep. When they found out we just wanted a drink we were invited into the bar and given a tour of all the beers, Then we were asked what type of beer we liked and suggestions were made.What a gem of a place particularly if you are a real ale/craft beer drinker.Whilst we did not eat we could see other peoples food and it all looked good.

Having studied at university in Norwich I have grown to like the wide selections of beer some pubs in Norwich offer. And as anyone knows Norfolk is rich in good quality beers. I came across this place having walked past I a number of times unnoticed. It's very tucked away and quite. They offer a wide selection of beer types straight from the regions breweries, they also have a reasonable wine selection. Have yet to eat a bite to eat. They offer take away beers also which for those looking to enjoy at home.

We've been here a couple of times, great beer selection and good coffee and when the weather is good what is better than sitting in the sun with a refreshing drink?

Not the biggest cafe in Ely but certainly the friendliest. A warm welcome from the very nice ladies running this establishment comes as standard. It is a great place for a quite coffee when you need a break. There is an upstairs area that not many people seem to know about, which makes it the perfect spot to escape from the world for a moment and gather one's thoughts. Also great for catching up on paperwork between business appointments, which is what I mainly use this cafe for and not just because the coffee superb.There is a great selection of local produce from beer to spicy relishes on sale. It may not be cheap but certainly of the highest quality.

4 pages of excellent deli style food and over 10 pages of craft beer, cider and wine on the menu. This is a great place to sit in the sun and relax while enjoying good food and drink. A must place to eat when in Ely.

Went with high expectations and wasn't very impressed.. presentation and taste wasn't great and the service was quite offish.. quite disappointed

Lovely sunny day so stopped in for a drink with my sister. We were both driving so could sadly not take advantage of the amazing list of beer but were very happy with the choice of soft drinks. Great selection of food and the goats cheese tart was really nice. Loved the fact that you could just have a roll with crisps inside - what a great idea between beers! Our waitress was extremely friendly and polite and the service was quick. We sat outside in the sun and would love to come back and try the beer!

We were visiting the food festival in Ely and spotted this place as we walked up to the cathedral, looked cool so we made a stop there on the way back. Have a "very extensive" beer menu and the staff were really helpful with sharing their ideas on the right beers to suit your taste. Outside space is clean and with the birds singing in the trees around its a wonderful place to relax. Top marks!

We popped in for the first time on a sunny Saturday afternoon and genuinely wish we hadn't bothered. Plenty of staff but getting them engaged to take an order was a task in itself. Once ordered, we waited for nearly 30 minutes for drinks alone.Despite offering a children's menu, I wouldn't say this place is suitable for children. My daughters food was served last, despite it being a simple order.In fact, our food order was straight forward snack food. Our coffee was long empty by the time our food had arrived.This place is over priced and just not worth it. Whilst there, other customers left due to the table not being cleared from previous customers. With so many eateries in Ely, I would have expected their standards to be much greater on service and food.

We stumbled upon this little gem while wandering around Ely, and it's definitely a cafe for grown ups. We sat and enjoyed a drink we selected from the hundreds on offer along with a slice of cake in the sunshine, and would definitely recommend a visit. There is a wide range of drinks available and for those that don't want an alcoholic drink, they also serve teas and coffees. A well hidden gem, well worth a visit.

3 at 3 is a good place to stop for lunch. It serves a good range including soups and gluten free. An additional bonus is that you can buy artisan beers in their little off-licence .

Great food, good service, lots of micro brewery beers. Sandwiches, charcuterie, cakes and lots of yummy nibbles.

A bottle shop with a difference. A "menu" with several hundred different bottled artisan beer and cider from a wide selection of different brewers (some local). Good selection of cake, snacks, pies made on the premises and some more substantial eats. Coffee, tea and the rest. A nice change from the normal pub or chain food. Dog friendly patio seating area and an interior that makes the most of a challenging building. Great to see someone doing something a bit different and making it work.

Good selection of local produce including unusual drinks, served with a smile. Outside is lovely in the warmer weather.

Grabbed a sandwich and a cake for a quick work lunch, the sandwich was £6 and really very basic. Add the cake and it took the bill up to nearly £10 for two items. After eating something comparable (albeit far better quality) at Selfridges in London this week and paying far less for the privilege, I can only conclude that this tiny shop in Ely (which is really an off-licence with a couple of snack options) has no way of justifying such sky-high prices.

Abbiamo pranzato in questo posto il primo giorno che ci trovavamo a Ely. Abbiamo preso una zuppa molto molto buona. Locale pulito e personale cortese. Grandissima scelta di birre

Sit outside and sample their menu...our favourite is a cream tea! They even allow well behaved dogs in the garden.

Popped in for lunch and a catch up with a friend - good food, good service. Great simple lunch - definitely will go back.

This place is geat, whether you are wrapped in one of the blankets to keep warm or enjoying the sunshine! I've been a few times just for a drink and cake but the food that's come out looks great.

Just stopped for tea, beer and cake and it was lovely outside in the garden with very friendly staff who gave us recommendations for that evening (excellent ones). Go!

Nice food, nice setting. Reasonably priced. We were slighly plagued by wasps but the staff were making conscious efforts to 'control' them! Would definately visit again

My husband and I were in Ely for the day and we're looking for a snack but I have a Gluten Free diet....... we walked around and all that I was offered was a nasty wrapped sickly cake .......I was about to give up when down a little walkway we found 3at3 a cute place with a lovely garden ... I could have had a piece of homemade cake anything with G/F bread..... I had a delicious cheese and onion toasty but unfortunately couldn't fit in the lovely looking carrot cake they had as I was too full!! There was a super 'normal' menu some unusual soft drinks (ginger beer with chilli) and over 100 special beers!!! The ladies serving were lovely and chatty Pity I don't live nearer I would always be there!!!

We've not found that many places in Ely where we can sit out in the sunshine and enjoy a beer but 3 at 3 provides a good sized space with decent selection of grub and loads of brews.

Make no mistake, the food served in this hidden cafe in Ely is lovely, largely due to the high quality unique ingredients they use throughout the menu. This also extends to the drinks with a great selection of alcoholic and soft drinks you won't find elsewhere in Ely.On the down side I sometimes find the service a little slow, though I do prefer to come here when I am not in hurry, so I can enjoy my time in this great location in the shadow of The Cathedral. I do also find the prices a little steep so best to go for a treat date!Enjoy, I thoroughly recommend you give it a go.

Whilst in Ely for a meeting, we were looking for somewhere to have a light lunch and came across this lovely little find. It was the perfect day for sitting outside in the sunshine, there was a lovely atmosphere, Ely was particularly busy due to the Market, once sat outside in this quaint cafe you felt you were away from the hustle and bustle, a field backs onto the garden and to one side there is a Kitchen shop which isn't open yet and to the other-side there was a wall, so all very peaceful. All the food looked lovely, I had a cheese and onion quesadilla which came with a side salad and was delicious, it was served on a wooden board, which made the presentation so much nicer. They have a license to sell alcohol and they have an enormous range of bottled beers and ciders.

We are strangers to Ely and found a real gem in 3 at 3. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was both attentive and relaxed. We shared a Ploughman's Platter as we only wanted a light lunch. The bread was fresh and plentiful, fantastic Snowdonia Cheddar, lovely tasting tomatoes and pickles and a very thoughtfully provided 'doggy' bag to take the cheese home - we couldn't eat it all! A great range of beers and ciders as well. All the food we saw come out looked amazing. We will return. thank you for a relaxed lunch.

I almost don't want to write a review of this place, in case more people go there. This is one of the best little hidden gems I've ever been too.More beers and ciders than you can shake a such at. Simple lunches that go really well with the beers and ciders. Lovely seating outside, all adds up to something a but special.

Had one of the best paninis I have ever had. It was so tasty and big, served in a basket. Nice seating area away from the shops. Really friendly staff to. Menu looked good, maybe next time

The largest selection of beers and ciders to choose from. Excellent food too at a reasonable price and great service, highly recommended.

From the minute we arrived we were made very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. After our lunch time experience I could understand why this a hidden gem was well frequented. Had super beers, wonderful food, and lots of laughter. Thanks ladies. Will always include your cafe in our trips to Ely.,

This place has lots going for it and over the past year or so it has i believe gone from strength to strength. A wide range of local beers and ciders are on offer including Pickled Pig a local Stretham cider that knocks your socks off. The food is great, quesadilla i recommend as well as the various pies. I love this place when the sun is out, it is a great place to people watch and has fab views of the Cathedral. I often see friends when i call in here also dining of having a drink it has a real cosmopolitan feel but is undoubtedly English. Excellent totally recommend anyone trying this place when visiting Ely.

We visited at the end of day on a very busy bank holiday Monday but were still served two very good smoked salmon bagels. There is a very large selection of local crafted beers and the garden area is a nice sun trap.

This is a very good place to pick up bottles of local real ale, and they do fantastic coffee to boot. The menu is a bit limited, and my children are the pickiest eaters on the planet, so we just stopped for coffee and juice.

The food was lovely. It was nice to have locally produced food and drink. We sat outside and enjoyed our lunch in the sun. This place is a little hidden gem. The only downside was customers being allowed to smoke in the outside eating area.

vast range of ciders to choose from. limited choice of food, but what there is, is very good. if weather had been kinder, we would have eaten outside, which would have been very pleasant.

This cafe is off the main street and hard to find if you didn't already know it's location. I love their panini and salads. It's great to sit outside in the summer with a nice brew. Would recommend,!

Just off Ely's High Street this small cafe style building with an outdoor terrace is a Mecca for beer lovers, especially those who like local and regional beers. It is possible to have coffee and cakes, but most come to chose from the 120 beers available in the beer library. When one of the beers we wanted to try was not in stock, the waitress, without prompting, matched two other selections and brought them to us to choose from.Service was excellent, informative and helpful staff. Not pricey - slight off the beaten track but worth seeking out on 3 Cups Lane.A bit of a find!

We visited based on what others had said On TA. We arrived around 2pm so the place wasn't busy. I had a bottle of coffee stout & L had apple juice ( she's on antibiotics from a serious dog bite but that's a story in itself). We shared a pie platter with home-made relish, Scotch egg etc that did the job perfectly. The beer was great & the proprietress attentive as was her assistant. Would certainly return.It was very a very cold January afternoon so sat indoors but there's seating outside with heaters - blankets can be supplied!

Always been a massive fan of this place and especially in the cold under the heaters on fireworks night. I hired the lovely rustic beamed room upstairs for a surprise birthday party for 15 people and it was simply perfect! Penny created a superb bespoke menu for the group including homemade soup, HUGE sharing platters and the 5 litre beer kegs were fantastic. The staff and organisation rivalled anywhere I have been, where you would no doubt pay twice the price without that personal & friendly service. If your visiting Ely its a real MUST and if your a local then you should be a regular visitor. Looking forward to a local ale on the terrace again very soon!

Interesting mix of deli, bar, cafe. Staff were great. Sitting outside at the end of November with outdoor heaters and blankets provided was brilliant. But the high point? an incredible selection of local bottled ales, all we had were bottle conditioned. Staff new what they were talking about and knew how to serve them. Some in our party also tried the coffee and mulled wine. It was all great. Can't recommend this place too highly!
