Exceptionally friendly staff, a gorgeous menu, a nice slice of Portugal in Cambridgeshire. Amazing ice cream, lush coffee, and a full bar.

Maybe they were short staffed but the service was very slow and it wasn't because the cafe was packed. Other than that they delivered on the proposition of being a basic cafe. Clean and functional. Had a lovely hot cuppa and an omelette that had been cooked to order. The omelette was just that - not even a little bit of salad garnish on the plate. Staff were nice enough but for a quick lunch sort of meal you hope to be served quickly. There were other customers waiting quite a while for their food too.

Really enjoyed an impromptu lunch here. It!s a very v unpretentious cafe with nice coffees and the food is great. Between us we ordered a tuna melt, a Portuguese prawn rissole thing, chips and a pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tart). The chips were fantastic, not greasy at all - I did wonder whether they might even be air fried they were so good. My partner lived in Portugal for some years and the rissole transported her right back there. She also thought the tuna melt top-notch and of COURSE the tart was fab! Prices pretty reasonable too. The tables and chairs outside were being used on this sunny October day, possibly even by some Portuguese expats judging by the little coffees and glasses of iced tea we spotted. (There is Portuguese beer available too we saw on the menu.) This was my second visit - just had a breakfast coffee and v good croissant last time. Judging by the comments I’ve read on here I must try the cooked breakfast next time I think.

Great Portuguese coffee - I had a galao a couple times, and it reminded me so much of Portugal. Also tried a house-made pastel de nata - just like the ones in Lisboa. And the full English breakfast - very nice. Strongly recommended

When we come into England from France we go straight to Portugal - in the shape of A Tasca Café. Always assured of a warm and friendly greeting from Vida, Uri, Magda, Juan and their team. Everything from a full English breakfast to a good Portuguese menu. Always good food and good value. (Plus excellent beer and home made chips!)

Sometimes you just want to have a good, hearty filling breakfast, with a cup of tea, to set you up for the day. Well, this place does that. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. I confess I haven't explored the menu to a great extent, but I have seen other people order and I can attest to the yummy smells as their food passes by. It is unpretentious and traditional with a really friendly team behind the counter - I really like it there and I hope you all do too.

Have been probably 10 times since ive lived here (2 years). Mainly for a fry up. Great grub for the price. Typically you can get a big fry up and a coffee for less than a tenner. Nice potato crisp style chips and nice black pudding.

I had a similar experience with these people where I went for breakfast with a friend with my small dog sat outside to eat, horrendous weather, went to ask if I could bring him (my dog) just inside the door just to be told no dogs allowed, so I payed for the breakfasts that were put into takeaway containers and I won't go here again. Breakfast was mediocre and I prefer The Stable who at least allow you to take your dog in during a downpour.

Stumbled across by chance. A very happy incident. Very unpretentious but authentic and good food in an unpretentious surroundings served by a warm and friendly owners. Very reasonable prices. Well worth visiting particularly if you are into Portuguese food and fish dishes. Portuguese wines and beers too. Long may it prosper

We arrived here at 7pm for dinner. It is an open all day cafe. The menu changes as I understand, daytime it is both English and Portuguese and then the evening is Portuguese only. The food was nice. We ordered a Portuguese stew which was pork and clams and then steak in a mushroom sauce. For dessert we ordered a caramel pudding and rice pudding. The food was well prepared and tasty.

A Tasca is a continental oasis in the heart of Soham. Grab a cold Sangria or Super Bok on tap and chill out in this relaxed cafe/bar. Good, honest English and Portuguese food on offer (the breakfasts are particularly good), and lots of lovely Portuguese treats if you have a sweet tooth. The prices are excellent and the staff are really friendly and welcoming.

This Portuguese cafe is in my home town and I visit it at least once a month. In my opinion this cafe does the best full English breakfast in the area. Excellent coffee and family friendly.

Hace poco nos hemos mudado a Soham y queríamos un regalo hoy, así que fuimos a una Tasca, Dios mío muy educado, amable y muy servicial nos sentimos realmente parte de la comunidad! ! Ambos nos pidió un desayuno inglés completo y fue delicioso, con un café y té de gran valor por su dinero fresco, tostadas y bacon fueron realmente cocido y no anémicos como algunos desayunos hemos tenido en otro lugar. Tenían una fantástica variedad de pasteles deliciosos que buscan, pero después de este gran desayuno nos tanto lleno a reventar. Recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera tener relación calidad-precio, educado y rápido servicio. Sin duda nos volveremos a clientes habituales y que se puede convertir en una tradición el sábado. Gracias de nuevo por hacer que nuestra primera comida en Soham memorable

We live in Cambridge and two days ago we're craving for the traditional and tasty Portuguese food and hospitality. From Cambridge, where we live, it's only 30 minutes drive to "A Tasca" and so we went there, for the first time.

We found this place by searching Tripadvisor in a town not well-served for restaurants. We ended up having dinner and breakfast for three here last weekend. Chose from the Portuguese dishes for dinner and the breakfast menu next morning. All the food was very reasonably priced, perfectly cooked and delicious. The service was relaxed and really friendly and the place spotlessly clean. This is a cafe, not a restaurant, but it is a truly continental cafe deliciously smelling of coffee and pastries. It offers plenty of choice for a three-course dinner with wine and happens to do a great "full english" as well. Recommend A Tasca 100%.

Lovely place. Best coffee in area - served in a cup, not bucket,you can taste coffee rather than coloured water, and its a reasonable price. Great cooked breakfast too. Oh, and the owners are so friendly. An asset to Soham.

I went there probably a year ago as I don't live in Soham or nearby but heard about the restaurant and desperate for Portuguese traditional food couldn't wait to pay them a visit.We were a group of 8 and they also accommodated the dog which was a plus.We had the best Portuguese 'pasteis de bacalhau' (cod fish cakes)- mouthwatering- for starters together with pates and olives. Some of the more traditional dishes require ordering prior to the visit such as ' Bacalhau com natas'- Portuguese cod in crème sauce. I was happy with 'Carne de porco a Alentejana'- a favourite dish of mine which comprises of pork with sauté cubed potatoes, clams and lots of coriander. For dessert the traditional 'Pasteis de nata' and other delicious puddings followed by a good small expresso coffee and a Portuguese Brandy.The service was very good. The restaurant is simple but very clean and the owners very nice and obliging especially the lady owner. As I missed the cremed cod dish I ordered this as a take away for the following day and it was worth every penny.Looking forward to visiting it again soon.

We live in Cambridge but go there sometimes to have a Portuguese bite. They make a delicious dish called "Carne de Porco á Alentejana" which is Fried pork meat with square chips, seashells and pickles. I also love the fish and squid. The owners are really kind, smiling all the time and attentive to our requests and feedback.

Left our rented holiday home in Soham and decided to grab breakfast on the journey but as we were leaving on a lovely sunny morning, saw all of the tables and chairs outside A Tasca restaurant in Soham itself and thought we'd have breakfast there - are we glad we did !.Table service by the Portugese lady owner, extensive breakfast menu and all four adults ordered something different plus tea and coffee. Short wait and wow - what great food, well prepared, excellently presented and quality. The two members of the party who had the scrambled eggs, agreed "Best ever". Very reasonable prices and served with a smile, what a great start to our journey - thank you A Tasca for the fantastic breakfast fair that you serve - hope to return, so if you're in the Soham area, do yourself a favour and breakfast at A Tasca - you won't regret it !
