I was pleasantly surprised to find a place serving reasonable priced food in the centre of the tourist area. The starter I had was great value for money. I would come back for the food, but not for the coffee, which didn't taste great.

It was okay overall. I felt like the breakfast choices could have been better - the avocado on toast and scrabled eggs were a let down. No flavour, no salt .. and the presentation could do with a bit of inspiration. I would not return to be honest unless improvements were made.

Whet in today for lunch. Ordered the spinach & Ricotta ravioli. The sauce was watery. I think they had forgotten to drain it before plating it up. Well what it I expect for £14.50 😱

simple food, like at home. better than in fast food-like places like Cafe Nero, but I lacked creativity and elaboration on the meals. Mine was just oat flakes with yogurt and fruit, and they were not even overnight. My friend ordered eggs with Turkish sausage, though it seemed like usual sausage to me. Good, they added some veggies, some bread and butter. So, nothing special, but within the price, so that's OK. the service was good, the place was calm on Monday morning.

This Cafe is Famous in Cambridge and beyond it is very popular, the Food and Service is good and it is competitively priced. Tourists visiting Cambridge seem to make this one of their must visit places. But beware! This Cafe has an unusual policy and notices on the tables stating (We Prefer you to Pay in Cash) so be prepared. Other than that, it is well worth a visit.

My usual haunt upon returning to Cambridge. Great view and atmosphere, not rushing it and availing all sorts of special dishes satisfying special needs re diets and allergies. A little bit pricy but OK, you also pay for the place and at least they don't rush you out like a cash-cow without being asked for the bill. So it is quite relaxed and breakfast all day long.

Good view, bad mushrooms View: great (of King's College). Cappuccino: strong, hot, foamy. I had the veggie breakfast with gluten free toast. Existence of gluten free toast: Thumbs up. But: Mushrooms inedible; tasteless, tepid and out of a tin. Tomato: watery and cold. Scrambled eggs: OK. Baked beans: a lot, in a separate dish, jist the right temperature. Avocado: pre-crushed. The mushrooms and tomato very disappointing for the price.

We ordered coffee and water for drinks. We ordered a Turkish breakfast and the Healthy Body waffles but substituted strawberries for bananas. The food arrived in an appropriate amount of time.

Extremely disappointing and poor value for money. I ordered the Turkish breakfast and for £13.50 I received 2 fried eggs and tiny portions of vegetables that I could have cut myself, presented terribly. I knew this place was a bit of a tourist trap but I didn’t know it was to this degree. Service was also the total bare minimum and yet they add a 10% surcharge. I do not recommend coming here; much better places in Cambridge that serve better food for less money.

We loved the view over Kings opposite and left feeling well fed and very satisfied. A charming place with great food and great service.

Always loved this place. Situated at the heart of Cambridge, just opposite to King's College, it offers food at a very reasonable price. Service was great and as usual food was awesome. Best part of it all is to absorb the Cambridge life while having your lunch just beside the window or sitting outside.

Nice food at a reasonable price scrambled egg and salmon for £12.90 I would have expected two slices of toast. There is an optional service charge of 10% which is optional on their behalf because they decided to charge it without running the decision by me. If given the choice I would have paid it but they need to learn the difference between ‘optional’ and ‘compulsory’.

We ordered our food, sweet chilli halloumi wrap and chips and a ricotta and spinach ravioli and some drinks. Drinks arrived in good time but when the food arrived, disappointed was an understatement, tiny amount of ravioli for £14.20. The wrap didn’t have any sweet chilli and when challenged was asked to show them it was missing, then brought out for my wife to add herself. It then started to rain as we were eating outside, I asked if they could open up the umbrella behind us which they agreed but waited minutes for then as our food was being rained on so took it upon myself to action before they finally came out to help This customer service was poor, didn’t ask how the food was or bring the water we’d asked for, for our dog. I believe they trade on the location and don’t really care about the dining experience of their customers. Would not visit again.

Nice, clean and a bit aristocratic looking/atmosphere. Very inviting when you walk by and looking in. Lamb shank very nice and tasty. Lentil soup good. Lamb kebabs to dry. No juice or sauce to compliment the dish. Pistachio Baklava. Well one was good but one was completely empty inside just a hollow tube ? So why only two stars ? First thing you notice after signing down there is a little note on each table informing the costumer the electronic payment system is not working all the time and bla bla bla. We counted our cash and sorry but we did not have enough to cover an evenings dinner. Well. No problem the server notified us. The electronic system WoW was working again. Hurray…, On the menu it is written that a 10% service chat is added to all recipes but is voluntary. And was again mentioned when the bill came. This is the first time in all our travels in this beautiful country England that we have encountered this little detail and we think it is a little dirty trick. You feel bad for some reason when you receive the check and already the 10% is added to the total even if it says Opt. ( I assumed that means optional) We were there on a Saturday night just after 8. Most restaurants are busy then. Not this one. I’m wondering if those two little discussions may have kept the crowd away ?? Hugs …

When you see on the breakfast menu smashed avocado on toast £8 and under it says add fried egg or scrambled egg +£1 so total £9 you thinking at least you going to get something to have breakfast. How much is cost this. 1egg half avocado and two small slice bread. I am not going to put that picture in here. We got 2 of that, 2 veg breakfast and 4 coffees. Total £78 bill came. I can bet it does not cost more than £8. Extremely expensive when you see what you get.

Went for breakfast on a weekday, chose this cafe primarily for the view. Food was good, although a little pricey and the staff professional but not particularly attentive. Be aware, as others have said, the 'optional' service charge is automatically added to the total and if you pay at the desk without being presented with the bill it will be added without being asked. It is on the menu but usually 'optional' and 'discretionary' would mean you are given the choice and usually only applies to large groups for dinner service. I don't mind tipping but would prefer the option.

It's located right in the middle of the kings parade, next to the old school and kings college chapel. The biggest advantage of having food here is you can enjoy the location especially kings college and just watch people. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. However outdoor seating is just a small table for 2 people. They do different foods. We tried their chicken wrap which was good, but could have been better by including more salad stuff. Overall it's a good place to eat and the service is good.
