Agora @ The Copper Kettle in Cambridge

Not the cheapest place but lovely food, I sat here for a couple of hours while my mum attended the church service and they did not try to rush me out. I enjoyed the hash browns and hummous which were very tasty.

Real Turkish coffee; excellent baklava.

I went for breakfast on a Saturday. The staff are very friendly and the service was quick. Unfortunately, the full english breakfast that I ordered was underwhelming, it wasn't terrible but was really basic. It was similar to what you would expect from a cafe but more expensive. A friend at the table ordered smashed advocado with bacon on toast and that looked a lot nicer and was seasoned. So, overall it wasn't a negative experience but I suggest you don't order the full english if you are going for breakfast.

Loved it !! Really great food and friendly place with Kings College a back drop x

Excellent meal and very pleasant and friendly staff. It will definitely be one of our favourite places when we visit Cambridge again.

Good fare and a good environment. Relaxed, clean, and a whole wall of photos of famous customers.

Was recommended to go here for scones. Very nice place, service good & staff friendly.

We had lunch here on the day we visited Cambridge University. There are many photos hanging on the wall, it seems like celebrities are visiting? Food is ok.

A bit slow service. My coffee has bee delivered after 15 minutes and it wasn't hot.

Good atmosphere and staffs are friendly behaviour.

Cozy, nice food, friendly, efficient staff, my order was ready in just minutes. I appreciate a lot the vegan breakfast option.

I love Turkish breakfast places. There are loads of them in Greater London. This one in Cambridge is in a prime location and very well set up. However the food is probably the worst I have ever had in similar places in the UK. The prices are premium , but what they give you is cheap as chips. I had their version of Turkish breakfast. It included cucumber slices (cut many hours before and dry), dirt cheap plum cherry tomatoes, low quality Turkish feta cheese, cheddar cheese, egg and 4-5 bits of sudjuk - beef sausage. £13 or so for this. I'd say the value of the ingredients is around £3. Very disappointed with it, won't go there again despite the decent coffee and service. I suggest the owner pays a visit to some of the London Turkish breakfast places and see what they offer to their customers.

Called in for a cup of tea, and had a slice of millionaires shortbread to help it down. Great location in Cambridge. Food on other tables looked good.

Lovely cafe. Had a great full English breakfast. Staff very friendly and welcoming

The Copper Kettle in Cambridge is a delightful place for a relaxed meal with a perfect view of one of the city's famous colleges. Its large windows allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The setting feels both casual and elegant, making it ideal for breakfast, a casual tea break, or a light Mediterranean-inspired meal. We visited for breakfast and tea before embarking on another walk around the beautiful city, and it was an excellent start to the day. The menu offers a nice variety of Mediterranean dishes, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. The breakfast selection was particularly good, with options that cater to both traditional and more adventurous tastes. We enjoyed our tea as well, served in a relaxed manner that allowed us to linger and enjoy the lovely view of the college across the street. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even more pleasant. The staff ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed without any rush, making it easy to enjoy the moment. The cafe's location is perfect for anyone looking to take in the sights of Cambridge, as it is situated in a bustling area that is still peaceful enough for a quiet meal. Overall, The Copper Kettle is a wonderful spot for anyone visiting Cambridge, especially if you're looking for a charming, light-filled space to enjoy a leisurely meal. Highly recommended!

A five-star place. We visited The Copper Kettle several times, mainly for lunch, during our recent stay in Cambridge and enjoyed the food, friendly service, and the central location of the restaurant every time.

Popped in for lunch, we both had beautifully cooked full English breakfasts & a side of hash brown puffs. 5* food, lovely customer service & atmosphere spot on

Very tasty! Nice atmosphere and kind staff Thank you 🙏🏻

Refused to give us a table by the window even though it was empty - poor behaviour of the staff as well. Wouldn’t recommend it to the tourists. There are much better places around King’s Parade and city centre. Edit (in response to their reply): Your version sugarcoats reality. Our table change request was rudely rejected, leaving us stuck at a wobbly corner table. From start to finish, the experience was underwhelming.

10/10 quick service and leng food would go again, hash browns were unreal and sausages were leng leng, marmalade was a solid 9/10

One of the few places that open early on a Saturday morning! Nice little outfit; decent breakfast. Had the avocado toast. Good value too!

A fantastic little place with a view of Kings College Chapel.... A great place to take a moment and relax. Good food, tea, coffee and friendly staff.

This little gem is my favourite go to place. The staff alone make me look forward to going back. This evening sitting outside in the sun enjoying a couple of glasses of wine and great food was really what it's all about. Highly recommend it

The halloumi fries are SO good!

Excellent service, very accomadating. Order taken quickly, food came quickly. Nice, comfortable outdoor seating also. Food was great. Spot on.

Always busy, always good food and service

Very slow service. Poor-quality food - industrially made scone, nasty, cheap, jelly-like jam. Not clotted cream. Very bad value for money, extremely disappointing. £17 for a tea, 2 coffees and an unpleasant scone with sub-par cream and jam. Gorgeous spot outside, right on King’s Parade, but not worth eating here.

Very good restaurant with excellent food!!!

We all enjoyed our meals. Probably best to eat inside on a hot day

This restaurant located near the Cambridge university has a review that is way different than my expectations. The food we ordered, which is Sirloin steak and CK burger has a price that didn’t match both the quality and quantity. The CK burger cost 15 pounds and all it serves is 2 thick bread, some lettuce pieces and a fried beef thin as paper. The taste overall is mediocre, a burger that can easily be made from a culinary newbie. The steak cost 24 pounds but it feels dry and coarse. The taste is mediocre still, with a bare salty. It mostlybecause it doesn’t deserve the price. However, the service is awesome and the atmosphere, as long as it is not rain or having a thunderstorm, is awesome, with breeze blowing, and some sunshine spread out on your back, best atmosphere ever

I've been here many times over the years for breakfast but yesterday was the first time post COVID. It's pretty much the same standard of service and atmosphere. We were served surprisingly quickly. What let it down was the sausages which seemed to be the cheap, tasteless, mostly breadcrumbs, variety.

Feels like they really didn’t care anymore about the food they were serving. Bland, unimaginative and way overpriced. Best thing on the plate were the beans which came out of a can. Seems like it was once good but then they just lost the passion and got lazy. Definitely not worth it for the price. Staff were friendly and location is beautiful though.

The food is not tasty, the sausage is the cheapest, the prices are not for the quality of the food.

We only asked for 2 teas but along came a pot of tea, we could have had 6 cups out of that and it was only £7 in the tourists centre of the city

Excellent food, both the English breakfast and the burgers. Good prices, helpful staff and pleasant atmosphere.

They ordered me the wrong food and very bad service attitude.

I found the staff to be rather unpleasant and unprofessional. Try to charge me £3.60p for a tea to take away. Charge you same price as you pay for pot of tea.

A sweet business operating in the most beautiful part of Cambridge city..

Good food served by friendly staff. Thanks

So good the service is quick and there are very good staff

We ate really good ham and wraps with a nice Black Sheeps beer. They are kind and helpful, we recommend them to everyone in the center of Cambridge.

A nice place, with a normally fine view. Very good food, the portions are big enough to make you feel full. The prices are ok, the staff friendly and very quick. Good we can pay in cash too.

Only had a drink here but managed to grab an outside table in the shade (hot day) and enjoyed people watching. Good views facing Kings College (and currently a protest camp) Food menu looked good and inside there is a gallery of famous people who have visited.

Very nice attentive staff. Food for four of us was very nice. For our family this was a return visit, and once again, really enjoyed their mousaka.

This is definitely not a complaint but our server didn't know what toast is and that was the most interesting part of our dining experience. Service was otherwise good, the food pretty decent as well. It was a bit crowded and noisy when we visited but we were seated immediately.

This café has a good location in the heart of Cambridge looking out onto Kings College. There was good table service and we enjoyed a much needed sit down with good quality coffee. The prices were reasonable and I’m pleased to say they preferred cash.

Went 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 😱

Only had coffee which was of a high standard. It was early and not too busy so able to sit for a fair time. Last time we had food it was very good.

Good place, good food and loads of space inside.

The staff were keen to get us in and sat down, and took our order quickly. But then waited and waited, seeing tables arriving after us all getting their food. We had to ask another server twice for someone to check our food. Eventually, that different server brought the food out, but with a very half-hearted "sorry, my colleague forgot to put the order in." I don't blame someone for forgetting. These things happen. But the service afterwards was certainly lacking and kind of professional customer service, There was plenty of staff working, and our original server didn't even come over to apologise to us or even check on us. I don't think I'd be back next time I visit Cambridge.

ordered avocado on toast with extra egg. For 10 pounds i get 1 pies of toast with black avocado and 2 eggs. It was absolutely terrible , left caffe hungry. don't recommend to anyone. There is a lot better places in Cambridge. Never again

Goooood, the appetizers and lamb main are recommended. There was special price for 2 and 3 vourses meal too that was a really good deal. Will come back when I visit Cambridge. Tap water was sweet and refreshing. Service was great. The place is famous and packed so better make an appointment first. Halal

Did lunch here and had the two course special (I chose red lentil soup and chicken curry) for 20. The soup was more cream style (I prefer whole lentils), but was decent. Curry was also decent. Overall the food was fine, just not great. Good wine selection for a Mediterranean restaurant. Location is superb, as was the staff - but service was exceptionally slow. Lots of tourists here and in area. Lots of outdoor seating. Affordable for a tourist area. Would visit here again on a sunnier day for lunch outside if I knew I didn’t need to get away quickly.

I went with my family to visit Cambridge for the day and we ate here. Food was simple and enjoyable. We had the two course meal and were allowed to pick and choose how we wanted the 2 course meal e.g., starter and main or main and dessert. They also had 3 course meal. We had avocado & prawn cocktail, chicken curry with rice, lemon tart and strawberry cheesecake.

Very nice small restaurant overlooking King's College. Has almost a deli feel to it. Food was great and good value. I had salt and pepper squid followed by lamb moussaka and the finished with a very nice cherry tart with ice cream, three course deal for £25.50. Nice portions, food presented well and very attentive, friendly but not overwhelming service. Would definitely recommend for those looking for less formal dining in cafe/restaurant style.

Located in central Cambridge. Great view of King's College. Food ok. Lots of indoor and some outdoor seating. Staff are helpful. Clean toilets!

Fabulous breakfast in a top location opposite Kings College. The breakfast menu was really extensive with vegan / vegetarian options and middle eastern twist. Fabulous Salmon and scrambled eggs. Great Coffee and Tea choice. Americano was top notch. Free cold water carafe and excellent attentive service. Good vibe. Excellent pastry choice too. Lunch and afternoon tea and snacks menu also very good. Of course very clean.Highly recommend.

Went here for breakfast. Highly recommend

Excellent food, excellent attention for the staff and the owner. Every tiene I go to Cambridge I go to the Cooper Kettle.

My brother from Diyarbakır, your service and smiling face are wonderful. Excellent service, friendly welcome, delicious tastes, even words are little compared to the service provided.

Try the Turkish Breakfast. A great start to the day.

Tasty Turkish food, friendly and prompt service & excellent value for money. Yakut wine was top notch too.

Have a morning coffee looking at the wonderful view of Kings College. What's not to like?

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.

Nice café with light eats and warm drinks. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

Iconic Cambridge restaurant situated opposite King's College. Delicious turkish and English food.

Not really differentiating from college brunches on the weekends... It's okay to enjoy sightseeing at the King's Chapel while having your breakfast.

Friendly service and nice coffee, lovely views

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.

Had brunch, but portions not very large.

Lovely place, great staff- will definitely be returning!

Great coffee experience, thank you.

Very tasty full English and my sister enjoyed the vegan breakfasts.

Always outstanding food with fantastic service.

Really nice lunch - I had the chicken kebab from the specials board.

Came here for afternoon tea a few times. Service was swift and staff were friendly. Highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake and the cappuccino was delicious! Edit: came back for lunch. Yogurt kebab was really nice and so was the hot chocolate :)

Fabulous location. Heart of the town. Taste of Türkiye. Great dishes 😋 👌 ESPECIALLY MUSAKKA 😋

Not been here for many years but still excellent.

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.

Easy to locate and a fine location for a quick bite.

Came for a tea break on the weekend. Great location near King's college. The place was pretty full so we had to sit at the back - the vibe up front esp by the windows are much nicer. We had scones which were nice and moist enough with clotted cream and jam. Felt the jam was not enough for the scone which came in a good size).

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.

The breakfast bap is just right and the coffee delicious

Good spot for brunch. Lots of seating. The food was great!

Great breakfast choice, lovely location. From the moment we walked through the door staff were attentive and made us feel welcome. Would recommend.

I just had the worst service at this place shame for the price you pay, I won’t come back again and definitely don’t recommend!

Have been visiting the C K from over 40 years and it never fails to deliver.

A perfect spot for breakfast/brunch. It was quiet the morning I went, it was a Tuesday. We sat in the front window and watched the cycles go by headed to work. Service was good, no complaints. 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. There wasn’t a rush to finish. We enjoyed the view and the food. We will definitely be back again.

Great service, halal food, fantastic location

Had dinner this evening with 13 year old grandson. Never visited before today. Excellent choice of food and a pleasant relaxed restaurant atmosphere. Wait staff very attentive without being the least bit obsequious. We had the burger, the chickpea casserole and my grandson a wrap and fries. Deserts were very very good especially the cherry crumble tart. Will go there again for sure.

Popped in for desserts, not disappointed. Lemon tart, brownie, ice cream, coffee, all were really good and very friendly service as well.

Visited with my Wife as this was the venue that her Dad used to take her Mum when he was studying at Cambridge back jn the 1940's. Lovely food. Great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Fabulous place! Seven of us had an early dinner there last Saturday. The location is perfect - opposite Kings College, near the shops and theatre. Service is 1st class, Bev made us feel so welcome. The food is exceptional. I had prawn cocktail and then lamb with salad and rice, too full for a wonderful dessert I’m afraid. Would highly recommend.

Langweilige, überteuerte Gerichte für Vegetarier. Wir hatten den Hummus und Falafel Wrap und den Drei Käse Salat. Beides sehr fade, wenig Hummus im Wrap, kein vernünftiges Salatdressing… Schade! Service war aber aufmerksam und freundlich.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely will return.

The red lentil soup was so tasty. And to follow, the Moussaka was perfect. Revived me superbly while exploring the Colleges.

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.

I order a flat white and got a bit of dirty water with froth milk. Perhaps the worst “coffee” I’ve had in years.
