Arena Sandwich Bar in Cambridge

19Sep2024 A superb little cafe, with a distinct European feel. It offers a range wide of foods - from wraps to sandwiches, to luxurious cakes, to all-day English breakfasts - at prices which make it an every eatery. A gem of Cambridge.

Tasty, freshly prepared food, generous portions, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

The staff are really friendly, and the food is always reasonably priced and very tasty! Would definitely recommend!!

I had haur in my drinks got the wrong drink ande the Service was really bad

Good breakfast, freshly prepared and hot we appreciated that. The coffee was very good!

I waited nearly an hour for my food (they forgot to make it) and when it arrived it was so greasy it made me throw up

Absolutely incredible! Paid £10 for the avocado and bacon breakfast. And got a generous full portion of delicious homemade food! Looked so good we had people asking what it was we ordered off the menu. Couldn’t recommend this cafe enough!

Friendly staff, very good English breakfast and clean.

Fine for a coffee or light bite, this cafe does need to up its game when surrounded by nice coffee shops and restaurants.

This place is a lovely place to visit. Good food and beverages, ranging from teas to lattes. Everything is bought to your table and they don't scrimp on the portions. The service is great and extremely fast. Well worth a visit.

Very friendly cafe with some yummy breakfast menus here 😋, opposite to Primark cambridge.

My family loves to pop in here when we,re in town lovely reasonably priced food & friendly people

Really nice little place. Food was good. Staff were friendly. I will definitely be coming back :)

Very polite service, and outstanding food and a reasonable price.

Very nice place, lovely food and they were so kid friendly.

We had just coffee, but the best coffee we had while we was in Yarmouth. Thank you.

Good place to lunch while shopping in Cambridge

Great pancakes breakfast i had my hubby said on the whole was really good could use better sausages was not very nice

Great little cafe especially after a good days shopping. Counter service . Excellent food and hot. Good prices. Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely visit again

Food was OK but small portions. Asked to have pancakes as a side order with breakfast but was told not possible. Very close to Grafton centre so always busy.

Great food, great service. I visit regularly

Love this place value for money and good food

I have been 4 times, alone and with friends, the food is always delicious and the service is always fine, not super welcoming but not rude. However I have had 3 desserts from the shelf on 3 different occasions and they never fail to be stale!! It’s so disappointing as they look and sound amazing but the cheesecakes I tried had to be sent back and the flapjack I took away was awful and had the stale aftertaste. None of it is fresh but they will never cover them or throw them away. The rest of the menu is wonderful so I’ll go back but those desserts are upsetting at this point. Great if you want to go on a diet though!!

Food is nice but a coke with a mega breakfast comes with a mega price!!! £14.80 can go to another cafe for nearly half the price for similar breakfast coffee or tea not included.

Always a treat when visiting Grafton! Hidden gem with affordable prices and mouth watering desserts. Exploring everything on the menu with each visit!

We had a lovely breakfast here freshly done at the moment and good ingredients!! I had the Spanish omelette and the full breakfast with a smoked salmon and avocado and drinks !!! They were nice and cosy cafe with lost of variety of options of food and at good prices too!!

Nice coffee and cake slice was nice

My go to for a good breakfast in Cambridge 😁 great food, friendly staff and quick service. They're probably fed up of me by now!

Really nice café! A varied menu with lots of choice for everyone. I absolutely loved the vanilla caramel latte it was almost on par with Tim Hortons’ French vanilla latte they sell. My mozzarella and pesto with peppers panini was really delicious. My only criticism is as an anxiety sufferer I found it uncomfortable the waitresses sort’ve hung around my table, but maybe it’s because the café isn’t the biggest of spaces. Will definitely call in again though 👍🏻

Nice breakfast but ordered another slice of toast and it was £1 a slice .. which I thought was quite a lot..

A little disappointing, customers now have to order and pay at counter first, (before was waitress at table). That is fine if area was bigger to do this, but area is narrow and a throughfare for people getting their food, or passing by to use restroom, sited beside/ near to tables/ people sitting behind you. Nightmare if have shopping bags. Asked for Mega breakfast, was a bit put off by how food was presented, like it was thrown from height. Had mixed juice, usually my favourite, but this time had old musty taste, either from fruit, the glass or straw used. Sorry, but this time not good.

Amazing breakfast for a really good price. Lovely to sit outside and enjoy your food. Would definately reccomend!

Absolutely lovely. Really nice place and friendly staff. The food is amazing! I had a breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice 😋 The quality of the food was 10/10 and the price was good value. Have been quite a few times over the last 2 months with friends and family and been happy everytime. Will definitely be back please never change

Asked for an iced latte and got a frappe with cream on top🤬 apparently this is “how we’ve always done it” but obviously as a new customer I would not know this. Staff were not understanding and I had to fight to get the coffee I had ordered, whilst an extra 4 members of staff stood and watched, smirking. Did change it for me in the end at no extra cost but I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re after a coffee and some polite customer service. Overall the latte was sub par

Decent Breakfast, hot and plentyfull. Full English £6.95. Range of coffee and teas. They also have American breakfast too and smaller options (baked beans on toast).

Not nearly as clean as you would expect. Staff standing around on phones and very cramped inside when seated. Unable to swap breakfast items. Final thoughts.. won't be returning.. will stick with Tatties in the future..

We've going to the Arena, the iced latte is the best in town, the food is great, savoury crepes today yum, the atmosphere is good small and intimate. The service is quick and friendly.its the only place we like to go for lunch now when we are in town.

Nice food ,fresh ,great service . A little on pricey side for me but worth it.

Friendly & efficient staff, efficient good quality food (that mound of bacon was so crispy... nom...), good options, really smooth coffee. Honestly, we did not expect it to be as good from the outside view, and only took a gamble because it was the first place we found and didn't have time to explore more. This place feels like a little secret, that's happy to be unobtrusive with its slightly out of time feel. But lovely all the same, and well worth it.

Very good food at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

A little hidden gem. Very nice cafe with great desserts on offer and very good coffee. Seems unassuming but is lovely inside with nice outdoor seating too. The desserts are awesome, with a really nice mix. Coffee also was excellent, strong. Would recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff

在鬧區的主要街上，走去火車站的路上會看到。主要販售各式各樣三明治，選擇不少，價味頗一般，口味也普通。

Muy caro para la cantidad de relleno que obtienes. 4. 50 para panini que se parece más a una baguette pequeña aplastada. Turquía - brie - arándano es jamón de pavo procesado simple, casi invisible en el 'panini'. Nada que ver con la carne de pavo tal como está escrita en la pizarra.Lo eligió como la opción más cercana ya que estaba lloviendo, pero no volvería allí otra vez. El personal es amable, pero no vale la pena gastar tanto dinero por casi nada. El metro sigue siendo mi opción preferida.

Llamé para el desayuno y pedí su inglés completo para 5. Por el dinero, era bastante flaco, parecía un trozo de tocino, una salchicha barata llena de migas de pan, huevo cocido, champiñones goteando en grasa. ¡Los frijoles eran agradables! El café no estaba lo suficientemente caliente. Un montón de otros lugares para comer por ese dinero. Yo era el único cliente que era una mala señal.

Sirven algunas lindas tartas. Hay asientos de arriba, lo que significa que puede ver la vida pasando por Cambridge en la calle de abajo. La comida parecía recién preparado y abundante. La decoración podría hacer con un poco de actualización, me sentí: pero teníamos una agradable media hora allí. Gracias.

Lugar agradable sandwich con comida fresca y personal amable.Generosas porciones y increíble relación calidad-precio, especialmente para una tienda en el centro de la ciudad.Un poco apretadas si estás comiendo, pero no es normalmente demasiado lleno.Sin duda merece la pena probar su especialidad - hog asado con ensaladas y sándwich ciabata apple sauvage".

Apareció esta tarde para tomar un café rápido para encontrarse con un amigoEl hombre de las escaleras dijo que podría subir las escaleras y que me levantaría, tuvimos un poco de esperaSubió y las mesas no habían sido despejadasEl área olía a grasaAdministrar para encontrar uno cerca de la ventanaCafé como buenoPero no volveré ni recomendaría este sándwich bar

Lugar hurrendous no visita! !Pedimos un panini y llegó con un lado de ensalada y un insecto muerto. Tras informar el camarero tomó la placa y regresar 10 minutos después con la misma panini, una nueva ensalada con algunas hojas muertas rocket antiestética pila encima.Para un chocante 10 libras. 45 nos dejaron muy enfadado y me sentí enfermo!

Necesitábamos un lugar en la zona para reunirse con miembros de la familia antes de ir a explorar. Buena ubicación justo enfrente de Pizza Hut, a 10 minutos a pie del aparcamiento de varias plantas, mucho más barato que el aparcamiento del centro de la ciudad.Menú parece extenso. Pedí huevos y patatas fritas; 50 - 3 libras eran de más huevos cocidos, arrugado y sin sabor. Patatas fritas podrían haber sido calentado aviones mcdonalds izquierda. Por desgracia muy pobre. Una buena taza de té. Mis clientes tenía crepes 5 libras; 50 y 6 libras: 50 - caro para lo que era, pero al menos eran sabrosos.Mesas demasiado pequeña para acomodar a más de dos personas, lo siento, no pensamos volver

He visitado este sandwich bar dos veces. La primera vez que el sándwich era agresivamente bañados con tanta mostaza que no podía hablar y tenía que beber un litro de agua, pero asumí que esto era simplemente un error cuando fue sugerido por un amigo diferente no vi ningún motivo para no volver.Sin embargo, el segundo tiempo, tras ordenar un queso de cabra y ajo salchichas pancake (que sonaba bastante bien), me encontré esperando al menos 30 minutos se plantó en una zona estrecha. El hombre llegó y anunció el queso y jamón pancake"", que no responden a, ya que no era lo que había pedido. Él entonces procedió a punto en mí y decir "Venga, esto es tuyo? "y cuando le dije que no, que la otra persona detrás del mostrador convino conmigo que yo había pedido la salchicha de ajo. En este punto, el hombre dijo "Ajo de salchichas. . . Err sí, eso es lo que es. . . "y insistió en que el pancake era mío y que tome. Después de esperar durante media hora, no espere mas tiempo, así que llevé (era de hecho queso, jamón y tomate), aunque no puedo decir que fue agradable y tibia empalagosas. Arruinó lo que podría haber sido tan fácilmente una buena oportunidad almuerzo

Mi pareja y yo fuimos al bar Arena para 'RÁPIDO' para llevar. brunch Nos lo habían recomendado por un amigo y estaba vacío, así que nos pareció que la comida sería muy rápido. Pedimos dos batidos diferentes, un asado y verduras mezcladas crepe crepe de frutas una. Los precios no son baratos pero razonable si la comida era buena. Después se sirve de dos del mismo batido "mixta berry" (lo que en realidad sólo fresas y posiblemente apple) que procedió a sentarse batido por aproximadamente media hora mientras el personal que sea necesario más barrió el piso, papeles plegados y se sirve el sándwich, algunos clientes que venía. Después de decidir que el personal se ha olvidado de nuestra orden de comida que pedimos. Las crepes habían hecho olvidado y dos miembros del personal procedió a discutir sobre a quién fue destinado a ser ellos cocinar directamente en frente de nosotros. Nos dijeron que el crepe de frutas no era mixta actualmente disponibles, lo que se tradujo en que mi pareja tenía que elegir tres pasteles pequeños para su almuerzo y reembolsará la £2. 50 diferencia de precio. Mientras mi compañero comió su mini-pasteles, esperamos más de 15 minutos para mi asado crepes de verduras. Durante esta espera un miembro de personal nervioso intentó obligar a Coca-Cola Light con nosotros para disculparse por la espera. Por desgracia, ninguno de nosotros como Coca-Cola Light y otras bebidas frías no parecen ser ofertados. Después de recibir mi crepe que finalmente tuvimos que recordar al personal nuevo que me quería para llevar (por esta vez habíamos terminado nuestros batidos y la mayoría de los mini-pasteles). Para ser sinceros, también nos dieron otras dos mini-pasteles en mi bolsa para llevar gratis para compensarnos por la espera (tantos bollos! ). Una vez que empezamos a comer mi crepe resultó 'verduras asadas' era simplemente pimientos y tomates - no a la vista de cebolla o berenjena! Sin embargo, toda la comida y la bebida que comimos era delicioso, aunque no necesariamente lo que originalmente ordenados! No volveremos, pero si te apetece una espera tranquilo y divertido para algunos alimentos sorprendente este sitio es perfecto.
