Cafe Au Chocolat in Cambridge

Great coffee and wonderful crepes - huge range of sweet and savoury flavours. Service was fast and friendly and prices were reasonable for central Cambridge. Only down side - please lose the dreadful music playing in the background continually! It was some kind of whiny eastern music. Better to have no music at all, or at least something french!

I have reviewed this place before and gave it a very good review. However, I just wanted to add in a note re the background music. I didn't used to be particularly aware of it, but on my last 2 visits, it seemed louder and more intrusive. I wonder if others have found the same thing? It has rather put me off going, for the time being at least, which is a great shame, as apart from that, it's a wonderful continental style cafe to eat/drink in.

Ottimo: veramente una buona scelta! Mia moglie ed io eravamo alla ricerca di un baruccio dove gustare un sandwich e così siamo capitati in questo locale, ordinato e pulito, con un menù completo, dal dolce al salato. Scegliamo due cre'pes, una Marina (crema di formaggio, salmone affumicato, spinaci e insalata) e una Croque Madame (uova, prosciutto e crema di formaggio). Le cre'pes, grandi e sottili, di grano saraceno, sono davvero molto buone. Acqua minerale e ginger beer come bevande e conto: 28 pounds. Davvero un bel posto, dove fare uno spuntino a prezzi modici: brave!

We visited today due to the generousity of the owners donating a prize to a local event that we won. The crepes were devine and tasty and the service was good on a busy afternoon.

I have been here several times, both on my own or with friends. The coffee is excellent (I tend to go for the Flat white), the various brownies all look delicious and the ones I and friends have tried have all been great. I have also had a crepe lunch on about 3 occasions and as another reviewer mentions, the savoury option, which comes with a side salad, is very substantial and I found I didn't feel hungry again for the rest of the day. Just to note also, buckwheat flour (Gluten free) is used in the savoury crepes. The staff are very friendly and polite and I love the relaxed atmosphere - obviously French in vibe, but with staff who include Ukrainian and Polish, there is a real multi cultural/continental feel about this cafe. (The Stamford cafe is equally as good.)

This place is a delight - very friendly staff and we had a superb cheese and tomatoe crepe . What made it for me was the great background music too

They accept card, I didn't ask about cash. Wonderful selection of Gluten-free options. I am a suckered for hot chocolate and it was made with real cacao. The drinks came out and you can elect to get the hot chocolate with or without whip and marshmellows (additional cost). I got the Pear Blue crepe and my friend the Mexican crepe. The flavors were masterfully done without one ingredient overpowering the others. I got the Orangeytang hot chocolate and it was absolutely wonderful. I for sure am going back!

Had the special today which was a savoury croissant, I chose Brie it was yummy. Great coffee & hot chocolate and a wide range of crepe were available.
