Cafe Blue Sage in Cambridge

The nicest people, the perfect coffee

Delicious comfort food with amazing service. Small but cozy space. Cannot recommend enough.

Absolutely delicious breakfast, desserts, coffee, everything! I wish I still lived in Cambridge so I could go to Blue Sage more often.

Great food and coffee. Has limited seating, so it can get busy, especially given how nice it is!

Great little place offering Turkish breakfast options and it is walking distance to city centre. We have tried their blue sage special breakfast which was a great interpretation of a traditional Turkish breakfast. Everything we got on the plate was delicious and fresh. The bread that was served with the breakfast was also very tasty. The service was very kind and friendly as well, would definitely visit again.

My father had a turkish cypriot friend growing up, and he and his wife cooked the most amazing food. So I sat there this morning, eating some of the best food I've had since moving to Cambridge, feeling wistful at how reminiscent it was to the flavours of my childhood. The food here is truly exceptional - clearly this is a small family-owned business and the food reflects that - this, as far as I am concerned, is the real deal. I will be back!

Lovely cafe with great decor in cosy inside space and outside seating for people hardier than me. Nice coffee, nice people ☺️ (Did not have food but it looks good. The people next to me have some impressive shakshouka and I'm going to leave before I have to buy the Pogaca pastry with feta cheese inside and pumpkin seeds on the outside that is staring at me ... 🤤)

Amazing baklava-cheese cake! and I learned that is a new invention by the owner.

A very cozy cafe with delicious cakes baked by the owners. wonderful atmosphere

Lovely staff and even lovelier food!

Small but excellent cafe. Tasty panini and good coffee.

A very lovely café on Mill Street. Amazing atmosphere with beautiful music, very delicious food and wonderful friendly service. We‘ll definitely come back if we are in the area again.

A gorgeous cafe! Lovely authentic atmosphere, friendly service and most importantly, delicious food! Thanks to this cafe I learned that I love sucuk sausage!!!

Great little cafe with friendly and efficient service. Lots of lovely food options. We tried two of the breakfast options: quick prep and very good with perfect portion size. Good value for money. Accepts credit/debit card payments: Amex, Mastercard and Visa. Parking may be an issue, it is situated on a street with many other shops and restaurants, we had to find a side street. The cafe is also quite small - it was quite busy so we were lucky to get the last table.

Stopped in for coffee, service was friendly. Coffee was above average. Very hygienic. I appreciated that they rinsed my personal mug out with hot water before putting fresh coffee in it.

The friendliest service and absolutely delicious

Breakfast with beef sausage and San Sebastian were tasty!

Delicious! Always a good option in Mill Rd!

I sometimes hit this place up for breakfast and each time I wonder why I don't go more often. There menemen is exceptionally good. Highly recommended!

I love this place, best food in Cam :)

"With delicious breakfast options and a warm atmosphere, this café is the perfect place to start your day. Indulge in the delightful flavors that will linger on your palate, especially their remarkable coffees that deserve a special mention!"

Fresh and delicious homemade food. Very good coffee. Friendly staff. Small but nice atmosphere. Thank you!

Excellent Turkish breakfast & coffee

Lovely cafe but it is a bit small so you may be waiting for a while for a table

I recently had the Mediterranean breakfast at Cafe Blue Sage, and it was fantastic! The food was not only delicious but also had an authentic touch that made it stand out. The coffee was superb, complementing the breakfast perfectly. The cozy atmosphere of the shop made the experience even better. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this coffee shop for a delightful and authentic breakfast. Five stars well-deserved!

This will be my Monday coffee routine, the most amazing San Sebastian cake I ever had, The owners are so lovely , smiling and the atmosphere is so cozy and the music in the background is the best , highly recommended

The atmosphere of the cafe is very warm, all the food is handmade and very delicious. The employees are very friendly. It's definitely a cafe you should try when you come to Cambridge.

While the restaurant's authentic Turkish cuisine may be appealing, its overall experience falls short due to limited space, underwhelming service, and a price that doesn't align with the overall quality. The cramped dining area creates an uncomfortable and rushed atmosphere, making it difficult to enjoy a leisurely meal. Additionally, the service is often slow and inattentive, leaving patrons feeling neglected. Furthermore, the price of the food doesn't justify the overall dining experience. While the flavors are authentic, the preparation and presentation lack finesse, and the portions are not particularly generous. Consequently, the restaurant fails to provide a value proposition that warrants its pricing. In order to improve the restaurant's overall experience, it should consider expanding its dining area to create a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, staff training should be implemented to enhance the level of service and attentiveness to customer needs. Finally, the restaurant should consider reevaluating its pricing to ensure it aligns with the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. By addressing these shortcomings, the restaurant can hope to attract and retain a loyal customer base.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it was delicious. We had a cross section of the menu between five of us and the food was really tasty, freshly cooked to order and lovely warm bread. Also worth a mention that the coffee was also really good. Great selection of cakes that we took away for later! It was very busy all the time we were there, well organised and really friendly. Would recommend!

Delicious food and great coffe, 10/10 recommend.

had a lovely brunch here :). food was all really tasty and very fresh, the ingredients seemed high quality. the coffee was great! would love to come here again!

Lovely couple using high quality ingredients for a unique and welcoming offering. Homemade cakes delicious, breakfast is supreme

Everything is good about it. I always buy my Sunday brunch from cafe blue sage, can't go anywhere else.

This is a very lovely cafe with lovely staff. My friend and I both had a vegan mezze and it was delicious!

Really cute little cafe that did the most beautiful Mediterranean breakfast. We ordered the mixed menemen and the suçuk menemen, which came with some pitta bread, and it was so flavourful and a really good sized portion. Service was lovely and the seating areas were small and intimate in the best way. Would definitely recommend and would come here again on the next visit. We also ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice and Turkish coffee, the latter came with a Turkish delight and once again everything tasted very fresh and well made.

Café Blue Sage is a cozy family-owned spot that serves Mediterranean-style breakfast, coffee, fresh juices, and a tempting selection of cakes and cookies. I couldn't resist trying their Menemen – scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spiced garlic, and beef sausages, all served hot in a pan with warm pita bread. Simple, yet incredibly delicious! The warm welcome and top-notch service left me eager for my next visit. Café Blue Sage has won me over!

If I want to go a cafe on Mill Road, I always go to Cafe Sage. Delicious food, very welcoming friendly couple, clean and relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely place for breakfast with tasty menemen and deserts.

My favourite cafe in Cambridge. Great coffee, amazing food, and really fantastic service. Cannot recommend enough.

Always a friendly smile with my coffee in the morning . Authentic cuisine all made fresh from local produce

So glad we found this lovely place for Sunday morning breakfast. Visiting from up north and after we read the reviews thought it sounded interesting. The Blue Sage Special was delicious and the menemem really tasty. Very friendly staff, can really recommend. It’s obviously popular so be prepared to wait. Thank you.

Great food and the olives and chorizo were especially tasty. The counter staff were very friendly and accomodating

The Mediterranean food is hearty and cheerful and so is the service. A marked difference from the Italian restaurant Tradizioni across the road.

I visited this cafe with one of my friend's recommendation. I have tried mozzarella&tomato& vegetables panini and avocado&cheese&red pepper sauce panini, I loved them, they are absolutely delicious. And also menemen was one of the best I have ever had. Poğaça was crunchy and it smelled so nice. Everything was home-made. Whenever I go there, I feel happy to see friendly faces. Cafe Blue Sage became my favourite place in Cambridge.

Fabulous family run cafe offering a Greek and Turkish cuisine experience. Unspoilt and unique yet delicious lunches, snacks and drinks that definitely tempt you into ordering more - from Greek and Turkish coffees to baklava and menemen, plus many many more. All freshly made and great value for money. Ideal for many dietary needs including glutenfree, vegetarian and vegan. Well worth a visit.

tried their breakfast meal and some latte and it was great.

Upgrading rating to 5 stars as coffee has improved and the food is great. Great customer service and very friendly/polite staff.

Great brunch in a lovely setting. The food is great, really good flavour and nice size. Great Turkish coffee also. Pretty small inside, quite an intimate setting, wouldn’t be so good for larger groups.

Absolutely beautiful in every way! Amazing food, friendly people and nice, cosy cafe. Highly recommended!

The best oat milk flat white in Cambridge.a great place to eat too.

One of the best breakfast venues in Cambridge. It’s only a small cafe but welcoming with a homely feel. We both had the Blue Sage Special Breakfast: Sucuk Turkish sausage, bulgar wheat, eggs, salad and warm pitta bread and jam. The Americano coffee was excellent. Food was quick, well-presented and good value. Will be back soon

Wonderful Caffè with delicious breakfast. A little hidden gem of Cambridge. A small independent café with a variety of options for food and drinks. Loved the vagan options available there and the food was delicious.

Such a lovely atmosphere. The food is delicious, very traditional and the choices of coffees is vast. Highly recommended 5*

The food is good and fairly reasonably priced compared to some other places along Mill Road. The staff member working front of house was very friendly and we were served promptly. The serving of salad could have been a bit more generous, but really that's just me nitpicking. Would definitely recommend as a place for a light spot of lunch.

If you are looking for home cooked vegetarian or vegan food, look no further. Service is friendly, just be sure to order at the counter inside before sitting! Enjoy

Popped in during a cycle ride and ended up having the Menemen with Feta and sausage. Delicious! Various cakes and Turkish food also available along with coffee etc. a lovely find!

Delicious Turkish breakfast. I would recommend boreks and sucuk panini. Owners were really nice people.

We went for Saturday brunch on a raw, cold December day. The welcome was very warm, and although they were very busy they coped with our dietary requirements very patiently and efficiently. The menu could be adapted so I could eat gluten free. Excellent food, freshly prepared. We will be back!

Absolutely amazing little cafe on Mill Road. This is my go-to place for coffee or breakfast. Most of the menu is veggie. They have plenty of panini options and Turkish breakfasts, mezzes and baked goods too. I love their böreks. I recommend this place to tourists and Cambridge locals.

A warm and welcoming little cafe. This place never disappoints me. The coffee is amazing and they have endless vegan and vegetarian options. Most vegan places are really expensive in Cambridge so I was ecstatic to find this place. They have different baked goods everyday which are super yummy. My favourite dish on the menu is the shakshouka but their pastries are amazing too. Give this place a try!

This is a lovely place for a quick bite. It’s small but they use the space so well. Perfect for couples, solo, or families. They have baked goods every day, each one yummier and more creative than the last. Their coffee is good quality and the have the option of plant-based milk. This place is perfect for an affordable vegan breakfast/lunch. 95% of the menu is vegetarian or vegan. They also have gluten free options. The owners are welcoming warm-hearted people and work so hard. The music is great. Most of the furniture is even handmade by the owner! I usually go for the Shakshouka or Mezze plate. Definitely give this place a try, a hidden gem for sure!

What a find. Delicious food, amazing coffee & super service.

Lovely lunch and coffee in a small, local cafe with a friendly vibe. Good vegetarian and vegan options. This was my first visit, but I'll definitely be back.

Wonderful cafe, family run, delicious turkish food.

Great food and friendly staff. The Menemen Mix was delicious and highly recommend. The Shakshuka was nice and tastes how it should. The juice was delicious and looking to make it at home. Very friendly staff who are very welcoming

Menemen sucuk was delicious. You should definitely try it. The best breakfast place in Cambridge. The coffees are of very good quality.

Menemen sucuk was delicious. you should definitely try it. The best breakfast place in Cambridge. The coffees are of very good quality.

Stopped by for breakfast and to dodge the rain. It was a delight. The Menamen Mix with pitta was warming (both served piping hot and with a spice kick) and the Greek coffee was perfect for a slightly hungover Sunday morning. Staff were charming and attentive. Highly recommend.

Best Baklava Ever! This cafe on Mill road has been a nice surprise. I went there with my husband the other day. I cannot fault their food which took me back to my Mediterranean roots. The falafel and the borek instantly became my favourites. The coffee was probably the best I've had in Cambridge but above all the baklava was superb. It was not like those super sweet, mushy baklavas you eat in some London pastry shops but properly hand made crunchy baklava with the right amount of nuts in it. I've found the staff courteous. Blue Sage cafe will definitely be our destination on Mill road.

Delicious food! I have been this cute cafe many times and have never been dissappointed. Very friendly people , very good service and reasonable prices. My favourite food is Sucuk ( spiced garlic beef sausage) panini and they have also very good coffee too.Thank you Cafe Blue Sage !

AVOID at all cost, SCAMMING customers: I went today and ordered Panini with Salad as shown on the menu. Did not get any salad, I politely asked, if I could get Salad, he said they don't give customer Salad. When I showed the Owner the menu, he said his menu was wrong! This is the same menu outside the shop; anyone could see and decide if they come in. It is not about Salad only. The Owner was Rude and Angry, never had such a hostile answer to the basic request. I am sure I was also overcharged for Baklava, something I did not want to bring up. The quality of food is 2/10. If you want to spend your hard-earned money to get substandard food with customer service from Hell, visit this place. I would even send my worst enemy to this place. Deeply regrets spending 19 pounds on 2 panini when I could have paid 1/2 of that money to get excellent food from any of the lovely Mill Road restaurants/cafes instead of this trap.

Menemen with feta was lovely. Excellent flat white as well.

Wonderful food , I could happily live on their paninis . A lovely atmosphere and kind thoughtful staff , an absolutely excellent restaurant which I highly recommend trying

Lovely Turkish breakfast 😊 the sucuk sausage is awesome, have to go back to try it in a panini!

Best place for brunch in Cambridge. Make sure you try maneman

Super cute cafe - definitely get yourself a juice and a biscuit!

Dropped in by chance for a coffee & a panini - both arrived swiftly & with a smile & both were delicious!

Delicious breakfast, we had the menemen mix with feta and grilled beef sausage, very yummy! Comes with pitta bread, which we needed more of, and they gave without charge. I had mine with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, sweet and refreshing. Would definitely recommend a visit. It is a small place they have a few tables inside and some outside, but we had no trouble getting a table when we went on a sunday morning.

Cute cafe with friendly staff and decent food. Also halal

Excellent food, but very slow service. We had to wait 30 mins to get a table and get it disinfected. Then wait for them to take our orders, which totaled about over 45 mins to get the ball rolling. We ordered Shaukshuka with a side if beef sausage. The food came out in a timely matter. It was delicious, fresh, and bursting with flavors, so A+ for the food quality. We didn't tried there fruit juices. A must try if you're in the area, but be ready to wait for a while to get your food.

Good food, polite and efficient service.

As soon as we entered we felt like we were entering her home and not a cafe! She was super welcoming and polite! The food was great with tonnes of options including some yummy vegan ones! Will come again!

Amazing food and friendly welcoming!

Excellent lunch and service. Great Turkish coffee and delights.

Wonderful food and coffee. Lovely friendly staff.

Cute little spot by cambridge, lovley shakshuka and good coffee. Loved it.

Only a rating of 4.9?? Obviously this place deserves 5 stars plus! We are locals and this place is the most authentic and lovely family owned cafe in Cambridge. Best cappuccino in town (smooth and not bitter like most places) and very fairly priced. We love the Turkish savoury and sweet pastries and the special brunch. Best cafe on Mill Rd for sure. Great for family with kids. Small place but very cozy

Great coffee, excellent food and friendly people running it. A little gem.

Their breakfast and the coffee and freshly squeezed juice is all brilliant. The service was great. All round great breakfast.

One of my favourite spots on Mill Road. Lovely Turkish coffee and food (with everything made fresh). Great family-run business!

The owners are wonderful people, always smiling. The place where you can feel comfortable. There are so many delicious things. Turkish flavors are impeccable. Especially menemen is great, very tasty. You should definitely visit and try menemen.

Lovely, freshly made food and truly outstanding coffee. Very impressed!

Lovely Turkish coffee with a Turkish delight on the side. Look forward to coming back for food!

Delicious vegan avo and sweet pepper sauce pannini. Great oat milk mocha.

Amazing lunch from Café Blue Sage today. Everything is prepared fresh, so next time I'll make sure to call in advance if I'm in a hurry. It's only been the second time that I went but definitely not the last! Loved all about it and the take away packaging is extremely nice (and environmentally friendly). Highly recommend!

Great flavour and variety of panini's - would recommend the halloumi, hummus and roasted veg!

Well priced, delicious home cooking. Great service as well.

I really didn’t want to recommend this place because as a consequence more people might go there and this wonderful place wouldn’t be a secret anymore 😉 But I just have to ! It’s a lovely little coffee with heartwarming owners and super tasty food !! If I could give 6 stars, I would.

It's the second Covid shutdown but Blue Sage is open for takeaways. Yesterday bought some baklava pieces as a treat for the weekend - absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it.

We visited this amazing place on the way to the airport and we will be definitely back ! Customer service is absolutely worth 5stars🌟 if not more ! Food was tasty and humus the best I've ever had. Thank you and we'll done , Cafe Blue Sage 💖
