Cafe Foy in Cambridge

One of my fav places in town, <3

Definitely a hidden gem of a cafe! Really nice hot chocolate and excellent cookies 🍪 also nice Riverside views too!

Sophie is awesome! Would 10/10 return again

Such a great brunch spot, banging Bloody Mary, well made coffee and tasty and balanced brunch! Staff were so attentive and friendly!

Had the Foy fizz so yummy, summer in a glass. Lovely service and atmosphere, so upsetting that they’re closing for winter :(

10/10 Location 11/10 Service 12/10 Food Their toastie of the day changed my life.

First time at this cosy, buzzing eatery next to the river Cam. Delightful and attentive service. Food presentation and quality was excellent. Sitting inside due to chilly weather felt somewhat cramped but come summer, Al fresco dining will possibly be the better option. Will return.

I'd come here for the toasted sour dough and soup alone! Well worth a visit

Best cappuccino I’ve ever had! Really nice staff!

Stopped by for a quick coffee. Lovely location, friendly staff and a great selection. What more could you want from a café?!! Would recommend for sure.

Amazing food, exceptional service, managers were incredible

Matt and Sophie organised our wedding feast. They did an outstanding job. Their food is wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were fantastic. Thank you - you are the best place in Cambridge - by a country mile.

Delicious food. Great service. Happy atmosphere. We were there evening but will definitely visit during the day & watch the world go by, by the river. Lovely location.

10/10 A great brunch spot. Delicious food and lovely staff who were very accommodating. Can’t wait to come baxk

Super Kaffee. Unser Frühstück war super lecker. Cooles Ambiente, generell klasse gemacht. Das Granola ist der Hit

Such a lovely restaurant. Owner is lovely, service is fab, food is delicious and well priced plus it’s dog friendly. Excellent spot. (Forgot to take many photos but it was all great!!)

Great food, beautiful surroundings!

Lovely full English would come again when in the area next 100%

Can't comment on food as only had coffee. Service great. Staff great. Dogs very welcome.

We had a nice relaxing breakfast at Cafe Foy. The food and coffee were excellent and staff was kind and attentive

Great café close to the river cam. We have the Vegan Shakshuka and it was amazing. Very friendly staff. We shared a table out the front on a bust summer morning

Delicious brunch options! This place has a small menu for brunch, which is perfect because you know everything will be made to order. We ordered Turkish eggs and a veggie bagel with a latte and an Americano. Food came out fast after receiving our coffee. The food tasted fresh, tasty, and delicious. The service is great with helpful staff. The sitting area of the restaurant is amazing since it's next to cambridge River.

Delicious brunch. I’d highly recommend the breakfast bagel as it was jam packed and absolutely delicious.

We stopped by for some brunch. The breakfast bagel didn’t disappoint and I’d highly recommend if you’re ever in Cambridge.

Great service and drinks as usual Lunch was fabulous especially the Shashuka and the Cesar .Was asked to pay the bill before we had finished which I hope was a sincere error.

Best place in Cambridge for pretty much everything - vibes, drinks, food. Trip to Cambridge isn’t complete without a Foy Fizz by the river, and if you’re a local don’t miss the infamous Foy Friday supper clubs. Where is the sixth star?!

Had a great visit to Cafe Foy. The food was so delicious, and lovely to enjoy sitting outside by the river. Can't wait to go again! Also lovely that it was dog friendly!

This area is a bit of a tourist honey pot with plenty of mid market restaurants. Cafe Foy offers a nice alternative of lighter meals. My Welsh rarebit was very good!

Wife and I got the breakfast bagel, eggs on toast and two lattes. Breakfast bagel has to be best breakfast we have in years. If there were 6 stars it would rate it!

We spent few days in Cambridge and were wondering how such a nice city had very few places to eat with a terrasse. Well, on our last day, we found out about quayside bay which few minutes walk from the center, by the river. They have several restaurants and bars where you can sit outside and enjoy people watching without cars driving by. We went to Foy restaurant and enjoy a bottle of rose of Provence and their special ‘Foy toastie’. Service was good, efficient. Food and wine were great. All at an affordable price

Best toasties, soups, and brunch in town. Quality ingredients and reasonable price.

Had a quick meal at Cafe Foy before boarding the punting tour. Despite the busy crowd, managed to get seated outdoor. Ordered Breakfast Bagel, it was replaced with normal bread. It was good with English Breakfast served. The cafe was near the Quayside. Customer Service was amazing.

Lovely place to sit and people watch, great friendly service and delicious coffee. Good looking menu, though didn't eat before going punting the river.

What a gem of a place ,some of the nicest ,freshest food I've ate in a long time presentation was as good as the food can't fault it one bit .one guy working in very limited space and what he turned out was incredible 👏🏻

Absolutely delicious food and great atmosphere! We had the Turkish eggs, breakfast bagel and coffees and it was all incredible!

Managed to try two different mains and two coffees. All great!

Had a lovely lunch here. Service was excellent and they brought our dog some water. We needed to wait for the rest of our party but there was no rush It was pretty busy and they did run out of some dishes. Nice outdoor seating.

The hummus was divine, wine was perfect, and people were lovely!

On the river and friendly attentive staff made this an enjoyable visit. Not cheap but fair for the location. Good drinks menu and ‘niche’ food choices

I cannot thank this wonderful cafe enough for providing 50 colleagues on a works summer outing, shelter from the pouring rain. We drank their delicious coffee and wine and enjoyed the excellent customer service. What a charming little cafe this is.

Good food. Loved the cilbir. Understaffed but good service.

A prime place to sit outdoors and people watch as in a super location by the river. Great selection of drinks. There was also a snacks menu although that didn't seem to be available when we were there. Take-away drinks also available. VERY popular so there may be a wait for a table.

Our favourite spot in Cambridge. We love coming here for a drink and some food. The staff are lovely, the food is delicious and we always love the touch of fresh flowers.

Nice place to stop for a drink with good views

Me and some friends visited the Foy for some drinks and really enjoyed ourselves! It’s a really lovely location, right next to the river cam and the service was great!

This is a fantastic place for a small snack or cup of tea while waiting for your ride on the punt or just to sit and watch people admire the river. During the high tourist season, you might want to try to reserve a table, as it gets ridiculously busy. The small menu for food has some great and unique choices, and I'd like to go back just to explore that menu a little more. It's not a good place to work with colleagues, it's really a little cafe for tourists enjoying the sun.

Stunning food and the best Flat White I've had in years !!! Very happy to have found Foy. Amazing place to eat with a view of the river.

Délicieux petit déjeuner/brunch Tartine sourdough avec œuf, très bonne. Matière premières de bonne qualité ->plats délicieux. La carte propose peu de plat mais l’offre est suffisante pour satisfaire tous les Goûts.

Such a nice spot for lunch, food was amazing as were the drinks would defo recommend, highlight of our trip for food!!

Great food, nice location and staff were lovely

Really good breakfast on a sunny spring morning, I dined on the delicious Sashshuka with extra chorizo, simply Devine! And the hummus was also good as well. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

Great food, great staff, great location.

Nice location near the river, you can sit outside and enjoy the river view or can sit inside. Staff friendly. Giving 4 star as the hot chocolate was very good but not extra ordinary.

Stopped here after punting for brunch this morning with friends. Friendly service with a menu that was refreshingly different. Tasty, quality food, nicely presented. Had the Rarebit, began and Turkish eggs. All delicious and fresh. Took some feedback very graciously. Good selection of cakes/pastries too - croissants and pain au chocolates were huge! Has lots of outside seating for the sunny days. Would definitely recommend. Good job Matt and Sophie!

Great drink, amazing location. Most impressively, the billing experience was the best in the UK. Every restaurant should book a training here to learn how to carry around an iPad and a pose machine to improve productivity, which was the pride of the UK, and to save everyone’s time :)

Fab place for a quick bite to eat before punting. Very friendly staff, fast service. Relaxed atmosphere if you want to sit and people watch

Amazing cocktails and snacks. But the cocktails are a must try at this place. Go go go.

Great breakfast and lovely food and great coffee. Very good service and high quality food at a fair price.

Great coffee and banana bread! Vegan friendly ✅

Great service, tasty cakes and lovely hot drinks

Lovely place ideal for a quick stop or good priced breakfast/lunch. Especially if going on the Punting boats here. Also do takeaway options for drinks too.

Muy majos los camareros y una tarta de giunness buenísima

Nice little cafe next to the river Friendly and helpful service The bagel was really good!

Had breakfast today and food was excellent, great service, great ambience. Definitely recommend.

Very small, so was busy on a Saturday. But we got a seat indoors which was great. Had a good selection of drinks and cakes when we visited. The only reason I didn't give 4 stars for food was because my tea was a little stewed - I prefer the teabag to have kissed the water and, in this case, it was obvious that it had been sitting there a while. But it was ok to drink and my companion's cold chocolate drink was delicious. If I visit again, I will ask them to leave teabag on the side 🙂 Servers were lovely 🙂

My daughter is a student and recommended coming here. It was a great experience from the minute we walked in and is definite going to be one of my favourite places to meet friends . The staff were so friendly including the guys behind the bar. They gave us a great table in the window despite only being 2 of us. The food options were super lots of flexibility, healthy and a good price . My daughter couldn’t resist the Terry’s chocolate orange hot chocolate ! It arrived in good time , was hot and delicious. My only concern is limited in door seating so you would need to go early as it’s bound to be popular.

Friendly staff, great location, i.e. just by the river where you can watch people punting which is very Cambridge special.

Hot chocolate before punting was lovely. Slow service if you're waiting outside for a takeaway

Excellent place for brunch on Quayside

Absolutely delicious in a wonderful setting.

Stopped by on a Saturday morning for a coffee and had a couple of chunky slices of GF toast and marmalade too. You need to run the gauntlet outside of young men asking if you want to go punting on the Cam but it was worth wading through to get sat down, fed and watered. Excellent cappuccino and will return for a breakfast before long.

Turned up in the afternoon to this spot which I’d heard loads about from friends. It was chilled, fun and kept the wine flowing. Sophie, Bella and Emma made sure we were looked after. Class act. Get down. You won’t regret it.

Such a great place, great location and great staff. Couldn’t recommend it more. The Rueben is the toastie to get ! See you soon- thank you!

Was served by Chelsea very helpful and welcoming. Had the Reuben sandwich because it reminded me of Reuben the Pig. YUMMY : )

Excellent service. Good coffee. Excellent location. What more the staff are extremely kind hearted. Could bot recommend this place more.

We ordered with a very friendly member of staff , very talkative and polite. Coffee was fantastic and cafe was clean. I will definitely return when we visit Cambridge again

Great when they have happy hour !

Very quick service and at a decent price. The location is perfect (beside the river) and was quick to find seating in the evening as most people just drink and leave :D unfortunately, no coffee — but it's understandable why it's not available in the evening.

Alway have a great time when visiting this delightful cafe. Toasties are out of this world! The location is perfect to meet up with a group of friends or to sit and let time go by while you people watch, the expertly made drinks all...

Best spot in Cambridge for breakfast, lunch and evening drinks!

Alway have a great time when visiting this delightful cafe. Toasties are out of this world! The location is perfect to meet up with a group of friends or to sit and let time go by while you people watch, the expertly made drinks all add to this 10/10 experience. Staff are attentive and helpful. You won’t regret it If you can get yourself into one of the supper clubs.

Just wanted to applaud the wonderful service at the cafe. Visited Cambridge with my family on the 1st of August 2022, and stopped by for some eats and coffee at 5pm. We were given the best service by the two young ladies at the Cafe. I couldn’t catch their names, but they did a fantastic job at dealing with the customers and that too with the most pleasant nature. Kudos to them, and keep it up! Will recommend to others who make a visit to Cambridge.

A small and nice place near the punting area of the city, friendly staff lovely coffee and toastie with a view of the river.

Had beer in the garden by river. Lovely atmosphere, staff and ambience.

Our party of 6 included 2 toddlers...firstly there was only onec highchair available. Upon asking for the scrambled eggs for the children we were rather abruptly told that we couldn't have them as they were now serving the lunch menu which didnt include scrambled eggs....

Great situation near the Cam Will visit again Thanks

Don't forget to ask for 2 shots in your flat white....

great little cafe - yummy food - friendly staff 10/10 would visit again!!

I've been there with friends, and we were a large group of 12 but still the service was excellent. The soup of the day was butternut squash and it was the best I have ever eaten! The staff was very kind and helpful, and also they paid close attention to table allergies. Very recommended!!

Love this place! Great food, wonderful staff and fantastic location. A bottle of pink Prosecco and a delicious chorizo with red wine and honey by the river in the sun, great vibes all round. Will definitely return!!:)

My partner and I Came here on a busy Saturday, Staff were smiley, friendly and attentive despite the busy surroundings. When we arrived I informed the staff I have a gluten intolerance and they were able to accommodate to my needs perfectly and nothing seemed to be a problem. We will definitely be coming back!

staff are beautiful and friendly, they seat you to the table and are attentive to your needs. the food is fabulous! we had the shakshuka and soup of the day, which always changes, but the white onion is amazing!

Came up to cambridge for the day and couldn’t recommend this place more. Spent the morning here - we had the shakshuka (best I’ve had - get the feta and chorizo) and the Reuben (the highlight). Only meant to come for breakfast but went punting from Foy and then came back in the afternoon for drinks. Unreal spot on the river. It was a very busy bank holiday but staff were lovely throughout. We will defo be back.

Best ham and cheese toastie anywhere period. Try yourself and tell me I'm wrong ! The price is surprisingly ordinary.

Staff seemed inattentive, stood at the please wait here sign for a good few minutes while staff walked by us and then when I eventually walked in and got the attention of someone they weren’t welcoming or friendly, a table was vaguely pointed out to us and then when someone came over to take our order we were told we couldn’t add a fried egg to the avocado toast but you could add it to the croque monsieur which seemed odd - as a chef, if your already doing fried eggs it really isn’t any trouble to fry one off for a toast dish.. I had the shakshuka which was fine, a bit oily and I had to pay an extra 1.50 for a sprinkle of feta but then it came with hummus and chick peas which tasted stale. Then the weirdest thing was that my toasted sourdough was only toasted on the one side! The side placed down on the plate was completely untoasted and soft. Maybe the place was having an off day but wasn’t impressed.

The toasties are warm and delicious, especially with the wondrous amount of cheese. One star is deducted, however, for the confusion over brunch/lunch menu and the advertised but unavailable tartiflette, which wasted us much time making and remaking decisions.

Good, no 5 stars as we didn't eat, but the service we got for our coffees wasnt a problem 👏

Came on the busy Bank Holiday for a quick drink before going punting. Staff were really excellent, quick, and helpful. We just had pimms but it was very nice and well presented in the Jug, could see some effort put in and not just thrown together. Had a nice selection of gins and other spirits on offer. Would definitely come back again to sit outside in the sun and watch the punting.
