Greens Coffee & Co in South Cambridgeshire

I’ve previously raved about this small coffee shop cum cafe but, disappointingly, I didn’t enjoy the food on our recent visit. We were a family group of five, three of whom had the tuna ciabatta melt which, they said, was very good. However, my grandson’s squash and spinach soup lacked any taste of squash (I tasted the soup) and, actually, with its very dark green colour, I didn’t think the soup looked appealing either. Spinach has such a strong taste and, if it’s being used alongside other vegetables in soup-making, the amount needs to be proportionate to the other ingredients. Unfortunately, the spinach was overpowering and totally drowned out any flavour from the squash. I ordered a home-baked, warm asparagus, spinach, tomato and cheese tart which I can only describe as dire. The pastry was soggy, so I only ate the middle of the tart and left the pastry, whilst the accompanying salad was tiny and boring beyond belief, with just a few leaves, a couple of pieces of tomato and a few bits of cucumber. The salad actually resembled nothing more than a garnish, with a bit of dressing on top, and, at £12, the meal was poor quality and even poorer value for money. The lattes were excellent and my son-in-law enjoyed his Terry’s orange flavoured hot chocolate but there wasn’t a great choice of cakes to go with our drinks so none of us bothered. In terms of the food, there doesn’t appear to be an actual kitchen, just a section within the cafe where a member of staff was preparing the orders. I’d never previously noticed before that there wasn’t a kitchen here so not sure if this is a change. However, only having a microwave and no oven would explain why I had a tart with soggy pastry! Regrettably, I can’t even say that the staff were brilliant. We were mainly served by one staff member who I can only describe as surly looking, leading me to want to repeat a childhood phrase my mum used to say when I was being grumpy, ‘if you smile, your face will crack!’. A second member of staff, though, was so different and really nice. I’d have been happy to have given some honest feedback at the time but, unfortunately, nobody asked if we’d enjoyed our meal. I can say, now though, that my meal was extremely poor and, with a bill of £65 for our group, it wasn’t cheap. Finishing on a positive note, the toilets were clean.

Been here a few times now for lunch / coffee and cake. Absolutely lovely coffee shop, food and cakes are delicious and good value. Service is second to none,all the staff are charming, engaging and super helpful 😀 Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!!!

Looks good…. but not again Coffee is good, food very side of the road caffe, sandwich in sliced bread, no proper kitchen so no cooked food. Always busy and steamy if raining

Very friendly welcome in this busy bustling little cafe , quick service and some lovely freshly made Baguettes arrived .

We stopped by for a coffee and ended up with homemade soup /warm ciabatta aswell 😋 The environment was clean and welcoming. The staff were polite and served us the perfect flat white . We both really enjoyed both our coffee and soup. We’ll be back :)

Lovely food and staff were so friendly too. Highly recommend. Chicken with brie sandwich and the chilly jam was awesome

A year on from our first visit to Greens, we, being four adults and two children, were again making our way to Suffolk for a few nights when we made a lunchtime stop here. Granted, it’s a smallish menu but it is a cafe, and not a restaurant, and everything is fresh and homemade which would always be my preference over a large menu where food is of the commercially frozen variety. We had various things from the menu, including sandwiches, soup, quiche and salad, and everything was lovely. The latte was more than decent and had been made extra hot and without a load of froth on top, as requested. Although I didn’t partake, my son-in-law indulged in some cake and, judging by the way he tucked in, he enjoyed it! The only slight niggle was that my daughter would have liked a toasted tea cake but this was only on the breakfast menu which finished at 1130 hrs. As a toasted tea cake is such a simple thing, we asked if it would be possible but were told that the toaster had been put away. Not sure what that was about! Anyway, there were no complaints with our food and there’s lovely clean toilet facilities which is always appreciated! We wouldn’t hesitate to return if we’re back in the area.

I’d seen this place on TripAdvisor and made a mental note that, should I be in the area at any point, I’d give it a try. Lucky for my family and me that, on a very busy day (although, probably all days are like that at Greens), staff managed to squeeze us in for a quick bite to eat with the proviso that we vacated in under an hour as the table was reserved. The menu is quite limited but quality is the number one word and, thankfully, the food was worth the effort of our slight detour to get there. Homemade soup, homemade quiche, tasty and interesting salads, fabulous mouth watering cakes (due to the time factor, we took them with us), all complemented with the gorgeous Greens coffee. Added to all of that, there are very good Covid measures in place with your temperature and contact details being taken on entry. In summary, tiptop quality, reasonable prices, great staff that have a bit of personality and last, but certainly not least, lovely clean loos! We left feeling rather smug and chuffed to bits that we’d found such a great spot. Unfortunately, we're too far away to be regulars but we'll be back later this year when we make the same journey.

We always try to find small independents rather than service stations to stop off on journeys and we chose Greens based on the great TripAdvisor reviews. We weren’t disappointed! Huge salmon salad, home made soup and tasty ciabatta, just what we were looking for. Lovely home made food run by a very friendly team. If I lived nearby I would be a regular!

Consistently good quality, beautifully presented food with a good choice of hot and cold drinks. Always exceptionally clean premises, and staff who can't do enough for you. We therefore visit on a regular basis. Well done Dan, Debs and your team - keep up the good work x

Came here for lunch over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised. The staff check your temperature when you enter and take down details to contact you. Staff were attentive and it was evident that the food was freshly prepared. The chicken salad came with plenty of chicken and the hot pasta was delicious. Cakes and coffee were also brilliant. Would happily return.

This is quite a high review based on the fact that it was our first visit and we only had coffee this time - however there was a lovely atmosphere with a mixture of ages and clientele, the menu looked interesting and OK there are cheaper places to eat but the menu has some lovely items on it and it all looked fresh. I have a bugbear with lattes when they come topped with lots of foam and little coffee given the price - and it was the same here with both of them - it's a latte not a cappuccino however they were both topped up with no attitude or questions asked - the staff were very pleasant about it. All in all it made us want to go back and eat - well done everyone

Great little cafe but the service is slow. Too busy chatting to serve you. Relaxed but overly so. Good choice of coffees but limited food options.

Had not visited this place before, so decided to give it a go for lunch. We were surprised to find the place so full, but soon found out why. The menu is quite limited, but full of interesting choices. The food was great and service was excellent. Will definitely be back soon!

The waitresses are very polite .The tables and chairs very clean .The menu of food is a bit limiting nice Coffee .Some times they have special music nights.

We have visited Greens many times as a family and it is always fabulous. The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. The food is always excellent quality and well presented. Back in August, for my wife's birthday, one of the owner's Debs brought out a surprise birthday brownie for her and everyone sang Happy Birthday - Greens is a really lovely place that makes you feel well looked after!

El personal de Greens fue encantador, muy servicial al prepararnos al juntar las mesas y traernos una trona y un cojín adicional. No nos importó que nos sentáramos en una mesa reservada por una hora y trajimos comida muy rápidamente. La comida para adultos y niños fue realmente buena. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Mi familia y yo fuimos a almorzar a este café y el personal no podría haber sido más servicial; Éramos cinco adultos con dos carritos de bebé y uno de dos años. Se juntaron tres mesas para hacernos espacio, lo que significaba que podíamos conversar fácilmente. La comida era muy buena y el ambiente agradable. Definitivamente puedo recomendar este café.

We have been customers at Greens for a long time and it's without doubt, the best coffee shop you will ever find. The food and drinks are delicious ( The homemade soups are amazing! ) and always freshly prepared. Dan, Deb's and all their staff never fail to make us feel welcome and it's an absolute pleasure to visit for lunch.A few weeks ago we went to an Italian evening and the food, drinks and attention to detail were superb. It was fantastic from start to finish ( Another one is planned for the end of October with a new menu too ! ) and the staff were exceptional all evening.Thank you Dan and Deb's for providing a great coffee shop with a variety of evening entertainment and food, to the community of Cambourne and surrounding area. It's greatly appreciated by us both. Alison and Damon

We have been to Greens a few times now and we have never been disappointed. Food is fresh and so tasty and the staff are lovely. We will certainly be back to taste the lovely cakes.

2 Frenchies qui ne mangent pas d’œufs ou bacon au pt dej... ouf le café propose aussi croissants et pains au chocolat! Accueil agréable et wifi dispo. Le café est à côté du supermarché Morisons de Cambourne.

Had a delicious breakfast, poached eggs, crispy bacon and smashed avocado in toast, the staff where wonderful and the service was great too. Recommended ..!!

We've recently moved to Cambourne and started using Greens regularly for breakfast and lunches. The staff are all friendly and always provide a high standard of service. The food is great and all reasonably priced and even at busy times I don't think we've waited more than 15 mins for our food. Would definitely recommend!

Another good breakfast at Greens. A large cup of smooth coffee with delicious crumpets with avocado eggs and bacon forgo the spinach seemed too healthy. Thoroughly enjoyable as always

Popped in for coffees and toasted Sandwich today with my son and daughter in law and my wife was not disappointed really fresh and tasty toasted.cheese sandwich . Coffee really good and staff were really nice never disappoints

Fabulous evening with Dan and Debs. Excellent nachos ! Just the best ever 🙂 Good selection of food and drink. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back !

Recently went to Greens with family members. What a great place. Each of us had something different, soup with lots of ciabatta, chicken salad and toasties. For me the nicest toastie I have ever had. Full of filling and the brown bread amazing. Side salad with amazing dressing which I believe they sell too! Staff so friendly and helpful but the gold star goes to a lad called Tom. He knew the menu inside out and was so helpful and patient whilst we decided what to choose. Thank you Tom. I will definitely be returning to Greens when I next visit my parents and hope you are still there!

Quality food and Coffee nice staff pleasant atmosphere in a great location not far from my family easy to get to plenty of free parking near by

Popped in for breakfast with my daughter and son in law - new breakfast choices are absolutely delicious, recommend the crumpets, pancakes and my daughter even went on to try the ‘beano’ - which she wouldn’t share!

This is a nice cafe with decent coffee and the food is good. It is quite busy on a Saturday morning, so it is best for takeaway or a very short visit.

I would recommend this cafe for anyone looking for gluten free. The gluten free sandwich and cake (Victoria sponge) were great. The ordinary food was also good quality. Prices were sensible. The service was quick and efficient but disinterested. It is the little things that make a 5 star rating for me, and unfortunately they are missing at Greens. The combination of a safe/conventional interior and a lack of engagement from staff made the atmosphere flat. I feel a few changes to the front of house could make all the difference.

Since changing jobs nearly 3 years ago to have more time with my family, one of the things I wanted especially was to spend more time with my daughter before she grows too big. Greens has become our favourite haunt by far (and believe me, we’ve tried a lot!). My daughter’s favourite is the Nachos. The portion size is huge and obviously freshly made. I often have the hummus and the added touch of crispy onions and chilli sauce drizzled on top with toasted garlic ciabatta is amazing. The last time we brought my husband and he said the ploughman’s was one of the best he’d had. Oh, and the Toffee frappe is like no other. It’s delicious. Really good.Carry on the good work. You have a little gem of a business there and we’ll continue to drive the half an hour drive just to come to you, because we know we’ll always get the best lunch and frappes.I’ve tried to rate the service, food and value below but it won’t let me.

This was our second visit to greens and it was excellent again.We were driving down from Margate and hadn't booked because the weather was great and there are lots of tables but about an hour out, my daughter said it was raining in cambourne so decided to ring to book for an inside table as we were a party of 6.The owner was so helpful on the phone and reserved one for us even though she had a table of 15 on hold already.Four of us had poached eggs on toast, so 8 eggs altogether...i've been to establishments where they've hashed up 1 egg but all 8 were fab, nice and soft.Had extra toast, coffees, kiddies plate, more coffee and cake, all fantastic, speedy service and owner very friendly.Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and can't wait for our next visit

Stopped off yesterday while cycling. I ordered two lattes - one to drink and one for my 'water bottle'. Both were beautifully made, tasty and creamy and a real tonic after a couple of hours in the saddle.A jug of water - which came spontaneously - was most welcome and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout.I'd never been to Cambourne before - unless you count Morrison's - so it was a treat to find this lovely cafe.

Lovely place, easy to find and nice outside seating. Great service and good food, shame it doesn't do a full breakfast.

Had read good reviews for greens and as it's near our daughters, decided to combine a visit and breakfast treat.Unfortunately, after arranging visit with said daughter, contacted cafe to book a table but they were going to be closed for the owners wedding, so what did this good mum do....rearranged her visit of course! I hasten to add, we travel from margate, so needed to kill two birds with one stone as it were.Had a table for 6 and everything was fabulous, all had various brekkys, from porridge to full English to avocado, all scrummy.Then followed cakes and coffee. Very clean and spacious, will definitely visit again whenever we visit our daughter

I absolutely love Greens, it’s my local cafe and we visit most weekends. The staff are fantastic and the food is lovely for a great price. Would thoroughly recommend!

A lovely little eatery providing a good lunch, coffee & drinks menu. Better still, the staff were super helpful and attentive on my visit, advising on available gluten free options/alternatives to suit my coeilac diet. My friend and I weren't sure on the wine selection and we were even offered a small taste ahead of ordering, just in case we didn't like it. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We sat outside as it was a gorgeous, sunny day, which added to the delightful experience.

Very inviting façade, easy parking and I guess a good meeting place. I was here on business with my clients. We found it a great place to eat, drink and refresh. Staff were attentive and the food was fresh, wholesome and excellent. Would certainly recommend and will visit again.

A good quality independent cafe with friendly service. A good range of rather tasty cakes and savoury snacks

People say you only leave reviews when you have a bad one (can say I have been said to have done this).What can I say when ever I have been to greens I have found them helpful, polite, I have never been rushed and the food has been of good/high quality. Keep up the good work

Called for lunch with my two daughters and we were all really happy with both the food and service. Two of us had a delicious pea and leek soup served with warm ciabatta bread which perfectly complemented it. My other daughter had a toastie made to her request which was perfect. Greens latte coffee is my favourite compared to many other coffee shops.The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.The food and drinks were served by helpful, cheerful staff. I would definitely recommend Greens.

Just had lunch at Greens. The new menu is available and the Ploughman’s is fantastic! Includes a delicious piece of The Duke blue cheese from Cheese +. Highly recommended. Always a great welcome. Make a visit soon!

I visit Greens regularly, sometimes three times a week and have been for years. Meeting friends, doing some work and having lunch with the family are all reasons for me to go. It is a friendly place serving the best coffee and great food.So why would I be leaving a review now, after so long? To be honest it is in response to the poor review I recently read on here. I simply cannot recognise the place I go to so regularly from what was said.Never have I had a bad experience and I am always greeted by friendly staff who deliver fast and efficient service.The owners live in the community they serve, clearly working hard and taking pride in their business. They succeed because they do it well, that’s why you can’t always get a table without a little wait.I will continue to enjoy Greens and I am sure you will too...

I regularly visit Greens; and today I went for lunch with my family including my daughter who has just returned from a long trip overseas and she had been craving for ‘green’s nachos’ - her smiling face and empty plate really said it all The coffee here is without exception the best - always delicious and one cup is rarely enough. The staff are always polite and the service prompt - I never feel rushed and it’s always great value for money - we have currently been sitting here for 2 hours...relaxed and enjoyable and not a free table, says it all really...couldn’t recommend it more

I am saddened to see the last two reviews for Greens, they seem very vindictive and based LARGELY upon false claims. I have been going to Greens (and taken friends and family there) for the past 2 years and have never left feeling unhappy with my experience. Today I have been to Greens with six other people, we all had dishes and made fussy requests and everything came correctly, beautifully presented and tasted amazing! The staff were so happy, smiley and very attentive. They consistently asked us if we were happy with our meal, if we needed anything and asked us, when collecting our empty plates, if everything was okay. So as my title suggests... Greens is brilliant, everything from the atmosphere to the staff and of course the most important thing in between - the food and drink! The owners are so friendly - to the point where they know all their regular customers and their preferred choice of food/drink! To be fair I believe that all the staff work incredibly hard to maintain Greens’ amazing reputation within the community by ensuring an amazing level of service, use of lovely high quality ingredients and their willingness to just make their customers happy. I couldn’t recommend Greens more!!

I have eaten here many times over the years. It used to be fantastic but the food quality has really declined over the past 6-12 months whilst the prices have increased. I'm concerned that the place is resting on its laurels a bit, given that it has no direct competition in the town (i.e. being the only 'nice' coffee shop/café).Five of the last six meals I have had have been pretty terrible: poached egg on toast that was very soggy; a very chewy pain au chocolat; a ham and cheese toastie that tasted stale (it was a Monday, so the bread was likely purchased at best on the Friday before); a portion of nachos that had probably been cooked earlier in the day and then reheated, so that the cheese had solidified and was tough to eat (it genuinely made my jaw ache for hours afterwards); and an ante-paste board in which the peppers were rancid. The only exception was a ciabatta with parma ham, mozzarella and tomatoes, which was excellent.The prices are also pretty steep. That tough plate of nachos cost over £7 and a bowl of soup costs £5. If you're going to be paying those prices then the food really should be better. They also sell pastries in the morning for around £1.50 each; I've seen the staff purchasing baskets full of pastries in Morrisons in the early morning (where you can get three for a pound) but this could just be a coincidence. Again, I've no problem paying £1.50 for a pastry if it's good, but not if it's a Morrisons one (I really hope I'm wrong about this).I think the main issue with each of those bad meals was that I was never asked "How is/was your meal?"; they just took my payment quickly and cleared the table instantly for the next waiting customers. This implies that they don't care about feedback as much as they used to - another sign of resting on their laurels, perhaps? Alas, I'm not normally one for speaking out or making a fuss but had they asked me then I would have given honest feedback face-to-face and it might have saved me from writing this Tripadvisor review.It's a shame because it used to be great and I would often take family and friends there. Cambourne is in real need of another cafe to give customers more choice and to keep prices competitive - and I also think Greens would benefit from the competition in order to get back to their previous high standards.

I don’t think the previous review is representative of how fantastic Greens really is. Very efficient staff, excellent food and drink, lovely owners. We are lucky to have them.

This started off as a pleasant experience but then rapidly deteriorated when I asked a member of staff for the biggest piece of flapjack (or similar) as I was sharing it with a friend. She obviously wasn't happy about this request and was even unhappier when I politely questioned her about her choice of piece she gave us. The duration of our lunch became increasingly uncomfortable as she shared her discontent with her colleagues, resulting in covert whispering and dirty looks from all serving staff. We were astounded that such a benign request was met with such a surly and indignant response, which was made even worse by it spreading to staff we'd had no contact with. All in all, a very unpleasant experience.

I use this coffee shop/cafe as a convenient meeting place for catching up with friends, or just for a coffee when visiting Cambourne. It serves excellent coffee of all varieties, and the cakes are scrumptious - I'm sure they are fattening but who can be bothered when they are so good!They also do great snacks - from toasted sandwiches to more exotic things, and they come well-presented and freshly prepared. The food preparation is all done at a bar in the corner of the coffee shop, so you can actually go and speak to the people preparing your food if you have some special order you want. The waitresses are attentive and always friendly, so you won't be kept waiting for anything.Seating outside under cover if you are a smoker or if the weather is warm - watch out for the mummies with the pushchairs, they can bruise your legs without bothering to try!

Best coffee in the local area! Staff are friendly and welcoming and recently came across and acoustic night here which just adds to its perks! Pop in for a visit - you won't be disappointed

Always delivers to a consistent standard, good quality food, good service and at a price that is around average for the local area.

We have eaten here as a family many times over the years and have never had a bad meal or experience. We've just come back from another lovely lunch today. The service is always friendly and attentive. Coffee is good. Most importantly, the food is great quality - it might initially appear on the pricey side, but the price is good value for the high quality of ingredients used. We've tried salads, toasted ciabattas, soup, antipasti board and nachos - all great and some nice inventive touches. The kids also like the little kiddies sandwich meal. It is so nice to have a great independent cafe in Cambourne (...and not another dreary Costa, Starbucks etc.). Greens is always busy when we are there and deservedly so. Highly recommended.

Lunch for our visiting daughter from New Zealand. Table booked - all ready - prompt service - great salads and a good range of hot dishes. Cakes interesting and sticky toffee pudding delicious but to be avoided by weight concerned. We all were happy including two rather picky youngsters. We eat there several times and are always satisfied. Worth a trip out into the wilds!.

We stayed in Cambourne for a few days for a family reunion. We went to Greens each morning for breakfast and they came up trumps. The food and coffee were great and the service excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful, special thanks to Ruby who was outstanding. I'm sure we shall visit Greens again on our next visit to Cambourne.

I tend to visit Greens regularly these days for both coffee and lunch. Always great service and happy to attempt new concoctions on request. Smoked chicken salads and ultimate toasties with a side of chilli jam are a must. Great place to sit when the sun is out too.

I had some time to kill waiting for my car to be serviced so decided to go for a walk around town. After soon realising that I needed some breakfast I decided to go to a nice looking cafe that had some chairs outside. I found this place and can say that it is one of the most pleasant places I have had breakfast. I had poached eggs on brown toast. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Runny yolk and firm whites. The bread that was toasted was toasted just right and the coffee was also pretty damn good. I have to admit. The service was the main contributing factor to why this has been given 5/5. The staff were all happy, smiley, funny and very pleasant. I was on my own and a waitress asked if I'd like a paper to keep me occupied. This was a very thoughtful touch and even though I declined the offer it was very much appreciated. Not one complaint. Which makes a change. I'm a miserable sod.

Visited Sunday lunchtime for snack after a six mile walk around cambourne with sentence other walkers,food and service was excellent we all sat outside in the sun.well worth a visit.

Proper coffees and super friendly service. Busy place, easy to see why. Easy parking at the nearby supermarket.

Yesterday afternoon my girlfriend & I experienced yet another amazing day at Greens. The staff are always polite and attentive.they really do go the extra mile no matter the day or request. We were met with a delightful lady who took our order and who then came straight back with 2 blankets incase of a chill.Both drinks were ice cold (perfect for a sunny day) & both my girlfriend and I ordered the special which is the grilled asparagus with crispy bacon & cheddar served with a well dressed salad.The food was outstanding! I have never had one issue and considering I've been to Greens over 40 times in the past year I'd say that's pretty amazing for an establishment to keep a consisted,happy and high quality service throughout the time.Whether you are a local resident or simply passing through,Greens is the place to go!The website is well updated & give great information on upcoming events along with food & drinks menu.I'd like to give my thanks to all of the team at Greens & I ensure you we will be back.Thank you very much.

Popped in with 2 freinds. Had lunch. Good is amazing. Staff are very welcoming lovely indoor and outdoor seating. Cakes are totally amazing. You must try them. Definatly worth a visit

Only wish this place opened more evenings. Great place to get a few drinks and some nibbles with friends. Staff are friendly and accommodating, service is great.

Very baby and child friendly. Excellent service and good food. Looking forward to returning and won't hesitate to recommend.

A young and helpful group of staff. Good quality food and coffee served. Family friendly. Popular pit-stop for local runners and cyclists

We've been coming to greens for years and I can honestly say it's one of the nicest coffee shops I've been too (& we go to a lot!) The cakes are gorgeous & staff very welcoming. Friday night drinkies are also fun & very enjoyable.

Have been here a few times for mid-morning tea and cakes. The service is fantastic and efficient. They are always smiling. There is a good mood in this place which rubs on to you. The cakes are delightful. They are also priced appropriately. We visited for lunch and I loved the ciabattas and the salad. There are certain days they open late for dinner I understand but needs prior booking. These days are advertised on their board and website. would certainly recommend for breakfast, lunch or just a hot drink with cakes..

Visited here for the first time today and had a very enjoyable experience very comfortable and welcoming cafe. Had a pot of tea and different cakes very yummy and reasonably priced. Will definitely come again after observing the lovely food being severed for lunch as we where leaving. Very nice place to take a friend or family member very nice staff too.

First time we have entered this place ,Lovely warm welcome by the waitresses .The Coffee was very very Good at only £2 a large Mug and nice Cake also.

Always head here on a Thursday morning. Good coffee and nice Cake however Cake is quiet costly and also quiet small to be honest.But it is still better than Costa up the road and it's kind of become a social hub of the village.But and there is always a but and that is it coils do with patio heaters now the weather is on the turn.

Great service with a smile; on a sunny day you can lap up the sunshine sitting outside. Wide choice of salads; ciabattas; sandwiches. Reasonable price breakfast, Kiddies meals-sandwich with crisps/ fruit or juice for just £2.75. Definitely a place to visit- but closes at 6pm !

I had a coffee to go, the staff were stand off ish (maybe I lived in the US too long), but after eye contact was made I had to ask to order. Ordered a soy late with sugar free flavour (no sugar free flavour/syrup was available), however I'm pretty sure due to my reaction this wasn't soy. I normally watch the Barista and stop them if they use the same jug, wrong milk or don't wipe and steam the milk nozzle, but I went to the restroom (it was clean and well situated away from seating), I came back and was politely remembered and given my coffee. So off I went with my weekend of cramps, pain and general discomfort. To play devil's advocate, one of my friends (who regularly house sits for me) loves this place, raves about it. She goes here whenever she house sits for us. I doubt I will return.

I go to greens regularly, excellent food and drink and very friendly staff, do loads for the community too, great job all round!

Had a business lunch here and both the food and the service was better than expected, so excellent for me. Fabulous milkshakes

My family and myself have been regular visitor of Greens from when it originally opened with the previous owners and continue to visit today.I have to fully admit that when the original owners left I was sceptical that the place would be the same but I have to admit that I believe it has actually got better!The food is always to a high standard with the best of ingredients, coffee is still just as nice but even more importantly the welcome you receive is even better! The new owners are so friendly and welcoming and the staff they have employed although most are relatively young they are fantastic.It's nice to be able to have a laugh with the staff and it is clear to see the staff are happy to be there, a clear credit to the management!To run a business like this is relentless and to see the two lovely owners in there day in day out since they took over has been amazing.Both of you and your lovely staff are a credit to your business!!

I went to greens today with a friend had a drink and cake in the coffee shop but was rather taken aback buy their abrupt attitude and manner it has been a long time since we previously went and will not be returning

This used to be a favourite but now it's gone down to its past.I normally enjoy there chocolate now I would say a £1.00 sara lee cake would be an improovement, at £3.00 a go it was a joke.The fruit smoothy was a joke , it never saw a piece of real fruit , just a fruit squash.If you value yoir pocket and taste buds go elsewhere and get the real thing and cheaper.This was one of my places for a little luxury occassionally now I go elsewhere.I do like a luxury now and again , this doesn't come into it.

We love coming here, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The lunches are delicious and the sweets and cakes are far too nice. Our children enjoy their hot chocolates and cookies after a week at school, it's their treat. Really enjoy the evenings that are laid on too. Great atmosphere

Friendly staff and one of the tastiest and most filling salads I've had! The food is great here and the music makes the atmosphere relaxed. I worked on my laptop all morning and got lots done thanks to the lovely environment.

Had a lovely lunch today. Really helpful staff and super quick service. Yummy food and the chilli jam is delicious. Had the smoked chicken salad and it ticked all the boxes

The coffee at Greens is very good and not expensive and the cafe is much pleasanter than Morrison's cafe next door. There is outdoor seating for both smokers and non-smokers. From the menu the food seems fresh using good ingredients although I was too early for lunch. I shall be back to sample it.

I wrote a while ago that the coffee had gone downhill so I wanted to report again that it has really improved since then. However I visited last Sunday and they were playing rap music and songs with explicit lyrics. I was with family, so this wasn't great and also spoiled the atmosphere. They usually play folky, chilled guitar tracks, which is really nice. Funny how the whole impression can change with the wrong music. Ask the staff were standing around the counter chatting together and the boss didn't seem to be around. Service wasn't terrible, having said that, but the atmosphere was quite intimidating and would put me off. The manager is really friendly and the place seemed different without her there.

I come here regularly with friends and our babies and we are always warmly welcomed, even with all our parafinalia! The food is always tasty. I love the toasted sandwiches (well priced) and the salad dressing is awesome! Can't recommend this place enough, Cambourne needs more places like this!

Really enjoyed my salad, it was fresh and varied and the chicken was lovely too. Nice atmosphere and staff. Definitely recommend.

Good food, good service and really good atmosphere, popped in on a Saturday afternoon. It was full although service was extremely efficient and the food and drinks excellent!

Love the food,lovely hosts,welcoming laid back atmosphere.all the staff are very attentive. Love the fact that the owners employ the young people of Cambourne. One of the best things about living in Cambourne. We go there all the time. Great for a glass of wine and a wind down. Always someone to chat to and I would highly recommend.

Really friendly and lovely people, good service and always remembers the regulars. Love that it is waitress service with no real waiting time.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough, it perfectly serves the Cambourne community with the best freshly prepared food and divine cakes plus coffee that gives the biggest brands a run for their money!For us, it is a fabulous family friendly venue and the service from the whole team is always first class. We are made to feel welcome every time as soon as we set foot in the door :)Our favourites? Granola & Greek Yoghurt, Soups, Smoked Chicken Salad and Carrot & Orange or Angel Cake!

Greens has all the ingredients to be a lovely place to go and relax... The only problem is the staff!! I went in with a group of friends and we went strait to the counter to order our drinks.. Our first mistake.. The young girl behind the counter looked at us as if we had done something wrong and then in a very unwelcoming manor said "it's waitress service" and told us to sit down, so not the warm welcome we had hoped for. So anyway we sat down and then waited for quite a while for the waitress to come over and we placed our order. We asked for a slight variation in one of our orders due to my friends allergy... This did not go down well, the waitress rolled her eyes huffed and said she'd have to go and check with the manager. I watched as she went to ask what I assume was the manager, (a tall lady) she too rolled her eyes and to my horror swore out loud by this time I was ready to leave never to return again but we decided to stick it out after all we where quite intrigued to see what else might happen if we dared to ask another question. There was also a family with a couple of young children making a noise on another table we noticed they where not receiving kind looks either so if you have young children you might want to make sure there willing to remain silent :/.. On the plus side the food was quite nice but overall the experience was ruined by how unwelcome we felt.

I went to visit my niece last month and on arrival she mentioned about us going out that evening to her local coffee shop , she explained that they were having an open mike night where people go along put there name down and when it's there turn they get up and sing I live in London and had never been to an event like this so was a bit sceptical ! WELL I'm so glad we went , they have a licence and we had a few glasses of wine some delicious nachos and had a fantastic evening . The owners and staff could not of been lovelier , on arrival there was not anywhere for us to sit so we sat outside but Pauline kept an eye out and as soon as a table became free she nabbed it for us . My niece was up next morning popped to Greens to get us both a great coffee .So thank you ladies I thoroughly enjoyed my evening and can't wait to come back this month for the next one , but whatever you do ,don't let me sing eekk !!

Just had another fantastic evening at Greens. Not overly crowded but still a great atmosphere. The owners and staff as friendly and attentive as usual with the same great food for this type of evening. It's a pity they only open twice a month in the evening as this is the perfect place to unwind. Looking forward to the next time!

Wonderful evening spent with friends at Greens. Staff always pleasant and welcoming and the wine and nibbles were fabulous X

Had a great children's option, but my daughter wanted something else - they couldn't have been more helpful, making a smaller serving just for her. Also good to be able to have a glass of wine with my meal...and fabulous hot chocolate afterwards!

My family constantly hears greens at the crack of dawn and late at night emptying their bottle bins, why they have to do this at 6am and at 11pm is beyond me. They also have late night Thursday's and often leave their back door open with live music playing, which keeps everyone up. As a local business this is really quite inconsiderate.The coffee is okay but a little overpriced. Their pastries are bought from morrisons which sits behind them. The staff have always been quick with their service but the girls are fairly young and come across as quite judgemental.

This is a good place for a coffee and a snack/lunch - good choices of food and efficient and friendly staff - well worth a visit

pleasant place for casual afternoon tea or coffee anytime polite and attentive staff pleasant surroundings artwork on walls suitable for relaxation

Used to come here quite often for coffee but something has happened lately and the coffee isn't what it uses to be. Milk is too hot and coffee is bitter... It's a shame because it puts me off going there now. Staff are mostly friendly but today I waited around for quite a while before anyone served me. Hope it's not going downhill because it's a nice cafe and the food is wonderful.

Lovely little coffee shop with seating al fresco as well as inside. The coffee is lovely and there is a fairly good type variety, cappucino americano etc. Also do a good variety of cold drinks as well as food and home made cakes. I would recommend the Carrot Cake. The owner and staff are very friendly and table service at weekends is very good. A friendly busy wee coffee shop that I will sat definitely worth a visit. I will be going back often.

I have been coming to Cambourne to visit friends for years but this was the first time that we could meet up elsewhere than the pub which was a nice welcome!The coffee shop is bright and airy and the staff very friendly.The food menu had great choices with good quality food and table service.They also offer evening themed entertainments and serve alcohol so a great new venue to go out to!

I like Greens . Cake is nice ,free wifi and seats outside if weather is nice . Also serves a nice cold bottle of Becks Blue ,which is always welcome to a non - drinking lager lover like me

At last something good in cambourne. Great choice of fresh food, clean & good service. Love the fact you can get a decent glass of wine (if your in the mood) not at silly prices. Thanks for your hard work Dan & Debs x
