Marmalade & Jam in East Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I was wondering down the high street and saw a queue of people waiting to enter, that is always a good sign. I went back when the queue was shorter and it was worth the wait. The room is nicely laid out, there is enough room to feel comfortable, while packing in the most tables possible. the menu is modest but has a good variety, and a quick look at the plates shows nice portions of food, well presented. I opted for the Huge Sausage role and the Apple pie, both looked very tasty; looks were not disappointing, they both tasted very nice. It was so good, that I went back the next day and the food was equally good. They make hot chocolate via a machine and the premade chocolate powder contains some wheat/soya, so if you are allergic it is probably not for you, but if you are intolerant then it is ok and it does taste nice. The staff where friendly, helpful, very well informed of allergy issues.

What a great find. Lovely atmosphere, great scones, wonderful owner, Joann, who makes everyone feels so welcome and you leave thinking you have made a new friend!

Absolutely lovely little place! I had a cream tea and it was the best scone I've ever had! My company had a brie toastie and bakewell tartes that they all loved! The service was fantasti and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful! I will definitely go again and I will tell everyone I know to come here when they visit Ely

We were looking for lunch after 3pm and found this lovely cafe. We had a salad and every item was fresh and delicious. We were given a hot baguette. All the food was served promptly. The ladies serving us were friendly and chatty. It was conveniently near to Ely Cathedral.

Great find, the food is delicious and great value. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit here!

Have been in there several times. Every time we go in, it's a lovely atmosphere. The food and service is excellent. The staff are amazing

Lovely small cafe with very friendly staff. This was our second visit - both times on cold and rather damp days. Dogs are welcomed.

We’d visited Marmalade and Jam on a previous visit to Ely and enjoyed it so much, so made a beeline for it on arrival, after journeying from our home. Nothing has changed thank goodness. Still the friendly welcome, easy ordering and delicious food. My favourite is the large scone with a cuppa . Slices of Stilton, tomato chutney, butter, yes, it was scrumptious and set us up for a relaxing day, visiting the market and attending a piano recital in the cathedral. We drove home feeling great. We look forward to visiting Marmalade and Jam in the not to distant future.

Popped into this cafe for lunch as was on a day out at Ely. We needed somewhere dog friendly. This was absolutely lovely! Friendly welcome as we stepped in, the staff/ owners were very attentive and made a big fuss of Poppy. She even got a dog buffet of cheese, ham and a Puppachino, which she devoured. I had a Picky Bits off the menu, which I’ve never seen on a lunch menu before. Was very nice, a bit like a ploughman’s. Will definitely be back next time we are in Ely to sample the scones. Good value as well.

Our first but not last visit to Ely, what a golden nugget we found with this small business tea shop. Service was excellent, food was tasty, dinks were great, will definitely call in again next time we are in the area.

We were given a warm welcome at this lovely cafe. The staff were excellent and helpful. We can highly recommend the cheese scones and the sausage rolls.

Excellent food and a very warm welcome! This place is exactly what one would like to see in a tea shop but very rarely find. The tea was delicious as were the amazing scones. I would so recommend this place!

Nice and compact little cafe with just seven tables available. Judging by the amount of people that turned up, peered through the door, saw that it was full and walked away this is truly a gem of a place. Good fast friendly service and the tables were cleared and cleaned down as soon as they became vacant. Chunky sausage roll with chutney and a ham, cheese & red onion toasty, washed down with a cappuccino and latte were our choices. A rare find of bread pudding for dessert was (no pun intended) the icing on the cake.

Called in to Ely on a coach trip to Cromer. We walked up the high street and came across this lovely little cafe. I had a lovely warm sausage roll with chutney which was delicious and other members of the family had a toasty which came with crisps and side salad which I was told was delicious to. Very clean cafe and plenty staff and I was impressed with the way the lady cleaned the table by spraying her cloth first and not spraying the table.👍👍

Our first visit to Ely, found this great cafe, small, (7 tables) However big friendly welcome. Excellent lunch, and Merlin enjoyed his Puppaccino. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I found this gem by accident and what a lucky find it was. We were greeted with friendly welcoming smiles. The chef had just baked some fresh cheese scones and the aroma was to much to resist. I ordered one with a chunk of cheddar and homemade chutney to accompany it. My wife has a huge slice of carrot cake and we also enjoyed a super pot of tea. The cafe was spotless and well lit. The staff were brilliant. The only drawback is if you do not like dogs it is dog friendly

Visited on September 22nd and had the most amazing mega hot chocolate. Place is absolutely beautiful and had friendly staff.

Just looking around for a bite to eat when visiting Ely, mainly for the Cathedral, when we stepped into “Marmalade and Jam”. Whow, how lucky can one get. The welcome was so friendly and the food was scrumptious. We both had the scones, mine a gigantic cheese scone with butter plus Stilton cheese and tomatoe chutney. My wife had a normal cream tea. A nice pot of tea to wash it down. The staff are so friendly and attentive we may have to make more that one visit per year to one of our favourite places. Long may this wonderful cafe keep going.

What a lovely wee find. We had lunch at Marmalade & Jam on 29th Aug. Cosy, welcoming environment with lovely food & staff too. We didn't have the gorgeous looking homemade scones this time but plan a return visit soon with my in-laws . The tearoom Is a stone's throw away from the beautiful Ely Cathedral and,situated in the heart of the local shops . Perfect place to stop for a bite to eat & relax before a bit more sightseeing & shopping.

Lovely chunky sandwiches, a huge pot of tea (in a proper teapot with a cup and saucer) and delicious scones that were crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Quite small inside and clearly a very popular spot as very busy. Would happily return.

This has got to be one of the best stops for scones ever. Staff are amazingly friendly. Scones are mind blowingly good. Always stop here when we come to Ely

A few mins walk from the West Door of the Cathedral, situated on the high street with the bright red canopy making it obvious, tables inside plus 2 on the pavement, v friendly meet and greet, we ate cheese scone with Stilton and chutney, toasted tea cake and a piece of deep apple pie with cream, huge portions and v v tasty, reasonably priced. It was a super afternoon tea and we will revisit. Many thanks.

I had the homemade apple pie with fresh thick cream with a fruit tea it was so tasty my husband had a toasted tea cake with strawberry jam with a latte. The service was excellent and great banter from the waitress was brilliant it was a first time here but when in Ely again it will be a definite visit.

A terrific little tearoom with very personable and efficient staff. The sandwiches we had were as good as any we had ever eaten in a cafe and the cake desserts were also excellent. I couldn't fault anything in terms of quality or service.

We found this lovely little tearoom today on our short stop in Ely. Can’t rate it highly enough. The food and service was top notch. Can’t wait to return.

We popped in for a quick coffee and cake. The food was fantastic and we were made to feel at home. The raspberry tart was particularly good as was the lemon tart.
