Norfolk Street Bakery in Cambridge

Best coffee in Cambridge and the food is great.

Cosy bakery, lots of breads and baked sweets to choose from. Espresso machine for take away coffee. They have a couple of bar stools but no other seating

Such a lovely bakery and cafe, I regularly visit and the drinks and baked goods are wonderful and reasonably priced. Much better than visiting one of the chain coffee shops! I love the Pastel de nata :)

Proper old fashioned bakery had a hot cross bun which was absolutely delicious highly recommend

Lovely little cafe/bakery. They have unique items and the staff are really pleasant. Always a good service

Lovely bakery with a cosy atmosphere, friendly owners and good price for the food. Lovely mille feuille just lacking some volume.

I bought a tuna sandwich which, when opened for lunch, had nothing in it! Two slabs of bread!

The best Pastel de nata's in Cambridge!

Over on holiday from NZ , we discovered and made much use of this little gem of a bakery in Cambridge. Their savory and sweet items are delicious and well priced. The staff are very friendly.

Amazing food and great cosy spot for lunch. Delicious traditional Portuguese snacks. The pastel de nata was really good - crispy and creamy!

Dangerously good pastries and tarts. Well worth a visit for a snack or a sandwich.

Came here just an hour before closing time. Tried the peanut butter brownie. The chocolate was thick and decadent.

This small, Portuguese-influenced bakery has some unusual offerings. Liked the coconut macrons, danish pastries, while the fruited bun was slightly too dry. The Portuguese tarts should be interesting. Updated with savoury vegetarian pastries, also good. Prices a slightly lower than most other bakeries, and service is always friendly.

Expected better… was underwhelmed by the pear tart and the coffee was mediocre. But I see here someone posted an apricot tart—and I love those—so I may come back to try one at some point.

Always a great experience. Great latte, sandwich and muffin. Great service and amazing bread. Loaf was meant to last the weekend: it didn't make it past lunch 😉

Amazing authentic Portuguese bakery, with freshly baked goods. Both sweet and savoury pastry are amazing, great to take some home with you have guest. They also have some Portuguese grocery products that they sell in store.

Stopped by on a cold January morning. Snug spot with several tables in the back. Friendly counter person. Had a sandwich and some cake. All wonderful.

Excellent bakery. I love fresh coffee muffins.

My son loves the chocolate cookies. Good quality and range of baked goods. The coffee is good as well.

Great local bakery. Fantastic bread, tasty Portuguese pastries 🥧.

A nice selection of Portuguese treats. I enjoyed the nata and the 'Portuguese cheesecakes'. The place is small, family run and has 'real bread'. Looked to be Portuguese products available in-store too. Parking outside is permit holders only. Definitely visit and support this independent bakery.

Today the experience was very poor, not the usual standard. As I arrived 2 minutes before opening time team members was clearly not happy and rude

We dropped in for a quick snack on our way from the station and were created by a lovely selection of Portuguese pastries. We enjoyed a coconut brioche and a prune and porto brownie accompanied by great coffee. If we lived locally we would definitely be regulars!

We came in for a coffee only although the pastries looked amazing. I had a flat white coffee which was delicious and importantly not too milky.

I arrived just as they were opening on a Thursday morning, the brownies were being laid out...oh my god, the chocolate orange brownie absolutely sinful. It was so moist and the orange flavouring was perfect, not overpowering. Definitely will be going back.

Superb homemade bakery! Prices that beat all you can find in the area.

Delicious sandwiches, excellent sausage rolls (best I’ve ever had), and plenty of vegetarian options!

This is a gem of a bakery. The bread I bought was still so fresh the following day! So many delicious pastries I'm glad I was visiting for the day!

Completely brilliant, Portuguese-run bakery, with super sandwiches, pastries, and desserts. It's only a small place but it won't disappoint.

Some of the best pastries in Cambridge. The mille feuille is to die for.

You can't go wrong with this little slice of Portugal in Cambridge. The coffee is strong, the pastries delicious and fresh.

The young women in the shop is definitely annoying, she can’t understand English properly and being arrogant, hope the manager of the shop could looking into it!

A lovely little bakery with friendly staff and a lot of different cakes to choose from! The brownies especially are very tasty, but they have plenty on offer. They also sell toasties and various other goods and hot drinks. Well worth a visit to support an independent bakery, and I would recommend them.

Best local bakery, good variety of bread , sweet and savoury bakes. Serves coffee and also sells eggs and some special pantry items.

Excellent cakes, staff is very friendly.

Muy buena pastelería y panadería, es muy pequeña, hay 2 ó 3 taburetes para sentarte a probar su café y pasteles. También hacen un pan fabuloso. Está atendido por unas señoritas muy muy amables. Recomiendo a todos visitarla. Very good pastry and bakery, it is very small, there are 2 or 3 stools to sit down to taste their coffee and cakes. They also make fabulous bread. It is attended by very very friendly ladies. I recommend everyone to visit it. Muito boa pastelaria e padaria, é muito pequena, tem 2 ou 3 calçadas para se sentar e provar o seu café e bolos. Eles também fazem pão fabuloso. É dirigido por senhoras muito, muito amigáveis. Recomendo a todos que o visitem.

This small and friendly bakery is definitely the best I've tried the staff are very friendly the food is amazing I've tried a few different things there now and loved everything I would highly recommend this wonderful bakery to everyone thanks guys.

My sister & I visited the Norfolk St Bakery having just visited our Aunt in a nearby care home. We were late & they were closing imminently but the lady very kindly let us sit & enjoy tea & cakes. It was a difficult day for us but the lady couldn’t have been kinder. Thoroughly recommend & thanks again.

Best pasta del natas in Cambridge for sure ! I am yet to try the sandwiches but they look very tasty. Some vegan options too. I'd say everything is reasonably priced too.

Lovely pastries, breads and sandwiches, and such a simple and beautiful setting. Portuguese specialities but they do gluten-free, and some classics as well.

Tucked away on a side street in Cambridge, amazing range of sweet treats as well as breads. Fantastic.

Amazing service thank you. We loved the special order gluten free birthday cake. Beautifully made and delicious.

My partner and I have recently moved a few doors down from this beautiful bakery. I feel like we would have been two of its best customers if we hadn’t already set guidelines and limits for visiting. I also believe we would have been twice the size and very poor if we didn’t set these limits. This is a great place to indulge and spend your cash. Sweet and savoury. Another delight of this bakery is the fresh bread aroma that I can smell every time I set off for work. This is shows how fresh their produce is.

Found this little bakery accidentally during a wander round the less popular areas of Cambridge. Beautifully presented cakes, pastries, sandwiches etc. Delicious breads, original and tasty fillings and a lovely ambience. Staff were genuinely friendly and thoughtful. Highly recommended and worth a little stroll.

Adilia's Norfolk Street Bakery is a real gem. Everything is made fresh daily at the bakery. The sourdough bread is amazing!

I live around the corner of Norfolk Street bakery and do love the idea of popping round in the morning to grab some bread and other nibbles. It's pricier than the supermarket but that's ok as it's a treat and nice to support local business.I always feel it's a shame the lady is so moody and often quite rude. The baked goods are otherwise nice and of a reasonable standard. I would recommend it but be prepared for service without a smile!

Salí pronto de mi hostal rumbo a la estación de tren cuando vi esta cafetería, con mucho encanto, a la que decidí entrar por la buena pinta de los bollos y galletas del escaparate. El café con leche y un bollo de canela bastante grande me costaron 5 libras, sin duda bastante mejor que en otras cafeterías. Recomendado.

Good bread but a bit expensive... the cakes are not always very good and the owner is not very friendly

We've been going to Adilia's bakery for a while now (4 years) and have enjoyed her maize and honey broa, veggie puff pastries, veggie sandwiches (hummus and roast veg is my fav), sourdough, tomato foccacia and the various types of qeijada. Last year, I was at a birthday party and the host mentioned that they also did birthday cakes. I usually bake these myself but for a recent event, I didn't have much time and dropped in to see if Adilia could help. She was very happy to at fairly short notice (3 days) and left us with 20 very happy guests. The cost of the cake being lower than M&S and other bakeries meant we could spend the money on 6 boxes of fresh summer berries, all of which went down a treat. We are very grateful to Adilia and her team for the cake and taking the stress out of our party. Please see picture for the pretty cake !

An excellent range of pastries, sweet and savoury, and wonderful fresh bread. You can also get coffee and sandwiches, though there are not many seats. This shop is worth finding.

Se trata de un pequeño local, que vende pan artesano, dulces y productos portugueses. Tiene un pequeño comedor para desayunar y tomar café. Desayunamos pasteles y bocadillo de jamón, café y te. Todo correcto con una buena relación calidad-precio. El local tiene cierto encanto.

We popped in both before and after a visit to the David Parr House. Very good sandwiches and pies and excellent custard tarts. Coffee good too.

Location: in station road in Cambridge close to the train stationAtmosphere: the place looks dated. It needed a proper re-decoration 10 years ago.Service: friendly staffFood and drink: I was happy with my cake and coffee.Summary: overall it is a good-very good place for students, but don’t have high expectations for the interior design.

I walked past this bakery at lunch time and saw lots of great looking goodies and a massive queue. After cursing myself for having eaten already, I still went in to buy a small portuguese custard tart. Oh my, deliciousness in itself!!

The food is fantastic and the pricing is cheap. I don't know how they do it, but it means I can keep coming back. I really could eat here every day. The chorizo rolls are perfect for £1.50 and the brie and brisket panini is another must try.

A wonderful change from all the chain cafés by Cambridge station -worth the walk rather than getting standard chains and supporting the local (?). The breads, pizza, sweets amazingly good and good value. The customer service also very good and staff very friendly. Small seating area, but perfect for a little break if you find a space. Keep it up!

Small bakery, with high quality food. I bought a loaf of bread that had just been baked, and a wonderful soft brioche. Broad selection of products, I definitely want to try other sweets as well as bread. Price convenient for the quantity and the quality.

This is the best bakery in Cambridge. The rye and sourdough loaves are particularly special, and make the perfect soldiers for your boiled egg. For those with a sweet tooth the custard pasteries are things of wonder.

This shop has been a bakers since 1868 and us local folk were worried it might be lost but it's become a much loved place not just for treats but for essential bread and gorgeous coffee and chocolate. It's one of the best things about Cambridge and I visit often.

The croissant I had was not soft and fluffy. Instead, it was dense and difficult to chew. The hot chocolate was too sweet.

就在街的一旁，小小的咖啡室，提供美味的咖啡之餘，更有美味的包點及甜品。在遊覽完之後，正是一個休息的好地方。除了食物的補充，更可好好地坐一會。

Had a chipolata roll with rocket and custard tarts. Delicious tarts. Very friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

I use the new shop on Station Road. It is small but wonderful. Great coffee, great food and lovely, helpful smiley staff. Somewhere I’m going to go to whenever I’m in town. Has gluten free cakes.

This small bakery / café offers a selection of tasty fresh breads, pastries and cakes as well as a selection of delicacies in tins and packets. I discovered tomato jam which is really nice on fresh bread. The custard tarts reminded me of a great holiday in Lisbon.

I've been to the one in Norfolk Street, but the new one on Station road is great. The sandwiches are really good - the battered fish one especially. I also like their toasted sandwiches / ciabatas - but beware that they've been toasted enough!The coffee is nice and full bodied.The "bacon roll" which is a small roll with cooked bacon baked inside is a good value and tasty breakfast.The service can be a bit slow when busy, but quality is worth the wait!

As a regular visitor to the city I have walked past this bakery many times. I recall it being closed for a time. I have been to the shop three times since December and each time bought Portuguese egg tarts.While still warm they at least on a par with those I have bought in Belem Lisbon. Even two is not quite enough. Super bread and pieces of cake also. Don't walk past on your way from the station.

Visiting the city and stayed in a chain hotel but fancied something different for breakfast. This is an amazing bakery with a few seats to eat in. We ate out, delicious pastries with light flaky pastry, yummy custards, chocolate muffin and cinnamon flavoured angel cake. Can't wait to go back.

This place is amazing. You can get the most scruffy bread and pastries in Cambridge. A lovely bakery

This is a small bakery! The bread is delusions and it tastes like homemade! One can find a big variety of cakes, meringues, bread cakes, sandwiches, ham & cheese pies, gluten-free bread, pastries and snacks. You can also find ingredients for cooking such as rise, olives, tomato paste, pasta etc. The best selling product in my opinion are the Portuguese Custard Tarts! I am buying at least 10 tarts every time I visit! You should go and find out yourselves! You won’t regret it at all!

Esta pastelaria é excelente. adorei. a simpatia, o atendimento, a qualidade dos produtos. muito bom mesmo. Senti orgulho nos Portugueses que mostram alem fronteiras que sabem produzir produtos com qualidade e divulgam a gastronomia portuguesa.Parabens

I don't know how many of them I've eaten in the last few months... my boss keeps bringing them from time to time because she knows I'm completely addicted to them! Definitely a guilty pleasure in Cambridge :) The staff is super friendly, the food homemade, and if you need a sandwich... they will prepare it for you at the same moment! Fresher bakery in Cambridge!

Had to get something for a birthday party last minute, did it quick turn around and literally the best brownies I've ever had! So helpful, reasonably priced and amazing!

I bought bread twice there, and both times it was very delicious. If I'd stayed in Cambridge longer, I'd buy bread only here.

Flying visit to try the famous Portugese tarts and I wasn't disappointed! Sourdour loaf was amazing too... will visit again.

My wife and I go here sometimes on a Saturday for a treat. They have a lot of great cakes, tasty sandwiches, but my favourite thing is definitely the pork rissoles. Consistently good every time you go!

We come here occasionally to have their delicious pastries. Portuguese custard tarts are really good and we always get a few, but other things we tried were great too.

Popped in on the way back from work. Had a delicious sucking pig ciabatta with citrus mayo. The bread was so fresh and so soft it was like chewing a cloud.The pastel de nata was sublime. Lucky locals to have such a delicious bakery on their doorstep

Situata in una di quelle stradine di Cambridge che si somigliano incredibilmente tra loro.Abbiamo comprato più volte il pane: veramente molto buono.La persona che serve, suppongo la titolare, non è un granché affabile e sorridente.Probabilmente avrà una grande nostalgia dei colori e del clima portoghese.Infatti il locale mostra in vendita molti prodotti portoghesi: tutti invitanti, così come l'ampia varietà di dolci presenti nelle vetrinette.Il prezzo del pane un po' caro... Ma credo sia un elemento comune alle panetterie inglesi.

They do other things too, but always like going when I have a sweet tooth. Thru supply a number of local cafes too. Staff are lovely.

This little bakery has a lot of Portuguese bakes, as well as the usual beads that you find in the UK. All the things I had over time were delicious, but the pasteis de nata (custard tarts) are a must. Some of the best I've had, even ordered them for my wedding.For people looking for some other Portuguese goods, they have a limited selection, but if you ask Adilia, she might just make it happen.

I needed a bakery for a special event and found this one via the internet. They were very helpful over the phone and efficient when I collected my order. It was then that I realized what a treasure this bakery is. The range of breads,pastries etc was fantastic,the quality- brilliant!!.I would make it my regular if I lived near by,would recommend to anyone in the area

Es una equeña panadería, pastelería y cafetería portuguesa donde se puede desayunar un buen café con bollería y comprar muy buen pan. El sitio es muy pequeño y hay una barrita donde caben 4 personas sentadas. Los trabajadores son portugueses y con muy buena atención al cliente. Es muy afamado en Cambridge y aparece con muy buenas críticas en diversos medios. Los domingos cierran. ¡Ah se me olvidaba! puedes hablarles en español.

Best bread and pastries I have ever had! The ladies are friendly and if you go in the morning then the bread is fresh out of the oven and still warm! One of the best things about living in Cambridge!

One of our Cambridge highlights.Adilia recommended her Portuguese custard tarts, and indeed, they were outstanding. Between the four of us, we tried a variety of treats on multiple visits; everything was consistently excellent.The bakery seemed to be popular with neighborhood folks, and parents/children from the nearby school.Worth the walk, even in cool, rainy weather!

Important choice of reads of any kind. Baguette available and good.Other breads f good quality as weel as good pastries

Unassuming but delightful small bakery near the Grafton area. Carries some traditional Portiguese as well as more british items, all made in house. Well worth the visit.

We were living in the area and were told about this place to buy bread. It's been our bakery since then. We were as tired of the Sainsbury breads as the Whiterose ones and all of us fell in love with their breads, not so much of their cakes.

Amazing food and friendly service. I have recommended this place to my work colleagues. The food is so fresh and authentic. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for quality and a reasonable price

Gorgeous Portuguese bakery - the pastries and toasted sandwiches are amazing. Very good value for the quality - transports you to a quiet village in Portugal!

This is a friendly place with great bread and delicious pastries. The take-away sandwiches are yummy and good value

I've tried their coffee, their bread, their sandwiches, their savory items and their tarts. Everything has been great! The pastel de nata are amazing!

Should go here more often, but then that might be dangerous. The pastries and bread are all the best I've found in Cambridge and pretty good value. It is Portuguese/Brazilian in style so expect interesting tarts and cakes as well as more conventional breads.

Amazing food, mainly Portuguese. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. The price is surprisingly cheap to what you are buying. Definitely worth the money

Although my visits are largely for bread the cakes are also excellent. Genuine Portuguese style mixed with a friendly welcome make this a real asset for the locals and foreign visitors to the area. There is always a temptation to walk to Mill Road for slightly cheaper produce but I think most people who can will pay the extra for quality. Try the sourdoughs for starters. Then a mini beef roll. And, of course, the custard tarts - pasteis de nata.

I have been going to this bakery for my bread for a while now. No matter what bread I buy it is always sooooo good. The sourdough is the best I have ever eaten. The owner is so nice and there are a huge selection of cakes and savouries. Beautiful sandwiches as well.

Visited Norfolk Street Bakery on a recent trip to Cambridge. Bought Portuguese Custard Tarts, Orange Cake, Chicken Pies, Suckling Pig Rissoles and Bread. All were absolutely fabulous, just wished we lived closer to Cambridge.

This is a great bakery. The pastel de natas are as good as any I have eaten in Portugal (and I have done extensive research). The sandwiches and bread are excellent too.

This is a Portugese bakery and the owners revived this place, which was also a bakery in it's previous life. Now, you can get fantastic sourdough bread (both wheat and rye), which was very difficult in Cambridge! And the custard tarts are to die for! Also, reasonable prices make me very happy student bunny :)

Nice place, good fayre but unfortunately nowhere to sit to enjoy and relax. Will visit again though to buy more cakes!

Beautiful little bakery, fresh and light, with friendly staff selling excellent food. We had two pastels de nata which were incredibly tasty, as were the pear tart and apple pastry. Could not have asked for better from a gorgeous little local business.
