Rockabilly coffe shop in Huntingdonshire

Amazing food excellent service highly recommend this place to anyone left the place very full and satisfied lovely café

The food and hospitality was good. But sitting in the courtyard was most unpleasant for myself, but mainly my children. The absolutely foul language (the very worst!! ) being shouted out from someone in the neighbouring tattoo shop was cringley disturbing. I do hope the owner of Rockabillies finds a way of addressing this issue. Sadly I can never return nor recommend.

Fantastic hidden gem. We had veggie toasties- hummus, falafel, onion chutney and rocket, delicious! My partner had an avocado one and the kids a chicken and a cheese toastie. Lovely bread, great coffee and fresh as can be. V friendly service, seating outside.

picked up a piece of cake a few times, which were alwasy moist and very tasty. Service very friendly.

Interesting little place tucked in the little corner of the small market place. I liked the unusual one off design. Sandwiches and coffees are nice too, good quick service. Good competition for all these boring 'starbucks' chains.

Uniquely styled coffee shop serving delicious cakes and decent coffee. Friendly staff and good Covid safe procedures.

An excellent little cafe, tucked away in a shopping mews. Well worth seeking out.A wonderful menu of freshly made sandwiches and homemade cakes. The coffee is very good too!One of my son's first ports of call when home from University, what better recommendation does it need.

Great coffee and fabulous homemade cakes, plus an excellent sandwich/grilled sandwich menu that you just won't find anywhere else. My go-to cafe when I'm in town.

It's tucked away. It's small. It's good value and good food. So I should keep it a secret! Friendly owner, nice cakes and good sandwiches.

Very nice and friendly, the place is hidden away in a quaint place. It has a lounge upstairs and a cafe downstairs.... and seating outside

Came here a while back to thought I would bring some mates here it's a lovely place to have a drink and eat we all had sandwiches they were lovely would recommend this place

Great food and service. Great if you want to sit in and eat or take away. Very tasty selection of sandwiches, panini and home made cakes!

Whenever we visit we are always greeted with a smile, whoever’s serving. Food is cooked fresh and has a good range of choices. Amazing cakes for afters as well. Definitely go and try there, you won’t be disappointed.

I just love this place. I always have the same dish and it never disappoints. Also have taken my baby in there on occasions and they always open the door for me and make room for the pram even when it’s jam packed with people! A hidden gem!

Popped in for a cup of tea. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere where we could sit and drink without feeling pressured to leave. Good range of sandwiches, etc but only a limited selection of cakes. That said they were happy to split one slice between two. Really nicely priced and I like this place far better than anywhere else in St Ives.

I have used this hidden gem before. It is tucked away from the road, so not ideal for a few cyclists as storage of bikes nearby is limited. But solo riders or pairs it is ideal.The menu is quite good, Mainly sandwiches Toasties and Breakfast/brunches.The meals I have had have always been freshly cooked, good quality and good value for money.Although there is a menu, meal variation requests are usually catered for by the friendly owner.

Great value , very friendly independent cafe. Fresh prepared and good choice of snacks / salads /cakes etc, dog friendly just off high street well worth looking for.

Great food and good selection. and really friendly staff. Love the music and the way the place is decorated. Very 50’s

Visited again for a little lunch, very friendly staff and the atmosphere priceless, had to write another review because it’s still a great place to get some good food. Greetings from Germany 👍

Great coffee and good choice of home made cakes and freshly made sandwiches A lovely cafe to meet friends and family which we do regularly

Went there with my lady, it took us a while to find this little gem but it was well worth it, the sandwich freshly made, the staff friendly and you get something for your buck!

This little tucked away cafe serves a great range of sandwiches with very generous fillings ,a cosy place ,a warm welcome and deserves a better location . It's always full with customers who return . Cosy settees upstairs ,a lovely clean bathroom and a couple of tables outside . The only place that makes better coronation chicken than mine !!!

The grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing and the menu changes often. Great coffee and friendly staff

Found this place by accident as it kind of hidden away up a small alley. Great sandwiches available freshly made. Good quality coffee Nice quirky place with 1950s memorabilia on the walls. Nice prices

Tucked away in a little alley, very small but quirkily decorated - if you like Marilyn Monroe you'll love the upstairs room! Five or so tables downstairs and outside, big sofas upstairs. Great selection of sandwiches, and they are good two, hand-made on the spot. Great find.

A favourite place to stop by for a coffee or lunch. All food is freshly prepared to order & served with a welcoming smile.

Tucked away in a small courtyard this is a great find! Fantastic real homemade cakes some gluten free. Good coffee and a reasonable selection of milks. Staff that actually smile and make you feel welcome makes such a difference.

Lo recomiendo encarecidamente si estás buscando un pequeño lugar peculiar con un ambiente agradable. Tienen una buena selección de sandwiches, ensaladas, agradable y deliciosos pasteles recién hechos. Puedes encontrar gluten, platos vegetarianos y otras cosas que son realmente saludables y deliciosas:) excelente café y todo eso en los precios asequibles. Me encanta pasar tiempo con mis amigos.

En un callejón y aparentemente alejado, vale la pena Rockabilly buscando. Una cálida bienvenida y a pesar de estar muy ocupado, un servicio rápido, nuestro bocadillos y bebidas eran de una calidad excelente y también de inmediato. Los clientes de rockabilly incluyen un montón de gente, así que debe ser un buen regularmente. Los precios son razonables. Están bien vale la pena una visita.

Best kept little secret in town, just love this haven, small but very welcoming and the food is so fresh and tasty

Small cafe with excellent snacks, cakes and drinks. Homemade goods and owner is really pleasant and helpful.

Good selection of freshly brewed coffeeGood selection of fresh cakes and dessertsGood choice of lunch items e.g. Panini, sandwich, etc

I went here for coffee and a sandwich, the sandwich was delicious. the bread is fresh and there is such a wide selection of choice for lunch. The cakes are home made and the ladies are very friendly. It is only a small cafe so once there are a few of you in it is rather cramped but we stayed quite a long time and did not feel we had to rush our lunch. Definitely worth a visit

I love love love this little cafe! The service is brilliant, the cakes ,sandwiches and coffee are sublime and so so cheap! I go here often and it's always good! The owner and her staff are so friendly, kind and accommodating.(Even when rushed off their feet!) I have written a previous review but wanted to write another to say it is as good now as it was when I started going a few years back. Well done to all of you!

Rockabilly's is a quirky little coffee shop, tucked away in this quaint little mews, opposite the auction house / bus station. Lovely coffee, fabulous sandwiches with unusual and tasty fillings, friendly staff.

I went in to have a coffee, i'd heard of the place and kept meaning to visit and finally did. The decor is nice with tables inside and out and more seating upstairs. It's a cosy place with two lovely ladies that great and welcome you with a warm friendly smile and greeting. It is dog friendly outside and there is food available albeit some toast with a cuppa or a sandwich or something hot if you fancy. Whats a tea/coffee shop without cake? No not a trick question but plenty there for everyone - yum. I liked it there that i took my son for a taster too and will be visiting again hopefully soon

High quality, delicious coffee and truly amazing grilled sandwiches. Not fancy, but a wonderful place to relax.

The Rockabilly coffee shop really is a hidden gem. The sandwich's they do are mouth watering and the list of fillings and combinations are mind boggling. They don't scrimp on fillings and you'll definitely be back for more!The Polish lady behind the counter is an absolute treat, so kind and friendly

It's like going back in time, this sweet and friendly little cafe. Go upstairs for sofas and the sense of having coffee in a friends house. Or sit outside for that alfresco feeling (little blankets available for chilly days). Just the place for toasted tea cakes and a pot of tea, served with a smile.

Been visiting since it first opened and is as good today as it was then!Terrific home-made cakes (very light) and always something 'gluten-free'. Nice atmosphere and hospitality from Izi and her staff.

Seemingly just a coffee shop but in reality much more & slowly building up into a really good spot for a coffee or a fresh home-made cake & very good sandwiches.The owner/manager is a delight-always trying to be helpful(& invariably succeeding)

I've eaten here a few times. Their sandwiches/Paninis are delicious! The staff are absolutely lovely - which makes for a great atmosphere! Prices are great too! It's a real hidden gem. I'd really recommend eating here or grabbing a drink.

Been visiting since day one and nothing is change....very good service, yummy cakes, sandwiches, and the best coffee in town

My colleagues and I go here all the time for lunch and the toasted sandwiches are the best! Good value, very tasty and filling.

A really "cool" little café, retro décor and 60's music. Good homemade food and cakes, great laid back atmosphere and sofa upstairs for relaxed chatting with friends.

Warm and friendly reception and a delicious and varied range of sandwiches and cakes - worth seeking out :)

Rockabilly's is the place to go in St.Ives if you want,Great coffee,Tea in bone china,Awesome homemade cakes,and so much more....the ambiance is to die for.....Jon

I have been to Rockabilly coffee several times now and it never fails to impress. The staff are very friendly, there is a great selection of food and a wide range of cakes. I understand that the cakes are all homemade, they taste wonderful.Really great to have such a great café nearby. I cannot rate this retro café enough.

Rockabilly coffee shop is a great place to go for a sandwich and drink, well worth looking for, it is in a little mews but look out for the rockabilly board on the main Street, go in to the mewd and it is on the left passed the hairdressers you will see a couple of tables out the front.The wife and I go for a bacon Sandwich and orange juice on a Saturday morning its really good with nice friendly staff.

Love this place, I regularly get lunch from here there is a great selection on sandwiches, salads, soups and the coffee and cakes are delicious as well. Very reasonable prices and the staff are lovely and very friendly, would definitely recommend it to anybody!!

Really excellent quality toasted sandwiches. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the combinations. Staff are friendly and helpful. A nice place for a light lunch or a bit of cake.

Roccabillys is the best cafe in st.ives!! The toasties are out of this world, they don't scrimp on filling, worth your money! They are the loveliest most hard working girls you will ever meet, so polite and friendly! And as for hygiene, they always wash there hands and wear gloves, and if they want to have a cigarette so what? They hardly ever stop all day as they have so many loyal customers coming in and out all day! Extremely popular place to go for lunch! Loads of seats upstairs too! All home made goods and gluten free option! If you haven't been yet your missing out. Roccabillys fan for life!!!!!

Delightful little cafe but not easy to find in mews near Waitrose. Few tables outside, downstairs and also upstairs. Great staff, quick service and background music. Best coffee in St Ives and range of sandwiches, baked potatoes and American sandwiches full of contents and good value. Give it a try.

We always visit here when we go to our boat. The food is freshly prepared and the gluten free cakes are fabulous. Staff are lovely and friendly. Even better, they play the sort of music we love

This is a beautiful no nonsense stunning little cafe. A trip down memory lane with its 1960's decor and music. The food is stunning. I personally recommend the club sandwich if you're hungry as it is delicious. Everything is freshly prepared and you are always greeted with a warm smile from the lovely Iza. I have tried all of the cafes in St Ives and can honestly say that Rockabillys is the most welcoming with quality food that is lovingly prepared by Iza daily. I have read one of the other reviews on here that stated hands were not washed after smoking! This is fine thing I have never experienced and believe it was probably made by someone out of spite or jealousy, but who knows. Go on give it a try, it's a little Gem that's hidden away you will not be disappointed.

Was a little put off that the lady serving us followed us in straight after smoking a cigarette, she didn't wash her hands though wore gloves to prepare our food, a lil pricey and quite bland but ok, probably wouldn't visit again

We regularly go to this lovely little retro cafe. It's been our little secret but now lots of other people are coming and it's really vibrant too. It's little bit hidden away - tucked right in Cromwell Mews , which is opposite St Ives Bus Station.(Not the cafe on the corner but further down the mews) The staff are lovely, the cakes and sandwiches are really lovely and inexpensive too. If you ask for one of the grilled sandwiches, it will keep you full up all day! (They do takeaway too) As we go there regularly, we have got to know the staff well. The proprietor makes all the cakes, including gluten-free versions, which are yummy! The coffee is particularly appetising. I happened to ask for redbush tea and hey presto the next time I visited, they had bought some in! There is also wifi. There is a lovely relaxed feel. It's simple but as one of the other reviewers mentioned, I wouldn't change a thing. There is also a lovely vintage shop opposite called 'Vintage Grace' full of lovely things and a lovely new jeweller has just opened in the mews too.

Wow what a nice place food so nice staff great will go again great place in stives nice decor good place to chill

Fantastic grilled sandwiches, tea and cakes. Relaxing retro environment and wifi that actually works. Simple, but can't think of anything I'd change.

The Rockabilly is a little bit hidden away as it is in a little "arcade" between Station Road and New Road, but it is well worth finding. It is small and cosy with a few tables downstairs and a few more upstairs where there are also some easy chairs. A great selection of sandwiches and cakes plus good coffee, all at good prices. Friendly, welcoming service. Don't miss!

Visited here with friends a while ago, the food and drinks were great and free wifi! What more could you want? Ticked all the boxes for us!

Just polished off the Chicken Club sandwich, I've heard great things about the place since it opened and was in no way disappointed now I've finally experienced it for myself. Great atmosphere, suitable music, friendly staff and a very very very tasty sandwich. Best sandwich I have bought in St. Ives and the value for money was great, I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu.

Just had lunch here with friends. Really lovely sandwiches. Fantastic value. Quite small but quaint little place. Really enjoyed. Thankyou.

A really quirky place. The coffee is brilliantly strong and the sandwiches are excellent value! The lady who runs the cafe is friendly and efficient.

Rockabilly has the best coffee and the best sandwiches in St Ives; and at some of the best prices for miles around. Iza is a great hostess. And her rock music accompaniment makes a lovely backdrop to a social over a coffee, to reading Iza's newspapers over a coffee, to working on one's laptop over a coffee, and indeed to anything else you might care to do over a coffee. If there are quite a few of you, you can book the upstairs room for your sole use. As a St Ives resident, Rockabilly is a lifeline for me.

It's much nicer to pop in here for a drink and a cake or sandwich than going to the standard sort of chain! There's a great range of sandwiches and the home made cakes are very tempting too - and everyone is made to feel very welcome . The cafe is small but there is space outside to sit too and there is a comfortable room upstairs with settees to relax in. I feel at home there - and am sure you will too!

I live in St Ives and have been meaning to try this place for some time now as the sandwich of the week always sounds very different and appetising.Today I took the leap and what a great little place! It has a warm, friendly atmosphere which is great. I opted for the club sandwich and I was not disappointed, probably the best I've had, bursting with flavour and very generous fillings. The homemade cakes looked very tasty too but unfortunately I just couldn't manage one as I was too full after my great sandwich.I'll definitely be back and look forward to another fantastic sandwich!

Excellent fresh food - I can't resist the fresh home-made cakes, piping hot coffee or range of teas. The premises are ‘compact & bijoux’ but always meticulously clean and the hospitality provided by Izabella is always friendly and inviting. The prices are probably the best around town i.e. they are VERY reasonable for the quality of produce. A small selection of free newspapers are also available during your visit which is handy if you have a few minutes to spare before catching the Busway home. I thoroughly recommend that you waste no more time reading reviews but immediately pop along & enjoy!

We visit St. Ives every two weeks and are always looking for somewhere for a tasty snack. Now we have found it. Tucked away in Cromwell Mews this quirky cafe has a very good sandwich/cake etc menu. Twice now I have had the American Style bacon, rocket and mayo sandwich and I know in two weeks time I will be looking forward to having yet another one....oh and I forgot, a lovely cup of tea too.

Set in the quiet end of the town centre down a pretty mews is Rockabilly, a small coffee shop that's a big hit!Rockabilly has been here in St. Ives since April 2013 and in the last eight months it has gained a fantastic reputation and loyal fan base for the quality of products it serves, and the service you are given whilst getting them.The shop is owned and run by a lady called Iza who is very much the face of Rockabilly. What a wonderful and friendly person! She always has a smile on her face when you walk in which goes a long way in the service industry. Be prepared for a chuckle when you visit!Rockabilly serves absolutely outstanding coffee, using fine beans and love to make you a dreamy coffee. They are all extremely reasonably priced considering the superior quality of the beans, over established corporate brands like Costa which is also in St. Ives. A small cup will set you back just £1.75, £1.95 for a medium and £2.20 for a large coffee. Reasonably priced indeed!When you walk into Rockabilly you are treated like a friend and not like a product on a factory assembly line, like you tend to do at corporate machines like Starbucks and Costa. This, I like. As well as the beautiful coffee; the shop also serves delicious sandwiches, American style grilled sandwiches, ciabatta, salads and soup. Iza tends to do a different soup every week, so catch it while you can! The food is incredible, in fact, the club sandwich here has become somewhat local legend - and at £3.50, the price is also legendary. In addition to all this, Iza sells her home made cakes and cookies! All of which are phenomenal, be sure to try the Sharlotka (traditional Polish apple cake) - Another local favourite! She also likes to experiment and invent different types of cookies to look out for these delicious and unique little things. All in all it's a lovely little coffee shop to visit, whether you live in St. Ives and the surrounding area or are just looking for a great new coffee shop experience. Coffee and food from the heart, not the machine. This is just an unmissable shop to visit.

Tired of the chains and poor quality coffee? If so, when in St Ives, try this cafe, tucked away near Waitrose supermarket. Home-made and gluten free cakes are delicious.

I couldn't get enough of this place on my trip to St. Ives. They have a fantastic selection of fresh, made to order sandwiches, and homemade cakes. No corporate coffee vibe here. Each order is made with care. Delicious espresso drinks & italian coffee, and grilled sandwiches to die for. The funky little space is set up quite nicely with lots of art & reading material. Nice selection of 50's & 60's music playing. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the neighborhood..look for the little chalkboard sign just outside the bus terminal in the centre.

Very small but great atmosphere,upstairs 2 couches and a table that we read the papers and had a coffee and ciabatta each.Could use the space upstairs better with more tables, but we really enjoyed lunch and will definately go back.

The food was fresh, delicious, and the service was excellent. They were nice to my kids and it was inexpensive. Prvate room with oldie music, awesome!!!! I will definately go there again.

this is my old work college new cafe in st ives , i love going to see heri love her sandwiches and wraps and her home made cakes she makes .

As you wander through St Ives town centre, you will pass the chalk board on the main pavement advertising Rockabilly's, which is hidden down in the middle of Cromwell Mews. The shop itself is relatively compact, but has a couple of tables and chairs near the main counter, with a sofa for more comfortable seating. There is also some seating and a table or two outside, I think that there is more seating upstairs for when its very busy.I have stopped in here a couple of times now, both for drink/eat in and takeaway. The prices are very reasonable, and the coffee tastes lovely. The icing on the cake is the homemade cake and sandwiches. These are far superior to the mass produced versions that you get in other coffee shops. If you are in St Ives, I heartily recommend that you pop in and try it out, you will not be disappointed !

Espresso £1 , large mocca £2.20 , fair size made to order sandwich £2.50 !!!! And all nice and fresh !!!

Yummy sandwich and a pot of tea. Sat outside on a small table. Will go back and try something different.
