Savino's in Cambridge

A very special bistro in Cambridge soup and breads and sandwiches to die for

Great coffee. I also like the look inside the shop, it feels much more authentic than Starbucks etc

Great menu, quick service, delicious food, authentic Italian cafe. My "Sara" panini was so much better than an English equivalent.

This place has the best coffee in town and is family run. It’s always had a beautiful cosy feel & I’ve been coming here ever since we moved to Cambridge, and I was disappointed when were asked to leave for occupying a table for too long. Considering the long-standing relationship we’ve had with this establishment, a simple hint or courtesy would have sufficed (a little joke midway as a hint). A small gesture would have gone a long way, yet that was not offered, which I found verydisheartening.

Very cozy place. Very good food. Awesome coffee and excellent service. The only bad thing was that I wanted to use the toilet and it was not available. But everything is great!!

Always the best coffee in Cambridge! I've been coming here for more years than I care to remember and it's still the best. Illy coffee, perfectly prepared. Good grind, good crema, beautifully frothed milk. Favoloso!

Nice meal options. Good value for money versus other cafes nearby it.

They have lovely coffee and chocolate

It's right in the center of Cambridge. I got the felafel and it was delicious. You can sit and work and connect to the eudorm!

Passing through Cambridge I looked on Google for good coffee and Savinos came up, the food, atmosphere and staff are all awesome. The coffee was great too.

Really good coffee!! Enough said 😁

Very nice place. Competent and very friendly staff. My favorite cafe in Cambridge with an amazing coffee ☕️ to say the least! Thank you!😊

Only place to get decent coffee in Cambridge (back 15 years ago anyway...)

Great service great food. We ordered by mistake non vegetarian panino and the nice owner replaced it with a smile. Cozy place to open the morning with. Thank you!

Very good coffee and excellent pastry. Good service from friendly staff. They open early too.

Best coffee in Cambridge, unquestionably. And great food.

I went there for a coffee, sat outside and went in again to ask or a grab a tissue. The staff member shouted aggressively in front other customers for not getting in the queue. I felt so humiliated and said sorry and went out again. My son who happened to be passing by came and sat next to me for a few minutes. He was having a snack. The same staff member (or the owner) came and again with a very aggressive manner- questioning whether I bought anything from them. I was appalled, pointed my coffee and told him that I would never come to this shop again. He said he didn't want me there. I left shaking and still feeling shaky. I live in Cambridge for decades and never experienced anything like this. Shame on you Savinos!

Very specjal place. Food is fresh and delicious

Great coffee for Australians looking for something with a little more depth of flavour.

A typical Italian cafe in Cambridge. The best, richest coffee in Cambridge. Bellissimo

In a town full of generic fast food outlets, savinos is a gorgeous independent coffee shop with amazing coffee, lovely fresh made panini and friendly staff. It's open for long hours and it's always bustling. Well worth a visit and good to be able to spend your money where it stays in the local economy rather than disappearing into non tax paying corporations.

Small, busy cafe with a lovely welcoming vibe and focus on quality food and drink. Great insalata caprese and fabulous coffee

Great place to have fun, coffee and delicious bakery.

It was soooo delicious! Food and coffee - amazing. Thank you for being so friendly, nice and professional❤️

Best and friendliest coffee in Cambridge. Best pastries. Delicious salads. Beautiful soups. An Italian home in Cambridge.

Ciao Ragazzi ! OK Savino’s is THE only place to go in Cambridge for a proper coffee…

One can stop by for a coffee. Friendly staff. Can’t take pets as it’s a small place.

Beautiful Italian Coffee Shop, which serves lunch! I had a Luscious panini which was perfect. The homemade amaretti biscuits are to DIE for!!!! Thank you 😊

A great cappachino ‐ seemingly hard to come by these days - & fresh warm rain au raisin. Great personal service

The best tuna panini I’ve ever had. Probably best in the UK

Found this fantastic Italian sandwich spot run by a delightful family. The cozy ambiance and mouthwatering sandwiches make it my favorite. Fresh ingredients and homemade goodness in every bite. A local gem for those craving authentic flavors and a personal touch. Highly recommend!

Excellent coffee and top notch service.

I’ve been here many times, both dining in and taking out/ with and without my children. I particularly love the relaxed, authentic, loving Italian family business vibe ❤️ the coffee is magnificent no matter who is at the helm⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our absolute favourite place in Cambridge for coffee and croissants. Their chocolate croissants are absolutely amazing - especially when they are fresh out of the oven. Sometimes we plan a trip to Cambridge because we’re craving the croissants so much. We never visit Cambridge without a trip to Savino’s! Really friendly staff and great service.

For nearly 20 years Savinos has been my favourite coffee shop in Cambridge. Great coffee, great panini, no fuss atmosphere.

Local family owned Italian place with food to match

Grabbed a coffee here, before getting back on the park and ride bus nearby. Excellent place, very busy with a good atmosphere. Coffee very professionally made and the food menu looked excellent. Will definitely come back and try some food when we have more time. Definitely recommend a visit here. Thank you team🙂

This is something that doesn't really exist anymore. A small family ran continental cafe, where you are served by the generations themselves. No attempt for on-trend hipster cafe culture here. Just the genuine Italian cafe, with patina included.

Their croissant and hot chocolate are unbeatable

Brilliant spot for a proper fresh top quality Italian sandwiches and sweets.

Classic Italian cafe. We always go there before going to a movie at Picturehouse over the road. Try their homemade cookies with your coffee and savour the atmosphere with many regular customers coming and going. And there's daily newspapers too. Magic!

We found this wonderful place thanks to “The Key to Cambridge Guide” We were a group of 7 (children and adults) all making their decisions for drinks and cakes.. both the guys serving were so kind and understanding and very patient as we all made our choices.. please try this gem when you are in Cambridge

The best coffee in Cambridge by a wide margin.

Popped in for a rainy morning breakfast before work and it really set the day off to a cheerful start. The service was fantastic, with incredibly friendly staff, and the drinks and pastries were divine. We'll definitely be returning!

Always friendly busy atmosphere. Pop in on my way to work.

A little taste of Italy in central Cambridge. Enjoyed a coffee and snack here, far better than any coffee chain store.

Amazing pastry! crispy shell with a warm chocolate filling. Also love the smell of baked goods that wafts in the space. — Coming back before catching a bus. Tried the new breakfast special, omelette panino. Lovely freshly cooked omelette, filled with flavorful peppers and chicken pieces, stuffed in piping hot toasted ciabatta. Heavenly heart-warming and filling breakfast. Very welcoming and efficient service. The blackboard always tempts me with so many combinations… and Brie/cheddar/mozzarella cheese croissant sounds delicious.

Surely the best coffee and food in town, with lovely staff

Great coffee. Prompt service. Excellent food. Had bacon & scrambled eggs lightly done just as I like it! Open from 7am - early for Cambridge Cafés

Lovely little coffee shop, reasonably priced Flat white for 2.90, and the staff are really friendly too 😌

Great coffee and service at a reasonable price. Staff are very pleasant and the menu is healthy and varied. Definitely recommend!

Very good breakfast special, great coffee

Tried this place after looking at the reviews... Was surprised to start as it wasn't quite what I was expecting... But we stayed It's what I would call old school, felt a little nostalgic not too many frills I ordered coffee and I had an almond croissant... My other half had the special panina, omelette with chicken, peppers etc but had it without the bread Firstly the coffee was great... I expected that, second it was the best croissant I had ever tasted... Kept warm not heated up in a microwave (I hate that) and the omelette was so good... Freshly made to order... Great little find

Visited this cafe today cold coffee disgusting service and the owner is so rude and arrogant so unprofessional my advice is don't visit this establishment

Good Latte and amaretti was soft best cafe in Cambridge. Tourist if you come to Cambridge and want the best coffee come to Savino’s it will delight your taste bud’s.

Oh wow! I love their scrambled eggs and bacon! Delicious!!

Excellent Italian coffee bar in the centre of Cambridge. I really like how it has the design and fittings of an Espresso cafe in Italy, with its steel bar and barstools. Great cappuccino too, probably best in Cambridge. Nice service.

Goto coffee place in Cambridge.

Proper good coffee, homemade amaretti, and the staff is good company to start your day with

The great coffee. Breakfast omelette was fantastic.

Best "coffee and pain au raisin South of Hadrians Wall. Lovely people.

This place is excellent. I had a pesto panino and a banana milkshake, both of which were delicious, particularly the milkshake. They also do really nice cakes. It’s an unassuming place from the outside but don’t be fooled, this is one of the best cafes Cambridge city centre has to offer.

Very good coffee and nice cakes. Clean all around and non intrusive service. Will be back when in Cambridge.

Great little place for your morning coffee, seems to be very popular between locals and thats understandable.

Chipa chirpy friendly burst of Italian spirit attracts many regulars , good coffee the ambiance of Italy the warmth of a small Italian village

My favourite coffee place in Cambridge. Above-and-beyond staff, great coffee quality and lovely food. Happy to have found a place that serves thick hot chocolate.

The best espresso I’ve ever had in Cambridge (and I’ve lived here for 30+ years). A Cambridge hidden gem.

Popped in on the spur of the moment, and wished I had more time to linger. So much better than the chains just around the corner!

Tigni café with nice breakfast and good coffee.

ケンブリッジ在住の友人のお気に入りのカフェ。店員さんも親切でとても過ごしやすい。takeawayのレモネードも美味しかった。バス停からとても近いので、バスの時間ギリギリまで居られる。またケンブリッジに行ったときは寄りたいと思います。

Five star coffee always! Delicious food and and kind friendly bunch of people running this small but great cafe!

We could actually order a large Cap which really is a large, and it was a decent Cap as well. I had the panettone and my husband had the almond croissant - both were lovely. All staff members were super friendly and informative and they wished us a wonderful weekend as we exited. We did, however, end up sitting at a table that was practically in the way of the queue, but we’re not going to dock them any marks for this when we really only stayed half an hour. This will be our new morning stop whilst in Cambridge. It’s a keeper!

Good Danish. Good coffee though they omitted the requested vanilla. Service awful. No please or thank yous. No manners. Attitude shocking.

A perfect way to start any day. Excellent and friendly service, deliciously tasty food and the best coffee in Cambridge.

A hidden gem. Easy to walk past, but we'll worth going in. Friendly service, good coffee, good food.

As always I've been to this place for years. Not a regular but whenever in Cambridge and want a good coffee and lunch. Not cheap but good food made to order.

Had a latte and lemon drizzle cake - they were fantastic! Wish I had taken a picture before I sank my teeth into the cake 5/5!

This is simply the best coffee in Cambridge, with a wonderfully friendly staff to boot. Don't settle for anything less!

Simply the best coffee in Cambridge. You must try their cappuccino and don't forget about home made cakes. Very good place for breakfast or lunch, friendly atmosphere.

Best coffee in town. Great food and great service. I always leave this place with a smile.

Had scrambled eggs breakfast, coffee and a chocolate croissant. It was all delicious! Also the servers were really nice as well. The place looks a bit old but the great for and service totally makes up for it.

Always go in here when I go to Cambridge lovely coffee and very nice staff

Good place to meet for a coffee

Best coffee in Cambridge by far - just go !!! you will love it 😀

Great staff, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic specials of the week

Do you want to taste a real Italian coffee? Simple come to this place, best in Cambridge by far.

Still the best coffee in Cambridge. Super nice staff, and great panini too!

Italy but in Cambridge... Best coffee!

Authentic food, wonderful staff and lovely coffee

Best proper Italian espresso in Cambridge.

Nice coffee but very expensive.

Helpfull staff, all of them. Excellent quality of food, nice takeaway box, not just some rough carton! I had a hot (warm) chicken pieces salad, Greek, from the top of the menu, takeaway, and ate it in a park nearby. Crispy bread, not too much oil and vinegar, better than average oil. I would prefer a bit more cucumber, olives, not just leaves. But then there were generous amount of chicken, some seeds (cucumber?!) . Excellent taste. The inside of this cafe was a bit hot on a hot day.

Dropped in for a quick lunch. We had two paninis @ £15 total for eat in. They were tasty and very filling. We were running late and hungry, but honestly having shared one might have been enough for us both. It seemed quite costly for 'a couple of good toasted sandwiches outside London' but maybe I'm out of touch with cafe pricing these days. What was welcome was that despite being close to the centre, right by Grand Arcade, the GPO and 100M from Market Square etc, this cafe felt very local. The customers were locals, parents of/with students down for grad events and so on. Although the savory food menu seemed to be just paninis (+side-salad options as extras) it had quite a wide range on offer. Would I return? Well probably next time I specifically want a fresh-made panini, otherwise more economic food-on-the-hoof options are a-plenty in the area.

The best café in Cambridge by a long way.

Fresh hot almond croissant and great coffee, open early. Amazing place.

Friendly, lovely place, full of chatter and laughter. Friendly staff. We enjoyed a lovely fresh panini and salad today. No wonder it's busy 🤩

Always love it here, well looked after and great choice.

Terrible fake Italian food. Coffee very similar to Greggs but more expensive. Service is like an Italian Faulty Towers.

The coffee tasted like a cheap Greggs, nothing authentically Italian here other than the poor service. I love Italian food, but they have lost their way here and need to learn again how to make Italian coffee correctly.

Yes it's illy, but they know how to pull a great espresso. The food is simple, inspired, and delicious!
