Teacake at Shepreth in South Cambridgeshire

Lovely Father’s Day lunch I had gluten free mozzarella, tomato and basil panini and it was delicious highly recommend- great service to boot

My boyfriend and I booked an afternoon tea for an early valentines treat and we were so glad we found Teacake! It’s a lovely little tea room, many choices of drinks and the staff are all really lovely and welcoming. The cakes are amazing (especially the Jaffa cake). Everything about it was perfect, we will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family!

9 of us (family) met here yesterday (10 Dec) for a late lunch prior to visiting the Christmas light trail at Wimpole Hall. Due to the size of our party, we were accommodated upstairs, which was cosy and private. I’d previously booked it due to there being 9 of us. We were warmly welcomed and ordered a mixture of yummy treats from chilli con carne & panini to various cakes. Very good value and tasty. The building is very quaint and was cosy on an exceptionally cold day. I would highly recommend!

Popped in for a coffee late morning when it was quiet. The service was poor and it was far from welcoming. The assistant struggled with the card machine and was unable to do basic maths. Coffee took longer to arrive than expected. It was OK if you need a coffee and are in the area but not worth making an effort for.

went back after a few months ( new people took over and we weren't impressed by the standard drop) as felt it only fair to see if things had improved, given a bit of time. Food ok but not really impressed with anything. Outside tables need a good scrub.

Everything at Teacake was excellent! Friendly, attentive service, delicious sandwiches and cakes and a pretty garden setting.

After all the glowing Tripadvisor reviews I was expecting something tip top, a place we might put on our ‘coffee and tearoom places to go’ list. I’m afraid the shop bought scones we were served, at £4 each (with jam and cream) were far too top heavy on price. We were expecting something homemade… Pleasant enough setting in the garden but won’t be returning. Opening hours seem rather short too Thursday-Sunday, 10-4pm.

What a find! Booked this based on the fantastic reviews and it certainly lived up to expectations! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and accommodated some quite specific dietary needs without being phased at all. We enjoyed an absolutely superb afternoon tea in quaint and peaceful surroundings. We will definitely be back!

Would highly recommend a visit to The Teacake, food was delicious served in a lovely peaceful suntrap garden. Staff were inviting and friendly, all food is cooked fresh. The carrot cake is homemade and quite honestly one of the best I've eaten.

Highly recommend for a mid- cycle break. Excellent food, service and garden was beautiful in the April sunshine. Keep up the good work!

We had a really lovely afternoon tea for Mother’s Day. Tearoom is very quaint and cosy, staff are incredibly friendly and food very tasty, especially the sandwiches! Would just say that one way to improve it further would be for scones to be homemade. We had such a lovely time though and would certainly go back. Thank you!

Have been wanting to come over for quite a while and glad we did. Nice tearoom in a thatched cottage. The panini we had was lovely and served with a nice salad and crisps and we sat by the big brick fireplace. The place has a garden and would be nice to sit out in the summer. Large choice of delicious looking cakes. Staff were nice and friendly. Great customer service with a smile. Will recommend 🙂

A lovely afternoon with friends eating delicious jacket potatoes and cake. Very attentive staff. Definitely recommend visiting.

After dropping our little dog to the groomers popped into favourite Tea Shop in Shepreth. We had a lovely breakfast this morning. Lovely Sausage and bacon rolls. Very tasty and filling. Beautifully garnished with exquisite side and little crisps. Fantastic choice of hot drinks. We had Apple & cinnamon tea, after eight hot chocolate. Couldn’t pass by the lovely home made cakes. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Cottage serving great food and a wonderful choice of homemade food and desserts to die for. Very friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely be visiting again very soon. Jackie Pill

Amazing, everything was perfect - staff lovely, food excellent. Would definitely recommend this recommend.

What an excellent little find ! We enjoyed a fabulous lunch in the beautiful walled garden which was a real sun trap. Wonderful avocado and halloumi on sourdough followed by a top notch Victoria sponge. Will definitely be finding a reason to return

We are so happy with the service at The Teacake Shepreth. Good value for money. Really good take away service, pleasant staff and always a warm welcome. Amazing cakes too !! Fred & Barbara

The café is very cute and we are looking forward to coming back when the tearoom is open (and before!). The food was lovely and very reasonably priced, and had the best brownie I've tried in Cambridge. The staff were very friendly and keen to help, and it felt safe with regards to covid.

An excellent afternoon tea delivered to our door with a friendly smile. Such a great service during lockdown and very much appreciated.

Amazing afternoon tea with prosecco delivered today to our home with a smile and friendly greeting. This was to Sawston. All the sandwiches sausage roll cakes dessert pot and scones were very fresh and very tasty. My dietary requirements all very well catered for. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Have visited a number of times and are never disappointed by the friendly welcome and delicious food. Really enjoy coming here for lunch or tea and cake!

From start to finish great customer service, easy booking and very accommodating with one of our party's dietary requirements, nothing too much trouble. We all had the Cream Tea platter, the freshly made sandwiches were so tasty and such a varied selection. The homemade sausage roll and scones were nicely warmed and delicious. Will definitely revisit and can't wait to visit on a warm day so we can sit outside in what looks like a lovely garden. Can't recommend it highly enough.

The food is delicious especially the homemade cakes. If the weather is good you can sit in their lovely secluded garden. We’re always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome, and the service is prompt and efficient too. This is an amazing find and is now on our ‘regular visits’ list.

I have visited the wonderful little teacake on numerous occasions. The selection of food is really good and is homemade, the cakes are out of this world and I couldn’t possibly choose a favourite. However this is not a problem as they will make a cake box to take away with you. Julie and her team are so friendly and just lovely and you leave planning your next visit. I only wish I lived nearby as I would become my local. Teacake more than caters for all ages, I have visited with babies in arms right through to my parents in their 80’s. I have always had my expectations exceeded and food as I said is second to none.

Delicious home made cakes and savory products.It is ideal for breakfast,lunch and afternoon tea, all high quality and delicious,The staff are really welcoming and friendly.This is a place I recommend to friends and they have never been disappointed as it’s in a lovely setting and you can sit in the garden too.

My friends and I went cycling on a soggy morning & found ourselves meeting the best coffee shop hosts around Cambridge. We were wet from our ride because of the rain and were also given cotton towels. Loved the coffee and carrot cake! Delicious & excellent hosts! Must visit if around Cambridge!

Lovely to visit Teacake again. They have a fantastic selection of tasty cakes which never disappoint.

Very thoughtful spacing of the seating inside and outside. Beautiful and tasty food, three afternoon teas for a family afternoon. Would definitely go here again. Thanks!

We had a number of Teacake’s home delivered treat boxes during lockdown and each one was wonderful and a real treat as well as great value. Since its reopening we have visited and enjoyed the usual welcome and a fab lunch in the delightful garden. Glad to see Teacake’s customers returning.

I live a long way from my family in this area, and have been unable to visit. I asked Teacake if they would do treat boxes and deliver them locally, while the shop itself was closed. Not only were they happy to do so, they provided super tasty cakes and sausage rolls to two of may family in the area, at a great price. Now the shop has reopened, my family can go and get a takeaway or sit and enjoy the lovely building. Thanks to Julie and Graham for their work, helping make my family smile for me! So support your local business and give them a try. Yum!

I was taken for my birthday by friends, being a Coeliac they ordered a gluten free afternoon tea. It was superb. Delicious sandwiches, cake, scones and lemon possett. All homemade. Very friendly service and in these difficult times a very safe experience. We sat in the very pretty garden in our own space. A very happy experience. Have been on many occasions and will definitely be going back.

Stopped off here on a long drive and very glad we did. Great service, lovely garden and delicious food. Reasonably priced as well, would recommend.

Enjoyed a semi lock down treat. Cake box...delivered by the owner :) Great quality Would look forward to a visit when all this is over xx

Home delivery cake service during lockdown was, as advertised, a real treat. We enjoyed one of the Saturday Treat Boxes delivered from Teacake yesterday. The cakes were absolutely delicious and the customer service was, as always, exemplary.

We were looking for somewhere for an afternoon tea/late lunch with a friend that was halfway between our homes, and this came up in a search. It's off the main road, so nice and quiet, but there's easy parking on the street. Inside, it's exactly what you'd expect - cosy, quirky and cute. We ate upstairs, which has a steep staircase. Our salads, sandwiches and soup were all delicious. Definitely going back again.

The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be visiting again and would recommend to anyone.

Dropped in on our way home from Cambridge. A very welcoming thatched room, small, and seemingly family run cafe.A very friendly gentleman directed us upstairs to the window table.Fabulous specials and my partner had the mushroom stroganoff and I had off the ordinary menu. The food was lovely, coffee and tea was piping hot and good quality.A wonderful array of home cakes were too good to resist. The raspberry Victoria sponge was just lovely. This is a minute off the main road and well worth the very slight detour. You would probably never see it unless you knew it was there. The packed tables suggests many people keep coming back.Highly recommend Ps there is no sea view .

We stopped here on Saturday for morning coffee and wished we’d gone later for lunch, or earlier for breakfast, in fact we could have spent the entire day here. A pretty little cottage with an eclectic mix of vintage furniture. The selection of cakes was excellent with three gluten free options. The scones were good with delicious jams. We understand the proprietor sources only the best local ingredients and the quality was evident. The breakfast lunch and afternoon tea menus are definitely calling us back with plenty of both classic and modern choices.

I’ve been to this tea room twice and both times I’ve been very impressed. The quality and taste of the afternoon tea is excellent and easily on a par with one of the top London hotels yet at a fraction of the cost. You need to book in advance as they bake to order - nice to know it’s all fresh! The setting is cosy/country cottage and the staff are friendly, the service is good. You can’t get a glass of champagne - assume they aren’t licensed after all they are a tea room - but you can get a nice pot of tea! Can’t wait to go back for a third time!

Such a cosy ideal environment for tea and cake any time. Great lunch options, service with a smile and I can’t wait to be sitting outside in the lavender garden once again.

We have visited Teacake on several occasions and are never disappointed. It’s in a beautiful thatched cottage with friendly and helpful staff. The afternoon tea is amazing, everything homemade and so tasty. It’s obvious a lot of attention to detail and love go into the Teacake. The scones are warm and crumbly, sandwiches have lovely fillings (this time beef and horseradish, turkey and cranberry and cheese and chutney) and the cakes are to die for, brownies, mince pies, lemon posset, eclairs and so many more. All served on vintage cake stands with china cups, saucers and plates.They also cater for special diets and children. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Just had the best afternoon tea ever !!! Beautifully served, amazing sandwiches, cakes, scones etc . Washed down with as much tea as you liked. So much that we couldn’t eat it all so took it home to eat later! Fantastic hosts , Julie and Graham !! Thank you x

Visited with friends on a Saturday afternoon for Afternoon Tea. We had booked so we were seated straight away & had our table available to us for the whole afternoon.

Visited for lunch today. Been 4/5 times now (including Mother's day afternoon tea) - never disappointed. Food is delicious and excellent quality. Always difficult to choose between the enticing selection of homemade cakes available - very pleased with my choice today of Pear and almond crumble cake. Service personal and friendly. Lots of vegetarian options available.

I've been here twice... once by chance, and again to order the amazing afternoon tea I saw being served on the table next to me on our first visit!

Visited here with my daughter and teenage grandson.Lovely quaint teashop that served a good variety of lunches and cakes.We were made so welcome by the owners and would definitely recommend to all...cant wait to visit again.

Such a lovely tea house. Great selection of cakes, warm scones and lovely atmosphere! Service is so good. Had a lovely baby shower today- thank you

Our first visit here with friends and family. Accommodated us despite not having booked, but only just so be sure to book especially in summer. We had a lovely table in a typical English garden. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious, gluten free and vegan options were available. We will be back.

Always a joy to have morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea at this little gem of a tea rooms. Sat in the garden for the first time this morning/lunch time and it was perfect. Peaceful surrounding, great food and attentive service. What more could you wish for? Very highly recommended.

We woke up fancying a coffee and breakfast / brunch out, we googled for recommended cafes near Cambridge and found the Teacake, we were not disappointed. Great coffee and good choice of food options that we felt were slightly different to normal fare such as beans on toast with cheese, scrambed eggs on a muffin with mushroom... simple, light and tastey food. Lovely character to the place and well run with very good service; next time we will try the afternoon.tea

Had jacket potatoes and cream tea. Both delicious. Sat in the lovely garden. Warm service lovely place

I booked Teacake to celebrate my mum's 80th Birthday, we had a wonderful afternoon! The atmostphere was so relaxing and the food was exquisite, served by friendly and attentive staff.

Had a wonderful afternoon to celebrate my boyfriend's Mum's birthday. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious. Plenty of Sandwiches and beautiful cakes to go round. The venue was perfect and the staff could not do enough. I highly recomend this tea shop. The freshly made warm fruit and plain scones with clotted cream and Jam were the highlight of the afternoon and then to top it all the staff gave the bithday girl a lovely bunch of flowers. I have visited various places in Cambidgeshire for afternoon tea and by far this is the best place to come. Also very reasonably priced. Thank you I will definetley be back for sure.

Despite adequate tables inside, the real attraction is the rear garden where ample tables are on offer in a secluded setting - a mature walled garden. Service was excellent and the menu very reasonably priced. We sampled sausage rolls (that were heated in an oven upon request) and a bacon roll which was very good indeed. It would be impossible to leave without sampling one of their many cakes - all homemade - and did not disappoint. Their coffee and walnut cake was one of the best, made earlier that day. Highly recommended, you'll want to come again.

We stop regularly here on our ladies rides always friendly service and amazing cakes with gluten free options, check out the lemon drizzle. Lookong forward to sitting in the garden for afternoon tea stop or early lunch - Thank you for your welcoming hospitality Sam :)

We visited the Teacake in April and had a lovely time. The food was hot and fresh and the homemade cakes that we had were generous in portion size but also tasted great! What I loved about this place was it's shappy chique vibe and also the food wasn't anything fancy, but presented nicely. Looking forward to booking again, this time for an afternoon tea As those looked lovely too!

We dropped in here after a visit to Shepreth Wildlife Park. It is a beautiful listen building with lots of character. The people working there are friendly and attentive, the food is wonderful. I can definitely recommend the cakes and sausage rolls. Oh and the cheese scones are out of this world!

Not the first time we have been for tea at Teacake and never been disappointed. Sandwiches and cakes are delightful - beautifully presented and most enjoyable. Never sat in the garden but, on a warm summer's day, I am sure that would be lovely. All in all a 5 star visit.

This is a real gem, looks like any other thatched house on the street. They have seating inside and outside. Happy to cater for cycles, they have a place out back to put your bike They have a great menu for cakes snacks and toasted sandwiches, soup etc, plenty on offer here. Everything is prepared fresh and ours tasted delicious. The advocado and cheese toastie was excellent. They do very nice coffee and teas as well. The garden area is nice to sit in on a warm day. The staff are very friendly and chatty. This is definately a hidden gem.

Have visited Teacake on numerous occasions and am always blown away by how friendly and inviting it is. Staff are so friendly (sorry I don’t know names to mention but you’re all so lovely!) and have gone to special effort to fit us in and seat us a few times we have visited and it’s been busy. The popularity speaks volumes for how great the food and drink is! Homemade cakes are always delicious and the locally pressed apple juice is a favourite!! I would highly recommend visiting if you haven’t already! We make a 40min journey from St Neots to visit and are never disappointed!

Booked to have afternoon tea with my friend yesterday for a belated birthday treat. It was all absolutely delicious and would thoroughly recommend. Excellent service too.

They were reasonably busy, we sat for twenty minutes waiting. I tried to go up to order and he said he’d come take our order at table. We waited and waited, no one came.

Used to live not far from The Tearoom. Used to visit for morning coffee and light snack. Always very polite and friendly service. Not been for a while as we have moved further away from the area. I will visit again if passing in future.

Passed this attractive tea Room just while driving around. Warm welcome, spacious sitting, scrummy cakes also catering with choice for gluten free, large pot of tea yielding 3 cups per person. Definitely on the list for regular visits

The best afternoon tea at the wonderfully quaint tea cake in shepreth. Will not forget the lovely time and food we had here. Absolutely scrumptious! Can not come to shepreth without visiting here! Ian and Kelly xx

This little tearoom is the perfect spot after a local village walk. There’s a great choice of lunches (I thoroughly enjoyed my sweet potato and feta pie today!). The cakes are the best part, all homemade and so many to choose from!

I visited here today with my Nan for afternoon tea and the whole experience was delightful. The finger sandwiches, cheese scones and sausage rolls were fresh and delicious. The cake selection on our tier was perfect, a mixture of chocolate, fruit, sponge and little meringues, again fresh and extremely delicious. We then had clotted cream scones. A real treat. The teashop itself is a beautiful quirky venue and the staff are really friendly and attentive. A must visit :-)

This is such a lovely little tearoom, and it is very reasonably priced. The staff are always very friendly, it is always very clean, and it makes a lovely change from going to big chains like Costa or Starbucks!

We visited on Saturday 26th January after googling local tea rooms and reading the reviews. When we walked in at 12:30 pm we was very surprised to see it completely empty downstairs and upstairs. We ordered lunch which was very basic, tasteless accompanied with a dried salad which was clearly not fresh. It felt like they were scrimping on the quality of food, the heating was unplugged in the middle of winter which made the place cold and there was no music, so all we heard was that fridge making a noise in the background. We always support local businesses but I can safely say that I will never go back and can now see why it was completely empty from 12-1pm on a Saturday!

Wonderful Xmas afternoon tea. The food is so tasty, plentiful and beautifully presented. It’s all homemade too. The staff are brilliant and really know the meaning of great customer service.

Quirky place, with good coffee & great cakes. Very friendly owner! I often go the long way back when taking my sons to football training so we can stop here for a snack.

Quirky little thatched tea rooms. Very welcoming hosts, lovely homemade soups and a specials board. Nice vintage china teasers too - well worth a visit but best to book.

Excellent latte. We really enjoyed our lunch freshly prepared and nicely presented. Friendly service. We took some cakes home.

Lovely Sunday afternoon tea plenty of food with lovely home made sandwiches, scones and cakes and plenty of tea refills! Very Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere and bought home what we couldn’t manage.

We met up with some relatives at this establishment for a coffee and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. They don’t serve Monmouth coffee anymore so their website needs updating. We have our coffee order several times and what came back was still wrong but no big deal. The server came back with the correct order a moment later. But that’s where the service ended, no one offered to take our order or ask us what we wanted so we chose not to have anything and decided to go elsewhere. Paid and left and not sure if I’d come back, maybe in the summertime to use the garden.

We called in while out cycling. There was room in the back garden for our tandem too!

Sitting here with Dawn and our dog Ginty in the garden having a cream tea. Good price and a great scone. Lovely place to visit.

Have just enjoyed a wonderful full -blooded Ritz quality afternoon tea in the wonderful environment of this country cottage tearoom. Fantastic selection of vegetarian sandwiches and cakes. The experience was topped off with warm scones, clotted cream and a selection of jams. Friendly, attentive service as well.

What a fantastic discovery - a lovely cottage-style tearoom in a village not far from home and one that serves the most delicious afternoon tea. Every single item - sweet and savoury - was tasty and home-made. Not a shop bought cake in sight! Food easily as good (if not better) as the Ritz, Claridges etc. Excellent value for money and I felt nicely full when I left. If you’re expecting to dress in your finest to go to the gold-leafed surroundings of the Palm court, champagne, and a menu of fine leaf tea served by white-gloved waiters this isn’t quite for you but if you appreciate good food - a seriously tasty and well presented afternoon tea - in a friendly, cosy Cath Kidston-esque environment this place is spot on. I can’t wait to go back and highly recommend this place. Don’t bother going anywhere else.

My daughter and I went for Afternoon Tea at the Teacake in Shepreth today which is very quaint with excellent friendly service; we were made to feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble.I cannot speak highly enough about the delicious array of savoury and sweet homemade goodies we were served. I have had afternoon tea at many places including Harrods BUT this beat them all hands down and at a fraction of the cost. You can also take cakes away and we took home some of the gorgeous caramel brownie for my husband who missed out on the treat. ! We will definitely be returning!

Was pleasantly surprised upon arrival at Teacake that they had multiple dairy free options, which I wasn't expecting for a little tearoom. I was able to have a caramel latte with soya milk, and teacake, which was dairy free.The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. My mother was even able to have a gluten free bagel! Lovely atmosphere, both inside and in the gardens. No idea how anyone could leave a negative review. Will definitely be returning, hopefully for an afternoon tea!

I am really thrilled to have discovered this adorable little tea shop in Shepreth. I took a friend for tea there this afternoon. The cake was absolutely scrumptious! I could have sampled all of them! I shall definitely be returning.

I think we probably hit on a bad day. I think this place has so much potential. I read good things on here about this quirky tearoom. And I’d like to also write a good review. The truth is it was just very average.

Little quaint tearoom. Very hospitable service. We went here before Royston Cave for lunch. Would recommend lovely place.

Needed somewhere for a lunchtime snack and we found Teacake at Shepreth via the good reviews it received on the internet.

Had been here when it first reopened and had not been particularly impressed with coffee or cake but was passing and thought we would pop in again, and so glad we did, the coffee was superb and all three of the cakes we chose were delicious. Definitely plan to visit again soon!

Had a really nice lunch in the garden of the tea cake, made even more special as all of the lavender was in full bloom. Friendly staff and really good food.

Thatched cottage, small but lovely back garden for afternoon tea, which is precisely what we go for on sunny summer afternoons. Delicious sandwiches, and cakes (lemon drizzle) and scones -- and lots of other things we have not tried. Very well placed next door to Shepreth Manor gardens (check opening times) and very near to picturesque Barrington with its vast green (unusual for Cambs).

Had a lovely afternoon tea. Lots of choice, great sandwiches and good choice of cakes. The best part for me were the lovely home made scones. Only small criticism would be no choice of teas.

Slightly grumpy reception when we accidentally walked through the kitchen the first time but they couldn't have been more welcoming when we went back a couple of weeks later. Guess they were tired after a busy day. It's a lovely little thatched building so I will be taking friends who visit here as its way more charming than the chains in Cambridge.

Just chanced upon a lovely little teahouse while in Cambs. Coffee was perfect- best coffee we have had since arriving fom Australia. Delicious cheese scone and my husband's bacon roll was very much enjoyed too. Owners really nice and delightful thatched cottage! You must go and see for yourself.

We visited here to meet some friends

Patron has a great sense of humour and the service perfect - we had a cream tea - home made scones - delicious

You can't beat coming across a little English tearoom in the country, thatched cottage, low ceilings, lovely decor - and then finding they do beautiful home-baked cakes and scones (clotted cream and jam, of course) as well as mouth-watering savouries. This is what happened to us today at Teacake in Shepreth. The tea was served in fine bone china by exceptionally friendly staff and all came in at a very reasonable price - altogether one of those rare perfect experiences that leave you glowing.

Me and my mum were in the last mile of an 11 mile walk around Shepreth and Barrington and saw this at the side of the road.

Popped in here for a coffee with a client of mine and was pleasantly surprised. A lovely array of cakes, coffees and soft drinks.

This was our first visit and we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Its a novel idea to set a tea shop in a cottage and loved the huge brick open fireplaces. All the cakes are made by the staff and were delicious and pot of tea very good quality. They have a first floor too that was heated on this cold day.

A lovely little teashop. Limited seating downstairs (don't know how much space there is upstairs). Delicious coffee cake which we all chose - but the others looked good too. Very friendly. 4* because we like our coffee much stronger!

A real tea shop. Good quality cheese and ham toasty and a proper pot of tea. Clean and tidy with cheerful and friendly people running it.
