The Old Dairy Cafe in South Cambridgeshire

Fantastic afternoon tea for Mother’s Day. Great food and plenty of it.

Nice drinks and food and you can watch food being made sold in the shop.

The sausage roll straight out of the oven was excellent.

Lovely place for afternoon tea and lunch, lovely welcoming staff and great seating and atmosphere being able to the kitchen at work through a big open window. The food was also lovely with a great selection and unique and homemade selections.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful Afternoon Tea this afternoon! It was plentiful and rather delicious! Thank you so much for accommodating and being so child friendly, we look forward to returning again soon! Thank you 🥰👌🏻🩷✨️

Great coffee and choice of cakes. Super breakfast menu and lunch options. Lovely choice of artisan products too.

Really wonderful place that we found on the off chance. Wonderful menu. Highly recommended.

A happy birthday lunch was had by all good food good service and nice vibe.we will certainly be going back to the Old Dairy again. 😉✌️

Try to visit in good weather to fully appreciate the wonderful herb garden. A multitude of varieties, and associated scent. Sit outside and appreciate the simple, but well made menu, or just enjoy a pot of tea or a coffee. Purchase some locally grown and produced fruit based products. Also take advantage of the beautiful cakes on offer.

Great place for good food, coffee and friendly staff. Try the condiments as a gift for friends

Very friendly and welcoming coffeeshop. The bakery offering greets you and theres a small farm shop area. The lunch menu was limited but what they had was delicious. Quality over quantity. 🤗 They had a hot chocolate menu and have to say I enjoyed the best hot chocolate Ive ever had. I took away the coffee for later which was also very good. I had the french brie salad which was delicious and filling. The breakfast menu looked amazing but unfortunately I arrived shortly after. Wasn’t dissatisfied with what I chose those. My friend had the sandwich which gave a choice of bread, filling and condiment. It also looked delicious. Would come again. The cakes were fantastic and we had those later. The best bit was the friendly atmosphere and the staff looked like the genuinely enjoyed serving us which is rare to find these days.

Yet another overpriced cafe not worth going to, miserable stressy middle-aged women who seem like they need a good dose of HRT. Take a flask and some cookies if you're heading out this way and avoid this gloomy place.

Lovely relaxed place to enjoy a light bite and their hot chocolate hits different 😋 it really is so good I would advise you to try

I’ve only tasted your Montys English mustard, and sadly it was not up to scratch. A reformulation is in order as it was rather tasteless and had an unpleasant lumpy texture. Do you carry out taste tests outside of work ? And do you compare to many other popular mustards. It’s important to get English mustard spot on, especially in Norfolk.

Delicious afternoon tea with a variety of savoury and sweet treats plus large choice of teas, coffees and jams. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will return!

Tasty. With a DF or vegan options

Fantastic vibe and really friendly staff. Coffee and food was amazing and super gluten free sandwich … would highly recommend

Excellent food and staff that are welcoming and genuinely pleased to see you. Lots of pickles and jam made on site l'm looking forward to many more visits very highly recommended.

Was recommended to us, whilst visiting this area. We were not disappointed. The establishment is really light and airy, with an added bonus of being able to see the kitchen and the chutneys being made on the premises. We were greeted and seated as we walked through the door, to be left with a menu, after explaining a few changes to items that day. There were plenty of choices, but not too many, even so I had trouble making my mind up. From sandwiches to light lunches. I settled for a ploughmans and my husband had a lovely pancake filled with goats cheese, beetroot and garnished with a salad. We also brought some of the mustards, jams and marmalade made there, having spoken with one of the owners, who gave us an overview of the Old Dairy and its products. This was an added bonus and of great interest. (Maybe another time we should try the breakfasts, as these too have been recommended.)

Lovely place to visit, excellent food and service. Would highly recommend

Booked for us to go here for afternoon tea on our week off and all I can say is it was a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful, the food was absolutely delicious and the cafe itself was a comfortable and welcoming place to eat with tables both inside and out. Will certainly be visiting again plus I purchased some of the delightful chutneys and pickles that are made onsite.

I had a cup of camermile tea and hubby had ordinary tea , I had brie and grape sandwiches hubby had ham the sandwiches were yummy and the granary bread tasted really good , I bought some jam when paying the bill and would have loved to have got a loaf of granary bread

Had a lovely afternoon tea. The food was incredible and the staff are fantastic very helpful and friendly.

100% recommended. We were on holiday nearby and it is so great we went twice. Stunning food, lovely staff and dog friendly. Best to check on opening times as I believe that they are closed on Mondays although this could be seasonal.

Good food very friendly service at reasonable prices.

£10.30 for a ploughman's, which was 1/4 of an apple, 6 small pieces of a baguette (not the baguette as per menu), 3 bits of celery, 4 onions and a pork pie (No sausage rolls were available) The price is not the issue its the lack of portions and a plate is better than a roof slate. Staff were busy, unfortuately there were many cyclists wearing lycra, after they had their pot of tea they were parading around looking to use the facilites with their daft shoes tap dancing on the hard floors. Put us off returning ever again.......

This is such a lovely place, the food is excellent. We’ve had breakfast, flapjacks and cakes there and all were perfect, I will go again and again.

Had a delicious brunch there. Lovely friendly staff. Worth a visit

Lovely people Lovely food what great place to visit

Great food. Eggs Benedict (before 11am) recommended! All cooked to order.

Lovely staff, good coffee. Sadly even at 11 a.m. many of the cakes on the menu were unavailable although the carrot cake turned up at the last minute. It was just the tiniest bit on the dry side but had a nice flavour. The Dairy produces marmalades and jams which are sold by Waitrose and these are excellent.

Very good menu, a lot more cheffy than you’d expect, along with a cute local produce deli. A little local gem.

Always enjoy an excuse to visit The Old Dairy, and treated ourselves today to some fabulous goodies from the bakery. So lucky to have such a special cafe and shop nearby

Tables are rather close together. Not enough seating. Sausage roll was very nice.

Great place to eat. Very friendly service.

Great food and very friendly staff

Lovely venue with seating outside the front and back courtyard, inside too Food was nice as are the staff, but no hot meals and service was a bit slow considering not many people there at the time.

Great place , good food , excellent staff . I would however advise would be visitors to check their menu online as it may not be sufficient for everyone's needs .

A lovely little cafe with tables at the front overlooking fields (some road noise) and a secluded courtyard garden at the rear. There is also indoor seating, but as it was a hot day we sat in the courtyard. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food is excellent. We will definitely be back.

A great little find. Lovely place. Very friendly staff and some great homemade cakes. Definitely going to be a regular haunt. Dog friendly too.

The worst service ever. The staff here pride themselves in ignoring customers. When we went in we were told there wasn't a table, what the young lady meant was a table was full of dirty crockery and she couldnt be bothered to clean it. She was told by a colleague to clear the table and we sat at it. Then after being ignored for almost 20 minutes we were served. When you get a hot drink at The Old Dairy you always have to ask for a tea spoon. Why does this always happen. The trouble is the Cafe is staffed by youngsters who have no work or service ethic. Ive had this experience too many times now I will not be using the place again. The food is excellent.

Really nice clean place lovely outdoor seating area

Amazing place friendly staff and great food!

Very disappointed very poor menu hardy any choice basically a sandwich or an omelette

Lovely Cafe, Shop, very friendly service, great products, highly recommend!

Very nice first time there. It is medium size inside but quite cosy lovely lady served us very helpful. Had tea and cake has usual cream scone jam cream husband had coffee and walnut cake and coffee the price was not bad pleasantly surprised always looked quite expensive when passing will be calling again.😋

Excellent service and food is gorgeous 👍

Great food and friendly welcoming staff

Positive reviews seem to focus on breakfast, but my visit was for lunch. Not much choice on the menu and not very exciting. Main complaint is the portion size which was really poor. My sandwich was tiny, served on something no bigger than a saucer with a teaspoon of salad. Scones were rock hard and only saving grace was the home made jam. Staff were friendly but service was hit and miss. I know businesses are working under COVID conditions but now is the time to make more of an effort to get customers back. Everything was just lacking sadly.

Lovely lunch, great coffee, happy staff.

Wonderful breakfast, and great, safe service, in a lovely rural environment. Well done, and such an enjoyable visit. Thank you.

A really great venture with eats, drinks and a preserve and condiment shop. The condiments are made on-site and are very good. Well worth a visit.

Was in the area visiting friends and we decided to have brunch here. Easy to park, staff were friendly and attentive and the food was of very good quality. We spent over an hour there dining alfresco, never harrassed to vacate our table. Will be back in Norfolk later this month and a visit to The Old Dairy is going to be a must do on my schedule.

The best cakes and coffee in the area, all freshly baked and in lovely surroundings.

Called in for breakfast, service was prompt & polite , food & drinks were excellent, we will be coming back.

First time out for a meal in over 4 months and had an hr to spare so stopped here at The Old Dairy. Was i pleased. Really impressed, so friendly and welcome. Food excellent, not any grease in side and the poached eggs were first class. Highly recommend 2 poached eggs on large portabello mushroom with bacon and grilled tomatoes. Will go back and thank you for making me feel so safe. Where I sat on the bbq table on the lawn at the front the nearest table was 4o to 50 foot away from me. You made me feel at home and a very relaxing enjoyable experience. The whole premises was so Socially aware in the procedures and placing of tables. Worth more than 5 stars

Absolutely fantastic Breakfast! Couldn't fault it. Prices are also reasonable. Very clean place, and has a nice chilled out atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Un Salto a almorzar ya que necesitábamos un descanso de decoración. No exploramos la granja en sí mucho, pero parece un pequeño y agradable lugar para traer a la familia de los niños más pequeños. Teníamos un té de la tarde, elegir relleno vegetariano bocadillo.

We have past this Cafe numerous times and the Farm with its attractions always looks good from the A10.So we thought we would stop and have a coffee and a snack,deciding to share a baguette .The latte had more froth than coffee served in what I would consider a small cup(£1.99).Next the ham and cheese baguette ,well sitting all on its own on a white plate with a sprig of parsley for £4.84.The butter in the baguette had melted into the defrosted bread,the cheese was tasteless as was the ham.

Really quite good coffee and selection of snacks/cakes. Good friendly efficient staff. Farm seemed to have quite a few activities too.

Had a delicious full English breakfast for £8.50 including a coffee. Friendly and welcoming staff and ample free parking. Was lovely sitting outside in the October sunshine. Recommended.

We went there on a very busy Sunday.There were numerous activities going on for kids including go carts,tractor rides,animals etc.The staff were very helpful and cheerful despite being very busy.

Visited last Sunday, enjoyed a nice lunch with a group of friends, the staff were busy but had time for us and were friendly and approachable.

Visitamos para el desayuno con mi compañero ya que nos pasábamos casa y había sido a Milton propina. El desayuno vegetariano, tuve el que era 2 eggs,2 croquetas de patata, tomate, champiñones, tostadas, zumo de naranja por alrededor de £5. Mi pareja tuvo el desayuno ligero en inglés y una taza de té toda la cosa llegó a alrededor de £12. Ambos salió en un precio muy razonable de tiempo. Yo había solicitado no judías pero cuando mi desayuno salió sin granos reemplazado rápidamente la camarera que para mí. Entorno era agradable, y se podía ver en la cocina, que está muy bien para alguien como curioso como yo. Los huevos eran gratis y la salchicha local proveniencia, puedo responder para los huevos y dijo mi compañero la salchicha estaba delicioso, y es muy exigente en lo que se refiere a las salchichas. No creo que el resto era "locales" pero, para ser honesto, en el precio es no importa. Está bien preparado y bien presentado.

every time we leave here , we say the same thing ' why did we come again ' everytime something is wrong , today it was the eggs , snotty , last time was cold beans , time before cold myshrooms , its pricey so youd expect it to be pretty perfect , the problem is the staff just seem to spend more time gossiping than paying attention , love the farm shop thou ,, but enough is enough not eating here agsin but will always use the shop

Inglés (también se sirve en porciones más pequeñas) era bastante caro, y no tiene nada de especial. sabrosa salchicha, huevos suave yolked bien frito, pero es difícil bacon que parecía que había sido sentados alrededor durante horas, y lo combinamos alubias. El pan era de un Pan rebanado muy corriente, y un trozo de pan tostado recién bloomer habría ido un lujazo. Los inodoros un corto paseo, que no es necesariamente un problema en un buen clima pero un poco molesto en un frío día de febrero!

I've been here on quite a few occasions now and never been disappointed. I have only ever had their English breakfast - it's so good i haven't got around to trying any thing else! Good quality food does make all the difference, the Dairy Cafe is up there with the best. The atmosphere is cracking, especially on a sunny summers day. Kids have plenty to do here with all the facilities and i'd recommend a walk around the waterside after your food. I've started plenty of days off here on a proper breakfast, but the Maize makes it a day out as well. Well worth the drive.

An outstanding country breakfast at this family run cafe. Although not cheap, the quality of the ingredients in the "full english" breakfast was first class. Will visit again.

On a weekend in Cambridgeshire we stumbled across the Old Dairy Cafe when looking for somewhere for breakfast. It was everything you would want from breakfast at a farm shop. We both had a sausage and egg bap, lovely local pork sausages with a creamy orange yoked local egg. It was so good we returned on on the Sunday! This time I had the full english, a real treat that could not be faulted!

This cafe was delightful. We happened upon The Old Dairy while exploring the countryside on a "Bank Holiday" . There was a MaizeMaze that was full of happy children. We were traveling with a 1 year old so we just stopped for lunch. The paella was excellent however being from the states I wasn't accustomed to head on shrimp. We also had a pita with farmer salad and hummus. It was supposed to come with falafel but since they were out it came with yummy sausage. The tomato basil soup was thick and hearty. We had a wonderful lunch and I hope I get a chance to go back.
