Tishka in Cambridge

¿Por qué hay más gente que no opina sobre este lugar! En mi opinión, este es el mejor lugar en Cambridge. En los 20 años que llevo, nadie hace un café tan bueno; ¡brindo por otros 20 años!

5 estrellas. 🌟 Increíble pimiento relleno con ensalada y pitta de salchicha griega, absolutamente delicioso! Precioso café y pastel. Servicio maravilloso. Espero con interés nuestra próxima visita.

Ii had a lovely experience at this cozy coffee shop! The food was fresh and delicious, with a nice variety of gluten-free options, which was a great bonus. I especially enjoyed the spicy sauce that added a perfect kick, and the bubble and squeak cake was a unique and tasty treat. The coffee was just right—rich and well-made. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the owner was friendly, which made the visit even better. Overall, it’s a great spot for good coffee and fresh, flavorful food. Definitely worth a visit!

Poor customer service one man show. Food being handled without gloves. Quality and taste acceptable.

Big fan of Tishka. Eddie and Sandrine always look after their customers brilliantly. Food is delicious. They are always very accommodating and nothing is a problem for them! There is a great community feel in the café. Highly recommended.

A wonderful place to enjoy quality breakfast! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The baguettes are super tasty! They are so polite and welcoming people!

Amazing service and will come again!

Eddie y Sandrine me hicieron un buffet maravilloso para mi hija en la fiesta de compromiso de leyes. Estaba muy contenta con él y todos comentaban lo bonito que era. Definitivamente los volvería a usar. Claire

very friendly staff, great breakfast, big portions at a very reasonable price

Lovely simple but tasty homemade food with friendly service. Have seen some reviews mention cash only but this seems is no longer the case. Came here by chance the first time but will definitely go again.

Wonderful food at a very reasonable price! Eddie and his family are wonderful! Highly recommend!

Lovely place!! The service is excellent and the food is really good. Every time I had breakfast in here it made my day better!

Everything is fantastic! I like to order food from Eddie’s menu that sits above the counter. It sets me up perfectly for each day.

It's a pleasure sitting here, watching the owner say hello to people who live up and down the street. Obviously Tishka is a neighbourhood institution, with good seating inside and out and food and drink prepared with care. I don't think there's wifi, and it closes in the mid-afternoon, so it's not a great place to work, but it is a lovely centrepiece to the community.

Awesome little cafe. Everything you could want. Nice food nice service and best of all nice atmosphere. I'll keep getting my breakfast from here.

The owners are extremely friendly, the food delicious, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.

Good food for more than fair prices served by very kind and friendly people. Absolute recommendation for lunch & coffee

I love this place, great food, coffee and especially the owner 🙂 I try to pay a visit every time I'm in Cambridge, this café never disappoints me!

I feel like Tishka has been here forever just doing the same thing as Cambridge evolves outside the door. Lovely straightforward caf with big portions of tasty freshly made food. Really friendly staff - you only have to go a few times before they'll start remembering what they talked to you about last time.

Been here a few times now and it's consistently great -- lots of food choice, really friendly owners, lovely calm atmosphere. The veggie breakfast comes with a huge patty of homemade spicy vegetable hash. My and partner now talk about going here as a treat when we deserve it!

Amazing gluten free! Such a lovely place and Tishka is a lovely guy :)

This cafe is just fantastic. The owners are so friendly and really make you feel welcome. They make a superb bacon roll, the coffee is spot on and the atmosphere is lively. I really recommend you seek it out.

Good food, inexpensive, served promptly and with a smile. Lovely people.

I've been coming here for three years and I'm delighted to confirm they are still struggling to serve a proper breakfast as it's best. Maintaining the quality is not easy as the cost of living has increased a lot in these three years and Tishka tries hard to have a quality over quantity balance constant.

This is an amazing little cafe , excellent coffee and home cooked, top quality ingredients Service always warm and friendly with a smile 😀

Best baguettes in Cambridge. Makes the best homemade chilli sauce

Great menu, perfect for a post rowing boost

Such a nice place, good food, yummy baklava in Cambridge with the most amazing owner.

Really nice little cafe. Not a regular place for me but I had a little accident on my bike nearby and so stopped in for a constitutional (coffee and a sausage and egg roll); regulars in the cafe were friendly and chatty, and the owner was really nice too. Would definitely stop here again if I was in the area.

Traditional rowers cafe. Good range of baguettes and breakfast rolls. Nice coffee. Friendly atmosphere.

Lovely fresh food, local cafe with all sorts of options for a variety of prices. What really makes a difference is just how friendly the staff are (well, it's one guy but he is incredibly friendly). Went there to wait for an appointment at my GP surgery as I arrived early, will definitely be back for a proper sit down and relax!

Tishka has been a great place for my family to visit for the last 18 years. They greet you warmly, remember your previous order and cook the most Amazing food. They build sandwiches to order or take away, breakfast and lunch!

Really friendly staff and amazing tasty food! Only knocked a star off as it’s a little expensive (£7.50 for a pita) but they do fill it to the brim.

Fantastic food, fresh and made with care.

Such a lovely little cafe with so many choices of what to eat. The man that served me and my friend was so sweet and nice, think this will become a regular spot for us!

Didn't like small extra tax for eating in, personally, I prefer to give a good tip if well treated. Menu is a nightmare with dozens of options + multiple values. Food was OK. Probably not coming back.

What a place! Best local cafe for home cooked food. Usually have a takeaway for lunch and it is always superb. Lovely owners too. If you get a chance, try their home made chilli oil; it’s banging

Really nice environment and good breakfast food!

[Cash only] A nice selection of sandwiches cooked from fresh ingredients.

After several visits and wonderful meals here, I can categorically say this is one of the most pleasant eating experiences we have had. The cafe is small, seating less than fifteen or so indoors and outdoors. That small size makes for a cozy ambiance enhanced by an extremely warm and friendly couple of owners whose flavorful Middle Eastern and fusion dishes do not disappoint.

Large menu offering everything under the sun. The wrap contained excellent hummous (must be home made), fresh vegetables, savory chicken. The latte was good.

Great full English and good price. Cash only

Hearty breakfast place run by family. Great after rowing. Cash only.

Family friendly service and good food. Always welcomed back

What a great find. Quiet due to coronavirus but my sister and I spend a good few hours in here. I was having an interview up the road and my sister came with me. She had lunch, coffee and cake. I had coffee and cake. The atmosphere was so friendly and homely. What a lovely couple who run this cafe we put the world to rights and a old fashioned chat. I really hope they manage to stay open through all this uncertainty. Ohhh and if you are reading this.....I got the job! X

Friendly service and the food was great

Eddie and family run one of Mitchams Corner's many cafes. Friendly and chatty, there is a good range of food from snacks to full meals. What sets Tishka apart are the "specials", usually inspired by Eddie's North African origins. Extra special mention for the soups, which are all made from scratch, often using ingredients from their own garden, and beautifully spiced. Unique and delicious.

Awesome Omelette with amazingly varied salad! Love Tishkas, owner is the best!

Very popular with local rowing crews as a place for a hearty breakfast. Nice to drop in for a coffee and bun. Moroccan cuisine features. Often buy delicious filled roll or baguette, favourite filling is hummus and falafel.

Friendly welcome & tasty Moroccan hash brown!

Family run business friendly great coffee and a good place to meet that will not break the bank.

This is an established much loved local offering a friendly, warm welcome to Chesterton residents and Cambridge visitors alike. A cafe for breakfast, brunch and lunch (look out, in particular, for the daily specials). What's on offer covers the classic English bases (a full English for breakfast) with, if you want it, a North African twist ... spiced hash browns and zingy hot sausages add a warming touch on a cold day or after time on the river (it's popular with boat crews). The owners are a French-Moroccan family who really know how to cook (the spiced stews are legendary) as well as how to make customers welcome.There is a take-out service of sandwiches, rolls and wraps made to order (the falafel and houmus wrap is particularly good), as well as daily hot specials. And if you want a change from coffee - the mint tea is the best in Cambridge!

Really tasty and fresh food, lovely mint tea! Super friendly.

Good service. Wonderful nutritious falafel

Great breakfast and friendly staff, only takes cash so make sure you have some!

Amazing food, even better customer service. We’ve eaten breakfast all over the world; don’t let the quaint appearance of the storefront deceive you, this eatery is PACKED with quality food, kind owners, and deliciously fresh ingredients. From their house brewed coffee and espressos, to their Mediterranean lunch offerings—Tishka is a ten star location that we will visit until our travels take us elsewhere. Must try. Like, now!

Found this small but very clean cafe by chance today, on entering the greeting was very friendly and I felt very comfortable, no hurry to order and daily special was pointed out and sample given (it was delicious) opted for simple egg and bacon on toast , it was well cooked with tasty bacon and they had listened when I requested no butter on the toast (very rarely do I get it) we will definitely be back to sample the many items on the menu (apparently Saturday is breakfast day)!!

Tishka’s is run by Eddie and his wife. They are friendly and welcoming to any one who calls in. They make delicious coffees and offer sandwiches, rolls and baguettes with varied fillings. Also salads and daily hot specials. A real gem of a place on Chesterton Road.

Great food, great coffee and incredibly friendly. Make sure you try the homemade piri-piri sauce!

Doesn't look much from outside, but you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover! Staff are friendly, larger than life, and as helpful as they possibly can be. Huge variety of food, both hot and cold, from beans on toast or a sandwich to cooked breakfasts served all day, jacket potatoes, and daily dishes of very tasty comfort food. Highly recommend the koftas, chicken jalfrezi, and chilli, and salads are unbelievably varied. They start with the usual lettuce, tomato and cucumber, then add carrot, sweetcorn, onion, beetroot, olives, gherkins, roasted red and yellow peppers, sun-dried tomato, jalapenos, pickled red cabbage, homemade coleslaw (yum!) and feta cheese PLUS whatever 'main' you like (e.g. ham, cheese, chicken, salmon, falafel, egg). You can also add a variety of dressings. There is an extensive written menu, with vegetarians catered for too, but basically, if they've got it you can have it in any combination you like. We go there regularly, and because I am wheat and dairy intolerant they also now have gluten free bread and soya milk. Moroccan tea is a lovely refreshing drink, and coffee is decent enough. Service is EXTREMELY quick, even when they are busy, but they don't mind you sitting and contemplating life over your coffee. Take-away service too, and as it is only a couple of minutes walk from the river it's great to get a freshly made baguette and a drink and sit by the river to eat and watch the world go by. There are other similar places in the area, all with poorer service, and considerably higher prices. Would give Tishka 10 star rating if I could!

Friendly café. Reasonable veggie breakfast. Good sandwiches. Good tea and coffee.

Great food, fantastic friendly staff, highly recomended

Much better quality than Barkers (a few doors down). Staff are very welcoming.

Lovely friendly cafe! I go every week!

Good value hot and cold food and drink for sit in or take away. European dishes and English breakfast. Very friendly and pleasant cafe.

Nice coffee/sandwich shop with friendly staff. Only downside is card payments aren't accepted - might be useful to have a sign making customers aware of this.

Genuinely excellent home cooked food. Ideal for breakfast before work or an early bacon sandwich

Good place for casual breakfast or lunch. Friendly owner. Bit noisy inside.

Lovely staff great food very clean

Great little café. Staff and regular customers are friendly and welcoming.

Great cafe, friendly staff and good food

Warm and welcoming staff. Excellent selection of food!

Great home cooked southern Mediterranean food served by big personalities. Take the time to have a chat with Eddie the owner. He's quite a character. Only downside is frequent visits will make you fat!

People who class this as a breakfast cafe are missing out. With Moroccan specialities, a gorgeous chicken jalfrezi, chilli con carne, lasagne, or greek sausages in pitta, all on offer, this is a uniquely high quality place to eat. The tishkas side salad is legendary and delicious. Slightly too expensive for me to visit everyday, but a real treat when I do.

Small friendly café on the edge of busy Mitchums Corner. The guy who runs the place couldn't be nicer, decent enough coffee & food and reasonably popular, particularly with a handful of regulars. Good enough pit stop...

If you like spicy soup this is the place for you. I often pop in to get something for lunch. I haven't tried many things on the menu as the soup is so good

early visiting friends so called in here as we could park in the adjoining street. Very polite and friendly service the instant we walked in, even though it was busy. Nice double espresso, maybe a little heavy on the robusta; excellent selection of cakes. Breakfasts we saw being served caused me to regret not ordering a bacon roll. Surroundings not in the luxury bracket, but welcome made up for that. If you've found this review useful, please click 'Helpful' below.

You'll have a nice breakfast here, I guarantee it. The owner is notoriously friendly. Its like your typical breakfast cafe place but loads better.
