Urban Larder in South Cambridgeshire

They used to offer nearly all their sandwiches vegan and now they don't :( only option is mushrooms n my partner hates mushrooms so we couldn't get it , used to do a baked bean one, make it more accessible for vegans again!

We have lots of coffee shops on Romsey Broadway, but Urban Larder is my favourite. Excellent service, good selection of drinks and food - including some very interesting salads. It even has a toilet!

Small place, no room for the buggy so I had to sit outside which was still tight with the buggy blocking the door. Barista barely looked at me and I felt like I was in her way. Coffee flavour was nice but the latte I ordered came in a very small cup (maybe 4 oz?) which felt like a rip off given it was full priced. Almond croissant was okay.

Urban Larder in Cambridge is easily one of my preferred cafes. Their coffee is absolutely delightful, and I'm a fan of their delectable homemade bakery and pastries. The service here is exceptional, which is why I'm a repeat visitor. Plus, they have some eco-friendly perks: if you bring your own coffee mug, not only do you help reduce disposable cups, but you also receive a discount. Additionally, don't forget to take advantage of their Friday morning special – order takeout coffee before 11 am and enjoy a discount!

Lovely cafe and one of my favourites in Cambridge. I always recommend it if someone says they are in the area. Amazing food and coffee, and the staff are always lovely!

Favourite cheese toastie and coffee in Cambs! Nice seating area outside on mill road too!

A very casual cafe in the heart of the Romsey neighbourhood of Cambridge. Usually quite crowded. Sit outside for people-watching. Friendly service, but hit-and-miss when it comes to clearing plates. Very tasty cheese toasties form almost all the menu. Be prepared for the steep cost--the cheapest cheese toastie costs £8.00 to eat in! The fact that I've come back a number of times points to the quality of the toastie--but also that I live just minutes away.

Nice food but wildly overpriced. At the end of the day, it’s a cheese toastie. Almost £10 is a bit much. Will choose elsewhere in future

Amazing coffee, toasties and service. 100% recommend if you're in the area for a coffee!

Small, relaxed coffee. Very nice service and delicious breakfast

Nice vibe, nice people, nice coffee. It was not lunchtime for me but the food smelled good too ☕🤤

Amazing Cappuccino, disability friendly and helpful staff.

Nicely executed coffee, delicious reuben grilled sandwich. Can't fault the service. Ambience was relaxed, and sitting by the road on a sunny day was enjoyable. A delightful little Cambridge cafe.

This place is fantastic, staff, food, coffee all good, if you're in the area and hungry, go here, you won't regret it!

Stopped for a coffee and it was very nice. Service was excellent and cost very good too.

Food, coffee and atmosphere is always amazing! Highly recommended

best coffee shop around! Great coffee (and toasties), friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

My favourite coffee place in Cambridge, highly recommended!

Cheese and sausage toasty. Best ever.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, fair prices 👌

Great cafe, amazing cakes. Prices are a bit expensive. Nice cozy seating area. We really like this place, one of the best independent cafes in Mill Road.

Easily my favorite place in Cambridge for a quick (healthy or not ;)) lunch!

Excellent coffee quality, and tasty pastries.

Lovely small coffee shop with amazing breakfasts ☺️🙌 Was so nice to come back 👍

Great spot for a toasted sandwich and coffee while watching Mill Road pass by

just excellent. great coffee and granola pot. Friendly and pleasant. Price is reasonable. Parking is easy.

Cosy but still a bit Spartan . I went for breakfast and fancied the Bacon bap. The menu stated that it was a buttermilk bap ? Looked like a traditional bap but turned out to be disappointing. Two lovely slices of back bacon but spoiled by the bap which was too light ,insubstantial and sweet to go with the bacon. Why not use traditional baps ? Or at least offer a choice of baps?Tea was excellent and at least 2 cups to the pot. Nice helpful staff.

Delicious coffee (flat white!!), hot chocolate, teas, pastries, cakes toasties and my favourite, granola pot. I like to come here in the morning and occasionally work from there, whilst having my coffee and breakfast. I took one star off atmosphere because it's quite cold there in the winter, and the bathroom seriously and urgently needs upgrading (and is also super cold).

The hospitality and ambiance is really nice. They were also quick to serve my order. I am not a fan of coffee but their coffee tastes good. The toast was hard 🥲 You better order something else, their other bread/cakes looked good.

really lovely place. staff are so friendly. such a nice chill vibe. consistently delicious whether it’s food or drink. a little gem in cambridge :)

The best toastie I have ever had! Such a great little find. The staff were lovely and the food was divine.

Absolutely lovely toastie with sausage caramelised onion and loads of cheese Never tasted nothing like it before 10/10 well worth the stop and had a great coffee Great place will definitely return and 100% recommend

Had a coffee and hot chocolate there. Both were good. They serve toasties, but no gluten-free option, which is a real shame, because it would be really easy to have a gluten-free toastie option

A lovely smile to welcome us on a sunny afternoon at this light and airy, basic, rustic Mill Road cafe. We sat outside in the sunshine at one of their little tables watching the world good by whilst enjoying a flavoursome latte (excellent, would recommend) a chai latte a toasty and a crumble slice. All very tasty. Great find.

Strong coffee Gentle music Not too busy at 8am Eggs (they only do fried, therefore 4* from me) & sausage on toast

Best coffee in Cambridge! Good selections of pastries, cakes, sandwiches and salads. Really lovely service and friendly staff. Nice branding cute illustrations :)

Great coffee and the Ginger & Lime cake is one of the best I’ve had!

Limited menu (toasties, salad, etc, but fresh). We had a super hearty salad which included a fab hummus - absolutely delicious. Iced drinks good too. The loo though, perhaps being refurbed, perhaps not, room in a terrible state. The white loo door is absolutely filthy and blackened. GUYS YOU NEED TO SORT THE LOO DOOR THAT'S VISIBLE WHILE WE'RE EATING. * CROSS-CONTAMINATION ISSUE ESP IF KITCHEN STAFF USE TOO*

Vibes and prices are unbeatable

Great atmosphere and one of the best flat whites I had! Will come back

Best bacon baps in town...Ok that's not a definitive statement as I have not tried bacon baps at every single establishment that serves them in Cambridge. But it is the best I've tried and I do know my way around a bacon sandwich. Coffee great too!

Incredible toasties and, surprisingly, the best coffee on mill road in my opinion. Great service too. The toastie menu is a little reduced recently which is a shame but there’s more seating now and it’s still my favourite thing about living in this area.

It’s the second time I come to this place and now I have tried a nice range of food to be sure this place is a gem on Mill Road. The vegan option was delicious and fresh, the vegan cheese was decent (a very difficult task), the brunch was delicious and good enough size to me. Today I just had the most delicious ginger and lime cake. It is not an easy thing to make a moist, fluffy vegan cake and this was just tick all the boxes for me. I will be returning on a regular basis.

BEST BISCUIT DONUT EVER (oreo) cant stop thinking about it weeks later…

The food was very delicious. I ordered the potato salad. Although there was quite a lot of nigella seeds on the cucumber. Luckily I love nigella seed :)) . Food came quickly and staff were friendly. Overall a very positive experience

Lovely little cafe. Delicious coffee, pastries and delicious toasties. We managed to get a table inside (but could have gone outside). Really friendly staff and lovely take away packaging. Definitely recommend. Only downside is parking is a little difficult, but there are free parking streets within walking distance.

The Larder is a must-visit spot in Cambridge! Excellent toasties, amazing salad boxes and the *most* consistently good coffee. They use Butterworths speciality coffee which provides a really tasty, classically profiled espresso. The staff are always delightful and are really passionate. Do yourself a favour and go today!

Delicious granola pot and cheese toastie. Tea and coffee first class. Friendly and warm service. Can see why it was full at 1030 on a Sunday morning.

I had a Reuben toastie there a while ago and I still think about how good it was. I went in recently and couldn’t see it on the menu. Plz re-think this salty error of judgement!

Staff are nice but the coffee is very inconsistent, sometimes ok sometimes terrible

Des supers bons toasties à prix accessibles. Service gentil et toujours de la bonne musique

Great toasties and beautiful Butterworth & Sons beans

Great toasties on the sunny side of the street yum yum

Fantastic coffee and lovely people!

Hit the spot is an understatement!

These people are so nice!! We came in with a bunch of luggage and they didn’t make us feel bad at all. They were very welcoming. The coffee is amazing. Some of the best I’ve had in the UK!

A really lovely little coffee shop with very friendly service, they only reason I don’t go more often is because usually it’s full! 🥰

Simple and delicious food and coffee !!!! 5/5

Cher’s chorizo toastie was tasty. The salad box today was curried butternut squash with chickpeas and mixed bean salad topped with pickled cabbage. The grilled falafel was a bit toasted as well. All finished with the almond berry cake. No better way than to spend a sunny afternoon in Cambridge!

My first time here was lovely, really nice staff, tasty coffee and massive, delicious toastie

Fantastic little cafe with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious snacks and drinks and out of this world toasties. The cafe is quite small with not many seats inside. There is some outside seating which is nice on a sunny day. The coffee is really good, well balanced and the brownies and cakes on offer are amazing. Toasties are amazing. Literally no other word for them. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Five stars for a banging tshirt and respectable coffee. Hot chocolate isn’t to be missed and the toasties looked like a good reason for a second visit. Staff were particularly helpful too

Super cute cafe. Good selection of sourdough toasties (caters to vegans and meat eaters), coffee, tea and sweet nibbles. I went for the mushroom & aubergine toastie and a banana bread. Delicious!

Probably the best coffee on Mill road and one of the top in Cambridge. Totally recommend as the quality is great.

Brilliant coffee! I wager it’s the best in Cambridge.

A hidden gem. Seating limited being such a small place but the coffee is great!

Nice coffee and great toasted sandwiches. They do a cheap deal on takeaway coffees on Friday mornings (written in 2021).

Favourite coffee place in Cambridge. Just amazing attention to every cup. Hats off to these guys.

Lovely staff, great coffee and legendary toasties!

Good Coffee and some great toasted sandwiches, all round a favorite lunch spot

Nice little place which offers great toasties. The ingredients seem to be good quality ones and the portion size is good. There are different options to choose and I think I will return to try others. The only downside is that there are not many places to sit.

I always think I'm going to like it more than I do. Sadly card only. Homeless?

This is one of our favorite places in Cambridge for coffee and cake. Their toasties are great too. Used to be a great spot to sit and watch people on Mill Road, but with covid, it is now takeaway only.

The toasties are not exactly light but they are DELICIOUS and worth the wait!!

Good coffee super friendly staff and finally found a Cruffin in the UK!

One of the best and simplest places to eat in Cambridge. The prices are reasonable and the food is 5 stars. The cheesy gooey sandwiches are the best, and you can add a host of extras to the sandwiches which increase the taste. They're also available for delivery which makes the thing more delicious!

Smooth service and excellent coffee!

Popped in for a toastie on the go, and their falafel sandwich is simply delicious! Nice banana bread as well. But the toastie takes the cake ;) Definitely worth a 30 minute walk into town!

Due to the third Covid-10 lockdown the Urban Larder presently is only available for takeaway (with the occasional need to queue) or delivery. It seems that currently there is a reduced menu on offer compared with the pre-Covid menu.. I got a takeaway of a salad box and coffee. The Covid-10 safety arrangements are very well thought out and executed. I felt really safe going to the counter to place my order. From previous visits I remember that staff used to be friendly and chatty. This time they seem to be neither. Maybe it was because it was near closing time and they were tired. The food was spot-on. Fresh, crunchy and very tasty and a good-sized portion. My decaffeinated coffee had a lovely creamy mellow taste. So much so that I wished I had ordered a large cup instead of the regular size.

Excellent coffee! Some of the best in Cambridge. Very helpful and friendly staff. Toasties are great also if you are feeling peckish.

Lovely coffee steve in the black van today friendly staff xx

Fantastic coffee, Great cake,Toasties and awesome staff

Best falafel vegan tostie in town!!!!

Amazing food and the service is exceptionally nice!!

£10 for coffee and a sandwich, but it's worth £10. Sandwiches are huuge and crammed with fillings. Would go here again, but maybe not everyday. Can't afford to!

Please don't go here if you're after real, classic tasting coffee. They only offer 6oz and 12oz coffee sizes. I asked for a 6oz oat latte, and I wish I'd taken a picture but they served me HALF of my cup and the coffee had bizarrely strong sweet notes. Suffice to say, the coffee was not good, we will not be going back. I don't think this little place have done their research properly but you have Hot Numbers literally a block away from them serving really good coffee (offering 10oz, 8oz, 6oz and 4oz ) and you have Maison Clement about 4-5 blocks away serving spectacular coffee (9.5 oz 7.5 oz).

Always lovely to start the day with coffee and a bap from here. The staff are super friendly too!

Had the most delicious, fugdy brownie from here. Coffee is a treat too and the staff are nice and friendly.

Coffee better than Hot Numbers. Fact.

Wonderful joint, great coffee, friendly staff. Lockdown positive. Making it easy to social distance and get your caffeine hit :)

The best toasted sandwiches we've ever had. Delicious.

Excellent little cafe. Most wonderfully creative and delicious cheese toasties (grilled cheese sandwiches?), baked goods, and coffee. Definitely recommend this Mill Road gem.

A very nice small indie-café, focusing on pastries, toasties, and cakes. Good coffee. The space is small, warm, charming, family-friendly, and slightly noisy. There are very few vegan options, and very few non-bread options. Wines, beers, and cocktails are offered in the evenings.

Great place, amazing coffee and I love the almond croissant :-)

Serves great coffee consistently and across all staff members!

This place indeed has a very urban feel about it. ... The good: good food and acceptable coffee. Nice atmosphere if you like crowded (see ‘bad’). Not only hipsters, but also hipsters. Friendly staff, good service. Bad: crowded. As in : very. Which, I guess, in principle is a good sign. But it made the air (as in: breathing, not atmosphere) in the place rather stifling... So: a good place to go for a coffee, snack and a chat. Banana bread was delicious, coffee better than in most places in Cambridge.

Awesome place with some great coffee and food. Staff are always in good spirits, always nice to have friendly place to go to in the neighborhood. Love it!

Consistently ignored by clickbait articles that list the best coffees in Cambridge. Sort of a shame, but it just adds to the sense of this place being a hidden gem. And it is. Lovely staff, coffee, food and cosy environment.

Really nice coffee, and lovely natural light inside. It's acceptable to work or read inside, but they discourage folks from staying too long.

My favorite coffee shop in Cambridge. There’s good turnover in the seating options since they kindly ask patrons to not use the cafe as an office. Their coffee rivals other favorites in Cam (hot numbers, bould brothers). At lunch time they serve a three salad mix which is choc full of healthy ingredients and changes everyday. And when it’s nice out they have outdoor seating which gets great sun.
