Le Patissier - Cambridge

Went into this lovely independent cafe for a lovely lunch, bubbley and friendly atmosphere and the lady who owns it could not do enough for her customers with recommendations of the best places to go and see around Cambridge. Food was delicious and quick service But the best bit is the homemade cakes and scones that are out of this world! You must try them on your next trip to cambrigde.

Unquestionably the best breakfast in Cambridge; hearty, with good, fresh ingredients and unlimited tea. A very friendly cafe, centrally located, with a great view of St John’s and plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommended to tourists and locals alike.

I visited this restaurant on a quiet Monday and had to wait 20 minutes for 2 smoothies. The staff seemed disorganized and unsure of which orders were made or who had been served. When the smoothies finally arrived, they were disappointing and not worth the expensive price. It seemed like they were just blended frozen fruit with little flavor. The courtyard was nice to sit in, but overall the cafe felt rundown and like a tourist trap.

We decided to grab some tea at this restaurant and it was excellent. This place is definitely a hidden gem and highly recommended. The food was high quality and the staff were kind, witty, and humorous. It is in a perfect location very close to the colleges and the Botanical Gardens, right in the center of town.

Fantastic breakfasts, tastier coffee than the chain cafes Le Patissier is the PERFECT cafe, whether you're visiting Cambridge for the day, looking for a cozy place to study, or getting a coffee before work. And of course, no review of Le Patissier would be complete without mention of the service. The friendliest, most engaging staff I've been lucky enough to meet particularly Chance (and Pete, in case he reads this). Don't miss out on Le Patissier!!
