A lovely place. We got caught by heavy rain and decided to get inside. It was a good decision, as the food was delicious, the drinks tasty and the atmosphere and service just perfect. Also a very friendly staff.

Had a great couple of toasties. Jerk Chicken, cheese and mango salsa. The salsa was the bomb. Lovely staff too. Want to come back to try the goat curry and rasta pasta. Thanks for lunch!

This place is one of the best in Cambridge. I stopped in with a friend and had a chocolate cookie (which is out of this world) and a hot chocolate which was awesome. The staff are wonderful and friendly and the place has a really chill and relaxing vibe. I honestly cannot fault the place at at all.

Dropped by on a Friday morning and got the jerk chicken toastie, beef pattie and signature french vanilla latte - all were delicious! They also offered student discount without us asking for it and looked after us very well. Highly recommend this cafe!!
