About Cafe Camtown
A family from Turkey runs Cafe Camtown, a café and breakfast spot on Akeman St in Cambridge, where a Turkish breakfast and Turkish coffee sit on the menu alongside the English breakfast. Cooking runs from breakfast through to lunch, with lighter breakfast options for smaller appetites. There is no booking system, so customers walk in, order and pay at the till, where someone is on hand to help with the choices. Seating is split between indoor tables and an outdoor area for anyone who prefers to eat in the open air, and dogs are welcome alongside their owners. A step-free entrance lets visitors with mobility needs come and go without a threshold to negotiate. The doors open daily, and service runs through the daytime.

Customer Review Summary
The Turkish breakfast is what draws the most repeat mentions, described as delicious, generously portioned and, in one version, ordered with meat and served with a small baton of bread alongside hummus and couscous. Close behind is the Turkish coffee, called rich and aromatic and often arriving with a sweet treat on the side. Reviewers also single out the menemen, the English breakfast, the house special, and a halal breakfast plate with fresh mushrooms, sausage and beef bacon, while fresh orange juice comes up as something one diner finds harder to get elsewhere. Several note the family run Turkish ownership and the friendly, quick service, and the quiet setting away from busier streets, surrounded by mature trees, with indoor and outdoor seating. One reviewer observes that staff leave tables alone once food arrives, which may not suit everyone, though someone remained at the till to help. Another notes there was no extra charge for non dairy milk.

“Such a cozy little place surrounded by beautiful mature trees 🌿 The Turkish breakfast was delicious, and the Turkish coffee was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The portions were very generous, the service was extremely friendly, and the wait time was surprisingly short. Really warm and welcoming atmosphere — I would definitely come back 😊”

“Been there a few times now. We absolutely love the vibe of this cafe. The people are so friendly and polite. The food is tasty - turkish menemen is my favourite and a big portion; definitely keeps me full most of the day. The fresh orange juice is also something you cannot find as easily in other cafés. A lovely place to start your day.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
