About Le Patissier
On St Johns St in Cambridge, across from St John College, Le Patissier is a cafe, bakery and tea room taking walk-ins throughout the day. The kitchen serves all day breakfast, with a full English and a vegetarian option, plus the choice to add extra eggs, and coffee or tea comes with the meal with refills included. Afternoon tea brings scones with clotted cream and jam alongside cakes and a mix of sandwiches, including tuna, egg mayo, and salmon, while English Breakfast Tea is served with scones, butter and jam on its own. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to sit outside. High chairs are on hand for families with young children, and dogs are welcome at the tables. No booking is needed, as the cafe operates on a walk-in basis every day of the week.

Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast draws the most praise, described as delicious and plentiful, with coffee or tea as much as you want included. Reviewers also name a vegetarian breakfast, a Rowers breakfast and a ham-Brie panini. One diner who starts the day around 2pm was glad to find all day breakfast, with extra eggs available for a reasonable price. Close behind is the afternoon tea set, where scones with clotted cream and jam, giant cakes and sandwiches such as tuna, egg mayo and salmon were generous enough that one party took half home. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and quick, and one reviewer mentions banter between the owner and friends stopping by for coffee. The criticisms are small: one reviewer wished for a second vegetarian sausage, and another noted an odour in the room and suggested the kitchen needs better ventilation. One couple who asked about the English Breakfast Tea they enjoyed with fresh scones were given a packet of tea bags by the owner.

“All day breakfast! I'm a day sleeper and my day starts around 2pm. Being able to find an amazing breakfast this late in the day is absolutely magical 😍 You can add extra eggs for a reasonable price if you're extra hungry. Many thanks!”
