  “Nice place to sit by the water. We only had food and unfortunately weren't impressed. It took almost half an hour to heat up a sausage roll and make a toastie. The sausage roll arrived upside down and when I turned it over it was burnt! Like they were trying to hide the fact?! And the toastie was almost inedible some of the crusts were so hard. Can't speak for the drinks, maybe they are better!”

  “Lovely coffee reasonably priced for the quality. Really nice to sit by the river and they don’t charge extra for alternative milks which is always a bonus”

  “A lovely café with a peaceful atmosphere and a view of the pond. It’s a great place to enjoy a coffee, relax, or get some work done. The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cambridge.”

  “Didn’t order coffee, but enjoyed maybe the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Also had a vegan raspberry pastry bar that was tasty. My companion had a very good scone with clotted cream and jam, and a dragonfruit smoothie. Spacious and casual atmosphere, several single tables occupied by wfh or students on computers. Some outdoor tables. In a quiet delightful part of town.”

  “Good location with views from most tables. Air-conditioning indoors very much appreciated on a hot day. Unfortunately the flat white was very average. Quite watery. The toasties took a long time arrive. Apparently the kitchen forgot about us. They were quite tasty, but I would say small for the price.”

  “Enjoyable lunch break at the Bean Theory Newnham before heading to Grantchester along the River Cam, via The Meadows and back.”

  “Had a coffee. It was nice. Interior was spacious and attractive with comfortable enough seating. Particularly liked the location, being a stroll across the fen. Toilet sign looks like it is for “someone on a windy day” which I assume means gender neutral.”

  “There is definitely room for improvement with the latte art, but the coffee is decent and the views of the river are stunning. Comfortable seating and friendly staff. What more to ask for?”

  “I enjoyed coffee at this beautiful place. The atmosphere is special, and the coffee is delicious and of excellent quality. The place boasts a wonderful seating area, both indoors and outdoors. It's located on Al-Nahd Street and very close to the city center. It's absolutely fantastic—clean, quiet, and the staff are very respectful and friendly.”
