Quick info
About Bould Brothers Coffee
On Round Church St in Cambridge, Bould Brothers Coffee occupies a small narrow house with seating spread across three levels, including six tables on the first floor and further seating on the ground floor and second floor. Espresso drinks form the core of the menu, with cappuccino and flat white among the frequently ordered options, and oat milk is offered as an alternative. Cinnamon buns and hot chocolates round out the food and drink list. Orders are placed and coffee served at the counter, and the setup is walk-in with no reservations taken. Upstairs seating tends to stay quieter, with drinks carried up to customers there. Because the house is compact and tables are limited, finding a seat can take some patience, particularly on the ground floor.

“Excellent coffee spot in Cambridge. Bould Brothers has a really nice atmosphere, friendly service, and properly good coffee. The place feels stylish but still relaxed, and it is a great stop for a cappuccino or a quick break while walking around the city. The coffee tastes high quality, and the whole experience feels well put together. Definitely one of the better coffee places in Cambridge.”

“The girls at Bould Brothers are truly angels. Every single time I come in, they're so warm, sweet and welcoming that it instantly puts me in a good mood. The coffee and pastries are amazing, but it's honestly the people who make this place so special. They have a way of making everyone feel at home, and that kindness is something you don't come across every day. It's the sort of place you find yourself coming back to again and again, not just for the coffee, but because of how they make you feel. Thank you to the lovely team for always being so kind and making me feel so welcome. Bould Brothers is the best café in Cambridge, full stop.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the coffee, singling out a cow's milk flat white, a cappuccino, and smooth espresso, with one visitor having a cappuccino every day of a stay. Close behind are the baked goods, where the cinnamon bun and a double chocolate swirl draw praise, along with hot chocolates described as stunning. The counter staff come across as warm, relaxed, and helpful around a nut allergy, and one reviewer had a coffee brought up to the second floor. Several note that the upstairs is comfier and less crowded than the first floor, though a few say seating is limited. The criticism is specific. One reviewer found the pistachio and chocolate pastry so sweet the filling could not be tasted and thought it overpriced for its weight, while another said the oat milk was steamed poorly. Even the pastry critic called the staff patient, and a rainy-day visitor settled upstairs with a cinnamon bun and a coffee delivered to the table.
