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.
Good to know

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the cinnamon bun and a well made cappuccino or flat white as the draw, with several calling the coffee among the best they've had in Cambridge and returning multiple times in a single stay. The double chocolate swirl and hot chocolates also draw praise, and diners describe the upstairs seating as a quieter spot to sit than the busier ground floor. Staff are consistently described as friendly, warm and patient, with one review noting they handled a nut allergy carefully. The recurring trade-off is space, several mention limited seating and advise planning around it, and one oat milk was flagged as steamed improperly. One reviewer found the pastries overpriced for the portion and overly sweet compared to nearby bakeries, though still praised the service. Diners describe having coffee brought up to them while seated upstairs on a rainy day.

“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.”
