  “Enjoyed a lovely sandwich in this incredibly sweet cafe. Such a friendly worker behind the counter and just totally incredible atmosphere. Nestled away from a large road, my moments sitting there were pure bliss.”

  “A nice local coffee shop. Friendly service. Relatively free of the tourist hordes. Excellent oat flat white (which is rare in the UK). 👌”

  “Espresso Lane has become our go-to coffee spot whenever we're in Cambridge. The coffee is exceptional, featuring locally roasted beans from Butterworth's, and there's always a tempting range of freshly made cakes and toasted sandwiches on offer. What really sets it apart, though, is the atmosphere. The owner creates a genuinely warm and welcoming environment, taking the time to make everyone feel at home. Friendly service, great coffee, and consistently high-quality food make this a place we return to again and again.”

  “A real gem in Cambridge. The coffee is consistently excellent, made with high-quality locally roasted beans, and the selection of cakes and toasties is spot on. What makes Espresso Lane stand out is the genuinely friendly service – you're always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. The owner clearly cares about both the quality of what's served and the experience of every customer. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or staying for a catch-up, it's a fantastic place to visit. Highly recommended.”

  “Espresso Lane is a nice spot for good coffee in Cambridge. I had a flat white and a mocha brownie, which was decadently amazing. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. A good place to stop for a quick coffee or a short”

  “At the heart of historic Cambridge but the on a tranquil small lane from the bustling throngs with a beautiful view of the church (and magnolia). Homemade food look amazing (Moroccan lamb stew and mocha brownie?!). Will come back to try them next time! And the items will rotate and change. Macchiato is pretty good. Topped with lovingly steamed foam. Despite the mixed reviews, the espresso today is pretty balanced. Strong, with a fresh acidity and not bitter at all.”

  “Nice cafe in the center of Cambridge University. It’s quite pleasant and quiet, despite being close to a big street, and their coffee was pretty good (and strong!). The service was friendly and fast. It’s quite small though, so don’t count on finding space for large groups.”
