The cappuccino is well-made and the welcome is genuine, not performance. Worth knowing if you're near ARU.

Bean Theory is a working roastery in Newnham that happens to have a cafe out front. Single origins traced to the farm, retail beans from the same stock they're brewing.
Hot Numbers roasts its own beans at a dedicated site in Shepreth and pours them here as pour-over, not just espresso. Fifteen years into the operation, this Trumpington Street counter is the retail face of a serious specialty roaster.
Marsi sources the beans, pulls every shot, and hand-throws the ceramics she serves them in. One of those neighbourhood spots that rewards the detour.
