A church-run community café with a playground and reliable wifi, where the flat white earns its place. As good for a working morning as for a family outing.

Coffee that does its job in a community café that was never really about the coffee.

Bean Theory★★★ Purist

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 Coffee★★★ Purist

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.

Flux Coffee★★ Specialty

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.
