Claire has been running this low-ceilinged passage spot for twenty years, and the homemade food is why people keep coming back. The coffee holds up, which is what you need.

Two decades on St Edward's Passage, food-first, with coffee that holds up.

What we love

  • Owner-run by Claire for over twenty years
  • Homemade soups, ciabattas, and cakes baked in-house
  • Coffee praised consistently alongside the food, not as an afterthought
  • Tucked into St Edward's Passage, one of Cambridge's quieter medieval lanes

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 on site. Come for pour-over from beans they sourced, roasted, and dialled in themselves.

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.
