Trumpington St0.3 mi from Cambridge centrelast reviewed April 2026

Monmouth Coffee beans, hand-brewed to order as pour-over or flash brew, with a rotating single-origin guest coffee. The no-laptop policy keeps the room built around the coffee, not the laptops.

A Cambridge address where Monmouth Coffee gets the pour-over treatment it deserves.

Single originsPour-over

What we love

  • •Beans supplied by Monmouth Coffee, a named London specialty roaster rather than a house blend of unknown origin
  • •A rotating monthly guest single origin runs alongside the standing espresso
  • •Pour-over and flash brew both served, brewed to order rather than batch
  • •House espresso blend is a named Colombia, Guatemala and Brazil mix, not an anonymous house roast

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

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.
