The Garden Cafe - Cambridge

The restaurant had long queues and not enough staff. The 'hand made' cold drinks were awful, with my friend receiving a terrible iced tea that lacked flavor. The food selection was poor, leaving both me and the people behind me unable to find anything appetizing. I settled for a plain cheddar roll. The indoor seating area was stuffy, smelly, and noisy, so I had to eat outside in the hot sun as the only available table was in direct sunlight. I suggest avoiding this cafe and bringing your own food and drinks to enjoy in the beautiful gardens instead.

The restaurant is overpriced since they have a captive audience. It would be great if the quality of the drinks justified the cost. I have had some of the worst drinks of my life here, particularly the iced caramel lattes. They are made with excessive amounts of caramel syrup and what can only be described as weak espresso, resulting in one of the most disgustingly sweet cups I have ever tasted.

Everything at this establishment was priced too high. Understandable, as it is a tourist destination. However, charging £3 for a single ice-cream when you can buy a pack of four for £2 at a supermarket is absurd. The food menu, apart from the ice-cream, was unappealing. It consisted of unfamiliar dishes or poorly executed attempts at being upscale by combining incompatible ingredients like herbs and leafy vegetables. Not my idea of a satisfying meal, unless you enjoy rabbit food or want to pay a premium for subpar soup on a warm summer day.

Coffee acceptable but in paper beaker,soup also served in paper container.Water served in plastic tumbler with unpleasant taste.Sausage,bacon and cheese muffin served in brown paper,muffin hard,contents did not taste fresh. Cambridge you can do better than this surely.The Fitzwilliam Museum cafe was far,fsr bettdr than this disappointing cafe food.

Hot drinks and soup served in cardboard cups and the contents taste of cardboard as a result. Pre-filled muffins are heated up in a microwave, consistency of cardboard. The gluten free cakes are positioned next to the non gluten cakes and are not kept covered and flies abound. The staff not very welcoming but are stretched, don’t look into the kitchen area if you want to eat here. Suggest you bring your own picnic. Such a shame as so much more could be made of this snack cafe
