Had lunch at this traditional cafe hoping to try the famous “Chelsea Bun”. The cafe has a very nice window display showing off their best pastries and inside there was a counter with lots of cakes displaying for takeaway.
I was seated pretty quickly when I went at midday considering this is a well known cafe spot. We picked Egg Florentine and Chelsea Bun French toast with whipped Greek yoghurt and berries. The Egg Florentine is as expected and the Chelsea Bun French toast is nice but i would think it is actually very similar to cinnamon bun. The service and the seating is comfortable so will be a good spot to drop by for a lunch / tea in Cambridge, would love to try its scones next time though!
Came for the famous Chelsea buns and some coffee. The place itself was quite busy due to its popularity, so we had to wait for a table to be available. However, this wasn't long. The staff is very attentive and friendly, but it gets quite crowded most days, so I would suggest getting a take away if possible. The drinks and the Chelsea bun were very good, and I would overall recommend visiting for the experience.
Breakfast was delicious, only waited 5 minutes to be seated. Did have to ask for cutlery and remind that the syrup for the pancakes was missing, however, staff were very pleasant. Tables were quite tightly packed, so at one point it felt like I was actually dining with others, so not somewhere to go if you desire privacy! Very enjoyable and picked some Chelsea Buns for this afternoon.
