The Garden Kitchen at Kettle's Yard - Cambridge

A really nice place in Cambridge. Unlike someone else commented, I actually think this is one of the only places in Cambridge that doesn't serve the weird sour coffee that brits love for some reason. And food and environment are very nice, next to the Kettle House museum.

Stopped for coffee here, considering the exorbitant price they charge for coffee I expected far better coffee than what was served to me. I also expected better service, no tray provided to carry the cups of coffee. Finally I would have liked the option to pay cash. I won't be visiting again.

It is a very busy gallery and cafe. Be prepared to queue for a few minutes. The food was of very good standard. We had the Spinach and feta pastry and some falafels. The Mocha was very velvety and smooth. There are blankets made available there which you can use on lovely winter afternoon. If you'd like a quick coffee and snack when you are around in the town centre in Cambridge this is the best place to go. There is no table service. It is located in a little lane off the street. Cosy, lovely and good taste.

The Garden Kitchen at Kettle's Yard is consistently a wonderful place to grab food at, or have coffee by yourself or with a friend. The service is kind, the food is always fresh and the variety is vast. Even without an actual visit to the house or gallery TGK is a must.

As the parent of an autistic child it can be an uncomfortable feeling going to a cafe or public space, not knowing how your child’s behaviour will be received. My worst fears were realised at Kettles yards after the humiliating treatment I received as a member of staff berated me for my “unruly” child. I chose to sit outside in a completely empty area away from all other customers so as not to inconvenience anyone. The only people who passed us outside were two members of staff and yet this woman still chose to let fly at me just because by child looked through the glass door into the area where she was working. She also accused him of playing too near her “expensive parasol “ I don’t see how a three year old could possible damage an 8ft tall metal pole on a solid metal stand even if he had touched it. I immediately apologised for his looking at her and coming up to the door, I thought my apology would’ve been enough considering he actually hadn’t done anything wrong but she wouldn’t let it drop or let me walk away with a shred of dignity. I hope the management train their staff to treat neurodiverse children and their carers with more compassion than I received but clearly this woman missed the memo.

Nice place to take a rest in Cambridge.

The environment is great. The presentation of the coffee and cake was spot on but the quality is...a disappointment, coffee has a weird sour taste -definitely not returning!
