Independent Cambridge: café with a view

The latest independent Cambridge business to feature from the newly-published second edition of the colourful and informative book, Independent Cambridge - which celebrates the fantastic range of independent retailers we have on our doorstep - is a great little café with great views, Café on the Round.

Sited just opposite the famous Round Church (the origins of which date back to about 1130 AD, making it one of the oldest buildings in Cambridge), the Café’s building also has quite a history of its own.

From florists to taxi office and from jewellers to clothes shop, the lovely old building has seen many commercial guises.

Now, under the ownership of Mal, Helen and Lara, Café on the Round happily serves locals and tourists alike with great, freshly-made coffee, baguettes, ciabatta, salads, cakes, pastries and more.

Having previously run restaurants in Harrogate and York as well as having shares in a Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam, Mal has also added some interesting alternatives to the menu. Wraps, soft tacos or quesadilla come with various fillings and home-made refried beans and salsa.

Everything is available as take-out, but if you have the time to stay, make your way upstairs where you can sit, have a break and enjoy a unique view of the Round Church and surrounding area.

All the team at Café on the Round are huge supporters of the local ‘indie’ scene and are always coming up with different deals to encourage the independent trade. For all their special offers, as well as the menu and details about ordering online – just visit the website or pop into the Café!
