What Rachel Howard likes about Cafe@abantu:
I loved the atmosphere and decor of this cafe. I had a milkshake and my mum had a tea. We also ordered food: date flapjack and chocolate orange rocky Road. All was lovely and delicious however the guy who served us used his bare hands to plate the food, I would have expected gloves or tongs but overall good : View all feedback. What Alícia Cruz doesn't like about Cafe@abantu:

Staff was friendly enough, however we did have spoiled cream with our scones, I wasn’t too sure what the off taste was until after smelling the cream Pots and trying the cream on its own to realise it was sour.

Cafe Abantu offers a mixed dining experience with friendly staff, excellent coffee, and delicious freshly prepared food. Despite some reports of spoiled cream and poor coordination of orders, the cafe boasts cozy ambiance and wonderful cakes. The portion sizes are generous, and the cafe is set to move to a more central location soon. While service can be hit or miss, this unpretentious spot is a good choice for casual dining in Cambridge. With a menu ranging from carrot cake to bacon brie cheese toasts, Cafe Abantu is a solid option for both locals and visitors alike.
