Our first time eating here.
We stopped in for breakfast.
Great, friendly service.
We ordered the absolute breakfast, 2 poached eggs on sourdough toast with a side of grilled tomatoes, chunky fries with aioli. We also had a large flat white and an English tea.
The food arrived in good time and was delicious.
We'll definitely be back when we're visiting Cambridge again.

Never disappoints.
Fresh wholesome food, friendly staff, dog friendly, lovely quiet atmosphere tucked away in the heart of Cambridge.
We always make a bee line for Absolute when we can even just for a coffee. It's like an addiction where we can't stop coming back.
Keep up the fantastic work. 🥰
Namaste 🙏

Went there a few days back. Was told they offered one of the best coffee in town. Ordered an iced coffee (latte? I've forgotten the exact order). It was a good blend between coffee ratio and milk.
Beef brisket burger is great. The beef is seasoned perfectly and the fries were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Chowder is creamy but the main star was the bread that came with it. Unfortunately, the falafel was a bit dry for my taste. But the lamb and salmon made up for it.
Would recommend the seafood chowder, brisket burger and coffee.
The owner was very friendly and accommodating. It was a nice visit.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. Had a beef & bean burrito from the cabinet. Very good flavours and served with salsa and sweet chili sauce on top with guacamole and sour cream on the side. Only thing I would charge is not putting sweet chili sauce on the burrito....it already has salsa. 😊

We visited for breakfast after hearing great recommendations, but unfortunately left disappointed.
When ordering, my meal was repeated back incorrectly. I corrected it at the counter, but when our meals arrived I was still served the wrong eggs benedict. I politely mentioned it, but instead of acknowledging the mistake, the server insisted the order had been taken correctly. We decided to keep the meal rather than have it remade.
The potato rosti and poached eggs were delicious, but overall the food was average. The smoked salmon lacked seasoning, and the coffee was just okay.
Customer service is a big part of the dining experience, and unfortunately that’s where this visit fell short. We won’t be returning and will try another café next time we’re in Cambridge.
