Great service! We had the sweet potato and black barley soup with two of their specialty grilled cheeses. Hands down the best lunch I’ve had in Cambridge. Coffee was rich in taste and very affordable in cost. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re around.

Trying this cafe for the first time for brunch. I'm excited to see new food & drinks menu compared to other cafes that seem repetitive, this one feels more unique and has its own identity. Everyone is friendly. Although our food order came late (they forgot to cook it), it was resolved quickly. We ordered the seasonal menu Rose Earl Grey Latte and it was hands down the best drink I've tried so far while in Cambridge. Honestly my day was made after my drink came, so that's why I'm not that upset even when my food order was late. It was a seasonal menu and I hope they make it to the general menu because I will be coming back for more! Another downside is I wish the cafe could be cleaner with the floor. But the food was great.

I had a gluten-free brownie and a cappuccino here, and it was an absolute treat. The brownie was served on a charmingly small plate with an equally petite fork—such a thoughtful presentation that really added to the experience. The cappuccino itself was great—smooth, rich, and well-made, hitting the spot perfectly. The shop had a lively atmosphere with some fun, light-hearted banter among the staff and customers, which gave the place a warm and inviting vibe. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee or a relaxed snack, this spot offers a great balance of quality drinks, tasty bites, and good company. Highly recommend!

Small, friendly and quirky cafe. Can’t say a lot about food there since we only stopped for a cup of coffee after a walk :) Our coffee was good though not spectacular and I also loved that they serve pastel de nata. It’s one of my favorite pastries of all time and I always order them if possible. Was really happy they have it at Abantu! Other than that, loved how nice the staff members were and enjoyed looking at all quirky small decorations and plants. Lights were one of the downsides, too bright and uncomfortable for my taste.

We come to Abantu almost every day and have never been disappointed. First of all, every member of staff is so lovely, friendly, and helpful, especially Maria and Mandy, who go out of their way to ensure we have a lovely time. The food and drink is also excellent. The pastries and cakes are incredible as well as the options served on the lunch menu. One thing we also love it how fresh it all tastes, we are always spoiled for choice. We are so happy that we have found such a lovely local, friendly cafe that we can always rely on for an amazing experience. The best cafe in Cambridge! Henry and Lydia

Stopped here for lunch during a shopping trip. It was so tasty. We chose the Turkish eggs that were delicious. Good service and very friendly hosts.

Lovely indie coffee shop with a good food menu with #vegan options. In the pictures The Vegan brunch option which was delightful however the sour bread was close to impossible to cut with the knife provided. The poached eggs my friend had were perfectly cooked. My lavender and apple latte was an interesting experience although next time I’ll try their coffees instead. #DearLocal
