The toasties were slightly smaller than I expected, and the pistachio iced latte was a bit sweeter than I would’ve liked. However, the dessert I had was quite tasty. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the environment was cosy yet busy. The seats we had were a bit uncomfortable — there were no cushions, and one of us couldn’t lean back due to wall-mounted drawings. That said, we didn’t have to wait for a table, even as a group of five, which was a nice surprise.

Long Time No See I had a very bad experience in this cafe many years ago. Beetroot hot chocolate something. My first visit and just once, then I didn't return. Found that the cafe was very different than I remembered therefore give it a go. Nothing tasted horrible. Clean and tidy place with a clean toilet. Nothing to complain about. Impressed that they heat the cheese straw for us. You know, some of the 'popular' cafes in Cambridge refuse to heat bread and pastries for the customers. I think it will not be my last visit.

Called in for breakfast one morning. Food was good but the decor is looking a little tired. Around £50 for 4 people for full breakfast and coffee was not bad value for money. I would certainly consider going again

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.

Came in for breakfast with my friend Samir, we were served by a lovely old girl, Madison. She was very bubbly and served with a pearly white smile. The cafe had a great atmosphere and Madison's iced mocha was very delicious. Will definitely return when I am next in Cambridge.

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.

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
