Cafe Bread & Butter

You'll find yourself on Milton Road heading towards the railway station, where Bread & Butter sits as the kind of place locals actually queue for rather than photograph. It's all stripped-back simplicity here—the sort of café that gets its reputation from doing the fundamentals properly. The coffee's genuinely good, the pastries arrive warm, and there's none of that performative Instagram aesthetic that's infected half of Cambridge's café scene. Expect a small, busy counter, a handful of seats, and people who know what they want when they order.
