Ori Caffe

You'll find Ori Caffe buried in the Grand Arcade on Downing Place—that stretch where Cambridge's shopping district bumps up against the colleges. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is: a straightforward coffee bar where they actually know what they're doing with an espresso machine. The clientele's a mix of John Lewis shoppers grabbing a pit stop and locals who've clocked that the coffee here doesn't taste like it's been sitting around. There's something refreshingly no-nonsense about a place that doesn't need to dress itself up.
