The Locker Cafe

Proper coffee spot on King Street where locals actually queue. No fuss, just excellent espresso and pastries.

Walk past the market square towards the Fitzwilliam Museum and you'll find yourself on King Street, where The Locker Cafe has quietly become the place Cambridge's coffee obsessives actually frequent. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is—a straightforward cafe that gets the fundamentals right. You'll squeeze in amongst students, academics, and the occasional hungover postgrad, all united by the quality of what's in their cup. The sort of place where you actually want to sit and nurse your coffee rather than Instagram it.
