Tatties - Cambridge

Dropped in for a quick coffee and bite. Scruffy looking staff, salad on plate belonged in the bin, Cannoli tasted rank. No hand towels in toilet. When pointing out the basics to who seemed to be in charge just got a shrug of the shoulders. Was told to dry hands on toilet roll. Nice work tatties, keep it up.

Disappointing. Asked for gluten free cake . Was served carrot cake which I had an immediate reaction to . When I mentioned they might want check ingredients the owner/manager said he was 99% sure all carrot cake from the cash and carry is gluten free . Made no attempt to show me the ingredients or allergen list . No care was taken over cross contamination . Cake was uncovered next to cakes that were not gluten free and same tongs used to serve . Now feeling unwell . Nice place but would avoid if you have any sort of food sensitivity .

On a rainy day, I decided to have lunch at Tatties and enjoy a baked potato. I hadn't been there in years and was very disappointed with the quality of the food. The potato seemed undercooked and the skin was pale and not crispy at all. I had expected a piping hot, fluffy inside with melted butter and lots of cheese for the price of £10.50. The potato was a good size but overall, the meal was a letdown. As a cafe named after the potato, I had expected it to be the highlight of the dish. However, the tea was the only redeeming factor.

Off the main street but still close to the city centre can get busy at lunch time but call in after work, ideal place to unwind before heading home. Gino, the owner friendly. Individual atmosphere, an antedote to the 'could be anywhere ' restuarants

Located just off the main streets, this charming cafe offers a diverse menu selection. The service was prompt and the food was delicious. There is also an outdoor seating area available.
