British Pride Bakery Cambridge — Restaurant in Cambridge

Positives: I enjoyed their plain and blueberry scones. They were moist, and they don't try to add any other flavours to them, which I liked. The girl working there was masked with a cloth mask; I was glad that it wasn't just a face shield. The hand pies' pastry is flaky and nice. They seemed to be following all of the Covid-19 protocols like limiting customers in the store, encouraging distancing, and providing sanitizer, and plastic shields at the food counters and even near the entrance - great work!

Negatives: I didn't see any Devon cream to go with their scones. Also, their buns were the worst I have ever purchased. They were dry, tasteless, and burnt tasting (I didn't want to make another stop somewhere else just for buns, which is why I purchased them). Zehrs' buns would have been better. 😮 We threw out the leftover buns. Also, their cheese and onion pie filling for their hand pies tasted like cheap, frozen, cheese pierogi filling from Zehrs, and it was mostly tasteless. The filling tasted processed. I was hoping to find somewhat of a substitute for the amazing cheese, potato, and onion hand pies (at the Handpie Company) that I had in PEI; I...

As an expat Brit, I was excited to find a store that sold imported British goodies near me, but this store is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand they have a decent selection of British baked goods, snacks, canned goods, and candy (or sweets as we knew them in England), but the prices they charge are outrageous. Much higher than other British stores I’ve visited! For that reason, I typically only buy the reduced “out of date” items from here. Their stock is also a bit all over the place and I’ve often gone there for something specific but they’ve run out. The service is good but not exemplary and I also want to add that they charge a 2.26% fee for credit card purchases, which based on their already extortionate prices, is an insult. If there were other British stores close by, I probably would not shop...

What a truly hidden gem in Cambridge! Full of imported snacks and goods, I was so happy to find English Dairy Milk Buttons (my favourite!) Jams, crisps and custards are also found here.

There's an assortment of frozen meats in the back, as well as cold drinks. I picked up a loaf of Scottish bread, which was SO soft and moist - I had a plain slice in my car because I was excited by how good the bread felt and it tastes DELICIOUS just on it's own, highly recommend. The chicken curry pastry is also so tasty, I am impatiently planning my next visit to try the other types.

The store itself is basically spotless and maintained very well. The woman who checked me out was pleasant friendly.

My only regret is ruining wonderbread for myself after having their...
