5 Blends Coffee House — Restaurant in Cambridge

Short story about the place:

I first saw the place about 2 weeks ago. As it’s situated next to the popular brand “Costa” I never thaught itms going to be as good as it is. “Never judge a book by its cover!” I got in after a good meal at Zi’s piri piri and got a Latte with Mokarabia: The forst impression was :” am I in a Disney Movie? “ the place reminded me about Alice in Wonderland, small and very cosy, just like home.

It has a really nice atmosphere, downstairs has art and the loo is clean... I'm not sure what more people could want? I look forward to my morning visit, and I HIGHLY suggest this little gem.

Lovely little Independent coffee shop, good choice of coffee. You can actually taste the coffee rather than the usual hot milk and no flavour you get from Costa etc. Nice selection of cakes and sandwiches/panini's as well.

The shop itself feels really cosy and welcoming, there's also a quirky downstairs seating area displaying local artists artwork.

Overall I would rather support an independent shop like this than go to a chain especially being...
