Kerb Kollective @ Cambridge Museum of Technology — Restaurant in Cambridge

Even when the Museum of Technology and the Engineer's House (which this little coffee-hut is sandwiched in between) are both closed, or perhaps especially so (on a lazy Monday), this is a perfect place for a pitstop while walking along the river. The coffee was decent enough, and there are things to eat, too, should that take your fancy. It seemed a little over-priced for what it is, but there's not much around, so perhaps they have a captive audience.. But grab a coffee, and sit watching the strollers, amblers, joggers, runners, cyclists, and more, go by. Or just watch the river. Can't go much wrong, there. (Oh, and there are some very handy toilets behind the Engineer's...

It's a pleasant enough spot, the staff are indeed friendly and the coffee is good: however, all that is exactly as it should be when said coffee costs as much as it does - this place is seriously expensive. £3 gets you just a (very) small latte or flat white - honestly, it's not much larger than an espresso with milk. I finished mine in nine sips - 33p per sip, which when you get 10 Nespresso capsules for £2.50 and make yourself a (larger) latte or flat white .. well you do the math! Next time I'll bring my own in a good thermos and enjoy the river view for less than one-tenth the cost. The cakey things are also good quality, but...

I really wanted to like this place. The setting is lovely, a nice place to sit and watch the river. Unfortunately I had several issues. First my order was charged incorrectly and I had to pay again for the item that was omitted. Then, there was a lump of something (probably margerine) in my milk jug which I didn't notice until I'd poured it into my tea. Finally, I purchased two items, focaccia and a cookie, both of which were so oily the oil totally saturated the paper bags. The cookie was about 50% chocolate which was bit much, I (a devoted chocoholic) couldn't finish it. Just missed the mark...
