Melbourn Hub — Restaurant in South Cambridgeshire

2025 update: Still a great local place to grab a bite to eat. The chips are consistently fantastic (I know it's such a simple thing to make, but so many places get it wrong). It's been a weekly ritual to have lunch with my toddler at the Hub (with a baby hubbacino!) whilst we wait for the library to open at 2pm. You might struggle to get an indoor table at 12 noon (glad to see it so busy!) but either side of those times is fine.

2020 review: This has always been a great local place to grab an all-day breakfast, everything is cooked well and the service is friendly. What I've really been impressed with lately are the measures they've taken to make sure it's COVID secure. As soon as you arrive, you are greeted, your contact details are taken (or you can scan the QR code on the contact tracing app), and there's a touchless hand sanitizer station. All the tables are well spaced plus there's additional covered seating outdoors. The doors were kept open to allow good ventilation but if it's a cold day I recommend wrapping up warm! When I went today for lunch, I only had to wait a couple minutes to be seated whilst the table was wiped down, even the chairs. I think if you're missing being able to dine out but are a little nervous, give The Hub a try, they've clearly put a lot of thought into making it a comfortable and safe...

Had a bacon baguette and a cappuccino early Saturday morning coffee was nice although waitress spilled some in the saucer and didn't offer to clean it up or fetch me a napkin to mop it up.

At £5.25 baguette wasn't good one piece of dry bacon in each half of the baguette and the baguette had been warmed up in microwave and was soft and leathery may as well had a soft roll - I work near a bakers in a village in South Cambs and their baguettes are crammed with fillings for less price and far better quality. Ive also had a cheese scone here before which they had got out of the freezer and microwaved and was still partly frozen so i wouldnt eat here again based on recent visit. However my mum visits the Hub more regularly in the week and has had...

First time visiting this community cafe today. Really well organised and comfortable seating with the option of cushions for the chairs also. Staff we so friendly and helpful and it was great to see and feel the community aspects with the staff and customer interactions and the library forming part of the cafe also. Americano coffee had a lovely flavour and my jacket potato was a great size and cooked really well so a lovely creamy potato that tasted freshly baked and not reheated or microwaved even at the odd time of 11am. I was stopped here on my work break and will definately visit again the next time I am visiting patients in the community locally. I'm so pleased I DIDN'T head back to Tesco in Royston for my break. Until my next visit,...
