A 1920 bakery and café opposite the Fitzwilliam, famous for its Chelsea buns. Breakfasts, light lunches, a children's menu and afternoon tea.

What is it?
Cambridge's best-known bakery, opened in 1920, and its star product: the Chelsea bun, a spiral roll with raisins, cinnamon and plenty of sticky syrup. The Trumpington Street branch, opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum, is the original and the only one with tables for a proper sit-down meal: brunch, light lunches, a children's menu and afternoon tea.
When to go
In the morning, before or after the Fitzwilliam, or mid-afternoon for tea. The Bridge Street and King's Parade branches are takeaway: they are good for grabbing a bun on the way to the river. Check each branch's hours on its website, because they are not the same.
How does it fit into the day?
Trumpington Street is five minutes from King's Parade and ten from Mill Lane, where the punts leave. If you are with children, eating here seated is easier than in a packed pub.

Qué pedir: a Chelsea bun, the spiral roll of cinnamon and syrup, to take away or with a coffee.

A tener en cuenta: It also has branches on Bridge Street and King's Parade, for takeaway
