26 Oct Afternoontease Cafe review
NEWS UPDATE: AFTER 4 SUCCESSFUL YEARS, AFTERNOON WILL BE CLOSING LATER THIS MONTH- OCTOBER 2017
Heavenly cakes and all day Brunch – Yesterday saw the long-awaited opening of Afternoontease Cafe in King Street. Jo announced the news a few months ago, that she was going to open her ‘dream cafe’ in Kings Street.
Jo has been busy planning and working towards the opening of her own cafe for 7 years and started blogging her baking adventures a few years ago to share recipes and cafe, restaurant and supper club experiences and recommendations. She has been selling her cakes at local cafes, a boutique hotel and at the Folk Museum in their coffee shop on Saturday afternoons.
We popped in with our tour yesterday. The verdict was unanimous; the coffee and the cakes were delicious and my espresso gave me that kick I needed. Perfect! We had her lovely light and nutty Carrot cake, her famed Guinness cake and to top off up her flapjacks, which are filled with a layer of apple and figs. Really nice.
Afternoontease cafe will be initially open this Saturday from 9am-5pm and on Sunday from 10am-4pm. You can look forward to their lovely cakes and brunch will be available all day over the weekend. On Tuesday 29th October they will launch their full breakfast and lunch menus, when you can expect delicious sourdough toast, crumpets, porridge to help get the day off to a good start and a changing selection of sandwiches available for lunch and cake…of course all week long!
Opening times
They can be found at No.13 King Street, Cambridge, CB1 1LH (map here)
Tues – Fri 8 am – 7 pm
Sat 9 am – 5 pm

Not too difficult to guess where will be visiting on our tour again today.
