Prince Albert Old English Pub

Reviewed By Rick M

There are not many options in central Cambridge for a quiet drink and pub meal, so this was an excellent find - although off the main street it is down the back behind the shops. We struck it on a quiet day - a few drinks, sport on TV and a good steak feed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and i'll return next time i'm back in Cambridge.

We took a Sunday Lunch group to this lovely venue last weekend. Group members have asked to return, which gives an indication of the great food & service we experienced.The views over the Waikato River were beautiful. Kate was extremely pleasant & easy to deal with when we were planning the trip.

Cafe 9

Reviewed By marlainac2015

Bright, clean airy gorgeous little cafe, fantastic smiles wonderful service. And to top it off the owners cute 7 year old brought my toast out, too cute. Coffees came out fast hot very strong with undertones of liquorice, creamy and smooth. I had a breakfast quiche, bacon and tomato it was delicious. Pastry crust beautiful and light. My advice, slow down take time out you will love this darling cafe as much as I did.

Well this was a let down. Staff were not overly excited to be there, no helpful, no one checked up to see how our meals were even when we were paying. The meals were average at best. The sourdough toast was so tough we could have done with steak knives. The kids couldn’t eat their cheese toasties they were so tough, and the cheese wasnt even melted properly. Really gutted.

The Lily Pad Cafe

Reviewed By chynna

After hearing about this cafe and thinking we should try it sometime we decided to go for a late lunch on a recent Sunday. Fortunately we were just outside of the peak time, and arrived around 1:45pm - which enabled us to get a table, however we were lucky to even get a table then as it was very busy with most tables still being used.We were very happy with our meals, and the short time it took for them to be brought to the table.The staff were vigilant and brought us our pre-ordered coffees as soon as we had eaten - just like we had requested. Top marks for this great service!The cabinet has an amazing selection of cakes and slices etc, and we look forward to going back again to try something from there in the future!

This little cafe is a great place to eat. A varied blackboard menu and lovely cabinet food. I had the eggs Benedict with kumera mash and bacon. Oh my goodness it was delicious. The eggs were perfect and the bacon crispy. The decor is definitely 70’s with retro tables and chairs that don’t match but what the heck, the food is great.

Reviewed By kinx81

Tried a number of dishes: calamari, pizza bread, scallop bao and the roasted cauliflower and Camembert salad with tahini dressing. Wasn’t expecting the salad to taste so sweet, think they mixed the dressing with honey Dijon mustard. I wouldn’t order that again but only because it’s not my preferred flavour. The presentation and quality was very good. The pizza bread was my favourite! Excellent Zephyr cider too!

Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar

Your stylish local. Great service, innovative seasonal menu, extensive selection of craft beers and boutique wines. Serving delicousness from 11am, 7 days.

Reviewed By JohnPaul1950

Spot on and with near perfect presentation. Imaginative combinations of flavours and textures, with a few surprises, all presented in an artistic setting on your plate... Heaven..!! The service is attentive without being obtrusive which is rare nowadays.Sadly, we could not have their 6 courses degustation menu which is held only 3 days a week as we had to leave town before. Definitely a must on our next visit to Cambridge though.
