Ellimatta

Regularly grab a lovely coffee & today tried the food today. So so nice Amanda’s homemade frittata and salad was delicious. Great music going on in the background selected by Shane, his knowledge is endless! We had a very lovely time, welcoming and fun what more would you want on a sunny Saturday.

Found this little cafe run by a lovely couple, an Australian and his English wife, just on the fringe of Cambridge’s city centre. The perfect spot for a great coffee or cold drink and delicious selection of sandwiches on homemade focaccia bread before we started our day exploring the city. We had the Campsie (egg with curried mayo) and Drummoyne (ham with pickles and crisps), both of which were delicious and well priced, particularly compared to what we are used to paying back home for something of that quality. They also had other food options such as a frittata on offer. The cafe also has a great little selection of Australian treats as well as a tiny room with vinyl records where you could listen and buy from the owners collection. The service was super friendly and the place felt very homely with a steady stream of what felt like regulars passing by on our two visits. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality bite to eat and good coffee in Cambridge.

Tucked away in a charming corner of Cambridge, this cafe is hands down one of the best spots in town—a true hidden gem that’s well worth going out of your way for. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm welcome from the delightful couple who run the place, instantly making you feel at home. But let’s talk about the real stars of the show: the food. Every bite is a testament to quality and care, from the incredibly tasty sandwiches—bursting with fresh, well-balanced flavours—to the homemade cakes, which are baked daily and taste every bit as indulgent as they look. Whether you’re after a quick coffee and a sweet treat or a leisurely lunch, this cafe delivers in spades. With its cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and standout food, it’s the kind of place you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again. If you’re in Cambridge (or even if you’re not), do yourself a favour and make the trip. You won’t regret it.

Myself and my partner frequent a lot of cafés in Cambridge, for me this is the best! The food is incredible, the owners are pleasant and funny and the different variants of music they play make for a really nice atmosphere. A must try for me. It’s also dog friendly.

Antipodean gem in Cambridge! I can imagine a homesick Aussie doing a double-take at some of the specialities here, but that would be one of many reasons to come here for a flat white, an excellent, filling sandwich, or a sweet treat like the in-house chocolate mousse (one of the best, actually THE best I've ever had) or the homemade Anzac cookies. Owned and run by music lovers, there is even a vinyl room! Clean toilet, lovely friendly service. The sandwiches are truly inventive with a gorgeous vegan option. Wish I lived nearer and could visit more often.

Visted here back in March, and what a place. Great selection of food and drink, obviously lots of Aussie brands you can't usually get here, and a small selection of groceries. The sandwiches are no less than amazing, one of the best I have had in a long time, they are fresh, homemade and packedfull of amazing ingredients and flavour. If you're in the area, head here for lunch it won't disappoint. Service was great - friendly, warm and very helpful (even gave us a free TimTam bar). No brainer about going back.

This is a real hidden gem! Nestled right near Jesus Green, this Aussie cafe is perfect for a hearty, delicious and reasonably-priced lunch and coffee. I had a salad bowl and Amanda (the co-owner) came out specifically to ask what I'd like included. My partner had a sandwich. Both were DELICIOUS. They source their ingredients locally and it's clear that everything is made fresh, to-order and with a lot of care. The coffee was great too. It feels like a really special place and we will definitely be coming back.

Without question the best sandwiches you will find. Not only are the flavours amazing and made with the best local ingredients, but it’s the textures that really stand out. Ingredients sliced incredibly fine but lots and lots in layers so that it’s not a solid block of food but a light, textured bite. The cafe itself is amazing. Cozy and familiar with several racks of interestingly curated used vinyl if that’s your thing. Amazing coffee and a warm welcome from Shane and Amanda. If I worked closer I’d be here every day.
