This used to be one of my favourite cafes in Cambridge four years ago, but unfortunately that's not the case anymore. First of all, there has been a significant drop in the quality of the food offered (especially the brownies). I do not really know if this is partly due to the fact that the cafe is now smaller is size and its new kitchen is not that well-equipped. Secondly, there were small tables outdoors overlooking the imposing King's college. I really enjoyed sitting there sipping my coffee. However, those tables have now been replaced by benches and this is something I do not like as it means that you always have to share your table. The coffee is still good but it cannot make up for everything else.

This place is nice but making most disgusting margirita for ÂŁ6 and when I asked to chang it for an ice cream which was even cheaper they refused with attitude!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously customer satisfaction, guys!!!!!!!!

Very average experience for premium prices. We paid over 20 pounds for two milkshakes, two cold sausage rolls and a pain au chocolat that tasted like it came straight from the supermarket.

I have accidentally dropped my ice cream and a Benets’ employee - unfortunately I have not asked her name - offered to buy me another one. That was the highlight of my day. So, not only are coffee and ice cream here delicious but people are extremely kind

Not sure what's the fuss with the low rating. Oat milk latte and cakes were great. Good service. It's nice to sit next to the bar and watch people passing by on the street

Lovely cafe, nice hot drinks and vegan cafe! View from outdoor seating is beautiful!

Nice but very small Cafe. I had some really good Coffee and Milkshake. Its possible to Order different milk like soya, oak Milk and so on. The taste was good, and youll find also many cakes and really nice Milkshakes. Its also possible to Order icecream. The stuff was friendly and i get my Order after a few minutes. Its close to the University - youll find the university across the street.

The price is expensive I think, although, the milkshake for example was super great. I think there is more expensive because they are in front of Kings College, but anyway. The ambient is cute and I had my order super fast to drink.

Considering the ultra-touristy location, I was pleasantly surprised at the coffee quality here at Benets. An extensive menu and third-wave coffee beans on sale, this cafe can compete with Hot Numbers and Bould Brothers. The gelato is also not to be missed.

We got an absolutely fantastic ice cream from here while staying in the nearby hotel du vin to sneak back into our room! Pistachio and cherry it was out of this world good. Staff were lovely and place, despite end of the night, was very clean and Covid safe.
