Great selection of food. I had a scone with jam and cream, it was delicious. I also tried a taster cake which was also great. All of the other cakes looked rather tempting. They do also serve savoury snacks. Coffee ok but a bit weak and milky. The service was quick and efficient. Prices were reasonable. I'll definitely go back.I've been back many times and it was good as ever. Still highly recommend.I have visited many times since my initial review, the latest was in early May 2022. No need to change my original review, it's still great.

Lovely little cake and coffee shop - busy and with not much seating, but they do takeaway cake if there's no space inside or on the seats outside! And it's really good cake, we go nearly every time we're in St Ives

·

Great cake as always but coffee rather strong today so asked for extra hot milk and then ok

·

Really good coffee and bakery 😋 and outside cafe 👍☕️🥐

We’ve been before a loved this place, food is always top notch but today the service was below par.We queued from the door, nothing untoward with a popular cafe. We could see at least four members of staff behind the service area, working but not rushed off their feet, when we got to the till we were met straight away with the question of “Is it take away”, no greeting or friendly Hello you would expect, my partner explained that we was going to go upstairs to try and find a seat as all the ones down stares where taken, we were told rather abruptly “we don’t have any free seat and I can’t have any more people waiting”, no apology was offered out of politeness, this caught us off guard and we almost felt like we had to order a take away and had no other options as there was a queue of people behind us. If we’d have been informed this when we entered and was waiting we wouldn’t have stayed and would have gone somewhere else as we was looking for somewhere to sit down in the warm and dry to give my partner a rest as she is 8 months pregnant with twins. It would have only taken two seconds to have informed people as they entered that currently there was no available seating and you would only serving take away.After we’d paid we was then told to wait outside for our hot drinks, I know the cafe is small but perhaps instead of pushing people through as quickly as possible you should take care of the people who have already paid for a service rather than allowing them to pay and then telling them to wait outside in the cold and rain, if it was 20 degrees and sunny it would be a different story but it was not. 7 degrees in March, think about the customer please, Costa don’t even make you wait outside. Myself and my partners who might I add again is 8 months pregnant then had to wait outside in the cold, wet and wind for out hot drinks. Too add to the disappointment the milk in my flat white was also too hot and burnt, I know this because the latter (for another customer) that came out at the same time was an “extra hot latte” so I expect it was made with the same milk, I did not ask for an extra hot drink so I wouldn’t expect it.Next time we’ll stick to Costa.

My first visit to Tom's Cakes (and what superlative cakes they are); it certainly won't be my last. Hugely and enjoyably recommended.

Delicious gluten and dairy free cakes. Excellent taste and a nice range of options. Nice little cafe.It was really very busy on Sunday morning, obviously not their fault but worth going at quieter times to really enjoy it properly.

I think this is probably the first good review I’ve ever given but it has to be done. Tom’s cakes are incredible. I’ve been to the Saint Ives store 4 times now and i’ve had something different every time, and every time time it has been amazing. The cakes look and taste amazing, the coffees are really good, the sausage rolls are also top quality. The store itself is really well presented, staff are pleasant. Even the font is amazing. The best thing is that it is roughly the same price as a major chain like Costa but it really is head and shoulders above. Well worth visiting. 👏🏻

Great local place! Excellent food and coffee. Banana cake and sausage rolls are to die for. Highly recommend.

The staff are always so friendly and the cakes and bakes are devine! I rave about this place to everyone.So chuffed they're opening one in Ely too.
