Stir

Great range of GF and vegan breakfast options and really clear information from staff about which items could not be made GF on menu. Super friendly and helpful staff. Will be back!

I absolutely love Stir; it's my favourite brunch spot in Cambridge. I used to live just across the road, and was so excited when it opened. It does get very busy, and we have sometimes had to wait up to 20 minutes for a table - but it's worth it! Because I am also sensitive to egg, I generally order a slight variation on their menu items, and they are incredibly accommodating; it's really lovely not to feel like a nuisance. I almost always have a cake as well (although they have sometimes sold out of the gluten free ones if I get there a bit later in the day); if I am still full from brunch, I take it to go.

This place is always busy. Their breakfasts are excellent and staff are knowledgeable. They don't have a GF menu but they make their own GF bread and can swap items out on the menu, resulting in enough options. Do check that their bread is baked separately /oven thoroughly cleaned. I've eaten here plenty of times with no concerns. Good coffee and juice as well.

Good food with gluten free options. They do have gluten free baked goods and when I was there at least they had all the gluten free items on the top shelf of the pastry case.

Before my Coeliac Disease diagnosis, I used to subscribe to Stir’s bread delivery service. When I rang to discuss my new dietary restrictions, the very helpful staff member informed me they offered gluten-free bread but that it was prepared and baked in their small bakery so there was a good chance of cross-contamination. A few weeks later, I was on the cafe side of the shop and noticed they were advertising gluten-free bread. I confirmed with the staff that the bread was made in the adjoining bakery. This is a prime example of the misuse of the term ‘gluten-free’ when they could say, ‘low-gluten.’ They also had some unwrapped gluten-free food in the same pastry case as the food containing gluten. In any case, the food here is nice and it’s a lovely place for a coffee but the food is not suitable for those with Coeliac Disease.
