Cambridge Cafe

Good Chinese food. I had the veggie fried rice with a side of stir fry mushrooms. Tasty but the rice was a bit tasteless. Just needed more salt I think. And I asked if the rice had eggs. Waiter said no. But when I got it, it has eggs. I’m vegan so that was a bit annoying.

I love Cambridge Café.
A coworker of mine recommended this place to me several months ago. The first time we stopped by, we were underwhelmed. Every time thereafter, however, has been absolutely wonderful.
This is not a place to go if you have daddy’s credit card and you’re looking for rice shaped into perfect rings and designer spice blends. This is a place to go to have a full meal, a mug of hot coffee, and a soda for less than £10.
With Chinese offerings that are better and more diverse than any takeaway in Harrogate, supplemented by British classics like sandwiches and full English breakfasts, there is something here for everyone. As a vegetarian, I’ve never had a problem ordering here. While the veggie menu is a bit small at first glance, the servers and chefs are very accommodating. You can get mixed veg and tofu in almost any sauce.
The food is always hot, fresh, and served with a smile. The pice tag is even better. Just in case you missed it the first time, I LOVE Cambridge Café.

My favourite place to eat in Harrogate.
It’s a traditional family run restaurant which always reminds me of the only chinese restaurant in my home town when I was growing up. It has two menus, an english one with traditional things like an all day breakfast, steak pies etc and a chinese one which may not be as extensive as some places but has more than enough choice to keep me happy. They also do vegetarian options on both menus.
The food is very good and it’s a great place for lunch, especially if you have someone with you who doesn’t like anything too exotic. We took an elderly relative who ate her way through a huge plate of pie and chips while the rest of us had the chinese menu.

came here once and ended up taking a doggy bag home!
the menu is basically a mix of english and chinese food which is very delicious i strongly recommend trying this place out!
also the atmosphere is really pleasant, strangely homely and calm, if you haven’t been here yet you should!
top notch!

Cambridge Café is one of those totally unassuming places that looks like your regular greasy spoon. They’ve got a basic menu of traditional fare, which is pretty good.
However, Cambridge Café is run by a super nice Chinese family, and their Chinese menu is –to die for-​. It’s real, home cooked Chinese food, and it’s amazing. I’ve never been a fan of sweet and sour chicken, but this place’s is so good– it doesn’t taste anything like the neon stuff you get from the takeaway. It’s like having a Chinese grandma cook you delicious food.
Cambridge Café is one of those places I get cravings for, and I live in Chicago at the moment! Any time I manage to get back home, I always make a trip to this place.

This is a café in a league of very few teams what with there being a scanty supply of English cafes with a chinese menu that would keep most chinese restaurants in plentiful business. It’s usually pretty packed out, a testiment to their tasty food at more than reasonable prices. Open throughout the day, but not evenings.
The staff are chinese and very friendly. The service is swift. This café is frequented by a wide ranging clientele, from pensioners who pop in for a coffee, to teenagers after a good feed for a fiver. Where Betty’s is the place for delicious coffee at sky high prices, immaculately served, this is the place for a steaming mug of instant at about a pound a pop, served with a casual, warm smile, to be enjoyed while partaking in some excellent people watching. Perfect for a cold blustery day with good company: o)
Their English menu ranges from toasted baguettes to omlettes to beans on toast. The standard is fair to middling and the portions are big.
The chinese menu is much larger and includes all the expected classics chicken fried rice, mixed meat noodles, singapore fried rice, beef and tomato (all about £5.50, rice included with all main meals). It’s all tasty and served in large quanties. You’ll leave with change in your wallet, a full stomach and a satisfied grin on your face.
There aren’t many places where you can have a casual, very reasonably priced chinese meal at lunchtime, I don’t think many cities the size of Harrogate would have an equivalent. It’s wonderfully unique. A visit is highly recommended.
