This is always one of my favorite cafes to visit when in Cambridge. The service, food, and coffee are great.
As for the location, you can't get much better, right in the heart of town amongst the hustle and bustle. Ample seating inside and out.
It has a great relaxing atmosphere, too, especially when someone comes and plays the piano.

Wow, what a place The Deli on the Corner was. Had passed this café many times in the last week and this morning called in for breakfast. Alongside a great menu, there was also a very full food cabinet with lots of beautiful kai.
Service was excellent, and food arrived promptly, actually before the kāwhe which I didn't mind. Kai was scrumptious 😋 and those creamy mushrooms were definitely amazing. It was so nice to have an extra slice of toast to mop up all the gravy.
Kāwhe was perfect and accompanied by a little biscuit, which was a really nice touch. Smoothie was very good, too.
Well, it's worth visiting if you're in Cambridge, I know I will be back when next in town.

Made a stop in Cambridge for some breakfast. Good food being offered, with a rather relaxed atmosphere. Coffee was nice as well.
On the day we had breakfast, they had some strawberries up for sale from a local farmer. I thought it was neat seeing local shops helping out the local community.

Went here based on the reviews, I specifically asked about making proper scrambled eggs (with cream) before I ordered. But I was served a sort of fried mixture of eggs and butter ( and they said cream to) but it was obviously not what it should be. They tried again, same outcome.. frustrating.!

Had a great lunch. We got the big breakfast (top) and half breakfast (bottom). Not a lot of size difference between the two, despite the price difference. Delicious

Absolute value for money. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Good coffee.
Just look for the cafe with a lot of people eating there

The food was absolutely great!
Quentin got the half breakfast - poached egg, kransky, bacon, mushrooms, toast, hash brown and tomatoes. Let me just say the mushroom was divine. There’s something different with the mushroom, it’s flavorful. Made us wonder if they used wild mushrooms.
I got the potato gratin. The poached egg was cooked to perfection. The potato gratin was crispy outside and soft inside.
We also got a flat white and caramel cappuccino and they were A grade.
Best part of the experience is getting to lounge outside under the Sunday sun while enjoying great acoustic music and the heart breakfast we got.
Quentin is reminded of his travels abroad and Sunday’s when he gets to take a rest and just relax.
And we get to do what we both love at the same time - people watch.

Visitor trap... sure the locals avoid this one. Kids burger and chips & ham swirl pastry for kids. I asked if the chicken burger was real chicken as I do not eat processed patties. Young girl on till didn't understand my question... Sure enough it came with a pattie. Disappointed for a $20 burger. Will not eat here again
