The cup

Third-wave coffee shop owned by Ben Griggs, who also runs the Hone roastery at Waresley Park Estate in Cambridgeshire; all coffee served is estate-roasted and fine-tuned on site, giving this spacious Newnham Road cafe a genuine farm-to-cup provenance. Overlooks the Mill Pond with indoor and outdoor seating and a full food menu.
