Well Spent: Cambridge
Well Spent: Cambridge
The cafes and lidos that anchor mornings, the bookshops and record stores that offer pause, and the late-night counters that turn cold nights warm with wholesome food and human connection. It's a snapshot grounded in real routines and genuine affection, led by a team fully immersed in the rhythms of the city.
Our Partners: Stir Cambridge
Stir opened its first café in Chesterton in 2015, when founders Judith and Matt Harrison decided that if the neighbourhood didn’t have the kind of café it deserved, they’d build it themselves. Since then, they’ve scaled that instinct for community and quality into a group that now spans Cambridge, from the original Chesterton site and on-site bakery to Marvin’s on Green Street, Histon, the Old Swiss Laundry on Cherry Hinton Road, and Addenbrooke’s. They now employ more than 100 people, with more openings on the way.
Stir and Assembly Coffee began working together in summer 2022, and what’s continued to impress us since is the clarity of intention behind every concept they build. Whether it’s a café, a bakery or a hybrid space, they treat quality and consistency as one standard of excellence carried across food, drink and experience.
