Hot Numbers Coffee | Trumpington Street | Cambridge

Really not sure what's happened to the breakfasts since my last visit in March?The service and beverages are still very good, but, just bear with me to understand the cognitive dissonance I felt: Mid June - We were each presented with two slices of processed dry toast with two split sausages on one plate and two tiny badly presented poached eggs on the other. Each plate cost £7.25. With the sausages - two catering sachets of mustard (containing wheat) and with the eggs two catering sachets of butter. Given we'd asked for gluten free, the mustard was an oversight. Early March - We had pulled pork belly with hollandaise sauce, generous poached egg and wholegrain mustard with herb garnish on a soft centred lightly toasted muffin - sublime and all gluten free for a tenner. I posted this amazing brunch to my GroupChat - and left a recommendation of Hot Numbers with my guest house. All I can imagine has happened is an economy drive, but, I would be happy to pay more for something that special!! I suggest the owners watch The Bear on Disney Plus to see how transformative for everyone a great chef and good food can make a place feel.

Delicious food, loads of gluten free and dairy/lactose free options

Gluten free options are pretty horrible to be honest. jam on toast is indeed not jam and not toasted bread with packets of butter. Sad experience first time in Cambridge. The cramped conditions. Harried service, not fun but it didn’t break the bank.
