Fantastic experience here. The service was fab, the lady serving us was very friendly and informative and didn’t rush us in our choice. Food was lovely and the drinks were nice, would really recommend this spot! Good variety of options, including vegetarian options!

Very warm welcome from the lovely lady as we walked in. She took good care of our food and her enthusiasm lightened our times there. Although the space was very small, it perfect for a cozy short stay to have a coffee and late lunch. The interior was retro and nostalgic, we love the simplicity of the food they offer.

I haven’t been here for a long while and it’s still cozy and friendly little cafe :) The uplifting atmosphere as well as the hearty food made my day.
My first time trying the beautiful panini here, which has been tempting me for years. The crust is perfectly crunchy and the pastrami and pesto and mozzarella get along so well inside. So many lovely options of quiches and paninis and blackboard menu. I’ll start to come back more often XD
I don’t know why my old review is gone but yeah their quiches are delicious.- Service

Lovely waitress who was patient and kind who wished me a nice week as I left. Reasonably priced and tasty selection of food. I had the goats cheese and tomato and pesto panini. The pesto tasted homemade. Cosy and comforting cafe located close to the museums. 😊

Great service started with a very warm welcome from the staff at the counter. You can tell they take pride in welcoming regulars, take interest in them and remember names and orders. Such a rarity nowadays, but how lovely and connected makes you feel is unbelievable.
The food is of great quality and at a great price, we ordered the ciabattas and they were fresh, nicely filled and full of flavour.
I wish them a very long successful journey in their business, they are giving their 100% and you can tell.

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the owners name, but she is one of the most wonderful people you’ll ever interact with. She’s the kind of person that knows every local’s name, and greets strangers with a smile. She truly cares for each and every person who enters her café. On top of this, the food quality is great and the flavors are spot on. The coffee is excellent and she isn’t afraid to customize things for you. I just wish I found this spot sooner. I was only in Cambridge for a few days, but if I ever come back this is one of the first places I will visit. I simply cannot recommend Trockel, Ulmann & Freunde enough!- Parking

Small but full of character, with a welcoming, laid-back vibe. It's the perfect perch for a bit of people-watching over a lunch break. The owner is incredibly hard-working, friendly and brings so much warmth to the space. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot in the city that makes you feel at home.
