Nestled in the heart of Fineshade Wood, Grounds Café offers a warm welcome all year round (closed only on Christmas Day). Their signature coffee is carefully sourced from a local Cambridgeshire roastery, complemented by a tempting selection of homemade cakes, seasonal soups and gelato – all freshly prepared in-house.
A favourite with families, walking groups, and cyclists, the café also extends its hospitality to four-legged visitors, with a special range of homemade dog biscuits and ice cream. With four thoughtfully designed indoor spaces – including dog-friendly and trail-rider-friendly areas – there's a cosy corner for everyone, no matter the weather.
Free Wi-Fi makes it an ideal spot for a mid-week coffee break.
