Great food, cooked from scratch and prepared fresh, with great service. I think Cafe Culture is my new favourite place for Thai curry in Cambridge. The menu is quite small but everything we had was delicious.

Lovely authentic Thai food place! Price is very reasonable and portion is good, owner (and chef) do this by herself to order so can be a little wait time, but the tasty pad Thai is definitely worth the wait! Will visit again

Super tasty Thai food from a very gracious host! The lovely lady is a one woman army! If a lot of people order at once, you may have to wait a little while since it's just the one superwoman cooking every dish, but she still whips up the tastiest dishes very quickly and any waiting time is absolutely worth it due to the authentic flavours! One of the best pad Thai dishes we've ever had!

A real gem! We had the chicken curry, vegetable curry, and vegan pad Thai and all were amazing. The food is freshly prepared when you order, full of flavour, and the portions are generous. The lovely lady running the place is super friendly. Highly recommended!

Lovely Thai food in a small plate tapas style in a cafe by Chesterton Road. The atmosphere was nice and service was excellent. We love their larb pork balls and massaman spring rolls. Also Pad Thai Prawn contains some tofu which is a nice touch!!!

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon around closing time but the chef (and host) was more than happy to accommodate us. The ambience was great, the place was spotless and the host most gracious and welcoming. Since it was our first time there, the chef was kind enough to explain what to expect with the menu. As a couple of light eaters, we ordered a large plate of the Shrimp Pad Thai and a medium portion of the Chicken Massaman Curry with steamed Jasmine rice. The food was full of flavour and the servings were good for two. My first time tasting Thai food and, thanks to this experience, definitely not my last. All in all a very pleasant and memorable experience. Will definitely visit again.

Stumbled upon this place and the food did not disappoint! Highly recommend the tom yum soup and pad thai - tastes very homey and the portions were reasonable for the price.
