About The Box Café

Tucked away from the bustle of town, this little Turkish spot in Cambridge is genuinely calm — the kind of place where you can hear each other talk and nobody minds a toddler. The owners are warm and take real care over dietary needs, with proper vegan and gluten-free cooking rather than an afterthought. Food is fresh and homemade: crispy borek with potato and cheese, gozleme, moussaka, and a mezze plate people rave about, plus baklava and Turkish coffee to finish. There's a small bookshop inside, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating, and the buggy gets in without a fight. Prices are gentle for the quality. It's a small, cosy room, so a big pram at a busy lunchtime may need parking carefully — one parent calls it "a great little hideaway".
