Maison Clement Newnham

A real French bakery in Cambridge. Normally hard to find outside France, real croissants, real baguettes, wonderful bread.

I have tried the sourdough bread and it is simply delicious. You can get it sliced on the spot.

The almond croissants are also very good.

Regular customer for hearty bread and early morning breakfasts~ The almond croissant is layered with buttery crust on top and has the largest amount of tasty stuffing in all the croissants I had :) Even though the pastry has got quite cold in the early winter morning, it is still irresistible. (I’ll surely get fat if I come too often.) The pain au chocolat and pear tart are also good, and of course you can trust their bread.

The flat white yesterday, however, was too bitter… (The beans might be on the very deeply roasted side, and over extraction perhaps?) Today’s Latte is alright.

(Originally recommended by my high school roommate’s friend in Cambridge.)

Just like being in Paris, only in Cambridgeshire. ALWAYS good, with a side of attitude....and you'll meet folks and chat in the queue.
Oh....dogs aren't allowed inside, so there are hooks at the front window (so not quite Paris, alas)

Beautiful croissants and the best coffee
Such a shame that we missed the almond croissants

I enjoyed the classic triangle pastry and good ole' cappuccino here. The good thing bout this place is it's opening time: 07:30 AM! Perfect 👍

Brilliant pastries and kind staff who work long hard hours too! Have come here on many occasions. Puts a smile on my face and can’t wait to bring family here.

Rather selfishly I thought about not writing a review fearing extended queues round the whole of Newnham delaying my bready fix.
Easily the best croissants I've ever had, (and I've had many), most likely the best in the UK ! You'd have to go to a boulangerie in Autignac for anything remotely similar. Everything they bake looks amazing and you're not likely to be disappointed. Not much (if anything ) for gluten free but this is a very authentic French bakery.
