Very nice food, great service. Been here a few times and have been served by the same young man each time, and every time he has been extremely polite and friendly. I definitely recommend the quiche! Very yummy!

Arrived 8 mins before end of breakfast. Asked for bacon sandwich. Bacon was reheated and chewy and not freshly cooked Disappointing.

The cafe really compliments the excellent business facilities at the Officers Mess. Staff are are always friendly and welcoming. There are enough hot and cold food choices to cater for most tastes with food to eat in or take away. This cafe is a great option for those working in and around the business center but also for anyone looking for somewhere new for breakfast or lunch. Parking is free and always space available.

Wonderful historic site. Lots of space with natural light.

The building is of historic interest but the inside has no trace of the original Mess apart from some pictures on the walls from WW2. The inside is an open bright modern spacious café and meeting area for the businesses around the site. Sadly the food from the small serving and kitchen area was poor and slow to produce. The bacon used in the two sandwiches ordered was not freshly cooked and clearly had had a long ‘hard’ life before it was added to two heavily buttered slices of thin white bread. Two sausage sandwiches were again in heavily buttered thin white bread with two bland looking sausages in each, cooked but colourless and looking like they had just left the packet. Micro-waved perhaps?

What a fantastic space this is ... modern, clean and bright, with a huge nod to the illustrious history of the site. The café has a limited menu but the basics are well provided for and very reasonably priced. You have to stop and read the picture boards which detail the war heroes who flew from this base and the sacrifices they made to their lives so we could enjoy a free and peaceful existence today. Words can't express our thanks.

Great place for breakfast or lunch when near Duxford. Just off M11 and better than service stations! Home made quiches and salads at lunch and great bacon butties for breakfast

The ladies in the cafe are lovely, as is the food! Lots of home cooked food and always a smiling face to serve you. Members of the general public can visit and eat here, currently seems to be a bit of a hidden secret at Duxford!

What a lovely little cafe, serving up sandwiches, jacket potatoes and best of all the quiche, all beautifully handmade. The food is always fresh, made to order, and to top it off the staff are fantastic. Good value for money. A great find.

Really nice lunch / coffee stop 1 min from Junction 10 M11. Nice cafe with homemade sandwiches and hot dishes. Only downside was that the parking spaces were nearly all taken. Maybe I called on a very busy lunchtime. Prices very reasonable.
