Stir Histon

A slightly calmer, village-feel version of a Cambridge favourite, Stir Histon keeps everything people love about Stir — great coffee, fresh baking, and a strong brunch menu — but with a bit more breathing room and an easier pace. Dogs are welcome inside on lead, so you can head in together without the pavement shuffle.

It's the kind of place that suits slower mornings and longer catch-ups. Expect the same generous plates, daily bakes, and "we'll just grab something small" turning into a full sit-down once you've seen the counter. It feels local in the best way — relaxed, welcoming, and built around regulars as much as visitors.

An easy indoor stop where you can settle properly with a dog at your feet — no rushing, no juggling, just a straightforward, comfortable place to pause and refuel together.
