Stir @Cambridge Biomedical Campus is a bright, modern café nestled in the lobby of a contemporary office and laboratory building at the Biomedical Campus. Its clean, spacious environment makes it a natural spot for hospital staff, researchers, and visitors to grab a well-crafted coffee or a thoughtfully prepared brunch without feeling rushed or crowded.

The café’s menu leans into fresh and wholesome ingredients, with dishes like Eggs Florentine, Turkish Eggs, and options for hearty vegetarian and vegan eaters. This reflects a local preference for food that feels nourishing but not overly heavy, making it ideal for a mid-morning break or a relaxed weekday lunch. Drinks like matcha and turmeric lattes add a wellness angle, appealing to those looking for something a little different from the usual coffee options.

Stir’s atmosphere stands out for its calm and open layout, with plenty of space between tables and kid-friendly touches such as a children’s menu and high chairs. This practical setup suggests it caters well to professionals needing a peaceful spot between shifts as well as families visiting the campus or nearby hospital facilities.

Given its location, the café thrives during weekday mornings and lunchtimes when the nearby workforce seeks quality, fresh food in a convenient setting. Weekend visits might attract locals taking a walk or those who want a quieter café experience away from the busier city center. While the pastry selection is typically high quality, some have noted that weekend offerings can occasionally feel less fresh, hinting that weekday visits provide the best experience overall.

In summary, Stir functions as a reliable, relaxed hub on the Biomedical Campus where good coffee meets thoughtful, health-conscious brunch options. Visitors can expect a practical and friendly environment, well suited to those working or visiting the science and hospital quarters of Cambridge.

Food was absolutely phenomenal - definitely a cut above an “average” brunch! All felt really fresh and healthy, and the place has a super chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place :) :)

Bright, clean space in the lobby of a modern office/lab building. Not lunchtime and not supposed to be eating cake in January () but enjoyed my coffee and the chance to visit on first day of operation. Great to have a high-quality cafe open to all in this location. Well done both to Stir and the building's management.

An absolute delight to have Stir on the Biomedical Campus! The space is great, the food and coffees delicious! We had the courgette and feta tartine and tried coffees and pastries too. Can't wait to come back to try more! Great place for families too, there is a kids menu, highchairs and lots of space between the tables.

The pastry and bread is of high quality but Saturday pastries are cold and stale. For the price it would be good if they were warmed or kept fresh. Coffee is good.

Wonderful food, beautiful calm setting and so convenient for the hospital and science quarter Addenbrooke’s site. Loads of tasty options for veggies, vegans and gluten free. Highly recommended for a working lunch in the week or after a weekend walk!
