Fitzbillies

Time for a refreshing beverage? Meet our excellent Aperol Spritz 🍹

The perfect complement to a cheeky afternoon tea 😋

Delicious alcohol free options also available for all our cocktails 😎

Did you know our July guest buns are made with strawberries picked by robots?! 🤖

Local Cambridgeshire-based technology company Dogtooth are pioneering the use of AI-powered robots to pick delicate berry fruits with near-human dexterity. Their fleet of 70 robots is picking commercially in glasshouses and polytunnels on farms in the UK and Australia.

Strawberry & Cream Buns are available to buy in all our branches until 31 July 🍓

We might be from 1920, but we're also from the future.

Cambridge, we are 🍓WIMBLEDON READY🍓

Find our limited edition strawberry and cream buns at
📍51-53 Trumpington Street
📍15 King’s Parade
📍36 Bridge Street

Then pop back here and tell us what you think 😋

HAPPY CREAM TEA DAY!

It's Friday. It's . The only possible option is to pop into Fitzbillies and pick up some scones, jam and cream.

Eat in. Take away. Enjoy!

🍰☕️ 🇬🇧

Friday 28th June is the BEST excuse for a delicious cream tea! In its 10th year, Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream and Wilkin & Sons LLC have teamed up to create a day every year that celebrates the simple elegance of a good cream tea.

So this is a quick reminder that our NEW Cream Tea for Four gift box is available to be sent throughout the UK.

And if you order today, it'll arrive in time for Friday at tea time.

Order for yourself or a friend: https://www.fitzbillies.com/collections/afternoon-tea

When was the last time you had an afternoon tea?

We recently updated our afternoon teas so that they're even more delicious and available in three different ways:
🍰 Traditional Afternoon Tea at our Trumpington Street café tea room
📮 Afternoon Tea for Two by post anywhere in the UK
🧺 Afternoon Tea Picnic Lunch to pick up from Trumpington Street (preorder online to beat the queues!)

Not a bad way to celebrate a special occasion, or a perfect pick-me-up to share with friends or family.

So, what catches your fancy?

Every dad is different, but if your dad (or grandad or stepdad or honorary dad) loves Chelsea buns, with maybe a beer or a brownie… Well, we can help!

Grab one of our limited edition gift boxes, available online for collection in Cambridge or to post throughout the UK.

At the heart of it, we’re a local bakery serving our community. The doors opened in 1920, and we like to think our founders would be proud of what we bring the people of Cambridge - and the UK - from our ovens.

Whether it’s a birthday cake from our new shop at 53 Trumpington Street, or a hamper posted fresh from our bakery to somewhere further afield, every bake matters to us.

Our community is growing as we connect with more Fitzbillies fans who aren’t in Cambridge right now. We’re finding new fans and we’re bringing our long-term fans new treats and new experiences.

Are you a local or a distant fan? Is there anything you’d love to see from Fitzbillies? Let us know in the comments!

Quick question: if you're not brunching, is it even the weekend?

🍳🥓🍅🍞

🇬🇧

Birthday coming up? Let's get the cake sorted! 🍰

In Cambridge, you can collect our delicious cakes in branch. So whether you need a red velvet, lemon macaron fancy cake, or decadent chocolate cake, we've got loads to choose from.

Throughout the UK, we deliver cakes by post in our fancy Fitzbillies cake tin, so you can send a delicious gift to friends and family far away!

Sometimes it's hard to choose.

Freshly baked bread?
Still-warm Chelsea buns?
Fluffy croissants?

No matter what you select from our branches or online shop, you know it's freshly baked, in Cambridge, just for you.

What's your choice today?

Fear not, friends! Trumpington Street and King’s Parade are OPEN as usual 🥳

All the while, Bridge Street is receiving some excellent refurbishment until 2nd May.

So pop in to your nearest Fitzbillies in the meantime!

Did someone say Chelsea bun ice cream? 🍦

You may have spotted our new menus, which arrived across our branches earlier this week!

We've refreshed our favourites, and added in some new flavours for spring and summer. A classic Caesar salad, our delicious Chelsea bun French toast, 3 new focaccia sandwiches, and plenty of brunch options.

Pop in for brunch, lunch, cake, afternoon tea, or just to have a nosy... And let us know your favourite!

Our extra special number cakes have had a glorious update to make them even more delicious!

These show-stopper cakes are perfect for big birthdays or special occasions, and are available in three delicious flavours:

🍓 Vanilla & Raspberry Meringue
🍋 Lemon Macaron
🍫 Chocolate

Each cake is made to order in our Cambridge bakery by our artisan bakers, and we usually ask for at least 7 days to prepare them. (Sorry non-Cambridge folk, these are only available to be collected from our bakery. They're massive.)

We're always immensely proud of our bakers - truly the best in the land - but these cakes really show off their impressive skills!

For more birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and sweet treats, check out our offering online, or get in touch!
