Famed for their pastéis de nata – the best you’ll get outside of Lisbon, never mind in Cambridge – Norfolk Street Bakery has had a cult following in the city for many years. Despite a location tucked away on a quiet residential street, it’s gained many fans since its opening in 2012, with foodies all over town raving about their beautiful freshly-baked breads, cakes and biscuits. There’s good news this month for local fans or those keen to sample Adília’s and her team’s bakes, as they’ve just opened a new branch at 7 Station Road. As well as a counter laden with homemade sweet treats, from prune and port brownies to rye and chocolate cookies, you’ll be able to pick up a range of artisan loaves. There’s also a colourfully painted seating area where you can enjoy your spoils with a coffee, plus you can enjoy light bites such as toasties, sandwiches and panini. Make sure you pick up a custard tart for the road, too.
THIRSTY SERVICE. Drinks shop Thirsty is continuing its quest for world domination with the launch of yet another irresistible event. Featuring the usual winning combo of street food, entertainment and great booze, Thirsty Service sees the gang popping up in a rather unlikely new location: a church! Throughout October they were doing their thing at St Philip’s on Mill Road, and now you can catch them at St Paul’s Church on Hills Road on 3, 10 and 17 November, plus 1 December. You can get well and truly in the holy spirit with a range of cracking gins, plus craft beers and wines on tap (amen to that!), and there will be tasty eats on offer from favourite food trucks. If the weather’s not up to much, don’t worry, there will be ample indoor biergarten-style seating, heating and cosy fairy lights and candles. wearethirsty.co.uk
