The Open Guide to Cambridge

Daily Bread is a vegetarian wholefood shop where you can buy herbs, spices, dried fruit, grains, beans, etc inexpensively in large and small quantities. They also sell organic fruit, veg, and bread, as well as things like halva, fruit/nut bars, and Green & Black chocolate. The dried fruit includes more unusual options like mango, melon, and goji berries. They also sell seeds from Suffolk Herbs, and have both dry foods and household cleaning refill stations.

The shop includes a small cafe which seats eight people at four tables and offers coffees, teas, herb teas, hot chocolate, cakes, flapjacks, and biscuits. As of September 2010, hot drinks are mostly around £1, cakes around £1.30 for a generous slice photo, and flapjacks 80p. The cakes are displayed under covers at the service end of the cafe, and include a vegan option at least some of the time.

It isn't hugely obvious where the cafe is within the shop — it's to the right as you go in, past the tills.

Daily Bread is run as a co-operative.

Accessibility: A ramp (pictured) to get in, step-free to the cafe and shopping area once you're in. The aisles of the shopping area are fairly wide. Some of the shelves would probably be hard to reach from a wheelchair, but they seem to have plenty of staff available to help. There is a small customer toilet. There's parking directly outside and round the back.
