We are happy to announce that from July 1st along with launching our partnership with Hot Numbers coffee, we will also trial earlier opening times for The Orator - Now from 11:00 for some of the best coffee in town and delicious pastries.

Our plans for the future are to start opening even earlier for casual breakfast, but the competition is fierce so please show your support!

From now on, you can enjoy your morning coffee however you want - at the table, takeaway, or in the best hidden Garden in Cambridge.

See you soon,
The Orator Team
