A charming little gift shop nestled amongst the Cambridge University colleges, also stocking their official university clothing too at a very reasonable price. Be warned though, as it’s an attraction for British and foreign tourists alike, it can get super busy in there as it’s not very big. The ladies on the tills were super friendly.

Great gift store with very large variety of products and gifts on offer. Much better than a run of the mill gift store you may see in London, they had quality and cute products. The staff were very friendly and had good suggestions and were able to help find an item we were looking for. In the nature of thibgs, quite an expensive store for some of the products.

Good if you're looking for stereotypical British souvenirs with lots of union jack's and whatnot. Some Cambridge exclusive items, including various items of clothing from Cambridge university. Staff are polite and helpful, store is clean and tidy. Very well organised.
