What's Hot

Christmas is right around the corner, and the winter warmth is officially flowing across our Cambridge cafes and Shepreth Roastery. This season, we’re doing what we love best—pairing ethically sourced, freshly roasted small-batch coffee with handcrafted artisan bakery treats, soul-stirring live music, and festive gatherings with our local community. Whether you're dropping in for a quiet morning brew or gathering the whole family for a festive celebration, there’s a table waiting for you.

From energy-packed Christmas Party Night at The Roastery to the rich, nostalgic brass tones of the Royston Town Band, our seasonal lineup is all about bringing people together. Pair the festive tunes with our house-crafted winter drinks, order plant-based mince pies or a decadent Chocolate Yule Log via click & collect, or send a Coffee Club subscription to the coffee lover in your life. Dive into our complete guide below to see what’s brewing at Hot Numbers this Christmas.

Hot Numbers Coffee offers a convenient click-and-collect service for our Signature Sourdough Bread, ensuring you can secure a freshly baked artisan loaf without the worry of arriving at a sold-out bakery counter. Each 1kg loaf undergoes a careful, slow-fermentation process designed to create a complex, tangy flavour, an airy crumb, and a beautifully blistered crust. To ensure you get exactly what you need, you can easily customise your order by selecting between plain or seeded varieties, with the added option to take it away either conveniently sliced or left whole.

The collection process is built to be seamless and guarantee peak freshness, with our artisan loaves starting at £4.90. During checkout, simply select your exact collection date and choose from one of our three locations: The Roastery, Trumpington Street, or Gwydir Street. Your bread will be ready and waiting for you as early as 7:30 am on your chosen day. Please keep in mind that orders must be collected on the scheduled date, as uncollected loaves are never held overnight in order to maintain our strict quality standards.
