Hot Numbers

Not a biker cafe, but it has all the right ingredients.

Located just off the A10, on Cambridge Road, was a bit hard to find, but glad I did. This is a friendly place with great coffee and amazing food, a bit pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for, right?

There is plenty of sitting areas, both indoor and outdoor. Outdoors, you can enjoy the large green fields that surround the cafe.

Parking is limited, but if you’re riding you can find a place to squeeze in.

 

My Rating (3.8/5)

5=Excellent | 4=Very Good | 3=Average | 2=Below Average | 1=Terrible

Facilities: 5/5

Hot Numbers Café offers excellent facilities, especially for a café that balances cyclists, bikers, and casual visitors. The space is modern, bright, and well designed, with a good amount of seating both inside and out. Everything feels clean, contemporary, and thoughtfully laid out. Toilets are available on-site and are well maintained, adding to the overall polished feel of the venue.

Ambience: 5/5

The atmosphere at Hot Numbers is one of its biggest strengths. It attracts a diverse crowd, from riders and cyclists to locals and families, creating a lively but relaxed environment. There’s a strong sense of community, with a constant buzz of conversation and activity. It’s the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you’re stopping in solo or meeting others, making it a great social hub.

Food: 4/5

Food at Hot Numbers is consistently good, with a menu that leans more towards quality café fare than traditional biker food. The offerings are well prepared and satisfying, though they may not always hit standout territory. It’s a solid choice for breakfast or lunch, especially if you appreciate fresher, more thoughtfully made dishes.

Service: 3/5

Staff are generally friendly and well intentioned, but during busy periods things can feel a little stretched, leading to slower service at times. It’s perfectly acceptable overall, just not always as smooth or attentive as it could be.

Parking: 3/5

Hot Numbers Café does have parking available, which is a definite plus. However, it’s gravel-based and not specifically designated for motorcycles. While it’s usable, riders may need to take a bit of extra care when parking, especially in wet conditions. It works for a short stop, but it’s not the most bike-friendly setup.
