Congratulations to our December Member of the Month Winner - FITZBILLIES Fitzbillies is a Cambridge institution, delighting town, gown and visitors alike with its buns, cakes & pastries for over 100 years. First opened by Ernest and Arthur Mason in 1920, it is most famous for its ultra-sticky Chelsea buns. Fitzbillies also serves a great cup of coffee and fantastic breakfast, brunch, lunch and tea, designed to show off the bakery produce. To this day, everything is baked in house, in our artisan bakery in Cambridge. With three branches set amongst the colleges in the town centre, no trip to Cambridge is complete without a visit. Our team of bakers starts early every morning, baking hundreds of Chelsea buns, as well as a daily selection of sourdough bread, viennoiserie, and cakes. We have a diverse and talented team, from Head Baker Gill Abbs, who has been baking for Fitzbillies for over 50 years, all the way through to our apprentice bakers. We’re passionate about keeping traditional baking alive, while innovating for a modern and innovative market. As well as serving the best city in the world (in our opinion…), we also run our online bakery at www.fitzbillies.com, posting out to the whole of the UK so that even more lovely customers can enjoy Chelsea buns, afternoon tea, and delicious cakes in the comfort of their own home. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working with you in 2025.
