    I've been aware of the Raspberry Pi for some years now, but never really been sure of what you could actually do with it beyond playing some games etc. The store has some great demos available to try and a lot of different "add-on" products for the computer itself. I was in the store for quite a while having a wander around before I was able to talk to the staff. The first staff member seemed quite shy and not that easy to talk to about the products, but the other member approached me afterwards and was more willing to show me some of the demos and talk to me about the different products and what they do. This was great as I really needed someone to explain things to me in a straightforward way and just have a conversation really! So I definitely learnt more about the Raspberry Pi from visiting the store, I especially loved the game demos and the Raspberry Pi picture frames. I work in tech so I was trying to figure out if one of these may be useful to have around, clearly you can do a lot with it, but the soldering, coding etc. is a bit beyond me! Something simpler like a picture frame or small camera is a bit more what I'm into, creative stuff! Thanks Raspberry Pi 🍓 (no raspberry emoji)

    OMG a dream comes true!!! You can find anything Raspberry pi related here! It is cheap and it must be a point of interest for any tech/nerd guy in town, if not within the entire UK!!! I loved visiting this shop!!! I felt like Alice in the wonderland!

    Amazing little shop all around the raspberry pi. The prices are good and can compete with online offers. Great opportunity to buy this products locally instead of online shopping. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, will definitely come again when I'm in Cambridge.

    Excellent help from knowledgeable staff in the Cambridge Raspberry Pi Store. They advised on which accessories and parts to use with the Raspberry Pi and we're extremely patient and approachable. It's a great experience to go there, there are many computers set up to run everything from a home arcade console to a portable 7 inch tablet with touch screen. As well as the official Raspberry Pi products, it also stock popular compatible products from other companies, including e-ink screens and speakers. If you want to learn how to use the Raspberry Pi there are lots of books and magazines with tutorials, as well as workshops held in store. Definitely go here if you are a Raspberry Pi enthusiast or new to this and interested in finding out more.

    I visited the store to purchase an item for someone. The shop is well stocked and organized. They have interaction panels to test out their product. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A good number of beginner guides are available in multiple languages. I am excited to re-visit the store in a month once the Pi5 is released to the market. Highly recommended for Raspberry Pi techies!

    Didn't know this place existed! Everything for the Raspberry Pi/Pico enthusiast with a good selection of addons and HATs. Very reasonably priced and staff very helpful.

    Staff very helpful and very knowledgeable. Price of items are reasonably price too. Will be returning again in the future. FYI (14 August 2022) they had a GOOD supply of Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. 8GB is priced at £75, much cheaper than eBay and other suppliers I could find! A+++

    Fantastic shop for a Pi nerd. Lots of bits and good prices. Worth a visit when in Cambridge

    Spoke to Tim on the phone that was very helpful but as Tim wasn’t going to be on the Saturday the 13th that we visited he said that Lloyd would be there to help us. Lloyd was very helpful and answered all the questions we needed, to understand how the raspberry pi 3 worked. Very knowledgeable guy. Thank you.

    Came here just recently while I’m in Cambridge, decided to check this place out and ended up buying some ifixit stuff. Great store with reasonable prices, workers there are also nice as well, would absolutely recommend, even if you don’t plan on buying anything (it’s cool to check out if you want to kill some time).

  • 5/5 JERRY SAM J. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi Team, from all the reviews I believe you can solve my issue with raspberry pi 4B 8GB, which is not connecting to neither my laptop and TV. After writing OS to SD card and to the raspberry pi computer, there is no display. From forums I did some changes in config file and none it worked and my display shows no HDMI connection. When I uncomment HDMI safe, blurred screen flickers ON and OFF for some seconds. Will it be possible if I bring the card to your shop to have look on the card. Basically I bought the card through eBay two days before. Kindly please help with a suggestion.

    Great to be able to pop in to buy microelectronics. Helpful friendly service to boot and no delivery charge required. Lucky Cambridge residents!

  • 5/5 Zubair A. 1 year ago on Google
    So glad I found this place! I drove up from Surrey just to get hold of a few items that are currently in short supply. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Wish I had a bit more time to spend and look at everything, but I was running out of time. Thank you to the staff! If you are into the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, it's worth visiting.

    This was a really cool place to buy a rasperrypi. The sales staff were packed full of helpful information, highly technical.warm and bright store. Anew store in too. I bought a 4g raspberry pi 4 for 90 pounds. No accessories.

  • 5/5 Judith L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is usually a great store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Today however I was dumbfounded by the guy that served me or should I say interrogated me. Was I with a man, was I with anyone, was I with the person before me. Are females not allowed to buy Raspberry Pis? This matter was dealt with very professionally by the manager so I have changed the star rating.

    Not as much stock as hoped. Could not get rasberry pi cm unit but helpful staff.

    Finally got the chance to visit. Alot of hands-on setups to try. Great selection of products and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Suleman H. 1 year ago on Google
    Its extremely good, there is only one problem, maybe they should also sell useful electronic parts like transistors, capicitors and even maybe speakers and resistors. Other than that everything was great. I bought a display hat mini and a raspberry pi pico W everything was fine, it worked out. Highly satisfies, the staff were extremely kind to me and had answers to every question I had. please note my comment and please try to find a solution as soon as possible.

    A lovely shop that was well stocked, but a joyless purchasing experience. I talked myself into getting a new Pi 5 but at the till I had the odd feeling that the staff felt like they were doing me a favour by being there. It was probably all in my head and they were dealing with something more important elsewhere, but next time I’m in Cambridge I’ll give the place a miss.

😐 Great for bags, stationery and bottles. Don't bother buying anything else there. Quality is extremely poor and they break easily.

😠 The employees here straight up lying and will do everything they can to deny the fault of the devices they sell. They will come up baseless excuses and blame you to be the person damage the device. Even worse, they alter the words that you said and recreated their version of story. The dishonesty is...
