Afternoon Tea for a family of vegetarians and vegans on Saturday. Service and food was excellent. Little touches like the surprise birthday doughnut and staff singing happy birthday, made our day. Thank you

Third visit to this beautiful, bustling little tea shop in a picturesque Suffolk village. Well worth a visit. Does sell out of cakes in the afternoon. Unfortunately staff sold wife's and my choice of cake to a subsequent customer. Owner did give us a lemon cake free of charge which was appreciated.

Visited this cafe during a long bike ride, I was made to feel very welcome. Staff were very accommodating, even letting me put my bike safely in their garden area. The food and coffee were fantastic and service was spot on. I highly recommend a visit to this lovely cafe and its beautiful location. Will definitely be returning.
