The 38 best coffee shops and best cafes in Felixstowe

Love having breakfast here coz we love their coffee and breakfast menu. Lunch options are amazing too! Perfect to grab a pint too, with beach view! ❤️ I only got disappointed when I tried the brunch bowl and I did not like the consistency of the veggies coz theyre all mashed and blended (like level 6 diet).

Great little place to eat overlooking the sea, food was amazing.... little pricey, as you would expect on the seafront....But worth it. Definitely will be coming again. Highly recommend

Great venue, food disappointing, not bad enough to complain but really bland and tasteless, one of the worst, most tasteless cheesy chips I've ever had and beef brisket baguette was average. Had Sunday lunch there a few months ago,again very average and wouldn't bother again as better options available locally... However, great venue, great staff, great for a drink. Perhaps a little complacent about food offering due to location?.

Catch of the day is a must eat which is worth to enjoy in this quiet beach.

I remember when this was the 'in' place and considered very upmarket. Well, it certainly is a great place to be, especially when the sun is shining. Great spot to watch the worls go by, meet friends etc. Cocktails were excellent, great service from really friendly staff. Toilets tatty and garish. Certainly not upmarket.

After attending a show at the Spa Pavilion, we decided to have a drink at The Alex. While the drinks were expensive, they were quite delicious. We noticed that there were many young and somewhat immature patrons there, which led me to pay attention to whether any IDs were checked when drinks were served. In the two hours we spent there, I didn't see anyone's ID being checked. Despite this, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the young people were well-behaved. Thankfully, there were no issues, especially since there was no security at the door.

Returned to The Alex yesterday, not really a fan of the whole menu but do enjoy The Pulled Pork Nachos which are definitely the best in Felixstowe. This is the small plate portion.

The food exceeded expectations—beautifully prepared, flavourful, and clearly made with care. It’s a rare pleasure to find such quality in such an unassuming setting. I look forward to returning and would gladly recommend it to others seeking a quiet spot in Felixstowe.

For many years, i have ventured to the Landguard Fort and enjoyed the marvellous view of the to-ing and fro-ing of the enormous container ships shuttling in and out of Britain's biggest container port. In 'olden times', I used to catch the train from Norwich, then a bus from Felixstowe Station direct to the fort. These days, it's a train from Ipswich and a cycle ride to the viewpoint with the nearby fort, at time of writing, being closed. The cafe is run by the Yeo Group, a well-established Felixstowe business which also operates the Italian/Mediterranean-themed Cafe Bencotto in the town's former fire station and the Alex Brasserie and Cafe-Bar, which I have also reviewed. Turning up mid-morning on a really chilly and misty late December day, you might have thought I'd have been among a very few hardy souls. Not a bit of it! The place was packed, with queues of folk waiting for a table. I thought the staff very friendly and helpful and, although I was only in for a coffee, the cakes and pastries on display looked very tempting indeed. Very tasty-looking fish and chips and all-day breakfasts were being devoured with some alacrity and some of my upmarket catering chums would have given their right arm for the footfall here. I would suggest that, for ship-spotters, a download of the ship tracker app which, at no cost, will tell you which ship is which and where they have been or are destined to go. Definitely one to recommend. The cafe too, of course!

Had an early morning ride down to Languard Fort and stopped at the View Point Cafe for some breakfast. Food was cooked well especially the egg which normally places overcook, this one was runny in the middle. Reasonably priced however, unless I missed on the menu, I wish I could have added hash browns and black pudding. Overall a positive experience and would go down to visit on the bike again!

Brilliant little cafe in an unusual location, where you can watch marine traffic in the estuary, wait for the little foot ferry to Harwich, visit Landguard fort or watch the container ships being loaded and unloaded. We’ve just eaten Friday fish and chips (4-6pm) with a cuppa. Proper seaside.

First time to visit this part of Felixstowe, we were greeted with a friendly smile from a member of the staff, you can sit in or out, to be able to watch the ship containers coming into port is amazing. Can highly recommend.

Friendly staff, and efficient service, even at busy times. Competitively priced food, coffees, teas, etc. When the sun’s shining, it’s a lovely place to grab a drink and a snack, or something more substantial.

What a lovely cafe. To start the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The process of getting a table and ordering is so easy. It’s pram and wheelchair access friendly. There is 3 types of high chair/ toddler chairs to choose from. Lovely clean toilets. Lots of history and facts on the walls to learn from whilst having food. We stay for breakfast and the food was just amazing. The chips are o ur of this world. You can sit outside also and enjoy the lovely view of the docks. Very very pleased can’t wait to return.

Staff very friendly, food came quickly and was very nice and freshly cooked, nice outdoor seating area which is dog friendly and there is lots of dog water bowls. My new favourite place to eat it Felixstowe. I highly recommend a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our pre-show meal and drinks with a spectacular view of the sea. 'Lipstick on your collar' was truely a musical feast too.

Staff friendly and helpful, but short in number. Front of house, entrance, and restaurant area looks a bit tired, lick of paint would help, and loos need checking regularly, as they were not particularly clean when we visited late PM. Our mains were tasty (pizzas recommend), and we were given doggy boxes to take home our leftovers, which was appreciated. This venue offers the community a much needed place to watch live shows, and we have booked another later in the year.

Really nice location, comfortable seating and great views up and down the coast. Staff are friendly, however some training needs to be given on how to serve coffee, mocha in particular, get that right and five stars are well and truly deserved. 🍦🏝️🍻☕️

Small minus that around 1pm there was no food. Location with the view on the sea make the taste of your pint or drink even more tasty if you lucky to grab the spot outside.

I booked a table at The Spa Pavilion Cafe/Restaurant/Bar on the seafront in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Whilst awaiting my drink, my eyes alighted on the reservations book which was open and on full display next to the bar. I merely commented & pointed out in good humour my own reservation. A very unpleasant member of staff reprimanded me and told me in no uncertain terms that I was not to turn my attention to the book as it had personal data on there. Then why is my private & personal data on public display and visible to every customer waiting at the bar? The staff member was rude and when I asked if he still wanted my custom, shrugged his shoulders in an indifferent dismissal. I shan't be frequenting this establishment again.

Love the Spa Pavilion, really lovely staff in both theatre front of house, and restaurant, put on an amazing range of shows to suit all tastes , local theatres so need our support & this theatre is so worthy of support, the food in the restaurant is really lovely , never ever had a bad meal there, all cooked fresh as they get you to pre order before the night,

Good. Pleasant staff. The tea did not have a strong taste, you could hardly feel it. I serve the salad in a bowl and the potatoes on a plate.

Lovely, friendly, independent 'coffee' shop. Serving a good selection of cold and hot food. They even made my favourite croissant, stuffed with melted cheese and a pot of jam (there are a selection of jams to choose from) to go with it. Coffee was tasty too. Plenty of seating. Well worth a visit. Find a table, order at the till. Must try one of their homemade cakes next time.

I have been visiting Felixstowe for almost 2 years now and every time I am here I frequent Nutshells at least three times a week for a bacon bap and vanilla lattte. Being from Canada, I had never had a bacon bap before and I am totally addicted. Bacon, butter and a bun, who would have thought it would be so delicious - Nutshells on the Sea! Jill remembers both Robin and I year to year and she and Ian have a personal engaging relationship with not only us but all their patrons. Thank you so much for the great food and atmosphere. Melissa and Robin

Really lovely cafe offering tasty home-cooked food and a warm welcome. We went there for a late lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered. Clean plates all round. Leave room for a slice of one of their freshly made cakes. The coffee cake was delicious. Service was excellent. Definitely one to visit if you're in the area. You'll be well looked after.

Gorgeous Tearoom. First time visiting, and we were greeted like regulars, staff cheerful and attentive. Lots of shelves with produce to buy, such as sauces, chutneys, marmalades, and flour.

We had lunch at Nutshells today, a spur of the moment decision and it was EXCELLENT! Absolutely the best fishfinger sandwich I've ever had, ditto the coffee. And the service was exemplary, double checking our stated dietary requirements.

Came to Nutshells 3x during a 2 week trip to Felixstowe. Sorry this lovely tearoom was not here during my previous annual visits to the town. Loved the pesto panini and atmosphere. And Jill was lovely to speak with each time I came in. 😊

Popped in to grab a lunch and have been nicely surprised by 50% off for sandwiches. On top of that Chai latte was absolutely delicious. No waiting inside. Nice and tidy. A bit empty with cookies and muffins, but not that I was looking for one anyway. Nice and tidy inside. The only downside that even with 50% off for sandwiches, getting one and a regular coffee I still paid £9. Makes no sense.

My husband and myself came here yesterday, as we walked in, we was welcomed to a almost empty cake display, almost empty sandwich display & this was at 13.30, I was sat whilst my husband was get our drinks, he stood for 15 mins waiting, there was 2 staff behind the counter & one floating around in her coat, went to use the toilet & was shocked for a Costa coffee shop, there was urine over the floor, soaked urine tissue on the floor by the sink & urine had covered the toilet seat, a young member of staff went in there (we was sat facing the toilet) she picked up the wet tissue & threw it in the bin but then still left the toilet in the state, she had no gloves on, she went straight behind the counter & got herself a drink(still unwashed hands) never have I been in such a disgusting Costa & with very unprofessional staff.

Yet again a delivery placed at Costa Felixstowe arrived short of the order. Costa takes no responsibility for this and it happens constantly. It then takes 2 weeks to get a refund from Just Eat. It's not Just Eats fault it's Costas. Calling the Felixstowe branch you are met with accusations of being hostile and told its not a Costa issue. Today I was told by the Felixstowe branch that delivery customers come second to store customers thats the Costa policy. The branch is supposed to call the customer if they don't have their item so it can be replaced with something else. This never ever happens with the Felixstowe branch. The reason I order a delivery is because of the state of the Felixstowe store..its filthy. Tables aren't cleared and there's old food on the floor. It needs a deep clean. Staff need to be trained in dealing with complaints because the person I spoke with today had very little good to say about Costa and their delivery policy.

As Costa branches go, this looks a little tired. Polite staff, a good vanilla Latte and bacon roll, perfectly acceptable, but the branch was having air con issues when since it was already a warm day outside just made it uncomfortable to sit inside. It wasn't the fault of the staff, they have to put up with the same heat and still do a job, but like I said, the branch looks tired so maybe a refresh and a new air con unit will improve it as its the only reason why I've marked it down...

Food looks good but is far too expensive. Service is usually good from the regular staff but can be hit & miss with newer staff members. However, recently there have been incidences of cash only or card only service and a couple of occasions where the dishwasher is broken and coffee is only available in takeaway cups. My objection to this is that the takeaway cups are larger than the china cups and most servers want to top up the drink with extra water - weakening the brew! Finally, the atmosphere in the cafe is ruined by the incessant noise from the coffee and ice-making equipment. This is bad enough for the customers but must be very stressful for the staff, who have to spend all day there. I have no complaint with the staff as the regular girls are working hard in difficult conditions.

Good coffee and very nice staff. Fast service and they have Christamas themed hot chocolates in the season. Very nice!

Friendly, professional staff. Relaxing atmosphere, lovely coffee and cake. Enjoyable hour spent with my family.

We called in at 4pm on a Sunday and it was still pretty packed inside. Outside tables were aplenty so we opted for one of those as the weather was still nice and a lovely sea view. Our food order came within 15 minutes and was of a very high standard with prices in the mid range for a hotel. They do allow dogs in the bar area but they are not allowed in the restaurant and at the outside tables, which is fair enough. The bar and toilets were very clean and the staff helpful and friendly so will be returning again.

We found Clusters during a walk along the promenade, initially it was only going to be a coffee-stop but their menu proved too tempting to ignore. Particularly pleasing was the staff being able, and willing, to make minor adaptations to our orders. Namely bread accomplishment to the muscles was not wanted, no problem, but substitution with a fresh garden salad was - no problem. Far too often establishments have a rigid approach to their menu items and cannot get their minds away from the status of that is how the kitchen prepares it and cannot change. It should be added the muscles came in a spicy tomato sauce - something never encountered before, it was delicious. The line caught fish was revealed to be a well cooked haddock of quite generous proportions. No complaints on either score. There is outside seating overlooking the beach but there are quite large areas of seating and tables inside if that be your preference. We had not been to Felixstowe before and found it most agreeable. Should the mood or circumstances make it possible we will be quite happy to return there, and make Fludyers our chosen lunch stop.

We stayed in the Simpson's Suite which was wonderful and exceeded the pictures on the website. Definitely worth it just for the bath alone. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating in all things; they arranged an early check in for us, booked us a taxi and held our luggage for us as we went to sit on the beach after checking out. The breakfast was delicious with a good selection. The only thing I would note, which is not at all a flaw with the hotel, is that taxis can be a little sparse from the train station, so if you are arriving by train and are used to an area with Uber or lots of cabs, you should look up a local firm and book ahead of time (or I'm sure Fludyers would be more than happy to do that for you if you contact them!) or be prepared for a long wait or to walk from the station.

No idea about rooms at the hotel. Came here for coffee, and stayed for the Sunday roast. Very hench Sunday dinner. Epic beef, superb dinner. Could not eat it all and took the rest away in a ‘doggy box’ for later. But… did manage the cheesecake. Mum had the chicken Caesar salad (main meal version). Place was busy, and if it matters to you either way, Dog Friendly.

Went to fludyers for Sunday lunch twice recently. On both occasions the food is good quality but a little overpriced. The only problem is the service. The staff are all very young and do not appear to have experience or to be well managed. The order taken promptly and food delivered with reasonable wait. However after this service disappears, no one clears the table or asks if anything else required. Even the bill is not forthcoming, you have to chase waiter for it and then you have to prompt them again. This happened on both occasions. The staff are often seen behind the bar, chatting, not paying attention to customers.

We used the restaurant for a special birthday lunch. Ordered swordfish, only to find out that , even looking properly grilled, was in reality completely uncooked inside. (Of course that's the case when you try to cook something frozen, without de- frosting it) despite the waitress assurance that it was fresh (the price tag was indeed for a fresh one). Not a word of apologies ,and we ended up having a mediocre fish and chips. My verdict Service 1 Waitress ( the one we approached to raise the issue) 0 Quality of food 0 Value for money -1 Really ready disappointed. Shame...

The Fludyers is the top eating place in Felixstowe in our opinion. The food is delicious, the location superb, the ambiance is spot on and all the staff members are brilliant. They accommodated a large party of us for Sunday lunch in the Simpson room and did a fantastic job of serving all our meals together. The waiting staff are all young but really courteous and attentive. You don’t ever have to ask for anything there because the staff are so on the ball with service.

The cafe has limited seating but I think it makes the atmosphere calmer and more relaxed. If you can't get a seat, they offer takeaway good and drink, which can be enjoyed on the beach if the weather permits. The service is always friendly and I've enjoyed every visit I've made. I like that the menu is seasonal. I always enjoy the scones and the cookie dough.

More of the same... Difficult to improve on perfection. 😁 What a lovely cafe, first time we have see this place open and what a treat. Not a vegan however with food and drinks like this I could soon change over. Went for the no sauss roll and posh toast, just so good and the coffee just so different yes it was a latte with oat milk with nutmeg grated on the top. Tasting is believing this place is really so good. The service was also very good not rushed and the whole cafe collecctecly furnished was just so nice. Needless to say we will be back to tryout the other specials as soon as we can. This is only a very small Venus with some 5 small tables so you will need to be patient or book. 😁 Now a regular place to visit we just love this place and continued changing menus and specials board never stuck for choice. Only problem now and in a good way is the ever growing popularity and our option to walk in off the street as it is Nealy always so busy. But still the best😊

Absolutely loved it in here!! Such a lovely atmosphere, amazing vegan food, reasonably priced, environmentally aware and the ladies were so friendly and inviting. Will definitely be coming back 10/10 recommend to anyone vegan or not!!! Take the plunge and give it a go, do the environment some good:)

In summary: Happiness on a plate. Quaint little cafe. Booking recommended to get a table as it is popular. We had today's special and it was fantastic. Vegan quiche (mushrooms, roasted garlic and caramelised onions) which was lovely and creamy. Coleslaw and potatoe salad. We couldn't help but try out the cake. 😀 Very nice.

Fantastic little café with delicious vegan food that will fill you up. I had the butternut and squeak toastie that was packed with flavour in each bite and extremely filling which is great. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful, even picked up a nossage roll to have later! Highly recommended for a great meal.

Delicious food, that is all vegan, and very economical. Our food was prepared for take-out very quickly and portion sizing was perfect. The staff were very friendly and the cafe had a cozy and warm atmosphere. Very much recommended, and we shall be returning!

If you want vegan or vegetarian here is the place to go! Service is prompt however all food is cooked fresh to order so it is a wait for your meal / snack so if you are in a hurry please be aware you have to wait but it's worth it. The staff were friendly and welcoming very homely atmosphere and well decorated. I would happily go back and sit in (we had takeaway food ). The quiche was delicious and they also do machta tea which I am sad that I did not have time to enjoy! (I think there is also Wi-Fi available if you want to sit in). Cake was also excellent and when we come back next holiday we will spend more time exploring the menu here.

Such lovely staff! Not sure of their names as I’m just visiting.. but a tall man with mousy brown hair and glasses, and a lady with short dark hair, tatts and glasses. You can see how much they care for their regulars, really lovely experience❤️❤️

A clean place to have a good cup of coffee. The service was quick and staff friendly.

Cozy, welcoming, great coffee, lovely food

Lovely place. Indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Excellent customer service. Delicious food and coffees.

Great setting right in the middle of Felixstowe high St. Tables outside, ideal for sitting out when weather is good. Wide selection of food items and drinks to choose from.

Great coffee ☕️ and freindly staff

Such a nacie café with a little view to the sea :) Loved being in Felixstowe!

Fulky vegan cafe that does live music, yoga, you name it. A real sense of community. The owners and staff are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee is great and the food is lovely. Loads of vegan cakes, constantly rotating. An absolute must visit. They have live music nights as well which I will absolutely be going back for. The decor is homely and you cant help but feel relaxed and welcome there.

Cuppa is the most exquisite cafe - an absolute jewel of a place nestled away on High Rd West Felixstowe - if you’re visiting Felixstowe you MUST go! We live in London and have spotted it on our way home many times before & today we stopped. We only had time for a take away but we shall be back! It’s early on Easter Sunday & we had the most fabulous welcome by a young man behind the counter who rustled up the most delicious coffee & we grabbed some gluten free cakes to go as well. There is a huge menu with vegan and gluten free choices, also lots of different milks. The ambience inside is wonderful, it’s beautifully decorated with carefully chosen furniture, so colourful and it just looked such a homely place. We absolutely loved this cafe , it’s exactly what we needed to cheer us up when we really didn’t want to leave Felixstowe (we never do!). This is a very good reason to come back again soon. Thank you guys for being open today & for being so welcoming. You rock 🤗

Several friends had mentioned this community cafe to me, and although it is only a seven minute cycle ride from my house, it's not on my normal route to anywhere. Except for the nearby Walton House dental hygienist - and today was the day! So, having been given a sparklingly dazzling smile by Angela, I parked my bike, admired the attractive exterior, and ventured inside. Wow!! It is the only word. The decor is both eclectic and extraordinary. There are comfy settees, bar stools, books to read, board games to play, loads of interesting photographs and paintings. The list goes on and on. Principally, Cuppa is a coffee shop and has lovely home-baked cakes, pastries, veggie sausage rolls, and so much more. Nice, unobtrusive, background music, too. My lunch was a yummy freshly baked garlic focaccia, sauteed mushrooms with nicely dressed onion and green salads. Washed down with a splendid cappuccino. All for a bargain £10.90. A friendly welcome, too, which counts for so much these days. I don't have another dental appointment until January, but I will be back long before then. But only if Pippin, the little dog, has stopped having a hissy fit.

Fantastic shop, staff are very warm and welcoming. Unreal selection of cakes and the vegan "sausage" rolls are quite exquisite. Have been made to feel as if we had been patrons for years even though only have just found this place. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Yet to give a rating for food as I only have coffee here, but this place has a lovely vibe and the staff are lovely. I really insist you pop in an say hello if you're in the area

Incredible apple tart. Fantastic coffee. Lovely bright, communal hub. Very dog friendly

My friends and I go fairly often on our lunch break for a catch up. Sometimes just coffee and sometimes lunch. The ‘Healthy Stuff’ plate is always amazing and I’ve also had soup before which was delicious. I love the quirky vibe and the fact in the past I’ve had a food intolerance, it’s lovely to have somewhere in Felixstowe that does vegan food. The staff are also so friendly and accommodating.

Massively overpriced! £7.95 for a toasted cheese and onion toastie (bland, white processed bread and zero garnish), weak coffee at £3.80. We don’t even pay those prices in London where the quality and service is far superior. A major issue is that the menu chalked up on the front of the kiosk shows no pricing - this is illegal! We have sent a photo of this to Trading Standards. Our strong advice is to use the Brackenbury kiosk or the Cliff Cafe - you’ll have a much better experience

A great find on our charity cycle ride in support of Headway Suffolk. Lovely cakes, tea and coffee right in front of the sea near old Felixstowe. Seating and the sunshine made it a perfect stopover. Thank You for your kind donation towards our effort👌

Amazing home cooked food and wide array of drink options with a lovely view. Great for a quick stop on a dog walk (they often have a treat jar). 100% recommended.

Really special place off the beaten track a bit, but they cater for every taste and even vegan vanilla ice cream offered with vegan chocolate or strawberry sauce so no one left out. Amazing range of treats and they run a beach hut a few steps away too pay at the kiosk to get a key to a great little base for your visit. Plenty of parking not too far away. Excellent coffee and sausage rolls. Hard to beat and THE nicest owners working there.

Lots of drink options. Food is excellent. Good seating outside - especially when windy! Hot chocolates went down a treat!

Great service, cakes and snacks. Wonderful icecream. Thank you The Dip.

Used a few times over the summer Always found very friendly and the food is freshly made Ice creams a bit pricey but never mind Use it or loose it Check the weather and opening times before travelling Much better than the other place

I love this place. Such a friendly environment and the service is always amazing. The food is always delicious. Especially the cookies. The toasties are perfect size for lunch with the side of Mac and cheese they are always full of flavour. I often get it to take away and everything is wrapped up and packed to keep it hot The drinks are equally delicious hot or cold. I've tried a variety of the bubble teas all have been lovely. There are so many different flavours to choose from. I often have a different one each time. Of the many cafes and coffee shops in Felixstowe this is one of my favourites.

Enticed by an offer of a free coffee if I bought a Cheese toastie (£6.50), I ventured in after hosting the first talk of the new u3a season in Felixstowe. First impressions are really good. It's a most attractive layout with tables nicely spaced out and a pair of comfy armchairs in each window. There was a friendly welcome and the order was quickly taken. I wasn't offered a choice of bread and was disappointed to overhear a customer later asking if granary bread was available, which it was, but wasn't offered. The toastie came with a few nachos and a large gherkin, plus I had opted for the taster of mac and cheese on the side. My cup of free cappuccino was undoubtedly the highlight; the toastie was completely bland, while the mac and cheese was overcooked and not at all pleasant. The gherkin was lovely! It's a pity because I liked the clean and welcoming look of the place. But I don't think I will be lured away from my regular haunt just a little further along the street.

Cute cozy cafe in Felixstowe! Lush toasties, mac n cheese, jacket potatoes and bubble teas. Highly worth a visit

Visited while we were on holiday. As a wheelchair user, it was very accessible. Staff were very friendly and the drinks/food was very tasty, especially the large selection of drinks. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again next time we are in Felixstowe. Thank you Cookie Barista.

I love bubble tea, would be good if you did dragon fruit flavour. Staff are great, always friendly and work hard to keep everyone served quickly.

Went in there sat 10th may 2025 and my husband had an espresso bubble drink and 10mins after felt sick and needed a toilet. Cookie barista doesn't have bathroom facilities and so my hubby had to hunt for somewhere that had a toilet as it was an emergency. Drinks overpriced for what they are. Made my husband sick and you have no toilet facilities. Wouldn't go again

Mike is a really nice staff member and helped me select the best cookie for me! He gave me the red velvet cookie and it is the best cookie I have ever had.

Stopped for a coffee but machine has been broken. Got tea instead. Sat down but sitting area wasn’t very clean. Although this place was very attractive to start with it had a bit of turnover once I stepped in.

Exceptional, this wine bar is stylish, cosy AND informative. In Felixstowe? Visit here, ask to sit in the back garden....enjoy! X

Really lovely it in this wine bar a huge choice of drinks lovely atmosphere and staff ,didn't eat this time but have and it's delicious ,just wish they were open more days so I could go more 🍷, definitely worth a visit

The photos on here are mainly from before this place moved. Same people but new location, right next to Sainsbury's. Very handy for our cocktail crawl, was the only place open up Hamilton Road before the station before the last train. A lot of plastic stuff adorns the walls and ceilings to get the right atmosphere, but it's a great little find with friendly owner. Amazing selection of drinks. The toilets here were VERY clean and well kept.

This is hands down my favourite bar to go to in Felixstowe, lovely decor and ambience, really friendly and welcoming owners and a fabulous drinks menu, what more could you want?! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Superb venue. Booked it for 2 hours for a Hen Do. Such great service. Beautiful decor too. Would definitely recommend.

Didn't try the food, but it looks good. Great service and good wine.

Excellent coffee that meets the taste. Quality shines through and it is definitely speciality coffee at its finest. Reasonable prices and a wide range of drinks (coffee and non coffee on offer). Friendly owner and staff as well and I'll be returning tomorrow before I leave.

Great quick service by helpful polite staff. The coffee is phenomenal. I'm a big Starbucks fan, this easily beats it. Perfect rounded flavour, strong without being bitter. Great iced teas as well. I haven't ventured too much further on the menu but it's a stop everytime I'm there.

Love this coffee shop, lovely staff, delicious cakes & coffee served with passion. Better than the ‘chains’ by far!

I visit Shore regularly for a morning coffee before I walk on the Prom or during the weekend when I’m out with my family. I would go as far to say that they serve THE best coffee. They also have a great selection of savoury and sweet snacks…the Sausage Rolls are my favourite 🤩 My daughter also loves their Milk Shakes. The staff are super friendly and you’re always greeted with a smile.

Best coffee I’ve ever had. Food is fantastic too. Service super friendly and chilled atmosphere.

This quaint little coffee shop on Felixstowe seafront is exactly the kind of place I want to spend my money. Friendly service, quality coffee and small homemade bakes for very reasonable prices. You won’t be disappointed.

Popped in on Wednesday last week for a pre work coffee as we were staying in the area and a local source had highly recommended this place to us. We arrived 10 minutes before it opened but the owner greeted us and let us in to order, lovely friendly lady recommended the cinnamon bun cake to me and made me a beautiful flat white, whilst my friend and colleague had the carrot cake, really good tasting coffee definitely up there with some of my favourite coffee places in London. Will definitely be returning once back in Felixstowe.

Ruby's is literally one minute away from my house, so it's really weird that I had never visited before. In my defence, it's at the top of a VERY steep hill down to the prom and it's just not somewhere I would happily cycle down. And certainly not UP! However, my colleague from U3A, Margaret, had recommended it and so, on a horribly hot and humid day, we ventured forth. I was amused by a mother and her two teenage offspring sitting at a table inside, then deciding to go out on to the terrace and, when that proved FAR too hot, returned, with bright red-faces, inside. They were lucky to find a vacant table because Ruby's is clearly a popular place. It's easy to see why. Their cake selection (see my photo) is hugely impressive, while their meal selection is fairly small, it is well-priced with huge portions. Margaret asked for an omelette which, although not on the menu, was happily provided. I opted for the croque Madame (£8.95 I think, but rude to ask, because I was the guest!) which was excellent, although I think one slice of the bread would have been more than enough. Both came with a nice little side salad. The two young servers were both very friendly and efficient. From pensioners to youngsters, it's clearly a popular little cafe. Which, once it cools down a bit, I will most certainly visit again. The cakes looked scrummy!

Ruby's speak easy bar is a real delight of a place to visit and should be added to everyone's list of places that are a must go. Within minutes of arrival we were laughing and joking with the staff and customers feeling really at home. Such a lovely atmosphere it was exactly what we all needed . Thank you to Hannah and her team . I look forward to many more fun times

Lovely café we found by chance when wandering around. Just called in for a pot of tea and a date slice. Both excellent and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was near to closing time so we sat by the counter area but there are a lot of tables at the back and it looked as if there was a bit of a seafront view from a balcony. Glad we called in. At the top of a hill so probably difficult to park.

Nice restaurant. Tasty and large English breakfast and freshly made chips Delicious coffee with non dairy milk options. Friendly and helpful staff that helped us with allergy choices. Clean restroom.

A tasty breakfast with homemade bubble and squeak was delicious. The service is amazing and the staff super friendly and welcoming. A very popular place for people to meet up for a chat in a lovely atmosphere based on the clientele today. I would highly recommend.

I came here for lunch with my mum and I was not impressed. The price of the food for the quality isn't good. I don't know if they have done any risk assessments or coshh training as when cleaning tables they're spraying the chemicals onto the table instead of into the cloth while people are eating around them. I also chewed on some plastic wrapper that was in my beans and when I told the woman who appeared to be the boss, she just said sorry half heartedly and said she will speak to the chef. When going to leave the woman at the register asked if everything was ok, i said not really as i chewed on plastic in my beans and she seemed to not even be listening. We didn't receive discount or anything as a better apologie for there being plastic in my food. I won't be coming back here nor will I recommend them

We got a new car to encourage mini adventures on the weekends. Simple plan to select a general direction & then find a highly rated spot for late breakfast. This our first trip took us to Ruby’s in Felixstowe. Thus far the most expensive breakfast we’ve had (considering the cost to get here) ... but simply put - SO WORTH IT 👌🏼😋 THE BEST pork sausages & homemade hash browns to have ever graced my English breakfast plate!!! The eggs, bacon, black pudding & quintessential baked beans equally splendid! Oh ... and they also happened to serve the best Cortado I’ve had in a very long time 😋 ... and a proper Belgian Waffle too 😁 Felixstowe also happens to be a delightful spot too and will definitely add to our must see again places (preferably in warmer weather though!)

The food tasted nice but I'm not sure the point of this salad. I'm glad it came with salad but one slice of tomato and a few lettuce leaves was very disappointing. Charged just under £3 for a can of coke.

Good breakfast other food looked lovely Lots of seating. Great coffee. Disabled ramp.Not far from waters edge. Public car park reasonable price pay with change. Public toilets very nearby. Very friendly staff.

Nice friendly staff, warm and welcoming, great seating, toilets near by, and easily accessible for wheelchair users. Great for dogs there are loads of water bowls. The best hot chocolate and sausage in Suffolk Highly Recommend! Great view and you get a peak of the Beach.

Fifties style dinner, with indoor and out door seating. Friendly staff, reasonable menu, prices reflect the area. There are no toilets on site , but there are free public toilets close by. There is paid for parking at the cafe.

visiting from Canada on my way to Bawdsey radar museum. BEST espresso anywhere in the UK. only good cup we had the whole time we spent in the UK and really enjoyed it. yep, sure did not expect that in such an out of the way place. thank you!

I love this place I don't think it changed over the last 100 years or so at least that's how it feels: you enter this place and you listen to lovely old music and you look at the old photographs; and by the way you get very very good fish and chips.

Lovely place to eat and drink. They play lots of 50's and 60's music which makes the occasion even more pleasurable.

A decent breakfast, good quality beans. Sausage a bit over cooked. Nice bread. Good coffee in regular and large sizes. Servers were nice and good at their jobs. Nice and spacious.

Came here with my family for brunch. The staff were very helpful in finding us a table (with one elderly man, a pram and a dog) we all ordered food which was well presented and very tasty. Highly recommend!

Don't go here if you are hungry!!! £6.45 for a salad with barely any salad. Also asked for no onion (lucky not due to allergy) but still got a surprise half way through! Panini was okay think there was more salad with that than the actual salad itself!! Very skimpy portions Sorry but will not return!

The Blue Nan was a place i spotted on Google before departing on my trip to Felixstowe. Although i fancied fish and chips all day, we decided to pop in for a curry as it was inly down the road rrom our hotel. The first thing is that this place dies not serve alcohol. On asking why, it was stated by the change of owner that it was because if his religious belief. He tells you this at the door so the choice is yours whether to stay ir go. I ordered a Lamb Vindaloo. I have been making and eating curries for years and i can tell you that this was the best, tastiest curry that i have ever had. The owner done the rounds talking to his customers which was a nice touch before realising that he was promoting his YouTube channel and New book as stating that he taught the chefs in the kitchen how to create the food. Can't blame him o suppose. They are all doing it these days. Well, apart from me. I must be missing out on something perhaps? A recommended place to visit.

Popped by for brunch on a Monday late morning. Full English gave 5/7/10 items of choice... excellent quality food. Super tasty. And the coffee was equally as good. £20 for 2 to have food and drink. Highly recommend.

Very nice place and verry good food, went there with my girl I had the homemade burger and my girl had the BBQ melt, both of them was verry nice and i had the chance to speak with the owner, he was a very nice and very short guy and he informed me that everything was home made, I also asked about the painting ( there is a lot of painting on the wall) and he said that he helps local artist by displaying their art on the his caff. Had a great day and food and ill go back for sure, 100% recomend.

I came here with my family for lunch it was first time me and other half came to lovely cafe and staff was lovely and food was delicious and will be back again soon and price really nice portions and not long wait time and lovely atmosphere 10/10

The bar is situated opposite Felixstowe leisure, it's a nice place, you can see the beach from here. Friendly staffs. If you like sweet flavours you can order the coffee cake. I like their fancy ice cream with many variants of flavour.

Lovely little ice cream shop, you can also sit in and eat some light bites like sandwiches and have a tasty ice cream for afters whilst you walk along the sea front and visit more local attractions such as the pier amusements , the big wheel or just sit and watch and listen to the waves. They have a variety of different ice creams and you can even mix and match flavors. They have waffle cones which taste amazing and dont go soggy. Prices are good and reasonable and staff are always friendly. You can even try a bit of ice cream flavour before you buy.

Really lovely staff and food, great to sit in the open window on a sunny day and watch the world go by. The coffee was very strong. Only blot on my visit was the toilet, the bin looked in need of a good clean and the floor was very wet, which isn't nice when you have to stand in it then walk it through the restaurant.

The portions were really generous and the ice cream was really creamy. They did take their time to serve me and it was a bit awkward though. The ambience was nice with the chippy next door and plenty of indoor tables.

Three times we asked for a lemon sorbet. The young lady repeated chocolate sorbet, then tried serving lemon curd ice cream even though we asked for the lemon sorbet, then she started to do chocolate sorbet once more, our 21 year old and her dad both went stop your doing chocolate sorbet, she has a dairy and gluten allergy she asked for lemon sorbet about 7 times now and your still not listening, she huffed, didn't clean the scoop correctly then put the 21 year olds spoon into her dads oreo ice cream before placing the spoon into the sorbet. No idea on service with a smile. No idea on allergies. No idea on please and thank you. We have made a report to the council as our 21 yr old could have died if she had actually eaten the sorbet once it arrived with the amount of chocolate sorbet mixed in it.

Wow, what a great ice cream. Went for a walk on the prom yesterday evening and wanted an ice cream other than a whippy type. Plenty of choice of flavours and I went for the 3 scoops!! The vegan chocolate is fantastic with a deep chocolate flavour. Also had a bounty and salted caramel flavour. Reasonable value with food portions and friendly service. I feel the need for another walk on the prom soon!!!

Lovely little ice cream parlour more to offer than expected! Even had dippy eggs on menu! Every order coming out looked well presented. Hotchoc with cream and marshmallows was delish what we needed on cold day along the front.

This cafe was a lovely place to get a breakfast. Me and my boyfriend visited as it was right next to the sea, with a wonderful view of the beach and the food was great! When we finally got to the counter after waiting for a queue of people they said the food was going to be ready in around 50 minutes. We were fine with that so waited and the food was lovely so it was worth the wait (I think we just caught the cafe at an extremely busy time). Overall great food and the service were nice too. Would recommend during the summer time when it’s a bit hotter as there was available seating outside overlooking the sea. Dogs are also allowed if they are kept on a lead!

I wouldn't have known about this busy little cafe had I not had a local host. Certainly I couldn't see any signposting at the road end when I cycled past on my new electric bike. It's a bit too squished in for my liking and whoever is in charge of the music needs to learn that simply turning up the volume when the place is busy just irritates. That said, the food was absolutely excellent. I had the home-made honeyed parsnip soup which was marvellous. Susan and I both had toasties with bacon, me adding brie. Yum! The little salad with a little dressing of some sort was really fresh and jolly tasty. Very large pots of tea. I ordered a pot each which was enough for four. If they bought smaller furniture, with more tables for two and sorted out the wretched musak, it would be five stars all round. The food certainly deserves full marks.

A great spot for a bite, great views overlooking the beach, gardens and coast. Outdoor seating was available, found the food very good and service was also good. Happy to recommend and will revisit in future.

Great food with quality ingredients. Cooked breakfast excellent, also fruit scone, jam and cream and flapjack. Coffee great. We were able to eat outside with a wonderful view but inside was also inviting and very busy. (Always a god sign) Smiling and accommodating service. We have eaten in several places on the front in Felixstowe but The Cliff Top beats them all hands down. Keep it up guys.

Casual place with good sea views. Food is freshly prepared and reasonably priced. We only had sandwiches but they came with a substantial side salad.

Excellent location overlooking both the sea and gardens. Food and drink were excellent with prompt service . Recommended

Excellent food and service, reasonable prices. Lovely position looking out across the sea, outside seating.

Really lovely cafe, the food is good. Quality ingredients used, which was great for an everyday cafe. Cooked breakfasts highly recommended... We came here everyday in the end. Julie is lovely as front of the house... Her huge waving through the window on our 3rd visit made me laugh. Good food, and welcoming... What more could you want?

Really nice cafe in Felixstowe. First time here and we went for the English Breakfast. Very good especially the local sausages.

Great breakfasts and lunches. Top quality sausages and bacon, we all enjoyed our breakfasts. They also do deals so well worth a visit! Thanks Cafe on the Corner!

Great service, food & value for money. A lovely , quaint , proper cafe. Really busy which was great to see.

Lovely cafe and friendly staff. Had a nice fish and chip lunch with my wife who had the hunters chicken. Delicious!😊

Love this cafe, staff always friendly and helpful, food always delicious 😋😋 and plentful. Highly recommend this establishment.

Me and the missus are very frequent customers and we’re always pleased with the service, food quality and general atmosphere. Definitely becoming a usual spot for us!

First visit, and after being welcomed by a staff member, my wife and I enjoyed the small and small vegetarian breakfast respectively, accompanied by generous-sized coffees, served in mugs. The cafe was nice and clean, and it being a Saturday morning, Parkrun participants steadily filled the tables as we ate—good to see a small business attract a steady stream of customers. Food was nice and hot, and a staff member checked that all was okay with our meal as we tucked in. No complaints from us, and we look forward to calling again when we’re over from central Suffolk.

Stopped in at this cafe with my wife and father-in-law while exploring Felixstowe & the Pier. The food was absolutely gorgeous and reasonably priced. Service was kind and communicative. Would definitely stop here again if we find ourselves in the area.

Lovely little cafe. Very kind staff, clean tables, prices fair, tasty hot food with little waiting time and a pleasant atmosphere inside. Highly recommend if looking for a coffee or feeling hungry whilst in town.

Great food! Staff were all welcoming and service was fast. The place is busy and yet the vibes was relaxed, homey and cozy! Highly recommend 🫶🏼

Beautiful place to sit with good views and 30 second walk to the beach. Staff are very friendly and pleasant and portion sizes are good. Small wait time and you can either sit indoors or on the veranda and eat outside. Seated are comfy and they even have a sofa if your wanting to relax and have a drink, dogs are welcome on the veranda. A good selection of different foods and drinks however we only go their for all day breakfasts. Will try something different next time.

Popped in this morning for a breakfast before leaving Felixstowe for home, based on the strength of a takeaway bacon and sausage bap we were bought on Saturday. Not at all disappointed, friendly service, clean and the food was wonderful. Best sausages and bacon I've had for years, home made hash brown was awesome and even simple things like the toast was lovely. Very well priced and we will certainly go back the next time we're there.

Lovely cafe not far from felixstowe seafront and pier. Breakfast was excellent in both quality and portion sizes. Service was faultless

A grey and cold January Saturday and every table in this excellent cafe is taken. The folk next to me were having grilled cheese on toast. THAT's what I am having next time. It looked lovely. My bacon and egg roll and cup of cappuccino hit the spot too. I've kind of adopted this venue as my base in the town while I look for somewhere to rent. I've enjoyed many excellent meals in the last six weeks, from their 'Sunday Roast', served every day, to a mixed grill and the ubiquitous fish and chips. I love that they have salt and pepper mills on each table, but just wish they would fix the door, which doesn't close properly. The staff seem to spend their lives stopping the winter chill pervading the otherwise cosy atmosphere within. It's also great that they have great wifi access. The decor in the toilets is something else and HAD to have a photograph included in this review. Highly recommended! (The cafe, not the loos!). Postscript: On a horribly wet late morning, I fulfilled my promise and returned to have the cheese on toast I'd SO coveted last Saturday. Excellent! With real Heinz tomato sauce from a bottle and freshly milled salt and pepper. All while the rain lashed down outside. Good plan! April update I was delighted to take my old broadcasting chum, Keith Skues, to the cafe on his first ever trip to the town. A plate of liver, bacon, onions and mash was much enjoyed! He, having been on Radio Caroline prior to getting signed to Radio One, was keen to see the plaque to the former pirate ship on the viewpoint above the Town Hall Gardens. Broadcasting Royalty in the town!

From start to finish this cafe deserves 5*. You are greeted on arrival - shown to a table by a friendly member of staff and left to select your choice from a very comprehensive menu. The food is served promptly, is generous in portion size and tastes wonderful. Value for money is excellent. The staff are attentive without being invasive to your space. The cafe is kept spotless and tables are cleared promptly. An all round excellent experience - highly recommended.

We came to Felixstowe for the day & found this cafe. What a lovely place! Everyone seemed so friendly & happy. The service we had was very personal to our likes & dislikes. Food came quickly & was piping hot, attractively presented on the plates & absolutely delicious. There isn’t one thing I would change about our visit here. Tables were quickly emptied and wiped ready for the next customers, there was a queue to get in for a while too. Lovely place! We’ll be back

I thought I'd try the chicken curry since it was in the "Home Made" section on the menu. Didn't have to wait long for it to come. Heat wise it wasn't very hot, nor was it very spicy I'm not sure if the rice was made with pudding rice? It was served with a side salad, that while it was dressed, (Not sure if it was seasoned), it left a fishy aftertaste in my mouth, as if it was dressed with the water\oil from a tin of tuna. I hadn't had anything to eat at that point, and my tastebuds a normally pretty good, but it threw me none-the-less The main dish was indeed clearly home made, but it was very watery and the chicken was a bit dry, and at £10 a portion, (Which was the size of what I'd call a small portion) it was well overpriced for what it was. I was expecting a dish the same as if you were making it at home with due care and attention, rather than something that seemed quickly boshed together with not a care in the world. I doubt I'll be going there again for anything other than maybe a coffee.

Had a full breakfast. Poor cheap sausage, dry bacon cooked to death. For £12.30 including a tea.Are the days gone of a proper butchers sausage? For what it costs, should be better ingredients.

Regular at this fabulous cafe. Food always delicious and perfectly cooked and presented. All staff so warm and welcoming it's like being at home! Sunday roast, all day breakfast and cottage pie very highly recommended. Very reasonably priced. Dont go anywhere else!

Absolutely beautiful food. Staff were lovely. Special shout to the host he was incredible we had our 2 young boys with us and he was so kind and respectful. Honestly and chef was so kind came and gave the kids high 5. will definitely be returning

£21 for 3 ice creams not good value as they were nothing special. Also, incredibly rude staff, told my son to shut up. Once I pointed out he has special needs they apologised, but this shouldn't happen in this day and age.

Love this place, with friendly accommodating staff. Food selection generous and well made. Reasonably priced too.

Bit slow but worthwhile wait. Generous helping of ice cream. Nice owner, just needs a bit of help when busy. Crazy parking charges, in the very smart new car park, on a Saturday in summer and 4 cars parked in it, min charge £4 !!!!! For 2 HR. No wonder the residential roads are chokka with parked cars.

Paid for an ice cream only for the ice cream to fall out of the cone, I hadn’t had any, only taken a few steps away from the counter. We asked for a replacement/refund only to be told he could offer us another one at a reduced price because it wasn’t ‘his problem’. Obviously not bothered about customers only about selling. Not hard to see what happened, laugh and put another scoop on as clearly he hadn’t pushed it down properly. Safe to say we won’t be going back there again and will not be recommending.

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and a cake while walking the prom

Lovely coffee and great cakes, friendly staff

Loverly place to come and chill out on own or as a family. What ever you life has to offer you. A bit peacfull away from humdrum of the 🏖.

Our local favorite coffee shop

Cute little cafe, with a great atmosphere! The food and drinks were great, would definitely recommend.

I've been wanting to go for ages, I always use the post office anyway, so decided I'd give it a go, and I wasn't disappointed, I had the large breakfast, all freshly cooked. I will definitely be going back. 😊

This is a very nice little Cafe coffee house. Great service amazing selection of drinks. Cakes. Toastes. Good price especially for the quality of the food

Small, friendly licenced coffee shop adjoining the post office. Very clean. I enjoy a breakfast. Great taste. Breakfasts only served Thursday, Friday and Saturdays.

Outstanding food and staff. Strongly recommended. They do Tapas Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings (suggest you book) which was novelty to me and really loved the experience.

A nice little place for a coffee and a snack, nicely decorated and cosy but not easily accessible for disabled people. There is seating on the top level but steps to get to the counter and toilet may be difficult for some.

Brilliant stop for a drink on a very hot day. Very friendly and attentive staff even near closing time. Found some shade, ordered drinks, brought to the table. The children won a donut doing their best dance moves, and there's a fun game to win a free meal. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Can definitely recommend, and would return.

A very clean and modern café, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. We had the Classis Reuben and Cheese & Ham toastie with two soft drinks - the price came to just over £27.00 which is quite expensive, but the food was good quality. All staff were friendly and there looked to be a variety of cakes and savouries on offer, as well as a good alcoholic drink selection. The music was quite loud for a weekday lunchtime, but that's only a small point to note. All in all, I'd recommend a visit.

Popped in for a breakfast brunch, food lovely, you can order from table using a website and staff all cheerful and friendly. Only downside is how busy it is, with tables a bit all over the place, making it challenging for people with limited mobility, or pushchairs etc to get through.

Was visiting on a week day so I can imagine that weekends can be really busy. We managed to get the table but otherwise it was full. Good amount of high chairs, great service and very friendly staff! Reasonably priced, for the sea side especially. Pastries and cakes great portions and amazing smoothies also out of 6 only 2 were available. Can't wait to come back

Perfectly located next to the children's play area - ideal for grandparents wanting coffee while grandkids play nearby. Despite busy periods, service remained excellent throughout our visit. Great lunch selection available, and the cakes and cookies were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Felixstowe!

Went in for breakfast a couple of weekends ago. Was quiet as it was early on a Sunday but there was a few customers inside. Ordered our food and it was with us in no time at all. Lovely breakfast. The service was great. Polite ,friendly and fast and reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back again and can highly recommended the full English.

We were asked for a tip at order, rather than at the end, the order was taken incorrectly. (Requested no creme)

The waffle shack was absolutely amazing!! Waffles crepes milkshakes and more it is excellent as a place to enjoy pudding !!! The waffles were big but not overlay sweet (you can fix this with the choice of toppings though!) The staff were friendly and welcoming and it was a bubbly relaxed atmosphere. It is excellent here and they do takeaway waffles too!

I have come here twice now and enjoyed my food each time. Nothing being a waffle with toppings for dessert and found them to be really good. The reason for my lower review is based on staff. The staff are seen visibly, leaving the back, walking to the front of the store, smoking or vaping with their uniform and aprons on, picking their face etc then going straight back into the kitchen cooking without washing hands. Also the time before I was there, the staff where too busy messing around saying about the beach street staff catching them and about how bad that would be and running in and out the store like children. Thought this was very unprofessional both times. The first time I never left a review as it was benefit of a doubt but the second time seeing what I saw made me leave this review. Again, food was spectacular.

Best waffles in town! The options of fillings and extras you can have, the sky really is the limit! We’ve had many a toastie here as well. Tracy and her team are extremely welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. And nominated for best casual dining in suffolk & cambs, THE BEST team, THE BEST service, five stars all the way! 💜

This place has the best waffles imaginable I would definitely recommend this place for when you are in Felixstowe you will not be disappointed. The waffles are amazing and so are the Shakes and the staff are very efficient and amazing and beautiful if I might add. But yeah definitely give this place a go because you will NOT be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing.Brilliant service and very good waffles so, it's 5 stars.really think it's a good place for a hot,sunny and have nothing to do!

Visited on 29.8.2021. Ordered three waffles, Americano, Latte and Hot Chocolate. All excellent, but you really need a sweet tooth for the waffles (maybe stating the obvious) and the waffle does lose its consistency quite quickly under all the toppings. That said, kids loved them!! Staff very friendly and service was quick.

The gluten free and vegan waffles were lovely! Only down fall was the staff seemed super miserable and made me wonder maybe that’s why it was dead in there.

Enjoyed one of the specials for the day, a hunters chicken burger which came with chips and coleslaw. All very nice and freshly cooked, the wife had the American breakfast and loved it. The guys there were really friendly and engaging, they can't help that they like cricket but we all have our flaws 😉🤣

Lovely cafe in Felixstowe. Lots of room and always really friendly and welcoming. Food is great and you get good value for money.

Lovely little cafe in Felixstowe Town, with ample parking over the road Simple tasty breakfast menu, made with great fresh ingredients Friendly attentive staff, decor is nice & fresh, with comfy & ample seating Would highly recommend this for a tasty breakfast & having seen (but not eaten) the afternoon tea that they have on the menu sometimes, I'm going to have to come back & try that ASAP!!!

Absolutely amazing food here! The chilli was 5% mince and homemade so was suitable for slimming world! They even weighed my cheese allowance for me! Fresh, local produce and great quality!

Outstanding full English this morning, top quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Easily the best breakfast in Felixstowe!!! We loved the proper coffees and real bread too, these made an already fantastic breakfast even tastier. Definitely our new favourite place for a Sunday morning treat.

Delicious hot breakfast for excellent value. Tea is strong and everything is cooked to perfection. Owner is lovely and will take care of you. We look forward to coming back.

Excellent breakfast roll, lovely cup of tea. Friendly service and nice clientele.

Absolutely the best coffee in Felixstowe! Coffee Link is hands down my go to spot. I have tried several of their drinks, the hot chocolate and banana mocha are absolutely delicious – and the coffee is always perfect. The staff are incredible, super friendly and genuinely lovely, which makes every visit such a nice experience. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just has a really good vibe. I honestly would not go anywhere else in Felixstowe.

Lovely coffee pleasant atmosphere and the service was attentive and pleasant :) satisfied my coffee craving even though I arrived 10 to 4 and was closing . Would love to try the other food and drinks on offer.

This is a fantastic coffee shop! The service was excellent and the staff were helpful, attentive and friendly. The coffee here tastes amazing and reasonably priced. Excellent atmosphere and I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful independent coffee cafe, several now over the world. You can choose from their blend or several different types of bean to suit ones taste. Professional attentive service, staff are educated and knowledgeable when ask about the different beans. I also asked for a Cortado, which isn't on their menu... not an issue! Follow them on Instagram for monthly competitions, which I won the June one!

Beautiful coffee and truly delightful service! One of the best spots in Felixstowe!

Great cappuccino from Benjamin. Sat quietly in the window enjoying the afternoon sun 👌

Really good coffee & lovely, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Very good customer service. Place itself small, I got a feeling of canteen instead of coffee/brunch place. Not very private if you want to have a chat with someone. Food was good. Although I would try something else next time. Place lunch order with work and have enjoyed it. Only missed some kind of dressing for salads. It was fresh but plain.

We love this place. The salad box is amazing value and you can tailor the ingredients to have exactly what you want. Very generous portions and a very considerate, friendly owner (Shania). We soon returned.

Can't fault this friendly little place. We ate in one day, and out the next. It's absolutely tiny - just three tables - but all food was freshly prepared... and where else would give you the option of a Yorkshire pudding with your jacket spud?!

Called in for my first visit. I Was looking for something light, not the usual seaside fish and chips. I had a Panini with salad garnish, very nice it was too. The staff were 2 lovely ladies who were very helpful and pleasant. Won't be my last visit, Pete the biker.

How refreshing to find such a great place with good quality fresh food at a reasonable price. Staff are so nice and friendly and certainly know and observe Vegetarian and Vegan handling of food and separation. Perfect size jackets that will fill you for the day with a mouth watering selection of toppings and extras including fresh, yes (fresh) salad to your own personal likings including or ommiting any items not favoured. We have visited a number of times now and the quality, freshness, value for money and great service are always the same. A range of other products savory and sweet are also available should you manage to eat the whole spud and have room for a desert. Only slight detail I'm not so sure on is the decor as this looks old fashioned and dated. Highly recommend this little gem, see you again soon.

Love all the food. Would eat here everyday if I could. So much choice on the menu. Great food reasonably price. Delivery is super handy too!

The best place in the whole world for Jacket potatos. We visit felixstowe regularly and always go here for lunch. The sweetest staff that make you feel like you're home. We love you spudhut xxx

Suzanne made our daughters 21st birthday cake. From start to finish she was in contact with us for ideas & the finished product just blew me away ❤️ The cake was absolutely stunning & made me cry as was prettier than I could imagine. Tasted totally delicious too! Very reasonably priced, very talented baker. Thank you thank you thank you x

We regularly order our staff lunches from Little Dreams Café in Felixstowe, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh, ready on time and delicious, with plenty of choice to keep everyone happy. The service is just as impressive, friendly and efficient every single time. We’re always looked after well, and it makes a real difference to our busy working days. We would highly recommend Little Dreams Café to anyone looking for amazing food and excellent service.

The best waffle place in Felixstowe! Always fresh, cooked perfectly, wide selection of toppings (and they are very generous with the toppings!). All with ice cream on the side. You can tell the cakes, cookies and brownies are handmade. Not some boring kinds but for example today I had oreo brownie. The cafe is very lovely designed, service is always with a smile and nothing is problem. They do delivery too which is very handy.

Have been there for the fast time & The place is lovely, the young chap in the front is so attentive, polite & professional loved him. The pizza was also nice even though the tomato sauce was little bit extra but it was lovely anyway. It was very cosy little place we all should visit & support it. Will definitely be back.❤️

The little dreams cafe is a beautiful setting with thoughtful and calming furnishings inside. I visited for the first time today for a spontaneous coffee and panini and both were delicious. The cakes looked amazing but I was full after the panini. With hindsight I should have got one to takeaway. The staff were really friendly and welcomed the dog too 🐾

Went here tonight with my daughter and hubby for bottomless pizza night and all we can say is WOW from being warmly welcomed, the lovely pink lemonade and latte to the pizzas that just kept coming everything was amazing. The staff were extremely attentive, capable and friendly, the pizza was amazing (that pizza base is out of this world) and it was great value for money too. We will definitely be back for another round soon :)

I have been to this beautiful little cafe a couple of times now and each time I have had a lovely experience, not only is the food reasonably priced, but it is tasty and believe it is home cooked, we loved the staff so friendly and polite, with great smiles, which is refreshing these days especially from the younger staff, so well done to you younger ones. The Cinnamon cookies are the best!! I have also tried the takeaway pizzas and they are yummy. Great place, highly recommend a visit. 😋

Beautiful food, very clean little cafe with plenty of free parking. We were greeted the second we walked through the door and the service was excellent.

Went here as had heard good things about it and was not disappointed. The cafe is decorated beautifully, the staff were really attentive and the food (we both had a breakfast) was amazing. Decent sausages, bacon etc and cooked to order. We will definitely be visiting again!!

What a great cafe, went in here for breakfast, absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and a nice mug of coffee for me and hubby had a mug of tea, in other cafes you only get small cups, so a lovely treat👍 the ladies who run it were very welcoming and friendly so thankyou for a good start to our day. We'll definitely be back.

Absolutely fabulous full breakfast, no frills just tasty food cooked well with friendly staff. And good value for money.

Super friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great food and a lovely place for a great breakfast. I called in on a friday morning with my 3 year old twins in tow, we were made to feel right at home and had a lush breakfast. Well done ladies I will see you soon

Very nice lady who prepares the food incredibly quickly. The food is delicious. Thank you

Great little gem of a place, lovely fresh hot home cooked food.great price and scrupulous clean

Stopped by for coffee, cake and an ice cream for my little one. Can only describe the experience as very odd. Can understand that coffee and cake might not be up to much in a small kiosk, but the staff were slow, disinterested, behaving oddly and to be honest I just wanted to get away as quick as I could.

Ice cream was lovely, not badly priced. Unfortunately the lady working here put a downer on our time there as she kept looking at my son and huffing at him. ( with him being a little behind and autistic he struggles to wait in queues which we are trying to improve). The man was lovely and kept explaining that they would be a minute longer as I explained that they were serving somebody else before us. This has now made it uncomfortable to return here as it is hard enough being a parent to an autistic child without being judged by people who don't understand.

Favourite place for a cup of tea in Suffolk. Lovely view of the sea from the clifftop, topped off with great service from the owners. Nothing to complain about. Also, the toasted cheese scones are fantastic!

Lovely kiosk that I have been to before, but not for many years. Was not disappointed, as had a delicious lunch there. The owner invited us to sit round the back and there was a lovely view of the sea there.

A very, VERY nice ice cream, and they do contactless AND cash. If you use the car park, read the board with the charges!

Now taking payments by CARD. Freshly made sandwiches, teas and coffees. Plus cakes ice cream and snacks. Clean seating and tables with excellent views out to sea. Friendly staff who bring your order to the table.

Best cappuccino I’ve ever had

This is an old-fashioned style of cafe which is sadly, to my mind, a dying breed. I am sure there are many folk who would much rather have a freshly-cooked meal or snack than something which has been sitting around in a breakfast buffet for hours on end. Anyway, I ventured here from the Premier Inn because there was a sign almost directly opposite my room to tell me it was there and, in any case, I really didn't want to sit in a very busy and horribly noisy hotel restaurant. This was just the job. A nice window seat to watch the world going by, a tasty breakfast roll, a filter coffee plus free wifi. FREE wifi!! (See my review of the Premier Inn for context). Excellent! Friendly staff and clearly very popular with locals and visitors alike.

Had 2 large breakfasts and coffees. Very nice food and friendly team.......and quick.

We love the family cafe! Breakfast's are delicious and great portion sizes! Service is amazing, always friendly smiling faces!

Very clean, very tasty breakfasts. Would recommend visiting for a lovely meal.

Good homemade meals Nice coffee Frienly staff

A really nice place to eat well priced,10/10👍👍👍

Great food, great service and big portions. Definitely one of the best cafes on Felixstowe.

I'm Scottish on business down here and was staying at the orwell hotel and found this wee cafe by chance.... It's also known as The Basics Community Cafe. Charity run 👍👍 Delicious bacon n sausage sandwich and only £4. But disappointed no baps at 10am in the morning but still a good sandwich 👍

Nice food, sociable staff that'll go that extra mile for you, and a clean, organised eating area. I particularly liked the breakfast 🍛 I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for a bottomless hot drink with it, but then I do drink like a fish 😆

I have never once been in the Laydens when it has not clean, the food for the type of cafe is excellent and most of all the staff are always friendly and it makes you want to go again and again. Its like one big family really. My friends and I look forward to going there week after week.

Excellent value meals of all sorts on the menu best prices in whole town for breakfasts and lunches Staff are all volunteers and very welcoming loads of things offered not just meals Visiting on the right day can see you having your blood pressure checked by the parish nurses or a group of people sitting knitting and if you want to learn sign language new course starting soon it not just a cafe it's a centre for the community young and old

Very cheap food exceptional staff amazing especially Sharon need to check it out x

Excellent little hidden gem in Felixstowe run by very friendly staff. All food is freshly cooked and offers really good value for money in this small but cosy café Highly recommended

Fantastic little place, lovely food and great price. And really friendly!

Great coffee, tasty snacks and friendly service with a cool soundtrack.

Ordered a kinder brownie tray bake for delivery - arrived on time with a friendly face. The bake was absolutely gorgeous for all senses. Smelled amazing, looked amazing and tasted absolutely amazing, highly recommend them as fantastic, professionally and friendly throughout. If I could give 10.out of 5 stars I would.

This place is amazing. I purchased cakes here for my family, and each one loved it. The salted caramel traybake was so moist and tasty, so big that I will have to eat it in two sittings. My partner loved the rocky road stuffed with a Freddo and various other chocolate sweets. Will be making this a habit when I come to Felixstowe. Also, very friendly and professional.

My favourite place to get coffee in town! Great service and loads of cakes 👍

Magnificent home made cakes and pastries at reasonable prices. The coffee was very nice too.

What a lovely little place and lovely looking cakes couldn't leave with out a few and the guys in there are very happy and willing to help

Fantastic little place, amazing treats and coffee, highly recommended

Ordered vegan chilli & cheese chips which were very nice when I eventually got them nearly an hour later after prompting staff I had places to be (goodbye lunch break). Also had an oat milk latte which tasted very odd. My families food took longer than mine to prepare even though they only had a cheese & pickle toastie and a chilli jacket spud. Definitely need to work on their speed of service.

The mad House is fabulous especially if you have allergies or intolerance to wheat.. Staff excellent . Food excellent . Great value for money... Love it.. Xxxx

Great time had be my family. Very friendly run business. Amazing homemade cakes with coffee to be had too. I would recommend this as a place to go with the kids for a sit down and you'll be able to have some good quality family time watching the kids get creative.

Amazing coffee shop!!! A nice vibe to chill out with a coffee and some cake for adults and also fun things to do for the kids such as painting a masterpiece of their own! All the girls who work there are lovely & helpful! Definitely the place to go in the holidays or on a rainy day! :-)

Good fun and really relaxing environment. Kids love it and it's not to expensive. Never felt rushed and always felt welcome. Home made cakes are also really nice.

Really friendly and helpful staff, we were made to feel very welcome. They were bringing people paper, fine liners, extra colours and it was done cheerfully. We did decoupage, we'd have liked a wider choice of papers.

Just when you think a company can’t get much worse... My daughter painted a ceramic frame back in April to put a photo in of our dog who had just passed away, we collected the frame when it was finished but with no glass or backing as it had been misplaced, we were told as soon as they could find them they would let me know. Our other dog passed away in May so my daughter was desperate to get her frame to put a photo of the two dogs in as she loved our dogs do much. After months of chasing I finally get told they would post it to me along with a refund. So today I open the package with not only the wrong size backing but no refund. My daughter was so disappointed and I am NOT impressed. Appalling service, no compassion and been told every excuse under the sun. 5 months is not an acceptable time to have to wait.

I love it here the kids get to make something and i get to eat cake ha! Our friends always gets my children vouchers from here for Christmas and we love to use them a few times a year!

Wonderful idea, come along to paint ceramic or paper mache objects, pay a set price for the paints and firing while each object has a price, starting low to high depending on what you pick. The best bit about it you can have a cup of tea or coffee with some cake. Plenty of tables down stairs or a large room up stairs for events and parties. Also a part of the #refill scheme so bring your water canister to get topped up.

Such a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Best part of our day trip and that was just how welcoming they were. Kids haven't stop talking about the ice cream.

Friendly, great value and great choice. Range of hot and cold food. My daughter loved the hot dog and my son loved the icecream. Really lovely people and very reasonable prices. Also sold a range of beach toys, from crabbing kits to body boards. Pay them a visit.

Kelly's of Cornwall ice cream are delicious, and the young ladies serving here are very friendly and polite. We bought our ice cream on cones, and they were placed on cone holders for us to pick up very conveniently. There is a great choice of ice cream to choose from, and prices are low.

Perfect little summer kiosk. Sells all the snacks, ice creams, hot drinks, bacon sarnies etc that you could want for. Coffee is from an automated barister machine which means it's consistent and I thought very tasty. Prices were good, I didn't feel at all fleeced by the location as it's often the case with such kiosks. Friendly staff, though a hint of stress as it's very early in the season. Have a good year guys. X

Karons Kiosk - Simply Marvellous! Situated along the Felixstowe Beach Promenade has got to be favourite kiosk to stop by and enjoy a delicious sandwich, coffee drinks, tea, cakes. treats and or ice creams. Owner and staff are stellar people with outstanding and friendly manner with great team of staff. I must say the bacon rolls are out of this world fantastic, coffee and teas are wonderful and a true value for money vs other kiosks. They even have loads of chairs and tables to enjoy the spectacular views of the ocean and watch the boats and world go by. I hope you also enjoy this as much as we do. Thanks!

Lovely food and happy staff keen to help.Good pricing and a local meeting place.

Great kiosk on the prom. Owners are lovely and treat you amazingly. Only had chance to stop off a couple of times but would come here every day if I could. Hope they enjoy their winter break, look forward to an ice cream when the weather gets warmer.
