We had a lovely experience, our first time here. (After looking around the beautiful town and shopping in the superb antique shop almost opposite.) We were sat at a window table, charming service from two staff, ate a great breakfast (the best veggie one my partner had eaten in a while!) and shared a lovely slice of cake. The young waitress was sweet and helpful, we enjoyed a chat with other customers. A really nice brunch for us.

This is a great independent cafe on the main drag in lovely Long Melford. The cake selection was magnificent and we had beautifully fresh and delicious sponge cake each. There's a good menu of light lunches and savoury options and a few tables outside. I thought it was really very good and the service was warm and friendly.

Limited seating, but I’ve never struggled to find a spot. The staff are always really friendly, happy to explain the sweet treats of the day and give great recommendations. I visit from London often to see family, and I have to say… they make the best chai latte I’ve ever had. Breakfast is also fantastic, with sausages that are honestly to die for.
