Went in at 2 pm for a coffee and cake. The place was nearly empty. We ordered our food and drink and felt the whole time we were there that the people wanted us to go as they constantly cleaned around us and started putting food away half an hour before closing. Even though lunch menus were out we were told when we went in that lunch was finished and they almost turned an old gentleman away at 3.30 because they were shutting at 4 only letting him have a drink and cake if he sat at one of the tables that hadn't been cleaned. Will take my custom to oranges and lemons in future.
This is a family run business. The proprietor is a much loved local girl who personally prepares all the food with assistance from her very capable daughter, who also owns and runs the bakers shop, two doors away.The food is always fresh and served with a smile, and chat if there's time. Perfect for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea but closes soon after 4.00 pm in the winter, so, not suitable for dinner.This is an asset for the village, a pleasure for the visitor and a reminder of what village tea rooms were years ago!
I’ve visited this lovely tearoom twice recently after completing a circular walk via Flatford. Both times we had the delicious home made soup and was tempted by the lovely selection of cakes on my first visit in January. I can definitely recommend this place if you’re visiting the area. It seems to be very popular with local people and there’s artwork by local artists on display at very reasonable prices. I bought one of the paintings last week after our visit!
We stumbled upon this restaurant while driving in the area, and we are so pleased that we decided to stop for lunch. The atmosphere was clean and Covid-friendly. The homemade quiche with salad and coleslaw was incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed lovely coffees and cakes as well. The friendly lady serving us went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place.

A delightful establishment, very clean a tidy. Friendly, accommodating staff who made us feel welcome. Scrubbed pine tables and chairs but a gem of a courtyard, dappled in shade which was the ideal place for us to sit and lunch. A pot of tea, served in dainty china and a lush ham baguette with salad garnish and an egg and cress sandwich bursting with filling. All very reasonably priced, will definitely go back.
We visited this tearoom mainly based on the reviews on this site. We really weren’t that impressed. Had a cheese scone which was warmed up in the microwave. I am always a bit suspicious when this is done as a freshly made scone shouldn’t really need warming I suspect it was from the day before. It certainly didn’t taste that fresh. The coffee want that great either. I don’t think we will return
I stopped for lunch and had a delicious coronation chicken salad. The meal was beautifully presented and there was plenty of space for social distancing outside. All the food was homemade and they offer free parking nearby. It's the perfect place to stop for a meal or a drink and a cake before or after exploring the village of East Bergholt Flatford.
This cafe is not pretentious at all. The service was a bit slow, but there was an apology. The atmosphere is a bit plain, but the prices are very reasonable. They offer soups, sandwiches, and cakes. They make lattes, but only have basic filter coffee. The coffee is not too strong.

An impromptu visit but quaintly surprised at the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. The quality of the food was excellent and would strongly recommend that you visit.
