Barleycorn in Forest Heath

This is my favourite place to go, for coffee, lunch and now the fantastic Cocktail evenings. This family work so hard to make this business successful and the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and welcoming. As a single lady I know I can come to Barleycorn in the daytime and evening and they will make me feel so welcome. I took part in a Prosecco and painting evening last Friday, it was a delight and enjoyed by everyone. Cant wait for the next one. Please support this business and enjoy the delights that Barleycorn Café offers, you will not be disappointed. P S very dog friendly and my dog Freddie enjoys the dog ice creams a little too much!

An evening booking for a night of cocktails and fine music. Very reasonable prices for the intimate and wonderful ambiance provided. The Barleycorn provides what Mildenhall has been crying out for.

I can’t rate this little gem highly enough! Local produce and the best homemade scones with different and experimental flavours each week. The coffee is excellent and the service is top notch. Everything is homemade, baked freshly that morning. Highly recommend the quiches! This is a gem in the community and the staff give you a warm welcome. This is a lovely cafe by day and at night it transforms into a cocktail lounge. The cocktails are all fresh, mixed and served beautifully and are reasonably priced. Upstairs they have a function room that can be booked for larger gatherings, birthday parties, baby showers and afternoon teas. In the summer the enclosed garden is wonderful, it’s a perfect little sun trap.

Booked their room upstairs for a baby shower. From start to finish the customer service was amazing. The room was made up beautifully and the staff were attentive on the day. The food was 😍 and so much of it we took home doggy bags. I will definitely be booking with them again

Stopped off as heard good things it's quite quaint a wee bit small. But was very disappointed to find out they don't make any of the baked goods or cakes themselves and apart from some sandwhiches they put together everything is just bought in from other places. A nice little place like this should be baking their own bread and cakes! Such a shame! Especially as they go on at great lengths about how it's "homemade" but I guess they mean someone else's home? Shame

We love ❤️ Barleycorn! And we adore the new decor! Shelby and her team are all friendly and can't do enough for their customers to make us feel welcome and valued. Dogs are welcome too

Not been to Barleycorn foe a while but very pleasantly surprised with new garden cafe and as always excellent food

Lovely space being used well. The homemade cakes make the journey worth while, always fresh and delicious. Locally sourced produce which is always a bonus. Such a friendly place no matter what age you are. I cant wait to try their afternoon tea, have seen it go by on previous visits and looks so inviting. The prices are spot on. A real gem in the town.

We visited for a 6.30pm roast dinner slot on 12th August. Choice of beef or pork. Locally sourced so can be different according to supply. Amazing crackling with the scrummy pork, the beef was tender and tasty. Too many Yorkshire puddings, mountains of vegetables and crisp hot roast potatoes. Endless gravy and sauces. We took our wine as Shelby doesn't have a licence yet. Strawberrys 🍓 🍓 and cream was fresh and rounded off a lovely meal. We sat in the private courtyard. Allowing for social distancing. A lovely evening. Thoroughly recommended.

We had afternoon tea and it was AMAZING. Really delicious and so fresh. Also what lovely staff!! Highly recommend. Thank you so much :)

Wow this cafe has just started doing Sunday lunches. Have been today and what a feast we had. Everything is homemade and boy can you tell. Service was second to none will definitely be going back. Proper family run business, meals are served on the cafe China brilliant. When people find out about this little gem you will definitely have to book a table.

A new venture for this little gem and to be recommended - lovely meal beautifully cooked. They cannot accommodate too many so booking essential but a real treat so go.

Not only do these ladies provide the most exceptional food they go above and beyond with their service. They provided a bespoke buffet for our Christmas party and it was so much more than I imagined. Their enthusiasm and passion for their job shines through in every aspect of what they do. Highly recommended.

If in Mildenhall a visit to Barleycorn is a must! All food is home-cooked and there are new dishes to savour almost every day. The staff are fabulous - nothing is ever too much trouble - and the ambience in this lovely little place is absolutely cracking! Meet Up Mondays is a popular event and tea and biscuits is free! Sit around the table and enjoy chatting - it beats a lonely cuppa at home any day.

What lovely local place to relax and eat. The staff are always very welcoming, with fresh breads, a great deli selection and lovely loose leaf teas. Great to go out in the courtyard on a sunny day, set in Mildenhall’s historic market place

When you're a stranger in town and you go back to a place for the second time in 2 days and you're greeted with 'ooh, hello again!' you can be sure you're onto a winner. Lovely coffee and, on the second day, a fabulous Suffolk pasty. Delish heated with a bit o' pickle on the side. This is an independent local that is working really hard to provide a simple yet delicious menu with quality products - as well as offering tip top friendliness. Apparently there is yoga upstairs - and talk of other kinds of events. Bring it on. Why venture to bloomin' Costa when you can go somewhere unique like this?

Visited with friends with high hopes after reading such good reviews. I left feeling I was in a different universe to the other reviewers I've seen!The cafe is very small. It does have an upstairs but this is a dark grim looking room without a breath of character or atmosphere. The garden is pleasant on a nice day.To start the cafe promotes itself heavily on its vegan menu. What vegan menu? I was offered home made hummus salad wrap, probably the most boring thing you could think of and which looked like it had a crust on top as so dried up. There was not even any vegan cheese. There was a couple of bought in vegan cakes. Nothing appetizing or new for vegans at all.One of our party had a nut allergy. There is a sign up saying to ask staff, but on doing so it was obvious they had no clue and no packaging could be found in order to check. The cakes are displayed uncovered along the top of the chiller for everyone to cough over and flies to land on. Same with the bread in the window. Nothing is covered in the chiller cabinet either which meant coleslaw etc had unappetizing dried crust on top.I personally couldn't fancy anything to eat and as vegan options really aren't a thing as advertised, along with no reliable allergy info we went elsewhere.On leaving we noticed several flies around all the uncovered food. Just eww.......The manager seems to think you can blag your way out of every situation. Fudging around lack of choices for example. Crusty hummus and 2 cake choices for vegans does NOT mean you cater for everyone. But most shockingly I felt was her let's guess and hope attitude to allergies. VERY dangerous! If you want a good choice of food, served by knowledgeable staff, in a hygienic environment then this is not the place for you!!

Lovely as ever. Lots to look at in the little courtyard. Yummy and reasonably priced scrambled egg on toast - perfect.

Popped in to have a look. Bought some fantastic bread, pasties and sausage rolls. Lovely staff and excellent service. Will go again for tea, cakes and savories in the shop next time.

Called in selected caked and drinks ordered and sat in the courtyard garden. Drinks and cakes arrived quickly by friendly pleasant staff. Nice leaf tea enough for two cups and cold drink. The home made cakes were delicious, one the blueberry bread pudding and a vegan banana cake. Would recommend them. God place to visit.

Visited here for brunch one quiet Saturday. Staff were friendly but not at all organised.

I go here regularly for a coffee and sometimes lunch, the staff are fantastic and always friendly. The menu is lovely and there is always a wide selection of homemade sweets and savouries. They specialise In healthier options but also do an amazing chocolate cake!

I had an excellent Kundalini Yoga class with Siri Anahata and after class I enjoyed an wonderful vegetarian lunch with a tea in the outdoor garden tables...

Friendly service, pleasant surroundings (secluded and very pretty courtyard at the back that you wouldn't be aware of without going in) Had a light lunch, the summer salad and it was really tasty, so impressed, will definitely be returning. All freshly made and interesting food, not boring old usual stuff. Lovely, can't rate it highly enough. A real hidden gem in the middle of Mildenhall! It is a real feel good kind of place.

Business trip. Found a gem of a tea room . Good quality, fresh and well presented. Large choice. Friendly and accommodating. Went back on the second day. No brainier! Will visit again on my next trip to Mildenhall. Excellent!

Nice welcoming into this nice small establishment. We sat in the enclosed garden at the rear very welcoming. Service friendly and efficient good loose tea served. Both had a toasted tea cake very good but was slightly over cooked making it crusty these bits got stuck in the throat causing a coughing fit. May try one of the other nice looking cakes next time. Will return.

Excellent food and very pretty outside seating area. The owner Shelby was very attentive and extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit for breakfast and lunch and even try out yoga in room available upstairs. The staff too were very friendly. Please pop in and see for yourself

We came across this cafe/deli by chance and it was a delight. We were invited to join the Monday Meeting group which if you arrive before 10 am you get a free tea or coffee. ALthough we weren't local we were welcomed into the group and spoke to some of the locals

Stopped in for a quick lunch a few weeks ago and was so happy that I did! This small cafe is such a treat with the homemade goodies and delicious lunch options. The bread was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, the ham portion was large and the mature cheddar was outstanding.

I was recommended to visit the Barleycorn by colleagues when they realised that I liked little cafés with a good selection of vegetarian food. It was an excellent suggestion and I shall be returning for lunch tomorrow. The soup was good, hot and vegan and there were plenty of other options too. The coffee was good, there are loose-leaf teas and the cakes were hard to resist

Salad not the best looks like it has been designed for kids the way it is chopped up - bread and rolls are good - varied selection of cakes and pastries - it is a shop catering for some eat in food

visit this one of you like good quality deli stuff lots of home made treats made by the proprietor which are different to the usual deli offerings, yes I am a regular

Staff are very helpful. Fresh produce, great quality, room to eat upstairs, downstairs and pretty little courtyard garden at the back. Best scones I've had.

Fuimos a por un café con un amigo. nos estaban esperando para tomar el bus de regreso a casa. El maíz, la cebada es una pequeña homilía lugar hacen almuerzos ligeros de té de la tarde, cuando el tiempo lo permite, podrá sentarse en el patio en la atmósfera encantadora sensación volveré de nuevo.

Tuve la alegría de encontrarme un amigo para almorzar en Barleycorn. Como llegamos nos dieron la bienvenida y nos invitaron a ir arriba a una agradable zona de asientos. Cada uno de nosotros pedimos sopa y la envoltura de Turquía. Eran deliciosos y muy rápido. Nos gusta nuestra conversación tanto pedimos una taza de té y bollos. Me gustó el Tiffin toffees, que era increíble! Espero tener muchas más paradas de almuerzo.

Perfect lunch option with hidden garden seating. Staff are friendly and the soup options are rustic and generous. Great value for money. No parking do you will need to park in the town center and walk.

Enjoyed delicious quiche and salad lunch in courtyard sunshine. A perfect lunchtime with a latte and smiley service. Highly recommended oasis is lovely location just by the market cross

El edificio es histórico y encantador y aliente a investigar. El personal era amable y servicial, y la comida es deliciosa y muy interesante, con opciones vegetarianas disponibles. Había ensaladas deliciosas e imaginativa para acompañar la espinaca y ricotta lasaña elegí en esta ocasión, mientras que mi marido eligió la "Fuente de Barleycorn", que le dio generosas rebanadas de jamón de REAL, una ensalada fresca y despejada y atractiva sobre la lechuga y col casera y un recipiente de encurtidos. Me habían tenido previamente un Stilton y brócoli quiche, que era casera con la pastelería más ligera y sabrosa y servido con los aderezos para ensaladas. Estuvimos tentados por las tartas y pasteles en mostrar así que elegimos un delicioso pastel de zanahoria y húmedo, pegajosa y un pedacito de avena de frutas. Mi marido tenía latte café & tenía una buena taza de té, hecho de hojas sueltas y entregados, por lo tanto, con un colador exquisitos bocados. Agradable para hacer estas cosas correctamente! Nuestras comidas sirvieron con cuidado y el decoro y nos sentimos bienvenidos. Disfrutamos de la comida en el encantador jardín del patio, a la sombra de un enorme árbol de almendra, raftings y estar rodeado de plantas en macetas y descarado dunnocks, que esperamos para migas! Hay una gran variedad de mermeladas y encurtidos, así como tés y demás productos a la venta en la tienda, sin mencionar el pan encantador panes y bollos, tartas y pasteles y para llevar. Esto sin duda será un lugar habitual para nosotros y el piso superior parece muy acogedor en un día menos una veraniega decoración en tonos. No puedo esperar a volver.

A menudo bajada al Barleycorn cuando estoy en Mildenhall ... a veces para tomar un café y un pastel y a veces para el almuerzo. Me encanta sentarse fuera en el patio si hace sol. La comida es sencilla pero sabrosa y muy bien presentada y siempre hay una buena opción vegetariana. El personal es siempre muy amable. Hay otras dos zonas para comer ... uno arriba y la otra en la tienda principal. Todo tipo de cosas como pan, chutneys y mermeladas están también a la venta

Almuerzo tranquilo en un patio encantador. El servicio fue de primera y la comida era deliciosa. Tuve un huevo y sándwich de pimienta negra con ensalada de patatas. Me encantaron los asientos al aire libre y me gustaría volver en algún tiempo de postre.

Precioso fresco, comida sana, personal agradable y buenos precios. Es un lugar estupendo para reunirse con amigos para el almuerzo y la barra es excelente también.

I've had a hard time finding a soup/sandwich place close to where I live. That may be because I've yet to strike gold or because I keep comparing other shops to Barleycorn. Barleycorn is a smallish shop, with downstairs/upstairs/garden seating. The staff are always friendly and smiling. They make their sandwiches fresh and if you come earlier, you may be able to get their delicious pea/ham soup on the side! Its quiet a bit cheaper to take out than to eat in. Delicious menu!

This little shop is Lovely. I'm always popping in for some rolls, meats and snacks. Always good service. Clean and good value for money.

The Barleycorn is a nice little deli/cafe off of Mildenhall's market. It has a deli counter with selections such as smoked salmon, tuna mayo, and assorted hams and cooked meats. The bread and rolls are fresh and nicely presented, and there are loads of extras in the Barleycorn as well. There is a cafe garden, some indoor seating in a country style, and a nice shop selling local preserves, artisan cheeses and gourmet sauces. My most recent visit was pleasant, and the bap with tuna was generously filled, and the service really pleasant. The shop is worth a visit if for nothing else to browse the pickles, jams and preserves.
