What a little gem this is, fantastic pastries, cakes etc Coffees and much more. I had a breakfast sourdough ciabatta with sausage and egg which I highly recommend. Staff very friendly and the there is a nice outside sitting area too. Reasonably priced for the quality food. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area. Added bonus the lovely rivers walks are a minute away so you can walk that lovely breakfast etc off. Oops nearly forgot dog friendly too. Thanks for a lovely breakfast see you again soon.

The three stars are for the delightful young woman who served us. I overheard the remark from a table alongside us "I wonder how much you have to water the coffee down in order to get one that tastes like water - as this does" - says it all! Super staff... awful coffee.

The sun was shining but a cold easterly wind ripped down fen road. We wanted an ice cream so popped in for a cone and got out of the wind. Our server was a happy fellow and the ice cream was a good size for the priced paid. What a treat on a Wednesday.

We had never been to this Cafe before and so decided to give it a go. We were quite pleased with the refreshments and at a reasonable price. The seating was either inside or outdoors with access for everybody.

Small with a few outside tables however the Ice Cream is just lush and you can stroll along the quay looking at the boats especially when the sun is shining.

This cafe sits by the quay where owners boats are moored and hire boats moor up for a stay. They do snacks cakes and light lunches. The food we had was pleasant and well prepared. Just sit in the open with a cup of coffee it is really relaxing.

We used to enjoy coming here for a snack or ice cream whilst staying at the yacht station but no more. Whilst the coffee was ok the ice cream now comes in a variety of lurid colours, and my husband found his pasty inedible ( unheard of). The selection of cakes is not what it was and certainly nothing appealed to either of us.

After a nice walk to The Quay this is a gem of a place to enjoy a great coffee & "naughty" cake & watch the boats on the water.

We frequently buy snacks here when moored in the yacht station. It is only a small place but in addition to great ice cream and coffees has a huge, mouth-watering selection of cakes and pastries. Savoury snacks (pasties, sandwiches etc ) are available but choice is subject to availability. I have always found the staff extremely polite and friendly. We will continue to pop in regularly whenever we moor here.

This is a really nice cafe serving nice tea/coffee etc and nice cakes. It's right by Beccles Quay and has lots of outdoor seating (but I don't think it has any indoor seating. Good icecream too. Very clean, worth a visit.

On a brisk but Sunny late March day this was a great little understated place to take a ponder by the Deben (I think) with a sit down and some refreshments. We had a hot chocolate, coffee and a couple of Danish pastries and lovely they were too. They seem to do ice creams as well and if you're waiting behing a group of teenage girls who want all the sprinkles and sugary bows you may have to wait a while as you watch how deep they actually put that ice cream in the cones, let me tell you, they're not scrimping. Good coffee, spot on hot chocolate and tasty Danish pastries. It can get busy as it looks popular.........even in March

Wanted some sandwiches but only offered ones already made and not what was on the menu. Plastic ham with no seasoning . Not good value for money. Very nice setting by the inlet from the river.

We were staying in Beccles for a family holiday, very close to the Quay. Popped in to the Quay Cafe for a cup of tea and a cake after an afternoon's walk. Service was friendly and efficient and drinks and food was fresh and tasty. We sat outside watching the world go by, a pleasant venue, we would happily recommend.

Lovely place for a good value , pleasant tea break during a riverside walk.The service was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. There was comfortable seating both inside the small cafe and in the sunny riverside area. The range of buns and cakes was wide and the prices were very reasonable.A warm welcome to a pleasant town.

The cafe is nicely situated and you can sit by the river. The food is OK but rather expensive for a small cafe.

The café is the only place to get snacks within a half mile or so. The choice is limited but reasonable. There is indoor and outside seating and it is somewhere to rest after a long walk around the river and the quay side.

It is really cosy, just like home! food is delicious ( love the ice creams!) and because it is small, it is really fun and there are really friendly people. There is a store next to it, a great place to look at after your visit!

This is a lovely little cafe. We always pop in when we take a trip to the quay, either for a drink or an ice cream. It is great value for money and not overpriced like some small cafes are!

Set on the quayside this perfect little cafe provides everything you need after a stroll through the historic town of Beccles or a walk along the River Waveney. Sit watching the swans and boats as you sip your Americano or just spend an hour people watching as you eat one of their delicious ice creams. The ice creams are great value; large, creamy and in a waffle cone. What more could you want?

In the past we've really enjoyed our visits to this Costa but as of November-ish 2024, they don't appear to stock any vegan options in their sandwich/roll lunch type options. We went two days ago and the only vegan item they had was a teacake. I'm dairy intollerant, so we went elsewhere. Other Costas, such as Riverside, have vegan options... Greggs next door does too. We ended up at Pizzahut.

I do not usually write reviews, but our experience at The Wildebeest deserves one. We visited last night for my Husband's birthday and both opted for the 7 course tasting menu. Every single dish was stunning, from both a taste and visual perspective. The service was impeccable. Each person who attended to us did so with a smile. They were also very knowledgeable about the food and wine, presenting the dishes to us with confidence. Thank you, we will be back soon.

A beautiful location, excellent food and attentive staff. However, after 75 minutes we were told that we would be asked to vacate our table soon. The restaurant and marquee only had three other tables in use, the majority of tables were empty with no reserved notice on them. 30 minutes later we were asked to leave. The indoor tables and marquee tables were still mostly empty. It was all rather uncomfortable and felt unwelcoming. The excellent food and beautiful location were completely overshadowed by us being asked to leave. I would understand if the tea room was busy and would have vacated our table, as I understand how important it is for businesses to make a profit in these uncertain times. I would have thought that any establishment would welcome having customers sitting at tables when a larger number of tables are empty, as it creates a visible sense of activity that can attract others. Seeing people already enjoying the space can reassure potential customers that the place is worth visiting. Personally, when I pass by a venue with empty or mostly empty seats, I can't help but wonder why. Some cafés, even prioritize keeping window seats occupied because it sends a message to passers by that the business is open and thriving. Ultimately, businesses rely on customers—and customers are human beings with emotions and needs. By understanding these needs and emotions, businesses can build stronger connections and, in turn, achieve greater success. As the saying goes, you may not remember someone's name but you will remember how they made you feel. I felt unwelcome and sadly will not be returning or recommending this location, which is a shame. Why 'sadly', because I felt the food on offer was excellent and the location beautiful. I'm sharing this as I hope the cafe reads this and realises they could be sabotaging what has the potential to be an amazing business.

Having drank there a few tines we thought we would try Sunday lunch. Four of us were put at the smallest table in the middle of the bar, the larger tables reserved for twos and threes, odd, they did offer to move us but why seat us there if they had larger tables? The vegetarian 'roast' was TWO over cooked cheap veggie sausages (none of us could eat them),disgraceful for £13.95! How is that a 'roast'? Over all the experience was uncomfortable. When paying the bill we had one (the cheapest) meal knocked off and an explanation that the veggie roast wasn't usually sausages and they weren't the usual veggie sausages, maybe explaining to the customer that the quality was inferior to the norm, before they order, would be a good idea , but obviously they would rather people just paid, said nothing, and left. Definitely not a place for anyone expecting a good Sunday lunch as described. Disgraceful.
