Delphine's Diner in Suffolk Coastal

Amazing xx lovely staff and atmosphere and full vegan menu which was yummy! Restaurant was clean and beautifully presented. Fairly priced and so close to the beach.

This little diner is situated just as you enter the high street. I would say it’s a colourful collaboration of retro meets kitsch and funky as hell. The two ladies that run it were super accommodating. Highly recommend the tuna open sandwich. The real star though was the home made slaw. Banging.!

Concept good…. That’s about it really, pancakes and breakfast roll average. Didn’t get our coffees and asked the waitress if we could have them, she looked rather bemused and apologised. She had served 5 other drinks and then run out of coffee!! Told her not to bother. If she spent less time singing and wandering about behind the counter she would have seen she needed to put more coffee on? Perhaps try having two pots going together. Won’t bother with another visit

Great place. Lovely frothy coffee and vegan feast. Dog friendly. Vegan friendly. Great Vibe. Nice atmosphere. Would come again.

Found this in a soggy drive through of Aldeburgh. Quick park up and in we went. The inside is small and the decor is quirky and we all sat (being of a certain age!) looking and remembering the items on display. Service was quick and freshly cooked. The food was good two had pancakes syrup and bacon and egg and my egg was cooked as requested. One had pancakes and cream and her day was made with sprinkles. I was pleased to see just the right amount of maple syrup - a lot of places give you too much and leave you swimming in it. One has a pot of tea to herself and was very happy. The lady (Delphine herself perhaps) and the cook were really friendly but not intrusive. It was just right for a sudden find!

If you want to sit in an ice cold cafe and eat an over priced ice cold bacon sandwich...this is the place for you. Thought we'd give this place a second chance. Bad idea. They really need to get the basics right.

We are three vegans who went in for breakfast and I have to say it was lovely. Great vegan fritters served with our breakfast. Good service and lovely atmosphere.

Sat at one of the outside tables, waitress very pleasant and took our order. Lots of singing from her and who I assume was the chef. Drinks arrived promptly but after about 45 minutes no sign of food, Caesar salad and a Burger, so my partner popped inside to make sure we hadn’t been forgotten. The waitress was apologetic, my partner said it was fine as we hadn’t got anywhere to be and it was polite banter. A couple of minutes later the chef came out and started telling us off. He said that all the food and ingredients were freshly prepared (constantly repeated this) and that it was busy, approx 4 people sat inside, so could we be patient saying that we had upset the waitress and that it didn’t look good in front of other customers us chasing our food! Well the salad arrived and we waited and waited so I told my partner to start eating. After another 20 minutes my food arrived. My partner had already finished his food. We went in to pay and the chef was at it again telling a lady that it was cash only and couldn’t she read whilst stabbing his finger toward a sign on the open door. He then started on us again blathering on about his flipping ingredients. Well I couldn’t help myself and said if he stopped the incessant karaoke singing then he maybe able to prepare his fresh ingredients and actually serve two dishes at the same time.

The cream soda float took me straight back to childhood, our son enjoyed a hotdog & cheesy chips and a Oreo milkshake. The place itself is small but has a friendly family atmosphere. The staff are lovely & we really enjoyed our visit.

Perfect pancakes (maple syrup ratio bang on, as per my wife lol) Friendly service and lovely food. Delphines is a step back in time whilst serving up excellent food. Door stop toast and good portions. Also pooch friendly. Worth walking to end of the high street for.

We found Delphine's on our way to the beach. It is a fantastic little island of kitsch 1950's Americana is what is otherwise a very lovely, but one note, high street (think Waitrose By The Sea). I had my very very food fussy 12 year old daughter, Paddy, a well behaved Labradoodle and my daughter's sugar loving friend with me. My daughter asked for a special order, (burger with plain bun, and chips, no relish, no salad) which the lovely man cooking and even lovelier waitress made it very clear was not a problem. When we arrived, there was only a two seater in the corner available, and, as there were three of us, I asked if we could move to a bigger table if one became available. That was also not a problem and as soon as a bigger table was free, they prioritised cleaning it up, and we moved. Some of the fresh ingredients needed for the milkshakes on the menu hadn't been delivered that morning, but we had that explained before we ordered. My daughter's friend ordered an Oreo Milkshake which was bigger than she was. She finished it. We all had different burgers and they were all absolutely delicious. When we go back to Aldeburgh, we will be heading there again!

Loved this American-style diner. Got here as it opened on Sunday morning - very lucky as this place filled up quickly! Loved the pancakes. Decent coffee.

We had two vegan brunches this morning and they were lovely, especially Delphine's homemade bean fritters. We loved everything about this café. Décor, music, food, lovely smiley friendly staff. It was perfect. Thank you. 😀

Well the choice of American culture influenced drinks and shakes here is just most excellent, I had a Dr. Pepper float, which was so divine I had to have another one. It wasn't cheap, but worth it. Hot dog was lovely as were the fries, great taste, although the wait was long, as we came in with a crowd of people at the same time (only a small restaurant). Have been coming to Aldeburgh for years and never tried this place before, small interior so book, and tables are a little cramped. But this is a little moan. Loos weren't working when we went, so popped around the corner to the pub. Overall an enjoyable meal, and satisfied cravings for an American dinner meal.

Food was good and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great, all things 50's and 60's including the music which the chef was singing along to! Only downside was that it was quite cold inside

A relaxed 50's style diner in Aldeburgh. Quirky decor and background music to match - chef does provide a bit of vocals but who can resist singing along to a bit of Elvis? Had late breakfast - Lumberjack special (pancakes, maple syrup bacon, fried egg) and sausage bap with scrambled eggs. All freshly prepared and tasty. Yes you need to be patient but then there is only two people...and it isn't fast food. Staff are friendly and the fact that they welcome well-behaved dogs is a real bonus; fair prices too. Bring along a sense of humour and you should enjoy!

From some the reviews? I could not see , what is this all about ? Very slow service and just didn’t enjoy my breakfast . Will I go back ? No way !

Delicious burgers, such a brilliant choice of veggie and vegan, and really tasty. Veg burger was really nice, I had the avocado and smoky bbq sauce one. Lots of great salad. My other half had a meat feast, packed with bacon, salad and everything. Amazing sundaes - we had banana. Fab original decor, great detail from the kitchen cabinets to the glass vinegar bottles. And we loved the singing chef, to great soundtrack. Great Sunday afternoon end to our weekend in Aldeburgh.

We found this place by accident and it was a pleasant surprise. We had breakfast 3 days in a row. The chef does sing a lot but it didn’t annoy us like some people have written about. The coffee is just instant stuff but the milkshakes are really good. The food is really nice and it does take ages to be served but we were on holiday and didn’t have anywhere else to be so it’s not a problem.

We visited the diner on Mother’s Day 2022. It’s only small inside, but we were lucky enough to get a table. Our teenage daughter had wanted to go here for a while. She is a vegan & had plenty to choose from. We got there just before midday & managed to have 2 x veggie breakfasts & 1 x vegan breakfast before they stopped doing them as they only do them 10-12. The food is freshly cooked & delicious. The decor is very nice inside & interesting. The photo is of the veggie breakfast. Good music to listen to, also. The staff were helpful & friendly. We would definitely go back.

Amazing decor! Worth a visit just for the atmosphere, from the music to the mirrored ceiling. Arrived without a booking, which was lucky as other diners were arriving after us when the tables were full. Cash only but the staff allows for ordering before going to the cash point (a couple of mins away, at Co-op). The service isn't fast but it's nice and fresh. The toilets were a bit of a mystery - don't handle 'heavy use' and various warning signs, and couldn't find a flush button

Loved this place for lunch today- we just happened upon it. Fantastic hot dogs and burgers with lots of veg /vegan options. Everything tasty and beautifully presented. Also great milkshakes/desserts all in quirky American diner surroundings. If we weren’t leaving the area tomorrow I would...

been here a handful of times before usually it’s a brilliant experience but this time it was not. they gave the table next to us meat when when they had asked for vegan. then when our food came they were missing one plate the waitress...

In the pouring rain a great find to cheer us up with good food and friendly and helpful service. Very accommodating of an egg allergy too.

My wife & I ate here yesterday. It’s a quirky place, I had a burger & my wife a hot dog. The portions were huge and very tasty.

Comfy little diner on the High Street. We were able to make a booking for 8 plus our 4 dogs which was great. We had a mixture of burgers and hot dogs - all excellent. Great milk shakes as well

Visited today for lunch. Had the Hot Dog with Onions & Cheese and were not disappointed. It came with skin on fries, salad and coleslaw and was lovely. Would definitely go again. Staff appeared happy and chatty and we’re nothing but polite. Thank you

Fab little place to eat as a family. Really lovely food and such friendly staff. Dog friendly and it felt like the staff really cared, which you don't get in a lot of large chain restaurants.

We spent a very chilled out time here for brunch. It is a small establishment & to counter others’ reviews on here that mention this fact negatively, I see it as the place’s charm. The vegan breakfast was very good indeed and my partner enjoyed...

The waitress that served us was lovely. However, the chef was obnoxious and needs to learn how to speak to customers and recognise who is paying for his business. Food was mediocre.

If you like fifties retro diners this is a must visit!! Lots of original features and a nice if shortish menu. A nice addition to cafes in Aldeburgh!

Fantastic evening meal with the family. All three people working were extremely friendly. The food, we all had burgers, were amazing. For anyone in search of a dog friendly place in Aldeburgh, this definitely ticks all the boxes. The owner is a dog lover, there...

Dined there twice on our weekend get away food was amazing lovely menus great selection of wine , staff are friendly manager funny guy but so welcoming it’s a must do wine dine perfect

We loved the food, the music and the place! Welcoming and freshly cooked food - what is not to like?

Really feel sorry for these small cafes /business owners who have been living under a dark cloud during 4 months of Lockdown, terrified that their livelihoods are not going to survive. The Government scheme of ‘Eat out to help out’ has brought additional challenges in...

This is a small place in the High Street in Aldeburgh. Despite the place being very small and with only nine customers, it took 45 minutes from ordering to get served. Food was distinctly average and and my burger was grossly overdone. Despite this being...

Popped in with a friend for a late lunch, what a delicious treat. Friendly, smiley and flexible service (and dog friendly - yay). The ice cream floats were a taste of childhood and the burgers were divine!

We visited for an authentic American breakfast, however this place didn’t live up to expectation. The decor is tacky and the whole place felt a little bit sticky. We ordered pancakes with bacon and eggs. The pancakes were very nice, and so were the scrambled...

We made an unplanned trip to Delphine's for drinks. I asked if it was alright to sit at one of the tables outside as we hadn't booked. My husband had a bubblegum soda floater, I had a cookies and cream milkshake. Both drinks tasted great...

Had breakfast with the local lifeboatman and dogs (very dog-friendly). Surrounded by 50s kistschabilia. Watch your breakfast being cooked. Love this place

Called in here at the weekend for a sit down and a hot drink. The menu outside states that they offer lunches and fantastic breakfasts. On entering we were asked if we wanted food as there was none ! at least two hours before they...

Great breakfast, extensive vegan and vegetarian options, good service and atmosphere, dog friendly diner. Had Sunday brunch here and we all loved it. Run by a very friendly, personable owner with a sunny outlook on life. Can not understand comments about his singing, perhaps they should have gone to the nearest McDonalds for a bland, no atmosphere meal. Thoroughly recommend for something different to your usual cafe meal.

Breakfast average, knickerbocker glory tasted dreadful (cheap tinned fruit salad), instant coffee, grubby and tatty surroundings, slow service. Man who cooked and served sang constantly which was so irritating we couldn’t wait to leave! Avoid!

Targetted this place as last time we were in Aldeburgh we'd spotted its boasts of vegetarian / vegan food. This time, we were encouraged further by a laminated vegan menu stuck to the door, though this was not in evidence when we sat down. One menu/drinks list had felt tip scores across it -- guess those items were all 'off'.This is a tiny place which could be cosy and fun, but the atmosphere was a strange mix of grim, determined munching by the only other couple in the place, and the relentless singing and whistling to an over-load radio by the gentleman behind the counter. Perhaps he was bored, having driven all his customers away? Perhaps it was sheer lack of self-awareness? We'll never know: the atmosphere was so intrusive and oppressive that we upped and left.

We spotted Delphine’s Diner on the way into Aldeburgh and decided to check it out. It is quirky but the menu was comprehensive with lots of American Diner fare, chilli dogs, burgers, pancakes, milk shakes etc. My wife and I chose salad options & freshly made coffee.The food was plentiful and very tasty. For food alone I’d recommend this establishment. The owner or manager (I don’t know which) is eccentric, he sings and hums constantly but you know we’re all different and it didn’t bother us as it has others reviewing on here. We’d definitely go back and would encourage others to as well. Clean bathroom, well kept tables and large choice of options to suit all at reasonable prices.

Came for an early dinner, arrived at 16:10 - they advertise they close at 17:00 - and was told by a rude man they were closed. When we said we thought they didn’t close till 5pm and it was only 4.10pm he said, I’M CLOSED, and walked off!Well we won’t be back! Shame as we were looking forward to it.Suggest this chap should not be in the service industry if he doesn’t like people.

A 50s diner with excellent food. The owner was very friendly and sings constantly which we enjoyed. My wife had the best veggie burger she has ever had whilst I had a huge veggie hotdog which was really nice. Will visit again when in Aldburgh.

Friendly girl who served us.We ordered Belgian hot chocolates; she took ages to make them and they were neither hot or very chocolatey, just warm and slightly beige looking. It didn’t help that they were served in badly cracked mugs either. They need to learn how to get the basics right.A rip off for £2.95

If you fancy a luxury Belgian hot chocolate, don’t try here. The drink was served it a mug with a crack in it and was neither hot nor chocolatey.

A themed 1950s cafe which serves milk shakes and ice cream sundaes the like of which I longed for as an OK Boomer 1950s kid and deprived of such things as we were all broke.

Delhine's is a tiny diner with 4 tables and a couple of bar stools and promises an American Diner experience with lots of ice cream sodas and american kitch. Unfortunately it fails to deliver. The chef cooks in the open plan kitchen and for some reason sang constantly the whole time we were there, stopping only to patronise the waitress, snap our heads off when we dared asked for some salt and to start a fight with a poor woman who dared to ask if she could reserve a table. "I'm not going to ask any of my customer to leave' he bellowed at her. It really was quite an unpleasant experience being in there. I ordered the prawn salad, this being Alderburgh I was tempted by the Atlantic prawns on the menu. I expected them to be frozen but I didn't expect them to be smallest, cheapest prawns you can find at the cash and carry. They couldn't do an iced coffee, or serve a coffee over ice, but generously agreed to serve a coffee, and a glass of ice so I could pour it on myself. The coffee was instant and horrible. My husband ordered a ginger beer and was told that that was only available on the winter menu. Not sure why they gave us the winter menu to choose from. I have never given a bad review on Tripadvisor before as all restaurants have bad days and I try to find the positive when eating out but this place takes the biscuit. Terrible service, uncomfortable atmosphere and poor quality food.

Popped in for a drink with the kids whilst passing by and had a shake each. Lovely young lady served up. The chap behind the counter was quite a bit irritating with his very loud near constant humming.

Me and my partner came as we were searching all around Aldeburgh for any form of veggie food that wasn't pizza. even all the fish and chip shops were closed just for some chips at 3pm! We stumbled across this place and loved the diner aesthetic, and were thrilled to find they were even dog friendly. We got a cheesy veggie dog and a chilli veggie dog and they were really tasty and we felt they were good for the price, as it came as a full meal with chips. We even had a cream soda each which topped it off nicely. The staff were friendly and the service was really fast to say there was just one chef in the kitchen at the time and the diner was almost full. It's relatively small but just about the right size!

Popped in here for a cup of tea before a walk around Aldeburgh. Husband went in and ordered and paid and then came and sat down outside where we were sitting as it was such a lovely day. After 10 minutes a young female waitress came out and asked us if we were waiting for our tea, to which my husband replied we were. Another five minutes passed and then the same waitress came out with our tea in two grubby mugs and practically threw them onto the table at us!! The tea was stewed, no further milk or sugar was offered and it wasn’t hot, the teabags had obviously been sitting in the mugs for too long as there was scum on the top. Very disappointing, we thought it looked such a nice place to go, but as regular visitors to Aldeburgh we won’t be going again and won’t be recommending this cafe.

Was looking forward to having breakfast here after popping in the day before to check on opening - very friendly and lovely 50s style interior. Unfortunately our breakfast was rather disappointing - my vegetarian option was so greasy I ended up feeling queasy for the rest of the day. I asked for some sauce and by the time the rather sullen teenage waitress brought it out, my breakfast was practically cold. Our second cup of tea was served in the previous unwashed cups we’d used - at least I hope they were ours! Needless to say we won’t be returning.

We only had milkshakes here so can’t comment on the food. We loved the decor and the retro vibe of this place. A lovely warm feeling of familiarity for a child of the 70s with glass fronted kitchen units, 50s style diner, American sodas and a eclectic mix of other interesting decorations. I like it when you get more from a place than just the food and drink. Our ice-cream milkshakes were also delicious.

Attracted by the offer of many ice cream sundaes, and salads on the menu, we went in, as this was our first time in Aldeburgh. However, I’m sad to say, it was a let down. What appears at first glance to be a friendly cafe in the American ‘diner-style’ is in fact not very well managed, with inaccurate waitress service (the young waitress didn’t take the very simple order down or communicate it correctly so we were served one wrong thing and not the second part of the order after what had already been a bit of a wait; when we asked where the missing item was we were told two desserts had been put together in one dish - weirdly, as this was not requested at all - rather than served as two separate desserts, one for each customer. So we had to wait a long time again to half rectify the mistake). No proper apology was forthcoming, no thank you for understanding we got things wrong, or for the terrible slowness and inconvenience, when we settled the bill. So an hour was spent there eating just a salad and an (inaccurately made) dessert. For almost £6 for each ice cream neither of which tasted that good or special in the end, I think both the service and the food could have been much better. As there were only two of us there, the tardiness was a mystery too. We had also been told a couple of items were not available on the menu (‘sorry we’ve run out’) and it was only 2pm. A small biscuit was put on the dessert for decoration instead of the ice cream wafers promised on the menu. Then half way through our time there suddenly the WC was ‘out of order’. Naturally that can happen anywhere, but it just seemed to sum up the general ‘things don’t work here’ vibe, which is a pity. When we walked further into the town we found Aldeburgh has several lovely eateries, cafes and ice cream shops. Overall our conclusion was that we felt rather disappointed at Delphine’s Diner.

A big mistake was made with the clear order we gave and all we got was ‘this happens’. Overpriced. Virtually empty when we visited but very difficult to get attention from anybody. The salad was titivated from a bag and overpriced. We ordered two sundaes and ended up with one that was an amalgam of both and two spoons. forced ourselves to eat as could not afford to waste £12 on ice cream. had asked for a cherry on the top and got six glacé cherries mixed in with ice cream? If you didn’t understand the order, why not ask for clarification? No apology but the worst was a very clear and sullen lack of a ‘thank you’ when we paid, in cash as no cards accepted. Was going to forgive and forget but we are fed up with this kind of useless service. Avoid.

My wife and I had dinner here. It was good pub food with friendly service. It was very busy because of school holidays. As a pub I would recommend it. Children and dog friendly

Had the pleasure of eating at the Diner today with my partner, son and dog. Firstly, the place is lovely, full of retro charm with authentic fixtures and fittings. The owner was equally as lovely and the waitress was very helpful.

We decided to visit after seeing the sign on the sea front

Nous avons pris un shake dans cet endroit atypique et très sympa ! Personnel rigolo et de très bons produits ! nous recommandons

Over £50 for 2 x burgers, 2 hot dogs and an omelette! Won't be able to go there again. I have a holiday home in Leiston but won't be putting them forward for my guests to go there. However, they did oblige with an omelette even though it was after 12 noon.

Lovely breakfast in a tiny sweet little diner. So small you may have to hang around or go for a walk to get a table. Retro kitsch, lots of character and a nice start to the day.

A really great restaurant serving American food. The setting is 50’s style and very authentic. If you are taking a group of more than 2 then seating can be problematic, space is at a premium. The food was good and the cream soda float took me back to my youth!

We went there for a late breakfast, mainly because this was the only place which seem to be serving hot breakfast that late. Im not big fan of the ambient, its very retro, but with all the bits and pieces it kind of create an impression of being unclean and dusty (but its subjective). The gentleman serving us was at the same time the cook as well, and seem to be slammed by the fact that there were 2 of us and than another couple arrived after. He was really nice and friendly, however I cannot forgive the burnt omlette I received. I mean this is the easiest job in the kitchen, so wonder where they would get with a more complicated food item. Nothing was amazing, coffee was rather average, my omlette was burnt, overall when the bill arrived I felt we paid too much for the food provided. Will never return for sure.

Just back from a family meal at this delightful cafe. The service was friendly and efficient and the burgers were delicious, came fully loaded and with home made slaw and fries. Lots of lovely little 50’s touches. We left full and happy.

The place is friendly and clean and we enjoyed our previous visits last year.

Unfortunately our Saturday night family dinner was ruined by bad food and poor service. The “skin-on fries” were fried so much that that’s all they were - skin! No potato left (definitely not like the fries shown in the pictures!). Never been served anything quite like it. But what made things worse was the cook’s reluctance to admit to her shortfallings when we asked for new fries. She reluctantly served another small basket for all 4 of us after we’d virtually finished the rest of our food. Although the 2nd small batch were better, the customer service was appalling and left us regretting our choice of restaurant. We were also underwhelmed by the non-chocolate tasting chocolate milkshake and over priced American beverages. The only good thing about the visit was the burger but unfortunately it wasn’t good enough to make us want to go back - ever!

Strange place . The idea is to be a 1920s American diner and supposedly prides itself in vegetarian food and milkshakes . Trouble is that in the 1920 s in this country you could only get powdered milkshake and that is what you get ! American diners have rather moved on from that . The orange juice is cheap concentrate . The other annoying thing is that there is no functioning loo . In fact I have my suspicions that a loo doesn't even exist as the out of order sign has been on the door for about 3 yrs .

This is the third time we have visited Delphine's Diner: as always there is a warm welcome!

3 previous attempts to eat here, ended in disappointment as never open!

We visited this tiny phage on a chilly Tuesday morning in October to find it almost full. All three tables were taken and the only space left was two stools at a breakfast bar. We sat there but luckily one table became free and we moved to he more comfortable. Service was a little slow and the waitress seemed to lack confidence. We ordered two King breakfasts and tea. The food is cooked to prefer and arrived about 20 minutes later. Unfortunately the plate only had one egg rather than the two that should’ve been. We had to query this at the counter but the cook was apologetic and soon brought our missing eggs. The food was hot and delicious, with locally sourced and good quality ingredients. The bacon was especially deli and cooked to perfection. Overall a good experience and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Aldeburgh.

We went to Delphines for breakfast last week having been several times when we were in Aldeburgh last year. Sorry to say it wasn t as good as I remembered - the veggie breakfast seemed to have shrunk with “one tomato” now meaning I’ve half not even a full one ! The kids looked forward to their pancakes with maple syrup but also days they were both different - and not in a good way - to last time. Also no music/radio on which made for a bit of a subdued atmosphere.

Popped in for a nice dinner after long walk along the promenade in Felixstowe just a week ago. I asked hubby to popped in there as I was waiting for that legendary place.

We walked by and saw the restaurant and thought WHOW. This is great fun. Went in and had a great lunch. Chili dog and milkshake, the best.

Having seen that Delphine's Diner has now arrived in Felixstowe I couldn't resist taking a look at their veggie options for their new, larger than Aldeburgh, premises on the seafront. What a surprise, rather than the vegetarian and/or vegan options being the 'if we must' part of many restaurant menus, Delphine's extensive burger and hotdogs selections were all offered in both meat and meat-free versions. How refreshing. I went for the 'Squeaky' burger, which was a tasty spiced chick-pea based pattie with halloummi melted on top. It came with all the usual burger trimmings, plus a well dressed salad, homemade fries and a side slaw. The only down side was that the food was falling off the plate. I'd definitely recommend this diner to veggie friends and family for a no-fuss lunch or early evening meal.

Visited for lunch and sat outside as good weather. I went in to order my open sandwich , same for my husband, plus two cokes. We waited a long time although not very busy despite being carnival day. Basically we got two slices of bread with filling on top. My cheese could have been grated to look more professional but it was just sliced cheese that I do at home. Pickle was good but too much of it but that’s just my taste . Salad on the side.

The premises are full of character and the menu had a good variety of options for vegetarians. U fortunately they were out of veggie burgers but the hotdogs were delicious. There was a wait for the food but there were signs telling us about good food not fast food. Enjoyable lunch.

Vegan hotdog, skin on chips, wonderful! Very helpful friendly manager :) An excellent addition to Felixstowe, closely positioned near to the new Pier who at the mo are lacking in vegan options so this is a perfect alternative.

A pastiche southern US 1940s diner, playing rockabilly music, with burgers and shakes far too large for most stomachs. By no means haut cuisine. But loved by all children.

We have been to Delphine’s a number of times and EVERY time it’s just delicious. Went this morning for breakfast - buttermilk pancakes, bacon and maple syrup - just divine. And the service is exceptional. A little treat for our dog (we sat outside) and lovely conversation. So excited to hear they are opening in Felixstowe. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food, great music, great welcome and service... all add up to a great fun time. The isn't a better restaurant in Aldeburgh... really. Thoroughly recommended.

Homemade, great quality beef burgers. Lovely crisp skin on fries. Fresh accompanying salad with a tasty dressing and deli style coleslaw. Sundaes with Rossi ice cream and fresh whipped cream (not the plastic out of a can spray stuff). Really great family run restaurant. Not to be missed :)

I find some people's reviews fascinating. It feels like people go to a diner and expect Michelin food and toady service. It is neither of these things; it's great food in a fun place. I'd easily take Delphine's over both those impostors in a fifties flash.

We visited in late October 2017 with 4 adults and three children aged 11 to 7. Great food and service in a unique atmosphere unlike any chain. Go and enjoy.

Just wandering around Aldeburgh we had already had a large late breakfast and were out for a three course meal in the evening so just needed a little something for the hunger gap. Delphines was a great choice where we enjoyed a beautiful milkshake each with some fries.

Nice experience for breakfast but won't rush back . Food was OK but not great . Have been told that the full English was very good but the vegetarian wasn't very good . Very cheep orange juice and coffee .

What a gem this place is! We only stopped for a mid-afternoon Ice Cream Sundae but wished we'd gone earlier for lunch when we saw the food being brought out. The sundaes were indulgent and the Cherry Soda was amazing! The decor is delightful and the staff were chatty and friendly. Definitely on our return list when back in Suffolk.

Looking for somewhere to have breakfast, parked right outside Delphines and popped in. Waitress came straight over with menus, we ordered frothy coffee and two breakfasts. The coffee was lovely, in fact I had two cups. The breakfasts would have been perfect had the bacon not been over cooked and dry and had they offered jam or marmalade with the toast. Maybe a little overpriced. But it is worth a try.
