Doffy's Vintage Tea Room in St Edmundsbury

We visited this quaint little tea room for breakfast today. One of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had. I asked for my poached eggs to be hard, and they were perfect! Lovely tasty sausages and bacon and 2 rounds of toast, which is rare. Very busy, very friendly owners, and I would highly recommend. I hope the owners see this review as I promised I would leave one. Thank you. We will definitely be returning!

Could not fault Doffies. They made Gluten Free scones for me today which were lovely and still warm. Thank you

Brilliant cafe, fab service amazing home made cakes and a huge tea selection! Brilliant catering for external events as well

We enjoyed a most delicious lunch at this very pretty cafe. The food is excellent and the service is great. Will surely keep coming back again and again. Thank you Doffy's cafe.

We stumbled on this little gem of a cafe on a day out in Haverhill. What a lovely place. Spotlessly clean. Beautifully and uniquely decorated. Tables inside and outside. Prompt and friendly service. A good awareness of dietary needs - and the best cheese scone ever! Accessible toilet at back of cafe a bonus.

Decided to pop into the local tea room last week with a business client and what a lovely little delight this place is. The food was cooked perfectly and the menus are very modern. We decided to end the meeting with one of the owners homemade cakes and it finished off the brunch in top fashion. The staff were very friendly on our visit and made sure everything was to our liking. Overall will be coming back here for further business meetings. Top Notch!

Excellent little place filled with lots to look at old fashioned tea pot loose tea it's great scone and jam and cream. Although the scones were very crumbly this time round it was hard to put cream and jam on otherwise it was lovely

Lovely food and tea is really nice best poached eggs ever

Me and my partner came into Doffy’s today for some brunch and wow! The food was lovely and definitely worth the visit! The friendly waitress greeted us with a warm welcome and a smile on her face and took our order and our food and coffees were with us within 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend if you are nearby or visiting the area. Also definitely recommend there fruit cream tea scones! They were delicious! Thank you all! Joe and Terry

Amazing food and friendly service. The home made scones are truely amazing, and as for the hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream...wow! And for Christmas they have Black Forest Hot Chocolate!!

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Beautiful poached eggs and a huge tea selection

Fantastic cakes and especially poached eggs on toast best in town bees coffee mug Lovely ladies great service

Vintage tea room. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. “Would you like an adventure now, or shall we have tea first?”

Such a lovely place to go for a catch up with great food and service

Freshly made sandwiches, generous fillings - ginormous fruit scone - all nicely presented & friendly service. ☑️ all the boxes.

We enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch at Doffys. Lovely friendly people and always such a fabulous atmosphere. Food is excellent and fresh. We will surely be returning very soon. Thank you Doffys.

Excellent service, good food and at a fair price

Love it. Welcoming and friendly. Best cup of tea in Haverhill.

OUR GO TO PLACE FOR A GREAT STRONG CUP OF TEA (IRISH TEA) AND POACHED EGGS - CANNOT BE BEATEN. WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. TEA ROOM IS CLEAN AND THE STAFF ARE FIRENDLY - WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED.

Lovely people in here. Quality of food is second to none

Lovely cafe, beautiful clean, greeted with amazing smiles, everything a cafe should be and more, im really looking forward to my next visit and maybe trying the food which looked and smells delicious 😋 xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon Tea. amazing treat for a friends birthday. Tea room was very welcoming and warm with a relaxed feel. Service was good. food plentiful and to a High standard. Staff very accommodating and happily made a Gf afternoon tea

Just been in for a sandwich and was really impressed with the quality of the food, nice staff, very friendly and not bad at singing 😁

Went for breakfast and scrambled egg was overdone but great value and such a pretty cafe.

Lovely place to step back in time for cake and tea. We are looking forward to visiting for breakfast. Good value and friendly staff.

I have been to many places for poached eggs but Doffys are by far the best. The staff are friendly, efficient and we was made to feel very welcome. The scones are by far the best and biggest I’ve ever seen and homemade cakes are delicious. We will most definitely be visiting again!

Good food, nice surroundings, can be a bit stuffy when it's busy. But, I am a repeat customer because their food is good value and tasty.

Live local to doffys, but will never set foot in the tea room again, very poor customer service, with rude staff. Poor communication when trying to organise a baby shower, left no choice but to cancel booking 3 days before event. Their loss is another local companies gain.

What a fab little find. Lovely breakfast menu full of light tasty treats. Perfect, and I mean the most perfect, poached eggs ever served on the eggs benedict plate, with the lovely touch of the hollandaise sauce being presented in a small dish rather than slared all over the eggs, allowing me to have just enough to my taste. Good quality salmon too. Croissants to follow were perfectly baked and served with my favourite raspberry jam rather than the ubiquitous strawberry. All in all a perfect breakfast after a very early start on the road. I'd give it 10 stars 🌟🌟 if I could.

My mum is moving to Haverhill, so we spent a few days roaming around Haverhill and came across this place, and so pleased that we did, we both had jacket potatoes that were fully loaded!!! with side salad and crisps with a cracking pot of tea, really well presented and lovely. So next morning we went back for breakfast, thick slice of Granary toast with baked beans and a perfectly cooked poached egg, again with a great pot of tea. Great service, nice friendly staff and very clean. I know my mum will come here often and when I visit her from East Sussex I will be in again.

We went in for a sandwich and a cup of tea for lunch never expecting the size of the sandwiches to be so big and delicious. They were fresh and tasty and prepared perfectly there and then. Tea was in a traditional teapot with loose leaf tea that was very refreshing. We both came out full and didn’t have anything else for the rest of the day. It’s a Tea room to go to instead of the big chains as the service and food are far superior and prepared they and then instead of being prepared elsewhere in a warehouse and being bought in. Can’t put into words how highly I would recommend to friends and family to use this lovely tea room. A credit to the owner and staff.

Love doffys. Food is always excellent quality and staff very friendly

Had a late Friday lunch. My partner had a delicious very well filled egg mayonnaise sandwich and I had a tasty jacket potato. Although they only had white bread for the sandwich and no chilli left for the jacket potato we enjoyed our meals.

What a lovely place for afternoon tea for my grandsons baptism party all dietary requirements catered for the staff where lovely help and friendly highly recommend this tea room

Nice cakes:) spotless room Amazing staff Vintage style Loved it

This was our first trip to Doffy’s but it won’t be the last. The service was friendly as was the atmosphere and the food was delicious. We look forward to becoming regulars!

VERY Good place for a drink and a bite to eat. Always friendly and always good food.

Amazing cup of tea and the poached eggs are something else. Well worth a visit.

Food was amazing 👏 Staff were lovely 😍 will definitely visit again xx

Everything I try to trip them up they are there Best place for food and a cuppa be it tea or coffee

Wheelchair accessible, friendly staff, wonderful scones/cakes!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Went for a late lunch with a couple of friends on Saturday and I honestly cannot recommend Doffy's enough! The atmosphere is amazing, comfortable, warm and welcoming with pieces of decor that'll catch your eye during your visit. The staff were so welcoming and lovely and treated myself and my friends as if we were regulars all the while making sure we had everything we needed. The food was to die for, so hard to find quality egg and soldiers, but can confidently say Doffy's has it down to an art. The cream tea was delightful and the scones were huge! Tea comes by the pot and there's a whole selection of different teas, don't panic though, the staff are happy to help you pick the perfect one. Can't wait to come back!

Beautifully decorated traditional English tea room. The menu has breakfast items, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, cakes, afternoon teas and cream teas as well as a vast selection of drinks.

Have been here several times and the food is always lovely , made fresh and you can definitely tell ! The staff are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble :)

Lovely service would recommend to friends.

Brilliant .. excellent ...very friendly.. Very very delicious food and drinks Very varied menu Waitress Service Extremely Great .. extremely Clean and well set out ...indoor and Outdoor seating Spot on...

After visiting Audley End house and having a dreadful coffee there, we stopped in Harlow and visited Doffy's Tea Room. An excellent traditional pot of tea in a china teapot, with china teacups and faultless service. All at a far cheaper price than the earlier coffee. Highly recommended.

Wonderful cafe with seating outside. Nice staff, great service, delicious cakes and good coffee. Quirky tea room which was a nice treat and the seating area outside was an added bonus

We love Doffy's. Always a warm welcome and they make the best poached eggs on toast!

The best Scones in Haverhill and surrounding. Finest choices of Tea and very good service not just a business but Tea passion behind this Room. Genuine persones running this place.

Staff were lovely, service a little slow and the coffee could be better but delicious cakes

Delicious! We had yummy bacon and scrambled egg sandwiches and a loose leaf tea, it hit the spot and we would definitely go again :)

Popped in for a late lunch of BLT and English Breakfast. Superb food, friendly staff and excellent service. What's not to like?

Best carrot cake we ever had! Sandwiches are huge and the selection of teas is really nice, too. Personally, we have not been impressed with coffee but it's a tea room after all :) I enjoy the décor and staff has always been very pleasant.

Amazing cakes 🍰 and beautiful afternoon teas. Impressive sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Avacado sandwich is my favourite. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Love Doffys!

Fab service value for money friendly staff

Delicious chicken & bacon sandwich with a good choice of teas. Friendly staff & spotlessly clean. Relaxed atmosphere & good value.

When this first appeared it seemed to be very 'twee' , and so it is. Superb afternoon teas are to be had but on this occasion we had breakfast for 4 adults and one child. The food is perfectly cooked and nicely priced. Do not expect sausage egg bacon and beans type breakfast but if you want avocado plus eggs on granary toast. Eggs Benedict on muffins . That sort of thing then this is the place. And the cost for four filling breakfasts plus drinks plus a coke was just over 30, result! But please do not come as I want to make sure a table is free for me :)

Visited our local cafe for a bacon buttie and tea. Wasn’t disappointed, great service,friendly staff and the food was great. Perfect soft tasty bread with plenty of filling. Easily recommend this place to anyone,it won’t disappoint.

We were so pleased to find this beautiful cafe today while we waited for a phone repair in Haverhill. The staff were lovely and the food is fabulous. We will be back!

Stopped in Haverhill on our way and were very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem of a tea room. Highly recommended. Friendly service, large selection of home made cakes, scrumptious sandwiches. What more could you ask for?

Just had our first visit to Doffys tea room. I had eggs benedict, spot on. Eggs were cooked to perfection. Wife had cheese and sweet pickle sandwich, bread was nice and fresh, a nice sandwich. We will definitely come again

I visited doffys lovely little tearoom today for the first time since they have reopened due to lockdown. The whole tearoom was sparkling clean, staff were very friendly and made us feel so welcome and safe with brilliant social distancing measures with the tables spaced...

Absolutely love the cakes from Doffy's. We have been getting regular cake-aways over lockdown. The lemon drizzle, and caramel sponge have been favourites so far. The brownie is not to be missed either!

Would highly recommend. I ordered an afternoon tea for for VE Day during lockdown, which was delivered to me at home. Fantastic service, arrived 15 minutes early. Delicious food, and generous portion. ( Stand my own. )

Beautiful little tea room surprise in The middle of a modern busy high street. Lovely fresh warm scone served with clotted cream and delicious jam on pretty vintage china. Lovely pleasing atmosphere and decor, very clean, excellent coffee and tea. Friendly staff, food and friendly warm service. A great way to rest on a winters day in a lovely warm lovely space out of the cold and. We were well attended to and felt well looked after

Very nice retro service nothing to much trouble for the staff , they were just happy to spend time with a little chat

This is a family run tea room in Haverhill. There are a number of coffee shops with food that comes in plastic bags. Their sandwiches are made order, with a range of breads and an old fashioned dose of love. The cakes are home made...

What a little gem had the bacon and eggs on toast with tea gorgeous. Friendly helpful staff Wil be back soon to sample the cakes. Perfect place for a stop off 🇬🇧👍

Visiting the town and just happened upon this tea shop. Lovely to be able to have a coffee in a non chain location. Loved the decor , service was friendly ,prompt and polite. Menu seemed good but only wanted a drink but did try the...

It my first experience at Doffy's tea room and sadly not the best... arrived at 13:00 to meet a friend for afternoon tea we ordered food waited and waited and waited ...1.5hr passed and then a gent approached us asking us if we could move as they were setting up for a kids birthday... I said no, as we have been waiting for 1.5 hrs and we still don't have our food...the Gent proceeded to finding out where our food was but we still had to wait a further 15 for the food so I won't be returning there sadly. 1.45hr for a sandwich is ridiculous. Very disappointed it was just after 3pm when we left.

Good atmosphere vintage style tea room.

Visited Doffy's with friends. Lovely relaxing environment. Menu has plenty on it and tea list is extensive. We had a selection of sandwiches and cakes which were all fresh and will be visiting again. The decor is beautiful and so much attention to detail.

Lovely atmosphere and services is always with a smile. Food always good too. Often come in with family or friends. My girls love it x

Tea shops do not come much better than this. The service and atmosphere were as if we were in a bye-gone age. The cake was absolutely delicious. I had a generous slice of lemon drizzle cake that was extremely moist and very lemony. Most Highly...

amazing afternoon tea for hubbys 40th

Can't rate this shop any better... The cakes were out of this world, the service was spot on, the drinks made you want more... Well worth the visit

I have to say I love everything about Doffy’s! I don’t get to visit very often, but whenever I visit my friend who lives nearby we always have to come for a delicious treat. Our favourite is the afternoon tea - fantastic value & all the treats are absolutely delicious! The staff are all wonderful, always so friendly & helpful despite how busy they often are. Already looking forward to my next chance to visit!

Love the food, owners are wonderful, remember our preferences and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely very nostalgic, nice freindly staff.

great service very kind. TIPS GIVEN!!

I took my little girl for a treat, she loved sitting on the “pretty pink chair” and choosing a cupcake. The very friendly waitress offered to put my daughter’s juice in a teapot, a very cute idea!

Love it in here, the decor and atmosphere is second to none!!!!!!!

Lovely atmosphere, service very good and scones were delicious. Thank you.

beautiful freshly made sandwhiches and cakes,well worth waiting for!! great staff welcoming and friendly.

Lovely place for afternoon tea or breakfast or lunch as all available all day. They even do a childs afternoon tea which is great and I have never come across this before so full marks to Doffy's

Best tea room in town. Love the atmosphere and people. A compulsory stop after and between shopping.

Visited Doffys a few times now. Staff are friendly and service its quick. Food is delicious and prices are reasonable. Has a lovely atmosphere and is a great place for mums to meet. Breastfeeding friendly too!!

Lovely tea room in Haverhill. Decor perfect for a special tea experience - including tea parties and special occasions. Great range of homemade cakes. Some lovely teas available too. Range of children's beverages available. They also do light snacks and breakfast. We have been made to feel very welcome on every visit.

Very pleasant afternoon tea at reasonable prices. Retro feel to the place and very pleasant, welcoming staff. Very good menu and delicious cakes and scones.

Always good food and lovely Irish tea. New menu now offering more choices. In two sections - the bottom being aimed at people with children as play kitchen in place.

The best smoked salmon sandwiches ... ever !!! The most delicious bread and so nice to have proper tea in a pot. Like stepping back in time !!! Very friendly and helpful staff too.

While visiting a friend who lives in the area, we decided to pop in for a drink. We were not disappointed! Doffy’s is a true gem - beautiful homemade scones & the Irish tea really hit the spot!

Owner was attentive but not intrusive, we were allowed to take our time, to relax and enjoy our cream tea.

Lovely people who service you with a smile. Food is fabulous and we never have a long wait for it to be served. Great place for lunch and cake.

Nice people, comfortable, good tea. Scones could be less crumbly... Tasty though!

What a lovely and beautifully decorated place - I was in awe of all of the interior. We were made to feel really welcome from the beginning. We were waiting for a friend to arrive for a while and then at the end we sat chatting for ages and the staff were not pushy at all. The jacket potato was lovely and it was great value for money. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Leaking tea pot no corned beef long wait. However once tea and alternative sandwich received all OK. Maybe visit again.

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my daughter and grandaughter it's always lovely home baked cakes and scones and fresh made sandwiches highly recommended

Walked in from a very cold and wet dark afternoon into a delightful oasis of hot drinks and delicious cakes. The coffee and walnut cake and the mince pies and brandy cream were superlative and excellent value for money. The decour is a recreation of a bygone era and the staff are really helpful and attentive. A truly pleasant experience.
