Grounds Café Abbey Gardens in St Edmundsbury

Happy to see that this establishment is still here. Visited last year and today while in Bury for the Food & Drink Festival. It was lovely to sit and have 20 mins or so after our journey. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, we had a good mixture: mango milkshake, mint choc chip milkshake, vanilla frappe, white chocolate & matcha iced latte, americano, espresso & tea.

Really helpful staff, accommodating dietry requirements. Great variety of snacks and drinks. Best we have tried in town so far.

Got my order wrong and blamed it on me. Did not even apologise.

Lovely place to stop and sit for a while. Great tea and cake.

Great gluten free ice cream with cone. Lots of care taken to prevent cross contamination. Always friendly service

Loved it here. Very nice place to have a coffee and sit for a while. Very nice and kind staff. Leave them a nice tip.

very nice detox zing here, thanks

Great place to refresh… great ice latte and gelato’s

Cup of tea was good. No sandwiches but they did cake which I didn't try.

Lovely place. Delicious soup of the day (courgette with leeks yum 😋). Great coffee. Great almond brownies. Lovely service. Reasonably priced. Great location. What more could anyone want ☺️

Great little place to visit. Reasonably priced and even offer a little treat for your dog if they've joined you for a visit.

Cheerful staff....Polite....Hot drinks.....Good choices of drink and food.....Excellent 👍

Nice hot tea on a very cold day.Friendly staff.

Beautiful surroundings and very friendly staff. However, they had failed to update the stand which clearly stated the cafe was closed. Coffee good and sandwich tasty but there were no price listings. Needs addressing.

Nice independent coffee shop and very nice friendly staff. Nice little selection of items to purchase for a quiet drink and snack.

So peaceful, listening to the birds they have in the seating area. A lovely place to relax.

Lovely place to take a picnic and enjoy the surroundings.

Very friendly, great location and always willing to refill my water bottle!

Great ice cream but staff is very unfriendly

Had a nice coffee sat outside next to the birds. Lovely gardens are a real asset to the town

Sunshine, Mr Whippy ice cream and lovely surroundings... what's not to like?

Really nice coffee and well priced

Well located in the Abbey Gardens ovf Bury St Edmunds. Drinks and ice creams are amongst the products available. It is next door to an aviary. Shade is available on sunny days.

Friendly staff. Seating can sometimes be a little dirty. Fair prices - see photos The Garden Café is a kiosk situated in the beautiful Abbey Gardens in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. The Café provides refreshment for all tastes; from a cup of tea and a slice of cake whilst you sit and watch the passers-by … to a selection  of goodies for you to have your own picnic sitting amongst the Abbey ruins.

Good coffee at good prices. Would have got top marks except for the disposable cups.

All of the benches have bird poo on them.

A great place to rest however the Cafe is sometimes very busy. Good food.
