Honey + Harvey - Ipswich in Ipswich

I had a pleasant visit when I went for breakfast. I asked to remove and swap some items from the dish and the staff were happy to accommodate. The staff were very friendly and quick at serving. Loved the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Visited on a Wednesday afternoon, on a work lunch break. Lovely large, well set out cafe/restaurant. Ordered at the till, fast service. I went for the avocado and halloumi bagel. The halloumi was battered. £6.95 (Pictured) One of my friends went for the H+H Club sandwich. They put it on gluten free bread for her & assured they’d be no traces of dairy. £9.95 (Pictured) I noticed they also have specials, I’ve added a photo. They have a Boozy Brunch option, which looks great! Self service water, which is a great idea! Nice calm atmosphere on a Wednesday afternoon. Prices about average, although some of the brunches for £15 seemed a tad over priced in my opinion. The cheese scones at the counter looked amazing! Great town centre location. I’ll be returning 😊

Best coffee ive had in a month, better then most bistros I've been in and the service is incredible. I think Ben served me, THE place to bring my next date.

Went for a roast last Sunday. I’m one of those that claims the best roast is always home cooked. But this was without doubt the best roast I’ve eaten out in years. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be going for more in the future and will be highly recommending it. 10/10

Food is tasty, but the restaurant always looks messy and not clean. Tables all stacked up with plates and dirty cups, and often sticky.

Stopped here at the weekend for a quick bite and a drink. Service was really friendly and quick. The croque monsieur really tasty.

Pre-match breakfast, staff were amazing, the food was superb, and the atmosphere was brilliant.

This place is expensive, I place an order for eggs hollondaise it was disgusting. The sourdough bread was like rubber, the poached eggs were mediocre, the frozen spinach and mushrooms weren’t properly defrosted. I thought it would be better, I would not waste my money on them ever again

Breakfast was amazing and really friendly staff Lovely place to go :)

Wonderful friendly welcome and prompt service would highly recommend

Very nice cafe in the centre of town. Good location and nicely put together. Coffee is excellent and although I couldn't get an almond croissant 🥐, a plain croissant was fresh and hit the spot. Good place for a meeting, business or friends.

Very disappointing. Mid-week lunch for two. I ordered the Caesar salad, priced at £10.50 and paid an extra £3.50 for chicken and was served a bowl of bitter lettuce and croutons in a generic dressing with a few slices of chicken on top. No anchovies or parmesan as advertised or any other standard Caesar ingredients. My friend had a sausage bap with chips. Her bap was a large dry white bap and inside were two small round thin sausage patties, barely covering half the bread. Was unable to get the attention of any staff to make them aware or the sub standard food and due to lunchbreak timing's and work commitments was forced to leave without rectifying. Felt like a conveyor belt of people on short lunch breaks and the pay as you order systems leaves little room or time for complaints.

Superb service, and great food and coffee. A guy near me ordered for him and his friend, who was late. When they eventually arrived, the chef cooked him fresh eggs without being asked. My food was brilliant, and the free refills on brunch drinks is a great offer (and clever, as you can only drink so much coffee before you have issues! 😂) The only downside is that the cups, saucers and plates looked a bit greasy. I find overall cleanliness to be a regular issue at ALL of their branches, so it must be something to do with their standard practices rather than any individual employee. Review your cleaning practices if you're reading this!

Even better now, I've found the secret upstairs bit in their Ipswich branch 👀🤫

Crazy expensive.... but edible! Won't be a regular customer!

It's a good cafe in town. Just 2 down side; little pricey and they don't accept cash! Otherwise, food is great and nice modern atmosphere.

There is a lot of potential here but a couple things made our experience forgettable. To start with the positives, beautiful restaurant, clean and modern. Food for the most part was great and the service by the staff was very good. For the not so good, they don’t accept cash, I did pay card but they should accept any form of payment within reason. The bread our breakfasts was served on needed a steak knife to cut through, I went with the eggs and bacon hollandaise which looked like one of their best dishes however, sauce was bland and lacked flavour, disappointing as the sauce is the what it’s all about. Overall me and my partner did enjoy the experience, especially as the barista was highly helpful explaining the coffee menu. Unfortunately I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Went with family for breakfast 1st visit, fairly busy but able to get a seat ok. I had pancakes with bacon and maple sauce and orange juice, daughter had the full English which was big. Good value for money well presented. Only small issues tables not cleared quicker enough for demand

They do a monthly roast dinner. It was fab, I had roast beef and shared dessert. Quick service, beef cooked perfectly.

Nothing in the way of cakes, pastries that are gluten and dairy free. Luke warm coffee, and aircon on too high.

Great service as always from Jasmine and the rest of the team.

Best breakfast anywhere, and really dog friendly. Love the place

I wish I had more to say about this gaff..

A thoroughly forgettable experience. At least 2 lots of music blasting out. Chairs stacked up everywhere. Random boxes on tables. No fresh water. There are lots of good places to get coffee in Ipswich...this isn't one of them.

Shame they don't do coconut milk. Cakes/pastries are pretty expensive.

Really poor service which was disappointing. We were told when we went to order that we needed a table number, which was unclear before. There were no clean tables, but we were assured that our table would be cleared. Someone eventually took the dirty dishes away but the table was not even wiped which meant that we had to eat our delicious but overpriced food amongst the crumbs of other people's meals. The girl at the counter did not tell us about the loyalty card offer either so we missed the opportunity to collect at least 4 stamps. Not recommended.

Excellent Suffolk ham, cheddar cheese melt sandwich.

Really good bacon bap and cup of tea. Perfect for a mid afternoon pick up! Friendly and relaxed service.

Pleasant cafe with good coffee pastries and menu.

Sad to leave a review for honey and Harvey as I normally visit the Woodbridge one which I have always liked. Again companies are being blasé with food and drink and charging ridiculous prices and the food and drink is mediocre. So 4 times I have visited the Ipswich one and ordered chai latte each time warm and you pay £4.50 with soya yes they give you a new one but why not make it hot in the first place. The breakfast my toast was burnt my avocado tasteless, the prices are extortionate for food that isn’t all that

you have to order at the nar, that would be nice to let us know however food was good, cesser salad could be with not coated chicken just grilled chicken , chicken burger was good and in coleslaw too much onion. I would recommend this place, atmosphere was good.

The food was really nice and it would be five stars but it's just a bit pricey! We also were sat next to the chef window and could hear the chef shouting ever so often as it was right next to some of the dining space

Ok food, high prices, awful customer service I've been here a few times now, and it's reasonably consistent. The food ranges from mediocre to good, depending on your luck, but all of it will cost about as much as you could feasibly charge for each thing. The place is already looking a bit grubbier and shabbier than when they opened, but what really lets them down is the customer service. You're quickly told to find a table before coming back to order, which makes you feel like you can't actually look at what you might order first. Today, I ordered a few things. They often bring things over to the table, but I was told to wait to take some of it over. No problem. However, I reached for a tray to help me bring them over (these are stacked within easy reach, like in other cafes) but I was bizarrely and abruptly told off, and told that customers must not use trays. I asked whether they thought it was better that I juggle four separate plates, and they told me that they "weren't insured" for customers to carry trays. You'd think an insurer would prefer that to customers carrying breakable objects, but what do I know? It was frankly odd, both in terms of how rude they were, and how they expect you to psychically deduce the special rules they have just to order some coffee and cake. Honey and Harvey simply isn't so good that they can be unapologetically rude to customers, charge high prices for ok-ish food, and expect people to come back.

Had a problem with a receipt being emailed & the lady couldn’t have been more helpful. Always lovely staff on duty & delicious food/drink too! Definitely recommend supporting this independent rather than the well known chains.

This is the third branch of honey and Harvey, the other two shops are located in the Woodbridge. Honey and Harvey is where I started my journey in speciality coffee way back in 2012, they are the standard by which I set all other speciality coffee shops, and I'm pleased to say that this branch is no different from the other two, the coffee is excellent.

Tasty food and coffee. Service friendly and a nice buzz to the place.

Loved it. Bit busy at the counter as you don't order at table.

I used to love H&H so much, but after too many burnt/weak cappuccinos, a very burnt almond croissant which I was told was “normal,” when I tried to complain, and now today one that had no filling, just the mixture poured over the top (for £3.75, this shouldn’t happen, but someone obviously forgot to cut this one in half and slather on the good stuff before baking - I had it for takeaway or it would have gone back!) I’m going to have to go elsewhere for my coffee and croissant fix. A shame as it was soooo good for a while there, but standards have definitively slipped.

Having visited on two occasions and both times encountering things that aren’t ideal, I have to confess that it sadly doesn’t match up to the standards that the Woodbridge one does. The first visit the coffee was absolutely vile, it was incredibly bitter and tasted like nothing I have tried before - I am usually a fan of a sweeter milder coffee so thought perhaps their coffee was just too strong for me, however on the second visit the coffee was absolutely fine so put the first visit down to a barista issue. The second visit we struggled to find a table that wasn’t still dirty, loaded with dirty plates spillages etc, when we did find a table and ordered the tea came out with a dirty cup and plate, and then the pastries were really dry. It was just disappointing as every visit to the Woodbridge branch always exceeds expectations and we were really happy when the Ipswich one opened. Hopefully, in the future if we do try again the visit may be more positive especially as this branch is still relatively new so these may just be teething problems. Despite the issues we encountered everyone we have spoken to has been very friendly and welcoming.

I absolutely love Honey & Harvey in Melton. However I cannot say the same about Ipswich. The food just isn't up to scratch, we came here two Sunday's in a row and I was not impressed. Food was either too greasy and the Pancakes were cold and hard. I will stick to the Honey & Harvey in Melton, never had any problems there at all.

Was really dirty and everything was sticky. I liked the decor and the selection of food and drink, but wouldn't like to return because of the upkeeps

Food is incredible, staff are lovely. Maybe slightly over priced

I came to H&H Ipswich for breakfast this morning & had to share my review. Everywhere looked beautiful, very clean & tidy. Chefs & food were brilliant. Very professional, helpful staff. Always a great experience 👌

It was ok! My bagel and mocha were both very nice. My partner ordered an eggs benedict and the bread was sopping wet he couldn’t eat half of it. The halloumi fries were really overdone but the chilli jam was tasty. Expect to pay about £20 a head for lunch.

Visited for breakfast on 19 Feb & it was buzzing. In spite of that,ly excellent service & food served quickly. Fantastic menu and top quality food and presentation. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A fabulous place to meet friends as it has a very cosy intimate atmousphere. Lovely to meet for coffee and then go on for lunch. The food was very tasty, my friends were impressed with the halloumi and avocado baps and I enjoyed the croque monsieur. Very brave to open a new place in Ipswich and it made us feel hopeful again. The town was buzzing with dinosaurs and lots of people were about.

I have been there this morning with my friend and we had the most terrible looking bagels..soo disappointed 😞 😠

The cheese scone was delicious! Ordered a bagel with avocado and Halloumi cheese as well which was not too bad but the chili jam was too sweet in my opinion

Food nice, and local, however, grubby, soap pump and bin broken in loo - Low standard of housekeeping all round.

Clean, plenty of space and good coffee

Poor service, overcharged on top of already expensive service. When raised I was told it was correct and a receipt would be sent to our email. I had to email the customer service directly who were able to confirm we were overcharged however were unable to provide a refund. Food was average and cold/luke warm, service is rubbish. Much better at Central Canteen over the road

Breakfast fantastic, pricey, but worth it!

Smashed avocado, bacon, halluomi and poached eggs on toast were tasty, and so was bubble and squeak, but the latter was only hot on the inside. Both latte and hot chocolate were lukewarm on arrival. Soup was copious and tasty, but arrived in a deep plate as opposed to a bowl and cooled very quickly. Service was really fast, with sufficient staff, so no idea why there were problems with food and drink tenperature. Pricy: £72 without tip for 4 mains, a soup, a side and 3 hot drinks. I probably wouldn't go again.

Nice addition to the Ipswich coffee offer, plenty of space inside and service was quick and efficient.

Was quite busy Saturday morning. Nice chocolate and attentive staff. Would love to try some food next time.

Despite a little corporate feel, coffee was excellent, food good and staff attempted to be friends and actually full marks.

Nice place, most expensive cheese scone I have had, but it was huge. Really nice place for a break during Christmas shopping

Really good service Scrambled eggs were excellent and the full English has a more upmarket take to go with the premium price Only marked 4 stars because bacon was overdone but definitely recommend and will be going back

Honey + Harvey is always good. I had a coffee and an egg and sausage bap. Both where excellent. I found somewhere to sit easily.

First visit here, coffee was excellent, lunch was delicious! We will be back!

Visited recently for the first time, and really enjoyed the experience. The service, food and coffee was fine. Nice atmosphere to the place. Worth a visit.

Great coffee and food on offer here, usually with plenty of seating available. Food can be on the pricey side but it’s more than made up for in quality and quantity! Highly recommend the English Breakfast with a Flat White.

Always delicious 😋... not quite the atmosphere as Melton and Woodbridge locations but fine.

Food was good but shocking you would not accept cash? Honey and Harvey not everyone carries bank cards especially the older generation. !

Best brunch place in Ipswich PERIOD shame they allow dogs in the restaurant tho I find that alittle off putting

One of my favourite stops in Ipswich. Special mention to Jacob behind the counter who’s always amazing! :)

The pest pain au chocolat i’ve ever had. Snacks are good. However - im not a fan of the taste of the coffee here, i often dont want to get coffee from here for that reason

Very nice layout and decor. For a fairly large place it feels quite discreet and quiet. Lots of secluded corners. Exceptional food.

Really good service great food and Best Coffee ☕

Friendly & professional staff, great food, big venue as this has an upper floor. Dogs welcome. Note: this venue gets very busy on a weekend so be ready to queue. They do not book tables. Worth the wait & visit

No no no. Very wrong attitude to run a public service. Customer service is unacceptable🧏🧏. Walked in and ordered food and drink in a most polite manner. Sat down, coffee served. they brought card machine that payment was declined. I tried all my cards. Even with pins uncountable times. Then was summoned to the till. Tried again!! then the man said oh I will my other machines. Straight the payment went thru with the other machine. now I have been embrassed, calling me to the till, leaving my hot drink behind. For NO fault of mine. NOT even a word of apology from anyone of them. NOT by mistake word of apology. Back to my table. I requested for a cup of hot water (now cold coffee) nothing came. Nothing. I called on another staff. 2 spoons of hot water was reluctantly DROPPED in my front. (Half milk jug of hot water) with the worst attitude ever. Even after I made mention that I have waited for her colleague to bring the hotwater. No word of apology. By the way, they were not busy at the time. I am SORELY disappointed to say the least. Now I have left the burger half eaten. Coffee not drank. Hot water not touch. I paid £11.50 for a filthy attitude this morning. I am vexed. 1star is the least, that's why it's there. They do not deserve any STAR.🤷🤭🤭

Honey and Harvey are usually pretty solid to be fare, girl who served was smiley and polite, I got sneered at by one of them when I asked for sugar as we were sat out side. Mate of mine got a breakfast bap that looked like it had been put together in McDonalds, large coffee is a regular in any other shop but very good quality coffee.. customer service took abit of hit and so did the wallet.. the woodbridge shop is worth the money..

Best breakfast I have had for a long time .

Lovely team and the best coffee in Ipswich.

Visited Honey and Harvey today for the first time. I ordered a sausage and egg Bap and a latte total price of £11.30 which in my opinion is very expensive. The sausage and egg Bap was very greasy but i must admit the latte was very nice. Customer service was average to be honest, unfortunately i won't be revisiting Honey and Harvey in Ipswich again.

Took my grandson into this restaurant for coffee. Ended up staying for lunch as the food looked so good. He commented that this place had the cleanest toilets he had ever seen. Quick service. Could tell straight away that the food was cooked fresh and made on premises. Had the fish Goujon sandwich, truffle oil and Parmesan fries. My grandson had the best burger I’ve seen and tasted in a long while. Home made coleslaw was awesome the Manager (Shannon) came to the table to ask if we enjoyed the food. We complimented her and her staff on a brilliant lunch and Restaurant. Would highly recommend this place

It wasn't very inviting as some rubbish around the table and table itself had to be cleaned although very few customers have been at the time. We had couple of drinks. Although I love ginger but my drink was horrible. Not sure if I would like to try any food either. Service was good. No cash payments.

The drinks were nice but my biggest Bug bare is being told I can't pay Cash. Its legal tender and I should be able to choose HOW I pay as a paying Customer. It would stop my from Returning to your venue.

Sadly this place has lost it's charm since becoming a chain. The location in Ipswich town has been cheaply refurbished. The food average and overpriced, the cost for breakfast exceeds even London prices. When a brunch place cannot produce a runny yolk of an egg 🚨🚨🚨. 2 * as the coffee remains delicious.

A belter of a breakfast - you pay for the privilege tho (that's code for 'it ain't cheap' !)

Fabulous Eggs Hollandaise on both visits, spinach and ham. Absolutely Fantastic Staff are so helpful and attentive.

Did I get value for money? Yes! Would I visit again? Yes! The most amazing breakfast we have had out anywhere.

Great service and a really lovely ascetic to the place, food was very quick to arrive and staff were super helpful!

Make sure you don't sit near the kitchen area..very noisy. Otherwise good coffee and friendly staff.

Always full and a bit disorganised, may I suggest more staff to cope with numbers. Good quality coffee and cakes

Overpriced for most items on the menu (Burger is at £18?!). Coffee was a real disappointment - watery, burnt and bitter - everything you don’t want to see from a so-called speciality coffee shop. If anything the pancakes we had saved the experience. It’s a shame because H+H in Woodbridge was much better, coffee and food wise.

Good service. I'll ask for my flat white to be hottet next time. The Best almond croissant I have ever had and huge.

First time in here, very impressed, plenty of food and drink choices

Good selection of food, friendly staff and the atmosphere is calming. Price is on the slight moderate price tag but the quality you could say balances it out.

Love this place. The food is exquisite and not too expensive. I highly recommend the full English!

Myself and my partner went here Saturday night. We heard great things about their coffee. The machine was turned off which wasn’t great as my partner was desperate to try the coffee. A fantastic member of staff (Lee) turned the coffee machine on and brought down a Latte which truly was made for the Gods. Lee told us all about the Brazilian/Ethiopian blend and is a great ambassador for your company. Your coffee is your Gold so I would say keep it going and don’t turn it off. I had a glass of wine and my partner had the latte.

The best coffee in Ipswich and fantastic food, it's a little on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for.

Fantastic food and drinks, waiters good too… cashier was rather sharp with customers in front of us

Breakfast to die for! Lovely place that the town so desperately needed.

It was OK. Probably not one I would recommend to friends...

Stopped for some cakes and a cocktail, tasted great! A nice addition to Ipswich town centre

After enjoying the coffee at the Woodbridge branch when I used to work in Woodbridge, I was really happy to see an H&H branch in Ipswich. The standards have definitely remained as high as ever - excellent coffee and incredibly delicious food. I've always been served quickly and a smile on the face on everyone. Table service when you're having your order in is also nice. Definitely going to be frequenting there more often!

Being a regular visitor to the Melton branch, I was really excited to find out H+H were opening in Ipswich. I often work from coffee shops so took my laptop in with me to enjoy some lunch and a coffee, but there were no tables free on arrival except low sofas, so I had to wait for one. A staff member (assume manager) was using the only table that would have been suitable, which was a bit disappointing for any customers looking for a table for food, and potentially walking out because of it. I eventually got a table and sat to drink my coffee only to spend a further 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to connect to the open Wi-Fi network. I eventually gave up, didn’t bother buying lunch as it would have been unproductive and a further waste of my time, and went elsewhere. Coffee was good as expected though.

It was ok. We went here during the evening as it was a nice surprise that they remained open to 11pm on Friday and Saturday. We went here to try some cocktails but they were not to standard particularly for the prices we were paying. My friend had ordered a strawberry daiquiri and it tasted ridiculously strong that it had defeated the objective of tasting like strawberry at all. The music was off-putting considering we were the only people sitting at the back of the space also. I wouldn't mind if it was background but it seemed to increase the longer we were sitting there. Despite the beautiful decor, it didn't hit the mark unfortunately. Hopefully, things will improve as time goes on. I'm happy to come back.

Really busy on Sunday morning, had to wait for a table. Good coffee but everything is desperately expensive !
