Juniper Barn Rendham Limited in Suffolk Coastal - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Not been there before but decided to pop in for lunch, mainly as it’s dog friendly. What a great place! A lovely old barn with a garden (dogs allowed in both). The staff were friendly and the food was very special. I had poached eggs on toast with bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the whole plate was delicious. My husband had pork 3 ways on toast which came with a little pot of olives and he said the same. It was by far the best food that we’ve had around here. Not the cheapest but the quality of the food definitely warranted that bit extra.

Found the service and food was excellent.

Wonderful setting Fabulous friendly staff But the food is totally exceptional….

Hidden Gem now a new village location serving a interesting selection of breakfasts

New management, very helpful staff and owner run. Deli, Cafe and eats.. Popped in late so will update on my next visit with more time to look around. Outdoor area and Sourdough bread for sale! Struggled with options for our Vegan but did have an Oat latte.

Biggest scones I've ever seen! Served warm too. Delicious with a pot of earl grey tea.

My wife and I had breakfast at Juniper Barn along with our small dog. My wife had the avocado, bacon and chilli jam sandwich. It tasted superb and was an excellent portion. I had the Suffolk hodge podge which goes down as one of the best breakfasts ever. And our dog, she had a sausage. Thank you to everyone at Juniper Barn. The service and food was outstanding.

Food was ok.never seen an English breakfast blowtorched before coming here or served with watercress& olive oil drizzled on it.staff were lovely

I enjoyed a really nice breakfast there. Great food and atmosphere.

Excellent little cafe/restaurant. Particularly nice that you can see the chef preparing stuff

Delicious breakfast, great to watch the chef preparing and cooking everything. Beautifully clean and welcoming, even on a very wet morning. Well worth another visit.

We had a terrific lunch, I had a superb ploughman’s and my wife had a chicken Caesar salad. After the lunch I attended the bee keeping session, this was well presented and I learned so much about beekeeping. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Great place to visit with lovely staff. Nice cakes and dog friendly too. Recommended to visit.

Stopped here for lunch whilst on a bike ride Lovely food and good value, service was very good and staff friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Juniper Barn will now be my favorite place to go for a bite to eat or just some lovely produce. Fabulous food , in fact on another level for flavour and presentation, absolutely delicious. The staff were all super friendly . Try it you won’t be disappointed .

Absolutely 10/10 brekky, easily up there with the best I have had in my life! Great service, friendly staff, dog friendly, amazing, so glad we found Juniper Barn whilst staying in the area, do not hesitate to visit.

Busy, and for good reasons.... High quality and generous breakfast. Great staff and lovely atmosphere.

Appalling customer service, I booked a family lunch for my mother's 84th birthday a week in advance. I got a phone call 40 mins before our Booking to be told they would be closed for work to be done, leaving me hardly any time at all to find somewhere else with space for five and a very disappointed mum. Could they not have called first thing in the morning? Extremely annoyed.

I have now found my favourite Cafe! We made our first visit earlier today and had the most amazing breakfast, it was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The coffee was also excellent. The Cafe has a small deli where you can purchase items including the brilliant Harvey's bread. The Barn was welcoming and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We shall definitely be back.

What a find! Absolutely top quality food - all made here on the premises. We enjoyed a lunch bowl of a delicious frittata and salad, and a sausage roll, followed by the most wonderful treacle tart. Coffee was top notch too. There also a small shop stocking staples such as bread, cheese, deli meats etc. A warm and friendly welcome, and a beautiful beamed building. Well worth a visit.

10/10 we visited on a very cold and rainy day, lovely warm welcome by staff and also complimented by a log burner, perfect for a chilly day. Lunch was perfect, very much looking forward to going back .

Had breakfast here, disappointed in the poached eggs, you could have played golf with them

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The breakfast hash was delicious and had the perfect quantities of all the right things. I would also highly recommend the cheese scone. The menu had a great offering, with lots of different options. The service was perfect, as were the tea’s and coffee. We can’t wait to go back to try some of the lunch options.

Warm welcome from the team today for myself and my friend with her dog Jennie. Great friendly warm place with great food and coffee. I will certainly be back soon.

First time here but will definitely be back!! Lovely atmosphere! Fantastic menu, good ingredients, fresh produce and not too expensive. The waitress was a hit with our little dog after he was offered treats and water. Very good service. This place is our new favourite 😄👍🏼✨

Reopened. Great friendly staff and all superb food well worth a visit.

Truly scrumptious amazing breakfast, our granddaughter asked the chef for pancakes which were not on the menu and his response was, of course, what would you like with them! Best breakfast my husband have ever had (eggs hollandaise with pulled ham) Thank you

We went to the newly re-opened Juniper Barn with high expectations...and our are experience exceeded even these expectations! Mark & Lucy have a fabulous tantalising menu and I wanted to try them all ...so I'll have to keep going back. The quality, presentation and quantity of my chosen dish was amazing ...loved it!

Wanted a brunch venue for 9 people, at a central place to all of us. Found Juniper Barn on line, and it did not disappoint. Great food, great venue, friendly staff and dog friendly was a bonus. We will be back.

Juniper Barn has reopened early in 2024 under new management. It combines a café with a small shop selling produce, baked goods and cheese. The menu includes a number of all-day breakfast options plus some other hot and cold dishes. It is not your average café fare, and it could be described as 'fussy'. We had a breakfast 'Hodgepodge' which comprised a bowl of chopped-up bacon, sausage, black pudding etc., topped with a fried egg. It was tasty but priced comparably with a typical 'full English'. There were few other items that sounded appealing, so I don't think we will return.

High quality cafe. Scotch eggs and sausage rolls are very good, as was the big prosciutto and sun-dried tomato sandwich

BEST EGGS BENEDICT I've ever had. Local produce served up brilliantly. This is a must if you are in the area. Can't beat it, thank you very much.

Very good selection of breakfasts at a reasonable price . Nice warm wood burner going 🔥and a friendly atmosphere. If your going latter in the day looks like a nice selection of cakes also

Simply perfect breakfast. Fresh tasting and large portions with a proper pot of tea. Thanks chef & team 👍

A lovely little cafe with kind and polite staff. Excellent food as well, thank you.

So pleased this lovely cafe has reopened! Wonderful full English and meat-free “Allotment” breakfast - delicious and cooked promptly. Excellent pot of tea and great service. We will be back!

💥Please be aware that the cafe is permanently CLOSED at the moment ! 💥 The owners ( if they still bother reading these reviews 😳) could do well by editing their listing here, it would save a lot of people time and effort of parking up and arriving thinking they can have a drink and a bite to eat. PLEASE !

Do not bother coming to juniper barn's. It has been closed for months, with no sign of it being open Sadly.

The Google map sent us to the wrong location. We persisted and found the cafe which was due to be open at 10am. After waiting until 10:10 we decided to give it a miss. This is the second time we have tried to use the cafe and it has been closed, although open according to signs and Google. Sadly due to the inconsistency and unreliability of opening times we feel we will not return again. Sorry 😞

Horrendously overpriced, half the menu was unavailable , and we were served by a gruff bloke who literally had no idea of customer service, and the place is advertised as a shop as well there's nothing in it! We visited last year when it was lovely, full of customers great shop and wonderful owners and staff really friendly Definitely one to avoid at all costs !! 😬😬😳

My wife and I drove past during a day out and thought we'd pop in as it looked nice from the outside. We stood waiting for someone to seat us for a while. There was only 1 other table in use, a lady was cooking in the kitchen and another woman with her back to us at a computer (we later found out she was the owner) When we were finally seated we were given dirty menu's covered in food and pen and were told half the stuff on there wasn't available. We both ordered a full english which had 1 slice of toast, 1 egg, some extremely undercooked bacon but incinerated sausages and a tiny portion of beans and mushrooms, for almost £10 I was actually expecting a full english! Our food arrived before our drinks as the woman who took our order (same woman at the computer) spent so long talking to a couple and fussing their dog that she forgot to do our drinks. At one point a man came in with a load of shopping in tesco bags, the lady put the bread and some vegetables on the display at the front of the cafe. Hang on a minute, the menu says the bread is Artisan?! It came from tesco bakery! A little while later we heard the lady talking to people about how she grows her own vegetables (the ones from tesco) My wife and I did stay longer than we would have liked to simply because we couldn't quite believe the behaviour. It was strangely entertaining. The cafe is in a lovely setting and has so much potential if it was staffed and ran correctly but this lady seems to be fooling her customers into believing this place is something it's not.

We had a wonderful lunch here yesterday and returned today to the fairy garden activity - absolutely brilliant. There was so much for the children to do, everyone was so friendly and engaging; the food that was included was delicious. I'd definitely recommend the activities and the food - we will certainly be returning ☺️

Since a change of ownership it seems that this café is rarely open. What a shame for the village.

Have not visited this place since under new ownership. Why I am asked to give a review is beyond me. All I know is , through local press , the owner owes a lot of people a lot of money and is being taking to court. . This is not from me. It is from angliain times newspaper a few months ago. . Don’t shoot the messenger

Tried to stop here for coffee mid-cycle ride, only to find it inexplicably closed. Very disappointing as have visited several times before and liked it very much. Not the first time this has happened 😐

Greeted warmly by staff who throughout were friendly and attentive. They were very welcoming to our lab who loved the attention. Cooked Brekky was delicious which we had on the terrace. Toilet was spotless. Would definitely return.

What a wonderful find! Staff amazing! Breakfast amazing! Dog friendly and most welcoming! Highly recommend!

Stopped off with a friend to have some breakfast. Found this lovely place on google and thought we’d try it! It did not disappoint. Lovely cooked breakfast and coffee. Great menu and choice of drinks. Idyllic setting and beautiful interior with the choice to sit outside also. Would highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of dining at Juniper Barn for brunch/lunch. We would highly recommend both the vegetarian platter and the full English. Super accommodating. Dog friendly inside and out! Lovely atmosphere throughout from the shop to the open plan kitchen. Wonderful family/friendly atmosphere.

If you search through at first it appears either to be open all the time or as six people said yesterday that they had found that it was open Tuesday to Saturday from the internet so had turned up on Tuesday. Two were walkers and four were cyclists. A chalkboard outside said that it was open from Wednesday to Saturday. As it's a quiet location and reasonably out of the way, if six people were disappointed yesterday, how many others have been disappointed before and unlikely to return. It was more of an effort for the walkers than the cyclists who decamped to Saxmundham. The website needs updating

Really friendly and beautiful space with local shop and paintings on the wall. Good coffee and stunning scones! Cosy with a real fire too. Highly recommended

We had a most enjoyable visit to Juniper Barns Cafe last Friday. The shakshuka was delicious and the ploughmans platter more than enough for two people. A charming shop including some stunning crocus plants for sale. Being dog friendly was a big plus as were the homemade takeaway sausage rolls. Very friendly and cheerful staff and we will be back. Thank you.

Disappointing visit today, we didn't get a warm welcome as we would have enjoyed in the past. I asked for some cake to be told sorry we have no cake, just cheese scones, fruit scones or a sausage roll. How do you run a coffee shop with no cake? We Settled for a latte and a cheese scone each , the latte was luke warm and the scone was warmed in the microwave so it fell apart when I tried to butter it with the miniscule knob of fridge cold butter provided. No board up to show what coffees are avaliable now or how much they cost. The menu only mentioned the cooked food so no idea what else they offered, teacakes etc, you had to catch her eye to ask, I wanted a second coffee but had to go the the counter to ask as no one came round to clear plates and ask if we wanted anything else. The shop was slightly better stocked this time but still very lacking on the fresh chilled food we used to be able to buy. All in all a very disappointing visit and I am afraid I won't be back.

Juniper Barn has changed hands and sadly things seem to have gone downhill. The menu gives very little information so if you want to know what comes with a Full English Breakfast you have to ask and are then told you can also add 2 additional items to your breakfast included in the price but even with that it is not a very "Full" english it is actually rather small and stingy. Also if you want it Gluten Free you need to order in advance so no impromptu breakfasts for Coeliacs! On my last visit none of the staff were wearing masks so they do not seem to have any desire to protect themselves or their customers, the owner spent a long time making a fuss of another tables dog and then went and took plates of food to the table - no hand washing inbetween. When I went to the till to pay for our meals I had to wait for nearly 5 minutes before I was acknowledged even though they were not busy, in fact staff were chatting (and making a fuss of the dog) rather than taking my payment. Even when I was acknowledged I did not receive an apology for keeping me waiting. This venue has so much potential and maybe my recent visits (I have been there more than once this month) have caught them at a bad time but sadly I don't think I will be back in a hurry.

We stopped for lunch at the Juniper Barn during lockdown in April 2021. There are a few outdoor tables in an attractive garden at the rear. Service is very friendly and the food is good quality. I recall the portions being a bit small and still being slightly hungry afterwards. There is a small deli/shop as well as the cafe.

Excellent in every way! Very friendly and efficient staff who served up delicious food and drinks in a cordial manner. Both prepared to order so this is not fast food that gets lobbed out, so sit down, relax and use the time to chat. The atmosphere lends itself to this! We will be back soon!

An absolurely charming venue & a truly great experience. Excellent choices of food available, very well cooked & lovely staff. Very well done

I've lived in Norfolk for more than 30 years, but still have the urge to return to Suffolk. Juniper Barn is one good reason, and nearby White House Farm another. Although Rendham is a small village, Juniper Barn is a busy cafe with a friendly team, serving great coffee and offering a wide choice of cake. My only disappointment was that while my coffee & cake was excellent, my friend's eggs benedict looked even better. I'll be back to try that really soon!

Lovely cafe and such nice service from caring staff

Amazing food and friendly staff. will deffinately be returning.

We went there for a breakfast order two cappuccino they were cold looked at the menu why would you put avocado on a fried breakfast the choice was poor didn’t order any food payed for the coffee’s went into Saxmundham and had a lovely proper breakfast very disappointed.

Had a lovely breakfast at Juniper Barn a couple of weeks ago, and my folks brought me some coffee from these guys as well, and that is just as great, thanks

A real treat! Great food, friendly, attentive service lovely atmosphere in the barn or on the patio. I'll buy a card from the shop, write to my Auntie over a cup of "Katie's" coffee and buy some eggs and vegetables from the store. Definitely worth a visit!

We went for impromptu breakfast today and what a good decision. The sky was blue, breakfast was delicious and service friendly and welcoming. We also bought some local dessert wine before enjoying the rest of the day.

Lovely little spot. Fantastic gluten free bread (coeliac customer said it was the best cheese on toast she’d ever had), as well as lots of other delightful dishes on the menu, and a really well stocked farm shop. The shop has everything you’d need to stock up a holiday cottage including fresh items, beer and wine. Ideal!

Staying locally we popped in for breakfast & we're not disappointed as it was delicious & can especially recommend the sausages! Hot coffee & nice OJ...even left with a packet of coffee to take home, accidentally left my hat on the back of my chair...

Good food, wonderful welcome, relaxed atmosphere. Everything you could ask for and more. Katie & Geoffrey go the extra mile to provide an excellent service to the community and visitors alike.

This lovely cafe and community shop offers excellent food and service. Very impressed with the quality of the cakes and thanks to the owner for chasing us down the road with my rucksack which I had inadvertently left behind.

We booked here last minute and it is a delightful place. Attentive service, excellent local Suffolk produce and delicious food overall. We would highly recommend the full English breakfast (veg and non veg) as well as the Shakshuka. The desserts were amazing - especially the...

Our second visit to the Barn - the first to pickup some provisions which included flavourome locally produced trulytraceable pies (one venison, one cheese) and a great selection of fruit & vegetables (plus some cake!) then our tasty brunch today. We felt very Covid safe...

Delicious 😋 was driving through the area and stumbled across this one. Great food and great service would definitely go again when I’m next passing through

Really enjoyed Breakfast at this little place. Good options for Vegetarians. Will definitely return.

Lovely little place, friendly & homely, excellent service and lovely food, especially lovely cake!! A lovely little find after a short walk about one & a half miles from Carlton Meres caravan park.Lovely farm shop with food, gifts & goodies. So nice we visited twice...

Very pleasant, but our young waitress obviouly had no training and a short memory ! Food was nice, but not large portions. My salad had nothing fresh except some rather tough green beans. Won't be returning.

Excellent service, amazing food and very well stocked shop! We booked for brunch which was very easy and the fact that we could take the dogs along was a bonus. The staff were very welcoming and the menu is great, with lots of delicious veggie...

Such a warm welcome Food is Excellent Choice is amazing Beautiful surroundings Good Parking Dogs and children welcome

Juniper Barn is now a well stocked village shop – full of the most delicious fruit, veg and other interesting sundries as well as a range of the most delicious cakes and savories that we enjoy so much. Arriving, by chance, we were thrilled to...

Charming B&B in a converted barn attic on Church Farm, in a most picturesque village. As an architect/interior designer couple, we have enjoyed every loving detail of the refurbishement. The Cafe/Bar, with fireplace and bookstall, let alone delicious country menu, is delightful.

so welcoming a great breakfast cooked to a tee, with an orange juice. A fantastic coffee too , which you can buy the beans to take home [roasted locally in Halesworth]

Good coffee, good food and a nice friendly atmosphere.

The best omelette for miles nothing is too much trouble for them !! The food and owners are very special 👌they also bake the best cakes 🥰

The food was excellent as is the barn and the service. The all day breakfast is made up of quality ingredients, then you get the outstanding Stokes Sauces to add to the experience. Brilliant

This place really is a little gem. I can certainly reccommend visiting if you are in the area. I came here for lunch with a friend & thought it's a place my husband would probably like. I wasn't wrong. He was as impressed as I...

Owners Geoffrey and Katie welcomed us like old friends into their wonderful cafe. They chatted to us and made sure we were comfortable. We watched Katie and the team prepare our breakfasts. Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon was light, delicate, and well balanced. Very friendly place with delicious food cooked and served by people who clearly love what they're doing.

A perfect end to our Suffolk holiday. We were on our way home back to Essex and stopped here for lunch. The staff were incredibly welcoming and flexible when it came to meal choices for our baby. The menu was very enticing with an array of good options. The food itself was delicious and noticeably fresh with great tasting local ingredients. We followed up our mains with an equally delicious cake. Coming home from holiday is normally a sad thing, but our experience here changed our mood completely thanks to a wonderful experience.

Stayed near by and breakfast here was a great choice. Full English and Croissant with butter and jam. Absolutely delicious. Sat outside to make most of the sun. This place also has a little shop. Lovely place and great service too.

Delicious home-cooked food and really nice staff. The salads, burgers and Suffolk platter were fab.

Lovely little cafe with indoor and peaceful outdoor seating. Very friendly people running it. Best of all delicious food! Highly recommend and will go again. Thankyou.

We regularly visit Juniper Barn with our friends and dogs, for a great breakfast, good variety of food and drinks, lovely location and staff, always happy and willing to serve.

We stopped off here for drinks on the way to the beach and the staff were so lovely and friendly. Would definitely try breakfast here next time we are in the area!

Once considered it worth the drive, but the past two visits have been disappointing - a long wait for the food (breakfast), and then when it came, the bacon and black pudding were cooked to a frazzle. Seeing the bacon go in to the oven to be kept warm is never good. The owners are not as much in evidence as they once were, and staff often seem to be new and learning the ropes (taking orders and cooking in the kitchen in full view).

Very friendly, great all day breakfast! Definitely worth a visit

We were in the area for a wedding, were desperate for a coffee and within minutes the Juniper Barn appeared at the roadside. We were warmly welcomed and within minutes were sitting down to delicious coffee and cake. The staff were interested to hear why we were in the area and provided us with helpful information re wedding venue and other useful help. We will definitely return another day and can recommend this establishment to all.

We joined our daughter who was staying in the farm house for breakfast twice! and it was fabulous. Every village should have a cafe like this, friendly efficient service and great food. This cafe also houses the local shop and a gallery for local artists, as has been said before a little gem.

Great lunch at Juniper Barn. Such a lovely place with excellent local food and friendly staff. Very enjoyable lunch and reasonably priced.

Stopped off here for lunch and what a find! Lovely people and excellent food. Well worth a visit. Breakfast til 3pm you won't find that anywhere else in Suffolk!

We had a small meeting at the Juniper Barn and the owners, who were former educators, couldn't have done more to make us feel at home and their hospitality was first class. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Juniper Barn. Lovely barn conversion. The pork and apple burger was delicious - the fresh asparagus on top was a really nice touch. Dog friendly too which was great. Will definitely visit again!

We were in Suffolk looking at houses and stopped at Juniper Barn for lunch. A really lovely setting, delicious food and extremely friendly staff. We were in a bit of a rush between house viewings so didn’t stay very long, but will definitely return. As we went to pay the card machine went down and we had no cash with us. We returned and settled our bill after the house viewing. The owner asked how the viewing went and it was just a really nice experience.

We came for breakfast, it was very good. We sat in the garden in the warm Suffolk sunshine, listening to the silence, very relaxing. We had the full English, I had the veggie full English. Our food was well cooked and nicely presented. Large pots of tea with more than enough milk. The service was friendly and efficient. Very reasonably priced, a good choice of menu. The barn is also the village shop. Plenty of free parking and clean toilets. Recommended
