No 5 in St Edmundsbury

Great food and excellent cooking. Ingredients were superb. Very nice staff, most welcoming. Good service. Will certainly go again.

Usually visit for coffee but thought we'd try the food out. Staff insisted on making us wait by the door in the way of everyone else whilst they wiped a table. After seating us we ordered at the till and coffees and food arrived reasonably quickly. However for the price you don't get much food on your plate at all and ingredients are pretty basic, if well cooked. Over £30 for lunch and coffees for two seemed very steep to say it was nothing special and my husband left hungry. The real issue was after insisting on seating us themselves, before we'd even finished our coffees, they made us move so they could push tables together for a party of four. We will not we returning, I'm sure Bury has plenty of other places for lunch that offer a better deal and customer service.

Greeted by friendly waitress. Although very busy we felt as if they were trying to accommodate us as quickly as possible without sacrificing hygiene or politeness.Fantastic scotch egg and Portuguese tarts with lovely coffees. Will be back

We could not have had a warmer and friendlier welcome on arrival and this was backed up by amazing service throughout. We enjoyed lunch, coffee and cake. The food was delicious and the coffee was excellent. We sat in the window in comfy armchairs watching the world go by and enjoying the beautiful view of the historic abbey. We will definitely be returning

The service was really poor. The food was fine- when it came. Two sausage rolls took 24 minutes to arrive. We had to ask where there were and were told they took six minutes to do. Seven minutes later they arrived. What does that say about the service?

Absolute favourite cafe in Bury St Edmunds for delicious food with superb gluten free options and wonderful friendly staff. Always have a lovely experience here. Comfortable and stylish decor and beautifully dog friendly. Have brought several of my friends here now too and they love it too! Thank you for being such a consistent and welcoming establishment. See you again soon!

Lovely cafe bar. Had delicious wine and cheese scone for lunch then went back for breakfast the following day. Nice atmosphere and tasty food. Highly recommended.

Lovely place for breakfast 😃 only dropped one for cold tomatoes. Will definitely go back because it was fresh delicious and lovely coffee. Staff were friendly and lucky we got there for opening time because within 15 mins it was full.

What a beautiful spot to sit outside on a sunny October day. Very friendly staff and a good choice of drinks and cakes. Their gluten free carrot cake was fabulous. Lovely to have carafes of water available on such a warm day too. It had a constant stream of customers, and we were not surprised as it’s such a good find.

Beautiful spot - a posh part of town. A little difficult to park but worth it as the food was presented carefully with thought. Food and cakes are of a high standard. Fresh produce. And staff are delightful. Great seating in and out of the quaint tasteful shop. Opposite a lovely park and square. Aovely entrance with sunflowers adorning the door. Quirky signs. O lu disadvantage for people with walking issues or disabilities is getting to the toilets down some stairs. Definitely recommend although abit pricey.

Found this lovely place. Come for dreakfast on a Saturday morning. Staff are very polite the food is great. Must try the eggs benidicked

Very popular little place, we waited for a table for a few minutes. Service was good and the food very nice, if not a tad more expensive than some of the local cafes - £10 for an avocado wrap, £9.50 for a salmon bagel. Overall a good experience

Very overpriced For what you get - £10.95 for one piece of soggy toast with a thin topping of pesto and Mozza, with 3 tomatoes, and 3 springs of something that tasted like the weeds in my garden ! However avocado bacon wrap very good...

Family plus dog visited for brunch. Excellent location and couldn’t have been made more welcome. Food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Thank you!

Very friendly service, delicious scotch egg and coffee and orange cake. Nicely presented, good quality home made food.

Lovely place to eat, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Reasonable prices. Our party of 4 had a sausage roll, a scotch egg, two bacon rolls and 3 lattes and a cappuccino. It was delivered to our table promptly and was absolutely delicious. Nice place,...

Regular coffee stop when in Bury St Edmunds, great staff and good coffee, food is pretty good but sadly cake doesn’t seem to be as great as it was a while ago. Worth a stop

Popped in for a late lunch on Sunday, had the scotch egg which was delicious, staff are pet friendly and accommodating, ordered my dog a couple of rashers of bacon, even bought a dog blanket for her, ordered a pot of tea for myself and...

Came here for breakfast because it looked so inviting and we were glad we did! We had coffees, breakfasts, and shared a scone. All was lovely, clearly homemade, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Looking forward to coming back!

Oh my goodness, how good are their fruit scones? Well, I haven't finished my scone yet but I've reached for TripAdvisor in order to post a review. Baked perfectly, not too crumbly with plenty of fruit. When I saw the size I thought I'd never...

I'd heard good things about No. 5 and found them all to be true. We were quickly seated with menus listing lots of lovely things and chose fresh scones & tea for two... but declined the clotted cream and its extra calories! Soon the huge...

The coffee is very bitter and has been the last two times I visited. In fact I left it, when you have an Americano, just plain black coffee, it’s easy to taste quality, and I am sorry but coffee not good here

Hubby and I Popped in for a coffee and slice of something nice... Was not disappointed as the cakes are probably the best I have had in a long time and the service was friendly and fast for such a busy place..

Great coffee. Fantastic location with an ever changing view of the people walking up the busiest street in Bury and the always beautiful Angel Hill and the Abbey gate. Lovely in summer when you can sit outside. All the food I've tried has been really...

I was keen to visit No5 because of the aviation theme on that basis I wasn't let down, loved the decor and the aviation quirks. The welcome was lovely and our order taken swiftly then sadly it all went a bit awry, it was incredibly...

Hot Chocolate to die for! Also enjoyed a scotch egg and fruit scone! Can’t wait to return! We always forget about this lovely little cafe, not anymore.

We are regular customers and love this place. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The coffee is great. We normally just go for coffee and maybe a pastry or bagel - everything we've had has been really good. You can sit outside (if you're...

We’ve been here a few times now, friendly welcoming staff, the food and coffee has been excellent. The guy who I think owns it is incredibly friendly, had the sweet chilli chicken wrap which was tremendous. My wife had smoked salmon bagel which was lovely...

The location, staff, and especially the food are all top rate. Been there a handful of times and it's consistently great!

Waited at the door, as per sign, for about a minute before being shown to a table. Given a menu and explanation that orders are made at the counter. Beloved had a cappuccino and I had an Americano. We shared a slice of coffee and...

18 different bottles on offer so no lack of choice. Pretty quiet this afternoon so a choice of tables overlooking the abbey gardens. Great spot !

Stopped in town for some brunch on the Saturday of the jubilee BH weekend, despite being busy we were quickly offered a table. Furniture is mainly up cycled aviation related which adds to the charm! We opted for some brunch going for the Salmon Bagel...

First of all, congratulations for featuring in a recent Good Food Guide newsletter as one of many places to visit in Bury St Edmunds. Lovely coffee and a great place to watch the world go by.

My family popped in for a snack and the man serving was quite creepy towards my wife. Scones dry and tasteless. Coffee was ok but over priced. The place seemed quite clicks.

My first visit here to Bury St Edmonds for the weekend and dropped in for a quick takeaway tea and sausage roll - melt in the mouth pastry and tasty, perfectly seasoned sausage meat. This deliciousness ensured I returned next morning with 3 friends for...

My friend and I recovered from our long journey in this lovely coffee shop which has a great selection of homemade cakes, and lovely staff (who were incredibly helpful and charged my phone so I could get home!). I love the Aviation theme, and the...

Couldn’t believe that at 1130 on a Monday there was no table available. We regularly visit so were happy to wait & then had a fabulous lunch. My wife had the home made Leek & Potato soup with sour dough & I had the fabulous...

I visit quite regularly with our nonagenarian veteran and others. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and hot drinks. Tanya always makes our friend feel special and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend and will be back :)

Never got to try the delicious looking cakes, so cannot review the food/drinks, because we left after 10 mins, whilst 2 female members of staff with miserable looking faces, looked directly at us, and continued to dry forks and ignore us, no acknowledgement at all,...

How far it's fallen from since it was the Scandinavian House. My wife and I went for a light lunch; in her case, a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. To be fair, we didn't have to wait long for service, as we had timed...

Met family for Sunday brunch, ate v good eggs Benedict, drank tasty coffee, reasonable price, cheerful staff even though v busy. I would recommend and revisit

Cute little coffee shop at the bottom of Angel Hill looking onto the Angel Square, the Abbeygate and the Abbey gardens beyond. Some seating at the entrance, some up a few steps inside and some outside in the Square. Eclectic seating - either bus or...

Went in....waited....waited some more......could see the staff yaking in the kitchen....queue getting longer behind me....waited some more - gave up in the end

Perfect experience with wonderful food, friendly atmosphere and staff were amazing 👏 We will most definitely be back!

Went for a first visit today and had been wanting to go for a while. Sadly disappointed. We all had cheese scones and they were very dry. We did point this out and were quickly offered another option, sadly sweet choices. We all felt it...

Brilliantly situated wine bar and reasonable quality wine at reasonable prices. Service was quick and efficient. Well-recommended.

We discovered this coffee shop a while ago and find ourselves going back for good coffee and the best bacon roll in town. Pastries and cakes are great too. This weekend we were (unusually) in town in the late afternoon and decided that a glass...

Popped in on a Saturday afternoon.Lovely coffee, friendly staff and a great location. Would recommend and will definitely be back

I was visiting Bury today and popped in for a quick cup of tea before visiting the Cathedral. I was blown away by how friendly and welcoming the manager was. He quickly made me feel at ease, explained the menu etc. I could hear him...

Great little coffee and snack place. Undoubtedly the best bacon roll in town. A regular haunt. Potato salad with smoked salmon - divine for £10:50

Wonderful quaint wine and coffee bar. My 2 favourite things in 1! Service was fantastic lovely informative guy served us, he was very passionate about his job. Lovely cake even better wine. Nothing was too much trouble we even stayed past closing with no grumbling....

Lovely place for breakfast. We had croissants and tea cakes which were delicious. Great service and lovely place to sit. Highly recommended.

Absolute gem fantastic food a personal service. Had a wonderful freshly cooked brunch. Loved the Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls followed by top Merlot. Lovely experience and such a friendly host, thank you Charlie and the team👍😎

We came for brunch and left full and happy! Couldn’t fault the food or the service - I asked for poached eggs and avocado on toast without the bacon and was immediately offered tomatoes as a replacement which were delicious. We ate outside on Angel...

It was the aray of cakes that drew us in. My husband enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake with his coffee and I enjoyed the berry smoothie Charlie made - thank you. Tables were cleaned between guests.

Visited today with some colleagues for a morning boost , we were not disappointed ! . I’m not a avid coffee drinker and am not going to sit here and say it had nutty aromas and talk about crema and cupping . But I will...

Great bacon butties and very good coffee served with a smile. In Bury for a funeral and after an early start wanted some breakfast, No. 5 delivered in spades

Chose this restaurant for a mid morning stop on Thursday for the 4 of us to have breakfast. Must say very impressed by the range of alternative milks on offer and how accommodating the waiter was of my daughter in laws requirements. I went for...

I don’t normally write these sort of reviews but after the wonderful time me and my husband had at lunch today I thought it was only fair. Where do I start first of all we were greeted by a well organised young man who told...

Only stopped here as everywhere else busy but boy I’m glad we did. Met with a inviting member of staff. Basic menu but varied choices. Freshly prepared and very tasty. Drinks were hot and everything nice and clean.

Awful coffees and overpriced, no where near as good as our last visit, this is such a shame and doubt if we will return. Our friends were not impressed, either.

I go here about 3 times a week, very good service, excellent location, hygiene very good in these difficult times, dog friendly, food fantastic, not had a bad meal, can recommend chai latte

Best coffee in town, alongside great food and service, what a treat to have such a beautiful independent cafe in Bury St Edmunds.

First visit to this independent venue where we were welcomed by very friendly and efficient staff. Coffee was very good as was our fayre. Social distancing and Covid safety applied very well , not affecting the very relaxed atmosphere. Well done to all the staff....

What a beautiful location, teamed with great coffee, super friendly service and delicious homemade cakes and treats. Fully complying with the covid restrictions that have been placed on businesses. I think you’re doing a great job, and I love enjoying my coffee, hot chocolate, or...

The coffee was awful & to make matters worse it was served in paper cups. With other coffee shops surrounding No 5 I really don't know how this will survive unless it ups its game.

Lovely little place. Stopped for a bite to eat at lunchtime. Young man running it is great - organised, friendly and managing those customers who still don’t “get” COVID guidelines!!!!! Love the furniture and you can buy it!!!!

Really enjoyed our visit here. Friendly staff and the food was very nice. Good portion sizes and the staff were happy to alter the order where requested.

Lovely people run this cafe. with excellent views of angel hill but you dont pay a premium for good food here

We wanted to celebrate my 60th birthday, but unfortunately it is not possible to eat in a restaurant at the moment. So we contacted Tania and Charlie, and asked if they might be able to provide us with afternoon tea? They were more than delighted...

Popped into No 5 as I saw Bacon rolls being advertised on the board. Greeted by a very pleasant young man who continued to chat to us while we had a short wait for our food & drink. Young lad was a credit to the...

Having just moved into the area we stumbled across this amazing coffee house. The coffee is the absolute best in town and the cakes are to die for. Ambiance is fantastic and the staff are extremely accommodating nothing to much trouble. Tastefully decorated seating with...

A great place for coffee & cakes! We thoroughly enjoyed the generous portions & delicious home baked cakes we ate here on our visit. Friendly & welcoming & good value for money too. We’ll be back!

Five of us enjoyed a light lunch here. Good range of sandwiches, soup etc perfect for lunch. My baked potato was a little disappointing, could have done with more filling and a crispier skin. Having said that, I did eat it all! We all enjoyed...

Nice people. Amazing cakes and good coffee. Good for cyclists as you can see your bikes through the window at all times.

We were welcomed by a young man who was serving the tables and he provided excellent service in a busy shop,we were then asked to move by a woman whom,I presume was the manageress, we were seated at another table which was fine,she then proceeded...

Visited here today for the first time since it changed from Scandinavian House and was very impressed. Great service and unique furnishings and fittings; coffee and cakes were excellent too! Nice independent cafe; nothing else like it in Bury. Very child friendly, dog friendly and...

Perfect spot for a hot drink and a cake and had the pleasure of being served by a really kind and friendly waiter who made sure we were well looked after.

Wonderfully warm welcome and efficient friendly service. Lovely spot right opposite the abbey. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

We had been before but not since it changed hands. Cool grey interior with interesting mirrors and clocks on the walls. Pine topped tables. Very friendly staff. Had sandwiches with mozzarella, pesto and tomato; and sour dough topped with bacon and egg or prosciutto, red...

I can't remember the last time I received such a warm and friendly welcome!! Great food, lovely pot of Earl Grey, fab decor and lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a really good bacon buttie and a coffee before exploring the Christmas market. The bacon was plentiful, of high quality, and served on granary bread. The waitress was charming and helpful. We will be back to sample what else they have on offer next...

Have visited here many times for coffee and cake and always good so decided to take a visiting friend for lunch, we both chose sausage casserole from the specials board as we wanted a main meal,when served the meal was cold which they immediately said...

Loved the quirky stylish furniture and decor and pleasant ambience. Good coffee and speciality earl grey tea. Didn't eat on this occasion. Didn't find staff overly friendly but wouldn't put us off returning.

Excellent service, top quality food, very well priced and all options are tasty! We were recommended this place by the staff in Cote down the road so thought it must be good! And they were right! Best smoked salmon sandwich ever eaten, so much filling...

Have been here many times for lunch/afternoon tea. The food and service has always been top notch staff very attentive to your needs. food is always fresh and homemade. I find No.5 impossible to beat in Busy St Edmunds.

Popped in today for a light lunch as we were eating this evening. One look at the menu and specials board meant proper lunch and snack in the evening!!! Ordered the avocado, radish and poached egg on sourdough (most enjoyable) and from the specials board...

Fantastic! Great location, friendly service and delicious home cooked food. Will definitely come back!

We have visited this cafe twice in two days. Both times the service has been friendly and attentive. The staff seem enthusiastic about the menu which is good to see. My husband had the scotch egg which they took the trouble to prepare prior to...

Charlie & Tania helped me organise surprise party. Amazing food, friendly, helpful staff. Great venue

It is always a treat to find somewhere like No.5. Start with a mid morning coffee before exploring the Abbey Gardens and Cathedral. Return for a delicious light lunch - we had the potato salad followed by a wicked tart. Superb service. If you want...

Yesterday we ended up in this lovely place to have lunch. We were greeted enthusiastically by the owner who made us feel welcome right away. The cafe has a very quirky interior, lots to look at. Furniture made out of automobile parts. But best of...

A lovely café in a lovely area of town. I thought the food was really good and the service exceptional. A bit more expensive than some places, but well worth it.

Stopped here for a lunchtime hot chocolate with friends and wasn’t disappointed, the staff were friendly, the drinks were lovely, the cakes looked amazing, we will definitely be back! It’s great to support independent businesses in Bury St Edmunds when there are so many chains!...

We stopped here to actually get out of the unexpected summer rain and were not disappointed! The cheese scone was really tasty and the whipped butter made it so much easier to spread without making a hole!

Having visited the cathedral a coffee break was needed. Over the road from the cathedral is No 5 Angell Hill; a unique cafe cum mediterranean wine bar (evenings) where the furniture is made from aircraft parts. The cafe offers a good range of beverages tea...

No.5 is in a pleasant spot overlooking the market square. I had a coffee and a cake, both of which were OK - neither outstanding nor poor. I would say the same about the decor and service. So, a solid average all round, but with...

We are always looking for somewhere new to eat and Bury and we think we've found it! Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Loads of different cakes to choose from as well as cooked breakfasts to choose from. We would definitely come again

Friend I popped in on the off chance. Food was delicious, the best jacket potato I've had in a long term, creamy inside crispy skin. Amazing chocolate cake & a huge slice. Prices were quite reasonable too. Not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties, disabilities,...

Friend poped to Bury st Edmunds & suggested a brunch. I suggested No 5, as i knew it had new owners & good reviews.. Walked in around 11.30 to the deafening noise of a drill, waitress explained they had workmen in! We decided to give...
