Paddy and Scott's Cafe in Babergh

Great coffee but I’ve never experienced such slow service. Co-op staff members clearly get priority when it comes to service and extraordinarily long chats with the cafe staff slow it right down

Friendly relaxed coffee bar where they know how to make a good coffee. The pastries and sandwiches are good too! As a local resident, I have visited many times when in town.

What can I say... Friday 14th August another wonderful experience great coffee amazing staff Jo and Holly awesome team loving the chevrons loving the comfy sofas

Bespoke - charismatic - homegrown Suffolk gem. I’ll speak honestly hadleigh is a wonderful town full of independent delights and beautiful walks with plenty of history. Paddy and Scott’s in particular is a relaxing stylish Suffolk coffee house with friendly staff and ridiculously tasty coffee. Your find me in there daily.

It is simple the title says it all. Paddy and Scotts coffee is just the best and sitting watching the world go by in the High Street. A great interlide

Excellent service. Jo and Paris work well together excellent customer service . They were both interacting with each other and were making customers chuckle. Jo and paris are a credit to the company. I would like to also say Aiden is a pleasant, helpful young man who works with a smile on his face. The atmosphere in the shop is very welcoming.

Use this cafe a lot (coffee mad) as it’s so convenient good service staff are polite pleasant & happy good prices .always clean comfortable seating with friendly clients

Stopped for a coffee, very nice! Wasnt a planned visit, was just driving through hadleigh. Will go again.

I was very excited when my family discovered P&S's for the first time in Hadleigh and we have subsequently visited other branches but this is our favourite. They offer a great variety of coffee varieties and I especially like the cappuccino. The flat white is probably the best I've ever had. The Oreo milkshake is also excellent. The cakes are good but never amazing and they rarely seem to change which is mildly frustrating if you visit reasonably often. It is a fairly expensive café but really has little competition in the town so if you go there after 10.30 we often find you may not get a table on certain days, but before 10.00 and you're fine. They have the most generous loyalty scheme ever as you soon build up enough points for a free drink! I have to mention though the staff vary quite dramatically in friendliness which can really detract as sometimes you feel you're intruding on a gossip or moan. Some are very formal, but some ask how you are and really seem to mean it. Most often and positively they are pleasant and add to the friendly atmosphere. You order at the counter and the waiter(ess) brings it to your table. The whole querky/funky thing seems a little forced rather than natural but if you are creating a brand a product has to be created which can be duplicated infinitely representing an ethos. These quibbles aside I always enjoy going there and it is a blessing to the town. It is streets ahead in quality and interest to the major chains. I would hate it if Hadleigh was invaded by the soulless giants of the coffee shop world. Long live P&S's!

Never been here before and was pleasantly surprised to have a pot of green tea with an egg timer to make sure the tea was brewed. Tea Pigs, so excellent!

We now understand why the place was empty with this our second visit. All you could hear was the staff talking loudly about their shifts on and on. Overpriced with a cost of £13.99 for two regular cappuccino's and 2 Portuguese microscopic size tarts.

My friend and I both took our 3 year olds to Paddy and Scott's so we could have a coffee and a chat. Blackboard topped tables and chalk for the children was a massive hit, it's also nice to feel like we had a bit of room, you don't feel too hemmed in. The coffee is fine, fairly basic selection and not much for children - although they did have a hot chocolate, quite expensive though from memory (for a child's hot chocolate). Will go back though. Great location

Summer is here - torrential rain accompanies it and the street is empty. Paddy & Scott's entices us. Two hot ciabatta's and two freshly brewed coffees later and we are once again smiling. Centrally located, comfortable and with easy parking nearby, what's not to like? We found the staff delightful and the quality of the products is great - will certainly return.

I visited for the first time in a year with my husband who is a wheelchair user, daughter and granddaughter. The welcome was so friendly and Paris remembered me and my order which was lovely. The view of the High Street was awe inspiring and the ambiance calm and relaxing. It made my break in Hadleigh just that little bit better. Thank you.

Tuesday morning i met friends for a lovely coffee. The atmosphere made by Jo and Michelle was great the shop was happy and i love the colouring tables. This is my favourite coffee shop in Hadleigh. Well done girls for a great welcome

Llevé a un pariente que es dependiente de ruedas aquí en una media mañana martes.

My regular stopping-off place to tend my caffeine habit. Love the Paddy & Scott's blend and the staff here are so friendly. Food also a cut above the average coffee shop stuff.

My daughter and I recently had a bacon ciabatta and tea here. The service was quick and efficient, the ciabatta lovely and warm and I loved the timer that came with the tea to make sure it was brewed just right.

No lácteos Leche alternativa disponible que es genial, pero el sabor de la leche de soja utilizada es insoportable y horrible. Mi marido, que sabía mi soja leche bebidas café y acordó que era repugnante comparado a su café regular. Yo bebo alternativas no lácteos en otro lugar y no tienen este problema.

One of the nicest cups of coffee in Hadleigh but I am not sure that the setting (The Co-op) supports it. The service can be less than efficient and the food not always presented at its best but.......the coffee is great!

The coffee shop is attached to the co-op, one can shop and then have a restorative coffee, or vice versa. Plenty of spaciously arranged seating, obliging staff, and most important of all, very good coffee. My favourite coffee shop in Hadleigh, and I've tried them...

We enjoyed a simple breakfast; coffees, bacon roll and pastries, coffees were excellent, a pity the pastries weren't warm but maybe we should have asked.Staff very cheery.

Stopped in this morning for my breakfast and a welcome cup of coffee. Bethany and Jo provide relaxed efficient and professional service. This coffee shop has a lovely family feel.

Great coffee a new experience as never tried paddy&scotts, a very welcome change from my normal venues. The staff were polite, helpful and efficient for a busy saturday visit. They won me over and will hunt for a paddy&scotts wherever I go now...hope they open one in norwich soon .

Coffee is always perfectly made by paris. Just the right temperature and great strength. Service is always with a smile, really friendly and happy!!

Lovely atmosphere, loving the mix of chairs, good coffee and great service! Handy in the centre of towns high street.

Coffee: good proper coffee, strong enough and well made. They do soya milk which is handy.Food: a bit limited but we did have was very nice.Place: relaxed, spacious, comfortable and not noisy. Newspapers as well.Staff: friendly and seemingly happy.Overall very good and we will be going again.

Went in on a wet Saturday lunch time not busy placed our order just 2 coffees 30mins later after asking we got our coffee ! The girls just stood around chatting. When we asked "oh sorry we forgot". There's plenty of coffee shops in town !!!!

Very friendly and quick service, great choice of tea and coffee, really love the sausage rolls they also do a great selection of cakes.This is a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the place. Hadleigh is a great place to visit with free parking and some great independent shops.

Visited late on a Saturday morning and we had a sausage roll, an app!e and blackberry flapjack, a coffee and an earl grey tea. Found a lovely comfy pair of leather chairs whilst waiting. Service was quite quick, and the very friendly the waitress also brought an egg timer so i could brew the tea for the right length of time! Excellent food, nice coffee and the best Earl Grey ive had, and we thought competitively priced. All in all, pretty fab! Would definately visit again and try other food and teas.

We come for coffee regularly, Paris is always amazing. So friendly and he makes the best coffee!! Would highly recommend

We called in while visiting Hadleigh - the decor is really cool - love the chairs. It has a great sense of branding and the coffee was tasty (as were the pastries). The reason I have rated it as average is simply the staff - it was clear they had lots to talk about - to each other. It's very off putting for customers when this is happening. A bit of staff training and this place could be great.

Whilst visiting Hadleigh on Thursday 18th February at 930am I fancied a coffee so I popped into your Paddy and Scotts coffee shop. On entering I found the atmosphere to be of a warm friendly nature. I ordered a Latte and was told to take a seat and the drink would be brought to me. The female staff member who served me, I found that her customer service skills were outstanding. She chatted and made me feel welcome. I would recommend your coffee shop to people trying something different. I myself work as an assistant manager in the food industry and this is how customer service should be she was a credit to you.

Went with my wife to this branch on Tusday, waited at Counter, which seemed like ages, as staff were too busy talking to each other.We ordered two coffees and were told to sit down as they would bring them overwhen ready. It was not busy and we waited ages and noticed that they were made but were siting on the front counter getting cold.I went to ask what was happening and they could not care less. These staff have obviously not been trained.Will not be going back!!

15 mins waiting for a cappuccino and when it came not really worth £2.50 and the rest of this is because crap advisor says the revue must be so many words long ?????Whats all that about

Ideal for a coffee stop and a chat with friends. We visit regularly when shopping in town. Lovely coffee and a good range of cakes. Service good and much better now you have a numbered token rather than having name called out.

Good place to sit and have a delicious coffee. The service is good and atmosphere is pleasant. They do good flapjacks too.

Have been visiting since it opened and the coffee is great and the Sausage Rolls are to die for.It is well worth a visit.Comfy armchairs and great staff. Place to visit if shopping in this lovely Suffolk market town.

Having travelled the world and frequented many coffee shops from Norway to Australia it is nice to find one with all the greatest attributes right on my doorstep. Friendly staff who know your name by the second visit, room to chat, work or surf the net all with a cup of the best coffee around. Reasonably priced with delicious food if you are staying for a longer visit it has my firm recommend. Great job.

Popped in for coffee and drinks with Grandchilren and other family members. In my opinion the coffee was average I think it was to bitter and the coffee beans could have been slightly burnt giving it the bitter taste, other than this the Childrens drinks were good as were the smoothies. please give it a try the Coffee may be better now.

Very good coffee and staff great. I feel maybe the food is a bit overpriced and often prevents me from ordering a snack with my coffee. As I say though, if you're looking for good coffee then you're in business!Furniture etc is nice but I feel the space could/should be made to feel cosier somehow. All in all, my favoured choice for a coffee stop on Hadleigh High Street.

Nice coffee in relaxed surroundings plus free wifi. Some excellent snacks on offer at a very reasonable price - recommend the apple pie or sausage ciabatta.

Café cold and not well situated (inside Co-op).Staff Friendly. Ordered pot of tea for two. Only do cups of tea.Order two cups of breakfast tea. Was charged £2.25 per cup. I questioned this and was told that cheaper tea at 1.75 was their own blend.How can they justify charging £2.25 for a very ordinary teabag in a cup !I would have expected at least a small pot of tea for this extortionate price.I could have a pot of tea in a five star hotel for less than £3.00 with waitress service and leaf tea.

Enjoyed a hot ciabatta bacon roll and a pastry. Good service, although the milk jugs would be much improved by a more thorough cleaning.

Coffee and cake was great. The two guys that were serving were very friendly and efficient. Will be going back again !!

Have visited this place a fair few times and the coffee is amazing. I often come in with my little boy but recently things have slipped. I have worked in catering myself ever since I have been able to work. Tables are always dirty, two members of staff in particular always on their phones, little or no eye contact when taking orders and today was the third occasion I struggled with a buggy a screaming toddler and trying to get my drinks to the table , not one member of staff offered to help. I sat at a dirty table whilst the staff stood gossiping and checking their mobile phones. Such a shame. I ordered a 'babycinno' for my eighteen month old son and it's the third time they have given me scolding hot milk in an espresso cup, I had high hopes for this place when it opened , it seemed very child friendly and a lovely modern feel which Hadleigh needs , but things have slipped. The female waitress/ barista that I have seen a few times in there just cannot be bothered . Absolutely no customer service skills what so ever and quite rude , seems her phone is her priority. As I said such a shame.

Cafe to suit all. Modern, clean spacious and welcoming Very friendly and helpful staff. Relaxed and slightly quirky decor. Good range of drink, food and seating options.

Nice decor and well presented BUT the staff appear to need more training on making coffee and preparing addition food.Called in for a breakfast special pleasant lady behind the counter struggled to make my chosen coffee then had to wait for her colleague to show her how to make a sausage ciabatta.Wish them well and will try again in a few weeks

So nice to see at last Hadleigh has a 21st century coffe shop. Tha service is good and the regular sized cup of coffee is generous. The ciabatta bacon rolls are tasty and the cakes and pastries tempting. Being right in the centre of the High Street is a good position in our lovely town with its up and coming High Street. Well worth a visit.

Very nice, relax decor, only place on the high street that does soya latte's. The tray bakes are good value for money. I'm sold as a repeat customer.

First day opening with a few minor glitches as the place gets going. However, what an asset to this small town. I live nearby and would not normally stop for a coffee, but now have a reason to do so.I thought I could be happy with a flat white, in my opinion their stand out offering, but the tray bakes are very tempting and taste home made.With free car parking here, I can spend my pennies on a great coffee, stay longer and check out the variety of local shops. Welcome to the new boys in town.
