Paws for Tea in Waveney

What an excellent find, tucked away in the corner of Beccles Common. Our Springer Cookie was first through the door and made very welcome. We sat outside in some very comfy garden chairs had a coffee and tea with a sausage roll and cheese scone, if it wasn’t cheesy enough came with an extra pot of cheese. Both came warm and hit the spot. Service was excellent and very reasonably priced £15 for our delights. Good place for a break after a dog walk although I do feel I would walk out of my way if I was in the area again

This tearoom brought a smile to our faces! The owner/staff members were very friendly and accommodating. They spoilt our dog with treats, and the food was excellent. My wife and I will definitely be returning.

I stopped off at Paws for Tea for some lunch and a coffee. I ordered a cream cheese & sundried tomato pitta, this was really tasty and well presented, but best of all was the coffee, it was delicious. I will definitely come again.

As always great food, cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly service and great with the dogs. Also, they are open throughout October - Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is great news. Shall make sure we visit before the end of October. Can recommend the Sundried Tomato, Pesto and Mozzaralla Panini - delicious.

Everything is catered for menu wise. Even the dogs have a choice on the menu.All the food and cakes are delicious. The staff are excellent and couldn't be better, nothing too much trouble. Dogs love all the free treats on offer and the young children love all the toys that they can play with. Why wouldn't you want to stop by and visit your bound to become a regular.

Just wow, super dog friendly and staff welcoming. We stopped here for a coffee and cake after a long dog walk. All of the coffees and more importantly the cake was lovely, the carrot cake was the best I have ever tasted. Nice man served us, spent time to ask about our holiday and very COVID safe. Couldn’t fault and wish we had time on our hols to go back there!

Great value for money, plenty of choice and the most courteous and helpful service anyone could ask for.

Treated my partner to a birthday afternoon tea and it was just amazing. All the food was perfect and well presented. We had a complete three tier cake stand laden with sweet and savoury goodies, and then a second arrived so we in fact had one each! The staff were so attentive and made a point of acknowledging his birthday.Up there with the best of the teas that we have experienced.

A great little pit stop. Nice coffee and the kids loved the ice cream. Thank you. Well done also on your COVID planning, kept us all safe.

Great food and selection. Really friendly staff. Great for dogs with lots of treats and space. Perfectly placed for a walk around the common.

We were on holiday in Lowestoft and fancied going out somewhere for a nice slice of cake and tea. My partner googled dog friendly places ax we har our 7 m8nth old puppy with us, and this place popped up. We drove 30 mins from our caravan to get here but it was worth it! The tearoom is by the large common which is great for walking dogs. Covid measures in place were spot on. Made to feel welcome and we chose to sit outside. Dog water bowls provided, and staff happily offer doggy treats to the dogs, what a great idea. Lovely setting, need something like this where I live! I chose an egg mayo sandwich, my partner had the cream tea, and my children had a cheese scone and a cheese and pickle sandwich, all very tasty and we even just about managed to squeeze in a slice of cake, the carrot cake was amazing, so moist, and one of the best I've tasted. Well done, this is a great place, thank you.

Beautiful tea rooms. Absolutely nailed it with covid safety. Perfect for dog owners or not alike. Cake and tea were devine . Welcoming. Friendly. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you 😊

Visit today, lovely tea room, food great had bacon and egg roll. Lovely atmosphere and seating outside, great to stop for a light snack or cake with or without your doggie . Friendly staff and all Covid-19 procedures in place we would definitely recommend a visit I can't praise this lovely tea rooms enough

We walked across the common for a refreshing cup of Earl Grey and great cake - safe and friendly service - just what you want in these times😃

Service very friendly and treats for dogs served as well! Warm restaurant, great after walking across Beccles Common.

I have been to this lovely friendly cafe on Beccles common many times. It's perfect for a cup of tea, snack or light lunch during your dog walk and it's genuinely dog-friendly with plenty of water bowls, dog mats and treats. However many dogs are there at one time, there never seems to be a cross woof! Maybe that goes to show that our doggie pals are better behaved than people!!

Found this wonderful cafe, in Beccles, today. It’s dog friendly indoors, which is great, and makes delicious home-made food. A proper tea room, in a lovely setting. Good for morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon tea. Very clean, and well equipped for every member of the family. We had toasted cheese and onion sandwiches, and home-made victoria sandwich cake. Treats for our pup too. Ideal, whether or not you enjoy a walk on the common. First-class. Will definitely return for more.

We decided on Paws for Tea while in Beccles ‘cos we liked the cute name (and the reviews were good). It’s a lovely bright, clean and inviting space with plenty of seating outside for walkers with their dogs. We had homemade soup that was very tasty and service was friendly - I would definitely recommend a visit and we will return for a slice of cake next time we’re in the area.

After a hours walk on the common, what a great place to relax with a nice cupper and a bite to eat.Staff are really very nice and had time to chat when asked questions. Quality was very good and the area modern and clean.Going to make this a regular stop on my walks.

On our recent holiday in Suffolk, we visited Paws for Tea twice. It is situated right next to Beccles Common so ideal for lunch after walking our 2 cocker spaniels. The owners are extremely welcoming to people and dogs and the home made food is delicious.We will certainly visit again if in the area, and will definitely recommend to friends.

It was a lovely day so we decided to go to Beccles as we hadn't been there for a couple of years. Did a Google search before leaving home for dog friendly cafes and up came Paws for Tea. After a lovey walk around the common we reached the cafe. As it was such a lovely day we sat outside and read the menu. Shock, horror - no cream teas!! I asked the waitress if they did cream teas and to my surprise she said it could be arranged. A very happy me!Very dog friendly with plenty of water bowls and treats.When next in Beccles we certainly know where to head!

After a walk around the common, tea and cake at Paws for tea has almost become tradition now! The service is good and the staff are excellent. They are friendly and understanding about gluten free dietary requirements. There are always at least 2 gluten free cake options. The cafe is well adapted to accept dogs, free treats are offered at the till and there is an overall great family atmosphere. The staff cannot do enough for you!

Great place to stop for a light bite after a walk round Beccles Common with our dog. Had home made soup with seeded bread which was very good, afters was a slice of lovely cafe. We have a very warm welcome from the staff working that day. Even if you are not walking a dog it is well worth calling in.

Great place to stop for a light snack,lovely cakes & decent coffee,set on Beccles common,so you can walk your dog & then get some refreshments,friendly staff giving out dog treats,will definitely be returning.

Lovely, dog friendly little cafe on Beccles Common. Very welcome after a long walk around the Common with children and a boisterous dog.

A must if you are going for a walk on Beccles Common. Pop in for a light bite or just a drink, we did today. A lovely cheese and onion toasty with salad and crisps, hubby had cheese scone. Wonderful hot chocolate complete with paw print on the top. Very friendly staff and welcomed our dog inside the cafe and a treat for her too. Hooks indoors and out to clip your dogs lead to so you are hands free.

This dog friendly tearoom is excellent for lunch. They made a fuss of my dog, offering her unlimited treats. The food was fresh and well prepared and the cakes were delicious. It is right by Beccles Common where you can walk your dog and, depending on the season, see a variety of wildlife. Will definitely go back.

What a great place to visit with dogs while in the area. The homemade cakes were lovely and the friendly welcome for kids and dogs topped it off.

We love paws for tea and visit often.Cakes and scones are delicious and they also do toasties and sandwiches for a snack lunch.

Such a lovely place to take your dog. Walk around the common and then rest with a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of delicious cake. Or have a lunch and delicious ice cream. Free treats for the dog and plenty of water bowls. Extremely friendly staff. Children are welcome too.

Delightful. We didn't know this existed until we came upon it by chance. Quite a walk from the car park on Beccles Common but worth it. Very pleasant. Very clean. The cafe itself is a new modern wooden chalet with grass areas surrounding it. Very sheltered so on a sunny day, sitting outside is very relaxing and pleasant. Good variety of cakes and sandwiches. Very pleasant people who run it. Dog friendly and child friendly. Will be going again in the near future

Lovely quaint little cafe. Delicious cakes and a very friendly and welcoming service. The cafe is also dog friendly and has a dog treat jar for four legged visiters. The cafe is nicely decorated inside and also very pretty from the outside. There is a small farm next door to the cafe and it is situated in beccles common.

Great place for your long walk stop or to warm up on a winters day when out walking the dogs,

Lovely spot for a break while walking the dog. Perfect!

Warm friendly welcome, great food, and something as simple as carabiner clips attached to the wall are the perfect idea for your dog lead! With or without a dog you would definitely love it here.

What a lovely end to a beautiful walk around the common. Friendly staff, plenty of room for humans and furry friends inside and out.

Met a friend for a walk at the common with 2 toddlers and 2 dogs on a drizzly wet day.

This cafe is excellent, lovely coffee, fantastic cakes, very friendly service. The place is amazing, it's part of the boarding kennels but you're away from that and you don't notice that at all. It's situated on Beccles Common so is a very nice setting. The cafe is in a new building that has an excellent design and everything has been thought of. There's indoor and outdoor seating, all with a lovely ambience. The place is secure for children and dogs with a lot of toys for children to play with, toy tractors etc and fittings on the walls inside and out to attach your dog's lead. Inside there are even mats for dogs to sit on and again clips to attach your dog's lead to. There's a free treat jar for you to give your dog a treat. The place is sooooo clean even though it's very dog friendly. It also sells locally made 'proper' icecream. What a gem, a must to visit!

I have 3 dogs and a young child and I'm gutted I didn't find this place earlier. I'm reluctant to do this review as I don't want anyone else to know how good it is....

called in a few times to meet family for coffee and cake,lovely setting,good food.great value,will definatly visit again.the cake was very nice.

Met friends for afternoon tea . Couldn't recommend it more . Lovely location , although next to the owners kennels you really don't the dogs occasionally barking . Was served a delicious selection of toffee cake , carrot cake & a plate of cheese sandwiches salad & crisps . Will def be returning with my dog . Thank you .

Took us a while to find this place but so glad we did. Modern small cafe inside (but good outside seating too) very dog friendly. We were two couples and two dogs all made very welcome. Sandwiches and scrummy toasties all came with good fresh salad and crisps so more a meal than snack. Great coffee too. Cakes looked nice but too full to try them. Excellent value and lovely service. Definite highlight of our holiday.

We stoped here on our way to the beach and had a flat white carrot cake and late. Really enjoyed it. Plenty of water for our German shepherd. My only issue is that it isn't located at the map location that is given in this listing so we had to drive a further 20 mins to get here.

We are just back from a nice walk on the common and then a lovely coffee and cakes at this wonderful cafe. Pleasant clean surroundings and wonderful staff. A lot of thought has gone into the cafe and outside areas as there are carabiners, water bowls and even toys for the children. Even the dogs are given doggy biscuits to enjoy with you free of charge. We will definitely be returning.

First visit to the tearoom. Beautiful location on the common! Lovely, well designed tearoom and pleasant staff!

First visit with 2 friends and 2 dogs today but definitely not the last! Super clean and welcoming. Treats are free for the dogs. Lovely range of hot drinks, cakes and light snacks.

The proprietors have gone to a lot of trouble to provide a very smart yet user-friendly facility for dogs and their owners. With it's glass and wood it has the atmosphere of a Scandinavian lodge house.

Walk the dogs on the common and head for the café owners are also owners of the Kennels also a very well run establishment and highly recommend. Fab service, and snacks and drink.

We sought out this much talked-about tea room on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We were not disappointed! There were plenty of tables outside and inside, all spotlessly clean. Staff were very friendly and polite and the food was excellent - delicious sandwiches and cakes! Very child and dog-friendly. We will definitely be returning soon, with or without the dog!

A delightful, dog-friendly cafe linked to the Kennels on Beccles Common. Lovely cakes, including a selection of gluten-free.
