Pickwicks in Ipswich - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always love a good cream tea at this place, with a wide collection of tea to choose from to go well with your style of cream tea. They go the extra mile and warm your fruit/cheese scone for you. Well recommended for a light lunch or a sweet treat cream tea. There's seating near the church for an extra unique atmosphere that is out of this world, escape the normal Ipswich scene.

Lovely staff, lovely gf tuna melt!

Lovely little coffee shop just off the main shopping street

We had a quick coffee this morning. Downstairs was full, but more seating upstairs. Quaint old fashioned building.

The best place in town for sure ❤️!!! All staff are very friendly and calm atmosphere.As my little one said: "the best hot chocolate in town" ❤️!!! All our family members love this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Highly recommended!!!

Lonely range of teas and coffees, very friendly and relaxed. The cheese scone was warm and delicious!

Cosy and intimate cafe to enjoy a good catch up with a friend. Beautiful cappuccino.

Unfortunately the standards of cleanliness are plunging. Plates are left on tables, unnoticed by the very young waiting staff. Food debris on the tables, crumbs on the floor and the toilet with a dirty floor. Wash hand basin neglected. Standards of service have certainly fell through the floor and also hygiene standards.

En fantastisk historisk kafé. Veldig engelsk - jeg elsker det. God kaffe og kaker. Vennlige servitører. Jeg vil definitivt besøke igjen

Pickwicks is a lovely, independent traditional tea shop in the town centre. Food is freshly prepared to order, and the tea is very good, served in a pot with a strainer – how it should be. There is a good choice of reasonably priced food and drinks on the menu served by nice friendly staff.

A long time customer of the one the most prettiest little tea houses England has to offer. Would highly recommend the Ethiopian or Peruvian strong roasts. So glad to see Pickwick's surviving such a difficult time, commercially speaking, for the centre of Ipswich.

A cosy cafe with welcoming staff and great food. An array of teas, coffees and hot chocolate to choose from and the option if oat or soya milk as an alternative to dairy. Would very much recommend!

Went to Pickwicks with my daughter and her infant. Staff went out of their way to seat us. Good food, cool and calm atmosphere

The food was as you would expect from a small place like this. There is only 1 toilet up a flite of steep stairs. Not ideal for knee problems. It looked a bit tired and lots of flies flying around. It was a very hot day and the door was open. I wouldn't go back.

I enjoyed afternoon tea outside in gorgeous weather with a friend of mine who I hadn't seen for several years. Pickwicks offer a huge selection of teas and coffees as well as a decent range of food. A pot of tea only cost £4.50 at the time of buying and served more than a couple of servings each. I will be back at Pickwicks for further brews.

Located in an interesting historic building. We enjoyed good tea and coffee but didn't buy any food. They only allowed dogs downstairs but as the upper floor was closed off I guessed they allow humans downstairs too. No one complained so it seems it was OK. We purchased some packaged tea to take home and for gifts. We'd definitely visit again.

Beautiful old fashioned tea shop with exceptional staff well worth the visit 😀

A large selection of teas and coffes

Only had a cappucino but was delicious. Staff lovely & friendly.

Nice to take my mum out Nice place.

I love this quirky cafe, I always visit when I'm in the area, the range of speciality teas and coffees is fantastic

Was a lovely place gir lunch , lovely found ,huge choice definitely go again

Wonderful experience and love the atmosphere

Friendly, quirky cafe. Quite busy.

I absolutely enjoyed spending my time in this little lovely tea room. ❤

Lovely toasted Brie and canberry, coffee, mint tea ,

Visited Pickwick café for the first time this week had a lovely scone and tea and my friend had a warm scone and hot chocolate. The atmosphere was very relaxing and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely visit again

First time visiting this Quirky little tea room. Cheese scones were delicious, as was the loose leaf earl grey and cappuccino. The staff were lovely and attentive. Will definitely return.

Dropped in for a drink ended up having lunch highly recommend to anyone who has a little time to chill out.

Lovely friendly quaint little cafe

Morning stop of point. I had a lovely scone with cream and jam! It was lush! We also had a chat with a lovely girl that works there who went through some of the teas and coffees they have at the store and also recommended some nice things to try. We bought tea samples and little tea strainer! She was also lovely enough and said I can order with her next time over the phone and she would post some samples to me as I don’t live in the area. Thank you ladies x

Nice staff, though short staffed so a bit slow, scones were ok and the tea is good. But it was sooo cold in there today we won't be going back. Which is exactly what the lady next to us said and the couple opposite too. How is keeping the heating off to save a couple of quid worth losing 5 customers business? And I'm sure lots more people will feel the same. Everyone wore their coats, and some kept their hats on. When we got back to our bicycle in the buttermarket car park our Speedo showed it was 14.5C and it felt much warmer there than the café.

Brilliant little coffee shop. Great service, excellent menu

Great coffee and food, friendly staff

Very nice place quite small but there is an upstairs My friend had soup which she said was lovely I had a coffee and a lovely warm mince pie staff very nice too Will go there again

Like a little oasis in the middle of town normally tranquil surroundings and great for summer as no indoor seating.

Been a couple of times to pickwicks for a treat. The teas and coffees are great, many flavours and types to suit all tastes. We went for lunch last weekend and the food was absolutely delicious. The mushroom stroganoff was so flavorful! 🥰 My only criticism is that there was a 50p charge for alternative milk which I think is a bit excessive and unnecessary.

Food is lovely and priced as reasonably as it can be given current financial climate. Service a little slow but we were in good company so wasn't a problem

A lovely place hidden in the centre of Ipswich. Lovely tea and coffee, scones are scrumptious.

A must for anyone. Fantastic selection of loose teas and ground coffee beans.

Nice food, nice, friendly staff

I have visited Pickwick's several times. As I am new to the area I walked around looking for somewhere very interesting and unique. I have found it!!! Bijou and totally unique what a pleasure to find this tea room /cafe. If you are a tea/coffee afficionado then this is the place. Oh and the food is very special as well!! At times very busy hang in there it's worth the wait.

Great range of coffees and some lovely cakes.

Chai latte milkshake in their secluded seating :)

Sat in courtyard. Good fast service and nice food and coffee.

Lovely cup of tea in the shade. Would recommend the pickwick blend. Nice courtyard setting. A little gem xx highly recommend

Ya era tarde y faltaban 40 minutos para que cerraran. Nos atendieron muy bien y la comida estaba buena.

Lovely shaded courtyard at the back which was very welcome on a warm sunny day. Great coffee and food with friendly service.

Lovely tearoom with gluten free options which are greatly appreciated !!

Whenever I am in town, this is my go to place for many years now. Friendly staff, good homemade food and of course, an extensive range of teas and coffees from around the globe. Lovely to take a moment there, enjoy and watch the world go by!

Indoor and outdoor seating.Staff friendly and helpful.Food is fresh and very good.Service quick would definitely recommend.

Nice cafe with attentive staff. We came for coffee only. Flat white and Marimba hot chocolate for kid both were absolutely delicious!

Great little hide a way for lunch. Cakes yum yum.

Excellent little gem. Old fashioned tea shop with delicious cakes like going back in time.

Really lovely little independent tea room.

First time here .food is always made to order so fresh. Staff were lovely. 2nd visit here food is still lovely. Wish we had one in colchester's.

Very nice coffee/tea room not over priced and very friendly will go again.

Called in for coffee and toasted teacake before a shopping day. Very pleasant staff. Made my coffee perfectly ( decaf,oat milk, cold ,no ice )Nice large teacake . Fabulous choice of teas . Highly recommended.

First time here and will return. Excellent choice of tea and coffee. We had Macaroni Cheese and it was delicious. Proper home cooked style food with flavour. Customer Service was very good. Reasonably priced.

Lovely Cream Tea lunch for my birthday! Nice friendly helpful staff! Thank you.

My daughter and I love Pickwicks, it's got lots of character, the food is delicious and the service is good.

Lovely in this oldest Café in Ipswich. Interesting history that the owner shared,which includes a residential ghost called James. Will visit again..

Nice little place for a coffee and snacks, also has a shop selling all things tea and coffee 🥰

It has a great menu with lots of choice. Food is always fresh and piping hot. Everything i have tried has been really tasty and enjoyable. I highly recommend the macaroni cheese!! A lovely little tea room away from the clamour of town

Very good service. Toastys are very good and you get a very nice salad 🥗 and crisps, pot of real tea. ( no teabags here) would really recommend 👌.

This is a fantastic independent cafe with courtyard seating. Better still, Wolsey's secretary apparently had an office on the site.

Love their ploughman's. Great tea and coffee too! Good value

Lovely atmosphere, cosy and welcoming. Staff super friendly and helpful. Food great and tea was of course wonderful. Perfect place to just relax whilst shopping 😁

Lovely cafe, staff are really friendly and welcoming. Great menu and a huge choice of tea and coffee.

Charming cafe in the old historic part of Ipswich. We sat in the outside seating at the back of the cafe next to a beautiful church. Staff were very attentive, we enjoyed a Plowman's Lunch and a Cream Tea with accompanying coffees, all absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Order tosted fruit bread 3 times it was served and on all 3 occasions burnt not even edible coffee cold Very disappointed. Did not eat or drink either and did not pay.

Lovely place for lunch, just struggled which coffee to have

Sandwich fillings weren't great, coffee tasted bitter but lovely staff and service

Had cakes and coffee... they were great. Staff were friendly but the concern I had was the tables weren't cleaned.. we were'nt able to point it out until later on.

Best old time tea room around. A rare gem.

Really interesting selection of teas and coffees, and the Spanish coffee is amazing!

Had the Jamaican blue mountain roast was very good. Staff were friendly service was great

Had a lovely lunch today in open air. Lovely polite waiter with speedy service. Amazing tea and coffee choices and the food menu ideal for a short working lunch. Highly recommended.

Lovely shop, good coffee and cakes and nice service!

Friendly staff and good service. Food good, lovely little courtyard. Track and trace in place and encouraged.

Food was lovely, and the staff where friendly and helpful. Covid distancing was in place and I felt safe and happy to be eating out.

Nice coffee and great seated area covid secure

Courtyard was a bit chilly to sit in, but it was fine.

Lovely place for a spot of lunch. Delicious coffees and teas!

nothing special waitress didnt wear face covering

Nice spot for a bite to eat and a hot drink. Nice outdoor courtyard seating area.

Enjoy the outside courtyard especially in warmer weather..good service and friendly staff and a good food and drinks menu! Xx

A lovely find for lunch. Housed in a very old (historical) building, we were made to feel very welcome. The toasted sandwiches and hot chocolates were just what we needed. We bought a gift and also some leaf tea as presents after we’d eaten. We are here on holiday but if we’re ever back in Ipswich, we’d definitely eat here again.

Traditional, atmospheric teashop. Always a good stopping place for a tea/coffee and a treat- the "fully loaded" chocolate cake is an experience!

Good coffee. Quaint decor, homely atmosphere. Will go back and have lunch another day.

If you want to try a proper coffee shop then Pickwick's it is, you can choose from a huge range of coffee beans and also take some home if you love it. The same can be said for tea too, usually I'm an English breakfast man but there are so many variations on this type of black tea I try a different one each time I'm there. The service is lovely and very personal.

Really cute cafe with lots of choices. Staff are so friendly. Food lovely.

Cute little independent cafe, offering a range of food and a surprisingly large range of teas

Great little coffee shop. Very telling that it was clearly full of regulars. As I was paying at the counter I clocked the huge choice of leaf teas on sale and was able to purchase some as a gift.

Warm welcoming accommodating staff & lovely food

Lovely place to eat kids eat for £2 At the rear of the little church

The pair of blond ladies provided really attentive and friendly service and were ready to enjoy jokes. The food and choice was excellent and was prepared quickly. All of that within an exceptionally old building with loads of atmosphere.

Value for money offer of tea cake and coffee. Very friendly service

Quite a quirky place. Had a very nice lunch. Very friendly service. Prices very reasonable

Brilliant coffee and they sell it as beans or grounds to take away, food is good as well.
