We have been going here for some time now and the cafe has got better and better. The ladies serving are friendly, pleasant and helpful. The cafe is bright, airy and clean. The only downside is the very uncomfortable chairs, but apart from that, everything else is excellent.

Garden Cafe was splendid. We had a late breakfast, including delicious cherry tomatoes! The lovely ladies made us feel very welcome! Top marks :)

In need of a pick-me-up, I went for a scone with cream and jam and a coffee Although it was getting near to closing time, I was made to feel welcome and the lady who served me was very pleasant and professional. Enjoyed my visit.

Beautiful little garden centre, lovely food in cafe but by golly the smell of bacon smoke smothers you while you sit and eat. We actually had to leave because our eyes were watering because of the smoke. It’s such a shame as it’s a pretty little place to sit and enjoy coffee, cake and obviously a bacon sandwich but leaving the café smelling of a full English wasn’t much fun.

This garden centre has a nice resturant with inside and outside tables, good selection of cake and tea, clean smart and welcoming. Access to the resturant is down a slope in the garden centre, this is steep when coming back out, but no steps.

Went to the cafe today and sat in the garden, it was lovely. The rhubarb and custard cake was delicious, I’ve never had anything like it before, I hope they have it again as I will definitely be going back!

Nice garden centre. Small cafe with indoor/outdoor seating. Ordered full English breakfast and eggs on toast - nice food, however plates were stone cold! No butter under the eggs on toast and the toast was only just toasted - easy fixes I’m sure 😊

Called in for lunch with my gluten intolerant partner. There was more than one option for him to eat and afterwards we had hot drinks and amazing cake. ( try the coconut and lime sponge or the g/f carrot cake ) The cafe was clean and the staff were very friendly. A nice place for a sit down and a breather.

Glad the centre is now open to be able to browse rather than ordering online. Didn't get any pots in the end but did buy so bird food. Also noticed that they do a good selection of slate etc so may well go back and get some to top up my garden

We called in here just before Christmas, on a business trip to the Ipswich area. We enjoyed a lovely traditional cooked breakfast, and coffee. In my opinion the sausage was particularly good.Speaking to other customers the cafe has a very good reputation locally and is often full.Service from the staff was good attentive but not imposing. Highly recommended.

This cafe is inside a garden centre and is basically a converted house with a large patio area that's surrounded by plants and arbors to sit in. We had free drinks vouchers from spending in the garden centre. Drinks were fine though service was a bit slow.

We visited as a group of six and luckily were able to pull two tables together inside. If the weather had been worse I think we would have struggled to get a table for all six as it’s quite a small cafe. The food was good, the chips in particular were tasty, but they forgot one of our meals so there was a longer wait as we waited for theirs to be cooked. They did have a good cake selection with several gluten-free options and they even wrapped up the other half of my sandwich so I could take it home, as it was so big I couldn’t eat it all with the chips. Would go back again and try more of the cakes.

We called in for food & a look around the garden centre, the cafe look very clean and tidy, the food unfortunately was a massive let down, ham, eggs & chips was actually eggs with a few chips with 1 slice of thinly sliced ham. The cod and chips were an even bigger let down as it looked like a very small & thin frozen cod that you would buy in Iceland with just a few chips and peas. Waste of money. The garden centre had some nice items but we felt ripped off by the cafe so left.

We popped by the cafe but as we are both vegan we were disappointed to see how limited the options were. We opted for jacket potato and beans. The jacket was microwaved and soggy, it came with two spoonfuls of watery beans and some token salad on the side. It was like a child’s meal and at £6.45 each did not feel like good value for money. We had a look around the centre and they had some lovely indoor pots but yikes they were so expensive!! We retreated having felt like we’d been ripped off enough for one day.

This garden centre is a lot bigger than you realise with hundreds of plants for indoor and outdoor, craft things as well as all the pots etc etc that you need for the garden. The cafe was accessible for a wheelchair with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the weather.

We stopped here for lunch today and sat in the garden enjoying the lovely sunshine! - our baguettes, one prawn and avocado the other, cheese and pickle were delicious! The service is friendly and the plates were nicely presented with salad and crisps. Fair prices, good quality food and a pleasant setting.

Called in for breakfast, and found that the content had reduced, but not the price (hash browns are now extra). The quality is still good, pleasant staff, prompt service, and still decent value for money, BUT now they lack a cleaner for the toilet (not a nice experience), and, bizarrely for a garden centre, the cafe garden is decidedly scruffy, with unmown grass and prevalent weeds (photos)! Sloppy!

We visited for a breakfast, we had coffee with scrambled egg on toast. The coffee was nice but the scrambled egg was average at best, it had been over done in the microwave and was rubbery. It’s a shame as on previous visits the breakfast has been great.

Upon entering the car park we had a slight problem finding a parking spot. It was so busy! The plants and variety of goods on offer was overwhelming. The bedding plants and seasonal plants were of good quality. Although the overall opinion was that it was a tad expensive we were impressed. There was a lot of dust on some merchandise leading us to believe that it had been there a long time. However we found it really interesting.

Visiting at least few times a year and the cakes are always fresh and delicious. On my last visit, however, I noticed several tables not cleared up and those cleared up were not clean. People kept wiping the tables themselves. It was a Sunday visit but the cafe wasn't very busy.

The Garden Centre is modest but handy, although I think the venue makes most of its money from the (private) nurseries behind the Centre, so it's not as commercial as some venues. The cafe, in an adjacent building, is clean and comfortable (although the heating could have been better!), with a range of home-made cakes etc. We had breakfast which was reasonably priced and freshly prepared. All the staff were pleasant and we would happily recommend this to others.

This is a very welcome cafe facility within a small, successful garden centre. I have eaten here twice recently and can recommend it. The first time, we sat inside. The premises are small, but it was fine. The second time was a sunny day and we chose to sit outside in the peaceful, enclosed, more spacious grassed area. The food and service were good. I thought the afternoon scone & tea sounded very good value, although haven't tried it yet.

I would consider this cafe to be nearer Stowmarket than Needham Market. A very good garden centre with the added bonus of a small cafe. We made the mistake of placing an order as we walked in at the counter but had we found a seat and then read the menu we would have chosen a cream tea each! Never mind the cakes that we did choose were very nice and the staff were very friendly too!

The owner of this place does not have a clue about running a business which includes giving polite, courteous customer service because she has none of these skills! Off hand, flippant and down right rude are skills she is good at. The staff they employ are inexperienced, ignorant and lacking any customer skills also. Asked if they could serve a flat white coffee they responded, “never heard of it” and when we asked what beer they had the waitress said one in a bottle with a red label and one with a blue label. Unbelievable! Overpriced and the food is very mediocre, we cook better and tastier at home. Never go again and would never recommend. Tip for owner, go on a management course to help your inexperienced staff and while there learn some customer service skills.

Why anyone would choose to call a cafe Tickety Boo is beyond me but the food is good and you don't eat the name! Very strange and off-putting style where they take your money before you eat - which meant we didn't order any cake after our meal as we couldn't be bothered to queue and pay all over again. None of the diners I've seen in here look like the type that would run off without paying! Despite this the food really was excellent and I will be back for more.
