Salt N Pepper bistro cafe in Ipswich - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The best lunch we've had in Ipswich for many years! An unassuming café just a couple of minutes walk from the high street. Excellent food and great music. Highly recommend a visit if you're in Ipswich.

Lovely little place, good choice of food on offer for a decent price. We went for the Turkish breakfast and were not disappointed. It was huge and flavoursome. The customer service was faultless. Will definitely be visiting again

We had a really delicious breakfast and we left full to bursting. Staff were also really welcoming and helpful. 10/10 would recommend

A fantastic Eggs Benedict and coffee. Would share a picture but I've eaten it all up.

Food is absolutely amazing, and I love the fact the manu is changed every now and then! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great little cafe. Lovely breakfast. Perfect poached eggs and smashed avocado on an English muffin. Highly recommend.

Had the double breakfast with an Americano. Coffee was fresh proper coffee and food was freshly made to order and was very nice!! Friendly and helpful owner. Would certainly return next time I'm in Ipswich.

Nice cafe! We had a lovely lunchtime fried breakfast.

Lovely breakfasts in the centre of town. And a lovely heater above the front door on cold days. 👌

Stopped off briefly on the way back to the car after shopping. What a nice little spot. Had an egg bap and oj. The bap was lovely not your usual cheap roll but a more rustic one. Eggs cooked to perfection. The orange juice was probably twice as big as many cafes serve. Signs say that there may be a wait but it wasn't as bad as expected. Will come again.

A lovely coffee, and delightfully friendly staff :)

always lovely to grab breakfast/lunch from here!!!

No assistance dogs allowed Should be reported!

A great choice for Saturday morning breakfast by the Mrs. Good location opposite NCP car park, with an extensive menu. Very friendly service! Portions were perfect, and the spinach omelette just WOW. Highly recommended.

Freshly cooked food !!! Came for lunch with my daughter and it was Amazing x

Lovely cafe for a nice coffee , friendly service good price and very clean ,not tried food yet but I'm sure I will soon ..

Quick coffee and cake would go again. Friendly staff

Came here last second with my wife and son 10months old, made like warm beans for him and came out perfectly. Really cooked to perfection allowed me to swap things that I have ordered at a very good price 10 items + a drink £16. Coffee and everything else came out perfectly I couldn’t recommend this place anymore ! Support a small business and pop in you won’t be disappointed

We stumbled across this place and so glad we did! We had the Turkish breakfast and it was totally divine! He was happy to have swapped the olives if we had mentioned they weren’t our fave. Very friendly service, a fulfilling meal and heathy too.

Never been before but very welcoming. Nice service. I only had chips but the other meals I saw served looked nice and plentiful.

Amazing place. It's always quiet. The food is incredible and beyond what you would expect from a cafe. Serves some of the best chicken in Ipswich!

Nice relaxing coffee before work...

The food is ALWAYS delicious and is mine and my husband's go to for a fry up or even just a nice cup of tea, the cafe is immaculate and the couple that own it are incredibly friendly, they remember us and take a genuine interest in us always asking how we've been and how our kids are if they're not with us. 5 stars in every category!!

always a great place for breakfast or lunch, and always great service :)

Just amazing.. we chose the cafe based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was freshly cooked and hot. The best cappuccino I've ever had too. Thank you for such a lovely visit. We are planning a return visit soon.

Lovely staff, excellent service and food, very convenient for parking, 2 minute walk from city centre

My wife Sally and I are regulars at Salt N Pepper - its excellent service, reasonable prices and convenient location to the town centre make it a favourite stop off for us. The couple who run it themselves are very friendly and hard working. Last Saturday our son, and his wife and son were visiting us, so we went to SnP, and we had a lovely time, with the food and service as top-notch as ever.

Amazing home cooked food and drinks - there is something for everyone here - English classics cooked to perfection or Turkish dishes that are absolutely delicious. Coffees also great. Awesome service too - lovely family run cafe that makes you feel very welcome and wanting to come back for more - before you know it you'll be a regular and the owners are such kind and generous people - it's more than a job for them, they want you to be happy with their beautiful food.

Top notch freshly cooked food. Quite randomly passed this place today and so glad we called in. I had a Turkish Breakfast which was awesome, plentiful and so much healthier than the usual fayre cafes churn out. Super friendly service and a refreshing change. Menu is customisable and excellent. Well done Guys, may you prosper👍

Had a lovely late breakfast of eggs royal and decaf tea 🍵. Very good quality service and experience.

Wow just Wow 😍 the food here is amazing. The best omelette I’ve ever had. I eat out a lot as i work all over the country and this bistro is one of the best I’ve ever been too. Lovely family run business and wonderful service. Thank you :)

Absolutely amazing staff, very welcoming and their food is absolutely fantastic

Spent nearly four hours here and had an awesome breakfast, wonderful apple pie and custard and many cups of tea. I was made to feel very welcome and will definitely be returning!

We stopped in today and am so glad we picked it to eat. Such a lovely, warm, friendly service and the food was so good. It filled us all up a treat. The mocha coffee was so tasty that I had to have another. Next time I'm in Ipswich, I'll be heading there for lunch again. Thanks, guys and girls ♥️

Honestly can't give enough credit to the owners of this amazing café. They always go out of thier way to make me and my daughter feel welcome and the food is always outstanding. If I go out for food this place will always be my first choice.

Brill brekkie .. Brill staff.. loverly experience.. fresh food Best in Ipswich .

Nice staff.good food. Comfortable atmosphere.

The Turkish houmas breakfast was a very generous size and well presented

Lovely place hidden around the corner from main street, Very friendly staff, fantastic value and large portions

Great quality food, great service, great ambiance for families... That's like, 3 greats.

If you are searching for a warm and friendly place for breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend this jewel in the crown of cafe's located in the heart of town centre. From the moment you walk in, this husband & wife team treat you as one of the family and their smiles are infectious. The food is 2nd to none with an excellent selection of British & Turkish cuisine.

I don't often get the chance to stop by but am always glad for the warm reception and relaxing environment here, not to mention the delicious food cooked to order.

Lovely little cafe with very friendly owners who always chat to me or say when I walk past, absolutely adore their breakfast which I always go back for! 😋

Very nice and cosy place for breakfast and lunches. They serve here Turkish dishes as well. The music is very calming and you are able to talk with your friends. The place was not too busy.

One of the friendliest places I've been to and lovely food!

A fantastic alternative to your chain retailers on offer in the town. Not only was the food fantastic with very generous portions, I got the sense that the proprietors had a real care for their regular customers. Indeed, on my first visit I entered in to a conversation with them and felt welcomed and warmed by my interaction. They are clearly a part of the community and their message to shop local and thereby ensure the proceeds of the sale circulate back in to the local community is something we should all try to do as much as possible. By the way the cilbir was delicious and not something I had before.

I've just been here for the first time and found it to be an excellent café. The menu is broad and the food was cooked superbly and was piping hot when served. Very good range of drinks. And also the lady who served us was absolutely lovely. This is one of the best cafés in Ipswich

Great food and great service! The staff are very friendly and always remember us when we come in. Will be back soon :)

Brilliant cafe!! SUPER clean, vegetarian meal was HUGE, had to get "doggybag".... Great prices and owners very nice... Will be my go-to place for lunch from now on!

Great coffee and a 5 star service!

A real gem. We stopped for breakfast. A massive range of options from British staples through (healthier) Turkish options which come with bottomless cups of tea/coffee. The eggs benedict would not be out of place in a Four Seasons. Prices are reasonable. Quality is high. Service is cheerful and efficient. Wished we had discovered it sooner.

Excellent gem of a café / restaurant. Food is excellent and well priced. The owners are very attentive, polite and professional. If you're in the area, you won't get much better

We stopped in here for drinks today and it was lovely! Great smoothies and milkshakes. Just wish we hadn't had lunch elsewhere or we would have definitely eaten here as the food looked amazing too!

For sure my FAVOURITE place to eat out in town. Absolutely love it. Every time I go there I have the eggs royale and they.re always just delicious. The restaurant is always open to replace small things in your meal (like if you have a full English breakfast like my SO usually does, you can trade the tomato for an extra hash brown). I always feel welcomed there and the atmosphere is really friendly. Would strongly recommend.

You are always greeted with a smile behind the mask 😷 Always great fresh food and Coffee perfect service. This is our favourite please to eat in ipswich If you like good food then visit the cafe as soon as you can.salt N peper.

Excellent food and service from excellent staff. Good value for money also. Was very pleased. Keep it up guys.

Was in the area of ipswich and tried this coffee shop first time and the food was very tasty. Will definitely visit again, prices were very reasonable and there was plenty choices on menu. I highly recomend anyone in area to visit for quality food.

Gr8 food, gr8 coffee, gr8 service, gr8 people

Great coffee, delicious food and another excellent local business to support during lockdown.

Brilliant service and food, always go there now as no need to go anywhere else.

Best panninis in town! Fresh food, good service. Can be a bit slow but food is cooked from fresh so it is well worth the wait. pleasant staff happy to help with fussy eaters!

A nice and simple cafe. Popped in for a quick coffee and "fruit tea". Avoiding costa etc as trying to shop local. No issues at all and feels like a genuine place with smiling staff/owners?

Enjoyed one of the Turkish breakfasts, very tasty and full of flavour. Perfectly poached eggs too. Good value for money and the service was very good and very friendly. Will return.

Service was pretty slow, I ordered a sandwich, bread was stale the sausage was tasteless, the worst part Wass that they dont make you aware that they are going to put margarine all over your bread (wouldn't have minded if was actual butter) Was awful tasting had to force it down as was in a rush. The best thing about this place was the coffee which was actually pretty decent.

Its a place i frequent a least 3/4 times a week sometimes more, for me its perfect location for access with local parking close to hand.my custom is mainly for drinks beer wine etc but when i have eaten i have never been disappointed and the staff are always up for good chat, always excellent service 🍷🍺🍴👍

We recently visited the local area for a small vacation and stopped by here to have breakfast initially. Lovely service and food and a lovely family atmosphere. It was run by a family and you can see they put their heart into their work. We later decided to stop again on our way back home and never regreted it. Truly amazing food and a good variety of food. It caters to everyone. I will definitely recommend to all and promise, you wouldnt be disappointed

Recommend the chicken shish, it was amazing. Asked for it spicy and the chef made it perfect.

Really enjoyed my visit, all staff and very welcoming and know what they are talking about when it comes to the menu. The food was amazing and a very good price.

If you’re looking for tasty food, reasonable prices and wonderful staff then this is the place to go. The staff are so friendly and are happy to chat to everyone. There is always such a great atmosphere in the cafe. Every visit has been thoroughly enjoyable. I’d very much recommend it.

Despite only visiting once, I was blown away by the amazing customer service and instantly felt welcome! The food I ordered was prepared amazingly to a great quality. I would go again with friends and family without hesitation :)

The best Turkish food in Ipswich,and the most friendly staff. the food never fails to impress. Will definitely be going back.

Finally after 3 years of living in Ipswich I have found a cafe I will now always go to when in town and in need of food & drink! I have been 3 times now in the last 2 weeks since finding it! It is lovely & clean, staff very friendly and food fresh and delicious. I’ve had the Turkish food every time. Big portions and great value. Perfect!

Well prepared food, large menu, and good sized portions. A clean and well ventilated environment with extra privacy screens since easing of lock down.

A standard cafe that also adds Turkish dishes to the menu. Try the cilbir pronounced as chulberr. It’s a standout dish for me. It’s Turkish but I’ve never seen it anywhere else. It’s poached eggs sitting in a spicy and garlicky yoghurt. Worth supporting a local business.

Been there twice so far in the last two days and had an amazing cooked breakfast. Highly recommended. Friendly staff.

A well looked after and clean cafe. Excellent service and a delicious breakfast....Definitely worth it😁

What a wonderful cafe! The menu is an exciting mixture of traditional British and Turkish items, including a good range of breakfast dishes. We had menemen (eggs with peppers, tomatoes and toast) and cilbir (eggs with garlic yoghurt, herbs and toast) - both absolutely delicious. Everything is cooked from scratch and looks like it's made with love and it's very good value, great range of veggie options too. We wish they'd put a proper Turkish coffee on the menu but otherwise it's perfect! Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back..

Friendly staff and value for money

It seems to be settling down nicely after it's staff changes. It's a nice friendly place with good coffee and a tempting menu. A very down to earth and comfortable venue.

Brilliant food, brilliant value, brilliant guy cooking and serving.

Nice place. Good food. Good service.

My friend and I loved our food, and will definitely be visiting again and more often! The staff are so happy and friendly, certainly worthy of a tip :)

Food was delicious and great value. Very nice, calm, atmosphere. All-day DIY breakfast is a fantastic concept. Superb service. Highly recommended.

Als je snel een lekkere lunch wil nuttigen, dan is dit een prima plek.Geen verassende kaart, maar alles is wel vers en lekker klaargemaakt. Daarnaast is het ook nogeens goedkoop.De zaak is keurig en de bediening vriendelijk.

Great tasty breakfasts and light lunches. Pleasant ambience and friendly service

What an excellent spot for breakfast! The helpings are huge, the food freshly cooked and delicious. Staff were very pleasant and we liked it so much we had breakfast here every morning of our stay.

Really lovely small cafe, food is lovely and tasty, has a wide range of food on the menu. Staff are friendly, clean and tidy. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Came into ipswich yesterday with my sister, she often goes on her breaks to this lovey little café when at work , well I went with her and was not disappointed the food was cooked from scratch and very tasty at a very reasonable price , I will be going again .

Have delicouse paninis and shakes and I will definitely be going again.

Have walked past this new little cafe a few times and initially popped in for a take out coffee . They do lavazza !! Menu looked so good we decided to try a brunch . Fab food , really good price ... this will be my favourite coffee shop in ipswich now ... try it !

very good food highly recommended it is worth coming here and give it a try

Had 2 excellent lunches here the other day. Very good choice of meals at really good prices. Would definitely recommend this establishment, not just for a sandwich and cake but for a really tasty meal.

I visit about once a month and each time the food is always fresh and the portions are very good and fills you up. I will continue visiting when around in Ipswich and reccomend this place to all.

I’ve visited this place twice now over a period of three months. Today I ordered beef burger and chips. The food was fresh and the burger homemade. Delicious. Very pleasant, polite staff and good value. Will visit again.

Really good tasty food and the coffee was great too. Nice, clean interior and the staff were lovely and friendly too. Would definitely recommend this bistro.

We searched all over the place for somewhere to eat near the theatre. Finally, we stumbled across the Salt n Pepper cafe and decided to give it a go- don’t be fooled by appearances: this is a honest and lovely cafe. It has a 5 star hygiene rating and was clearly popular with other customers. The waitress and chef were very friendly, the menu was perfect for lunch and very reasonably priced (£3.65 for a baguette). Our lunch was well made and yummy- even my mother, who usually finds fault with everything, was impressed! They claim to have the best coffee in ipswich- a claim my mother said was true! If we ever go back to Ipswich we will absolutely go back again. Well done Salt n Pepper:)

Very clean food very tasty very kindly staff and very Cheap.
