Sizewell Beach Cafe in Suffolk Coastal

Brilliant - Great location and good hearty food. Enjoy a trip out to the beach and one of the best jacket potatoes you can find. Endorsed by a friend over from Switzerland. Thank you, you never let us down

lovely people, simple proper caff food, love coming here and going for a walk or a swim in the summer, sometimes see seals

The sauté potatoes here are the best in the world , don't miss them , try top avoid 9-10 amsaturdays as busy due to local park run

This was our favourite cafe until latest visit. Food and hot drinks now served in plastic and cardboard, and have to order from outside window, even in the rain, sorry, no longer for me. I guess some may like it though, as later in the day, landfill bins outside overflowing with disposable plastic and cardboard cups/mugs and crockery.

The cafe served me an excellent lunch of Ham, egg and chips washed down with diet coke and after I had a cup of tea and a cake. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Sizewell Tea is our absolute favourite little spot for a relaxing snack after a swim in the sea. With super friendly staff, loads of outdoor seating, lots of parking and the best chips in Suffolk! We love the retro look of the cafe and its unique location and delicious food always make for a wonderful day out. Highly recommended.

Great little cafe, right on the beach. On the recommendation of a local we had bacon butties after finishing the Parkrun. I’m so glad we did - they were among the best bacon butties I’ve ever had. Coffee was good too and a great selection of cold drinks and ice-creams.

Ace food in a unique historic setting run by just lovely people. The egg and bacon sandwich is the best I’ve had . Emma and the team are hard working normal people . I go there often and it’s always the same .. there’s nowhere like this place in England … the fugly power plant , the wat memorial to the brave Dutch , the history of smugglers and we2 defences .. and this traditional British cafe in the middle !! Appreciate this but of our culture whilst we can . To the previous Charles H , your a bigot and a fool . Don’t make stuff up about fantasy owners . These people are good honest hard working .

After bringing 35 passengers in a coach to sizewell beach, I found that the cafe (and the pub) were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays??? I fail to understand why in the peak season that they need 2 days closure. There were several people on the beach for one of the hottest days of the year.. and no refreshments. You've basically got a couple of months of proper summer in the UK, so surely you should "make hay while the sun shines" I'm sure it's a very nice cafe, but disappointed that it wasn't open. The owners obviously just bought it as a hobby and don't really need the money.

Excellent and very polite service at this unassuming beach cafe. Special mention to the lovely chap in a peaked cap and tie, who served us at the counter. Food piping hot and well cooked. What more could you ask for, after a bracing walk on the beach?

After parkrun on the beach next door, popped in for some drinks. Seems qute popular with parkrunners. Very good experience.

A group of us ‘Bikers’ who use this cafe all the time and I’ve never bothered to leave a review. Well here goes… Marvellous…Great Food, Great Service and a Great Price. Highly recommended

Cycled over to Sizewell beach after hearing a recommendation of it and found this place. I only had a cup of tea and piece of flapjack but it was a good cup of tea and a good piece of flapjack enjoyed in a lovely localiion

Had a late lunch here after a beach walk . Outside seating and great views. Food always really good . Always good service too . Thanks 😊

Surrounded by people enjoying breakfast rolls this looked like a good bet for coffee. Unfortunately both the Latte and Cappuccino looked like flat white but upon tasting there was barely a hint of coffee. Would have returned to get them replaced but the queue was 15 deep so poured two cups of warm milk away and retreated to Thorpeness for a tasty brew. Possibly just bad luck but £5.40 for 2 undrinkable coffees was a disappointment.

Opposite the car park just before the beach is this tea room. Nothing fancy, no frills, but conveniently located. It serves the usual assortment of goodies and is well placed to refresh the beach goers after a a stroll down the very extensive beach.

Enjoyed our first walk at Sizewell and pit stop at the Sizewell Cafe. Best crispy bacon baps we've had in ages and ordering and collection was well organised during covid restrictions. We look forward to our next visit very soon.

Stopped at the amusingly named Sizewell T(ea) for a quick coffee while on a walk in the area (see map). Friendly service with full Covid-19 precautions. We were able to sit outside which was an added bonus. Will definitely visit again if we are passing.

Excellent cafe in a beautiful part of the world. Their bacon baps are perfection; lovely cups of tea; and very warm and friendly welcomes. Great to see them thriving in the current climate.

The cafe is managing the Covid rules very safely and sensibly. Very friendly, relaxed service. . You eat outside at picnic tables, your name is called when your food is ready to collect- it all feels fine. Most importantly, the food is still delicious and good value. Whether you're about start a walk, are half way through or just finished, this is a great place to add to your enjoyment of a day out on the beautiful Suffolk coast

Four of us visited the beach and wanted to eat before our walk. Three fish and chips, with salad, and one jacket potato which was covered with plenty of proper cheese! All agreed food was delicious, hot, good sized helpings and there wasn't a long wait either. We will definitely be going back.

I went there last week and the scampi and chips were amazing but very expensive for what they are I would very recommend you go in there and it is under new management and the food is amazing so I would highly recommend coming here I’m just trying out again because it is amazing staff are very friendly.

We went back to Sizewell Tea for the first time since it has re-opened due to Covid-19. they are doing take away food ordered at the cafe window, with picnic tables available to eat outside and disposable wooden cutlery. Although there is a reduced menu the food remains of high quality. As a vegetarian I have eaten many veggie burgers, most are grim, however the lentil burger served here was possibly the best tasting burger I have eaten anywhere and definitely not an after-thought like veggie burgers so often are. I would highly recommend it.

Saw the reviews on tripadvisor and made a special trip over. Was not disappointed. Great place 😇 Amazing bacon sandwich, would definitely return 👍

Visited this gem of a cafe during a recent half term trip to the Leiston area. Really nice cafe to spend some time away from the October weather whilst visiting Sizewell beach.Very friendly staff; huge pots of tea; absolutely delicious bacon sandwich; and a great selection of cakes. Visited twice in two days and will hopefully be back again in the future.

Great place to stop for breakfast Fresh cooked food great coffee Friendly service plenty of seating Right on the beach with miles of walking

Good selection on menu to suit all. Although they were busy we couldnt fault the service and staff were willing to change an option on the child's menu. The food was excellent, very tasty and served speedily which always helps when you have a little one on board. I was especially taken with my falafel burger and the chips were outstanding Ham eggs and brunch were also said to be very good and kids beans on toast was perfect size and for a particular eater he ate nearly all of it There was a fab selection of homemade cakes and ice creams for pud. Looking forward to returning very soon!!

We stumbled across this cafe a few years ago on our last trip to Suffolk, but it was top of the list for places to return to this year. It’s a proper cafe breakfast, no fuss, lots of food, good value, more tea than you can shake a stick at and yummy! Well worth a stop off.

Excellent tasty breakfast to start the day followed by walk along the beach a stones throw away, beautiful area

We went for breakfast and what a breakfast, there’s not much more to say but I’ll try, ordered a tea and it came in a pot enough for 3 mugs of tea with two tea bags so no weak tea here and plant to go with your breakfast , the food was fantastic especially the potatoes would we go again YES it’s also very close to the beach which on the day we went was quiet the cafe is closed on Monday and Tuesdays

We stopped for a light lunch after a walk along the beach . Friendly and efficient staff and very quick service . Lovely well filled sandwiches and good cake and hot drinks including large pot of tea.Hot meals looked good too.Very impressive for a small beach side cafe. Thoroughly recommend.

After enjoying a walk along the beach and clifftops from Thorpeness we settled down in the afternoon sunshine to enjoy a drink and a cake before the walk back. Friendly service and tasty offerings this makes for a good venue with a choice of snacks or larger meals as required. Seating available either inside or out and adjacent to the beach and car park. Toilet facilities located next to the cafe.

I've been here for lunch on a Saturday a few times now, and no matter how busy the cafe is the service is always quick and the staff very friendly. The food is great value for money, the portion sizes are huge (I'm a foodie but even I have never been able to finish my plate)

Having visited the Sizewell Nuclear Power Station, we stopped off for a picnic at the nearby beach.

What a little gem. A lovely walk along the beach and sand dunes and a stop off here.

My parents retired to Suffolk from London in 2013. This is the best breakfast I had in Suffolk (or for that matter London/anywhere...) Very generous portions, tasty food and beautiful views. Beyond that, the staff are amazing (all young, very hard working and friendly) and you can walk off brunch wandering along the beach to Aldeburgh. A real gem.

We popped in for some bacon butties.. was very busy which was a good sign. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. Food was excellent and quick to arrive. Will be going back this weekend. *****

First visit of the season as it is shut during winter , food and service as good as ever, seating inside and outside. Dog friendly and right next to the beach

If we fancy a walk along Sizewell beach then we always pop in here for something to eat. The food is very nice and the young staff work hard for their money. It has a nice outlook and as 'old bikers' we enjoy looking at the motor bikes that always turn up there. I am looking forward to it opening in March.

There's such a peaceful atmosphere about Sizewell. Great for dog walkers and dogs of all shapes ad sizes. What can be better than a cafe - which allows one to sit and enjoy great food, with their dog beside them. The breakfasts at Sizewell T are amazing. What I love is the fried potatoes and my vegetarian plateful for a reasonable price. How we miss this establishment between October's end and the beginning of March. The sight, each Sunday of the bikers of indeterminable ages - enjoying an excellent fry-up! Such friendly staff, is surely a bonus!

What an amazing place to have breakfast . The staff are friendly, the service is fast. The tea is reasonably priced and you get 2 good mugs for less than £2 . There’s no better place for miles.

My experience on Sunday was a very pleasant onel compared to previous summer visits there. The young ladies on duty were exceptionally courteous and professional. A tribute to your establishment!

Probably the best bacon butties (with extra bacon!!) in the world!!

Really enjoyed the full English breakfast. It was very busy but we didn't have to wait long. There's plenty of room outside where we sat with the dog. Friendly staff. Worth a visit.

What a great place to eat breakfast after a run along the beach , really great breakfast , served promptly and with a smile . The potatoes alone were worth the visit, and the tea was excellent , You can eat out side or inside . The cakes looked worth a try next time .

Called in today, Friday 24th for quick snacks. The place was "buzzing" visitors & workers having Breakfasts & snacks. We had coffee/cake/Bacon Bap, good quality/good price & good service we will return for a Breakfast or lunch on our next visit.

Called in here for a quick breakfast whilst out on the motorbike. English breakfast and a coffee for a little over £7... excellent food and excellent coffee. Service with a smile and a nice vibe among the customers. Will be making this a regular trip

My hubby and I had heard good things about this place so opted to give it a try on Sunday morning after a walk on the beach with the dogs. I think we must have caught you on a bad day! The place had an air of grubbiness about it, the tables certainly wernt as clean and shiny as the ones in the pictures on here and we could barely see out of the windows as they are so filthy! Our coffees wernt hot, and our cooked breakfasts were swimming in grease. The sugar was in a bowl on the table left uncovered with numerous flies buzzing around. Im really sorry, but we wont be coming back.

Always look forward to annual lunch here during our 2 weeks in Suffolk. Excellent Suffolk ham and chips. Good service - highlight of our holiday !

This little tea room dies not look much but it’s so well placed for a great breakfast, pot of tea/coffee and cake or a lunch. Freshly repaired good quality beach food. One of the best cups of tea I’ve had in a long time, and a big pot as well!

Very decent choice of tasty sandwiches served in the shadow of the Sizewell Power Station. Memorial to Dutch Kayakers from 1941 nearby.

We have a static caravan on Cakes and Ale and regularity visit this cafe. Having read some of the reviews about the prices I am shocked. The coffee is always fresh and reasonably priced, and comes with a complimentary biscuit. I work in London and you could not get the same quality coffee any cheaper. The staff are very friendly and there is always a very warm welcome. If you are walking on Sizewell beach this cafe is a must.

After a long walk along the beach from Thorpeness we found this cafe. As it was lunch time we had the fish & chips, which was lovely. Freshly cooked and delicious. We sat outside in the sunshine and were chatting with the locals and everyone was so friendly. A great little find on the beach. We look forward to returning here very soon.

How expensive! Costs more for a coffee in here than in London! 50p extra for soya milk. Costly exercise!

Fantastic cooked breakfast at the cafe this morning - despite being extremely busy the staff were happy and the food came without much delay - absolute gem of a place

We visited 3 times during our week holiday in Suffolk. The breakfast is amazing and the lunch is fab too. The staff are great and very welcoming. Free WiFi! Do give this place a visit!!

I was 2/3 the way through a 50 mile bike ride when I did a detour to Sizewell beach. Seeing the tearoom was a real blessing. Good food and lovely tea.

Nice little cafe on the beach. Food ok and very convenient for Sizewell beach. There is not much else around

Called in for a traditional English breakfast and was not disappointed. Very tasty with a great traditional “pot of tea for two”. Very friendly service, clean and welcoming. Will be back for more!

What a shame this cafe was closed in February half-term, especially as it was a splendid sunny week. Having walked along the beach and coastal path from Thorpeness and spotted the Cafe we were full of hope! A bowl of soup or even just a coffee would have gone down very well. It would have been a long walk on to Dunwich beach cafe.

Best breakfast in Suffolk!!! Lovely! Great staff, nice sunny day on Christmas Eve. Good affordable prices and perfect breakfast!

Went for a walk along the beach and stopped here for refreshments. Friendly staff, good tea and coffee with a nice selection of delicious cake.

Great breakfast. Lovely jackets. Lovely staff. Has a good selection of ice-creams too to take out after on the beach. Nice to be able to sit out side and eat near beach too. Although small selection of cold drinks and could do with tables being wiped/ cleared after every person.

Pick your time as opening hours are restricted but worth a visit - good breakfasts. Only just off the beach but with good car parking adjacent.

Found Sizewell by accident on a recent visit to suffolk. So weird seeing the nuclear plant alongside the sea and...

this place really does a seriously good breakfast. either inside or out it's all good. the portions are huge and...

A welcome place to get out of the werather if it is a bit rough. very nice food and light...

Just along the beach from Sizewell A and Sizewell B power stations is Sizewell T. After a brisk walk along...

Love this place, been here a few times always 5 out of 5. Never any screaming kids, always civilized, great...

We love love love this place! The breakfast is superb and such good value. Never disappoints. Lovely staff and service too so must be a happy team! Will always go back when we camp at Sizewell!

We had a nice lunch here whilst visiting the area. Doesn't look great from the outside but kind of goes with the surrounding area and nearby 60s built power station. Something retro-bleak about the whole experience!But don't be put off by the exterior, the lunch was good and reasonably priced.

A quiet, nice, unspoilt little tea room next to lovely quiet Sizewell beach. We had a lolly, cake and tea/coffee. Both served by a pleasant member of staff and a welcome break while out in the local area.

Great menu choices everything homemade, you can eat in or out we sat outside on one of the many picnic tables, very speedy service and of course very Dog Friendly. Best place for walkies with your dog's too all year round.

First time visiting the tearooms and was not disappointed. We found some seats and read through the menu. And then i went up and enquired if the ham, egg and chips were gluten free which they were. After much deliberation we ordered food and drink. The member of staff was very friendly and our food arrived within 5 minutes. The pot of tea allowed me to have 3 big mugs. Great value for money!

Great place to sit out and have tea and a sandwich on a warm day. Very helpful and friendly staff provide a good quality seaside cafe menu, perfect beachside stop off

After long walk unexpectedly good food in delightful old style cafe with sandwiches cooked food teas and excellent salad. Benches out sheltered from wind made for agreat pitstop.

Pleasant girls,coffee good and lemon cake just great.Sat outside,they brought it out promptly-seemed nothing was too much trouble.

provided a very good cup of coffee and a welcome sit down. meals looked good but we did try them at that time.

Annual visit for lunch. Walk up the beach to sea Black Redstart then super ham egg and chips and a pot of tea ! Can't beat it !

A fairly basic, no frills sort of cafe, but good service, nice lunch and quick service even though very busy. I loved the old fashioned tea pots and there was a good friendly atmosphere. Right by the car park so handy if walking an issue. We had toasted sandwiches

We have been going here on and off for over 25 years and it's still basic ,friendly with excellent old fashioned food at great prices.Everything including the cakes is home made.Fish and chips excellent.Seats outside.Dogs are welcomed and there's always a bowl of water for them.The decor,although quiet tired adds to its charm.The smell of deep frying is always welcoming after a long walk along the beach in the shadow of Sizewell.its not open 7 days a week.....Wednesday to Sunday.

Met family here to have breakfast before a beachcombing trip, bacon sandwich and a shared breakfast and we were ready to go...and then went back for lunch afterwards. Really freshly made and great price too. Wil definitely be back.

A Fantastic wholesome fresh breakfast after a long walk on the beach, adults and kids tucked in to A full English and fresh juice and coffee, what can you ask for!!Wonderful. May the Greasy spoon live on!!

Very handy cafe by the seaside. We only stopped for a Hot Chocolate and a meet up with friends. Chocolate was excellent and service good.

Really impressed with this beach cafe. Good veggie options and locally sourced bacon and sausages. Pity it's not open more days of the week and for longer hours. Everyone deserves a rest though!

The car park near the cafe is only £1 for all day! We called in quite late in the afternoon so the cakes available were few but still ok! They have an extensive menu on offer! There are plenty of outside seating as well as many inside too. There is a loo block next to the cafe which is only yards from the beach!

Serving great Latte's and a lovely selection of cakes amongst other things. Good service and a great location.

This place is a gem of a find . Nestled under the awesome view of Sizewell Power Station is this friendly , well run teashop. You can walk the dog along a pebble beach or walk the sand dunes at the foot of the power station. Even when the carpark is packed the area doesn't seem packed...loads of places for kids to run safely , then when you are tired go back to the Tea Shop foe a light lunch / cake ...ice cream or just a cup of tea. You are greeted with a warm welcome whatever you order . Families catered for , water for dogs provided as is out door seating. Brilliant place .

We only stopped here for a cuppa. We were going to have lunch but thought it was a little expensive so can't comment on the food . We also had our dog with us and didn't see any dog bowls! We ate around the corner instead!

Despite being really busy service was very good. Toasted sandwich's were excellent. Being here many times and always good value. Close to the coast so good to visit after a nice walk.

Lovely cafe by the seafront. Very nice staff, really clean and plenty of seating inside and out, they cater for dog water bowls (not that we need them!) for all the dog walkers. Some of the prices are a bit expensive, but being the only one there - they can be! Good cuppa and a bacon roll though!

We visited here last summer and were disappointed that it wasn't open yet after the winter break but thoroughly recommend it to anybody in the area having a stroll along the beach The fresh food and snacks and drinks were wonderful. Well worth a visit.

This is a real beachside café. Staff are friendly, food delicious and plenty of other people agree, judging on the amount of locals using it. It is not posh and it doesn't need to be. Lovely

we were surprised at the crowds at this little beach cafe. Sitting in the sun drinking tea and eating cake we could soon see why it was so popular. Fantastic breakfasts and lunches were served and when you have been for a long walk along the coast this cafe certainly knows how to hit the spot!

I love this place. The food is excellent, whether you're after a bacon roll or a full English (veggie or normal). There is seating outside as well as indoors and it's right by the beach.

Great little cafe by the sea.Good menu at reasonable prices. A welcoming cup of tea after a walk along the coast

Have been here a few times for drinks/lunch/snacks/cakes/icecreams.Great little place to drop in when visiting the quieter beach at Sizewell (always crazy busy at Thirpeness and Aldeburgh).Very impressed with food/service/choice/price.Plenty of parking nearby.

Love a full English and hot tea/coffee after a bracing walk on the beach? Then this will not fail to please, lovely place with very tasty food.

Lovely and everything freshly cooked. Owner on site which is great business practice. Breakfast is great just a shame shut some weekdays! ☺

Sat down for a cuppa and discovered that this was a cafe with a difference. It wasn't your ordinary everyday beach cafe. We had to queue for a table, and then ordered our coffee & cake. Very well worth the wait. Sitting outside had the advantage of being able to have the dog with you. Water bowls provided. Top notch.
