South Kiosk At Martello Park in Suffolk Coastal

Covid has caused a lot of problems in maintaining standards but by now I would have thought things should be back to normal. Tea used to be served in a pot and coffee in proper cups and plates for food. Now we have paper cups for tea and coffee and cakes are given out just wrapped in cling-film. No table service any more as you have to wait for your order to be prepared and handed to you. The food is still good but the whole experience is not worth walking the length of the prom. There used to be more tables and with parasols on the hot days - but no more. I think they need to get back to the standards they used to have as people will go to the new cafe's that are opening.

Pretty much what it says in the title they don't like children they absolutely hate children with autism. Disgusting should be ashamed.

Stopped here for the first time today and was lured in by the smell of the coffee. Very nice mocha, tempting looking cake. A nice quiet spot to sit and contemplate the sea.

We often stop here for coffee and cake ., but I can really recommend their sausage rolls , delicious .

My sister and I enjoy the coffee and also there is normally a choice of gluten free cakes which not many places offer. It is served by very friendly staff and if the weather is good we can enjoy taking our coffee and cake to the beach!

A great place to buy a drink, cake or sausage roll, friendly efficient staff, well run, reasonable price. has just been decorated and looks great. Visit frequently, at least weekly never had a bad experience.

Great place to have a coffee and cake and relax staff a1 sit in the right place you have a view of the sea .sadly some people have taken the blankets home with them these people have given there time for you to steal so sad .the kiosk is the best place to go

Visited on boxing day whilst enjoying a walk with our dogs. Lovely cappuccino and hot chocolate. Seating at the front of the kiosk with blankets to keep you warm on a chilly day. Only wish we had time to sample the cakes they looked delicious. Staff were very friendly.

Never knew this little kiosk existed. Stumbled across it on one of my walks along the prom. Fantastic homemade cakes, pastries, sausage rolls and lovely ice cream for those hot days too. Service is second to none. Extremely friendly and polite, can’t do enough for you. Well worth those extra steps to the end of the prom.

Home made cakes etc, always a good selection good coffee and tea served and they have Soya milk. So caters for most when the sun is out nice place to sit and enjoy a cuppa and a snack

On passing we had been told that this was a good pit stop, so here we are for the first and not the last visit. Very nice people using home baked ingredients and local produce where possible.

We've been customers for the past 3 years and the standard of food is high. Sausage rolls the best in town, good coffee and home made cakes. The only down side is that seating is outdoors and on wet or windy days it can be uncomfortable. I wish they could rig up some type of canvas roof/awning between the two kiosks.

Great place to stop for a reviving drink and snack. The cake, scones and sausage rolls are delicious and the service is really good. If it’s too chilly blankets are provided.

I eventually made it to this small but beautifully stocked establishment through the Felixstowe Foodies Group. With all the wonderful sunny weather we are having, what could be nicer than to sit around tables and enjoy home made cakes, delicious sausage rolls and real leaf tea in a teapot with uninterrupted views of the beach? The food is so good that I even drove from the town centre to purchase a slice of their Victoria Sponge and a Sausage Roll. Did I mention that you will also get a nice welcome when you find this little gem which is a lovely addition to the South Seafront in Felixstowe.

Visited while working in the area. Mesmerised by the fantastic looking cakes then spied the sausage rolls. Probably the tastiest sausage roll I’ve ever had.

A cheese scone a sausage roll a tea and a mocha £10.50. Yes it's all homemade and yes it was very nice but I'm afraid they will out price themselves out of business.

At the moment I just can't work out how I can return here as it is the last day of my holiday. The best fruit cake in a cafe EVER. Apparently the cheese scone wasn't bad either - husband's choice. The tea was proper tea leaves and a China cup. The sun shone. Perfect. All the other cakes looked fantastic. Very pleasant staff, order bought to our table.

Lovely place to stop for a break after walking the dog. Blankets available for cooler weather. Fresh water available for the dog. Friendly staff.

What a different kind of kiosk! Leaf tea, blankets, hot water bottles and the most delicious fruit cake.

Very good sausage rolls, probably the best in the world, if not better. If carlsburg did sausage rolls and cup of tea ☕. Doggy ice cream only a pound. Tip top.

My family and I went on a walk down on Felixstowe beach. It was a great day so we mucked about all day.The beach is good for that it sucks you in. On the way back to our cars we decided to get an ice cream. We stopped at the South Kiosk . They were about to close but were still able serve us with a smile. Thanks guys for the brilliant service.

We have visited South Kiosk numerous times and whenever we have friends visit from elsewhere in the UK we take them there to show off what great gem we have locally!

if you want delicious sausage rolls,delicious cakes,scones,tea,coffee,cold drinks,ice cream,lollipops this kiosk is well worth a visit,staff are polite and friendly,and allways welcome you to this kiosk at Martello park Felixstowe,suffolk

Real food snack kiosk. Great sausage rolls, cake and cheese scones and decent coffee and proper tea.

We love visiting South Kiosk at Martello Park, Kim and staff are always welcoming, the home made cakes and sausage rolls are amazing. We love the extra touches like the yummy chocolate biscuits served with hot drinks and proper tea in a proper tea pot! They also sell the most delightful ice cream! Well worth a visit if you are in Felixstowe!

I visit south kiosk every week with my grandchild as its local. I've always had great service and lovely cake and coffee. On s

Customer service non existent, got served by a rude lady, quite pricey for cold drinks. Could be a great place if standards improved as a nice location to sit and relax.

Visited with the children on the hottest day of the year and enjoyed a fantastic lunch with delicious ice cream to follow. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely return.

Very welcoming place, makes it a great environment for everybody visiting the establishment. Worth a visit if in the area.

Great atmosphere and very nice owners. Enjoyed a coffee and cake would definitely recommend. Went with friends on a day out.

Lovely little place to sit and have a cup of tea. Can't comment on the cakes as I haven't tried them, but in my opinion, well worth the visit for the sausage rolls alone.

Fantastic Place. I'm not a cake fan but they look amazing but the sausage rolls are something else...delicious (get in early though as they do sell out!).

Great coffee, fabulous cakes and home made sausage rolls to die for. Really couldn't fault the service and produce at the South Kiosk- will continue to support as often as I can.

I've visited here often, yes sometimes there is a queue and yes sometimes you have to wait for your order, however the cake is so good.... who cares? I think Kim, the owner is lovely too! I'll keep returning!

A quick stop off in some miserable spring weather after hearing good things. No sausage rolls left as they were about to close but the cake was really nice. Toffee apple cake for me. Really tasty!

This is not just any kiosk on the seashore but South Kiosk at Martello Towers! Here you can eat the best sausage rolls and the best cakes ever tasted whilst you drink your tea or coffee served in proper cups or mugs. Not your factory produce food but genuine home-made food cooked the same morning. Service with a welcoming smile and polite staff adds to the experience.

Lovely gem of a place, open all year and always busy. Fantastic sausage rolls. Dog friendly, always dog biscuits and water out for them, even do dog ice creams. Top quality produce all round, top ice cream, fine coffee, finest in the world sausage rolls, but you have to wait sometimes very long wait if busy. In the winter time they provide blankets and hot water bottles - brilliant idea. Use this place lots of times and in preference to the one next door.

Just came back from breakfast at South Kiosk and it was absolutelly perfect! My partner and I are very fussy about food, but we couldnt fine any fault in this place, everything homemade and so tasty (especially egg, leek an feta cheese tart)!

Coffee/tea and sausage rolls for a tasty snack on the seafront. Great spot on a sunny day. Blankets and hot water bottles available for chilly days.

This seafront 'cafe' near the Martello Tower in Felixstowe is well worth the visit, as is the recently refurbished Martello Tower itself. Kim has to be the friendliest, chattiest, happiest cafe owner in the world. This place has outdoor chairs and tables only, but if it's chilly, Kim will provide a hot water bottle and a blanket. The coffee is really excellent, the freshly made cakes and sausage rolls are really fantastic. Our kids love it and demand we go that way on every walk. There's a massive range of kids play area equipment along the front there as well - well worth a visit for families.

A new kiosk selling fab ice-cream/drinks in the summer. Great service... HOWEVER, just visited kiosk today - very cold/windy... guess what? Not only did they provided snuggly blankets for customers siiting having their drinks, not too many ice creams today (lol) they handed out hot bottles to customers in the queue to hug whilst waiting... now is that not the BEST SERVICE you ever heard of! So be sure to visit South Kiosk when visiting Felistowe...

Although seating is outside, hot water bottles and blankets are provided. Coffee and tea very good, We enjoyed very tasty sausage rolls (which looked homemade) and toffee apple cake. Wonderful for a Boxing Day treat

We went equipped with mulled wine in a flask but fancied something to eat and luckily stumbled across South Kiosk. Unfortunately completely sold out of hot food so we selected homemade cream scones instead and what a lovely alternative! Friendly staff, really clean and delicious homemade food. If you forget your sandwiches definitely stop here!!!

Only the best tea, coffee and hot chocolate served here along with absolutely delicious cakes, scones and sausage rolls. I always check their Facebook page to see when they are open over the winter months as the weather has an impact on whether they open or not. It is such a treat when they do! You get totally pampered with hot water bottles and comfy blankets to keep out the chill.

It was a long walk from Felixstowe station to the South Kiosk at Martello Park. Was it going to be open at this time of year? I had travelled from London to buy a special Xmas present for a very close friend. It was open and I got the present. The proprieter a lovely lady called Kim was astounded at my story. She made me a large fresh hot coffee and gave me a big chunk of fruit cake also a blanket to ward off the chill wind whilst we chatted. This was my second visit here, the first being in August. Fresh tea is served in a teapot with its own cosy and china cups and saucers, likewise coffee comes n cup and saucers not polystyrene a wide variety of delicious cakes and other fresh food is available.I reccomend a visit here for the food and drink and for the warmth of welcome from Kim and her staff. Walk or drive its worth it

Real tea in a teapot with a cup and saucer. Real Coffee. Home made cakes. Lovely place to make a stop.

Visited this kiosk last Sunday and enjoyed a lovely cuppa and my partner also enjoyed a large cappuccino. The cakes looked delicious and we intend to have a slice next time we visit. Blankets are provided should the cold and wind be a bit too much. The place was very busy for a not too bad a day in mid October.

We've eaten here several times and the food is always good and coffee is probably the best in town - I am a coffeeholic! The homemade sausage rolls are really good, much better than those pale tasteless things sold in supermarkets. Yes, there is often a queue and the girls have limited space to work in but you have to wait for the good things in life. My only concern for the kiosk is that there is no inside seating so I sincerely hope they get enough custom in the winter months.

Very unhappy with service women rushed of her feet very snappy . Long wait sarcasm then couldn't give me what I ordered so I had a refund all in all terrible

Great little place blankets provided not needed today as sunny. Very very busy Cakes great and real tea in a teapot . Beach patterned cup and saucers and tea cosy. Parking right there ..paying .not very cheap( depending how long you want to stay ) parking on road as well. There is a childrens play area with picnic area a bit further on.

This is a great place to stop and have a drink and a snack. There is usually a queue as this is a popular place but the best things come to those who wait! Kim welcomes everyone like they are old friends. I have travelled here specifically to buy some of the amazing sausage rolls. I can never buy just one. I have one there while the kids play at the park and one for later back home. Well worth the visit.

From the friendly staff to the delicious cakes the South Kiosk is perfect. Staff are always happy, helpful and smiling.

Found this kiosk by chance when out for a bike ride, and is our go to place for our half way stop. Always welcomed with a smile even when they are extremely busy and believe me they always are!! the ice cream is gorgeous and very generous with the scoop size, traditional tea served in a teapot with cup and saucer and if your feeling peckish the cakes are delicious and home made each day which gives that added personal touch. Would Highly recommend a visit.
