Lovely cakes, afternoon tea and sandwiches. Very friendly service. Note that they stop serving at 2.

What a delight that we found this amazing tea room while in the area. The food was amazing, everything was homemade and tasted delicious, honestly the best scones we have ever had. Amazing staff, super friendly and couldnt do enough for us. We come from norwich but will definitely visit on a regular basis. Thank you ladies for your kind welcome and amazing food. 😊

What a lovely little tea room with friendly ladies. The afternoon tea we’ve just had was beautiful, freshly made sandwiches with homemade sausage rolls and cakes. The scones were delicious! We would definitely recommend and hope to visit again before we leave. Thank you 😊

This is an absolute gem of a find! The staff are so lovely and accommodating. They were quite busy so didn't have a table (highly recommend you pre book where possible!), but they said theu would happily do our order to takeaway. It was fantastic quality. We had some of their quiches, sausage pie and some toasted sandwiches and I have never been happier with a picnic by the sea. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely fantastic, great value and Friendly staff

Visited tea by the sea on 19/06/2021 was made to feel extremely welcome. Food was fantastic. The place itself is beautifully decorated, very pretty. Thanks to Maisy and the rest of the team. Well worth a visit.

Had an anniversary afternoon tea yesterday. As Craig Revel-Horwood would say "A-MAZ-ING". People listen very carefully to this. You need to try this place. The tea was fantastic, delicious and superb value for money. Thanks so much.

My friends arranged an afternoon tea to be delivered to my house today for a surprise virtual baby shower! It was delicious! Apparently it was designed to be catering for myself, husband and our 1 year old and there was more than enough to go around. The sandwiches were so good and on lovely thick fresh bread, and the cakes were amazing! All so beautifully presented. I would definitely use them again & look forward to going one day in the future.

Amazing cream tea and lovely surroundings. One of the best cream teas ever!

Great place,great bacon sandwich and mug of tea. Well worth a visit.

Decided to treat my parents and two girls to afternoon tea, this place was highly reviewed as being exceptional and my expectations were certainly met. Lovely afternoon tea with scrumptious sandwiches, sausage rolls and cakes to die for. Absolutely delicious.

Lowestoft has been waiting for a place like this. Lovely freshly prepared food and lovely relaxed atmosphere. There was my sister visiting us from Australia, her good friend Ro from London and me. Best high tea I've ever had.

Great service . Great value and great grub

We had a family birthday party here, the staff were very flexible and helpful, and the cakes and sandwiches were excellent. I don't think anyone left hungry. The price was very good value too.

Lovely afternoon tea. You could tell a lot of effort had gone into it. Would recommend.

Incredible delicious food. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place, lovely people, great cakes, food freshly prepared, and beautiful location on the cliff top above Pakefield beach and on the coastal footpath. Even a car park opposite for drivers.

Delicious afternoon tea, great value and a nice little tea room 🌟

Lovely little tea room. Pleasant girls who there. Just be aware they don't do card payments.

Love this place. Friendly staff

I love it in there the service is great! The food is great and it's like a second home where I can relax and be myself

Delicious home-made food in lovely retro tea room, very friendly service.

Excellent food and proper tea.friendly service and very reasonable. Thank you.

Seek this place out , a little gem of a tea and coffee house by the sea . Home made scones (fruit or cheesy ) are delicious and lots of other assorted cakes together with home made sandwiches and sausage rolls are available . Big breakfast deals including a veggie option is available all morning and afternoon tea is located with a pensioner deal between 2-4 in the afternoon in the week. A sheltered garden at the rear has additional tables for those wanting the fresh air in the sunshine well wind protected from sea breeze All in all a great rest stop which is just a stone's throw from the coastal cliff path Enjoy a great refreshment stop.

If Cath Kitson did a tea shop, this would be it. Lovely, friendly owner, 60s jukebox playing in the background and homemade cake.

Wonderful place to have a bite to eat & drink after walking our dog on Pakefield Beach.

Cheese scones were delicious and good coffee too!

Brilliant, we we're ready for our toasted sandwiche,as we were last for lunch.

Went for afternoon tea today. The highlights were scrummy sandwiches in beautiful fresh bread. Tasty sausage rolls and cheese scones. Then there were cakes. Fruit scone with jam and cream, and a selection of mini cakes. Plentiful supply of tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. Great friendly service and a nice ambiance. Highly recommended. Hubster says scrummy dummy doo!

Amazing little place. Went with my dad and the hot chocolate was so good. Dad said his drink was lovely too. Staff are so friendly!!

Stopped for breakfast. No more to say than excellent

Very homely, lovely scones. Highly recommended.

The afternoon tea was gorgeous all homemade and very tasty

Lovely welcoming tearoom with grate views

Small seaside café that encapsulates quaintness

Cakes and sausage rolls to die for

Such a lovely and friendly little place. A little wait in busy periods but we sat and enjoyed the music and chatted with our friends, so the time flew. Our friends little girl is dairy intolerant and they offered to make her something not on the menu. Perfect place for tea and cake plus their breakfast baps are lovely too.

Happy friendly place to have tea and cake..

Best place ever highly recommend very friendly staff and quirky fun place

Superb toasted sandwiches and tea

Excellent toasties and a superb pot of tea!

Nice coffee and cakes great afternoon tea x

Cute seaside teashop serving cakes and lunches in the heart of Pakefield.

FRIENDLY STAFF Reasonable prices. A nice cup of coffee.

Really good cup of tea! Very tasty icecreams too. 😊

A warm and welcoming diversion from a breezy coastal hike. Nice homemade fayre.

Very good home cooked food, good portions and nice staff.

Visited here for a 40th Birthday get together. A really lovely afternoon was had by all, the tea and cakes were absolutely delightful.

Great little place to eat. We went for a family celebration. Didn't book, but got a table without any problems as it was early lunch time. It is small and does get busy, so may be advisable to book. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is good value and there is a good variety. We had paninis, which were very tasty. There's on-street parking outside, but this can be a bit hit and miss depending on how busy the road is. There's also an expensive pay and display car park almost opposite, but I'd try and park on the road if free - It's not a resident parking zone. Would highly recommend.

Had a very nice afternoon tea at Tea By The Sea today. Lovely little place, friendly staff and great food. Easy parking opposite, would be ideal for a snack after a walk along the beach. Recommended!

Lovely atmosphere and service. Fresh cakes and a great cup of tea 😃

Wonderful tea shop. Great homemade food.

Real leaf tea and wonderful sandwiches.
