Teacups Tea Rooms in Mid Suffolk

I love this tearooms anyway but haven’t treated myself to lunch here for a while and today I fancied treating myself to lunch so I popped in to get a take away lunch, being a Saturday lunch time I expected it to be busy but this was exceptionally busy and the tearoom was full to the brim inside and outside. As I entered I was greeted by three lovely ladies, who I knew well from my previous visits, albeit rushed off their feet I was still greeted with cheery hellos, smiles and how are you’s, informing me that they would get my order done as soon as possible but that there were some orders ahead of me so there would be a little wait, which I said was fine. I ordered the salmon and cream cheese bagel with came a side salad and dressing, chocolate Guinness cake and a cappuccino. It was a lovely sunny day so I took my cappuccino outside whilst I waited for the food to be prepared. I had only been waiting ten minutes when my order was brought out to me by one of the lovely ladies which was so lovely, as I passed the door I thanked them for the quick service and a goodbye and they returned the same back. The bagel was delicious, I had really fancied it all morning so it went down very well, the salad and dressing really complemented it. The chocolate Guinness cake is a favourite of mine, so moist and delicious - that is my treat for later. And the cappuccino was lovely, just hit the right spot for an afternoon on the laptop. Thank you ladies for exceptional customer service today ! ☺️ I highly recommend Teacups Tearoom if you happen to find yourself in Woolpit - for a drink and cake or treat yourself to lunch - you won’t be disappointed it truly is a beautiful traditional English Tearoom with wonderful friendly staff in the centre of an idyllic English village 🥰

Small, but cosy. Lovely, helpful staff. There is a good selection of food, freshly prepared. I’ve been in there several times and always had great service and food. There is a nice atmosphere too.

Wanting to take a break during a journey along the A14, I drove into Woolpit to find somewhere for a coffee. This tiny cafe was perfect. It is very old school with decorated china tea cups and fancy cakes but also offers more substantial cooked food. The small size of the place adds to the atmosphere, as does the friendliness of the staff. I couldn’t have been made to feel any more welcome, despite the scruffy motorcycle gear I was wearing. I was even given a loyalty card by a waitress wearing a very fetching mid-20th century outfit with bright red shoes. Woolpit itself is a lovely village and this cafe makes it all the better.

A lovely old building in a very pretty village which gives the impression that little has changed in the past 50 years This is everything you might expect from a small village cafe. A lovely friendly welcome, even to a total stranger, and a lovely environment in which to take refreshments. The coffee I had was not the strongest, but the cheese scone was faultless. Definitely a place I would come to again when passing along the A14

Booked here very last minute and had no idea on what to expect as we had originally booked somewhere else but they cancelled and we desperately wanted to still go for Afternoon Tea and this place was the nearest too us. We arrived and be seated straight away and brought over the biggest Teapot I think I’ve ever seen. The tea was perfect. Next to arrived was the food. Wow!! The lady (sorry I don’t know your name) explained what everything was. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! So tasty, so fresh and wanting more. We couldn’t stay for as long as we had wanted due to other commitments but we will definitely be back. On paying the bill we also bought a sausage roll to takeaway. Just yum!! Thank you

Yesterday I popped into Teacups on my own having been in the village to do some shopping. There is always someone to say hello to or chat with though. I was greeted by two lovely ladies with warm smiles & cheery good mornings, hellos & how are you’s? Every customer gets such a warm welcome at Teacups, it doesn’t matter if you’re a regular or a tourist on a day trip, the customer service is always amazing! I had a large cappuccino, sat on a window table & watched the world go by, when the ladies were not busy they stop to chit chat a little. Teacups have a book basket that always has a vast collection of books so I had a look through that, if a book takes your fancy then there are a couple of charities they collect for so you can opt which you would like to donate to. I had a hot chocolate before I left which was delicious, so smooth, not sickly like a lot of hot chocolates & just topped my morning off nicely! Today I chose to take a slice of Black Forest Cake with a hint of Brandy home for my afternoon treat it was fabulous, very tasty! I’ve had hot & cold lunches, a variety of sweet & savoury cakes, hot & cold drinks & I cannot fault anything, there is a good variety of everything, catering for all, seasonal & local produce & freshly made on site. There is seating indoors & outdoors, as a solo visitor or a small group it welcomes all, including dogs as there is the seating outside. The two joint lady owners put so much love, time & pride into Teacups, along with their wonderful team alongside them who are all so friendly, hard working & simply fantastic! If you visit Woolpit you simply MUST visit Teacups tearooms in the centre of the village, you may want to book in advance to your trip, but I promise you won’t be disappointed! ☺️

A wonderfully friendly tea room with a super selection of delicious home made cakes. We are always made to feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble for this wonderful village business.

Wonderful Tea Shop, the staff are very courteous and quick with the delivery of your order. Nice selection of cakes if you just want a quick top-up We don’t live locally but if we are in the area, we definitely head for the Tea Cup for Lunch

This is a wonderful tea room in the heart of Woolpit. I go there regularly to meet friends, or even on my own! The cheese scones with cream cheese and chilli jam are the best anywhere. Wonderful, friendly staff and the best cakes, scones, sausage rolls, they do light lunches too, quiche and paninis and stuff!

Visited today, very friendly staff. Had GF, vegan and normal cakes available all looked fabulous and the ones we had were delicious. Lovely little tea/coffee shop, reasonably priced.

Visiting the area for a few days so stopped by Teacups. Received a lovely welcome and had lovely coffee and cake. We were told that they were new owners and had only been open for a week. It was very busy, so I hope this is the beginning of a successful business. It was very nice!!

Wonderful place. Friendly helpful staff, good food and nice prices. Not overbearing. Located in heart of the delightful village. Definitely recommended.

Wondered how Tea Cups would manage social distancing - not easy with such an old building - it was perfect! From the no-touch sanitiser on the entrance table to the screens between the tables. The scones were just as yummy too. Just need to remember to book, as it is very popular, and has fewer tables at the moment.

We were given the gift of an afternoon tea for two at Teacups, and redeemed it today. Safety wise (everyone's concern at the moment), it was perfect. They really have thought of everything. Screens between tables; staff wore mask, and vizor. It was all well thought-through.The food was lovely; quantities just right, although we are still full even now many hours later...Home made cakes and sandwiches. Absolutely delicious. A proper cream tea. Care had been taken to ensure there was variety, and presentation was perfect. Tea in proper china cups and tea pot - the real McCoy.The staff (Lisa and Christine) were lovely too: attentive and genuine. We will definitely return.

This is a hidden little chocolate box type of tea room, nestled in the lovely quiet village of Woolpit Suffolk. Your cups of tea are served in large teapots ( China pottery ) and refilled if required. Hot food on the special board, and variety of lovely sandwiches, and not forgetting choices of homemade cakes. If you haven’t yet visited then put this on your bucket list.

Friendly service lovely suroundings we had sandwhiches and a large hot choc which was lovely. we chatted to locals and were made to feel welcome

Having a walk around the village and we find this lovely tea room. A lovely welcome and we sit and peruse the menu, two large hot chocolates and I had cheese and chutney sandwich and my wife had tuna and celery all served with salad garnish and crisps. The cakes looked lovely but resisted. If you are in the area you must give this place a try.

Small but cosy and quaint tea shop. I had broccoli and bacon quiche which was served warm with a salad and my husband chicken and bacon wrap. Both were delicious and freshly made as was everything. All the cakes were homemade too which you could see. We were staying on a caravan site down the road and so pleased we visited this tea shop and would come again if in the area.

Great food at good prices. All freshly cooked or baked on the day. Very charming atmosphere. The scones are delicious.

We popped in on a recommendation before returning home. Staff were very friendly they pointed out what they did. We had a piece of homemade Tiffin cake and a pot of coffee. They were very nice. All the cakes they had on display looked good. There were savoury snacks also. Would highly recommend.

Found this cafe in Woolpit by chance and what a lucky chance. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we had a ploughmans lunch which contained three types of cheese and lots of trimmings really good value for money. Will return to this hidden gem.

This is a bit of a find. Lovely old Tudor building with beams. The speciality is tea and things that go with tea, like toasted sandwiches and egg muffins. Lovley mismatched china cups,saucers, and plates. Geneerous helpings of tasty food. Woolpit is a pretty village and it's easy to access off the A14. Vaut le detour, as they say.

I discovered this lovely little tea room a couple of weeks ago and visited with my wife for a light lunch at the weekend.If you are looking for a traditional Old English tea room experience you will not be disappointed.The food we had was first class as was the service. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and we will certainly be revisiting very soon.

A great place for morning coffee, light lunch or afternoon tea. The food is freshly prepared, very tasty, & the cakes are baked on the premises. The china is proper china, although my cup & saucer may not match yours! Note Tea Cups does not take credit cards.

What a gem of a find, delightful staff, superb food china crockery. What more could you ask for. I will certainly visit again. 10 out of 10

Just 2 minutes off the A14, between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. You get to the village car park, and Teacups is just around the next corner on the left.

One of the first places I went to when visiting the charming village of Woolpit for the first time was Teacups Tea Rooms. It is exquisite. Everything you would want in an old fashioned village tea room. The staff are very friendly, the service is excellent and the food delicious. It is housed in a lovely old building in the middle of the village and has a tiny museum upstairs. Round the corner is a church I had been waiting decades to visit as it has an incredible hammer-beam roof covered in carved wooden angels.

Tea Cups never ceases to delight! In a way, I'm only bothering to review it because there don't seem to have been any reviews in 2018, and I can't work out why not. Less than 5 mins from the A14, so easily accessible to many (very many) 000s of people passing through this bit of Suffolk. Make time, people!

Loved it here with the friendly service and delicious tea and cake. Very traditional, plenty of choice. Well worth a visit.

Quaint little tea room with beautiful mismatched bone china. Enjoyable Sandwich and choice of freshly made cakes.

Travelling from Felixstowe to Bury St Edmunds, my sister and I called into Woolpit and had coffee at 'Teacups'. We were very impressed with the welcome we received and the cosy feel. My sister is on a gluten free diet and we were pleasantly surprised at the various G F options available.

We had a lovely ploughman lunch with a selection of cheese's followed by homemade cake and tea.

We called in for a coffee and a piece of cake expecting great things, however, the coffee cake wasn't particularly tasty and was dry. The service was excellent, just a shame about the quality of the cake.

Mi pareja y yo parado aquí el sábado como fuimos de caza local y necesitaba un café. Es una pequeña y pintoresca cafetería con unas cuantas mesas.

Everything you would expect from an English tea room. Cakes are good and staff friendly. The village of Woolpit is very attractive too....nice place for afternoon tea and stroll

Tazas para café visitamos una mañana y regresar para el almuerzo porque habíamos disfrutado tanto la primera vez. Es acogedor y pintoresco, situado en el corazón de Woolpit Village. Excelente y amable servicio. Escrupulosamente limpias. Comida preparada en las instalaciones era apetitoso y bien presentado. Lo recomiendo totalmente para el café o un almuerzo ligero, con una buena selección de platos en el menú.

I've been here a couple of times now. The tea room is very clean and olde world China cups and saucers and china teapots. The food is delicious, the ladies who run it are friendly recommend it highly

I love this village tea shop. Always an attractive selection of lunch options, drinks, and some amazing cakes & scones - just about everything cooked on the premises or sourced locally. A consistently warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Reasonably priced and very dementia friendly too.

We love going to Teacups! Woolpit is a lovely little village, and Teacups is the icing on the cake! Great tea, sandwiches... and don't forget to leave room for one of their delicious home made cakes! Yum!

We enjoyed a welcome break here in this charming country café. Plenty of choices of light bites on the menu and a good range of beverages on offer. Friendly, welcoming staff too!

An absolute gem in a lovely village. Lovely, homemade food with friendly service and a charming atmosphere

I stopped here between meetings, and had a very enjoyable pot of tea, with a cream tea and a JP with a delightful filling of gammon and egg. Staffed by two lovely ladies, it soon filled up and was buzzing with lots of chitter and chatter.

It was very busy when I visited Teacups, but attention to detail never faltered. We were very well catered for. Worth a visit in this friendly little village.

On a terrible wet afternoon, having travelled from Bury St Edmunds to visit Woolpit, this lovely place offered some solace. Two charming ladies furnished us with some delicious cakes and coffee towards the end of their afternoon 'shift'. Most acceptable and most appreciated. Well worth a visit.

Looking for a lunch stop on a long drive we spotted this on trip advisor. A lovely friendly welcome and a pretty old house in the village centre. Yummy jacket potato and wrap plus tea for two. A big display of cakes too, although we didn't indulge. Definitely worth popping into Woolpit for a stop here.

Friendly welcome and offered an 'outside' table in the very small yard behind the property was accessed by walking through the kitchen. Our order not taken for 15 minutes and then 10 minutes after that I was informed that my dish was not available, food arrived another 10 minutes after that! The whole thing was well meaning but totally disorganised. Ham and egg muffin had a modest quantity of ham, the egg was a peculiar scrambled egg slab. The menu encouraged those wanting a sandwich to choose two fillings - my wife chose tomato and tomato, expecting a decent filling. The sandwich arrived with such a thin layer of tomato - I'd hate to see a single filling.

The only cafe open for lunch it was quite busy and given a choice of a table outside or inside on a warm day we selected the later only to be asked to walk through the small kitchen where food was being prepared. Seated in a tiny courtyard and somewhat out of sight we were forgotten for about 10 minutes when our order was finally taken. The sandwich when it arrived -Two choices of filling and not fancying any of the combinations I asked for tomato & tomato-was thinly filled and the accompanying crisps were very cheap versions. Our tea & coffee were not nice either.Dirty dishes were taken from tables and stacked on a range of weatherproof cupboards in the courtyard in full view of customers & when space allowed removed to the kitchen where they were hand washed in the sink.

Quite small coffee shop in the main square of Woolpit. All homemade, nicely presented and very reasonable priced. Will certainly be back

Looking around the village on a very sunny day when we came across this lovely style building which has the museum upstairs (to gain access go next day) The two ladies working in the tea rooms are very helpful with an assortment of homemade cakes.

A great tea rooms, staffed by friendly local people. Real food made by real local people.Cheese scones are to die for! Recommended.

Wonderful little place for lunch.Great service. Tea served in proper tea cups, home made cakes, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Very cosy and homely feel to it.Fantastic value.

Six ladies, celebrating the birthdays of two of us enjoyed the most wonderful Afternoon Tea on Friday, 11th September. What a lovely spread and plenty for each person. An endless supply of tea and everything home baked. The Table was beautifully set up with pretty matching china. We felt very special. What good value for money this is too.

My wife and I popped in for some lunch while Grandad looked after the kids (1 was sleeping & the other watching a film!!).I enjoyed a delicious sandwich while my wife had a Jacket Potato. The filings for both were fresh & tasty.Then came the cakes - Oh, the cakes!!!Yummy!Why was this place not around when I lived in Woolpit?

Went to the Swan only to be told they didn't do sandwiches so went across the road where we were warmly welcomed. Service was friendly and quick and the food delicious. Fantastic food and drinks and would go here again.

Just stopped off for a quick lunch between appointments. The staff were very welcoming and the menu was varied, with a lovely selection of specials. The stilton and broccoli quiche was delicious, served with Waldorf salad and coleslaw and I would thoroughly recommend the warm ginger cordial. It reminded me of Enid Blyton's Famous Five when they partook of lashings of ginger beer!There was plenty of reading material available and I took a little time out to read about The Green Children - a story from which Babes in the Wood may have originated.When I'm back in the area I will call again.

Visited for drinks and nibbles and enjoyed the nicest cheese scones we have ever tasted! Great service, lovely, homely atmosphere and a small but tasty looking menu. We will definitely go back again for more scones!

lovely little tea shop great food and cakes very friendly staff also gifts for sale nicely situated next to butchers and local shop

A friendly, quaint little teashop worth popping into whilst in the area. Friendly service and scrummy cakes.

Visited with my daughter & 2 young grandchildren who were very well looked after. We visited for lunch although the menu was limited the quality of the food was very good & the staff were very friendly. The homemade cakes looked delicious & will definitely visit again for a cuppa & slice of cake.

Nipped in for a quick coffee and cake and it was truly delightful with warm friendly service and delicious coffee and walnut cake that they especially warmed up for me

Lovely caffetiere coffee, from decaf to strong roasted , very quaint little tea room in centre of Woolpit

A super tearoom in the heart of the delightful village of Woolpit, only about 25 seats. There is a range of tea and coffees to choose from and delicious home made cakes.

Teacups is a lovely little tea room and Woolpit just perfect as a stop off whilst travelling down the A14. We had tea, coffee and a couple of lovely cheese scones. Worth a small detour!

It is a small place - just the two rooms but the service is fantastic, very friendly. The cakes are to die for - all home made... and the scones!!! I often go in there first thing and buy a bag of scones if they are left over from the day before - I can tell friends I made them myself? No, not really - but it's a lovely atmosphere and good value. Not open on a Monday though!
