Teapot Tearoom in Suffolk Coastal

I’ve read some of the reviews and it seems that expectations have a lot to do with the comments. I know what to expect and I like it. If you want slick – don’t go. If you want real - then go. If you want a place where people go because they know each other – then go. I’ve had some good conversations about local events and places with the lady and gentleman who run it. Food and drink are fine – it might not suit everyone to see your breakfast cooked in view. Suits me fine.

Not too welcoming. We sat down and felt as if we inconvenienced the lady running the place by turning up. Ordering coffee we were given a French press and told it was made very strong (it would have been nice to have been asked if this was alright first!). Food took a while. When leaving we were notified they don’t take card and that we should go to the local newsagents, buy something small, and ask for cash back. Not too professional. Complete opposite to the lovely Cafe 46 just across the road!

Not a friendly welcome when entering the tearoom, I was met by an older lady who seemed like she couldn’t be bothered. The place smelt like stale smoke, most unpleasant. The tearoom seems quite dated and could do with an all over clean. I won’t be returning and would not recommend.

Popped in today for a cup of tea & a cake. We had our dog with us so sat outside. I walked inside the cafe to see what cakes were on offer & got given a filthy look from the woman serving & was snapped at to wait outside. I explained I was just looking to see what they had & asked if she wouldn’t mind filling my water bottle so I could give my dog a drink. Her reply was so abrupt & rude (NOT NOW!!!!!) we left without ever wanting to return. We are new to the area & if we’d been given a warm welcome would have definitely returned on future occasions. Cafe 46 for us in future. Serious staff training required.

Place was dirty and stuffy . Cups not washed properly . Very little attention to Covid guidelines . One member of staff was wearing a very dirty well worn paper mask . Kept touching it we were going to order food but just kept to the coffee . Won’t be going again

We stumbled across this place on our way to easton farm park, and while it was busy, we were accommodated on an outside table. We only wanted sandwiches , and when they came out, they were lovely, full, with side salad and crisps. Bear in mind it's only a small establishment , so expect a wait during busy times as limited seating. Very friendly staff!

Back to business! Strict policy on masks/ sanitiser, plastic screens and well spaced seating. Standard menu, including meals, and take away or cook at home dishes

Dropped in here after a morning walk, where the heavens had opened on us. Excellent soup and a drink all for under £10 (2 of us). The soup tasted and looked home made and was full of flavour

The latte's here are great and they have a great selection of home made cakes, great atmosphere and friendly and quick service.

Discovered this little gem a couple of years ago during an extended bike ride. Not wishing to overburden my tummy, to accompany a large pot of tea I choose a ham and tomato sandwich on wholemeal with side salad. Enjoying my promptly served pot of Assam I was able to observe that each order, either from the menu or the specials board, placed by a steady stream of both locals and visitors, was individually prepared with much attention placed on customer preferences. My lunch was served just as I was finishing my first cup, the portion size was generous and both the ham and tomato most tasty, ingredients in the salad were crisp and fresh and, upon enquiring, was informed were sourced from the local produce market and consequently vary with the seasons. During the last two years or so my bike and I have become regular visitors to the Teapot Tearooms, not sure what the bike thinks, but I certainly think the mileage from North Norfolk is worth it

Visited here with friend's whilst being in wickham early afternoon. We popped in for tea and also had fresh made cakes that where delicous. Robin was so helpful and friendly we had a luvly chat. Cant wait to return. Keep up the great work. I would definitely recommend to my all.

I cycle regularly and have the pleasure of stopping for coffee at many excellent cafés within a 20 mile radius of my home. I have visited Teapot several times before over the past 4 years but today was very different. On arrival I was asked whether I wanted my Americano coffee in a cup or mug and I chose a mug. Foolishly I hadn't checked the prices before ordering - a mug of very average coffee is £3!!!!! In my experience other excellent coffee stops charge between £1:30 and (exceptionally) £2 for much better prepared Americano. My advice is don't make the same mistake I did.

Cheaper ingredients smaller cups larger prices not such a good service especially when the married couple are not on Rather grumpy lady

This is just a small establishment but perfect for that appetising lunch or snack and wont break the bank to the bargain.

Just OK in every respect. We ordered a couple of paninis, a sausage roll and a few drinks. Service was prompt and polite, not friendly but I don't mind that. The food was served at different times, better if it all comes together. The panini fillings were not tasty at all and the paninis were both slightly burnt. The sausage roll was OK.

Very Expensive for 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks and nothing special about the café and more interested chatting to the locals

Friendly cafe serving delicious food! New management are much friendlier than the last proprietors. Vegetarian options are limited but very tasty. Generous portions. Dog friendly. That’s a great improvement.

The scones here are something else! The cheese ones have a unique flavour, depending on what cheese is available. The fruit ones have a mind of their own. The service is friendly and laid back, and Robin’s joke posters are appallingly good!

The teapot goes from strength to strength! The new lunch club, formed after the success of the”tour of Britain lunch”, is fantastic. Pheasant and sweet potato mash, followed by delightful chocolate torte or trifle - superb, and all for £10. Great atmosphere, super service. Need to book in advance.

Visited after boat trip at Offord and found food availability there limited after 2.30. Received warm welcome from owner and the panini and Sandwich we ordered were delicious. Followed by some lovely home made cake. Would definitely recommend this tea shop.

New owner well settled in. Most cakes and lunches made on the premises. Delicious scones and cakes. A specials board for lunches, and lots of locals chatting!

We stopped here today with our small white dog to see if we could have our lunch before continuing on our journey and what a lovely place to stop at the owner's was very friendly towards us the sandwiches that we ordered was so fresh and we even both had home-made cakes afterwards so well done to the teapot tearoom

Friendly service, good quality produce, lovely seating areas well worth the stop to look over the market place and enjoy a sunny morning

We're from the US and driving through we stopped at Wickham Market and found the Teapot Tearoom. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience, lovely tea and luncheon - sandwiches and salads.

Hemos sido el senderismo en nuestros días y conducimos a través de este pueblo en nuestro camino a casa. Este salón está justo al lado de la carretera principal a través de la aldea, así que está perfectamente situado para pasar el comercio y un lugar de encuentro para los locales. Es compacto y perfecto para una sentarse aunque el camino hace que sea bastante ruidoso. En el aspecto positivo, te puedes sentar en la ventana y no perderse un truco! El té era estupendo y la pasteles en pantalla parecía muy bonito aunque no quiere comer más cuando nos fuimos. Mercado wickham es un encaje extraño, un pueblo con un corazón, pero no parecen ser fuertes cuando pasamos a través. No pub y curiosamente, una ecléctica mezcla de tiendas rara, con el único lugar haciendo un buen comercio fue la tienda de la caridad. Vale la pena una visita. Entramos en la ruta a pie turismo en la naturaleza y valió la pena el esfuerzo.

Los precios a la vista. Los precios que cobran eran exorbitantes. No había mucho para elegir. Taza de café muy caro.

A menudo pop en aquí para el sábado brunch, toda la comida es casera y el servicio es amable y alegre, es un buen lugar para relajarse y dejar que el mundo con un bocadillo y un café o algo más sustancioso.

Entre propietarios cantando, silbidos, hablando alto y queso eléctrico 1.5 litros máquina estaba demasiado ruido como para mantener una conversación. No está mal para una taza rápida y tarta promedio pero no es un lugar para descansar.

for a little local tearoom i would suggest you got over the road to cafe 46 instead. better price and better atmosphere

We went here for a Friday lunch whilst holidaying nearby. Friendly service, though not the quickest - but since we weren't in a hurry we didn't mind. I had a very nice panini and my husband really enjoyed his jacket potato. Lots of nice looking cakes too, though we didn't have any.Good value and nice food - would recommend.

A friendly little cafe that instantly make you welcome! I'm now a regular. I recommend their value for money Paninnis! Excellent prices for tasty food! Xx

You'll be greeted with warmth and friendliness and I doubt you 'll be able to resist their delicious food, both sweet and savoury.

Stopped here because it was just off the A12 and found an absolutely delightful place. Good service and friendly banter with the locals. Will visit again when passing that way.

The Teapot Pop Up 50's Tea 'Room' is a marvellous idea providing an excellent additional refreshment venue at the Wickham Town monthly market. 'Les Girls' perfectly adorned in their 50's outfits looking after the market shoppers who take advantage of yummy cakes, scones and light lunches.Of course the 'Grown up' Teapot Cafe is still operating just round the corner and open at the same time for those requiring something a bit more than tea n cakes of a light snack and Margaret, always entertaining and welcoming, moves effortlessly between the two ensuring that all tastes are satisfied. What a girl she is, how does she do it?

It was a hot lovely morning and drinks and tea cake sitting in the sun was good. The crowd of angry wasps were a nuicence but I suppose the time of year for that It is a nice cafe with excellent helpful service

A nice distance from home for me so this is a regular coffee stop on bike rides. Margaret is always entertaining and welcoming and has some super cakes and some of the best scones in Suffolk! It's the ONLY place to go in Wickham Market!

Excellent scrambled egg on toast for breakfast. Friendly staff who served me early in the morning before their normal open time. Very reasonable prices.

This is the place to be in the village if you want a friendly place to meet, eat wonderful scones, and the best latte around. The village gossip, news, social interaction, it all happens here.

From Tea, Coffee and Cakes to light Hot & Cold lunches, this place has it all. A great atmosphere and the chat & banter of the locals is great entertainment. The atmosphere is friendly and the helpings more then generousBy far the BEST Tearoom/Cafe for many a mile and there are more than a few in this area

Friendly and welcoming - if large mugs of coffee and the most delicious cheese scones are your thing this place is a must. Afternoon pots of tea are generous and the selection of ckes makes you spoilt for choice. Worth visiting Wickham Market just for this.

Whilst I waited with my daughter to meet someone, we had coffee and scones and watched as the locals came and went with their conversations. It is a lovely friendly place and don't miss it if you are in the area. Will certainly make an excuse to call again if there.

love the orange and cranberry scones and the huge mugs of coffee

This is THE tea shop in Wickham Market used by the locals. Superb homemade food, great coffee, lots of different teas. The scones/ cream teas are a delight! If you need to know anything about the locality /local traders, Margaret and Andrew have the answer.The buzz on a Saturday morning (and most other days) is superb.
