The Angel Coffee Shop in Mid Suffolk

I think some more up-to-date photos would help. These pictures are from when The Angel was in the High St. They are now in the Civic Centre The breakfast is still as good as ever. The service and welcome are good and the food is still excellent Only one slight moan and that would be the price of a cup of coffee: £3.50 for a small cup is too expensive

Fabulous quality food, great service at reasonable price. Very popular since opening recently. wide variety of food available. Great atmosphere. Definitely the place to go. I will be back with family next time

Dropped in for a coffee and a cheese scone, lovely, warm and friendly welcome from smiling staff. Comfortable and clean surroundings, great service and delicious food.

Stopped for a quick drink and a bit of brunch. Very friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious and the children enjoyed the carrot cake. All very good.

We were greeted warmly by a lovely lady at the door who showed us to a seat. All the staff were so friendly and helpful especially with my mothers requirements. Every person that came through the door were greeted with a smile which was nice to see. The food was great and plenty of it. The only thing is I wished they had painted us to the special board before they took our order but it might be due to all the confusion we caused when we sat down. We definitely will be back again.

Popped in for lunch with my dad, they found us a table even though they were busy (unlike Roots n shoots down the road). Sandwich was top notch, great fresh bread, lovely filling, nice coleslaw and salad. Tea was perfect too. Perfect. Defo return.

Went with a group of 7 friends as a Christmas get together this evening. The 3 course meal was excellent value for money and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. They catered for a gluten free option and a dairy free option. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were friendly and attentive. Previously have visited for coffee and/or breakfast. I highly recommend this little gem venue.

Fantastic food and service. Good quality food and reasonably priced. Highly recommend, we will definitely be returning!

We came for a Christmas meal with friends. The food was delicious, home made and simply wonderful. Along with that, it’s exceptional value for money. The service was friendly amd very accommodating- they catered for a gluten and dairy free intolerance very efficiently. The atmosphere here is just lovely and the staff work very hard and are friendly and always happy to help. We go for breakfast a lot but this was my first time for dinner. Highly recommend and will be going back soon.

A group of us had our Christmas meal here this evening and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The meal was first class, compliments to the chef. I would recommend the Angel. I have had several breakfasts here as well and enjoyed every single one of them. Thank you to all at the Angel.

The Angel coffee shop is located on the High Street of Needham Market. I opted for the Full English breakfast and an Americano Coffee. The Full English was cooked to my liking and the coffee was delicious. Staff were friendly, overall, a great place to eat.

I hadn't had a café/restaurant breakfast for some time, and The Angel definitely made my day start off fantastically. From the greeting from the lovely young lady and young man, to the absolutely scrumptious English breakfast. Wonderful food and value... and service with a smile. This was a real treat for me, and I definitely plan to return. Thank you... Steve 😁❤️

Thoroughly enjoyable tapas evening. It's very much anglo-Spanish but tasty and it makes for a convivial evening. Nice atmosphere. Worth booking well ahead.

I called in for the first time last Saturday for lunch with my daughter, the atmosphere was relaxed, the service friendly and efficient and the food was very good and great value for money. We’ll be back.

We've been meaning to try The Angel for a long time. They didn't disappoint us "Your review must be at least 100 characters long. Adding details really helps travelers. Your review must be at least 100 characters long. Adding details really helps travelers."

First time for me at The Angel, I’d heard good reports from friends so decided to give it a go. I wasn’t disappointed, very relaxed place, staff were very patient as we took ages to order. Food was an absolute delight cooked and presented beautifully. As it got near closing time no pressure to leave so had a very enjoyable meal there. Will definitely return.

A lovely family evening. Friday night is tapas evening. Great food and drink, great atmosphere and great service. The king prawns in garlic butter were delicious; beautifully cooked and the risotto was also a big hit. The team were attentive and friendly and the whole...

The breakfasts here are great - an overflowing plate with everything you could wish for on it, all cooked correctly, and at a modest price. Quick service in nice surroundings. Our only criticism: ridiculously small coffee cups... We'll keep coming back here, it knocks spots...

We had a great lunch here. The home made Lasagne was excellent, The staff Hannah was very welcoming. Recommend lunch there any time.

My goodness how amazing their burgers are! We’ve just discovered this place we live in the town . Beautifully done excellent meat my husband had the homemade beefburger I had the Cajun chicken . Absolutely delicious! I can recommend the Cajun fries . We are...

An indigent treat for the family, which was a takeaway roast dinner! Gorgeous it was! Worth the money and no washing up too

We collected our roast beef Sunday lunch today. It was excellent. Tasty,hot & very good value. Very well organised ordering & collection system & friendly staff. Also had desserts which were also fab. Would strongly recommend you try it.

After a lovely meal prevousliy when they angel was open we thought we would give the takeaway a go. All I can say was mine and the wife's burger were piping hot and tasted fantastic. The chips were hot and crispy and the ice cream...

My wife and I had one of the best meals anywhere. I had whitebait as a starter probably the best Ive ever had. My steak was perfect and the sweet wonderful. Highly recommended. The owners are relatively new around late 2019 so do not look...

My wife read some reviews of The Angel in Needham Market on Facebook so we thought we would give it a go. The restaurant is small and cosy and all the relevant covid safety precautions are in place. The food was excellent, clearly freshly made...

Good value cafe in a quirky old building. The staff were very pleasant and the cafe was clean. There are gluten free options if you have an intolerance.

This is a great restaurant, very friendly and helpful and really good food. It is the best value in the area.

Had a fantastic lunch today here of breaded Brie and a mushroom, bacon and halloumi salad. Both dishes were delicious and well presented BUT the raspberry and white chocolate blondie I took home for later were absolutely amazing! I honestly could not rate these blondies...

Stopped for lunch today with the wife. Made to feel welcome and was served promptly. Social distancing was being observed with selected tables divided by screens. Food was piping hot and tasty. Even satisfied my wife who normally is very fussy! Dessert was not on...

Excellent service, wonderfully cooked food, presentation and delivery and attentiveness spot on nothing is too much trouble.

Angels has a great menu. We had a wonderful, tasty big breakfast there a couple of days ago, and have had their lovely burgers and waffles. The sweet potato fries are great! Lovely hosts who look after you. Highly recommended.

My family and I have just enjoyed the most delicious takeaway consisting of beef burger and also pulled pork both served in a brioche roll along with onion rings, chips, milkshakes and chocolate brownie to boot. It was presented beautifully. You can pre order and book a time slot for collection ensuring social distancing adhered to...perfect. Thank you so much for tasty food and a night off from cooking.

Open for takeaways at the moment. Just had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and chips. It was perfect. I’m definitely going to call again and have a burger next time. So nice to have something different and not have to cook. Thank you 😋

Beautiful place, beautiful people, good food, good feeling and it's great for a Friday night, evening meal,when it's transformed into a bistro.

The new staff here seem to have got things running nicely. A similar menu to before, albeit with higher prices, and much the same surroundings, have not diminished a pleasant little cafe. VERY good breakfasts with prompt & polite service continue.The nice perk of tea/coffee with your breakfast has sadly gone, and balancing toast on top of a heaped plate is totally impractical - bigger plates (or a side plate) please!

I was there a few days ago great coffee, cakes (one of the best carrot cakes I've had and i eat a lot of cake) and perfectly cooked crispy bacon sandwiches.. a bug YUM from all of 3 of us..we will be back.

Stopped here for coffee, when out on a cycle ride. Friendly staff, prompt service, and delicious food.

Lovely little cafe near to where we live. Popped in for light lunch and a coffee. After being seated my wife had to go to the counter to get the menu. We chose and waited for someone to take our order. We waited some more and the couple who came in after us were served but not us. We waited some more but no unfortunately nothing was going to happen. Eventually after we decided to go to the pub down the road someone came for our order. We made our excuses and left.

Our first visit, but won't be our last! Comfortable seating, prompt friendly service and a couple of tasty toasties - what's not to like? I opted for the Tuna Melt and my husband enjoyed the Turkey, Bacon and Brie - both nicely served and delicious.

We were recommended to visit the Angel by our friends. We are so glad we listened to them! Beautiful, wholesome food, great service and friendly atmosphere. We plan on booking for a Friday night in the near future. I have no idea what the small, expensive portions review is about, but from our lunches, and looking around at others...this wasn't justified.Well done to all involved.

A very warm and welcoming place, with great food, beautiful setting, it's a pleasure to eat here,if it's just a coffee and a cake,or a cooked breakfast. Has a great choice of menu and turns into a bistro on Friday evenings.

Decided to go a little further afield for a meal and had heard good things about the newly refurbished The Angel at Loddon. It was beautifully decorated and we had such a warm welcome. The food was delicious and cooked fresh so a slight wait but so worth it. Everything home made even the salted caramel ice cream. Will definitely return.

We called last week for mid day meal, found the of the meals to be child portion masquerading as adult (scampi 6 pieces for an adult meal),and quite expensive. Staff very polite those. Will not going again.

Just popped to Needham Market for quick visit wanting somewhere to eat. Found this very inviting coffee shop.Felt very cosy and well presented inside.Very polite, friendly and prompt service. Varied menu, accomodating all appetites.We both had meals from Specials board-Halloumi Salad , Antipasti, fries and Garlic Bread.All excellent. Will certainly return if we visit again.

Ineeded to test up and get some tea. This place wad ideal. Comfy seating. Good (albeit noisy) service and friendly local atmosphere. Wifi and no sense of hurry. I would return. I would return.

Popped in en route to Aldeburgh. Lovely little place with the best Bacon and Sausage butty using local produce - the sausages were fantastic.

Meals just like mum used to make! A straightforward menu of home cooked favourites, the steak pie and mixed vegetables was a real treat great pastry and packed with meat.The ham and egg looked just as delicious.No time for desert this time but next visit!!

We found this via Trip Advisor as somewhere to break our journey and so glad we did. Its a lovely old building dating back to 1450's. We only had coffee but judging by the other folk having full breakfast the food looks good as well.Staff friendly and knowledgeable about the buildings history. Needham Market is a nice place to visit

Very nice food and reasonable rates. Not the most salubrious but worth a visit. Their breakfasts', cake and roast dinners are lovely. Good service too.

We were very well catered for in our group of 4 plus an infant. We had two coeliacs which often complicates things however the Angel staff were fantastic and very supportive. Their knowledge of products containing gluten were great. They also had a real highchair with a tray to use - something that most parents can attain is quite difficult to find!

Second visit and looking forward to the next, because I like the sound of everything on the menu.

Would like to see the option to have “Senior Citizen meals and prices” for those who find the meals rather big. Went in on Saturday lunch time and the table had not been cleaned and the service was slow. The staff need to be trained more as the young waitress who took the order was extremely miserable and did not have any social skills with the customers,

Drove around the area looking for food and happened by accident on the Curry Inn. Some of the best indian food I've had and a very friendly set of staff. Very clean restaurant in a strange little town.

Have had breakfast here on several occasions and would thoroughly recommend. Good home cooked food and large portions. Service is always good.

Great little cafe with obviously freshly cooked quality ingredients. Have had breakfasts and lunch here and never anything other than fantastic! Been places such as The Magpie which is higher on the list of best places to eat and the food there was microwaved and vile - not the case here. Staff friendly too

Meal superb, always fresh and presented well on the plate. Service second to none and always with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble. Excellent value for money

Every small town should have an Angel Cafe. A pleasant enough venue for an all-day breakfast or a coffee and cake whenever you need it. This place fits in perfectly with the town and seems to meet the requirements of it’s target clientele.

First visit to this lovely little town and called into this coffee shop for a light lunch. First thing we noticed was the reserved signs on several of the tables, always a good sign! Service was excellent and the food was delicious, all home made and portion sizes were ample. During our time there several phone calls from folk reserving tables for forthcoming days, especially Sunday lunch.

Slightly slow service on a busy Saturday lunchtime but to be expected. Prices for drinks a tad high. Homely setting and decent food. I'd be happy to go again.

I have been twice for breakfast and that was lovely. I decided to take my friends for lunch. I like the place, not only because it's next door to my place but for me it's a typical English cafe. It's always busy which usually is a good sign. We had the Soup Duo which is a home made soup plus a small sandwich with the choice of any available feelings with salad and coleslow. The soup was very tasty and there was plenty of it. The sandwich made with fresh bread and high quality ingredients was lovely. The flavoured gingerbread latte was perfect. Just a shame I didn't have room for a slice of one of the home made cakes! But it's not a problem, I will just have to go back.

Friendly service. Nice cup of tea. Coffee served just as requested. One half breakfast - nicely cooked, soft fried egg so I could dip my toast. Whole grilled tomato, grilled mushroom, local sausage & bacon. All very nicely cooked and served. Husband had fresh porridge with fruit compot. Wonderfully sharp compot of berries. Nicely cooked and not too thick.

The service and food for lunch were good. The menu had interesting items which were well presented.Comfort food was high on the menu and particularly appreciated by regular customers.

We only live around the corner from the Angel, literally less than 30 steps from our front door and yet it has taken us 4 months to come in and sample the wares. We're glad we did. We popped in for a late breakfast on a lazy Saturday. The staff were cheerful and welcoming. We both ordered English breakfasts with coffees which were delivered, prompt and hot to our table. The only fault was that the fried eggs were a bit over done. Will definitely come back, maybe to sample the lunchtime menu next time.

Venimos a su cafetería muy regularmente, y debo decir que la comida siempre es perfecto, pero hoy me quedé bastante decepcionado, nos sentamos arriba, que nos solemos hacer, tengo que decir que el servicio es un poco lento cuando sentamos las escaleras, el personal ha dicho antes, se olvidaron que estábamos allí! ! Pero hoy, esperamos 20 minutos a ver a nadie, cuando la camarera llegó, me dijo no te olvidas hogareño de nosotros? Ella groseramente respondió estábamos teniendo nuestro almuerzo! ! ! ! Seguramente hay veces que debe escalonar de comida, una pena ya que se vaya a otro sitio en el futuro.

Metimos en con mi amigo para un chocolate caliente y pedazo de pastel. Tuve Victoria que era muy exuberante de esponja. Mi amigo tenía café y nogal, que de nuevo, era preciosa. El chocolate caliente servido en copas de grande y bonito con un montón de crema y tostar. Sólo vino a menos de 10 libras, extra!

Visita el ángel muy regularmente y nunca decepciona. Toda la comida es fresca, con un gran desayuno pero la tortas caseras son sin duda el último punto de venta! Un servicio agradable y un ambiente relajado.

Perfect tuna jacket potato a huge plate served with fresh salad and homemade red cabbage coleslaw. Fresh Decaffeinated coffee a good flavoursome pot. Very busy and both downstairs and upstairs full so a popular place to eat..Cakes look good maybe try one for another visit soon. parking outside cafe bays one hour no return or free parking just up the road.

We ate here yesterday as a family of four and were very impressed by all The Angel has to offer! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderfully cooked hearty food. Good selection of hot and cold food available. We will definitely be making a return to try some of the delicious looking cakes!

Lovely little quaint coffee shop on Needham high street. Great service. Scrambled eggs on bagel mmmmm. Would definitely highly recommend a visit!

Love Angel for their all day breakfast, breaky bagels, scrummy cakes. Cosy bit of Needham history, fantastic food and service. We love this place!

Friendly welcome, clean and pleasant surroundings, modest prices (£6.50 for veggie breakfast including coffee), efficient service and top quality, freshly made food. Highly recommended, and we will certainly return. It certainly rates higher than many other local venues.

Took our little granddaughter to needham lakes today and walked into the little town to find a cafe. Came across this little quaint one. Looked clean and a homemade menu took us in. Very busy but welcomed us in an even had an upstairs. Very reasonable considering its all freshly prepared an home cooking. An even done chips as that's all our granddaughter likes lol. I had the tom & cheese soup with a warm crusty brown roll. It was very tasty. My other half had a tuna baguette with a nice garnish an fruit bowl. Pot of tea for two to finish off was what we needed on a damp day. Lovely homemade cakes to but we were too full. Will definitely go back again. Thank u for lovely polite service as well. X

My friend and I popped in to see if they did afternoon tea, which they did. They were very friendly despite being close to closing time and couldn't do enough for us. We selected our sandwiches (crusty thick bread and loaded with fillings) and whether we wanted scones or cake. We opted for both. Our pot of tea came out immediately and we had a lovely hour eating and chatting. Will definitely go again

this small café serves very good food we eat here for breakfast which is freshly cooked with good coffee service is very polite and efficient the menu for lunch on specials board looked very appertising

Popped in intending a light Sunday snack but ended up having a roast dinner, we were offered an limited off Sunday menu which we thought was very good of the cafe but instead plumped for the Sunday roast which we enjoyed. Overall very good value, quality and portion size was pleasing. The coffee strong and great flavour. Vegetables cooked perfect and plenty of it, served in a dedicated dish. The staff are excellent made us feel welcome and nothing was a problem.If the Angel read this please note the vegetarian roast option needs a vegetarian gravy to moisten the roast dinner apart from that a lovely place to relax and eat

A lovely find on a day trip to Needham Market.Absolutely outstanding home cooked food. The portions are generous and delicious. I would definitely recommend the sausage and mash and the pie. The home made Victoria sponge is also very exquisite.The atmosphere is very cosy with a bistro/boutique cafe feel.The staff were also very pleasant and the service was top. I definitely know where to eat when I next visit Needham Market.

Lunch with friends, veg curry, English breakfast, roast beef, sausage and mash. All delicious, piping hot. Couldn't fault anything, friendly staff too.

What a lovely little coffee shop, great menu, efficient, friendly staff.The history of the building on the back of the menu was really interesting. We had breakfast, a half breakfast with sauté potatoes and a veggie breakfast, both came hot and tasted great.Coffee was hot and great flavour, the bread was hand cut, thick slices with plenty of butter.We had a really good breakfast in a cosy location and have already recommended it.

This was our first visit to Needham Market and what luck to find this wonderful eaterie.The Angle Tearooms is situated in a 15 century building which still has plenty of character.We chose a soup lunch which was claimed to be home made and sure enough it was.How many times have you ordered home made and end up convinced it is out of a tin.Not in this case and it was delicious.The rest of the menu looked inviting and we will certainly go dark.

Inexpensive (as in, not cheap and cheerful), friendly staff and good, wholesome, food! Why these reviews have to bee 100 characters is beyond me!

Have visited the Angel Coffee Shop on many occasions. Fabulous breakfasts & amazing value Sunday roasts. Great service and tasty food. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food, service in a building with character. A good experience and will definitely go again.

I thoroughly recommend a visit to this lovely little cafe/bistro, especially for a breakfast treat' The choice is very good, I suggest the half breakfast with a side of saute potatos. served with a tea or coffee at £6.10, it is very good value. The local 'Smith's' sausage is delicious. Prices for all the drinks are very reasonable too. The staff are excellent, very efficient and very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Every town should have a place like this. Wonderful coffee and possibly the BEST ever ham and cheese baguette. Real hand carved ham with some taste and the cheese will blow your socks off. Perfect

Stopped here for a quick hot drink and cake with a friend. Had a hot chocolate and couldn't resist trying the mango and passion fruit Victoria Sponge. Really scrumptious!

highly recommended, friendly staff, good service and excellent value as said by a previous reviewer. Prawn salad sandwich is a must and a fantastic selection of home made cakes are also available. A lovely lunch menu on the board is also on offer which I haven't been able to try yet but it is definately on the wish list. Having sampled many tea rooms in the past this is by far the best to date. Well done

Pleasant cafe with friendly service in a lovely little town. Some gorgeous cakes on offer. It was a hot day and no windows were open, which made it rather stuffy. There is seating upstairs, also the loo, which would make it difficult for someone with a disability.

We called in on this lovely cafe, not having been to Needham Market for a very long time. We had coffee and cakes and were not disappointed by either the value or the prices. If we visit the town again, we will most definitely visit this cafe once more. The home made cakes were really lovely and the coffee of a good quality. The building itself is very old and interesting.

A short sojourn was had here while waiting for the train on a chilly winter day. This café isn’t that close to the train station [or main town bus stops for that matter] but all of these are somewhat exposed to the elements…It was a nice well-appointed attractive place to sit and watch the world go by with a nice fresh cup of coffee, or even a more extensive meal, but all too soon it was time to go and walk to the station.However, service was a trifle unhurried despite being three staff seemingly on duty. I suppose it takes time to prepare a fresh cup of coffee or pot of tea, but then most patrons might not be going off to catch a train [or bus]….

I visited here with my girlfriend a few months ago after a lovely walk around the lake, we only stopped for a small bite to eat and some hot drinks but loved it and are very keen to return!

We popped in for lunch one Thursday, found a table easily and placed our order with the waitress. We then waited 1/2 an hour and had to ask if there was a problem with our order before being told that there was a wait, but tables that arrived after us had already been served food. I assume we had been forgotten, but not one person apologised for the wait. Its a shame as when the sandwiches eventually came, they were delicious along with the homemade red cabbage coleslaw. Maybe more training in customer service would help staff be as good as the food served.

Its only small but friendly and the food and drink was just what we needed. We saw other peoples food come up too and it looked so yummy.

Visited the day of the Christmas street fayre. We weren't exactly made to feel welcome but as we had walked in during a very busy time I imagined it was just stressed staff. However they had managed to squeeze us in so long as we had eaten up and left within the hour which wasn't unreasonable, food was ok. However, as we went to pay up and leave, an elderly lady arrived alone and confused to be berated by the staff for arriving late for her table, the poor woman was mortified and had difficulty understanding the young girl. So another member of staff thought it useful to raise her voice assuming the lady was deaf and repeated what had been said beforehand. Other customers by this point, clearly feeling as awkward as myself and my sister had offered to give up their tables for the poor lady until the staff eventually made arrangements for her to stay. Feeling utterly disgusted and in a hurry to leave, I handed over my money at the till for the till girl to sneer at us "she's always late". Was appalled by this quite frankly having worked in a senior community care position, this was no way to manage the situation. What a way to treat your customers, perhaps if you are aware of this ladies constant lateness you can adjust her timings accordingly? If she continues to visit that is. I for one, won't be.

Popped in here whilst waiting to get ready for a wedding at nearby hotel, food and service were excellent. Coffee shop full of character, staff very friendly and helpful.

All day breakfast was amazing as always, couldn't eat anything else. Service was excellent as always.

highly recommended, friendly staff, good service, excellent value,Sunday lunch a must. easy parking, unhurried meal most enjoyable

The first time I come here to eat I had the stack pancakes with bacon and scrambled egg. Today I had the eggs benedict. First time we didn't realise it was cash only and the lady was so lovely and said we could pop by later on in the day with the money and not to leave us short for the day. Love coming here.

Called in one day for coffee and toast,was impressed so decided we would call again for evening meal.Four of us came away totally blown out with delicious food Nd blown away with the service with a smile attitude of staff.Anextremlypleasant experience and a Sunday lunch will be next.

We went here as a quick stop off on our way home from Suffolk, I thought I'd just have a tea but being me I picked the 1/2 cooked breakfast, I chose to have fried bread along with my scrumptious meal and I can safely say it was the best fried bread I've ever tasted, delicious and golden, other people in our party had cakes which looked delightful. The waitress was lovely, overall a lovely cute coffee shop.
