One of the best afternoon teas I've had, everything was very fresh, wel presented and delicious. The atmosphere is very nostalgic, the service is excellent and the friendliness of the staff is wonderful. Highly recommended, one of my favourite places to go.

Amazing This is like a step back in Time, think you’re old great aunt, your grandma, such a relaxed atmosphere. The food is brilliant. The owner waiter is so welcoming. Do you feel like you’ve stumbled on a long lost cousin. I’ve been here with various friends and fiance And each time has been fantastic. I’ve brought Eastern European friends to show what a English nineteen forties to fifties or even 70s as I remember my grandma I would be like. I hope it always stays in business for quite a few more friends to introduce to this place.

A tranquil haven of peace, comfort, delightful 40s memorabilia, great service and very reasonably priced lunch. I will be thoroughly recommending to friends and neighbours alike.

The tearoom is a day out in itself, the collection of wartime memorabilia the owners have on display is amazing. Adam & Clive are exceptional hosts who look after you and make your visit relaxed and homely. It's a must see.

Service was amazing as well as the food taking one step through the door was like a step in the past

Looking for a light lunch before theatre we found this delightful tea room. Very welcoming hosts invited us to explore the 3 storey building while lunch was being prepared. The WW2 memorabilia was fantastic and back ground music excellent we even had a couple of air raid warnings. Food was very good served on period crockery. We finished off with two gigantic slices of cake. I would highly recommend this tea room and will definitely return. Thank you for a beautiful time.

We would go back every week!! The place was spotless and the quality of the food was excellent! the staff were amazing and they did not rush me. The prices are affordable and the place took me back in time and I loved the whole experience. The 5 star food rating is brilliant and well deserved. June and John.

Tucked away in one of the loveliest streets in Ipswich, this delightful little cafe is full of surprises. Its like a little museum overflowing with WW2 memorabilia. And the tea and scones are good too! Plus the staff are very friendly, interesting and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit for something different and worthwhile.

What a little gem! Gorgeous tearoom full of history. Very friendly staff. Excellent food and cakes. Good value and very friendly atmosphere

Super tea room, lovey 1940s environment, perfect for only one who loves this era, wants to remember or just for a cuppa while out and about. Owners super friendly and accommodating. Family photos on the wall as well as customer’s family from the war time. We will definitely return to try out the parlour and the officers mess.

Very welcoming place. Lots of local memorabilia, donated by locals. Food was delicious. A very leisurely 3 hours, did not feel rushed. Will definitely return, will highly recommend to family and friends.

I think the definition of “Perfection!” needs to be updated in the dictionary to include The Blitz Tea Room! Such a warm and very welcoming greeting from the moment we stepped in the door, and the attentiveness was faultless! We celebrated my daughter third birthday and she was treated like VIP which made her feel very special! We WILL return! No doubt about that! ❤️

We celebrated my husbands 60th Birthday here. We had to cancel our original booking and Adam & Clive were so accommodating with us rebooking with lots of emails backwards and forwards. We love coming here for afternoon tea which is why we chose to come here to celebrate a special birthday. You are warmly welcomed as soon as you walk through the door. We were upstairs and had the room to ourselves as there were six of us. The food is amazing and plenty of it. What we couldn't eat we got to take home. The style and theme of the place is just brilliant so much attention to detail and you are encouraged to walk around if you want to look at everything. It is like a museum just brilliant. Thankyou so much for such a lovely afternoon. We are looking forward to coming again. Might need the use of the high chair then!

I've just had a delicious cream tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. Served on beautiful crockery in relaxing surroundings by a wonderful proprietor. The whole experience needs to be repeated. I'll be back as soon as I can. I would highly recommend this delightful tea...

A special visit for us as my wife Gill had previously sent a picture of her dad (George Noy) in RAF uniform, and it was so nice to see him there. Adam & Clive must have gone to great lengths to recreate such wonderful ambiance...

Really enjoyed stepping back in time today at the Blitz tearoom in Ipswich. Adam made us feel so welcome and looked after us throughout our visit. Lovely food, lots to see and we look forward to going back. Can highly recommend.

We happened to be walking past yesterday morning and looked in the window with awe. We were very kindly invited in for a little tour, wow what an amazingly special and moving place to be ❤️ Later at lunchtime we couldn’t resist and went back...

Amazing as always. Delicious food and friendly service!! And we enjoyed the afternoon tea for the first time which was fantastic.

Marvellous nostalgic cafe with every detail lovingly displayed. Lovely food, delicious loose tea in beautiful China and giant retro teapot. Run by two very friendly and welcoming owners. Absolutely charming and for 1 hour I was transported back to my nanny’s living room. Feels like...

We held a party here for 22 people. Adam and Clive could not have done more to make the event go smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very accommodating. The food is great and the atmosphere there is so relaxed. The tearooms...

So many places nowadays seem sadly indifferent to their customers. Not so the Blitz 1940's tearoom. Adam and Clive really make you feel welcome and that your custom is valued. Visited again today with a friend for coffee and toasted teacakes and it was all...

We visited on 13th September for afternoon tea. The place is beautifully decorated and furnished in 1940s style with so much to look at, read and even listen to with a 1940s radio station playing period music. The food is absolutely delicious too and we...

We popped in for lunch, after looking at the owls from the hoot trail at the Corn Exchange. What a find. Both my children had a strawberry milkshake and sandwiches, which were delicious and very generous portions, with crisps and salad on the side. My...

Stopped here for a quick cup of tea with the family. Ended up having full afternoon tea. The service was perfect and they were all so friendly and attentive. The food is amazing especially the sausage roll. The themeing is brilliant. A lovely afternoon with...

Morning coffee at this delightful tea shop was the highlight of our day. It was all that we remembered from upmarket tea shops to which we were taken as children. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful, embroidered table cloths and delicate tea cups to the...

Had the most amazing afternoon tea at The Blitz 1940 tearoom. Although I have had quite a few "afternoon teas" at different places over the years, this was my most favourite! The setting with 1940 radio and memrobellia together with such a fantastic spread makes...

The Blitz Tea Room, hidden in the depths of St Peters Street is creating memories that will stay with you forever. The very old building has been sympathetically decorated and has hundreds of war time memorabilia to view whilst enjoying excellent service from Adam and...

Lovely 1580’s building with an excellent 1940’s themed tea rooms. Good food and friendly owners make this an experience not to be missed!

I have now visited this fantastic tearoom on a number of occasions with both family and friends. The welcome from Adam and Clive is always very friendly and warm. As it states in the name, it is a tea room set in the 1940s. The...

Well that was fabulous, we were in the area for Suffolk Pride and just happened to find this gem. The staff were most helpful and made us so welcome where we had a fabulous afternoon tea. They have made it look as authentic to 1940’s...

Wow, what a wonderful little tea room. The decor and memorabilia was fabulous, the food absolutely delicious and the staff super friendly. Everyone who visits Ipswich should go there!

We have visited the blitz tea rooms a few times and decided to have an afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast. With 20 adults and 7 children to cater for I cannot praise them enough.. The food and service was 5 star and then some....

We popped in this morning for the first time. Such a wonderful place, spread over 3 floors, full of memorabilia from the 1940's. We were given a little tour and opted to sit in the Officers' Mess for a coffee and cheese scone . So...

Fabulous afternoon tea for 50th birthday celebration. Adam and Clive couldn't do any more to make this a lovely place. Very friendly, lovely filling food, huge cakes. Endless tea and coffee. So much memorabilia on the walls and around you, music of the decade playing...

Character tea room over 3 floors decorated in a 1940’s theme with real newspapers and magazines to read, personal artefacts, some have been donated, and a real historical feel. Friendly owners who welcome you and lovely food. Had a cream tea on the 1st floor...

Great place for lunch or afternoon tea- loved the food and service. Super interesting setting and the owners are lovely and really interested in the period.

Highly recommend - the guys who own and run the tea room are really friendly. Lovely atmosphere and food very tasty.

What a lovely find. When checking the internet for places to visit in Ipswich, this little gem didn't appear. While walking from the Marina toward the town centre came across the blitz tea room. All set out like a 1940's tea room, with 1940's radio...

Superb place to enjoy a delicious meal in a timeless atmosphere! I come from France and I travel a lot in the UK; it's not easy to find such places that are so warm, historic and where the food is so good. The two managers...

You could spend all day here looking at all the items on display. We didn't have so much time but thoroughly our large pot of tea and the most delicious scone with jam and cream. The delightful and charming owners explained the background to the...

On a day trip to Ipswich as a lone traveller I came across a few revues for this new vintage tearoom, and it was the highlight of my trip (don’t get me wrong the town is very interesting, but the welcome I received at “Blitz”...

Lovely place for tea and cake and lots of other yummy things. Lovely Hosts, pretty china, soothing music, you can wander and look at their collections, I really enjoyed my visit.

I just can't praise this place enough. Was made to feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Sat in the parlour upstairs beside the window with the Christmas tree beside us which smelled lovely. The food was delicious, they brought us a fresh pot...

The staff here will give you a warm, enthusiastic welcome and help you settle into your themed room of choice. The decor set in the 1940s is fun, but there is no evidence of rationing. They serve large pots of tea with beautiful china, and...

Excellent place to have a proper cream tea. This place is like a museum. A great attention is given to details. Owners are so nice, they will make your experience unforgetable. It's the most beautiful tea shop I have ever been to in the UK...

Fabulous food, proper tea in a china cup and great hosts make this an exceptional place to sit and enjoy the different themed rooms. Thank you for making our first visit so enjoyable. We will be back.
