The Cyclist Café in Babergh

Called here on a ride with friends, great hospitality, great food and drink, really accommodating as we descended, unannounced on our ride from London to Cambridge. Thanks!

I am so pleased my owners enjoy the coffee and brunch at The Cyclist because they make the the best dog biscuits for one pound and you get a free bowl of water. Plus it's the halfway point on some of the most beautiful walks in town - across the water meadows and via the Stour Valley footpath. I'll definitely come here again !

Very good value for money - we especially liked the freshly baked sourdough and fish stew that we had. Probably suits a slightly more sophisticated taste. Coffee is best in town.

The service was extremely slow, and the goulash meal we had was no more than a small dish of watery soup with very little bread. Not our idea of gourmet food they profess to serve. There was no one behind the counter when we arrived and when eventually our order was taken they disappeared so the counter area was left empty for some considerable time. Customer service was non-existant.
