The Green Room Cafe in Ipswich

Changes have been made here in what was a brilliant place to visit..shame.... I feel for those who enjoyed their coffee and meet up we are now stranded outside with takeaway cups and limited pastries etc....I still attend and loyal and will continue to as long as top barister Shaka is there to make coffee....wish u well Su Ling with your new concept and dreams but was so so good before x

Such a shame this venue has changed. Not sure why it cant be a 'community hub' and the lovely cafe it was. As a regular changes don't seem to make business sense or value customers. Seriously sitting squashed on a hard bench with no shelter from elements and a paper cup! On the look for a new place unfortunately. Will miss the lovely staff and sense of community from talking to other regulars. In fact there was naturally a sense of community.

How sad that this perfect little gem of a French cafe is now no longer open for its regular customers but has become an arts venue and “community hub”. Surely the “community” is best served by being open and welcoming to everyone (including their dogs!) and serving delicious food and drinks. Surely there must be a way that the cafe could be open during the day while accommodating clubs in the evening?? A take away coffee in a paper cup and a scone in a cardboard box is absolutely no substitute for what went before.

My first visit to The Greenroom since the format has changed slightly, I'm very happy to report that it's still just as wonderful with the same special atmosphere. So lucky to have this in our neighborhood! Looking forward to trying some of the workshops, got my eye on the Basket weaving.

Great little cafe we would visit regularly. Sadly the owner is now making changes and it will be a takeaway only with the main room being used for art/craft workshops. It was a little gem in Ipswich and a loss for the many of us who frequented it. However good luck to the owner in your new venture but takeaway is just not the same!

I used to like going to this cafe regularly brilliant flat white friendly staff. I won't be going anymore after the recent changes. Takeaway only. The only seating that was there on a hard bench was in the takeaway part which was full and a very small area. The owner looked miserable with her coat on. Sharka very friendly always good to see her. Customers had coats on. Where is the enjoyment in that. It's a great use of space having the seating area closed. I can't see you getting much business when it's cold and wet if your still takeaway. The outside needs a coat of paint.

Absolutely beautiful place! The best French onion soup we have ever had, including those in France. Stepping into this place feels like a French cafe on the streets of Paris. We discovered it by being stuck in traffic on this road and saw it looked lovely. After reading the reviews we thought we’d pop in and we were far from disappointed. Stunning selection of cakes and very reasonably priced for the quality. An absolute gem in Suffolk.

The atmosphere in this little jewel is wonderful. Incredible home made cakes and the best coffee! We love the Green Room!

Lovely lunch, with the most amazing tasting coffee. We'll be back for more. :) Thank you for the great and friendly service

Delightful café with a lovely atmosphere. The coffee is far superior to any of the national brands and there is an array of pastries and cakes of exceptional quality. There is also a small selection of wines and beers alongside soft drinks in the fridge. Comfortable bohemian style café just a few metres from Christchurch Park and the town centre. A real little gem.

Delightful and fully deserving of its 5 star rating! Had a delicious Camembert and apple baguette made with a lovely rustic whole meal baguette accompanied by cornichons and a crisp grated carrot salad washed down by an interesting ginger beer with chilli. Couldn’t resist a slice of apple cake, also delicious. Quick service, very pleasant decor and ambience, all with a subtle French twist.

I visited this cafe today for the first time with my daughter. The coffee was the best I have had. It’s tricky making a good, smooth coffee with oat milk but they achieved it to a superb standard. I had the lime & pistachio cake & it was incredible. I highly recommend! Really lovely staff too.

What a fabulous place to rest in Ipswich!! We went for a lovely bracing walk in the beautiful Christ Church park, and so then to find ourselves in such a warm and friendly French cafe (which was pleasantly crowded but there was room enough for us) was just icing on the cake. The staff were cheerful and friendly. The decor is amazing and the coffee is definitely top quality and rivals the best we have in London. This is the go-to place in Ipswich and I would recommend it to anyone.

I visited the green room after a walk with my wife, cousin, her husband and our collective three toddlers. The place was bustling but the large table was available and given the chilly temperatures we were more than happy to deposit ourselves in the warm side room. The adults had coffees of various sorts and the children had delicious hot chocolates. I also ordered a croissant with butter and jam that arrived warm and flaky, just the way it should be. The service was friendly and given the reasonably large order was brought out to us when everything was ready. The space the green room occupy's has been beautifully renovated and given so much character. It is such a wonderful change from the usual drab, monochromatic chain coffee shops. I hope to get a chance to try the Friday wine night at some point in the future as well. Definitely give this spot a visit if you are in Ipswich or the surrounding area.

Excellent customer service. Friendly, welcoming staff. Great coffee and cakes. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I visited The Green Room for the first time today, and I have to say, it was amazing! The atmosphere was cosy and inviting, and the staff were super friendly. I had the French Onion Soup, hands down the best I've ever had!

small quantities of french inspired food -freshly made- very quirky decor that definitely added to the atmosphere -get there early if you want a choice of food -would use again

This café is the most fabulous café I have ever been to in the world. The staff are so kind and their customer service skills are incredible. They take care to remember your order and the small personal touches make all the difference! Perfect spot for a lunch date, coffee break or a relaxing study session. The food is sensational. Delicious carefully selected ingredients combined to bring you amazing delights to accompany your smooth coffee which is prepared with love every single time!

A great place for a coffee break just a short walk from Christchurch Park. Staff are delightful and super efficient. Drinks are spot on as are the cakes and savoury offerings. The croque looks fab but I haven’t tried it……yet! Oh and they do a beautifully presented babycinno for the little ones

Friends and I spent a fabulous evening here. Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are lovely and so knowledgeable about the food which is predominantly locally sourced. But the star of the show for me is the wine….all imported from France not widely available in the UK and delicious!! Friday nights at the Green Room are my go to weekend treat now!

Absolute gem of a place. Just a minute's walk from Christchurch park, and a similar distance from town. Great coffee and delicious homemade bagels and cakes. What really made it stand out though was the warmth of the welcome. Lovely, professional friendly staff who did everything with a smile. Well done! We'll definitely visit again.

Best croque monsieur ever. We've waited a long time to visit and it was totally worth the wait. Lovely, friendly, professional staff a a great atmosphere. Looking forward to visiting again next time we're back in the UK around Christmas.

We enjoyed their Croque Monsieur and French onion soup and fruity Barn juices. The soup usually comes with cheese sprinkled on bread but I declined the cheese, opting for just delicious slices of granary bread. Our dog enjoyed their Pupcake of liver, oats etc. My...

Lovely and extremely professional service, great care of the customers. A delicious selection of cakes as well as possibly the best coffee in town!

Sharla and Emily are a breath of fresh air in this cafe, with efficiency and a welcoming smile to all customers, this was sadly lacking before their arrival, to the point we stopped going. Now with Emily and Sharla in place we are returning.

Have been visiting The Green Room for Saturday breakfast for a while now, always great pastries and bagels, Croques, baguettes etc. But the best thing about the Green Room (apart from the lovely staff) is the delicious coffee. Dog-friendly too. Thank you Sharka!

A good quality French cafe with a very friendly welcome. The drinks and cakes were delicious. I highly recommend a visit.

Lovely atmosphere and service was great. We will be back and fully recommend you to others. Now we know you have blanquette de limoux, a return is absolute.

An absolutely brilliant Friday evening 'apéritifs and nibbles' at The Green Room. Great atmosphere, lovely food and drinks flowing (would particularly recommend the Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux bubbly). Last but not least, the hosts; Chris and Wayne, made the night with their friendly (and extremely...

I spent nearly 2 hours sat at the Green Room cafe yesterday afternoon - chatting with a friend... tea and cake was lovely and the service was amazing! Will be back very sooN!

Beautiful place very welcoming , lovely and friendly staff, gorgeous food and definitely a place i recommend to come !

This is my favourite cafe in Ipswich. I just love visiting to read my book or study on my lunch breaks. The owner carefully selects the best coffee from roasters all over the country. The food is absolutely divine including delicious fresh pastries and cakes....

Our new favourite Friday night haunt. Great wine straight from the cellar, amazing value cheese board, fabulous service from Chris and Wayne. Oh and great coffee.

We visited the Green room for the first time on Friday evening. It was fabulous! A really relaxing atmosphere, Chris looked after us magnificently and with the sun shining, gorgeous cheese and wine, I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else!

We had an absolutely lovely time in the Green Room this afternoon. The drinks are delicious, as are the cakes (my mum had a gluten-free chocolate ganache-like slice and was thrilled), the service was really wonderful and the environment is just delightful. It’s the type...

My greyhound and I sat outside on the Green opposite a beautiful church near Christchurch Park. I enjoyed a delicious coffee and pain au raisin and the dog her own baked biscuit! Don't miss a chance to visit this little gem, inspired by Paris using...

Just out of the centre of town, this cafe caters for vegetarians and those who want a light lunch as well as coffee lovers. Salads are fresh, quiches just right and home made, and dogs are very welcome. They made us feel welcome too and...

This is an interesting cafe very close to Christchurch Park. They have some outside tables. Due to COVID-19 the menu is very limited but it is very safe and they do stick to the regulations.

Full of charm and character .... both the place and the people! And to top it all, great coffee. Bravo

I try to make a trip to this cafe every month as there is always a different artistisan displaying something wonderful. The coffee is specially selected and I can taste why! The food is just the sort of fair you wish you could make at...

Lovely spot nearby Christchurch Park - the staff were very welcoming and kindly explained their coffee range, which was delicious. We were also tempted to an amazing vegan blueberry scone! One of the best independent coffee shops in Ipswich.

Excellent venue for top hot drinks and snacks. Friendly staff. Will defo be using more when I start my new job in Ipswich, just hope I can get a seat! Keep up the great work, always busy when we come.

I brought my parents here when they visited Ipswich and they loved it. Cosy arty cafe that's vegan and dog friendly. The staff are wonderful and an added bonus.

Great vegan and vegetarian options, lovely food, friendly staff and dog friendly! Highly recommended.

Wonderful ambience: great interior design with old French songs playing in the background (La mer, as I write this) Wonderful cakes,food & beverages. I'll be back to try more things!

A simple but innovative menu freshly prepared , with a french accent and served piping hot by friendly and charming staff. A cafe that’s a little different

I love this place. I visit frequently with my young son for a 'coffee and juice' and always leave thoroughly refreshed and uplifted. The decor is distinctly French with a lovely, arty feel. The service is unfailingly friendly and the coffee EXCELLENT! The Green Room...

The hoards travelling to Ed Sheeran’s East Anglian home coming in Ipswich should seek out this gem of a cafe for great coffee, lunch or picnic pack. I visited with my family and my brother’s family on a Friday and nine of us were easily...

We visited The Green Room today and were very impressed. Great coffee and brunch food. Would really recommend a visit!

Formerly a long-standing antique and furniture shop the place has been converted with originality and style into a charming cafe. There is a French vibe with an interesting blackboard of breakfasts and light lunches. Everything we ate was gorgeous - we could tell that the...

What a gem of a cafe. The coffee is delicious, as are the cheese scones and cakes. I’ve tried loads already! Well worth a visit for good food, a lovely atmosphere and the regular artists in residence.

This cafe has only recently opened and because the service was not so slick is the reason why I rated the cafe as "very good" rather than "excellent". The cafe is interesting as it is aiming to be a venue for arts as well as...

Great French cafe menu, really nice decor and friendly people. Another really good cafe option for lunch in Ipswich
