The Snug Tea Room in Suffolk Coastal

Just perfect, lovely staff and great food...

The only thing that needs to change at the Snug Tearoom is, absolutely nothing! It’s perfect. The staff, the food, the ambiance.

Just had an afternoon tea in these quaint tea rooms. It was superb, all freshly baked. Assorted sandwiches, mini sausage rolls and scones, cream tea and a further selection of mini cakes and Eton mess. Also tea,coffee & cold drinks. Very polite staff and all for a very reasonable price. Thank you

What a brilliant tea room highly recommended, we were staying in Thorpeness and were looking for a place to have a cream tea, everything was delicious 3 different jams available to choose with the scones, one of our group had a slice of carrot cake and the tea was plentiful, go you won’t be disappointed

Delicious and beautifully presented cream tea with plenty of tea using loose leaf tea. Excellent service and they even kindly reserved a plain scone for one of our group when phoning to book.

Wonderful in every way. Food amazing and staff very friendly. The biggest slices of gorgeous cake I’ve ever had and wonderfully hot coffee. Will definitely be back!

Brilliant little gem of a rustic themed tea room in the heart of the East Suffolk Coast area of outstanding natural beauty. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Coffee choices were great and I'd recommend to anyone in the area hiking or visiting to book in. Walk up is available and in the warmer months they have a small garden with seating. Dogs are welcome inside.

Amazing afternoon tea, best I have ever eaten! Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was sublime. Prices reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

We stopped for coffee & cake on the way back from the beach at Dunwich. A better little tea room you couldn’t wish to find. A very warm welcome, lovely inside and great for dogs. Probably the best cup of coffee in the county 😊 Generous slices of delicious cake! Next time around, we’ll stop for longer and enjoy some of the savoury dishes. Tip: Walk your dogs on the beach and then head straight for Westleton and The Snug Tea Room for refreshments. Be sure to book though!

Super friendly family run tea room . Everything served is generous and tasty . Amazing cakes . Worth taking the time to visit .

Just came back from a fantastic visit to The Snug. Child and dog friendly, we brought our dog and two children. Nothing was too much trouble. My son wanted an ice cream which was not on the menu, they offered to nip to the shop next door! He was thrilled. We had the broccoli and stilton soup and a few sandwiches. All the food was fantastic. The soup was probably the best soup I've ever had! So savoury and flavoursome without being over seasoned (I hate black pepper so I was really pleased) my dad had a slice of cake and said it was amazing. I'm sad I was too full for cake because the looked to die for. The staff were so friendly and kind. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Beautiful setting in a little country garden. Really friendly people and absolutely delicious food. it's a gem. Would definitely return if we go back to Suffolk.

What a wonderful find. Great food with fantastic service and one of the most welcoming and hospitable establishments we’ve ever visited. We’ll be back..

Dropped by when out cycling and Dunwich Dingle was shut, 8 of us. So glad did as very looked after with great service and pleasant garden atmosphere. Even had plain scones, a rare thing these days!

Came here after the planned coffee stop on our cycle ride was closed and what a find. This place is an absolute gem. Staff could not be more helpful, outside seating area is lovely and the cakes were delicious (generous portions too). Can’t recommend this highly enough and I shall definitely return.

Not the first time here, but as the first time was lovely we returned and was equally as good. Their sandwiches, cakes and drinks are lovely and we will definitely be returning. They are dog friendly which is lovely, as our friend has 2 dogs. The staff are really friendly, nothing is too much trouble.

Every time we visit this area we have to come here! Their homemade soups are so delicious as are their sausage rolls, paninis & cakes etc..Jane & her team are so welcoming & the delightful interior adds to the ambience. On a warm day there is seating outside too. Thank you all & see you again soon xx

Please visit I urge you, based on positive reviews and how spot on the reviews are. We had two panini which was garnished with salad that was actually dressed and not just some dried lettuce and tomato. We also had a slice of locally baked delicious homemade cake. All in a nice snug, pardon the pun environment. Highly recommended.

We visited this lovely cafe as part of special birthday celebrations for two of our group of friends. What a perfect little gem! We had two afternoon teas for the birthdays girls & two ploughman’s. All of the food was delicious with everything homemade. Loads of it too! The staff were such fun & so friendly. Highly recommended & we will definitely be returning in the summer & sitting outside.

Very charming place. Lovely food. Excellent staff. Very welcoming.

A lovely little venue tucked away in the village of Westleton, Suffolk. Great choice of menu and lots of home made choices. If that was not enough as well as first rate food we had first rate service by staff who were attentive and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.

fantastic people and a great service

Always feel snug - and smug 😏, to be able to enjoy this heart to the village. Great food and atmosphere 👌

A beautiful friendly well run 'small' cafe. Delicious scones and bacon bsps. But well worth turning off the A12 for. Also the village shop with everything. We will be back.

Been here a couple of times, just love it. Everything is just right, so many good points they would be to numerous to list

Lovely little Tea Room we visited almost by accident. Food was delicious and the service was friendly.

A good place to eat,and best to ring up 1st to book a table not many inside

Very friendly and welcoming. Situated in a quaint will near the coast. Great walks nearby. Highly recommended.

What a gem! Five of us called in for lunch after a morning at RSPB Minsmere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They offered a decent selection of sandwiches and paninis - the coronation chicken went down a treat. Some of us tried to leave space for a slice of cake: they are HUGE, so it was a struggle…. The coffee & walnut cake was delicious. The range of teas and coffees was also good, so when we left we all felt well fed and watered.

Lovely quaint little tea room. Everything was fabulous.

What a gem of a place! We had a group of nine. We made a reservation at very short notice, but they accommodated us and made our visit very memorable. The staff were delightful and thoughtful. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely. Well worth a visit! Thank you.

The food and the service were very good 👍

Lovely staff, good food and excellent value for money. A must to visit but best to book.

Quaint little tea shop in Westleton, had a lovely ploughman's lunch with local ham. Very friendly staff who put themselves out as I have a dairy intolerance and hubby has gluten intolerance,on the plus side home made cakes which were delicious and Gluten free too.

We Love this cosy tea room,food lovely and staff really friendly 😁the best hot choclate

We were a tad disappointed to be moved from 'our spot' where we had sat on a previous occasion and our chalkboard was there again...but then 4 people came in so we were asked to move 😔 BUT the food, as always was amazing. Oh and to add that we didn't have any butter for the cheese scones - everyone was Super busy running around and an order came in that it just seemed inappropriate to interrupt 😔

Fantastic little tea shop, great service and wonderful tea, cakes and scones. Dog friendly and although the inside is small they have a lovely courtyard area out the back to enjoy too.

Amazing little cafe. If only it were open for longer and more days. We had a wonderful family lunch here with our kids (little uns 3 n 6) and the small garden is lovely in summer with a great food menu and so well presented with edible flowers amusing for the boys!

What a lovely quaint little tea room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. A great range of food and snacks available and they always try to accommodate guests. The cakes are gorgeous and look homemade. The one disappointment was the stale and dry toasted tea cake. We should have sent them back but we don’t like complaining when other customers are around. That being said we will happily return next time we are in the area.

The Snug was highly recommended on my visit to Westleton so we booked for afternoon tea, absolutely loved it. Great selection of sweet and savory freshly made food and refills of tea or coffee. I compared it to a "posh hotel" afternoon tea I had recently on this was far nicer and great value for money. I will definitely be back on my next visit. Thank you for making us so welcome.

We called in after seeing good reviews, when in the area and were greeted by very friendly staff the minute we arrived. The choice and quality of food was all around us and was difficult to choose, the cakes were show stoppers ! The scones were delicious . Afternoon tea looked amazing (pre booking required as expected) - hope to get back to try this during our holiday , we would highly recommend the tea rooms .

We cannot recommend this little gem highly enough as fantastic on all levels of welcoming service and the cakes. We sat in the tranquil gardens at the back as we had our 2 dog's with us. There are dog bowls scattered about and even the dog's were offered a dog biscuit which they enjoyed. The garden is pretty with lots of colourful flowers adding to the ambience and big umbrella's for shade, every need has been carefully thought of. Our freshly baked scones didn't disappoint and I opted for the fruit with jam and cream option and my husband had cheese scone with a delicious chutney and some pieces of tasty cheese, which were perfectly presented. The tea was proper loose tea too! All the staff were so happy and it was a delight to visit ~ thank you we will return, we just can't rate it enough.

I've enjoyed The Snug a number of times but felt compelled to review after my most recent visit. The staff, including the two gorgeous cockapoo "meeters and greeters" are so friendly and welcoming. I called in advance to ask if it would be possible to have a dairy free cake option as it was my birthday (and knowing how accommodating the team are based on other reviews) and they went completely above and beyond, serving up three delicious mini cakes and a scone. If you're in the area, a warm welcome and good food are guaranteed.

The Afternoon Tea was exceptional and good value 4 money, have been there 3 times 4 an Afternoon Tea and they have always been really really lovely, staff very friendly and helpful

A wonderful find. We popped in today for soup and coffee which were both delicious and piping hot. We sat in their lovely courtyard garden. Extremely friendly and made our nervous dog feel very welcome and at ease.

Our third visit to this tea room and again it didn't disappoint. Lunch was excellent and the lemon and blueberry cake was fantastic. Previously had afternoon tea which is the best in the area and great value.

Lovely Cheese Scone with Chutney. Friendly Service. Great little tea room.

Lovely tea, lovely cakes, lovely staff. Welcoming committee of two small dogs who are really sweet and so well-behaved.

We had such a lovley lunch at the snug. The staff are so friendly and effecient. Jane theowner gave us such a great welcome and the food was the best I've had for ages so fresh. Dog friendly and cosy surroundings

Best tea room in the UK, staff lovely and food is 5 stars

Great coffee and hot chocolate, amazing cakes and friendly and welcoming staff who told us lots about village and area. Very dog friendly.

Beautiful little tea room in Westleton. Home made cakes, scones etc absolutely delicious. Ample portion size, quality products and excellent value for money. Staff very pleasant and welcoming, decor attractive and resident dogs Mable and Daisy a delight. A must visit.

Absolutely amazing afternoon tea served here, best around and iv tried a few, it’s so ‘snug’ and super friendly staff, definitely recommend and will be returning soon. Thank you.

The description is spot on - It is very snug (tables also in garden ) with log burner keeping it warm. Dogs very welcome. The owners were delightful, friendly and very accommodating to a group of us who called in on a walk from Dunwich. Although we only had coffee the food around looked very good and was reasonably priced as well. Lovely home made cakes, jacket potatoes, soup etc. Great pity we didn’t have time to stay.

I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the food. Everything about this little place is perfect. The ladies are so welcoming and the Eccles cakes are truly wonderful!!! Thank you!

Delicious hot tomato and pepper soup, and tasty cream tea. Enjoyed in a dog friendly tea room. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Just the ticket after a winter walk.

Nice friendly staff, nice food. Dog friendly.

Came here for a late lunch today with my husband and our son. We were made very welcome as was our dog, who was spoilt with biscuits and some lovely fresh water. The ladies were very friendly we ordered chicken curry which was delicious nicely spicy but not overly hot. Our son had the vegan bean chilli which he thoroughly enjoyed. We followed this with cake, so many to choose from. Tea came in a proper pot with a tea strainer hot chocolate with 2 flakes. If you want a lovely quaint tea room this is definitely the place to go.

Always enjoy a visit to The Snug Tea Room.

A lovely tea room. The inside is traditionally beautiful and so is the garden. Take your choice. The menu is everything you could wish for from a Suffolk tea room. Friendly and helpful service make the whole experience a relaxing delight. PS Closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Such a pretty place. Lovely staff and the Best cream tea around.

Wonderful cream tea treat here. Also bookable afternoon teas available from 2pm onwards that looked a real treat!

This is a treasure! The family that runs the snug is so kind and the food is lovely. They have truly high quality food and, as pictured, smoothies

WE were staying in Leiston and en route to Dunwich or Southwold or Minsmere we would go through the lovely little village of Westleton and pass the Snug Tea Room. On the final day we stopped there for lunch and were glad we hadn't missed out. The food was wonderful. There is a good range of soups and the Suffolk ham salad, sausage bap and coffee walnut cake were all delicious. It was more than just the food though. It is a friendly and informal place where dogs are welcome and people drop in to see what cakes are on offer that day. The kind of Tea Room you always hope to come across.

We visited the Snug Tearoom for lunch and we’re greeted by a lovely, friendly member of staff who took us to our table. The tea rooms are ‘snug’ - perfectly cosy and comfy. A real traditional tearoom feel. The menu was great and the food we chose was all delicious. Most of all the kind, attentive staff were excellent. Helpful, efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you. Also, our dog was made to feel at home too!

We’ve been coming to Suffolk for a number of years now and stopped by at the Snug in Westleton one afternoon before heading back to our holiday park. With everything from Traditional Afternoon Tea served in lovely teapots and saucers to Ploughman’s they have it all and more. This family run charming village snug is great if you want a nice relaxing time. Whether on your own, with family or friends it won’t disappoint. We had our four legged friend with us too and he was made to feel welcome and he got on great with the owners dog. We always stop by for something and today was no exception. Oh and by the way the home made cakes are amazing too. This really is one of Suffolks hidden gems! We will be back soon The Parkers

All in a comfortable dog friendly environment. What more can you want? This is better fir afternoon tea than the more commercial seaside hotel offers.

After reading the great reviews decided to give this place a try and were not disappointed. We visited with our rather large dog and were all made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We sat outside and very much enjoyed our scones and tea in the courtyard garden. The staff were excellent, all were working very hard. Our only disappointment was we ran out of time to return in our week's holiday! This place has the added bonus with being joined to the village store. Again we cannot fault this place. It is so well stocked and very reasonably priced. There is a great selection of food and wines. It also has fresh bread, we assume from the bakery. We tried the Norfolk cob to go with our dinner and it was beautiful. Again this is run very well with lovely staff.

This was a wonderful find after our journey to Westleton for the start of our holiday. We had a very large dog with us but he was made very welcome in the garden of this quaint little tearooms. The garden is an unexpected surprise and...

We happened on this delightful tea rooms by chance and decided to stop for a mid morning coffee. The welcoming staff and owners couldn’t have been more inviting. The scones are delicious and surpassed only by the sausage roll I consumed on the second visit...

Delightful garden, attentive cheerful owner and 'staff'. Ploughman's and a salad freshly prepared, really good. A must if you are visiting locally. Other customers said the cakes were amazing.

Called in today by chance just for tea and cake, but once we saw the main menu selected a ham salad and ploughman’s, both amazing value at less than £9 each. Beautifully presented by very friendly staff, and so tasty. Good selection of cakes available...

What a fantastic find, such friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food served in the very pretty garden. So good to find a tea room that welcomes dogs and makes a fuss of them too. The ploughman’s and lemon and blueberry cake were superb and we...

Quick stop for a cup of tea. Wonderful service and the cake was delicious. Very reasonably priced. Lovely garden.

Wonderful cakes, tea and coffee, lovely service, such a treasure of a place with great decor, presentation, very friendly staff and a sweet little garden round the back if the weather's nice. Highly recommend!

Our party of four humans and one dog called into The Snug last week and had a top-notch visit. Our table was in the wee garden round the back and it felt like we'd dropped in on friends for coffee and a catch-up. The spiced parsnip and apple soup is definitely recommended, as are the chocolate orange, and carrot cakes. If only we'd not waited until the last day of our holiday to visit! Will definitely be back.

Lovely friendly people, delicious sandwiches, great coffee and superb cakes. A must visit.

Should have known better. Not normally concerned about such trivial matters but after a 6 mile trek to find a lookalike had consumed the last sausage rolls, very miffed indeed. Fortunally, compensation was achieved by a very calorific wedge of triple chocolate cake infused with...

We have just visited for lunch and absolutely loved it! So homely and cosy we wished we lived nearer to come here more. Thank you so much x

Fabulous characterful little place.Hosts very warm and welcoming to humans and canines. Food fresh,tasty and beautifully presented.Not to be missed if you're in the area and in need of sustenance!

This cosy, dog friendly tea room is situated in the picturesque village of Westleton. The food is delicious and the owner is lovely. We shall definitely return.

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my two daughters in celebration of an early . mothering Sunday. Would love to go again

This place is something else! A real hidden gem. I'm not surprised it has so many 5 star reviews. We had such a warm welcome and the food was out of this world. Hubby in the back making soup and wifey out the front laying on the charm. Come and eat here .. you won't be disappointed!

Lovely little tea room off the beaten track. Very traditional and great quality and service. Seating inside and out.

Lovely little vosy village cafe. Excellent value for money

Visited whilst out for a walk with the dog. Lovely little place. Dogs are welcome. Such a friendly and welcoming place. Food is simple but homemade and absolutely gorgeous. We’ll worth a visit.

Small but perfectly-formed little tearoom with wonderful, friendly service and delicious selection of cakes, scones, and snacks. Went for a cuppa and a scone but in the end were seduced by more substantial things on the menu (ploughman’s & a panini) so settled in for...

We visited here on the 19th of feb for afternoon tea and there were 9 of us they had to cater for. Firstly the food was absolutely delicious (the sausage rolls in particular we’re my fav I think) and the service was really warm and welcoming. I really record this place if you’re looking for a nice cozy, warm, welcoming spot of lunch or afternoon tea or just tea and a bit of cake. Thank you to al the staff for the fabulous service.

Found this place online after looking for things to do for a birthday weekend away with the girls. Friendly, welcoming and lovely homemade food! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. Book in advance. :) Thank you

9 of us booked for afternoon tea :) the cakes and the sandwiches were delicious, handmade by the owners and other local people in the village. There are other items available on the menu too like soups which are also homemade! 😋 Such an adorable...

Afternoon tea today at the snug. Fantastic- the picture speaks for itself ! Could not manage to eat everything but will finish it later this evening . Dogs even got their own afternoon snack

What a delightful cafe. Would be even better if they had more than one vegan option.

After a 4 mile walk yesterday in brilliant sunshine to your warm, cosy, unique, happy and cheerful tea room, the homemade sausage roll (probably the finest in Westleton), and a wedge of 3 tiered ginger cake with butter icing (phew) , my wife and I...

Small but perfectly formed. Cheerful staff, good home made cakes and, that rarest of offerings in East Anglia - plain scones (as well as fruit and cheese). Can't wait to return for some lunch.

Put this on your to do list. Excellent menu. Great for a catch up coffee and cake with friends. It's worth booking a table as it's really popular. Friendly staff, extremely helpful.

Wonder place, great service, great food, lovely garden, simply the Best.

Found this gem after trying to find cream tea in Walberswick, no luck there! Friendly staff, lovely garden, delicious cream tea and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely afternoon tea at The Snug. Attention to detail was second to none. The scones and sausage rolls were especially tasty! Cakes and sandwiches were delicious. I'd recommend a visit and would definitely visit again.

Amazing!! Amazing afternoon tea enjoyed here with friends on our weekend away. Beautifully presented, freshly made sandwiches, sausage roll and cheese scone just to start! Choice of plain or fruit scone with jam and cream followed by amazing selection of small homemade cakes with unlimited...
