The Tea Shed in Suffolk Coastal

What a lovely friendly place. Well worth a visit.

This was an accidental visit but we will certainly be returning! It is so refreshing to find ALL members of staff super friendly and welcoming - it really makes all the difference. The cakes in tea shops and cafes are often the obvious product of large food wholesalers but the Tea Shed cakes and scones are really top notch made with care on the premises. The Ricotta and Plum cake was an absolute award winner! Super friendly to our dogs and faultless food & service - we will certainly be back,

We enjoyed this place that we dropped in twice during our week's stay in the area. Good selection of cakes as well as lunch selection. Service was quick and the staff were all helpful and courteous

The afternoon tea is simply the best, from the savouries through to the sweets every item was first class, the staff are very friendly and so helpful.

Cute cafe, with a nice range of cakes including coffee and walnut, lemon and blueberry, and hazelnut cake. There are tables indoors and outdoors and the staff are very friendly. My only issue is that there are no toilets in this cafe, however there are public toilets nearby. I recommend this cafe.

Wonderful afternoon tea! Such a fabulous selection

This small shed-like building contains a small cafe which we found to be excellent - well run by friendly people, and nice food (lunch an assortment of soup, sandwiches, cakes). Really most pleasant on an utterly vile January day. The cakes were delightful (as others note here). Unpretentious and really just right.

We went in and were served by the most lovely, happy, friendly lady called Gemma. The tea was perfect and the cakes were delicious. The children had chocolate bombs which were fun and tasty too. Definitely recommend. Thank you again to Gemma for making us all smile!

Fantastic place to stop for a warming drink and a bite to eat

We went to the Tea Shed for afternoon tea which was a Christmas present from a friend. The food was incredible. There was so much of it and a really good variety. The people working there were just lovely, so welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit. 10/10 from us.

Another treat visit to The Tea Shed, the Lemon Curd Bakewell Tart was delicious as was the Golden Vegetable Soup & Panini. The staff are always polite, helpful & welcoming. They are very dog friendly & our two dogs always enjoy their visits too.

Stopped here to refuel on our walk from Dunwich to Walberswick and back again. The service was friendly and quick. We sat outside and it was a warm sunny day. The coffee was great and the brownie amazing! If I am ever here again then I will definitely pop by for a coffee!

Sought refuge from the deluge today after walking over from Southwold. So welcoming and friendly. We had the soup of the day which was delicious. Everyone was lovely and Hector the miniature Schnauzer enjoyed a tasty dog treat. Thank you.

Really liked this place, a beautiful setting, friendly staff and excellent Victoria sponge. Dog friendly inside and out.

Lovely staff with amazing food! 🤤

Lovely place with beautiful homemade cakes …date slice was fab. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are very friendly. They welcome dogs

Had pannini crisps salad really good

Called today 18/9/2023. Absolutely lovely staff brought the dogs a biscuit,good cake best cup of proper tea around. See you next year.

Wonderful place really welcoming staff even if you have a damp dirty doggie. Lovely fresh food and reasonable price

Food and service excellent, atmosphere score down due to other customers 'fighting' for tables. One customer in particular, selfishly sitting on their own, at a table for four, and seemingly set for the day! Not sure what the tea shop can do about this tbf.

Excellent stop in the middle of nowhere. Friendly. Great service and views to die for. Uninterrupted for as far as you can see in any direction too.

Friendly welcoming staff, excellent cakes and drinks at keen prices. Visited at the start and end of a walk to Dunwich. Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly staff. Sat in the garden as we had dog with us, was made very welcome . Extra hot water was automatically provided with our tea which was very much appreciated.

Visited the tea shed today and received a warm welcome. I had a fruit swirl and a latte. The coffee was lovely and the fruit swirl was delicious and packed with fruit. Very tasty indeed. My hubby had tea and a cheese and ham swirl which he said was very nice. Both the service and atmosphere was very friendly. In fact we enjoyed it so much we popped in for another cuppa in the afternoon after our walk into Southwold!!!

Visited this characterful tearoom on the Green with my wife when we drove into Walberswick at the start of our holiday. Only had a flat white coffee and cake to revive us after the journey but both were excellent. In particular the date slice was delicious and very sizeable. The more substantial food coming out of the kitchen looked good. The staff were friendly and polite.

FANTASTIC ! We're local and walk from Dunwich to Walberswick with dog about 4 times a year. We ALWAYS refresh at The Tea Shed. Why? Easy: The cakes are yummy, fresh, decent portion. Coffee tastes good. Service at checkout is friendly and engaging. The waitress that delivered our order to table was exuding happiness. Then, she brings out treats for the dog!!! It's all 5 Star. Thank you!

Absolutely disgusted with the service I received today from staff. The young girl working at the till physically snatched the menu out of our hands and told us we were too late to order lunch, even though they stopped serving lunches at 2pm and we were there before that. We literally listened two gentlemen in front of us order their lunch before us, for us to get turned away. As a tourist we were very disappointed with this service. DO NOT VISIT.

Been to this tea room on a number of occasions and it has been excellent. Today, despite ready to order at the counter before the cut off for serving food, I was not served. The clock had turned a fraction past 2pm when a dithering couple (early 30s - no ageism here) finished placing and paying for their order. With no one else other than me waiting to be served, the assistant told me I was too late to order. Extraordinary pedantry and very clear lack of customer focus

The Tea Shed is a cute little tea room/cafe situated within the quaint village of Walberswick. We came here for cream teas one lunchtime and the food and service was good! There is a selection of food and drinks on offer, with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with our dog and the staff were great and kept bringing out small dog treats for us. Its a popular place and had many other people with their dogs too. Pricing was reasonable and public payable parking is walking distance from the beach. If visiting Walberswick I would recommend stopping here for a cup of tea and a bite to eat!

Had the best tea and toasted teacakes ever here

Good cup of coffee and very dog friendly.

Great service and good coffee and sausage rolls

We visited this beautiful place today and had the most delicious chocolate brownie and white hot chocolate. The staff were so helpful and the place was beautifully clean and beautiful. We will definitely be back.

40 minutes wait for food! Well into tourist season but a real lack of customer consideration. Left without ordering wait far too long. No way would we return.

Had a nice drink in the lovely gardens

What a lovely place! Called in for a cup of tea and a toasted sandwich. It's good value with really good tea!! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Then go and enjoy a lovely walk on the sea shore. Good value and amazingly friendly staff. Love it!

What a lovely place with a really lovely atmosphere. The staff were so welcoming. The cream tea was lovely and served with tea leaves in a pot. My 3 children had the brownie which looked and tasted delicious. We would definitely pop in for another visit. Be prepared to wait as it is a very popular place , but there is plenty more seating outside.

Warm welcome, lovely staff, most helpful, delicious food, service was excellent 👌, beautiful place, highly recommended 😀

Had to wait 45 mins for food but were advised about this on giving our order. Well worth the wait, food lovely, staff very friendly and courteous and it was a very busy bank holiday. Would definitely go back and also recommend to others.

Decent cappuccino, friendly staff, good selection of food.

Very good Scones, very fresh and great coffee too. Service is excellent.

Came for morning coffee and cake. Excellent coffee, nice cake. Sat in the garden surrounded by flocks of small birds, lovely. We were warned there would be a 10 minute wait for the drinks (it was Bank Holiday), but in fact they came quite quickly. Good place.

As described by the name a tea "shed" but don't be put off by appearance of built, staff very attentive and friendly. Excellent coffee scones and cake at really reasoable price. Also very dog friendly. In good weather garden seating lovely and birds a joy to see and a robin even fed from my hand

Always friendly staff, dog friendly, lovely food, nice coffee

Thoroughly enjoyed the friendly service and fresh food. Particularly recommend the fruit scones!

Brilliant place for humans and dogs to stop for a bite to eat. Food fresh and delicious and certainly not expensive as mentioned in a previous review. Staff wonderful, so friendly and helpful.This place shows how a cafe should be run !!!!Can't wait to visit again when we are next on holiday in Suffolk. Kevin,Marion &Flynn.

Very friendly and nice coffee. Dog friendly too.

Wonderful independent cafe experience. Friendly welcome from great staff.

After watching a programme on the television about Walberswick, my husband and I decided we should go and see for ourselves. We had a look around and then decided to go to the Tea Shed for a drink and a bite to eat. I had a skinny latte, delicious and hot, ( not lukewarm like some places). My husband had an Americano with a good amount of milk in decent sized jug. Plus, a piece of Victoria Sponge, which he happily demolished, saying it was very tasty. The Tea Shed had more than enough seating, both inside and out. Pleasant staff and good service. We will be going back to Walberswick as we both love it. And we will definitely visit the Tea Shed again.

Superb. The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. Coffee is excellent and so are the cakes. Even if you're not in the area it's worth a detour. Fabulous!

A great place to eat. Busy but peaceful

Staff very friendly and helpful, food was very yummy and even though we didn’t have any cakes they looked amazing. Dogs made very welcome.

Lovely cakes and sausage rolls. Tea and coffee also very nice.

Excellent scones and cakes. Sublime tea and coffee menu. Friendly staff. Rewarding after a busy morning of beach and crabbing!

Had to clear the table with plates before we could sit down. Food was expensive and tea too strong. Won't be going back there in future

Lovely visit today for afternoon tea. The best one we’ve ever had (and we’ve had a few) 😍 The staff are so friendly and dogs are made welcome 🐶

We experienced very friendly service and enjoyed a very nice cake during our visit on a Sunday afternoon in February. Pleasantly, the seating indoors is not crammed on top of one another. We would certainly eat here again.

I have lived in Holton and Withersdale Street Suffolk for twenty years and never been to Walberswick. Having visited for the first time we found a little treasure in The Tea Shed. Nice friendly reception, great drinks and very tasty food. Very Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...

Wonderfully friendly staff, extraordinary sausage rolls, welcoming to dogs, topped off with large espressos with cbd shots to mellow the caffeine. Don't visit Walberswick without trying it, and if you're not in Walberswick, go there and then try it.

Amazing warm cheese straws! Lovely stop on a wintery walk.

Very friendly, welcoming, helpful, professional staff. Our dogs love going there too & also made to feel as welcome as we are. Had the best Tuna, cheesy melt, which was delicious & two pear & pistachio tartlets to go………didn’t last long and they were delicious...

We booked an afternoon tea, which was the nicest afternoon tea I've had. From the moment we walked in, we were very warmly welcomed. We thought we were special but we realised they treated everyone like this. We couldn't eat it all and were given...

Came here with my wife for a mid morning snack, the interior was dated and lacking character. Dirty looking tables. The only good thing about this place was the coffee and the delicious lemon loaf cake. Served by a waitress who was a tad over...

Service and tea good, cakes were a bit dry. Perhaps winter has an effect Didn't offer to heat sausage roll (but I also didn't ask)

Lovely coffee and pleasant staff

Great place to stop on the bikes and have a coffee and cake

Lovely place to stop off after a long walk.

Lovely place. Couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent. Highly recommended.

Only call in for latte to get out of the rain and glad we did as the staff were happy and talked to us Coffee was very nice and reasonable priced.Wlii be back when next in area.

A real must. Delicious coffee served with a friendly smile

It was a sunny day and we sat outside and were well happy. 🙂

Nice spot in middle of village. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Lovely little tea room, friendly staff, food lovely & dog friendly

Nice cheese scone and loose leaf tea. Check opening hours as closed early.

Called in for lunch yesterday pot of tea for two plus extra hot water, best tea we have had for year baked potato and toasted sandwich equally good. Service excellent saffy behind the till kept everyone happy even when it got really busy. Five stars...

Lovely setting and the tea was awesome. Slightly let down by the very dense lemon cake!

A good tearoom well located in the village of Walberswick. Good cups of de-caf tea and a very nice teacake. Room inside and outside. Enjoyed the Sparrows company too!

On our first visit to Walberswick we called into this lovely tea shop. We had the fig tart which was absolutely delicious, really yummy! My cappuccino, and my partner had the Sunshine Orange Rooibos tea - all very good. We had service with a lovely...

Where to start? Well, 15 minutes for a cup of tea! (Locals served quickly, albeit I only live 7 miles away!) It was not drinkable either. The tables.... I stuck to mine! Super gloopy over waxed, worn out surfaces and rotten tables with chunks missing. Painted over and in a real state. Paid nearly £12 for the WORST teashop I've ever visited.

Friendly staff a lovely place to visit recommended 😊

Small place, friendly staff. Lovely cake and hot chocolate

Lovely little place to stop for a drink and a snack, customer service was great and Willow loved the staff as she got a doggie treat

Waited 10-15 mins to order, got to the front of the queue and was then left to wait some more with no one behind me. 7 minutes later order taken for two coffees and tea cakes. Only one tea cake left. Waited outside for order...

Only had tea but seemed good to me.

Lovely little place, we had a cup of tea, a cup of fruit tea, flat white coffee and some scones and fruit teacake. Reasonably priced and very friendly, really nice for an afternoon tea and it has a garden just to the side with plenty of picnic tables. Perfect, thank you.

Visited today for lunch with family, very busy and no menus on the tables so needed to queue to ask for one . Ordered 4 toasted sandwiches between us and when the waitress came to our table she wasn’t sure what filling was in each...

Lovely toasted sandwiches and a cup of tea and very friendly birds to help with the crumbs.

Lunch was excellent and the tea a delight. A party of seven including 3 under 10 and lots of mess/spills etc was sorted with zero fuss or drama. Just what a tea shed should be.

Great toasties! Friendly and helpful staff.

You can order takeaway coffee and cake

Great place to eat lunch in Warberswick. Sausage rolls were really nice but fruit scone was delicious. Good value, nice setting, friendly staff.

Loads of different specialist teas available. Seating inside quite limited, but plenty outside. A range of snacks: we had an organic tinned drink, quality Earl Grey and date slice for less than a tenner - very reasonable by Walberswick standards!

Lovely place. A simple buy delicious lunch menu and absolutely amazing home made cakes - served with a good size and for a good price! Staff very friendly and the garden is lovely to sit within.

Great little tea shop after bake tide Lovely garden.

For this year and last year I have been visiting the Tea Shed for my lunch during my 2 or 3 week hoilday.Over this time I have gained two new Facebook friends.My favourite is the Cranberry brie toastie that comes with crisps and salad.The Tea...
