Wright's in St Edmundsbury

Our go to place for coffee. Good coffee and breakfasts but the cakes have always been disappointing. Dry red velvet cake and the cherry bakewll crust is too thick. Get the cake right and it would be a huge improvement.

Shared a toasty and the full salad portion with a friend to try it all and still have room for more hot chocolate. Staff were friendly and welcoming as ever, explained any questions we had about the menu. Will always recommend and feels like a really treat.

We went with a group to friends to the Burns night event. As regulars we were excited to see what the team would be offering. There was a great vibe with bag pipes and potery readings. It was my first time eating haggis which was surprisingly good. I would definitely recommend a visit to the cafe if you are in bury

Went to a special Burns night dinner and paid £35 per person. The vegetarian option was actually appalling- a watery "soup" that tasted of nothing with a few barely-cooked carrot pieces and some barley floating in it. It was inedible. But the worst was yet to come. A vegetarian "haggis" substitute was basically a plate of (cold) Tesco mixed veg - you know, the kind that comes frozen in a plastic bag, with the peas, carrots, beans in little squares? The mixed veg was clearly microwaved inadequately with a "sauce" which tasted like canned tomato. No seasoning, no effort to turn the car crash on our plates to anything resembling what a chef would be proud to have leave their kitchen. I don't think anyone tasted the food- either while it was being prepared or when put together. Honestly, I have had better meals in primary school cafeterias. The service was a bunch of untrained amateurs who basically threw the food on the tables and never came back to see if the table wanted drinks or if the food was ok. I would have complained and asked for a refund if I could have located a single serving person, but they all seemed to be gossiping by the service hatch. Honestly the worst restaurant experience I have ever had

Really can't understand why this place is so popular. Have visited a few times now, wanting to give them another chance as I thought maybe I was missing some hidden charm. I have now decided I'm missing nothing. The service is very slow and unwelcoming. There is always some excuse as to why at least two menu items aren't available and the food has always been well below par. In fact, the last time I visited, I'd go as far as to say, the food was awful. My poached eggs avocado and salmon on toast tasted of nothing but vinegar and my wife's granola (which was actually muesli) had big grains of salt hidden through it. Needless to say, we won't be rushing back.

Wrights coffee van was at the Rougham pumpkin patch. I ordered a small hot chocolate, large hit chocolate, an Americano, two donuts and a brownie which came to £20.20. The quality of the donuts were not great, they tasted stale and they were tough. The brownie was alright, and a good texture. The hot chocolate were so weak to the point where they tasted like water. The coffee was awful, it was bitter but weak all at the same time. The staff however were lovely and the aesthetics of the van and set up was great, it is such a shame that everything else let it down.

Best cooked breakfast I have had for a long time . Great staff, effortlessly good would highly recommend .

We popped in today for a coffee. The food displayed on the cool shelf on entering looked so delicious that we decided to stay for lunch. We were not disappointed!!!!! Lunch was fantastic!!! The menu is innovative and varied. My friend is vegan and the choices were plenty. What an experience!!! The vibe in here you feel the moment you walk through the door. Decor rustic, staff exceptional. The most best place in Bury St Edmunds!!! We WILL be back for sure!!!

Absolutely appalling customer service, the waitresses act like they loathe to take your order. Food arrived to the table more than twenty minutes apart and when we refused it, nothing but attitude from the staff. One of the worst places I’ve had the misfortune of going to. Avoid.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 no questions. Saturday 11am busy busy busy but still managed to get a table. Quick service and everyone so happy. Big thank you to Alfie in the kitchen for the delicious plum, rocket and Brie toasties. And all the kitchen staff and FOH staff for working so hard in the hot weather. P.S I would like to find out the ingredients you add to the coleslaw that makes it so tasty. Definitely would recommend a salad box so many different flavours that all complement each other.

I have to say, initially I was a bit disappointed that my first choice wasn't available on the day but my second choice couldn't have been bettered. I had the poached eggs with smoked salmon, bacon plus an extra of the heritage tomatoes. Superb. It's not the cheapest but the ingredients are first class and the portion sizes generous

Wrights is a divine cafe and cocktail bar located in the heart of Bury. Their offering is simply fantastic with delicious toasties, an array of sides, a sublime cocktail menu and delicious coffees. The modern Art Deco interior compliments the offering perfectly. Highly recommend Wrights and the chef Alfie is one to look out for with his unique flare in the kitchen. I will be back 100%.

2nd visit after a similarly poor one about a year ago thought we’d give it another chance as everyone has bad days. Just after a coffee and bit of cake so pretty simple, walked in and waited at the sign to be seated and staff wondering around, two sat behind the counter talking to each other but no one came over so approached the counter to be told to go back and wait at the sign. They went back to talking and after a moment we left. We’ll not be back and go elsewhere as many better cafes a stones throw away. So avoid if you want decent customer service

We had been recommended this place by friends and were excited to treat ourselves to breakfast here. We tried a toastie a while back and did enjoy it (I’d recommend the Reuben). We had a salad then too, and honestly it was basically inedible. No dressing, not even olive oil or salt and pepper! It consisted of unseasoned noodles, mushy roast beetroot, fruit, and a weird garlicky coleslaw, whereas we expected a fairly simple side salad. But we thought we’d still give Wright’s another go last week for the full English. The coffee is fantastic and the staff are really lovely too. The food, unfortunately, really let the place down. It feels like it’s trying too hard, and that it’s just being different for the sake of it, rather than putting a twist on a classic to improve it. Nothing on the plate was seasoned, and we had to add a lot of salt. The beans were far too sweet and tasted like tinned tomatoes (would’ve preferred Heinz, tbh). Bacon was great, and I did like the sausage but prefer the original breakfast sausage over Wright’s. My fried egg came broken, which was disappointing. The mushroom was undercooked, but a nice idea and would’ve been great if executed properly. The bone marrow and the toast were really delicious, we just wished there had been more of it! We have also tried a cake here and not been very impressed with that either. But we’ll be back for the coffee and the lovely service!

Lovely cafe, happy polite staff, unfortunatly the tea and coffee nothing but tastless warm water and so weak in colour Too many other good coffee shops in town who serve far better tea and coffee and don't skimp on the ingredients. Maybe better staff training required Haven't tried the food, probably won't be back

It's a nice independent café. A welcome change from the many chain coffee shops etc in Bury St Edmunds. Friendly and efficient staff and a good selection of pastries and etc.

Busy restaurant but very efficient and friendly. Excellent toasties and good coffee. Nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend

We dined here on the first Saturday evening in March 2023, a new menu with a choice of three starters, three mains and three desserts - it was excellent, dishes that appealed to all five of us. The starters were divine, the main courses delicious...

Visited on a Tuesday for a light lunch. Great staff, food and service. Menu is not too extensive however they do this extremely well and I can’t recommend it enough. We were looked after very well and will definitely be back.

Lovely toastie unusual fillings Went in for a pastry but they don’t do them not what you would expect from a high street cafe But coffee was very bitter and Luke warm

Wonderful lunch on a very busy day in Bury St Edmunds, waited 5 mins to be seated by super friendly staff but well worth it. Great quality food and beverages all served with a smile, loved my lunch will be back again for sure. Many...

We had a lovely coffee and cake stop at Wrights. The cake was delicious, and all the staff were friendly and efficient.

Seated and ordered very quickly. My wife’s drink arrived. Food then arrived so I reminded them I was still waiting for my drink. Asked again for my drink and off she went. She then came back a few minutes later as I was finishing my...

Lovely morning in Bury St Edmunds , made lovelier by finding Wright’s Great brunch , very tasty and very fresh. Beans on the breakfast were delicious. Great value and great atmosphere . Lovely staff too. Will be back !!

Overpriced coffee, reasonable service but slow, uncomfortable seats and the whole place needs a good clean

We really like this place and it’s been a ‘go to’ when in BSE for a couple of years but today was really disappointing. We were in before 12 and two of their small range of toasted sandwiches weren’t available, sadly they were the two...

We both had Toasties which were ok but not great & on the small side. Coffees were good, service only ok & at £22 for two sandwiches & two coffees pretty expensive. Would we eat here again? NO

Regularly pop into Wright when I’m in town to grab a coffee and few slices of cake to take home and they never disappoint! Cakes always taste fresh and the coffee is so much better than that of high Street coffee chains. Wrights is always...

Can't rate this place highly enough - its just a great, informal local cafe/restaurant and they just seem to do it right. Only downside is that sometimes there's quite a wait for a table - but its worth it.

Relaxed efficient service, some of the tastiest food you’ll ever eat, good beer, and I’ve placed my breakfast and lunch order for tomorrow. It’s amazes me that more people do not eat in this restaurant in the evening, I appreciate it’s a daytime Cafe, But...

We popped in for brunch and my goodness was it delicious. We like quality food and Wrights did not disappoint. My husband had the Wrights breakie and I had the sweet potato hash! Both super yummy! We both agreed we will be back soon :)...

This is a superb independent cafe with lovely waiting and kitchen staff who rightly take real pride in the service that they offer and the food that they produce. Nothing was too much trouble and despite being fairly busy, everyone that we spoke to had...

Not from around bury and needed a quick bite to eat so popped in and got one of their toasties. It was lovely. Complements to the chefs. The waitress we had, i believe her name was evie, was lovely and she was very attentive despite...

My second time popping into Wright's to try another brunch dish. I came in at 8am for breakfast, the staff welcomed me and informed me the toasties were available but brunch wasn't served until 9am which was fine - the atmosphere was very nice, classy...

Wow! came across this great little mobile food truck fest at the Helmingham Hall Artisan Market fest sun 29th may 2022. It sounded great so I went for it!! and boy was it good! Cooked to perfection.... Not sure how they did it but before...

We visited Wrights for the very first time today.....we have been meaning to go for ages. Great friendly service with a smile. Great coffee and the coffee cake was soooooo good! Thankyou. We will return to sample your toastie. Highly recommend.

We went for one of Wright’s evening meals with friends - it was busy and had a great atmosphere . Some little things needed attention - like wines not chilled but the staff were fabulous and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our selection of small...

Walked into town for a chai latte before lunch on Easter Sunday 17.04.22 and the drink was lukewarm despite asking for extra hot. Though that was just a nit pick as it was the drink itself that was not heated properly as mentioned above, and...

Great place for light eats, lunch, coffee etc. Artisan type setting with friendly attentive staff. The different toasties were all exciting flavours and the other things on the menu all looked unusual and interesting.

Absolutely delicious! Staff friendly and super efficient! What a find ….if you are in BSE this is the place to go! We will be back!

The toastie was very nice, however, the menu is limited and needs some “normal” sandwiches on it! But the main problem was the man that served us. He seemed to model himself on Basil Fawlty…. He was quite rude and his manner was as if...

We thought we would try Wrights new evening menu, it was very good indeed, perfect for sharing or not! Friendly casual dining with good food and drinks.

Enjoyed a lovely brunch here. Friendly staff, quick service, great ingredients and nice atmosphere, will return

An honest, simple but quality experience reflected in the food and atmosphere makes this a very popular cafe. Form follows function creating an integrity in the plain wooden furniture and straightforward service. The menu is simple, the ingredients well sourced and the flavours authentic. The...

Visited for lunch on a busy Friday afternoon, despite there being no tables available the waiter quickly advised us there would be a table ready within 5 mins. Once seated we ordered quickly and the food was amazing, I recommend the the Suffolk Reuben toastie!...

We visited several times last month for different occasions - a brunch, a lunch, coffees and an afternoon snack. All were absolutely fantastic. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was all 10/10. Love the decor and atmosphere. Absolutely recommend the banana French toast and...

amazing atmosphere and food is delicious! staff are so friendly and clearly work so hard. unfortunately we were unable to tip because of the machine, but next time will bring cash as the wait staff are amazing. the spicy shakshuka is delicious. looking forward to...

Went for lunch after reading good reviews. I felt it didn’t meet my expectations and could be improved.

A great find for a casual brunch. Quite a small menu but lots of choice for vegetarians and all the food was presented well. Reasonably priced. Love the toilets!

Was looking forward to trying Wrights as it looked like a great addition to the town. Sure enough, the venue, staff and coffee were all brilliant. But our 'posh' toasties were disappointing. They appear to be pre- assembled, and as mine was over cooked, that...

I love an independent business and Wright's had been recommended to us. So today we were looking forward trying it ourselves, prior to an appointment in Bury. Please don't come if you want any variation to the listed menu or if you're in a hurry....

Absolutely delicious toasties! Well worth a visit everything is worth trying. Coffee is also very good and locally roasted, great sausage rolls! Gets very busy so expect a short wait but well worth it…

Practically perfect in every way! Booked for 3 course thanksgiving meal and have to say everything was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and was absolutely delicious. Best all round 3 course meal for a long time!!Great atmosphere (fab playlist too), attentive service and quirky decor. Really...

Came for breakfast, wasn't allowed to order what I wanted, waited 45 mins for my order and when it came it was inediable. Like any good cafe offering breakfast/ brunch, you would expect to be able to add one or two tasty things to your...

I took my mum to Wrights as we had heard good things about this place. Well we were not disappointed at all I had poached egg and avocado, eggs were perfect. Service was wonderful great atmosphere and feel. It’s clean and very tidy all staff...

Just a wonderful addition to Bury. LOVE IT …. Just worth a visit. Modern, stylish, quirky, great wine/ food/ staff. FANTASTIC

Quirky menu. A tad on the expensive side but worth it to have something a little bit different. It was very busy and we felt under a little pressure to eat and leave but it’s good to see somewhere independent thriving. Friendly service, one small...

Almost a 5, but that's for truly outstanding. This was very good. A short wait as popular. Engaging staff,. Good menu albeit quite small. The atmosphere is what I liked. A buzz that felt comforting. Would be very happy to return and try the Brown...

First visit, live local. Had a breakfast and amazing. Well presented and plenty. Poached eggs with mushrooms and avocado. Love able to choose 2 items with the eggs. They have this ‘wright’!!! Young lady served us, really lovely and made sure we were ok. One...

I went to Wright's for first time today. I can't say I will be rushing back. It is obviously one of the places you feel you have to go to as lots people talking about it We wanted a coffee, something to eat and a...

I’ve been there a few times and love it soooo much. Really relaxed atmosphere where I feel comfy instantly, brilliant staff (so refreshing to repeatedly go somewhere and know staff will all be smiley, attentive and super polite). I’ve only ever tried the Reuben toastie...

Very friendly and efficient staff, attentive and unobtrusive. Fairly small choice of menu, but obviously you know what works and the food was excellent. We both had toasties, fries and salad - good portion sizes. Loved the unusual flavour combinations of the salad - could...

Didn’t enjoy this place at all menu is awfully and hard to understand. All food very over cooked and staff are not friendly especially girl with coloured hair I will not return ever.

Amazing coffees, best in bury st edmunds, great cakes and the toasted sandwiches are to die for! Really friendly staff, great places…

Coffee was good. Barista knows his stuff. Shame I had to collect it myself as I saw it sitting on the side for 5 to 10 minutes after being made. Toasties were hard work to eat (overcooked) after waiting half an hour at lunchtime before...

Very helpful and friendly.Looked after us throughout visit,our food was absolutely amazing !! Look behind the bar and all the drinks are all 'extra-special'...we went for Root Beer,Ginger Beer and Japanese Whisky!!!! Great value and full all day.

The toasted sandwiches are very good but at £6 I think overpriced. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Seems to be popular as there were people queuing to go in - guess that’s a good sign

Visited a couple of times whilst in town and not impressed with dogs in the cafe, especially when they are on the seats and lick the table. Also, today no soap in the loos and no paper in the cubicle I used, yet the chart...

Good coffee and tea in a relaxing rustic setting. Cake was delicious only shame was no gluten free cake options. Worth a visit.

We popped in for a family brunch on speck. Children both had almond croissants and they arrived in 2 minutes flat. My wife and I both ordered poached eggs with different toppings. 40 minutes later we were still waiting, we ordered a second drink, I...

I've been put off going here because I've been a couple of times now to grab a coffee for take-away and the staff ignored me. I ended up asking if I could order a coffee for take-away after waiting around for 5 minutes. Also I...

An awesome first experience of this place. The layout is quirky and fun. The food was fantastic! The Artefact Beer was absolutely delightful! Will be returning!

First visit here, first impressions very nice looking cafe and layout. Friendly service throughout. Drinks and food ordered quickly, I was going to order the Turkish dish with the eggs but was told it was spicy hot by our server which was nice so decided...

Relaxed atmosphere, funky decor and friendly staff. And the poached eggs on toast with smoked salmon was great!

So. This new larger Wright's is just what Bury needs. It is spot on in every way. Firstly the staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Bradley and Emily but they are all great. Well done. The food is great especially the toasties, cake and...

This is an attractive looking cafe and it’s so nice that it’s not yet another chain. The food looks fresh and wholesome but don’t go if you’re in a hurry! It really is painfully slow to even just get a coffee and a piece of...

This lovely cafe has never disappointed. I always got salads from the market and am so happy we now have a place in Bury like this to sit down in any enjoy the delicious food,tasty coffee,unique quirky decor and awesome staff. They always have a...

Found this cafe by chance whilst in Bury St Edmunds and so pleased we did. The place had a great buzz about it and they served amazing food and coffee. Service was friendly and very attentive and I would highly recommend a visit.

Sensational breakfast. Four friends, possibly a little hungover, in need of coffee and a good breakfast. We were not disappointed.

At last we got to eat here again after lockdown. The food is delicious and different. The service is really friendly and the vibe is great. We admire these guys so much for keeping us going with delicious take-always through lockdown and now we can...

Just had the Breakfast Special and salad and it was AMAZING. Seriously Adam & Co keep getting it Wright

Love this place ....... the sourdough toasties are amazing, the Reuben with salt beef and sauerkraut is so yummy! The cakes and coffee are great too. Very COVID safe and perfect to grab a takeaway at the moment. Staff always friendly too. Thanks for a...

We have always been pleased with the quality of the product..... but we think that today someone made a mistake with the recipe for the fennel sausage rolls. We love fennel and have had them before from Wright’s.... but there was so much fennel seed...

My girlfriend and I had the burns night meal for two which was absolutely delicious and a perfect size. Good quality ingredients and punctual delivery. We have also regularly partaken of wrights toasties and coffee which are also superb.

Best Cafe in BSE along with Baileys 2, can't split them, Coffee is artisan and made perfect, food is fresh and creative, average spend is £6-£10 which makes it pricey but worth the money, Great staff also

I wasn’t looking for somewhere to eat but it was around lunchtime, happen to pass Wright’s and saw some lovely displays in the window, went inside and it was a quaint rustic place with good decor nice feel to it, the staff member I spoke...

This is a great place to shop. The sandwiches and cakes are fabulous and not bettered in Bury or to be honest, anywhere. I now time my visitis to Bury to always eat at this wonderful place.

Popped in for the 1st time today on the off chance of grabbing a coffee. Service was amazing was found a table very quickly, was advised it could only be half hour due to reservations but that was fine. Had the best cup of coffee...

Had a walk into town today to visit Wrights cafe. Although staff busy when I walked in an acknowledgement would of been nice. A simple Hello! I looked at board and ordered 2 toasties I have to say they were delicious the best ever! I...

These are just the best toasties around, keep going back again and again. Looking forward to visiting the new takeaway / restaurant, just opened closer to the town centre. Recommended !

I had really high hopes for these toasties after seeing pics on Instagram as well as the rave reviews. I ordered a cheese and onion and a Brie and plum chutney and my husband and I shared half each...now I’m not sure if we got...

Genuinely the best toastie ive ever had, coffee and cake were unreal as well Not sure of his name but the guy at the front was incredibly helpful and friendly Great value as well, will be back!

If I could I would give this wonderful cafe 10 stars. Great food and drink, bubbly and friendly staff, great atmosphere and mad decor. If you’re looking for good quality food in Bury with a twist of Hoxton, this is the Wright place for you.

We visited Wright’s on a weekday afternoon and it was brilliant! A quirky little spot with the most delicious toasties and coffee. Staff were so attentive and polite, we were made to feel really welcome. We took a brownie away with us and OMG it...

A rare treat to find a place like this. Cakes are amazing, food looks incredible. Cute owner too. Only went in this time for a cup of tea but will be returning soon to try their sourdough sandwiches.

The smell spilling out from this cafe into St Johns Street is amazing! We popped in for a toasty and a cup of tea. I had the Brie, plum chutney and rocket and it was delicious. The bread was really crunchy and the filling was...

We wanted a quick bite as we didn't have much time but didn't want just a sandwich. We liked to look of food while walking past the window of this small place in St John Street and decided to give it a try and were...

Came here with friends whilst visiting. What an amazing little place. Wonderful food with helpful friendly and attentive team. The owner was very friendly and chatty which added to it’s local and independent feel. Can’t recommend it enough, only wish I was a local so...
