Wright's in St Edmundsbury

We came here for their Thanksgiving supper club and it was fantastic! The starters were divine (Pumpkin Ham + soup); the sides were sumptuous and the whole feel ambience, off the school.

Nice local cafe. Great options of cakes and drinks.

Best cheese toasties ever! Lovely service and atmosphere. Highly recommend

Delicious!! 4 stars due to long wait but you can't go wrong with Wrights. The food is amazing, bacon crispy and coffee fresh and hot. The banana butter pudding is to die for. Don't forget to order a toasty to go!!

all nice,but the prices are to high

We popped in for breakfast today which turned out to be a massive waste of time and money. The breakfast was grim, the bacon was fatty and not crispy at all, the eggs were underdone, the beans were watery (they tasted like a cheap tin of tomatoes with too much cumin added to it), the hash browns were hard and greasy and tasted a few days old. The waitress apologised, but we left hungry and £35 out of pocket.

Great brunch and sometimes (Friday and Saturday) dinner place. Interesting food options very well made and presented.

Went for brunch and took 30 minutes for food to come out. It was sat on the side for 5 minutes before we asked where our food was and still took 5 minutes before they brought it out. Once it came out was not hot and most of it wasn't edible. When questioned they came up with excuses and at no point were they apologetic. Would not go here again.

Stopped in on a Saturday with friends for brunch after helping a local with some yard work. Place was very busy with a bit of a wait to get a table. The food was good and quick for how busy they were. Will definitely go back with the wife and kids next time we're in the area.

It was quite busy when we arrived but we were sat down in about 10 minutes, the veggie breakfast was really nice I had an addition of salmon instead of the potatoes and holloumi because of dairy allergy. This was the best breakfast I've ever had at a cafe, very rich and nice. The vegan bacon was top notch!!

Wow what a gem in Bury St Edmunds! We have wanted to try this place for a while and we are so glad we finally did. The coffee and food was absolutely amazing. We had a Mocha and espresso which were perfectly made. We also had the Banana Bread & Butter Pudding which was delicious, would definitely order this again even for breakfast. Thank you. We will be back! X

Maybe the childs menu could be a little more bland, ie keep the beans separate from the toast in a ramekin, and maybe cook scrambled eggs as a choice for little ones, otherwise the food is delicious 😋

Had a great English breakfast, nice and speedy service.

Lovely place, visit every time I come home. Always busy, so normally take out. Would be nice to see a new toastie menu ☺️

Lovely staff and food but deco is starting to be a bit outdated

Great food and coffee. Excellent home made cakes. All (every single item) of our takeaway packaging was compostable.... keep leading the way!

Superb salt beef toasties with lovely coffee. Always busy and for good reason.

Very nice place to have coffee. Good quality food. Apple and berry flapjack is my favorite here.. that’s so 😋.

Great food and coffees. Staff polite and very helpful.

Very much enjoyed the Wright’s Brekkie for a Sunday breakfast. Great presentation and mostly delicious. Loved the Merguez sausages, the bacon, egg, and maple-glazed potatoes. Especially loved the garlic mushrooms. The beans were more of a tomato stew with a sprinkle of beans. Good, just not what I expected. The sourdough toast was a little too done for my taste, but the herb butter was great. Everything was well-seasoned and flavorful. I would absolutely order this again but ask for light toast and maybe ask to sub something for the beans.

Nice place toilets are terrible and service was OK food was over priced and not that great for us

We visited on a busy Sunday morning for brunch. The restaurant feels laid back but still classy. We all had the wrights breakfast. Really excellent. Each element of the meal feels high quality, well cooked and full of flavour. Like they had made each element individually better than you’d expect and put it back together. Thoroughly recommended

We live in Bury and eat out regularly. I thought the staff were ok and was prepared to be a regular, however having had lunch today I was sadly served by an incredibly rude young man. I will never walk in again, if you want a rude young man to serve you enjoy…. We wasn’t the only table today who he treated badly, the first couple walked out before ordering, we paid and followed shortly after. Terrible service!

This is a fantastic place to meet friends for coffee ( best flat whites in town!) or brunch and even better place for dinner in the evenings......great cocktails and good atmosphere for special occasions like birthday.

Pleasent place, good coffee. Expensive food. The quality of food and service were not worthy of the bill. It was a birthday treat, I'm not a regular. There are better places locally that offer a better product and service.

Excellent food, can't fault a thing

Terrible service, unnecessarily keep people waiting to make the venue look full - a shame as the food is good.

Best lunch in Bury St Edmunds, and as I found out recently, one of the best Brunch in Bury as well. Always good food, always great atmosphere, always my top suggested spot for a bite to eat.

Visited today for brunch. We waited at the sign and met by someone who told us the wait would be 10-20 minutes. I asked if we could sit on the bench while we waited and she said no, we have to stand by the sign for while we waited. There was nobody behind us… How can you expect someone to stand and wait for 10-20 minutes in the same spot, less than a meter from a bench? There are people with disabilities in this world. How hard is it to just take a name? Less attitude would also be appreciated.

Great place, really nice staff, tasty food!

Hairs in breakfast , food is stone cold , raw eggs , avoid 🤢

We were given a voucher at Christmas to use at Wright's, so we popped in for lunch. Staff were quick to find us a table & produce menus. We really enjoyed our food & drink & look forward to returning.

The best breakfast in Bury St Edmunds hands down. Highly recommend trying the usual full english but if you're feeling adventurous the Toasties here are also on point.

Great food, great service but atmosphere a little busy.

Fantastic coffee and cheese toasties, burgers on the other hand are awful, the beer patty tasted like a unseasoned ball of mince fresh out the packet, rest of what was in the burger was the saving grace but these items should be adding to flavour of the patty not covering its taste.

Popped in as this cafe looked so lovely, brilliant location, lovely set up. We sat down and were left for what I considered too long for our order to be taken. We did think about getting up and leaving. Whilst we were deciding whether to leave and find somewhere else, we observed other people getting up and leaving their tables without ordering. It’s a shame really as they were understaffed. Having said that, food was good, it was clean, staff were friendly, setting was perfect and the day was sunny.

Very prompt service, great food, everything you would want really. Try it

Nice place, good food excellent staff

We booked into Wright’s for a work ‘team night out’ as we had heard some great things about them - and their ‘Burger & Beer’ sounded really good. We were not disappointed! We were greeted as soon as we arrived by a smiley young lady (who we found out later was called Indie). We were seated and were asked for our drink order within 5-10 minutes. Indie gave us some great advice about the cocktails and I ordered a mocha martini… it was absolute divine. My colleagues also ordered cocktails - all of which were equally as good. We all had the burgers for our mains. They came with very lovely chips, onion rings which were to die for and perfectly made slaw. The burgers were clearly handmade with great quality ingredients as we all agreed that they were absolutely delicious! (Compliments to the chef!) We stayed for another drink and had a lovely talk with Indie and Abbie who were serving. Both were lovely and their passion for the products they serve up was clear to see. But a great big thank to Indie for being so happy and bubbly and really helping to make our evening even more fun. We will return and I can’t recommend Wright’s enough! Thank you all.

Absolutely wonderful Friday evening Burger meal. Beer, burger and fries for a 20. The burger choices were amazing. Loved the Burger Blue (Blue cheese) and South American Spicy option with pulled pork. And micro brewed beers too. Staff were great. loved it.

This is a great cafe. I didn't leave disappointed.

Fab little place in town with posh toasties. Allergies - fantastic Couldn't have the slaw The French onion toastie amazing

Good customer service. The food was delicious. Definitely coming here again.

Rude and unwelcoming - I won’t be going back. I attempted to visit Wrights with my 6 week old in a (very compact) buggy. Despite there being plenty of tables and floor space free I was offered the scrappy table by the entrance and told they “couldn’t have the buggy blocking the way”. I would have been happy to fold the thing up if the server hadn’t made me feel so unwelcome. It doesn’t take much to be friendly. Shame as I had heard good things about this place!

One hell of a toastie! While the pastries and cakes in the window looked nice they didn't give away just how good the brunch is. The Bloody Mary Brisket with cheese toastie pushed all the right buttons - hot, crisp sourdough, melted fondanty cheese going brown and intensified at the edges, some meaty but welcome onions (and not too sweet - thankfully - because unexpected onions should never be too sweet or they are are a real turn off). The brisket was soft, rich and the ideal amount of spicy. Perfect, and I wolfed it down. It was big enough we could have shared and I couldn't finish it. My partner in gluttony had poached eggs on toast - on point- with smoked salmon and we split his avocado smash. Good tea, lovely cappuccino and GREAT value especially compared to our London experiences. I will not miss an opportunity to pop in here any time I'm back in the area.

Poped in for a take out cappuccino, extortionate price, £3.70 the experience! Mediocre taste, nothing to rave about, expecting more for the price. Have visited a few occasions before & sat in for coffee + cake- again very expensive. Just because they have a prime location doesn't mean you put your prices up & let standard's slip. Cakes all exposed to the elements/germs/flies, need covering & away from the open door.

On a whim, we tried here for lunch following a visit to the monthly makers market. Nice welcome and show straight to a table. Both lunch and breakfast were being served. Great attention to allergies, black pepper, and soya, with visits to chef and back to us to explain what was possible. We went for two French Onion and mozzarella toasties and poached eggs on toast. A salad, minus coleslaw (soya - something explained to us) and chips as sides. The salad arrived quickly with picked Red Cabbage to the fore, hidden was significant amounts of chilli 🌶 a bit too much. We were then left for a long time with no sign of the mains, which we had to chase after 30 or so minutes. Another short wait, and they arrived. The two toasties were really good. The poached eggs sitting atop mushrooms and heritage Tomatoes on toast was frankly disappointing over done and covered in heavy seasoning (eggs were hard boiled at best)

The food was less traditional than the usual run of the mill eatery's which was nice. The seating arrangements were good felt quite intimate booth style seating very comfortable. Service was good staff were pleasant and helpful. Would go back. ☺️

Great burgers, good vibes, cool crowd.

Went back to Wrights for Sunday breakfast which wasn’t as good as before. The sourdough toast is really tough to cut as it often is which means half my toast was left as the crusts were on the darker brown crispy side. Both my poached egg and my husbands was over cooked but as it had taken a long time to get our food we decided not to ask them to replace it. However, the coffee is good, the tea choice is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. Just do something about the sourdough.

A fabulous coffee shop, beautiful interiors, comfy. Made to feel welcome unhurried and could relax and enjoy our coffees in this really charming shop. The staff were swift, professional and friendly. Reasonably priced.

We went there on Saturday April 27th. We were waiting for a museum to open at 10am & just wanted a quick breakfast & a coffee to kill the time. We were greeted by friendly staff & have a perfect table for 2. The coffee came quickly & was Absolutely Beautiful. My wife ordered a Salt Beef Sandwich & i had Poached Eggs on toast with Mushrooms & Black Pudding. The Food was Mouthwatering to say the least, Really Flavoursome. 100% Recommend this place & will 100% go again.

Loved it..great food and dog friendly too

We went for coffees and toasties on Saturday, delicious food and drinks but service wasn’t the best. The server who greeted us at the door and seated us was very friendly, but we felt rushed to order by the other waitress, who took away our menus before we ordered food and then when our food arrived it was practically dumped on the table without asking if we wanted anything else. Nobody came over to us at all, as we wanted to order more drinks but we ended up having to get up and walk over to the waitress to ask for our bill. As a waitress myself I did expect more from the customer service.

Went for a meal with friends Friday night, whilst there was a limited menu of burgers I can’t speak highly enough about how gorgeous the food was and great value for money. Will defintely go again and I hope more support this little gem of a restaurant.

Had poached egg with smoked salmon and avocado on sourdough toast. Personally I don’t like sourdough toast. It’s almost impossible to cut and even more impossible to eat! Not sure if I should have had two eggs but one was ample. The tea was very hot and tasty. I’ll try something different next time.

In a nutshell the food was pretty good but the service was terrible. We ordered 2 chai lattes, a piece of red velvet cake and a toasted pulled pork sandwich. The total was about £20 with a voluntary service charge. They delivered our cake first, then the drinks and then about 30 minutes later our sandwich came. No one asked us if we wanted anything else or if we were OK ( I was really thirsty and wanted water). We waited about 40 minutes for our toasted sandwich and the lady didn't apologise or say anything for that matter just chucked it on the table and left. All the waiting staff seemed to be running from one end of the cafe to the other but doing very little

one of the best coffees i have had in a long while. incredible food and generous portions

This is the first time we have been to the Cafe, on a trip to Bury from Cambridge. We both had different toasties with a portion of chips. They were delicious and very filling Coffee was nice and hot for me and tea for my husband was good. Excellent service with a smile as well from the young waitresses. There was a queue at the door as we left, so whilst I see that some of the reviews on here are quite negative, there are obviously many others who must enjoy eating here, or why would they queue.....

Chefs cooked a proper lush breakfast, service was great, dog friendly, couldn't fault it! Thank you 😊

Great place. Lovely staff. Have a good vegan range of options too.

Very interesting and ambitious menu and they executed it so well. Props x

I went here for dinner after the cinema on a Saturday night - I think they open for dinner on Fridays & Saturdays - just burgers, but the food was absolutely delicious!! £20 for a burger, fries, coleslaw, onions rings & a drink. I had a bun-less burger and was still defeated. Don’t overlook this lovely little cafe, it’s well worth a visit and is in general a bit quieter in the evenings than the day time so the service was well above standard :)

Review is purely on the English style breakfast. Coffee is good. The English style breakfast is a huge let down. Sausages aren't great on flavour and are tiny in size. Bacon was very undercooked and fatty. No choice for brown bread, only white sourdough, which isn't exactly the best type of bread. The beans are the ultimate let down. They appear to be homemade. However they simply taste like strait tomato puree. The potatoes, although numerous, are covered in a very sweet syrup which some may enjoy. Mushroom was good. Option for bone marrow also (I didn't try this). Food was slow to arrive (20 minute wait). For around £14 its poor value for money and I couldn't eat half of the meal due to poor overall flavour.

What a fab place, staff were super smiley and pleased to be there. Food was exquisite, and the coffee from Butterworths was amazing. Would definitely go there again.

Looks great from the outside. Inside is sadly filthy, from seats to glass and decoration right down to the cheese encrusted cutlery. The serving staff are polite but aloof about the quality of service they provide and most seem more interested in themselves than doing a good job. Almost no attention to detail to be seen whatsoever. The food is affordable but underwhelming. Not much to be said about the experience. And the loose leaf tea isn’t always loose leaf. Mine was certainly a teabag. A shame. I’m sure it has done better and could do better yet.

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.

Went for evening burger. Excellent value and food fantastic

We are regulars at the cafe/restaurant as we love the food and the staff are always lovely! For our wedding we had our reception at Wrights and it was such a great decision! The guests and ourselves thought Wrights blew it out the water with the incredible food, decor, organisation and how lovely the staff were. I had full trust in Maddie and the team and the evening was perfect. I would highly recommend Wrights as a cafe in the day, their evening meals and also for a wedding or other event! They can do it all :D

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.

Such a great addition to the food places in Bury St Edmunds. A lovely place to rest up and have a coffee with some lunch. Fantastic service and no rush to get tables moving which is great. We will certainly be back!

My order was sold out. My Fiancé enjoyed his cooked breakfast. My 'Red Velvet Latte' was very sugary.

We stopped for lunch here today and didn't enjoy it much at all, the service was very slow and when the food did come out eventually, I'm afraid my breakfast was overcooked and not very nice at all the tomato/bean thing in the bowl in the middle just tasted of Heinz tomato sauce the fried egg was overcooked couldn't even cut the bottom of it, the potatoes had a rock a hard outside and no potato in the middle. The pot of tea I had at the beginning was also not very nice and ran out about ten minutes before I got my food so we just had to sit there for ages and wait they couldn't even say it was because they were really busy as when we got in there it was not that bad, nothing much nice to say about this place and to finish the young man who I think bought clean cups out of the kitchen looked absolutely filthy. Definitely won't be going back.

The breakfast was exceptional, not visually fancy but extremely tasty. Crispy bacon and well cooked sausages were just perfect. They also took my unusual allergy to raw herbs very seriously which is just brilliant, thank you. And they allow dogs :)

Love the bloody Mary toastie and chips with parmesan on top. Amazing coffee and a lovely selection of salads and cakes. Burger on Friday and Saturday nights. Chicken burger is cooked to perfection and definitely the best place in bury for a decent burger where you can sit in and eat! Love it

Stopped for a couple of drinks, I had a pint and my wife had a hot chocolate. We shared a cake, which was delicious. I would like to come back and try the burgers on a Saturday night. A great café with very attentive staff.

The best brekkie in Bury st edmunds

Great food in convenient location. Initially when looking at the menu we thought it was higher priced than we'd expect but when the food arrived, it was certainly worth it. We both paninis, mine with a pulled beef content and my wife a veggie option with spinach and mushroom and both with a load of cheese. Probably one of the best paninis in town. Friendly and quick service with added bonus of being dog friendly. Well worth a visit and will no doubt return

Utterly delicious food, imaginative options but nothing outlandish just wonderful produce cooked extremely well. The toasties were excellent, as you'd expect, but the poached eggs with choice of two toppings were a stand out with perfectly cooked eggs and mushrooms with a generous portion of smoked salmon. The bloody Mary brisket was also noteworthy. Can't wait to return, excellent value too.

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

Had a great sunday breakfast. Food was great, service was excellent. Only knocked a star off due to cost for a 'glass' of milk. Was a tiny little paper cup that was max 150ml for £1.50. Other than that, great experience.

I went to Wright's yesterday with a friend and would highly recommend it. We had poached eggs on toast with bacon and black pudding. The food was delicious, coffees were great and the hot chocolate was lovely. Prices are very reasonable, there are good choices on the menu including salads and vegan options. We were not rushed in any way and were made to feel very comfortable. Toilets were very clean and accessible. Will visit again. 😁😁 xxx

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

Had lunch with friends. I was optimistic as there was a queue (about a 20 min wait) so it seemed very popular. After being seated it was a long time (too long actually) before our order was taken. I can only comment on the food I had, which was the cheese and french onion toastie, a cappuccino and to finish lemon drizzle cake. Once again the food took a long time to arrive and we had to chase up the drinks. The toastie was drowning in french onion which to some may be fantastic, but it was overwhelming and rather than compliment the cheese i ended up removing at least half of it to be able to enjoy it properly. The cappuccino was average at best and not overly hot when it arrived. Finally the cake, sadly it had no flavour in the actual cake, and relied on a drizzle to give it flavour. So over my experience was such that I will not return (the only action that you can take when dissatisfied) It may have been a one off problem, and I dont usually like to post negative reviews, however the actual cost of the meal was high and did not live up to the price charged so unfortunately I have to give a thumbs down on this occasion.

It always seems to be busy. The food wasn't as good this time as last time.

Exquisitely crafted and beautifully presented chilli carrot soup!! 6 Stars (only limited by google)

Come here every Saturday couldn't fault how incredible the team are. Coffees are flawless food is banging 11/10

Update: As you can see below I used to love this place, however last couple of times having received not a great service- I sadly won't be coming back, purely because of one of members of staff that did not make me (and my friend) feel welcome. Her passive aggressive short responses, extremely cold attitude or ignoring when you try to grab her attention, altogether with looks like she was someone better than you is not really something a customer should deal with. I was nothing but polite and felt like she really didn't want me or my friend there. This has happened couple of times now and even though rest of staff are lovely and food is great - I do not wish to feel like an intruder in place that is supposed be a treat. I'm not sure what her name is but she was in early morning 2nd January. We're regulars at Wright's and go there everytime we're in Bury. Their salad selections are always amazing, so are the toasties and pretty much everything off the main menu. Would highly recommend for breakfast/lunch/brunch. Staff are always smiling and being really nice. Overall great food, great service, reasonably priced!

Food - okay for the price, slightly on the small side, ( as you can see from photo, only a few potato cubes with the breakfast) but overall everything was a little over cooked, maybe they were busy and quality slipped.. especially the sausages, texture were like chorizo (not sure if they are suppose like that) The beans taste like tinned tomato straight out the tin with mixed beans in it. The chicken waffle - chicken was burnt ( see second photo) batter turned dark brown and the waffle was over cooked (rock solid) Service - acceptable, but we asked for tap water at the beginning, the server forgot(too busy of course) and we had to ask again after 30 mins of food served.

Quirky cafe served with amazing food & brilliant service.

Its a lovely clean place Dont like the dogs could have a separate areas One was near us would not sit down kept come to us it was a big dog the person with just carried on reading his book Its not right not all people like dogs we had sat down first eating are food yes i would have moved

Got seated but gave up after just being left there for 10 minutes didn’t even get an apology so walked out breaky was had elsewhere in town

I wanted to have breakfast treat with a friend. Although very busy we were lucky to get a seat fairly quickly. We were taken to our table and given the brunch menu and cakes, could not see drink or breakfast menu. We just ordered 2 black Americano coffees and 2 peach danish pastry as well as water. The pastries and water arrived in good time. Coffee however took a long time and when it finally arrived my friend got a full cup and myself a ¾ cup as the assumption was I will have milk! I refused the milk and ended up with little less coffee. Now I must say we both really enjoy a good cup of strong coffee with flavour, a crema layer and smelling delicious. We doubted what we received was actually an Americano. No crema layer, it looked watery and I first thought it was from granulated coffee. I assumed it might have been filter coffee. My friend did not drink much of hers and I only desperately drank mine. We also had to ask for napkins and cutlery. I will not go back. However I would like to add the pastry was delicious.

I love Wright's, lovely food, cosy atmosphere and mostly hard working staff! Owners, what are you doing? You have hard working staff that put in the effort to keep your place full and ppl coming back and then you have some lazy balast that are mostly on their phone or loiter around doing eff all.

Love the food! The chef is great!

Great place for a toastie 😋 Service was super quick, food was delicious, very much recommend!

Lovely place for brunch/lunch. Friendly and efficient service.

Absolutely delicious. I wish there was a place like this in Cambridge.

Best brunch in town. i cant visit Bury without coming here for breakfast. amazing food!

Great food, good service. Comfortable seating .
