YO! Ipswich Tesco Extra in Babergh

Call at Tesco's in Boston for an awesome and amazing culinary experience best features the massive mushroom decent pot of tea to lovingly reliable friendly service with a smile shame there's no table reservation service

Very tasty and well cooked food. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Cheap but good quality. Worth a meal

I called into her with my son as we were travelling through the town. We were really disappointed with the food which was served up to us. I had the sour bread with cheese and ham at a cost of £4.00, my son had a chicken burger and chips at £6.00. Not top prices paid but I was really disappointed to get basically cheese on toast!! The bread was only toasted on one side and if there was any ham in it, I struggled to find it. The burger was acceptable but the chips looked like they had been fried a few times and were like bullets. The ladies serving and cleaning were really polite, friendly and pleasant to converse with, this is the only reason I gave one star. I hope these comments get taken on board and I look forward to any reply the management may wish to post on my comments. Tesco’s reputation has definitely been affected by the standard of the food served and looking at the comments prior to mine, it appears we were not the only ones being served poor quality food.

Well what can I say tables were dirty and chairs, had to wipe my own table with baby wipes and there was no staff around. I ordered a pannis and literally that’s all I got, I wished I had of take a picture lol. It was very poor now I would expect a dressed side salad on the side and few crisps just something on the plate to accompany it. There’s just no care or customer service there at all.

I bought a cup of tea and two slices of toast. The tea was okay, the toast arrived about five minutes after purchase. The supplied butter was rock hard, so I placed it on the toast to melt it some, but the toast was only just warm and could not melt the butter enough to spread it. I think I will give it a miss next time.

Very friendly staff, food fine, as you would expect from a cafe. We were late for an “all day breakfast “ they had run out of mushrooms....this is Tesco why can’t they go get some from the shelf.

A quick stop before shopping. I like eggs, I love poached eggs, so I chose poached eggs on brown bread. Stunned was I when they arrived at the table. Two formed 'poached' eggs that had come out of a mould and then got very lost on two pieces of brown toast. I supposed got what I ordered, and yes it was cheap, but little more effort to make the food look appetising isn't too much to ask, it it?

I can't see how this could have been so bad, this is a massive company that should know the right things to do, it could have been so much better without any extra cost to either side. First off, all the "Girls" from in the kitchen and behind the counter were stood with their hands in their pockets or leant up against something chatting, there was only one person that seemed to give a damn about customer service or anything else, I saw a woman touch and move an open bin, then pick up a food container and take it in the kitchen to be used, another coughed into her hand and shortly afterwards served a customer, in the seating area an elderly person asked about the menu, and was sharply told the menu is over there, it was out of sight and the poor woman had to get up and go look while her husband was in the toilet, how ignorant is that, it's disgusting, even more disgusting than the food and that's saying something. Speaking of which.... I asked for a normal breakfast, and was asked which one I wanted, so I repeated a normal one, and was then asked whether I wanted toast or fried bread, actually I would have liked bread and butter but that wasn't an option, I didn't request it because I'm reviewing this "as it comes" so to speak, in it's natural process. So... The hash browns were over microwaved tasteless hot mush enough to take the skin off my mouth, if you think these may have been straight out of the oven hot you'd be having a laugh, they were clearly out of the microwave, as was the sausage and beans, however to say these had any heat in them would have been a lie, they were probably just above room temperature. I didn't want fried bread so had to go with the toast option, with one tiny packet of butter that didn't even cover half a slice, well, i say toast, it somehow was soggy and wouldn't take any of the butter, the bacon was warmed enough so you could loosely say it was cooked, but again this was served at slightly above room temperature, and you can see it was hardly cooked at all and only just had a colour change from it's raw state, the tomato was ok, and the egg was also ok. This wasn't a cheap £3 breakfast, with a cuppa it was over £6, I think you would be hard pressed to get a worse breakfast then this anywhere in Ipswich, or even the surrounding area, a joke and an insult to it's customers is what I should be calling it, the basic hygiene here doesn't exist, the way they treat their customers is disrespectful, (I'm referring to the old lady incident) NOWHERE ELSE would that have happened, just that alone is a disgrace, but also tells you all you need to know about the food there as well, if you like playing food roulette and don't mind being ill, it's 50\50, pay your money and take your chance, you've been warned, the smart amongst us will steer well clear of any Tesco cafe if this is anything to go by...

Typical bog standard Tesco's greasy spoon cafe. Greasy microwave slop served on a plate. Crap service.Dirty cutlery.Indifferent staff who couldn't care less. Clearly anybody who has recommended this place are either devoid of their taste buds or have only eaten from a pigs trough prior to eating here. The French supermarkets are in a completely different league serving decent food & wine. Same old crap...

So I waited for my meal and I get given a tea plate with a child's amount of beans and one egg and one hash brown and a bowl of chips! When we asked the staff for bigger plate they didn't really understand what was the problem but I got one after we explained im 22 years old felt like a child because I don't eat pork!!! Wouldn't recommend to anyonen

Staff were friendly and polite food was ok its a cafe at the end of the day . Coffee after shopping if I wanted more I would go to a restaurant

Gone downhill over the past couple years. Place always look dirty. Some staff look at you waiting ignore you and then carry on with either talking or filling up the cups

Staff were very friendly, tables were spotless. Sat and drank my coffee whilst catching up on some paperwork. Felt very comfortable and coffee was good too!

Sat in front of the serving hatch and my wife and me both watched one of the chefs put spread on some bread followed by sucking the excess off his fingers before handling more food. TESCO absolutely disgusting behaviour by your staff.

My wife and myself stopped for a bite to eat while visiting family not impressed at all the service was terrible and the cleaning staff were disgusting , replacing serviette back on the clean pile from used tables , the till staff didn't seem like they were bothered serving you, and our table and cutlery was dirty I will not be going back to Tesco in the very near future

We expected a Breakfast at this place but was told "Only Samwitches" so we went to Burger King.Bad on you Tesco for telling me a Lie

I visited with my grandson a toasted sandwich was soft sloppy and disgusting I asked for a knife to cut it and was told very abruptly they were all in the wash and the young lady turned and carried on with what she was doing...

Staff friendly and polite but food not very I am sorry to say a big let down, At one time you got a good breakfast but not any more.

Not a typical supermarket café, food cooked to order, freshly prepared coffees not straight from a machine. Price wise very competitive. Staff extremely friendly. Never had a problem with their breakfast and think if you fancy one, try it, I don't think you will be...

Possibly one of the worst and saltiest breakfasts I’ve ever eaten. Sausages were reheated, eggs burnt, bacon white & underdone, hash browns limp & underdone. I didn’t even get the fried slice I was promised! Coffee was cheap and almost as thick as gravy!

Went to Tesco cafe at Copdock Ipswich for breakfast yesterday. It was the worse breakfast I have ever eaten. The sausage was tasteless, bacon was tasteless, egg was just about cooked.Only good thing was the one half of toast I got with the breakfast. Breakfast...

Came for a jacket potato each. It took about half an hour to get served, and then the waiting staff brought over an entirely wrong meal. It was another five minutes before we finally got served the correct food. My potato was a little tough,...

Ordered omelette mushroom and tomatoes at 10.52 drinks arrived at 11.00 . Asked at 11.10 where food was and was told on the way. 11.15 Drinks finished 11.25 had enough and asked for a refund for food as I was not going to wait any...

Went for lunch Tuesday with my husband, and quite honestly say it was not very good at all. We both had baked potato with chilli con carni, it came with an extremely small salad garnish. The lettice was not very fresh and was very tough...

Stopped here for lunch as a break on a drive to Great Yarmouth. Cafe newly refurbished, but the surprising thing is that once you place your order for food/drink you are given a paddle with a number and your food/drink is then brought to your...

I used to like the breakfasts here, as mostly they were very good - choose your own customized breakfasts with choice of 8 or 10/12 item price ranges with additional extra items (if required), however they have now took the 'so called' Trendy 'One Size...

So it was some early morning shopping for us and decided to try a English breakfast ,two types availible classic or all day £1.00 difference £4.99 /5.99 for that extra you get mushroom and black pudding .The staff behind the counter must have had a...

Excellent sausages with buttered toast and pot of tea, for £3. The rest of the breakfasts on offer, looked very good. You must try Tesco's Copdock.

Exhausted after chasing round the main shop. There was a choice of basic food to chase from. Staff very kind too. Not your al last carte but worth a stop off.

... I feel the need to point out the dufference between a Vegeterian Sausage and a potato and vegetable sausage shaped item is huge! The later was disappointing which is a shame because they have been repeating on me all day! I don't usually rate...

Once a month or so I have their delicious two sausages on toast , with a cup of tea for just over a pound !!

There's nothing wrong with a Tesco breakfast, I've had one today and it was fine, Cumberland sausages (nice), decent enough bacon, freshly cooked hashbrowns etc. not microwaved as some people may think. Tesco breakfast is good (not the best as that award goes to the...

Seems to me that some of the people posting positive reviews here regarding Tescos café are either easily pleased or not too fussy about being served rubbish food.This is just another typical supermarket café serving bog standard food to cater for the masses.Why can't these...

Called in here after going to the nearby Little Chef for breakfast and walking out. Not much better here. Arrived at 11.30 and asked for an all day breakfast, girl at counter said we would have to wait for it as they didn't serve breakfast...

Good enough to fill a gap I've had the Breakfast and thought the sausages were particularly nasty Lunch? Not too bad, I've had worse

Have not been here for around 2 years due to work/lifestyle commitments, the last time I had a Tesco breakfast here was pretty average as it was then run by an outside catering company. As I now have Saturday's off from work now (now got...

Collecting my pal to go sailing we thought a cooked breakfast would be a good idea. We met at the Tesco Extra at the Junction with the A12 & A14. It opened at 8.00 am The breakfast was a cooked one with egg, bacan ,...
