Ahhh this cafe is such a little gem in Bury St Edmunds and I feel that everyone should know about it! Gorgeous decor and gorgeous service... the overall vibe is just perfect and great for all audiences. Also fab if you have little ones. The food is amazingly wholesome and you can feel how much love and thought goes into each dish. Can't recommend it enough ♥️

Great menu, really tasty food at really good prices. It looks like a happy place to work and that's reflected in the great service.

What a lovely find down St John's Street! On a rainy afternoon we came upon this charming cafe in need of warming drinks and a sweet treat. Such lovely staff and a charming rustic environment to sit and enjoy the refreshments. We can't always get our specialised requirement for coffee ( decaffeinated flat white with oat milk) but no problem here. We shared a piece of the carrot cake (my husbands favourite and he's tried a few!) and it was delicious!We perused the breakfast menu while we were there and it was full of variety and sounded delicious.Can't wait to come back again to try more!

This place is a must to visit. 3Minute walk from centre of town and tucked down St Johns street and near the church. The cafe provides a quiet space to enjoy lunch. There is outdoor and indoor seating plus, this is a dog friendly and child friendly environment. The main reason for my review is to say I have eaten the best Greek salad (on pitta) today, which I have ever eaten.. and that includes when on holiday in Greece! Cake selection is homemade and spectacular too and all great value for money. Top choice to visit when in Bury.

Came for lunch and ordered the Greek Salad with gluten free pitta since I am coeliac. The salad was delicious - filled with tomatoes, olives, feta, rocket, cucumber and tzaziki. Also had the vegan berry smoothie which was yummy. Generous portion sizes and great value for money.Lovely garden space with plenty of tables.Also had many wonderful cakes on offer, including a gluten free coconut banana and honey cake. The slices are big and they looked delicious.Run by volunteers who are very friendly. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: lentil and roast pumpkin salad, Greek Salad, vegetarian curry with chickpea and beans, hummus and yoghurt with pitta, plenty of vegetarian toasties.Also vegan cheese available!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread (pitta) available, as well as gluten free cake! Vegan cake and vegan cheese available.

Small, local, all vegetarian café, staffed mainly by volunteers. Excellent food and a small, pretty outside space too. Ideal for young children with toys and storytime. Also, older people who appreciate the ethos and homemade food.

We stopped here on a whim for a coffee, but just had to try the cake. One chocolate cake and one lemon and blueberry and I must say they were right up there as being the best cakes we have ever had.
