Went for breakfast had the pancakes with berries and maple syrup gorgeous. Sat in the courtyard, lovely sitting, staff friendly and helpful. Nothing but praise well worth a visit our first time but will be back

Great service by pleasant and good natured staff. Was really pleased to be able to order items on the breakfast menu well after midday. A very individual and interesting place to meet. Cakes looked good but will have to return one afternoon to sample them !

After driving through Hadleigh in search of somewhere for a devonshire afternoon tea, we ended up at crabtrees. It look promising but unfortunately was a let down. A little, quaint shop on the high street. On walking in I had to wait at the counter 10mins to have a table pointed out where I could sit. By the time hubby came in having parked the car a long distance away, I still hadnt been served, the table hadnt been cleared from the previous person & I didnt have a menu. Finally we served to find out that they don't even serve devonshire teas (scone, jam, cream & a cup of tea)! I asked if they didnt serve this as the norm, I'd pay extra to have some jam & cream, but they said they couldnt do that. Despite coming out of the front counter & requiring no preparation, the scone took 20mins to arrive at my table- 2m away. It was the driest, hardest I have ever had. .When I pointed this out to the lady serving, she didnt appologise, but just said thats how they are. Maybe we were there on a bad day, but that staff seemed too busy to care & the scones are dreadful.

I love this place. Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me sane. Great little cafe. Serves breakfast/lunch/snacks/cake etc and is licensed. Good atmosphere. Situated on the High Street in Hadleigh, so not in Ipswich at all (Qype please take note)! There is a good variety of lunchtime dishes - most pretty light. Like the Thai crabcakes. Plenty of baguettes and panini, usually served up pretty quickly, though it can get busy in summer. Lovely garden out back and a room upstairs if you have a bigger party. Great to just drop in for tea and cake or a beer in the evening if you fancy a change from the pub.
