Fish finger sandwich on a wet miserable afternoon was very welcome, prompt friendly service and a hot cuppa topped it off. Thankyou.

Popped into Chilli & Chives for a teatime snack yesterday. I had an absolutely fabulous cheese scone and my husband had beautifully light coffee cake. What a delight to have quality home-made produce! Will definitely visit sgain.

Lovely little spot in Lavenham! We popped in for tea on a quiet Sunday afternoon and were so pleasantly surprised to find they had a delicious vegan chocolate cake! Very friendly service and cozy ambiance ?Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options available

Came here for coffee and the next day for breakfast. Friendly place with good selection of breakfast options. I had egg and avacodo on toast, which was great.

Always popped into this tearoom in Lavenham when visiting over the last decade (and a bit more!)Cake and savouries always delicious and home baked.The Plum cake (poss Gluten free?) is delicious and staff will warm up with a generous dollop of cream!Staff very accomodating and always pleasant.Not that im gluten free, but seems an excellent range of cakes for the GF's.One of my favourite stops for coffee :)

What a fabulous cafe we came across whilst exploring beautiful Lavenham. Very friendly staff and an excellent choice of drinks and cakes (including gluten free for myself). Nicely laid out inside. light and bright too. Would definitely recommend.

As always food, portion size and service excellent. Don’t understand other reviews that complain about food, cost, portion size or service. Never had an issue with any of it. Agree abt toilet area- does need smartening up. My only gripe is that despite doing amazing gluten free cheese scones they do not have gluten free bread to make a sandwich with. It is not difficult to purchase gluten free bread or rolls, freeze individual slices or rolls and toast to make a sandwich. Other than that no complaints and we visit at least once a month cos of amazing cakes.

The staff were welcoming and friendly from arrival. The menu Is quite small but has a good variety and the specials were offered too. The service throughout our visit was just as you would hope. I had a cheese ploughman’s which was really fresh and tasty and was a good portion size. The pine nuts on the salad added a lovely crunchy texture. My daughter had a tuna mayo sandwich was was really fresh and tasty too. The cakes look really good but we were too full to try them.

Nice stop on a cool May day, good latte and cappucino. Bacon Rolls, bacon could have been a bit crisper, but perhaps waitress didn't pass request on to kitchen.
Good that it allows dogs in. Dog was given water without asking which was a nice touch.Lavenham can be a bit high with prices but is a lovely place.Sat in the table near the window that had various things displayed. Looked unkempt as a couple of dead wasps there. Service okay, asked for 2 scones and then friend said he'd have one, no napkin brought with 3rd scone, but hubby and I shared. Toilet wall looked bit grim.

Had lunch here and the service was very good and the food also ok. My wife often eats here. We went back for a piece of cake and a coffee which is when the problem occurred.My brother in law has a learning disability and wanted to use the toilet to get there you have to go through the kitchen then into a small room filled with junk then into the toilet. I wasn’t sure of the set up and even though my brother in law is 60 he is frightened by locking the toilet door so I have to wait outside. I was standing in the kitchen and I explained, to I presume the owner, what the situation was she turned to me without any acknowledgment of what I had just said and exclaimed you can’t wait here go in and wait in that room you are in my way.Firstly I wasn’t in anyone’s way and secondly the total failure to recognise that people with a disability need help was disgusting.We didn’t stay nor will we ever be back.And if you come back with some excuse it would never cover the way you made us feel you’re a shocking women how cares nothing about anyone other than herself.

Gorgeous little teahouse, with extremely moist tasty cakes and what seems like a wonderful menu of quiches and sandwiches. Coffee cake was amazing

Absolutely ridiculous prices for very small portions. Nothing wrong with quality but wow!!! £3.50 for a can of pop. £14 for 4. Never known anything so obscene. Two sausage rolls half size of any normal sausage roll very very small. Do not visit absolute rip off merchants. Blatantly paying for where you are. Keep your money in your pocket. Knew prices of food but can’t see the portion sizes, also soft drinks not advertised on any visible board. Can tell it’s a magic based town as it made my money disappear very quickly!!!!
