Had a gorgeous visit this morning with my pooch. Enjoyed an amazing generous slice of bakewell tart with cream accompanied by a lovely coffee in great surroundings. Very lovely ladies serving; thank you! Xx
This is a traditional type seaside cafe but a bit nicer than usual and a bit more expensive ( well it is Southwold !) My wife likes a jacket potato but is often disappointed with what she gets presented with . Not so here and an unprecedented 9 out of 10 . Baked properly with crispy skins ; cooked but not overcooked ; beans+ cheese+ butter + coleslaw all in seperate pots and a generous amount of fresh salad. Tuna sandwich was very good too and the service was very good/pleasant.
A quaint little cafe serving drinks and snacks, we called twice in our day at Southwold. Staff very pleasant.
Southwold Boating Lake tea room is the best place to go for a delicious lunch or cream tea. The food is beautifully prepared and served and freshly made each time. The cakes are all made on the premises and are all wonderful using the best ingredients, and the scones served with the cream tea are the biggest and most delicious I’ve ever tasted. I’d recommend the tea rooms to anyone wanting good efficient service, delicious food and wonderful views over the reed beds and boating lake.
Superb; best home cooked sausage rolls & cheese scones in East Anglia, you'll find none better. Staff are lovely & the service 1st class. 110%
Escaped heavy downpour in pleasant sheltered surroundings. A scone and pot of tea passed a pleasant three quarters of an hour before the sun came out again. A great location for a snack and the ducks on the lake with bottoms and legs in the air were a hoot!
A spotless, lovely place to eat , the staff were so friendly and the prices very reasonable, we will definitley recommend it to our friends..
This is one of the nicest spots for a drink and a snack, It's like a little oasis. David & Penny put in such an effort to making it look good, with plants and encouraging wildlife, it's a credit to them. The food is all home cooked and nicely presented too. I hope they eventually get all the lakes back into use, I know how much effort David has put into this already. Highly recommended. If you like to be in touch with nature, you'll love it.
Was looking for somewhere to eat and came across this. Had a lovely scone and my daughter had a sausage roll and cake. Staff were very friendly. Would defiantly come back if we are in the area. Highly recommend
A delightful cafe by the boating lake. Real 1940s feel about the place. Very pleasant and friendly staff. The afternoon tea is a must. Well worth trying
Lovely seasonal cafe offering hot and cold meals & snacks with a great menu. Scones were to die for. Lovely views over the marshes & great for bird watching.
Good location by the car park and pier and on the boating lake, prime position. Thought the drink and food prices were a bit excessive but friendly staff.
Ideally located very close to a huge car park. Pleasant staff in this "step back in time" tea room. Excellent bread pudding, good selection of snacks, light lunches, etc. Seating inside and outside overlooking the boating lake. Would definitely revisit. FYI no toilet facilities on site but clean public toilets very close by.
It was a damp cloudy Sunday which we made the most of. Played Crazy Golf which was great fun for ALL the family. (Also entitles you to 10% discount in Cafe) Had snack Lunch for 6 adults and 3 kids (special Pirate Pack which went down well) - very good and friendly service. Also some lovely home made cakes. Great experience.
Right next to the beach car and coach park behind the boating lake site thie sweet little cafe. The staff were very nice and the prices OK.

Great little café with the boating lake in front, you sit on the terrace and although you are behind the car park, it still feels serene and cosy. Great scones and cakes, good coffee, nice people.
