My mum and I come here whenever we’re Bungay-way. I’m so impressed with this business, the service is so warm and hospitable (we wanted the lunch platter for two but my mum couldn’t have garlic so she offered us two different boards), the salads are spectacular and ever changing - today we tried the apple with sesame and pak choi and also a delicious coleslaw - and the prices, you can’t beat them. I’m so happy to see that this place is always busy, and the food always made and served with so much love.

Earthen Street Cafe is a delightful place to have a coffee and treat. My mocha was a prefect chocolate-coffee and our cheese scones were slightly warm. The other diners were very friendly and chatty, every time we visit Bungay or Beccles proves Suffolk is so much more friendly than Norfolk.

Looking for a great little place for food in Bungay then look no further! On a freezing cold day we dropped in for lunch. We both had soup and a large cheese scone. Both were excellent just what was needed to warm us up. Service was friendly and prompt. Give it a try….

Great little find in the high street, has a really interesting menu, totally unexpected to the usual tea shop/cafe fare. Had the sharing platter which was delicious and I got two and a half generous cups of tea out of my pot which is generally unheard of! Great atmosphere, recommend booking as this is where all the local are. Staff very friendly and helpful and theres also an outside courtyard and loyalty card programme. What's not to love??

Wonderful cafe in Bungay, the food is amazing and the staff are warm and friendly, giving it a homely vibe. Portions are very generous for food, cakes, and drinks. They have an entire separate menu for gluten free, gluten free + lactose free, and vegan! As someone with food allergies, this is a go-to cafe. They have breakfast, lunch, coffee, cakes, and macarons for those without various intolerances. The cafe is also dog friendly both inside and out, and they even have dog water, treats, and towels .
