  “Amazing little find ! I wanted something good to eat so wandered away from the main area where all the usual fast food chains are, and found Bay Tree Cafe. From first entering you know it's going to be good. Such a warm welcome, lovely friendly atmosphere, and service was excellent. I had the slow braised beef hash. Honestly it was one of the best dishes I have ever had. Superb 🤩”

  “I had never tried poutine before, and I have to say… it was so good. I’d honestly come back just for that alone. Such a great first experience with it. The English breakfast was a classi, super satisfying and perfectly done. Everything tasted rich and buttery in the best way. Definitely a spot I’d return to.”

  “Incredible menu!!! We had the chicken hash and mushroom sandwich, and I haven’t had a better lunch since 1968!!!! Our waiter (Aussie/kiwi???) went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be happier Will be highly recommending to friends and colleagues”

  “Popped in for a bite to eat. Nice menu with a good variety- I chose the Mac and cheese fiery version! It was delicious: quickly served by friendly and helpful team, drinks were made quick and the food was fresh and tasty!! Have popped here before with my two young boys and it was a great visit, this time was much the same Well worth a visit 😃🙌”

  “A great little place in St John’s St, aka “the cool quarter “ in Bury St Edmunds. We stopped in for a quick coffee and a snack to be greeted by a lovely friendly welcome. The coffees were great, why wouldn’t they be as they use Butterworth & Sons, a local coffee supplier with a high reputation. We had a cranberry scone with clotted cream and jam, it was warm and fresh, also we had chocolate chip cookies, all delicious. Highly recommended.”

  “It being half term, with the streets packed, I decided to have an early lunch at this popular cafe. It was pleasantly busy with a nice atmosphere and a very friendly welcome. It was interesting to see the vast numbers of freshly baked scones coming out of the ovens, no doubt all to be devoured as the day progressed. I opted for the 'slow braised beef hash with kimchi, roasted mushrooms, onion and homemade Gochujang hot sauce'. Hot it most certainly was, but the helpful server did warn me. It was a dish that, had it been prepared fresh, would probably have been wonderful. However, much of the base ingredients appeared to have spent their more recent lives in a microwave rather than a frying pan. (May the chef forgive me if that was not the case). To be frank, the onions and mushrooms were just mush, rendering the diced fried potatoes soggy. (£12.99). Bad choice, but I am sure to return and will make a different selection the next time. A few extra thoughts; the tip jar had a few fivers stuck among the coins. It reminded me of a former Dean at Norwich Cathedral who told me he always left some notes among the coins in the giant collection boxes 'to encourage larger donations'. The stairs upstairs to the loos are somewhat challenging to a 71 year old. Oh and they have really fast WiFi, coming in at 72.3 Mbps.”

  “Only discovered this wonderful place after hearing of their recent achievements from good food awards. Lovely food with plenty of options on the menu. I absolutely loved the loaded fries, and the mac & cheese was amazing too, with quality cheese being used, a true sign of a passionate chef. Will be back very soon to sample the rest of the menu. Truly well deserved award 👏”
