Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast is the dish reviewers raise most, served hot and cooked just how one diner likes it, with beans another says are certainly not tinned catering ones. Close behind, one reviewer calls the breakfast wrap the best they have had, while others single out the Beef Croque Monsieur, the pancakes, and french toast with pistachio, along with an Easter special french toast topped with a chocolate hot cross bun. A cortado and the coffee in general earn praise too. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere as relaxed, quiet, and comfortable with plenty of seating. A few mention good value, with one calling the food very well priced. The cakes and pastries on the counter keep drawing attention: some diners took cakes away and called them yummy, and another wished they had left room for them.

“Quite simply, one of the best full English breakfasts I've had. Everything was cooked just how I like it. It was served hot, and the beans were amazing. Certainly not a tin of catering beans.”

“Wow what a great little find. Have walked past a few times but never been in. We saw a review so decided to come in. The food was amazing we had a breakfast and a breakfast wrap. I can honestly say its the best breakfast wrap I've ever had. We also purchased some different cakes to take away and they were so yummy. Will definitely be returning”

“Had such a lovely brunch here! The service was friendly, quick, and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed chat — quiet, comfortable, and with plenty of seating. The food was amazing! I had the Beef Croque Monsieur and it was absolutely fantastic. The coffee was great too, and overall it felt like really good value for money. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to! So many things caught my eye on the menu that I would like to try!!!”

“Absolutely divine breakfast, lunch and brunch options! We had the french toast with pistachio, and the Easter special french toast, with a chocolate hot cross bun. Both were delicious and I'd have loved to have had room for some of the cakes at the counter!”

“Inspired by locally sourced food and lovingly crafted coffee, Honey + Harvey has three locations in Suffolk. Our independent brunch spots each have their own unique vibe and encompass everything that H+H stands for – good, locally sourced food, good coffee, and good vibes. Honey + Harvey has been serving up a storm since 2011 when we opened our very first H+H coffee shop in Woodbridge, Suffolk. We wanted to create a space where locals and tourists could enjoy fresh, local food, amazing coffee, and a refreshing atmosphere. We now have shops in Woodbridge, Melton, Ipswich & Colchester”
