About Sunrise cafe
On St Matthew's St in Ipswich, Sunrise Cafe serves Turkish food across an all-day breakfast and lunch menu. The breakfast comes as numbered sets, breakfast 1, breakfast 3 and breakfast 7 among them, built around dishes like mantı, menemen and lahmacun, with künefe and baklava for the sweeter end. Gözleme is also on offer, including a cheese version, alongside freshly baked Turkish bread often paired with hummus. Soups run to lentil and meat versions, and Türkish tost fills out the lunch side. To drink, there is Turkish coffee, filtre coffee, kürdish tea and Türkish tea, plus fresh juice. The cafe operates on a walk-in basis, with food sometimes taking fifteen to twenty minutes to reach the table. Traditional Kurdish and Turkish music plays over the room. Street parking nearby is limited by residential permit restrictions.

Customer Review Summary
Turkish breakfast is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly naming specific plates like breakfast 1, breakfast 3, and breakfast 7, alongside gözleme and freshly baked bread with hummus. Close behind, the coffee and cappuccino earn praise, and several mention the Turkish bread specifically. Diners describe the food as fresh and full of flavor, the portions generous, and the staff friendly and welcoming, with one noting the traditional Kurdish music adds to the atmosphere. A recurring trade-off is the wait for food, which some reviewers describe as slow though they still returned. One reviewer reports circling nearby streets unable to find parking and never made it inside. Several say they were recommended by a friend or plan to return, and one flagged that the online menu is outdated compared to what's actually served.
