Quick info
About Ivy House Cafe & Post Office
On Church Bank in Montgomery, Ivy House Cafe & Post Office shares its premises with the local post office, so an errand and a coffee stop happen in the same room. Seating is limited to three tables, and the windows look out over the square. Sandwiches, including bacon, egg, or sausage, are made from scratch each day, alongside a menu of twelve dishes that runs from cauliflower and spring vegetable options to home-baked cakes and scones with cream. The curd range spans ginger, lemon, lime, and orange. It operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily. A corner of the cafe stocks crafts, jams, and marmalades from a local company, and cards and games are kept on hand to occupy children while adults linger over the counter.

Customer Review Summary
Homemade sandwiches made from scratch draw the most praise at this tiny cafe attached to Montgomery's post office, with several reviewers also singling out the scone and cream and home-baked cakes. Close behind is the warmth around the owner, described repeatedly as kind, wonderful, and super, running the counter and the post office duties at once, with one visitor calling the coffee and breakfast delicious and another highlighting the double latte and avocado toast. A few note the space is genuinely small, just three tables, and offerings are limited, cold sandwiches and other items sometimes unavailable if ingredients run short. One reviewer, while calling the owner kind, gently suggests she seemed stressed and could listen to orders before restocking rather than after. The cafe also stocks local jams, marmalades, and crafts alongside the food, which reviewers mention picking up on their visits.

“What a lovely cafe, the food and drinks were superb 👌 we all had different drinks, and each drink was so lovely! The lady owner was very kind and attentive. It was a quaint cafe with cards and games to keep the children entertained. The windows look out over the square. We will definitely be back.”

“Quirky little cafe in Montgomery. Only had 3 tables. Made sandwiches from scratch which was fine, not too long a wait. Tasty food. Good choice of teas and coffee. Also sold crafts, jams, marmalades etc from local company. Would recommend”

“This place is cool because it's connected to the Post. It is quaint, and local staff makes stuff each day. Owner/staff seemed really really kind, but stressed! Try not to worry so much, and listen to what folks want to order before running off to buy more ingredients. Thanks.”
