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.

“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”
- Courtney Deavours
“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.”
- Gordon STUART Montgomery

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the owner, a lady who runs the cafe and the post office together and is described as kind, friendly and wonderful, even while managing multiple customers. Close behind is the homemade, freshly prepared food, with the scone and cream, home-baked cakes, avocado toast and a double latte named by diners, plus simple bacon, egg or sausage sandwiches made from scratch. Good coffee and a choice of teas also get mentioned. Several note the quaint size, with only three tables, and cards and games that keep children entertained, while the windows look out over the square. Local crafts, jams and marmalades are also sold. The one caveat comes from a reviewer who found the owner kind but stressed, and who saw her run off to buy more ingredients before hearing what people wanted to order. Another heard her say she only did a limited number of things, and cold sandwiches would need a different arrangement. Prices are called very reasonable, and one diner mentions returning for a second visit.
