The Long Melford Tea Room

Fantastic tea room, wonderful friendly hosts and amazing cakes with lots of gluten free options! Staff were excellent as was the food, cannot recommend enough, we will be back!

What a delightful tea room! This must be one of the best cafes I've ever been to. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, and served quickly. There is plenty of seating inside and tables outside too. The beam and interior decorations are beautiful, and I love the fairy lights. I ordered a breakfast tea for one, and it was served in beautiful china cup, saucer, teapot, and little jug for the milk. The lady who served me gave me an extra teapot of hot water to top up the tea leaves teapot - it was so nice to be given this at the start and not have to ask! Very good value for money. I had my tea with soy milk, and they also offer oat milk as a dairy free alternative. I also bought a slice of gluten free lemon drizzle to take away, and it was AMAZING! Moist and packed with flavour, and I loved the lemon curd and icing on top. I saw that they have a separate fridge for gluten free food so felt reassured that they are careful in the preparation and storage of gluten free food. They had gluten free rocky road too, but all their cakes are homemade so on another day the choices might have been different. Nice to see different options to the token gluten free brownie that most cafes offer! Will definitely return to Long Melford in order to come back here again! Lovely staff, gorgeous interior and tea sets, and wonderful tea and cake. What's not to love? Thank you Long Melford Tea Room 😊❤️ Also - they have plenty of plug sockets for charging phones / laptops which was a relief for me since my phone battery was low. Not all cafes have wall plug sockets available, so it's worth noting!
