Old Bakery Cafe - Carta

Lovely, friendly cafe with good gluten free options (sandwiches, rolls, soup, cakes). I wish I lived locally because I'd be in all the time.

While on my way home from Suffolk to Hampshire, I stumbled upon Dedham and The Old Bakery. I had a fantastic lunch with excellent service, and I couldn't resist taking away some slices of their delicious cakes.

The food, service, location and ambience of the old bakery is awesome. I get food to takeaway sometimes as so delicious. Coffee tastes great and made spot on, sandwiches and pastries fresh and the right size. venue is light, bright and always spotless. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Ver carta

Family of 5 adults, a toddler baby birthday lunch on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Excellent prompt friendly service. Food was homely, well cooked and promptly served. Festive atmosphere brilliant visit to Santa his elves in a delightfully decorated Shepards hut.Will definately visit again!

This café is a pleasant place to visit, although it can be quite busy at times, which is to be expected. The food we ordered was of good quality and reasonably priced. However, nothing particularly unique that you couldn't find at any other decent café. Despite that, I would definitely come back.

I had arranged to meet a friend here and luckily we had booked because even though it was early morning this place was very popular.There was a great menu selection and I’m sorry but I forgot to take photos. Tea was ordered first and even when we had finished the staff came and offered to fill the pot up. I thought this was extremely thoughtful especially as people were waiting to be seated we weren’t expected to leave. Top marks for curtesy girls. Just make sure you book in advance so you won’t be disappointed. Ver carta

This is a great place for lunch or breakfast. We stopped here on the way from London to Southwold on the basis of the TA Reviews and because it was dog friendly. Couldn’t believe how busy it was at 11.30 on a wet Friday morning and we were lucky to get a table.We were also just in time for the breakfast menu and very much enjoyed a full English and poached egg and avocado on sourdough. The service was really friendly too. Would stop here in future and maybe try the lunch menu or the cakes next time.Dedham is a very pretty village and nice for a walk pre or post your visit to the Old Bakery!

My friend and I had a late breakfast here 29.1.2020 and were more than delighted. Chose a full bakery English breakfast sausage and bacon first class and poached eggs on sourdough with smashed avocado. Both meals were excellent quality and presented beautifully. Waitresses were very friendly and professional and seats were comfortable and tables well placed in quite a small room did not feel overcrowded. If you love poached eggs with well cooked whites and a yoke which runs when cut into then you will not be disappointed best I have had for a long time. The English breakfast consists of so many choices mushrooms, grilled tomato, toast, fried eggs, beans. What a feast. Lovely building too.

First visit after reading reviews. We had an explore for new lunch venue, Dedham is such a pretty location.We had not booked and were very lucky to secure a table (Saturday lunchtime)Very small inside so book to avoid disappointment. Cosy, clean interior.We both had Bubble Squeak with Poached Egg without Hollandaise sauce. Very prompt service ... dish was nicely presented tasted delicious, orange yolked eggs were ultra fresh.We followed with Lemon Cake Coffee Cake. My coffee cake was very rich in flavour, really nice. My friend found Lemon cake a little sweet but that’s personal preference not the baking!2 big cups of coffee £17.50 great value! Efficient staff, clean toilets it’s a great sto... Ver carta
