Cuppa, nestled beautifully on High Rd W in Felixstowe, is not just a coffee shop; it's a delightful sanctuary for coffee lovers and community seekers alike. As highlighted by patrons, this café boasts an inviting atmosphere, thanks to its eclectic décor and warm hospitality. Many reviews celebrate the welcoming nature of the staff, with mentions of young baristas crafting excellent coffees and homemade gluten-free cakes that cater to various dietary needs, including vegan options.
The ambiance is often described as reminiscent of a cozy living room, adorned with vibrant furniture and captivating artwork, which makes everyone feel at home. Regulars appreciate the space not only for its delicious offerings, such as fresh pastries and savory veggie dishes, but also for its role as a community hub, hosting everything from bereavement circles to art groups.
Cuppa doesn’t just serve food and drink; it creates experiences. With occasional live music and the charm of a community spirit, each visit feels like a warm reunion rather than just a stop for coffee. As one visitor aptly put it, it truly is an "oasis in Felixstowe"—a destination you can't miss!

Cuppa is the most exquisite cafe - an absolute jewel of a place nestled away on High Rd West Felixstowe - if you’re visiting Felixstowe you MUST go! We live in London and have spotted it on our way home many times before & today we stopped. We only had time for a take away but we shall be back! It’s early on Easter Sunday & we had the most fabulous welcome by a young man behind the counter who rustled up the most delicious coffee & we grabbed some gluten free cakes to go as well. There is a huge menu with vegan and gluten free choices, also lots of different milks. The ambience inside is wonderful, it’s beautifully decorated with carefully chosen furniture, so colourful and it just looked such a homely place. We absolutely loved this cafe , it’s exactly what we needed to cheer us up when we really didn’t want to leave Felixstowe (we never do!). This is a very good reason to come back again soon. Thank you guys for being open today & for being so welcoming. You rock

If you feel lonely, need to find your tribe or just want to sit in eclectic settings with superb homemade free from cakes, cooking and lovely drinks then look no further. Sarah and Lou will be your hosts and believe me it is like walking into someone’s lounge. I walked in and they had just finished a bereavement circle. Then there was an art group. There are many groups and interests to pursue here. It’s a safe, beautiful and exceptionally relaxed environment that you will want to to come back to time and time again x you are greeted with smiles and I can say it’s an oasis in Felixstowe x

Several friends had mentioned this community cafe to me, and although it is only a seven minute cycle ride from my house, it's not on my normal route to anywhere. Except for the nearby Walton House dental hygienist - and today was the day! So, having been given a sparklingly dazzling smile by Angela, I parked my bike, admired the attractive exterior, and ventured inside. Wow!! It is the only word. The decor is both eclectic and extraordinary. There are comfy settees, bar stools, books to read, board games to play, loads of interesting photographs and paintings. The list goes on and on. Principally, Cuppa is a coffee shop and has lovely home-baked cakes, pastries, veggie sausage rolls, and so much more. Nice, unobtrusive, background music, too. My lunch was a yummy freshly baked garlic focaccia, sauteed mushrooms with nicely dressed onion and green salads. Washed down with a splendid cappuccino. All for a bargain 10.90. A friendly welcome, too, which counts for so much these days. I don't have another dental appointment until January, but I will be back long before then. But only if Pippin, the little dog, has stopped having a hissy fit.

THIS IS THE BEST CAFE EVER. If you like old music then this is perfect. The walls are uniquely decorated and there are a beutiful paintings everywhere. The staff are patient and nice and make THE BEST BEST BROWNIES. They do savoury pastries and sweet delicious desserts. There are two Gibson guitars mounted on the wall and as a guitar player myself I really want to play them. The chairs are very comfy and in all it's a warm welcoming atmosphere. CUPPA IS THE BEST!

My friends and I go fairly often on our lunch break for a catch up. Sometimes just coffee and sometimes lunch. The ‘Healthy Stuff’ plate is always amazing and I’ve also had soup before which was delicious. I love the quirky vibe and the fact in the past I’ve had a food intolerance, it’s lovely to have somewhere in Felixstowe that does vegan food. The staff are also so friendly and accommodating.

There are 184 reviews for this coffee /cake house , and they all mention how lovely the coffee/ tea/ cake/ decor /atmosphere is . But I can add some more thing/ how they change people’s lives in a good way , with their kindness / thoughtfulness / concern / compassion / and just there goodwill towards people, I say all this because they have helped a very good friend of mine, in difficult times 5 is not enough, thank you.
