Nutshells By-the-Sea in Felixstowe

"Lovely atmosphere, Really friendly attentive staff and quite possibly the best selection of paninis & toasties that were simply delicious. We even enjoyed the recommendations for what to do in the area on a wet sunday afternoon when you don't know the area. What a find!"

"I have been visiting Felixstowe for almost 2 years now and every time I am here I frequent Nutshells at least three times a week for a bacon bap and vanilla lattte. Being from Canada, I had never had a bacon bap before and I am totally addicted. Bacon, butter and a bun, who would have thought it would be so delicious - Nutshells on the Sea! Jill remembers both Robin and I year to year and she and Ian have a personal engaging relationship with not only us but all their patrons. Thank you so much for the great food and atmosphere. Melissa and Robin"

"Friendly staff serving excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. My jacket potato with side salad, coleslaw and coronation chicken was delicious. The daily soup looked like a great option as well."

"Amazing venue! Popped in the other day with family and credit where credit’s due. Came with elderly family and not one request was a problem for the team. Nan had a scone and we had lunch. Food was beautifully presented, drinks were great value for money and arrived in good time. Noise level was ambient allowing nan to hear our conversations. Such a lovely afternoon!"

"Great home atmosphere Kind attention and services Good choice of food, all like home taste Choosen jacket potato with a various of shrimps, salmon, and dressings And planning to visit this place again, to enjoy the soups , homemade pie, cake and other delicious) Thanks to owners for the atmosphere and delicious food!"

"Really lovely cafe offering tasty home-cooked food and a warm welcome. We went there for a late lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered. Clean plates all round. Leave room for a slice of one of their freshly made cakes. The coffee cake was delicious. Service was excellent. Definitely one to visit if you're in the area. You'll be well looked after."

"Lovely, friendly, independent 'coffee' shop. Serving a good selection of cold and hot food. They even made my favourite croissant, stuffed with melted cheese and a pot of jam (there are a selection of jams to choose from) to go with it. Coffee was tasty too. Plenty of seating. Well worth a visit. Find a table, order at the till. Must try one of their homemade cakes next time."

"Without doubt the best tea rooms / place for brunch / coffee meet-up establishment in all of Felixstowe and I very much suspect much of Suffolk. This really is a delightful place. They get all the important things right, namely; the people are lovely, engaging with genuine warmth. It's real. The food is high quality, presented with care. The cakes are delicious. The ambience is just perfect, the lunchtime rush bringing the place alive with an enthusiastic but polite hubbub! But not forgetting, and this is extremely important to me actually, they get the coffee perfectly right. This is a REALLY LOVELY place."
