Local Ingredients, Local Coffee.

Our owner and head chef Kirsty took over the cafe on Swann's Nursery back in March 2025, and has crafted a beautiful environment and delicious menu, catering to everyone's taste. She has owned and worked in many local pubs in the past, and has taken her years of experience to create the variety of cakes and dishes we have on our menu today. Kirsty's passion for food and people is what pushed her to take on the cafe, and it shines through as soon as you step inside. Kirsty and her staff welcome you in, rain or shine.

Our independent business uses Paddy & Scott's Coffee to provide you with a proper shot of espresso, while helping the people that cultivate the coffee beans. We use Paddy & Scott's Lunch Box Whole-bean coffee for our espresso, and with every bag we buy we are providing a meal for children of farmers in coffee-growing communities across the world. They provide for us, and we give back to them.  The blend is a medium roast, rich and slightly nutty with notes of dried fruit, blackcurrant and almond; making it a comforting and well-rounded drink. 

We are happy to welcome you into the cafe, we are dog friendly and are more than happy to have your dog come in to say hello with you, but if you don’t have time to stay we offer take-away coffee, cake and dishes too.

At Garden Cafe, we pride ourselves in using local produce from local businesses. Our eggs are from Havensfield Hens in Hoxne, just 40 mins away from the cafe, and all of our fruit, veg and other grown produce from W A Ward, a greengrocer in Debenham, just 30 mins away. We also use Revetts Sausages, from Wickham Market, just 10 minutes from our doorstep. Our local produce helps us provide the freshest dishes to you.
