We were passing Hadleigh, just following the satnav, as you do. We fancied a coffee and a bite to eat, we arrived and it was fairly busy, (which in my eyes is always a good advert.) We had fancied a sweet treat, and they had a beautiful selection of caked and pastries. The coffee was perfect, the cakes were actually not heavy and were so tasty and moreish. The place was spotless and I really liked the fact that the kitchen is open, and you can see and enjoy all the sights and smells of everything being cooked and created infront of you. Decour is really modern, yet cosy...the whole vibe is just brilliant. Although we have to drive an hour and a half to get here from where we love in Norfolk, we will definitely make a point of planning a day trip around popping in for a coffee or a meal. Love it...

Lovely place! Food was delicious, coffee was wonderful. Town centre location with parking close by. Friendly, cheerful staff. Take away for sale as well as eat in. Vegetarian and gluten free options available. Would absolutely go again!

Went for breakfast, great food, and coffee, that's why we keep going back. I had yoghurt and granola, not a small portion, which makes a nice change. Highly recommend.

One of the best coffee stops in the region. We've been a few times now, as we live locally, and it is consistently excellent with enthusiastic and friendly staff. We have visited many coffee shops in Suffolk, and this is up there amongst the best. Highlights are their flat white, bacon roll and various cakes. The sandwiches and cheeses in the deli section are also fantastic. Lunch portions can be small, but everything tastes wonderful.

Thanks you for opening just as we moved locally, This Deli, food store offers the best of everything. best soups, best veg, best sausage rolls, best mince pies, best cheeses, best fresh pasta. You need to shop here. Update. They now produce their own bread. Really excellent sour dough and other types. The seeded sourdough I bought today is one of the best loaves I have tasted.
