Emmett's Café in Suffolk Coastal

Lovely old fashioned store with many different things. They smoke their own meats. Very helpful and friendly staff. Worth a visit.

The cafe is closed (I last visited just pre Christmas 2021).The produce is excellent. Some unusual produce, including the black ham, which has a distinctly sharp flavour (possibly from long smoking). Earl grey ham had no discernible tea notes but was very tasty ham. Outstanding cornichons. Good salami/cure meats. Seems to stock the world’s biggest collection of glacee fruit.Prices are very high. I like to patronise this shop as it’s local and independent. But so is Fortnum & Mason’s. The prices are comparable.

My favourite Suffolk black bacon, Valencia almond, olives, cheeses, sherry, Spanish delicacy deli… as loved by James Martin too.

Popped in for a coffee on the way home. The waitress inside, instead of saying hello, immediately demanded that we put on masks, in the entirely empty shop, also vaccinated. We had coffee and a hot chocolate in the garden. £3.40 for a Galaxy instant hot chocolate! that hadn't even been mixed and far too much for the worst instant coffee I've had from what is usually quite a nice deli, we were very disappointed.Rude service and abysmal drinks.Tapenade is very good however. I hope they try harder and it improves when they reopen the cafe.Peace and love.

Fab deli with massive selection of charcuterie, cheese, olives, wine......I could go on forever. And ever. Go and have a look. (It's not cheap. And its first quality stuff. That doesn't come cheap. If you want cheap, go to Aldi)

Popped in here whilst travelling along the A1120 to get some snacks. On opening the door the staff shouted at me to wear a mask. I chucked all of mine in the bin when the mask mandate ended over a month ago, apparently Emmett’s hasn’t got the memo. They tried to sell me one for 50p. I took my custom a few hundred yards down the road to the general store where a friendlier greeting said “face coverings or not, your choice.”

This is a great traditional produce supplier. They stock a wide range of produce. They specialise in cured meats, Olives, Almonds, Cheeses, Figs, Hobet, Jams, Wine from a variety of European countries as well as local products including highly regarded Suffolk hams. Mail order is available online for those of us who can't visit. This shop is a real gem.

A lovely shop, I especially like the wooden pig cutting boards. I went in for lunch in the cafe, really just a room on side of shop, we had delicious toasties served on the pig shaped cutting boards. Coffee was good too.

Emmett's store, cafe and courtyard is marvellous place to visit. They have been running the cafe from 1820 which is nearly 200yrs. They have some excellent ham, bacon which are sourced locally and don't use any nitrates. They also have a great selection of Cheese and Olives. The store also have artisan chocolates, savoury products and biscuits. There is a garden cafe in the backyard to sit and enjoy their freshly prepared salads along with other items on the menu. If you visiting Peasenhall, a quaint little village, it is well worth a visit.

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast of ham, egg, toast and bacon with banana chutney, and a cup of tea on their special winter offer all for £2.18. Plus, a complimentary small glass of red wine to chase the cold away on a snowy day. Can't argue with that!
