Yet to actually try the food yet but it looks great! We've come here for coffee a few times and I really love the position and view. Doggy friendly. Usually able to get a table but can get busier on weekends.

Not as busy as I expected - nice food and good view. Definitely will visit again next time I am here. Carrot cake was lovely and decent coffee!

A lovely find on our weekend cycling ride to Woodbridge and surrounding areas. Usually struggling to find a cafe that's open on a Sunday morning at least not until 10am onwards. So coming across Ferry Quay Cafe was a blessing. The coffee was great, however the carrot cake was just brilliant. Great texture, just right with the sweetness and very enjoyable. Highly recommend this cafe if you are walking and or cycling in Woodbridge. Very friendly team, keep up the great service.

Fantastic location with lovely view. Brilliant vegan breakfast (the veggie one minus the egg.) Has: sourdough, mushrooms seasoned with thyme, avocado, wilted spinach and roasted tomatoes. Love that they have bottles of water to help yourself to for the table, and Stokes ketchup. Food tastes fresh and flavoursome. OH likes their oat lattes. Have been 3 or 4 times now and every time has been great.

Great location, the cafe is elevated so you can see across the house boats moored in the harbour. Good selection of food and drinks at a reasonable price. You order at the counter and it's brought to your table by very friendly staff.

I thought the cafe was really cosy, I had the carrot cake and it was the best carrot cake I’ve ever had.
