"I frequented the library coffee house every couple weeks with my family. The first time we went we ordered food and it was a complete rip off. Never again. We just stuck with coffee after that. Over £3 for bacon sandwiches with only 2 pieces of bacon and some average bread, too much butter too. Avocado smash which we were told had chilli and lemon in it only had lemon, and the smallest bit of sourdough. The cakes were fantastic, so delicious (I think they said they employ a baker who makes them in house? but not worth the £2.95 we paid for them. Nice for an occasional treat though. Tea was £2.50 for a small pot! We were told it was premium tea but even that is too much. We learned our lesson and only popped in for a coffee from then on. It was a lovely location and I always thought the staff there were just fantastic. The young lady with the accent, Canadian I think, was always so upbeat and friendly. She always made the experience memorable. And possibly one of the only things that kept us going so often. The only one I didn 't care for was the short blonde lady, we always felt from her that we were an inconvenience and we never felt welcome with her. Luckily we were not served by her often. The coffee, as I 've said, was always really nice and another thing we loved about the place. All that to say, we went to have a coffee at the library yesterday and they were shut!! Just a small notice on the doors saying the pop up has closed. I never knew it was a pop up! I 've spoken to a few people who agreed they 'd thought it was a permanent fixture. We last went in the first week of September and there was no mention of closing or anything. Very very disappointing!! It would have been nice to know it was shut as we went out of our way to get there this time and it was a complete waste of time. We will not be bothering to go to any of the other houses because quite honestly they weren 't worth the bother overall. Very very disappointing."

Really nice. Plenty of parking and a cosy atmosphere. Although there could be more seating, its layout is good as there is space without it feeling too cramped. Good selection of drinks and food, with good and friendly service.

Been meaning to try this place for a while and I am so glad I made the trip there today! Lots of parking, really pleasant inside, lovely friendly people and delicious grub! Best sausage roll I've ever had and a lovely cappuccino. Will be back!

Had breakfast here a couple of weeks ago. Both the service and the food was spot on. I went for the Avacado toast and a coffee. It was very good. So much so, that we even stayed for a smoothie afterwards! Located just outside of Bury St. Edmund's, not really walking distance. We will be back!

My husband and I love the place but sadly when we have come in not only has the bill been very expensive but the food just isn’t very fresh. Cakes can be very dry to the point where we chucked them away.. I stopped ordering porridge because it was awful and the staff attitude can be very unpredictable. Really sad to leave this feedback

My partner and I visited on Saturday morning for breakfast. As we approached I noticed the tubs of dead flowers outside, I perhaps should have taken that as a warning and gone elsewhere. I asked for my coffe hot, it was lukewarm. 'Posh ' beans on toast had no taste to them at all. My avocado was not smashed it was cut in large chunks and not seasoned. My poached egg was snotty. No marmalade and I therefore ate the most expensive slice of ordinary sliced bread toast and jam I have ever eaten. Add to this one badly behaved dog one badly behaved child, I write this with such disappointment. I did not complain because there would have been so much to say, we just ate up put up and left. I have w...

the coffee house is a more atmospheric place to spend one or two hours! it is a large space with a beautifully curated selection of products, many of which are produced locally. I love the feeling of the friendly meeting point with a focus on the local community. the staff is very courteous and friendly! it seemed quite busy, and we were told when we ordered that there was a little waiting for eating. as a server itself, I guess it will be told immediately by everyone waiting. our meals came out earlier than we expected! the menu looked good and had many options for gluten-free or vegetarian choices. I was glad to find that they have gluten-free bread - my egg-carot sandwich was delicious. (...

"Was excited to visit for the first time after seeing the award wins for best Mexican in the local news. Looking online the menu looked good so made a booking for 17:30 on a Thursday. On arrival we were seated quickly. The ambiance in the venue is very nice, with real lit candles on each table and twinkly lights up in the beams of the ceiling. I did need to move the candle to the side however as I couldn’t see my partner past it as it was in our eye line. The candle holder is also an old tequila bottle, which is a nice touch but takes a lot of space up on the table. On opening the menu, I noticed it was sticky. Which wasn’t the nicest. As the room is relatively dark I was unable to tell if this was old food or if they’d wiped the menu’s down, but it does make you a little wary. It took a while for the waitress assigned to our section to then come around to take our order. So we ordered drinks and our food at the same time. While waiting for the food to arrive my partner who has type one diabetes was trying to access the internet to look up carb info, unfortunately we noticed that we couldn’t get any signal so asked for the Wi-Fi code. We were brought around the password from the actual Wi-Fi router which contained password but it has been badly scratched so we couldn’t get it to work. Only a small thing to note should you need access to the internet at all during your visit. When the starters arrived I had the taquitos, pork. I have a gluten allergy and stipulated this when ordering but when the starters were brought out there was no indication on the plating that it was gluten free or any second mentioning from the waiting staff. Nether the less, they looked like corn being a yellow colour so proceeded to eat them, and I have to say they were delicious and I would have happily had a new more as a main course. The calamari my partner described as “umm, good, tasty”. Not long after we finished our starters the mains were brought out. I’m my opinion there wasn’t a big enough gap between the starter and the main. As soon as one plate was cleared, the next arrived. My partner ordered the prawn burrito and described it burrito as “Far too big, Far too cheesy, the prawns lacked something. Because it was so cheesy it was quite fatty and greasy and needed something to cut through it all.” He only ate half of it and on clearing the plates away we were offered to take it home but we declined, we made a point on the large portion and the waiter said “yeah, we feed a lot of Americans here”. My dads American and he wouldn’t have eaten the whole burrito. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The steak was cooked nicely but I found it quite tough. The chicken was over cooked and a little dry. However again the portion size was huge and I was unable to eat it all. There was also not enough room on the table for all of the bits, so I had to rest the foiled wraps on my leg. Again I ordered a gluten free option but there was no mention of this when it arrived and this time the wraps were a lighter whiter colour, which caused me concern. In the end I didn’t eat the wraps because they were the same colour as the burrito wrap and as no indication they were gluten free it caused me some anxiety. Getting attention if the waiting staff to double check was difficult so I just left them to the side and ate the meat veg on their own. The couple wraps I did eat I have to say we’re not the nicest. They were quite tough and at the same time tasted undercooked, like there was some raw taste to them. I wouldn’t order it again. Drink wise I ordered the pina colada and again probably wouldn’t order it again. Though there was nothing overly wrong with it, I’ve just had better. Overall, it was just over £60 for two starters, two mains and two alcoholic drinks. I don’t think that’s particularly bad value given the absolute huge portion sizes. It might be worth Amigos offering a small medium large option at different price points so those who don’t want giant burritos fajitas can get the smaller options at a lower value. Amigos might also end up taking more as there was no chance we’d have been able to eat a desert, however if the main had been more appropriately portioned then we likely would have had one. However, in terms of the allergens. It’s great that they offer gluten free alternatives, however please introduce a GF sticker for the plates or get waiting staff to say “Gluten free Fajitas” when serving. It just helps to eliminate any fear that there may have been a mistake in the kitchen and helps diners with allergies to relax and feel more comfortable. As things stand. We wouldn’t return for what we had above. However, there was a good atmosphere in there and I’d possibly return as a place to have a few drinks and share some nachos, just not for a sit down meal."
