Harvest Moon Suffolk

An excellent plant based café. I would rate it 5 stars on all aspects: quality of food, service and ambience. I was also impressed by originality/creativity of offerings like the chickpea omelette: much more on offer than the usual vegan standard dishes.

A charming little discovery in Ipswich with healthy food for the tummies and mind. Plenty of seats, filled with light from outside, fast friendly service and delightful tasty treats to spoil yourself with afterwards. Plenty of gluten free options too!

Amazing vegan food, the scrambled tofu was definitely worth the drive! The cakes look incredible, which we’ve taken away to eat at the beach. Highly recommend for all vegans visiting Ipswitch. Drinks and service were also outstanding. There’s free water on the counter flavoured with slices of cucumber and apple, delicious

Always love coming here. One of my favourite spots and handle allergens very well, lots of GF options. First time trying the black bean brownie, not overly sweet which was appreciated, and the berry compote complimented it well. Delicious food, lovely coffee. The smell of incense was a little overpowering for my friend, but enjoyed our visit nonetheless.

So great to see a vegan cafe open and thriving - as they should be! The food and drink is delicious and the staff are friendly. Wish I lived closer and I would visit all the time.

Such a lovely spot! I got a latte and the pancakes, both were absolutely delicious. The whole menu is plant-based, which I really appreciate, and everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made. The space itself is beautiful too, with lots of plants and wooden furniture that give it a calm, earthy feel. The staff were so warm and welcoming. Definitely planning to come back soon!

Stopped for brunch on my way travelling through. Highly recommend. A comfy cafe, with vibes just like the song by Neil Young. Great atmosphere, other than, understandably, a little loud by the coffee machine, with decent room for indoor dining. There’s a main front floorspace with a great view of the street, and a more private back room, which was also a little quieter, including two very comfy lounge seats turned to each other with a small table, perfect for an intimate chat over some drinks. There’s also a few nice looking tables outside, along the street, which didn’t get too busy, so maybe a great spot to sit when the weather is agreeable. I had an iced oat mocha, which they thankfully and gladly made for me off-menu! It was delish and perfect on the unusually warm morning. I also had the mushroom on toast, with added tomatoes. If I’d thought to ask for it, I would’ve liked it with avocado too, for more nutrition, but it was a generous serving, and perfectly cooked and flavoured. No complaints on the food, only on my own lack of asking for avo. And was good value for money. The staff were lovely and local. When I told them I was travelling through Ipswich, and how grateful I was to find such a lovely vegan cafe, they even gave me tips on where to go for a good vegan evening meal without me needing to ask. It’s dog-friendly, too. Had a nice time meeting a couple who came in with their two very friendly dogs. There’s one bathroom, ground floor, clean and tidy, stocked with feminine hygiene products for anyone caught out. A very thoughtful touch. I even liked the attention and care the staff paid to the plants. The older lady there, while cleaning one of the tables, asked another worker if he’d have a look at helping the poor thing, because it was looking a little sad and in need of some help. That’s what you want to see: folks looking out for animals *and* the plants!

I have cycled past the attractive-looking Harvest Moon for the past six months without having - or perhaps making - the time to call in. What a mistake. It's lovely. Well today I had an hour to kill before my next train home, so the perfect opportunity presented itself. I don't know if it's the vegan vibe, but there's a real air of calm inside. It being a lovely sunny June day, all the outside tables were full, so a nice interior table by the window was where I perched. Perhaps not surprisingly, there's quite a lot of beetroot about, from an ingredient in chocolate cake (which I was assured does not actually taste of beetroot) to a beetroot and feta cheese pastie. Not being a huge fan of the purple root, I opted for the tasty pea and lettuce soup of the day, which came swirled with something akin to cream, but clearly not, with a very nice slice of crusty sourdough toast spread with something pleasant, which, I would assume, wasn't butter. All in, just £7.80. As well as outside and the tables by the front counter, there's also a back room which has a lattice wall to separate it from the kitchen. Nobody was sitting there today because, judging by the hordes leaving the train this morning, half of Ipswich had taken the train to Felixstowe for the day. Great, smiley service, friendly folk in the kitchen and free wifi. That chocolate and beetroot cake did look rather nice, as did the Bakewell cake, highly recommended by the server. I think I may just have some time to spare when I cycle past next week......
