Étude Coffee at The Silo

Highlight • Cafe

Originally built in 1958 as a grain silo, and decommissioned in 2016, this imposing building now takes on a new lease of life. On the Norfolk-Suffolk border, overlooking the beautiful Waveney Valley, just outside Bungay. A tall building standing proudly boasting some of the best views in Suffolk…

Etude Coffee is now the most unique coffee shop in the Waveney Valley. Serving specialty coffees and teas and soft drinks and sweet and savory pastries and cakes provided by The Black Dog Deli. Great friendly staff in a very open yet industrial space, what's not to like.

Opening hours:

Thursday: 8am-2pm
Friday: 8am-2pm
Saturday: 9am-3pm
Sundays: 9am-3pm
