Who we are

At The Crafty Fox Café Bar, we blend the sophistication of Paris with the vibrant heart of Ipswich. Located in the historic town centre, our space is more than a café bar—a calm relaxing place where flavour, ambiance and community converge.

Every detail of The Crafty Fox has been thoughtfully curated to offer an experience that feels both indulgent and welcoming. From the rich burgundy accents of our Parisian-inspired interiors to the carefully crafted menu of tartines, baguettes, crispy potatoes roasted in goose fat & dripping, large indulgent dips all cooked from scratch in our kitchen as well as our carefully crafted coffee, specialist teas, our super indulgent Hot Chocolates and our selection of viennoiseries and pattiseries. Our bar has a selection of spirits, French lager, craft beer, a variety of bottled beers, Aspall cider, fine wines, champagnes and crafted cocktails. We aim to evoke a sense of refined comfort with every visit morning, noon and evening.

We are a destination for those who value connection—whether it’s over a morning espresso, a leisurely afternoon bite, or an evening of conversation. Our walls display local artists work that’s available to purchase and we have regular live music from local Jazz bands and local artists playing their original music that reflects our deep commitment to fostering creativity and collaboration within our community.

At The Crafty Fox, we invite you to pause, savour, and escape the ordinary. This is where tradition meets innovation, where every sip and every bite tells a story, and where every guest is part of ours.
