ICE CREAM, COFFEE
& CAKE BY THE SEA
The Dip Kiosk
This old fashioned beach kiosk has been trading for almost a century! So it’s only right that we serve the finest hand made farmhouse ice cream, quality artisan coffee, home made cakes, sandwiches, panini’s, milkshakes, scoopshakes & more!
All made with love on the Suffolk Coast using quality local produce… which means we’re also kinder to the planet.

Our newly refurbed Felixstowe beach hut is available for day rental.

Refurbed with reclaimed upcycled materials, the hut’s kitchenette has a kettle, prep space, sink with foot pump running water (cannister not mains!). With luxury reclining chairs and dining table and chairs for eating Al Fresco! Not to mention a comfy sofa, BBQ, and voile curtain for extra privacy.
