I visited Izaac's Coffee Shop today and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience with one of the staff members. When I came in to order, the employee serving me was visibly frowning the entire time and even whispered something to the manager while I was standing there, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. When I received my coffee, I didn't respond verbally, and the employee loudly said "you're welcome!!" in a sarcastic tone -- making the whole interaction unnecessarily awkward and rude. I usually don't mind if staff are having an off day, but the attitude and lack of basic courtesy really stood out. It made the visit feel unwelcoming, which is disappointing for a local coffee shop that should be a warm and friendly space. read more

Located on the Ipswich waterfront (which is in the middle of a huge regeneration), Isaac's consists of a pair of Grade I and II buildings. There is a big beer garden, expecially good for BBQ in summer, but bearing in mind the british weather there are also large parasols with heating and lighting. The food is traditional pub grub: salads, steaks, chips, pies, that sort of thing. There is nothing outstanding, but equally it is not terrible. The view, if you can sit near the quayside is excellent though. The pub is also handy for the town centre, the railway station and also if you are visiting Portman Road for the footy. Parking is a bit of a devil, but if you are lucky there are bays - alternatively driving with the docks to your right, there is a large car park. read more

I went here briefly over the weekend (14/07/12) when I went to the Docks in Ipswich for the first time. This lovely establishment is apparently very popular at night time but we went during the day so it was a lot quieter (but still with plenty of customers). We brought a coffee and a chicken and bacon sandwich which totalled around £5.00 -great prices for a prime location- and the food was fully packed (usually you get minimal chicken and low quality pieces of bacon but this didn't and pleasenty surprised me) and was brought to us briefly. The coffee tasted and looked good with great care took to the decoration of the top of the drink. Would like to go back in the evening to see how the ambience would change. Overall, lovely place for a quick snack. read more

Isaacs On the Quay - Fast Food Near Me - Ipswich, SFK

I wanted to order a damn burrito as take away )did it before with no problems) - didn't feel like staying in all the noise. The hostesses scowled at me as if I was a piece of turd. Two years of hospitality industry whining about being bankrupt - well, treat your customers better, now that we are back and you don't get government subsidies anymore . read more

Previously know as the vodka bar with an amazing location and view over the marina it is truly amazing place to enjoy the summer months (or days) with reasonable drink prices. No parking close by so think ahead about parking. read more

Isaacs has a nice and casual feel. The building has that old charm. I felt at ease hanging out, and eating some pretty nice nachos there.

Architecturally probably the most interesting place to drink in Ipswich with it's mix of old buildings and new fittings. Large outdoor area by the water is pleasant on a balmy summer night. Just avoid during peak weekend times, as this place can get uncomfortably rammed. read more

Heaving, very busy, great atmosphere

Great place on the docks. Down fall is queuing to get I'n place. Bummer

Not a bad bar, just gets really over crowded really quickly and drinks are incredibly expensive. But if you can look past all that then its a very nice view on a summers sunday afternoon read more

Great place to start your evening but gets too crowded over the weekend and I really hate the plastic Pint glasses

Always a great atmosphere, especially popular at night as the docks look lovely all lit up. Menu isn't bad but drinks have always been overpriced and not the best selection. read more

If you drink here in the daytime its a very pleasant experience. i have not been here in the evenings so cannot comment

Really lovely vibe. Nice being next to the water. Good service. Comfortable seating and always busy. Downside is that the good us a bit over priced. I've also been for a party buffet there which was hugely over prices for what they got read more
