| Welcome to Gunton's online store.We hope you enjoy your visit and find something to tickle your tastebuds!
We have been trading from our Crouch St store for 75 years, having been founded in 1936 by Herbert Gunton to roast coffee and sell groceries to the general public.
We still hand roast a range of coffees and sell general groceries but, we also have an extensive range of cheese from around Britain and the rest of Europe, many local products from East Anglia and many specialist food products that are hard to find. Please use the menus on the left to view our offering.
We also specialise in bespoke hampers for both corporate orders and the general public all year round.
To compliment this we have a large selection of baskets.

These factors combine to give an aromatic, full bodied and smooth cup of coffee. Our most popular coffee!

Valentine’s Day breakfast?
Limited Edition Tiptree Pink Grapefruit Marmalade with hand cut hearts.
Hearts and fruit: a great combination for a romantic marmalade
inspired by a young marmalade maker, Katy Mason from Cumbria.
Katy had a clever idea to make her marmalade stand out
from the other entries at a Marmalade Festival:
she added hand cut heart shaped peel to her marmalade
creating a stir amongst judges and fellow competitors.
The finished jars show a delicious pink grapefruit marmalade
with hearts suspended in the jelly.
