Lovely decor and relaxed atmosphere. Had a lovely meal. Starters and main courses were really delicious. Dessert was 3 types of Brownie so a bit disappointed there wasn't more choice but all the food was delicious and will definitely be going back.

This cafe was a real find. Firstly the place had a great ambience and secondly there was plenty of space between tables. The food was top notch. I had a baked potato with baked beans and cheese and my partner a bacon and Brie panini. The latte coffee was really nice as well. The waiter was polite, helpful and efficient. I highly recommend this coffee. The place is also dog friendly.

Highly recommend this cafe for a light lunch or drinks and cake. I enjoyed a delicious coffee and walnut cake. It was moist and full of flavour. Food is made by staff at their main centre in Cromer.

The cafe supports adults with learning difficulties to gain work experience. All food and cakes are produced in house. It is well run, the staff are lovely, the food is nice and it is well priced. The last couple of times we have visited Cromer we have been to the cafe and will continue to do so in the future

I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop to support people with learning disabilities. Run with experience and really nice people. I come to visit as it is recommended by my fiancé. We went together and had some tea time together. The staff are definitely well trained. Love the lemon cake and the flap Jack's. Coffee was really good. The atmosphere was vibrant as everyone is smiling and happy. There are alot of coffee shops in Cromer but I definitely recommend this one to visit. Thumbs up to the guy running this place . It's on the other side of the church.
