Beautiful location, great coffee! Brilliant scones too
Really nice place to snack and drink, some lovely plants for sale too
Lovely friendly staff & lovely atmosphere. Sausage rolls are absolutely delicious as are all the lovely homemade cakes.
Very friendly and pleasant young man served us. Super service. Hubby said best carrot cake he'd ever had. Mocha was a real treat with actual flakes of chocolate on the top. Excellent prices. Proper little gem in South Norfolk countryside. We shall be back!!
Local Gem! A lovely coffee shop right on our doorstep! Lovely cakes, sausage rolls and scones to enjoy with such a wide range of tea's, coffee etc. We enjoyed Iced Coffee which was perfect. The background music was just the right level, but loud enough to be enjoyed! Good luck with the growth of this coffee shop, we will definitely be visiting again! Thank you for great service and friendly chatter.
What a lovely little gem! We had a wonderful selection of cakes and scones to choose from and excellent coffees and teas too. The surroundings made for a relaxing visit, we'll definitely be back.
Lovely morning visiting the old vineyard! Beautiful flowers
Lovely little cafe. Cosy and warm inside with lovely cakes. Dog friendly and had a little basket of charging cables you could borrow which was very useful for my bike light that had run out of battery. Will definitely be back
We came at midday on Sunday and were really lucky with the weather. The dahlias are amazing and there’s plenty of parking (which was needed as it was busy)! It’s £1 per stem to pick them and probably took us 10-15 mins to walk around taking photos of the beautiful flowers, then another 10 to pick some flowers. Buckets and clippers are provided and we got a good bouquet for about £7. Food and drink was slightly disappointing. We were told it would take 15 mins for our food to come but it was more like 20 mins. This is likely because the place has blown up on Instagram , so I would try to avoid peak times in the future or just skip food and drink as the staff were working really hard but still inundated with orders. I recommend going early if you want your selection of pastries and cakes with a shorter waiting time. The cakes were nice and the latte was tasty, but my hot chocolate was a total write-off. The cocoa percentage in my opinion was way too high as it tasted like dark chocolate. Definitely a no-go for kids!! I would have pushed for a refund or to just return it but the staff were so busy I was brushed off and just told it was definitely milk chocolate. I would have liked better customer service in that respect but understand when you’re that busy it’s not a top priority if someone doesn’t like a drink. Also be very careful coming out the overflow parking as the little thin strip of wood used as a ramp to get in there had disappeared from view and the bottom of my sister’s car made a nasty sound as it descended from the curb! Also be prepared that this is a difficult place to get to in terms of lots of country roads and turns and single lanes. My mum said she wouldn’t feel comfortable driving there. We came from Dereham so unsure if there is a more direct route. Dogs and kids are allowed so a really great day out for the family. There are also toilets on site and indoor/outdoor seating, some with umbrellas. Overall I think we will be back next year but will skip the food. Fingers crossed this will stay a hidden gem of Norfolk!
Lovely, friendly garden centre with fab coffee shop.
