The service was good and staff very friendly. The honey carrot and thyme soup was beautiful. Will definitely return.

Had the avocado toast with a poached egg, my wife had bacon and eggs. Both well presented and tasted spot on. Good coffee too, and the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. Took away some sausage rolls for later and the were excellent.
Nice to find somewhere welcoming for dogs. Ordered jacket potato and tuna and a crab baguette (as well as two sausages for the dog). Crab was enjoyed as well as the sausages however the baked potato tasted as if it had been zapped in the...microwave. Sausage rolls etc looked really nice.More
Nice venue and dog friendly. Great coffee. Ordered bacon and scrambled egg plus egg and mushrooms on sourdough. Sadly the bacon was so burnt and crispy I had to tell the staff it was inedible. To give credit they brought me two more bits of...bacon but rather than redoing the breakfast the bacon was brought separately and by that time the egg was cold. Why send out food that is obviously burnt - have pride chef. I will give them the benefit and go back as the venue is nice.More
Hi Mark0966, Thank you for your honest review, please accept my apologies for the not so good side of it. Our kitchen team takes a lot of pride in the food we serve, but of course occasional mistakes do occur. They'll have left you with...More
A lovely bakery/cafe. We popped in at 10.30 to enquire about crab salad for lunch as we were disappointed that they’d run out earlier in the week. A pleasant lady booked us in for 13.15 and assured us a crab salad would be available. At...13.15 we turned up, table was booked and we were served with a fantastic meal, fresh salad, lovely hot new potatoes, coleslaw and dressed crab. A large plateful. We’ve been before and will be back again, please don’t change you’ve got it spot on.More
Visited while in Cromer as wanted to try the locally caught crab. Was a very friendly clean bistro, with air conditioning, certainly needed and appreciated in the hot September weather. We had 3 dishes, 2 crab and one BLT ciabatta. All 3 were served quickly...and well presented. Our specific requirements were adhered to and everything came as required. Very tasty light lunch, highly recommend. Also tried their cakes, lemon drizzle is superb as are the chocolate brownies. I opted for the scone with clotted cream and jam.. delicious. Overall a great lunch experience and one I would enjoy experiencing again the next time I'm in Cromer.More
Food was lovely btt unfortunately they did not have enough baguettes so I had to have bread which was nice but not what I wanted really. The staff were very kind and attentive though and the food was good. The atmosphere was relaxed.
Called here for lunch, service great staff really friendly. Lots of locals eating there who seemed to be regulars and knew the staff. We enjoyed our meals and thought it was a nice place to eat, lots of cakes and savouries all apparently made on...the premises. Would recomend the crab salad.More
Wonderful delicious food! Purchased a fantastic coronation quiche and marmalade bread pudding and both were absolutely fantastic! All nicely packed and served with a friendly smile. I cannot wait for a return visit as there were so many tasty sweet and savoury delights to choose...from. Can highly recommend this shop, if you want to eat like royalty because that coronation quiche was fit for a king!! The establishment should be proud of themselves!More
We popped into have a quick lunch as a family of 4, with two of us ordering toasted sandwich and 2 of us ordering the Cromer crab special, sandwich and salad. The service was great, accommodated all our needs but the food especially those related...to crab was very disappointing. My salad was great except that the crab hardly had any white meat, not even a claws worth of white meat. This was the same for the sandwich. Disappointed as we had crab at The Ship and it was far more balanced.More
Hi SStraveller1, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your visit. Though a shame to read your comments about your Cromer Crab, it is of course a natural product. We buy our Crabs fresh from a very well renowned local fishmonger...More
We've been here 3 times this year now. Lovely cafe, with friendly staff and kept very clean. Dog friendly. Lovely homemade cakes as well as lovely breakfast and hot/cold lunches. We will definitely be back again soon

Thank you Tim M. We've been developing our breakfast menu for a number of years now - offering something a little different to their standard Full English etc. I think you may have joined us at the weekend when we offer some addition menu items...More
Brownies are amazing! My friend and I visited on a cold afternoon to warm up our cockles and decided to have a little snack with a warm drink. We opted for a brownie each and oh my goodness! They did not disappoint!! Absolutely delicious and...probably the best I have had for a while.More
Great to read this, FoxtrotFoodie19! Our brownie recipe has remained the same for near enough 18 years now after it was developed by one of our kitchen team who has since gone on to work at Michelin star level restaurants! Lots of 70% Belgian Chocolate...More
Just had to write and say a big thank you to Sam and his team for a fab quiz night. It was well thought out with a two course meal included in with the Valentine themed quiz. The food was homemade and tasty, the service...was given with a smile and the rest of the ‘crowd’ in the Bistro were friendly and fun to share an evening with. We’ll definitely go again ….. Thank you allMore
Never been let down here as the coffee and food is always great. The staff always helpful and friendly and they keep the place nicely clean.
