Cafés · Norwich
Upstairs is the reason parents keep coming back — a small room with a stair gate across the door and a couple of boxes of toys, so a toddler can potter about while you actually finish a hot breakfast. Staff are patient and genuinely accommodating; one family arrived late after their little one fell asleep in the car and were offered fresh breakfasts rather than a reheat. Food is a wide spread from breakfast through to mains, with smoothies and good-quality ingredients getting particular praise, and it usually lands quickly. High chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu and free parking all help. Worth booking, especially at weekends and Sundays when a roast menu takes over from 12:30. Cakes can be thin on the ground by mid-afternoon, and the outdoor seats sit next to a busy road.
