Angel Cafe in South Norfolk

Found this on Google looking for dog friendly places for lunch after a walk and it was fabulous. The sausage rolls were great, the amount of salad was generous, but the quality was exceptional. Everything was homemade and the attention to flavour was outstanding. The staff were welcoming in a way that they knew they had a great product and genuinely wanted us to share in it. Wonderfull place.

I'm a regular at The Angel. Service is impeccable, staff are friendly, hard working and amenable. Food cooked fresh with care and a diverse menu. I can not rate this place high enough.

Great welcome and smile from every member of staff. Food was perfectly cooked. Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go again.

Today we visited this lovely cafe, and we were thoroughly impressed. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was tasteful, with a choice of outside seating or cozy nooks with comfortable seating. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the food. A perfectly cooked "All Day Breakfast" they use good quality food, cooked to perfection, making every bite a delight, and served with a lovely pot of tea, just the way we like it. Overall, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a gem that deserves all the praise. If you get the chance, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won’t be disappointed

A friend and I dropped in here for lunch today for the first time. The outside of the café gives no clues to the excellent quality of food within! An extensive café breakfast and lunch menu awaits, with fresh high quality food, great presentation, and good and quick service. I love poached eggs and I’m so often disappointed – whilst it’s a relatively simple offering, these were the best poached eggs and smashed avocado on toast I’ve had anywhere, with delicious peashoot garnish to top it. To be recommended. It definitely won’t be my last visit.

What a delight! Me and my family came to The Angel Cafe to celebrate Mothers Day and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We chose the afternoon tea option which we pre booked and it was just amazing! The variety and portion size for 4 was incredible and great value for money too. The team welcomed us in and were very friendly and gave great service with a smile. We shall definitely be returning and I recommend this cozy but spacious cafe to you!

A warm welcome, Lovely staff and great breakfast. We opted from Full English which comes with toast & a drink. A fantastic plate, packed with flavour. Would recommend you dropping by

Once again thank you angel café 5🌟 My family and I had another amazing breakfast and experience at the angel café ☕️👼🏼☕️ this morning. Again All The staff were attentive polite and cheerful , the food just as delicious as before and still priced competitively and affordably. If you’re looking for a lovely friendly café with delicious food and a great atmosphere this is the place to go …! You won’t be disappointed 🌟…

Such a lovely friendly cafe. Excellent food & staff are incredibly helpful. I’ve tried breakfast, brunch & lunch over the last year. All have been tasty & served with a smile. My go to place when in Diss

Just came for a couple breakfasts with friends while we were staying in Diss. Greeted with a lovely team full of smiles and laughter. Had our orders taken as we sat down and had the loveliest breakfast in a long time. Perfectly cooked, the eggs florentine and cakes were gorgeous and so filling especially at such a good price. Lovely selection of handmade tarts and cakes too! Will definitely be coming back as soon as we can!!! Thank you so much Maria and the team at the Angel Cafe , you made our stay so much more enjoyable!!! 5 stars all round ☺️

This is more than your average cafe..! 5⭐️ across the board. On arrival we were met with a warm friendly greeting by a busy young bunch working hard as a team creating a wonderful atmosphere. The choice of food was more than satisfactory along with presentation and quality! you’d be pushed to find another cafe offering such standards. All in all after our breakfast this morning my son and I give thanks to the owner and staff at the angel cafe for a 5 ⭐️ cafe with 5⭐️service Thank you Samantha and Jack Miller

Quirky, lovely food, but just too slow. I understand waiting for the cooked to order food, that’s standard, but 30 minutes to get your coffee? Everyone looking at each other wondering if they have been forgotten. Literally everyone was muttering, but I got the impression they are oblivious? Won’t bother to go back. Options asgood with better service close by.

Waiting with a broken down vehicle in the adjacent carpark , I went in for a take out coffee and sausage bap. Very friendly service and what I ordered was excellent , fresh and piping hot . It was very busy which is always a good sign . If I found myself in Diss again , I would make sure to return .

Have visited a few times as a cyclist and on a weekend break. Good breakfast at a reasonable price. Cycle parking provided and an ample sized car park.

This cafe is a true credit to Diss and one of the best for miles. Ample parking and very proffessional friendly waitresses. Sit outside if the weathers good, or sit inside there is ample room. I would recomend this first class establ.ishent to anyone.

Sooo delicious! Haven’t been for quite a while but we had family over from the states so we had a treat. Good old full English did not disappoint, perfectly cooked and a good portion. Cafe was busy, which is a good sign. As everything is cooked from fresh it does take a little while but that’s to be expected and we just enjoyed the sunshine and watching the world go by! Love the angel, such great staff and lovely vibe, will be back soon. Another plus you can take dogs!

Mediterranean quiche with lovely varied salad. Very reasonably priced. Great service, with a smile. Excellent

Having gunned it down Low Road to arrive at Angel Cafe (Palgrave/Diss) just a few minutes before they were about to close, I wasn't sure what the welcome would be. They were amazing, "Have whatever you like and sit as long as you like, you enjoy your cup of tea" Earl Grey tea with a slice of delicious Bakewell tart that was fresh from the oven. Happy Days 👍

I visited for late lunch. It was though they didn’t want the business. No greeting just blurted out, no hot food. I Asked for a sandwich. Nope couldn’t do that either only coffee and cake. A Scone? Yes. Great. Unfortunately it arrived cold, yesterdays bake , hard and crusty butter tasted as though it was past its sell by date too . The original lady that owned Angel Cafe was brilliant. Tables fully wiped and clean. A warm welcome and appreciated the business. Excellent quality food . Current owner please note .. lack of customer service, grubby half wiped tables, stale scones. No I definitely won’t be returning ..

A bit out of the way but this friendly eatery is worth a visit. Both indoor and outdoor seating but the kitchen closes at 2 and the cafe at 3 so be aware if visiting. Nice atmosphere and quirky decor added to the enjoyment.

Had a 'Blue Burger' as a lockdown takeaway which my wife and I had been looking forward to for a number weeks. We were not disappointed. The burgers were extremely generous and very tasty. The home made Cole slaw was a great side dish. Definitely going back for more.

While helping a friend move house we stopped on 2 consecutive days for breakfast and boy, were we glad we did. Charming staff, friendly, attentive and super efficient. The food was AMAZING. Just super impressed. Quite possibly the best breakfast stop we've ever made. Once our friends are settled and receiving visitors I'll be sure to incorporate a stop at the Angel, for another epic full English.

Lovely little cafe, great food and friendly staff, and all very clean! The scotch egg was delicious as the quiche!

We recently had a socially distant supper which included The Angel's fabulous burgers. They were scrumptious. And ready on time. Fantastic value for money Thank you Angel and we are looking forward to you being open more.

Popped in for breakfast while girlfriend was wedding dress shopping. Very friendly welcome, cosy and warm. Obviously popular with locals. Had the big breakfast and couldn't fault it, everything cooked to perfection and 3 cups of tea in the pot! I know where i will be coming to eat in Diss in the future.

I normally go to the Angel Cafe as a stopping off point when I am cycling with friends but went there earlier this week with my dearly beloved for lunch. And again the service and food was excellent! They really are a nice bunch of folk who deserve to do well. Keep up the good work and keep doing what you are doing because it works!

All day breakfast tailored to you needs fabulous - freshly cooked amazing service and value for money

My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for breakfast this morning. The food was outstanding and the service was phenomenal. Such kind and friendly people. Will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu!!

I went for a lovely lunch with a friend, I tried the quiche (fresh from the oven) with goats cheese, red onion and red pesto. Delicious! It came with lots of lovely, different salads, colourful and tasty: a feast for all the senses. My friend had the all day breakfast, you simply can't go wrong with that for quality and value. As I was going in I overheard 2 workmen who were leaving saying that it was the best full English they'd ever had! Well worth a visit, the staff are friendly and attentive and it's a pretty, charming old building too with a nice atmosphere. Enjoy!

My family visited The Angel Cafe today after a long drive. They had stopped serving lunch at 2pm. We arrived at 2.30pm. Despite this, the lovely, friendly staff reopened, started all their cookers up again and ensured we had a delicious hot meal. Not a lot of establishments would have done this. Many would have turned us away. We appreciated it so much. And the food really was lovely. I recommend it highly.

Nice find of a local cafe, that was almost full at 10am in the morning. Wide selection of food - from full english breakfast, pies, sandwiches to pancakes. Unfortunatelly whole experience was spoiled by food arriving "luke-warm" and when asked staff to re-heat I had to wait almost another 10 minutes.

Lovely food and service but its really annoying that there are no menu's on the tables and you have to stand at the counter and read the menu on the wall, I ended up ordering something i didn't really want as i felt rushed, its nice to be able to sit down with a menu and take a little time to choose.

As a regular, the Scotch eggs are sublime and you absolutely have to try the pancakes with maple syrup, bacon and scrambled eggs if you can (it may sound crazy but the flavours really work)!

Es un local pequeño en una zona tranquila y de barrio. Pedí el Full Breakfast clásico inglés y además de estar bastante bueno la cantidad era generosa. Recomendable si estás por la zona y quieres evitar el clásico Wetherspoon. También tienen platos como el roast chicken o los clásicos pies para el almuerzo.

Great new owners, can’t fault the food, easy parking and tables outside for when the weather is good.

Great food, quirky layout will be going back. Went with the all day breakfast. Cooked to order, the quality of ingredients was excellent.

Haven’t been to the Angel for a long time and so glad we opted for lunch there. My scotch egg was absolutely perfect with crisp breadcrumbs and tasty sausage meat and came with an enormous salad selection and potatoes. Incredible value. The quiche and scrambled eggs also looked good. The coffee was well made and strong. Will be back for pancakes!

Checked online that they sell sausage rolls only to drive round trip of 50 miles to be told they are only stocked at weekends! Jimmy and I decided to stay anyway and were offered Scotch eggs as a suitable alternative. At £2.60 each they were tasty and good value, think they are home made. The staff here are very welcoming and overall it was worth the trip.

Had full English, mini breakfast and a couple of other breakfast dishes. A hot choc with all the trimmings and a proper teapot for refills of tea! Wonderful!

Really friendly staff. Great coffee. Sausage sandwich was delicious, huge and smothered in melting butter! Good prices too.

Amazing afternoon tea. Sandwiches, sausage rolls, four different cakes (and a bag to take some home in!) Very good value for money. Friendly staff.

I have become a regular here for a year now. The staff are great and this is the number 1 breakfast in Diss without doubt. Updated December 2018

Visited this cafe recently under new management, the staff were friendly, courteous and served the 8 of us with teas coffees & sandwiches. All piping hot and delicious. What a find! We will return

I visited this lovely cafe recently - tucked away - but what a find! I had the courgette and cheddar soup - absolutely delicious. Nice friendly staff - good luck in your new venture - am sure you will do well.

Got to be the best full English breakfast ever, even the sausages, normally the the bit that lets it down, were excellent.

I visited the Angel cafe today for the first time since the new management took over. I had one of their home-made Scotch eggs and it was absolutely delicious! The best I have ever eaten. I will return for more! : ))

An excellent independent cafe. They clearly use quality ingredients As a result can be busy at times. The eggs Benedict are definitely worth a try.

Excellent breakfast. Sausage particularly nice. Staff vey pleasant and polite. Good value. Highly recommended

First visit and it was busy, the queue was out the door, not something you see at a cafe very often but a good sign!

We love coming here. Great homemade food, excellent service and the staff always go the extra mile. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are so helpful when you have a little one with you! Highly recommend

If you want the best fry up in Diss - go here. We are regulars, and love to sit outside in the sun with our dog. Lovely scotch eggs too!

I visited Angel Cafe yesterday lunchtime with my friend who had described it as "quirky". We were able to sit inside and whilst it was snug, I thought the decor was very tasteful and it wasn't overly noisy. We both ordered the homemade quiche with salad which was DELICIOUS. The colourful salad was beautifully arranged on the plate. It was just under £8 which I felt was very reasonable. The service was great and we didn't have to wait too long for our food to arrive. I will definitely be returning!

A lovely little place to stop off at. Seating is inside or out, and there is a good choice on the menu.

A charming little café, with seating both inside and out, and a good selection of basic café food. Plenty of parking nearby.

This place was so cramped I didn't feel comfortable and wouldn't go back if I had to sit inside. The food was totally average, service patchy. On the plus side the homemade stuff looked nice and worth a try.

Lots of choice...great if you are a vegetarian. Always busy so a good idea to book ahead. Lovely outside garden surrounded by flowers with great views of the Downs...after you can walk 30 seconds and see the most amazing panoarmic views

Friendly staff, fab food.... a delight in diss!! Good choice menu on boards behind counter. Reasonably priced. Outdoor sitting area aswell

Another great breakfast, lovely local ingredients and generous portions, eggs couldn’t have been fresher or tastier. Good coffee too.Nice new umbrellas and friendly staff, what’s not to like! I’ve ticked ‘cheap eats’ but really mean quality food at low cost.

Chose here for Sunday breakfast- two of us had the full English and couldn't fault it - even though we had to wait for a seat due to its popularity

I meet up with some friends for breakfast once a week. We used to visit different restaurants and then hit upon the Angel Cafe about 2 years ago. Since then we very rarely go anywhere else. Nowhere else has been able to match the quality of food. We tend to have a cooked breakfast but it is certainly not the greasy offering provided elsewhere. Perfectly cooked and presented, friendly, attentive staff, and comfortable seating inside and out. What more could you ask for. I travel over 25 miles for my breakfast - and its worth it.

Well I don't know if two out of three people who wrote the last reviews went to somewhere else but I had an amazing breakfast, It was my first time there and I ordered a full English with poached egg and an Americano. I wasn't sure what to expect but when the coffee arrived with a beautiful crema on the top I knew I was in for a great experience. The food which, admittedly took a little while to come, was excellent. The bacon and sausages were some of the best I've tasted and the poached egg was done perfectly. I would rather wait for something cooked to order every time rather than have something that has been sitting around in an oven or bain marie for an hour. The service was very friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this café to anyone. As for the reviewer saying that they couldn't have an umbrella, you must have known this before you sat down, alternatively if it was a blistering hot day you had two other options, sit inside or come prepared with a hat. But then, someone else probably ties your shoelaces for you in the morning.

Just eaten the most delicious quiche I have ever tasted!!! It came with a lovely salad. My mum and sister in law had mushroom soup, which was also delicious!

Arrived on a hot day, there were 4 tables outside only one with an umbrella. Asked if we could have an umbrella were told they only had 2 & 1 broke. It was 12.50 in the afternoon & we ordered 2 cheese baps. We were told they had ran out of rolls, and had one granary bap left! We said one of us would have a sandwich. The drinks came with no ice, and the waitresses were miserable. We waited 40 minutes for our food although there were 5 people working behind the counter and it was not that busy! When they brought the food out, both were sandwiches, we said we had ordered the last granary bap but they said they had ran out and it was the same price anyway. Hardly satisfactory that they subsitute your food without the decency of letting you know first. The food was ok, and was good value but for a cafe to run out of baps before lunchtime, is ridiculous. They also didn’t bring out any cutlery for out salad garnish, when I went in they said it should have been brought out to us but it wasn’t. Badly managed and poor service due to extensive wait for 2 cheese sandwiches, no smile or apology for serving up the wrong food, and need to get someone on board who is capable of ensuring there is enough stock. I’ve never been to such a poorly managed cafe. Will not go back.

Had a lot better, small amount of food for the cost of full english very basic food with bland taste nothing to write home about, Only one window opens in the seating area that looks it from the 60', so you sweat like anything every customer said same wish more windows opened or had fans. Very long delay on bringing food out and it wasn't that busy. i'd give it a miss if i was you better places in diss town than this place

I visited this lovely cafe on recommendation from fellow cyclists following the Diss Cyclathon last week. How lovely that they accepted the Vouchers given to participants of the Cyclathon! Gorgeous homemade sausage roll last Sunday.

We have been visiting the Angel Cafe in Diss for sometime now and have always had delicious meals. Recently we asked Jane if she could outside cater for my grandsons first birthday. She surpassed our expectations, we knew it would be good but it was so much more. From the Quiches, salads etc to the yummy cakes everything was superb! Thanks Jane for making our little birthday party special. Brenda

I have been visiting this delightful cafe since moving near to Diss a few years ago . It’s never been a one hit wonder like many other places in the area or got carried away with itself due to its normally 5 * rating and popularity.

We were greeted very warmly and made to feel very welcome. There were lots of people coming in to purchase things to take away too. Our choices of drink and cake were delicious and we look forward to revisiting again soon!

A perfect find, staff were great and the food amazing. Even our two boys were kept quiet withe the food and games provided. A jewel in a lovely village, we were very happy with all aspects of our visit, so friendly.

We visited for a bite to eat as a break from wandering around the town. It's a little out of town but only maybe a 10 minute stroll and there is plenty of parking to the side of the cafe if you prefer to drive. There is also a good sized outside dining area if the weather is ok.

Had a fry up there today, delicious. It was my birthday and I was given a piece of cake with a candle in it, thank you very much. Great place to go, very welcoming.

Visited with a party of 13 walkers, who were catered for at very short notice The extensive menu looked very good value, and my ‘full English’ was excellent and all our party had complementary comments about their respective dishes.

4 of us popped in for Sunday brekkie. 2 has the cooked brekkie 1 being the mini Angel. Really good, well cooked and tasty.

My son, wife and I went to the Angel Cafe this morning after a lovely walk out. We have been here a few times now and sampled various delights from breakfast to cakes. Today though we settled for one of the delicious looking sausage rolls temptingly sitting on a plate in the display cabinet. Now, being a very big fan of sausage rolls I can honestly say ( we all agreed ), that these were some of the best I/we have ever eaten. The pastry was crisp and the sausage meat was well seasoned with enough bite. This sausage roll is in the top three of my top ten favourites.

Absolutely delicious Beef Chilli at this gem of a local cafe. Always good food enjoyed in an individual setting.

Wow what can I say ,was the best one I have ever and very well looked after, amazing price nothing was to much trouble we will be using again for sure

Another delicious offering from this lovely local eatery.

The breakfast and coffee here is spot on.

The building is the Old Counting House so quite historical and has easy parking on the Green.

Quick stop in here for late lunch. Delicious welsh rarebit. Generous helpings and very good value for money. Dont know why I havent been here more often!

A really good hearty breakfast which offered lots of alternative food for the children. Thoroughly enjoyable food.

Great experience at this friendly cafe. Our family all ate different things and none of us were disappointed. Pancakes and eggs benedict were really good. Children enjoyed the milkshakes and we all managed to squeeze in cake for pudding- would highly recommend (if fact I did recommend to two passers by after we had left when they asked if we knew of anywhere good to eat!) Will return to when next in Diss.

Fabulous veggie and bacon breakfast today. Coffee also good friendly staff and. Good service will def revisit

Llamado en nuestro camino a Diss, para el café de la mañana. Espacio exterior y en el interior un poco agobiante (). Servicio amable y eficiente, el café estaba muy lleno de gente pidiendo un desayuno delicioso. Agradable paseo a la ciudad (cuesta arriba! Desde el aparcamiento).

Tenía un maravilloso desayuno inglés completo en el Café recientemente. Angel Estamos haciendo un viaje por el Reino Unido y por suerte encontramos esta joya. Otros restaurantes no se correspondía con su menú, especialmente la morcilla. Sus productos se producen localmente. El personal era agradable y anfitriona Jane es un profesional. Si su paso, haga un punto de cambiar.

El Club descendió en ciclo Ingham en nuestro camino a Lowestoft. Todos nos sorprendimos de lo bueno y el servicio era agradable y atento todo el mundo cómo es. Por ejemplo, no muchos cafés que trae agua helada y filtro solar sin confirmarlos. La comida también era excelente, muy recomendable y volveremos pronto.

Good home made food served in a congenial atmosphere with friendly atmosphere - even papers to read and easy parking. Great place! - even newspapers to read, games for the kids and easy parking too.

Delicious food ! the three of us had the scotch egg salad, the humous platter which was delicious, and the big breakfast which was huge and very much enjoyed. Lovely cafe and very quick service. We sat outside looking across the park , it was really peaceful and in a lovely setting. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We will defiantly be going again soon.

The best breakfast in the area! Home cooked, exactly the way you like it, veggie and gluten free options available. Thoroughly recommended it!

Fab cafe with a friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. The food is well presented good quality cafe produce. Our party sampled a scotch egg salad and a quiche salad. Both delicious. With good coffee to follow. Set us up nicely for the Community Panto in Diss which was also excellent

The heading says it all. It was busy, hence a short wait but it was worth it! Will be back and I recommend a visit!

Waited 45 minutes for a fry up....other people served before us yet we arrived and ordered before them. The people running the place were more interested in tending the cyclists then anyone else. Won't re visit or recommended again...shame as last time we had breakfast it was great. Seems the communication between staff has failed! We eventually asked where our breakfast was only to be told they hadn't even made it yet...not good at all.

Loved my first visit. Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup were freshly cooked and scrumptious. Lovely little family run cafe! Great price, good sized portions and child friendly. Will be back again soon!

When I say faultless, I have to qualify this by saying that there is a fault in eating at The Angel, and that is that it will spoil you for going anywhere else.If you fancy breakfast, be it scrambled eggs and smoked salmon or a simple bacon sandwich to the full English, you won't find better. Equally if you fancy something with salad, it could be quiche or Welsh rarebit, jacket potato, scotch egg or whatever Jane and the brilliant staff have made that day, you won't be disappointed.It doesn't make any difference if The Angel is really busy, which it does get by those of us lucky enough to have discovered it, the standards never ever slip.I also have to rave about the coffee, again the best, and served in proper big white cups, no skinny glass mugs for the latte here.I could go on, but I shall stop now and just say please do visit.

Popped in for a late breakfast, had the full English at £7:50 including a pot of tea and toast. Good premium ingredients (especially the sausages and bacon), all well cooked and presented. Recommended!

Lovely food and coffee (decaff too!) which is cooked to order in front of you. Home from home ambience. You can sit inside or outside. There is plenty of parking. Service is not super fast but it is friendly and helpful. There's even handcream in the loo!

Stopped by and what a surprise. Too bad they do not deliver to US would never go to Starbucks again. The food - all HOME MADE. Never had Scotch EGGS before - Jane the owner gave my wife her recipe. The quiches, bakery products, and pies - WOW. The made to order breakfasts - Worth the trip to Diss - JUST TO EAT. The Angel Cafe - serves you food that comes from Angels.

Full English Breakfast or a lighter option available, served by friendly staff with a smile. Although I didn't sample it (the breakfast was plenty for the time being) the other food being served looked truly scrumptious. The breakfast I had was cooked to perfection and served with ample tea and toast. The satff were very friendly and attentive.

Lovely venue. Top quality, perfectly cooked using local ingredients and superb coffee. My friend comes 25 miles for breakfast every friday as it is the best around.

This is the little gem that keeps on giving plates of deliciousness.We chose from the excellent home cooked menu, eggs benedict scotch eggs and a super salad. Our only worry is that as the good people of Diss discover the charm of this special little cafe, it will be difficult to find a vacant table.
