Angel Cafe in South Norfolk

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.

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.

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! : ))

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

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!

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.

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.

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor decided to visit the Angel Cafe. It was amazing. Very warm and welcoming staff to us all including 2 small children. The children had books and games to entertain them. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and was just what the doctor ordered on this very cold a dull day. The children had a generous portion of beans on toast. My mum had a delicious piece of coffee cake. Overall a very great place to meet for breakfast and a chat. We stayed for a good amount of time and we were not rushed which was great. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Popped in for lunch to the Angel Cafe after hearing so many good reviews. We weren't disappointed. Lovely people, small but perfectly thought out menu, ideal for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Really considerate for little ones (three toddlers in toe!) with sandwich halves & babycinos the girls had a great lunch! Will definitely be popping in more, lunch and drinks were excellent quality.

Not in the centre of Diss, but definitely worth a short detour for a visit. Their menu isn't as large as some of the other cafe's in Diss, but the food that they do is lovely. I had a sausage sandwich and some chocolate cake for dessert. The service is quick for those on a deadline - we were there when all the tables were occupied and we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Eaten in here 2/3 times, great food with a good selection. There is a nice little seating area just outside, which is where we sat last time....needless to say, 6 ladies, all chatting ~ lunch lasted over a couple of hours ;o)Very friendly helpful staff.

Have drove past this lovely cafe lots of times as my daughter lives nearby so met a friend for breakfast yesterday morning. It was so lovely we ended up staying for nearly 3 hours and didn't once feel we had out stayed our welcome. We sat outside in the sunshine and had a lovely cooked breakfast with a huge pot of earl grey to share. The owner and staff are so friendly and even gave us sun cream as we sat by choice in the full sun. The breakfast was perfect, the price very good and the cafe is a little hidden treasure which I will definitely visit again very soon. Well done Jane and staff what a lovely cafe you have and you should be proud.

Really impressed with the service, and the food, we received here. As a fairly noisy family of five we often have to ask for a table, but it was a quiet time at the Angel Cafe by all accounts and we were made to feel welcome from the offset. The staff were really attentive and helpful, in particular the lady who took the time to issue us (tourists!) with a map of the area and gave us advice about shops, the market etc. You can also read about the history of the place, which I found very interesting. The food was fab, the children opted for pancakes (homemade) and the lady very kindly suggested they have one each instead of the usual portion of two to start off with; she was absolutely right and that saved us buying two and then the food being wasted. My son had a milkshake and got sone extra as the lady had made too much, which pleased him no end. There was a great selection of games for the children to play and that really helped keep them entertained while we, their harassed parents, ate our breakfast! I opted for the veggie breakfast which was amazing (they make their own vegan sausages) and my husband said the scrambled eggs in his full English were some of the best he'd ever had. It was £32 for all of us, which I would say is reasonable - we had a drink each with our meals, and the food portions were very generous. Really pleased!

We went here before travelling on to Snetterton racing circuit, and it was a great way to start the day. I booked ahead as I understand that they occasionally get groups of eight or more cyclists stopping by. Same day as a car boot sale, so I was glad that I reserved a table for the four of us. Lovely food, and service could not be better. Excellent value too. On our to do list for a return visit.

Well what can I say? Yet another brilliant experience from Jane & her crew who look after us extremely well & beyond what other cafes provide. Water on the table without asking, nibbles to taste & coffee, fridge cake & spinach pastry slice for around £5 (perfect for vegetarians!!!!). We'll be back…

My partner and I stopped in for lunch with one child. No one acknowledged us when we walked in and after a few minutes I approached a woman behind the counter who asked what I wanted. I asked what vegetarian options were available and she very blankly looked at me shrugging her shoulders. She eventually said that they had a vegetarian breakfast on offer. She was quickly interrupted by another staff member saying "no, haven't got any". I said, "ok, what are your vegetarian options please?", only to be greeted with the same vacant uninterested look. Another woman just said, "eggs". I said that I didn't eat eggs and she just shrugged her shoulders threw her arms in the air and repeated "eggs". Very rude and made no effort to suggest anything else to me. As we left, we heard them ask the people behind us if they were vegetarians and then laughed! I most certainly would not recommend. Very disappointing attitude.

Went to the Angel Cafe in Diss for breakfast. It's not the biggest of places but on a reasonable day you can sit outside which is preferable to the inside. Friendly welcoming staff. Everything we had was excellent, freshly cooked and using good quality ingredients - the latter where a lot of other establishments let themselves down. You need to remember to take cash as they don't take cards ( but they were so nice and trusting they let me return to settle up!). We've been to a few cafes locally and fair to say the Angel cafe tops the list.

The food was pretty good, the decor was 50% of the way there - too many tables squashed into a small room for my liking. The service was good, I was asked if I was happy with my food 3 times by different waitresses.. they each asked as they walked past, excessive yes, but charming none the less.. and a great deal better than not being asked at all!

We are always looking for a nice place to get good coffee and cakes, when on our regular cycle rides. While out this week we arrived at the Angel Cafe ready for a break and were delighted to find fresh coffee and delicious homemade cakes and pies, served to us by friendly staff, one of whom was the proprietor, who makes a lot of the fresh baked items. They are open from Tuesday to Sunday and are cyclist friendly, though you should ring ahead to warn them if there are a lot of you. The also have a kids menu and I'll certainly be going back with my 3 year old grandson. They will definitely be our regular stop on the next rides we do

Met friends for morning coffee where the team went way and beyond to make sure all was well.The food looked so good we stayed for a light lunch. Choosing the home made scotch egg and salad was an excellent choice, absolutely delicious Looking forward to our next visit.

This cafe is fairly small, and some of the seating is a bit hard to access, but it is comfy and cosy.Food and drink is ordered at a counter near the entrance and the eating area is separated by a doorway.The food in the refrigerated display looks fresh and appetising. I have eaten breakfast here several times. The Eggs Royale, which is like Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon are divine. The Full English is good, with great quality sausages. The coffee has a lovely flavour, and the cappuccino is frothy.Price wise it's not bad. The only real reservations I have are that it is a little claustrophobic been there are more than half a dozen others there - and I would really prefer to sit down and be waited on rather than have to stand at the counter to order.That said I still prefer this cafe to anywhere else locally.

Really lovely place. Service excellent and didn't have to wait long. Sat outside and enjoyed coffee and then had lunch there too. Had toasted cheese and tomato sandwich which was tasty.Will definitely visit again. Lovely fresh food at a reasonable price.

Thanks for looking after us today Jane.We don't often get time for lunch,it was thoroughly enjoyable.

This restaurants serves the best home made food in Diss,we had some english breakfast pancakes and bread pudding,and i need to tell you ,it has to be tried as it is to die for!

Not only is the food excellent they helped us out with the logistics for our round Norfolk Cycling trip too. Thank you to all.

A welcome break after a gruelling cycle ride. Delicious home made cakes and beverages what more needs to be said.

I ride out to Diss regularly and since Jane took over at the Angel I won't go anywhere else. The mini breakfast is perfect for a cold cyclist - not so large it slows you down. Coffee and tea are good and all the cales and tarts are made on the premises and excellent - nearly as good as my mum's and there is no higher praise! Jane and the staff are very welcoming and service is great.
