Angela's Coffee Lounge in South Norfolk

Just home from a superb Afternoon Tea. The service was excellant. The staff were helpful, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. When we accidentally mistook the pickle intended for the cheese scone, as jam for the fruit one - they came up trumps with another fruit scone and pots of jam were provided. A truly lovely afternoon.

I was browsing for a ‘new’ lunch spot to go to on my own. Reading through trip advisor I came across the glowing reviews for Angela’s Coffee Lounge. When I clicked on the website I discovered it was in ‘John Doe of Diss’s furniture shop. Slightly different to where I would normally pick, but not a problem I thought, I love a little look at furniture. Arrived and the car park was busy, but space to park. I needed the toilet so first stop was the downstairs disabled toilet / baby change. Spacious, clean and not smelly! Lovely changing table for baby’s too. The coffee lounge is upstairs, but there is also a lift if you have a pushchair/ wheelchair next to the stairs. There’s little circles on the floor leading the way to the coffee lounge. There is a little ‘wait here to be seated’ sign. It looked busy, but I only waited a few minutes minutes to be seated. The menu has a good variety and is reasonably priced. I opted for a Brie, bacon and cranberry panini. My go to when out and about. It arrived, quickly and hot. The coleslaw was yummy and the crisps and dressed salad are a nice touch. It was a nice ‘bistro’ salad, with cherry tomatoes, cucumber and peppers and radish. (I would have loved there to have been some red onion instead of radish, but that’s personal preference). The other food that was being brought out to other tables also looked delicious. Once I’d finished my panini, I decided to treat myself to a slice of carrot and pecan cake. It was Devine! Light, fluffy, sweet enough buttercream but not too sweet to make your face twitch. Top marks! I also used the upstairs toilet, again clean fresh, bright and spacious. I needed the toilet before I had finished my drink, but they are just at the entrance of the coffee lounge and the waitress kindly said she’d keep an eye on my drink and table. It was consistently busy, with a steady stream of people. There’s more ‘traditional’ seating in the form of tables and chairs, or there is a soft furniture section for a more coffee ‘lounge’ feel. The staff were polite, attentive and willing to assist where required. Overall, this is a hidden gem, and very much deserves its 2nd place position in Tripadvisors ‘10 best cafes in Norfolk’!! I will be returning, and plan on bringing the family along next time.

Group of 7 people met for lunch. Service very prompt and friendly. Our main servers were Lisa and Nicola. Food was absolutely delicious, lots of compliments from everyone in the group. Massive well done to the kitchen team.

Have been visiting Angela’s since they first opened and without fail the quality of the food, the coffee and the service has been excellent. The team work very hard despite being consistently busy but this is always done with a smile and a warm welcome. Special mention to Sharon & Nicola today during a full house at lunchtime.

Lovely atmosphere and food was excellent. I had the miners benedict which was a delicious take on eggs benedict and ill certainly be back. Staff very welcoming and friendly

Nice setting, friendly staff and good food. I have arranged to book a table to re-visit the following week. I would certainly recommend.

Angela's coffee lounge is our go to in Diss The staff are super friendly and efficient . The food is excellent .The menu is varied and caters for breakfast, brunch and lunch . Prices are reasonable . Highly recommended !

Visited with my sister and we really enjoyed the Christmas afternoon tea. Food very good and a good selection. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Could not fault what we had.

As before I had a lovely lunch. Well prepared, served with a smile and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a lovely meal.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Angela’s Coffee Lounge for lunch and a coffee today. The atmosphere and decor is lovely, the staff very warm and welcoming, and the food is delicious. There’s an extensive menu with lots of vegetarian options and all the food is freshly made to order. The coffee is top notch and the homemade cakes look delicious - I will come back soon to try one. We were served by Sharon who was so friendly and helpful - thank you! Would highly recommend the mac and cheese.

Good service, good food, comfortable surroundings, tables, chairs, and sofas. Great prices with a large selection of dishes. All-day breakfasts at the weekend. It's worth a visit. Located in a nice quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of Diss centre. Free parking too.

Nice place to visit in it’s own right or after looking around John Doe of which it is part. Good menu, friendly and efficient service from the team, and a nice setting to relax.

What a surprise to find such an excellent quality restuarant/cafe tucked away in a furniture store in Diss. We had a bacon butty, which was made with a generous portion of top quality bacon, in a soft fresh tasty roll - Yum! The cooking staff require recognition for their first class attention to the food leaving this kitchen.

This cafe is wonderful. The place was spotless, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The food was amazing. Had lunch for the first time with a friend after being recommend and we weren't disappointed. The Jacket potato was steaming hot. My soup was very tasty and even came with croutons. The cakes were lovely also. Definitely will be returning

Lovely Brunch with a friend. Love this place. Friendly service, gorgeous food & coffee, smart & comfortable surroundings. Wonderful furniture shop to browse around also!

Lovely cup of coffee! Staff were really friendly even though I was there very early, and a nice biscuit on the side was a great add on!

Lovely surroundings, comfy chairs, delicious food, attentive waitresses but not intrusive. I will be back with different friends.

We stopped for coffee and snacks after walking in the nearby Frenze Beck nature reserve. The coffee was lovely and the food excellent. Angela's is a very welcome addition to this side of town.

The food was delicious and so well presented. The staff were attentive and welcoming, especially Sharon. Not your usual furniture store restaurant. A gem in Diss. And you can pick up some beautiful furniture while you’re here.

Big breakfast was delicious, make sure you are hungry because it is a big portion! great service and highly recommended.

This place has amazing staff. It is a perfect place to go with your family! Quiet Ana relaxing with amazing food. Really recommend Angela’s coffee lounge

We had a lovely breakfast at Angela’s. Our waitress Sharon was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

A little hidden gem… a wonderful cafe that offers a wide menu selection of locally sourced items.. The breakfasts are amazing.. something for everyone, from fresh waffles to full English. Superb service from the very lovely Sharon. Overall we could not have had a better experience… Great service, fabulous tasting fresh cooked food, all in a relaxed setting!! Perfect

A wonderful cafe serving great coffees and breakfast . Sharon and the other waitresses are super friendly. Thoroughly recommend for breakfast or for coffee and cake .

This is a fantastic cafe inside a furniture store on the first floor with lift access. I visited on Monday lunchtime and had a three egg omelette with cheese, bacon and ham. I received a large portion and it was very tasty. The shop is very modern and the service I received was very good. All of the other meals I saw come out were large in portion size and all of the other customers looked happy with their choices. It was quite busy but the staff had everything under control and the meals were coming out in good time. The pictures on here are very accurate of the shop and of the meals. Highly recommended.

Splendid iced coffee; the best coffee in Norfolk!! The staff, Nicola, Sharon and Jess, were very friendly and accommodating, I’ll definitely return.

Great breakfast. Cannot fault the staff who could not do enough. Making sure everything is as should be. Quick friendly service with a smile.

Sunday morning brunch with the family. Yummy breakfast and gluten free available for coeliac. Friendly service with a smile

A spur of the moment lunch that was well worth it. Great food and attentive service from Lisa and the team. Will definitely be back.

6 of us went to Angela's for Afternoon Tea and we were not disappointed. Lisa took the booking and served us on the day along with Emily and they were very attentive, friendly and accommodating of dietary requirements. All staff were lovely and the food was fantastic, we will definitely be going again.

Fantastic coffee with a great lunch. Our waitress Sharon was friendly and helpful and made our visit very pleasant. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Absolutely brilliant, Sharon served us and couldn't have been a nicer experience. Coffee was best ever and Quice was to die for. Would recommend it to all my friends and family. 5 star place

Amazing food and such lovely staff! The food is so tasty and honestly that was the best Mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. The coffee was incredible as well.

Sharon and her staff are very welcoming and efficient. The food is always excellent and lovely friendly surroundings. We come here often.

Such a great asset on my doorstep, easy to park, lovely surroundings and furnishings and the coffee and cake is fabulous when meeting up with friends and family. Wonderful service and Lisa was especially chatty, friendly and helpful which makes a big difference… can’t wait for my next visit. Xx

I have been to the cafe two times for lunch with friends. The menu has a great choice, the food was delicious and wonderfully presented too. I really liked the coffee brand. The staff are all so friendly and attentive. The cafe is set in the store, so you are surrounded by gawjus furniture and furnishings. Can’t wait to go back and have the Buddah Bowl!

I have visited many times before and it still remains to be my favourite cafe in the area. Sharon was wonderful with her customer service today as always and is forever greeting people with a smile. And the coffee is to die for!

Lovely staff, great coffee and a really good sausage bap! Nice decor too as you might expect. Thank you Sharon for looking after me.

It’s our favourite place for breakfast, lunch or just coffee and cake. The food is top quality and delicious. Best breakfasts around. Today we had lunch - mac n cheese that was totally yummy and washed down with Buck’s Fizz. Perfect! Service is excellent, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Sharon who’s always chirpy. Seats are super comfy too. There was an afternoon tea served to a table close by which looked amazing.

Great coffee shop, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere and great food, well done to all of the staff and Lisa the manager
