My elderly parents and I have visited this little âsanctuaryâ frequently throughout the year. We have nothing but thanks for the warm welcome, great coffee and food and for the way we are always looked after despite my Father being in a wheelchair. Thank you and roll on next yearâŠ.we will miss our visits!

Lovely setting, garden to look around and wonderful plants to buy, with a glimpse at an Anthony Gormley statute or two. Homemade cakes ,and scones. Fresh rolls made to order and fresh soup made I believe from produce grown there. Afternoon tea available- would guess need to book in advance. Service is slow as though a lot of staff , systems don't seem to be in place. A place for slow living. Limited seating in doors, up stairs, but ample seating outside. Free car park on site, disabled parking nearer to cafe.

My friend and I had a visit to the cafe after a lovely wander around the gardens. What a great selection of eats and not the usual cakes you get in most places. We had a blueberry scone which was bursting with blueberries and so light and soft. It came with a generous portion of clotted cream and butter but the best bit for me was the damson jam. Not a common jam to find but my favourite and this jam was made perfectly. I loved the fact that everything was served in recyclable materials...even the little jam and cream pots. I have read some of the reviews where people don't like it but as an avid recycler I think it's a great idea and it's only temporary anyway. The staff were really friendly and the seating is great outside. We tucked ourselves next to some hollyhocks so we could bee watch whilst eating but there are tables not near plants for those who would prefer. The seating inside is simple and comfortable as well. I'm looking forward to another visit and this time to buy a pot of jam to take home.

Always worth visiting Apple Cafe to enjoy a good coffee and indulge in a cake that's anything but ordinary. Once those senses are satisfied, another essential indulgence is one or three plants from the nursery.

Lovely cafe in the grounds of the garden centre . My rating is lower as the sausages in the bap were very dry as they had been overcooked/reheated for too long plus the service is painfully slow . The coffee is great and good quality but it would enhance the experience if it was served in a cup and saucer . Customers should take their trays to the area where the cups and plates are disposed of but often that doesnât happen. Didnât see anyone clear tables the whole time we were there. The Pear and Ginger cake was sublime ! We would go back but it needs tweaking.

Iâve visited the cafe a number of times and itâs been excellent, very enjoyable and I wonder, therefore, if thereâs been a change of management/ownership as I didnât find it quite as good as before. As other reviewers have commented, why the cardboard/disposable plates and cups? Food and drinks were always served on/in properâ crockery previously, and all the better for not having soggy plates for cakes and sandwiches etc. Itâs an eat-in cafe not a takeaway. The cakes were enjoyable. The bacon bap was tasty but would have been nicer and easier to eat had a large piece of fatty bacon rind been removed or trimmed before serving. It would

Apple Cafe is situated in a lovely place, near to the Gardens and Nursery. However, on ordering a bacon bap and a sausage bap they arrived very quickly. Too quick to have been cooked in the short time we had ordered. The bacon was so hard and texture of cardboard. Black over it which means that how it was cooked originally had not been cleaned. Cold as well. The sausage bap would have been much better if it had been cooked while we wait and not sat on a hot plate. We were quite prepared to wait 20 mins for the sausage to have been cooked. Bacon is much quicker. The sausage was of good quality.

Perfect spot, lovely building and decor, but completely let down by serving food on paper plates. We had soup and a roll, which is really not nice from a paper plate. Coffees and teas were also served in paper cups ,milk in separate paper cups , but with proper teapots, very strange. Please go back to normal crockery to match the rest of the experience of coming to West Acre Garden Centre- a uniquely pretty setting. It would also be better for the environment!

Limited fare but whatâs on offer is excellent. Home made cakes are fabulous and so is their coffee . The cafe is inside the walled garden of the garden centre with a spacious sun terrace to the front . The staff a cheerful and super friendly . I nearly didnât write this review for the simple and selfish reason that I am now a regular visitor and donât like crowds or queues so stay away ! đ nah , only] Kidding youâll love it .

Yes it's a well run cafe with excellent food offerings plus pleasant staff. BUT, please your soup albeit delicious, was served in a takeaway coffee container!? Sausage roll in a cardboard dish, which obviously had been microwaved, soggy bottom indeed. It certainly is not a cheap option for a light lunch, pre pandemic it was a joy to vist the cafe and gardens. Today's experience is off putting. 02/09/22

Beautiful location in gardens with nursery in tranquil Norfolk countryside not far from the attractions of Castle Acre. We both had a delicious sandwich, a delicious Norfolk cordial, and scrumptious cake and coffee- on a terrace in a beautiful setting. A special place ! Our dog was also made very welcome! đŸ

Really nice food here, mainly cakes and scones, tea coffee etc. They have read the Covid guidance and then used common sense to apply them. I'd rather have a proper mug than disposable cups, but at least they had bins for recycling etc. At the side of the café. Proper mugs etc would get them 5 stars. Staff very nice and the grounds are beautiful (it's a really nice garden centre mixed with walled gardens).

A generous and tasty tea. Great choice all home made, slightly slow staff but manager made up for it and delay soon forgotten. Cafe is delightful shabby chic with fresh flowers from the nursery and charming views from window. Option to sit outdoors when weather allows. No hesitation in recommending for special occasions or just a coffee. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

We stumbled across this hidden gem that is not very well advertised, on our Anniversary weekend away, on our way to the North Norfolk Coast. We were there on a Saturday morning and had the lovely outdoor seating area to ourselves. The small barn-cafe is enclosed in a garden nursery, which is enclosed in gardens themselves, which is enclosed into a walled garden of a large home. The sun was shining which really helped and as well as having our tasty coffee and cake, we were able to browse what was for sale at reasonable prices as well as wander through their borders and veg patches. So cute and we'll definitely return with various people.

Situated in the West Acre gardens, and worth the detour for coffee and home made cakes. They do breakfast and light lunches too, erring towards healthy eating and vegetarian but they also do a mean bacon roll. Outdoor area right amongst the plants. They also serve Dann's ice cream.

We stopped here on our way home on the advice of a random chap we ran in to while walking around Sandringham earlier in the week.The cafe was just amazing! As hot food had stopped being prepared at 230pm we settled for sammies and the granola which was simply amazing (I had to race the child as she had taken a liking to the compote!!).Same can be said for the coffee as the flat white was pretty damn good.On top of that the garden itself was simply amazing and the garden centre was a real money black hole Wife said she was only going to get a couple plants...nek minute we are loading a forest in to the car!! I really cannot rate the cafe highly enough. Highly recommended for the fantastic food and awesome coffee! PS. If you are an Anthony Gormley fan his house is right next door!!

We needed a couple of plants for the garden and as my husband was working from home decided to pop over to West Acre . Lovely walk around the garden on a beautiful sunny day, got the plants we wanted then sat in sunshine at Apple Cafe and had really good bacon and tomatoes on sour dough toast Yum. Obviously use good quality products it was delicious. Good cup of tea and my husband said the coffee was one of the best heâd ever had. Almost felt like we were on holiday. PerfectKaren & Mitch
