Art Cafe in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

New owners, very friendly & new food it was all great! I stopped off whilst out on the bike and had a great bacon butty followed by superb hot fudge cake with cream!

Stopped off here today to buy fish from the smokery and found a sign on the door of The Art Cafe saying “Closed for Good”. Only posting this to stop people making a special visit.

As with previous visits years back - nothing changes. Pleasant atmosphere, kind gentle people ... but if it was possible, even slower even though very quiet with only a few customers

I've always liked the Art Cafe for their great food and service but was disappointed at having turned up today for lunch, only to find they were closed. There was a notice on the door saying they were open 10-4. There was no explanation either. This has happened a few times in the past. Checking on their website isn't much use as it says they are open today!

Our latest visit last week, and still as lovely as ever. We had a walk from Wiveton Down to the cafe on a cold windy day, and enjoyed a very generous serving of pumpkin soup with bread and hot veggie sausage roll. Their own scones are amongst the best!

We always pop into the Art Cafe when we are in Norfolk. Their vegan quiche and salad are tremendous. Having visited today we found that the chef was nolonger there and the only hot food was soup or vegan roll. We took the pea and potato soup but was very disappointed. Even more so when we were charged £7.50 each. The soup was thick and lacking in seasoning and the bread dry and butter hard. Sorry but wont be returning.

I am rather surprised that the last review was mine, but I guess people only tend to complain on here! Had a lovely lunch, have said it all in the last review but keep up the good work, fantastic food and staff/service as usual. I think people who complain about prices don't realise cafe staff actually do need paying, like the rest of us!

We’ve enjoyed visiting Art Cafe for many years but unfortunately on our most recent visit we were disappointed to find that the price of scones has been put up to £3.50 and their size has been reduced by half. Nice enough but felt very poor value compared with other local, very nice cafes.

Lovely quirky cafe. Amazing scones and delicious coffee and other cakes. Lovely friendly young staff.

Friendly staff, great coffee, chilled atmosphere, tasty but well priced food and nice welcome for dogs!

Wouldn’t bother with the vintage shop you walk through to get to the cafe area, it feels musty and unhygienic in these Covid times.

I must say we visited the area we love around Glandford back in July and were very disappointed that the cafe was closed but more to the point, there was no information either locally or online, as we have visited many times in the past and loved it but did not know it it had even closed for good! Surely you could have kept your customers informed via the website?? However, we dropped in twice this week and both times enjoyed it loads. The Bistro style menu suits us down to the ground, a basic choice of quality home cooked food, all done to a high standard, and the staff are lovely. Coffee is delicious, soup and curries very good indeed. Not sure what other negative reviews on the coffee are all about but it is a delight as far as I am concerned. Covid precautions were absolutely spot on and realistic, unlike some in the area (Wiveton, Artemis). Welcome back and long may it continue!

This was great coffee and Carrot and walnut cake was great services from staff was so good it made you smile, free parking

Once famous for their fruit and cheese scones, so famous that they even sold the recipe to you. We went today after a walk around the area. The cheese scones were lacking in the cheesieness department, and the fruit scones were so well baked that they very nearly broke teeth.

These people big up their coffee expertise and go on about it as some do about fine wine..well, this has become a thing. But the coffee is really not great. There are many places within 5 or so mile radius whose coffee is way better...yes, and a few worse. Scones and cakes etc are good and home made. The meals are poor or indifferent and over priced. I happened to sit at a table with a view of the beams and nooks and crannies beside and slightly above. They were laced with ancient cobwebs and dirty which does not give a good impression at all. Hygiene is number one Two and three in any place serving food. The gifts at the front of the store show signs of having been picked up in charity shops etc and the prices are taking the ..... but then, you don’t have to stop and look let alone buy. If you are going for a coffee and cake beware the coffee hype and indifferent coffee...cakes are great. Tray bakes are great. So I guess you could have tea with those.

About a month ago I visited the Grey Seal cafe in Cromer and grumbled a bit about the place. So when I found myself here, a cafe run by the same company, I had some reservations. But my expectations were confounded.This is just what you want from a cafe. You are made welcome immediately. The tea, coffee and cakes are all first rate (we didn't actually try them all) and it is simply a lovely place to sit for a while. A small shop combining second hand items and some newly made goods is worth a visit. There is art for sale on the walls and some strange artefacts hanging from the ceiling – plenty to look at if the conversation drags! And when you've finished you're only yards away from an aromatic and sensibly priced smokehouse and a binoculars and outdoor clothing shop; both are worth a visit.

This is a cool little area of interesting retailers (smokehouse, coffee, binoculars, galleries plus this excellent little cafe. The perfect oasis when North Norfolk goes holiday bonkers!

It's a bit amateurish. Not in the same league as local competition at the Moorings, Back to the Garden, Artemis and Walsingham Barns but almost as expensive. Very bland curry for £13, 00. Mushroom pie with no mushrooms and very lumpy mashed potato. Service is a bit slap dash. Lovely setting but the place needs better management.

Best scones in North Norfolk. Really cheesy or laden with fruit and served with delicious jam and cream ( or is it cream and jam? )Pot of tea without a teabag in sight.Ideal start and finish point for the 3 mile circular walk around the Bayfield estate.

I visit regularly and they never disappoint, warm friendly atmosphere, the butternut squash curry is delicious!

We have been coming here for years and the standard never slips. Disappointingly there was no pie- which is usually impressive- but that did not affect our lunch. The wood burner was lit and the atmosphere was cosy and festive. A family favourite. Well worth a visit.

Had lunch here after doing park run in Sheringham and was not disappointed. We had the soup which was Pumpkin and sweet potato, it was delicious and the bread that came with it was very soft and fresh As I intolerant to cows milk they gave me some vegan butter which was very nice. I also had a vegan hot chocolate made with oat milk and it was one of the best hot chocolates I had have from a cafe. The decor is very quirky but adds to the charm. Staff where very friendly and helpful

Went here for a meal with my son and daughter after a bracing walk in Sheringham Park. Two of us were sorely disappointed by our meals and desserts, my son, however made good choices and enjoyed his food. My tart had such soggy pastry it was hard to pick up without everything collapsing on each mouthful. The filling was fine but the stray pickled onion with my salad was puzzling. My daughters coffee infused beans on toast lacked flavour and depth and didn't taste in the least of coffee, she liked the bread though. The desserts were uninspiring and bog-standard. It's a pleasant space to eat in and it must be really cosy with the woodburner going once the chilly weather sets in but I wouldn't order a meal from here again but would definitely try the breakfast.

Been coming to the art cafe for years, and it is so delicious every time! Recently had delicious beans on toast, but slightly different to your Heinz!! GO GO GO if you're ever in Glandford - they also have many, many delightful cakes

Little trinkets for sale when going in.lovely layout.warm and inviting.good coffee and cake.off the beaten track abit.stumbled on it by chance.Now we know it's there,will return as menu does look good

Have visited here on a number of occasions for coffee and cake (always excellent), but thought we’d try the veggie breakfast. Unfortunately they did not have any veggie sausages (odd for an establishment that specialises in such food), but we were offered an extra portion of one of the other ingredients. The breakfast was actually rather good, despite the fact I am an avowed bacon and sausage eater. Always excellent coffee here. The cafe is dog friendly.

The cafe provides delicious food, all with a friendly smile. It is stuffed full of eclectic and highly eccentric little knick knacks for sale which are certainly not going to appeal to everyone, but it's certainly entertaining sifting through everything on offer from feather boas to clocks, china owls and highly individual paintings and everything in between. It's delightful actually in its eccentricity and a visit is highly recommended. It's also in a perfect location to start or end a circular walk. Parking is available and free.

After a walk with the dog around the Bayfield estate we dropped in on Art cafe for coffee and scones. ..absolutely delicious. Very dog friendly and lots of vegan options,good value for the quality of food served.would stroughly recommend

Having read lots of reviews, I was disappointed with today's visit and dining experience. When the first sign you see is an advert for a chef, alarm bells begin to ring. However, the food-- a vegetable curry was very nice-- not wonderful ( courgettes and spinach mentioned on the menu were difficult to find), but well presented and tasty.

To actually reach the cafe you have to negotiate a lot of tables of

Naturally sceptical of anywhere vegetarian/vegan I reluctantly agreed to visit Art Café for lunch with my wife. To be honest it was really very good - coffee the best I have ever had anywhere and a very tasty risotto. Been back a few times with cycling chums so well done them.

We often come to the cafe and we love it here. The food is fab! And the atmosphere great. We chose to visit for my partner’s birthday lunch. But got a puncture and, without a spare, had to wait 6.5 hours for the RAC to arrive. They got there 3.5 hours after the cafe closed but Mark, the cafe owner was enormously kind, helpful and caring. He made our wait bearable and did all he could to assist. Thank you!! We’ll be back often and soon!

We have been before and today again and will go more often in future. Lovely cafe. Friendly service. Delicious cakes. Cappuccino. Art shop gallery. Nice village. Toilets even having a hoist. Amazing idea.

Had a really nice lunch here -soup and tart and great cakes - lovely cafe. Will return again. Thanks.

This was the second visit to this cafe. There were road works and so it was a bit of a pain to call again but we thought it would be worth it. My partner and I ordered a sweet potato, mushroom and coconut curry. It was horrible. The flavour was quite good but the sweet potatoes were raw. We asked that they be cooked a bit more but when they came back there was scarcely any difference. Had the curry been good the size of the portion was mean. For this we paid £13 each for a main course. The coffee we had was fairly good. The whole meal was too expensive and very poor. What a shame as we liked the gallery next door and love being in that part of Norfolk we thought it was going to be a treat but left feeling cheated.

Found this place by accident when looking for the Cley Spey - it's in a set of converted barns (Manor Farm) and q near St Margaret's church. Characterful & Interesting inside but we sat in the sun outside so didn't really take it all in. Very friendly staff. Superb tea and cakes/scones with excellent home-made jam. Closes relatively early (teatime) so probably not open for dinner.

Good variety of delicious food,home made soups and quiches,salads and dips,interesting little shop on the way in.

We were incredibly glad to find a vegetarian cafe in North Norfolk and will definitely make this a regular haunt. The food is homemade, offers excellent choice and great quality. The most difficult thing was choosing what to have on our first visit! Lunch was great and the art on sale was interesting too.

Started our walk with breakfast at Art Cafe, Glanford, (first time we've been here) great atmosphere, tasty scrambled eggs on toast, flavoursome flat white, want to visit again soon!

Great setting, with antiques and crafts. Friendly service and good coffee. Visit the bird/wildlife gallery next door - stunning paintinds by local artists.

Tucked away on a country lane, the art cafe is worth seeking out. Great locally roasted coffee, beautiful food and some wonderful arts and crafts mean you’ll always end up buying more than just coffee

We visited this for the first time, and we were not disappointed. A lovely relaxing atmosphere, dog friendly, fantastic choice of lovely tasty food. We would recommend this cafe to everyone,you will not be disappointed, we will be back again soon. Paula & Del Millard.

This is a great place with something for everyone. We have visited before but it just seems to get better. A fabulous place to spend time

I have visited the Art cafe on numerous occasions over the past years. I love the place. I’ve had meals, cooked breakfasts,cakes scones etc. I love the relaxed atmosphere, great food and lovely coffee. It’s also a place to take my kindle.

fab place, lots of interesting arty things to see and buy. lovely selection of cakes and beautiful coffee. well worth the drive out.

Popped in for much wanted coffee whilst visiting local galleries. The blend was distinctive but in a way we did not like. Very sweet and strange on the back of the tongue. Our Two black Americanos were left half drunk (I was thirsty and husband felt he ‘had paid’ but we still gave up). Be prepared for strange. Can’t comment on anything else.

The cafe is part of a very imaginative community of small businesses. One enters through a lovely little art and craft shop to the smallish cafe at the rear. The menu is entirely vegetarian with vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options. We arrived about half an hour after opening and there were already a few tables in use, and a number of dogs. We also took in a dog - not vegetarian.

This unassuming little venture has a great vibe, given all the bits and bobs of art and crafts that sit around the comfortable, welcoming cafe. Good coffee and cakes, too!

I was very pleased to find out the cafe and shop was dog friendly, we decided to sit outside in the sun and there was a water bowl for dogs. The shop Inside the cafe has some unique nice items. Food was delicious we both got the mushroom tart and it came with an amazing salad and vegetable crips, staff were very friendly and helpful. Was also a good choice of cakes and a vegan one too. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

I've been to this cafe twice now, and I absolutely love it! Excellent coffee, a wide range of teas in all flavours and types, and a brilliant breakfast! There are lots of vegetarian options, and all of the breakfasts except the waffles can be made gluten free or dairy free too. Big portions, and the food is wonderful. Lots of cakes on offer too, some of which are also gluten free!

Great vegetarian food. Service can be a bit hit and miss, but always friendly. The food is tasty, well- cooked and different ingredients go well together.

A delightfully quirky art/craft chop and cafe. Fabulous vegetarian food, excellent coffee, huge scones and cake beyond description. And they accept the dogs. Perfect!

Grey seal are supposedly renowned for great local coffee but my flat white was not very pleasant. There are far better flat whites easily found elsewhere in North Norfolk.

You enter through a gallery/vintage shop that might once have thought of itself as eclectic but has become an unfocused shambles of tat. The cafe space feels quite warm and welcoming though a bit cold on the day we visited. An entirely vegetarian menu looked good. On this occasion we just had a flat white and cake. The cake was on the edge of being dry. The flat white was possibly the worst I've ever had, harsh, bitter it left one with a dry pallatte afterwards..I've not had such a bad coffee since we visited Grey Seals Cafe in Sheringham. As it was the same roast source. I can only assume the coffee roasting is the main problem here. Far too astringent and raw. A flat white is not an expression, it should have a creamier and more rounded flavour. As it is this just showed up the failings of the coffee makers. Won't go here again.

Went there today and was very disappointed

Visited the Art cafe today, having chanced upon a free coffee tasting, advertised in the Cromer Grey Seal coffee shop, that we’d visited earlier this week. First discovered grey seal in a Snettersham bistro in Oct 2017, and loved the coffee so much we asked what it was. Have since purchased some online and we look out for the grey seal logo when out about because it’s so good. Great range of traditional and natural coffees, light and dark roasted. Fascinating to taste the differences and choose our favourites. The Grey Seal team are passionate, knowledgeable and friendly and their vegetarian Art cafe is fantastic. Best scones ever and the rest of the menu is very tempting, even for non-vegetarians! Dog-friendly too, so thumbs up from us.

This cafe has so much going for it but seems sadly lacking in management. It was actually quite painful watching 4 members of staff falling over themselves in their ineptitude on a not especially busy day. Someone needs to take charge and staff need defined jobs, for instance, only one person can make coffee at a time so why not have one person responsible for making coffees rather than having 3 people crowding round the coffee machine while queues form and customers wait 25minutes plus for 2 teas? Such a shame as this could be really good, it just needs someone capable of organising staff to give it a bit of a kick

This place is great. I visit with my family every time we’re in the area and have always enjoyed the friendly, relaxed vibe of this cafe / art gallery. The coffee is roasted on site and the espresso has the perfect balance of fruit, acidity and chocolate flavours. The vegetarian menu has choices to suit all palates and most ingredients are locally produced. I wish it stayed open later!

On our first visit the meals we wanted were unavailable and we didn’t want anything else on the the menu as it was kind of strange. The lady was apologetic and gave a voucher for a grey seal coffee. Fair enough.

Came here and was able to have breakfast with my mum. Was not overly impressed with the food. I only ate 2 spoonful of scrambled egg as it did not taste very nice at all the bread though was delicous as well as the scone I was able to take home and eat.

Currently our favourite place for coffee or tea. Not sure about any actual meals as never had them. The atmosphere, quality of coffee and excellent bakery items are served by very pleasant and attentive staff. Love that staff seem to enjoy being there!

Had lunch last Friday, sat outside. The staff were very friendly. We both ordered the quiche of the day and it was divine! It came with a good quantity of salad, the pastry was really short and crunchy - we had to save a bit to feed the local sparrows. Nice planting outside. They serve awesome local coffee (We had seconds).

Eaten here a few times, though normally coffee and cake (excellent). My only reservation is that the menu is restricted to veggie and similar. Lovely, but it would be nice frankly to see some Norfolk meat and fish as well as the pasta and similar. Nevertheless, my risotto was stunningly good. Absolutely first class if that floats your boat, but sometimes I do yearn for meat!

I ordered and paid for coffee and cake but did not expect to wait 25 minutes to actually receive them. When I chased my order I was told that they process the orders in sequence and so it's bad luck for customers who have to wait for a number of food orders to be completed ahead of their drink order. The cakes were nice and the coffee was OK but there are high street chains who, in my opinion, serve better coffee.

She-who-must-be-obeyed put it on our itinerary for a lunch venue, and I had no idea that it was a vegetarian restaurant. The cafe entrance passes through an eclectic artisan shop featuring glorious crafted items, before emerging into the rear of the barn where the cafe is situated. It has a rustic pleasing vibe and the staff are pleasant and very helpful. They welcomed our small well behaved dog and quickly took our orders. The food was delicious, I had the Ploughmans and the OH had the tart of the day. They were both creatively presented and of the highest quality, perhaps the finest Ploughmans I've ever tasted. The food was so delicious that I'd return in a heartbeat, and the next time I'd attempt the stunning looking desserts that we didn't have room for. Simply gorgeous!

This was the second visit we'd made with a party of four people for lunch. All the dishes were delicious and the coffee excellent.. I don't often take a picture of my food, but so attractive was my salad I made an exception on this occasion.

Return visit after previous experience with a delicious scone! Great welcome and quick service, the scones were nice, but my wife thought her cheese scone was less cheesy than previously

Vegetarian lunches available here. We had sweet potato, spinach and cashew curry with rice and chutney. This consisted of a large plate of curry of excellent flavour. Thoroughly recommend.

We went twice in the last week and found the service quick and friendly. The food and drinks were all delicious and it was so nice to be in a 100% vegetarian establishment.

We have visited the Art Cafe on several previous occasions and have always been very impressed at the imaginative and tasty food on offer. Unfortunately we were really disappointed on this most recent occasion. The staff were rather indifferent and unfriendly and kept us waiting at the counter for rather a long time, for no apparent reason, before taking our order. We ordered spinach, potato and mushroom curry, which was way overpriced and rather tasteless. We had been building this place up to our friends who came with us but left feeling rather deflated. Come on, Art Cafe, you have a good thing going and know you can do better than this!

We just had the most delicious lunch at this, our favourite café. The tabbouleh was packed with beautiful fresh ingredients, twas colourful and flavoursome. One of the best vegan meals I've had out anywhere. The atmosphere is great, always friendly and chatty, and our dogs welcome. It's an excellent base for fantastic walks (bluebell time right now) so good excuse for coffee and cake afterwards as well. Will be back soon!

Always visit the Art Cafe on a trip to Norfolk. I was sad to read the negative reviews as these did not bear any resemblance to my experiences at the cafe this week. Visited twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. That flat white coffee was great! Our lunches were promptly served and delicious, as were our breakfasts. The service was pleasant, friendly and helpful on both occasions. I did not find the cafe grubby but agree the menus have seen better days. I always love to look around the gallery at the front of the barn. There is an eclectic range of vintage finds and craft items, all very competitively priced. The owner is super helpful and obviously loves selecting the items for sale.

Took a visiting coffee connoisseur friend for coffee. He was unimpressed. This place was always on my go to list when friends visit but it’s lost it’s appeal. Continual turnover of staff who just seem to chat and wander aimlessly about. The cheese scone I had was hard and pretty unpleasant and the coffee is disappointing. It feels unprofessional and uncared for.

A rather grubby large barn with clothes and jewellery being sold in the front. Dreadful paintings on the walls. The great irony is that is faces a door which proclaims 'barista training'. Clearly not a service anyone in the Art Cafe has availed the use of. Milky tasteless coffee. One shot presumed to have been split between the two cups we had. Soggy cake and an un-warmed, rather hard scone. It was dirty too: The menu food stained and a general air of grime. There is nothing boho chic about this careless disdain for cleanliness. The cafes in Brighton are an exemplar of how to carry off the dark atmospheric small batch experience. The Art Cafe is a shocking parody of a coffee shop. Sad to think that people are being fooled by the exterior and situation in a picturesque spot along the road to Blakeney.

We enjoyed the visit. They were helpful over child size Hot Chocolate, which after the debacle at Cley visitors Centre was a welcome relief. The Coffee is good and we bought 2 Grey Seal bags as gifts - not cheap, but great smelling coffee. It is laid back with dogs permitted and fairly relaxed. Service is good if you get to the counter without anyone else there but if there are people there it seems to take forever. Also they were a little sharp with me over asking re the Sour Dough Bread for sale I thought - as if I should magically have known where it was and how much it was, so they need to understand that if you come in new or after a few years you are not up to date with where everything is or what it costs. Nice atmosphere however and really good for vegetarians and vegetarian breakfast and Lunch.

Just had a couple of coffees which worked out quite cheap in the end . No toilets , they are round the corner and parking a bit random and it did take a while to arrive but quite full so says a great deal in my book. The colour of the doors has changed by the way and no exactly on the beaten track so clearly cater for a niche market

This is a little bit of an unusual cafe and is very "Bean and Lentil" biased I guess with a relaxed style. From what I remember of the menu it's certainly the place to go for Vegetarian or Gluten Free.

Waited 30 minutes for one of three people to attempt to put cakes on a plate, make a cup of tea and open a bottle. Cannot believe it could take so long to get served. The cakes were even sliced, lord knows how long it would have taken if they had to actually cut them as well!

Stopped by for a decaf mocha and scone to take out. There was just one couple sat eating in the cafe.The girl behind the counter who served me was abrupt, miserable and could barely speak, let alone smile. I queried the price of the scone, as sign said all cakes £3.00, and she was asking £3.50 which seemed a lot. Anyway, I said okay, could the scone be buttered? She sulked off into the kitchen, and said to the kitchen assistant something along the lines of “God I’m so sick of people asking the price of scones”, to which he replied “Yeah, I know.” The mocha was very strong, and most certainly not decaf, the scone took some chewing. There was a sign saying Staff Required. I’m not surprised.

Always helpful staff, love the cakes and scones and a nice warm place on a winters day (as well as sitting out in the sun on a warm summers day). Love looking at all the little bits and peices for sale. Different, but good different!

Each visit to Norfolk must include a visit to here for lunch and then to the Art gallery next door

Good food, nice atmosphere and dog friendly! All enjoyed our meals and would go again. Lovely little shop to get gifts too.

We visited the Art Cafe on what appeared to be a pretty quiet Sunday afternoon. We had kept meaning to try it as we love the Grey Seal Cafe in Wells.

Family trip to this area of the UK; bitterly disappointed with the slow service (no communication between staff) and the ridiculous portions. Had a wait of over 30 minutes for three small, mildly warm and half full coffees with three cakes. Avoid

We have visited the Art Café on previous occasions, where both the food and the service have been excellent. On Saturday the food was of the usual delicious standard however, I would agree with recent reviews that the standard of service was very poor. There didn't seem to be a sense of team working, everybody working away individually doing their own thing not communicating well with either customers or each other. Our meals arrived at different times with some being finished as others started. It wasn't overly busy so it was difficult to understand why this happened. We will be back because its a lovely setting and the food is good, the coffee is brilliant but the service issues needs to be sorted and quickly!

Since im from a large vegan/vegetarian family, thorght we would try this cafe as it sounded promising for our needs...

Arrived at the cafe at 3.25pm today and after 5 mins ordered 2 teas, 1 hot choc and 2 cakes....

This is a lovely place, also lots of interesting items to look at in the little craft shop. Open every day, which is great in such an isolated spot, a nice stop for walkers.

Grey Seal coffee is roasted opposite the café, they roast some interesting and very tasty beans/ blends. The coffee is perfection for real coffee lovers, there are also a range of home made veggie food options. The breakfast looked tasty, wished we had not eaten in a café in Holt prior.

Visited for lunch today. We both had the tart. A small slice of tart was accompanied by a small salad. The portion size was more akin to a snack piece of tart with a bit of salad on the plate as decoration. Not great value. The butternut squash was served with the skin left on. I know the skin is edible, but I find it less appetising with the skin on, as does my wife. Surely it should be served without, to please all? What you do at home for yourself is up to you. Service was good.

Our second visit, and since the first last November I’ve been looking forward to returning. So cosy, a log burner, excellent hot chocolate and great service. Good food and interesting arts and crafts to buy. A really relaxing cafe.

Worth popping into the Art Cafe. The food is delicious and has great flavours, cakes are home-made and portions are generous. They serve fantastic Grey Seal Coffee here.

We love the Art Cafe and always come here when we are on holiday in North Norfolk. Grey Seal Coffee is great, fantastic selection of teas, and a good choice of veggie/vegan dishes. I had the Mediterranean vegetable tart, my son had a huge plate of avocado toast. Service is good, gift shop has some lovely craft items.

Very randomly drove past this little hive of creativity. Good food and good atmosphere. Home of grey seal coffee, and some pretty nice grub! Super food and v eclectic environment. Hearty and warming in my fave new spot North Norfolk!

very good café, interesting interior , and most importantly good food if a little expensive. well worth a visit. I had a salad and was very happy with that.

Popped over for Brunch from Peterborough to find The Art Cafe is still the best vegetarian cafe in North Norfolk with a great selection of food, including specials served with great locally roasted fresh coffee or even tea and a decent selection of dessert/cakes! A great atmosphere with friendly staff and very welcoming of (well behaved/controlled!) dogs... :)

We visited this cafe last week and were delighted to see the sign outside that said friendly dogs welcome. We sat outside with our friendly dog enjoying our coffee and cake and the sunshine. However our visit was soon to be completely ruined when a loose golden Labrador visited our table and aggressively approached our dog. This dog had no collar on and was not supervised. I was told that this dog belonged to one of the other businesses and regularly roamed around causing a nuisance. Our dog was quite distressed by the aggressive behaviour of this dog and we will not be visiting again. Please be aware if you visit with a dog.

Went with a friend for lunch and had a risotto. It was tasty and had lots of veg in it but it was rather expensive for a risotto. The coffee afterwards was also expensive and very small to boot. Ordering a cappuchino was a mistake as you only got two mouthfuls of coffee and half a cup of foam. The place was about half full but only one person seemed to be doing any work whilst others behind the counter just lounged about looking past you when you went up to order. How irritating is that? They could have cleaned the tables if they were looking for something to do as quite a few needed it.So to sum up, OK, but wouldn't rush back.

Fantastic atmosphere , food is excellent too - in particular the Kale , tomato & seaweed salad. Triple chocolate brownie is really tasty - however the spiced ginger cake eclipses it - "Wow !" - what flavour - ideal on a chilly day . Wonderful food , knowledgeable and friendly staff . Basil the dog loved it too .

Really, really great coffee - roasted on the other side of this farm yard.Coupled with Raspberry and White Chocolate cake - a perfect reward half way round a walk from the coast.And the dog likes going here as well.
