Brownes on Bond Street in North Norfolk

Been going to Cromer for years but not ventured this far up Bond Street before. Delicious and perfectly cooked poached eggs on toast for me and my son had the vegetarian breakfast baguette which would have fed us both it was that big! Very friendly staff. Definitely one for a return visit. Thank you.

I visited with family and two small children for brunch. The staff were very welcoming and so accommodating with the children. The food was absolutely delicious. We couldn't recommend it enough and will definitely be returning.

This is a well run, traditional cafe serving good food. I eat breakfast there weekly, and it arrives hot, well presented and with a smile from the friendly staff. The cafe itself is clean and the tables are properly dressed with table cloths. A real treasure in Cromer.

Fabulous food, wonderful staff and all locally sourced. Would give 6 stars if I could. The food was fresh and delicious and in a lovely old school cafe x

One of the best restaurants in Cromer, very good food at a great price. The owners are lovely and the menu is varied and really well presented

My family are 75% veggie. The breakfasts here offered multiple veggie options as well as traditional and modern meat and fish options. We all opted for cooked breakfasts around the £10 mark including white or granary toast. All was cooked to order and fresh. Good quality ingredients and where we asked for softly done scrambled eggs, that is exactly what we got. Massive pots of tea with extra water too! All in all a very good experience for carnivores and veggie eaters. Very friendly and attentive service. Would heartily recommend when in Cromer centre.

Whatever your requirements Brownes will meet it. Great for a snack, full meal, cakes etc. We had soup, homemade of course with chunky bread and the nice touch was salt and pepper sachets in a separate dish. Also tried their omelettes and they came with 8 different vegetables together with a huge omelette. Served on a table with linen tablecloths. Friendly staff and generous portions.

We always come here when we visit Cromer the food is first class and the staff are lovely, I noticed they have locals and they treat everyone with respect

Lovely olde worlde teashop. Real tablecloths, proper teapots, good service, and generous portions. Could not find any complaints.

Sat outside with our dogs and the staff bought them water and took our photo. Delicious fresh bread as well as salad, crisps and of course crab!

Popped in mid morning for a quick coffee, order taken quickly, coffees arrived, teacakes took a while longer and arrived toasted. Not special but OK, £11.80 2 coffee, 2 teacakes.....but it is Bond Street (without the view!)

A lovely little cafe serving a varied menu , which we discovered by following the sign near Cromer post office ! Service was great , and the food was very good . Portions are generous, and good value for money . We’d definitely return.

The food was very well prepared using quality ingredients. The portion sizes were generous and good value. The staff were friendly, professional and made us feel very welcome.

Another delightful trip to Brownes, the bacon baguette was huge and thick cut rashers. Extremely fresh bread, dabbed with brown sauce. Poached eggs cooked by James were excellent. James and the waiting staff were kind and friendly. Looking forward to our next trip, when we will be visiting Brownes again to sample their culinary delights.

Amazing home cooked, fresh food, exceptional value for money in a family run, local business with a lush courtyard area where dogs are allowed.

This is a great spot to grab some lunch. Very good choices and the staff were very helpful. We will definitely be back again

Me and my husband visited Cromer for 2 days we booked a table at browns the food we had was amazing the place was so lovely and clean and we were made to feel welcome we liked it so much we came back later to have our tea we met one of the owners a lovely lady we told her what we would like and she couldn’t have done more for us again the food was delicious we highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to eat out you will be pleased you went trust us

Brilliant cafe with lovely garden. Very friendly. Enormous veggie sausage sandwich for me (excellent) and my oppos hallumi bagel was “best I’ve ever had”.

Called whilst on holiday. We both had salads, my other half a crab salad and I had a warm goats cheese salad. Both were large portions served with new potatoes. Delicious. Staff were lovely.

Eaten here twice this week whilst on holiday, delicious meals, fancy just a snack or a dessert or cake & a drink? You will not be disappointed, all being well will visit again next time I’m on holiday in Cromer..

The food, atmosphere and service in Browne’s was AMAZING! The food was incredible, and Sarah was an absolute joy! This is a real hidden gem of Cromer and we can’t wait to come back!

Well worth seeking out, this was a nice little cafe with good service and well presented food. Didn't quite make a 5 for me since the place looks like it needs a tidy up and a bit of a lift, also whilst the sandwich was...

Traditional tea room style cafe that caters well for vegans. Great service. Vegan full breakfast is better than most.

Lots of crab choices, a must in Cromer. Lots of other choices too. Lovely service and great food. One of the places to visit in Cromer but you may need to book if large party or there at weekend.

What a lovely little find just off the main high street, but so worth it. I came to Comer knowing the crab was going to be delicious and the dressed crab salad didn’t disappoint. My partner ordered the crab savoury - a cheesy crab bake...

A most enjoyable lunch in the pretty little terrace garden, surrounded by hanging baskets and roses! The food was delicious and the service efficient and friendly.

Quite simply the best place to go for a Cromer crab lunch. It's small but cosy and staff were freindly. We will certainly visit again.

Sandwiches a great size and really delicious. Lovely side salad. Lots of choice on the menu. Nice garden at the back too.

A lovely place to have lunch. Staff very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Superb home made food. Very tasty cup of tea. A little gem. Will visit every time we’re in Cromer as just so pleasant!

We had a late lunch (approx. 1415) which possibly contributed to our disappointment having read the recent TripAdvisor reports.. At the time there were only few people eating. There seemed to be an outdoor patio at the rear. We had to wait a long time...

My first visit here and will certainly visit again. Food was really lovely , friendly service , spotlessly clean and would highly recommend as plenty of choice that caters for all.

Small and unshowy, tucked away down a side street and clearly better known to locals than to tourists, this cafe was a true discovery for us - with bumper helpings of delicious lunch fare. Great service and what seemed a genuine interest in what we...

Superb home cooked food in a lovely relaxing restaurant. Our favourite place and service is beyond excellent. The food is amazing and all freshly prepared.

Unsure why this is No1 on Trip Advisor. We were after somewhere for lunch when in Cromer so turned to TA for a recommendation. This is a small cafe on a side street which is a step above a greasy spoon which does some lovely...

After arriving at Cromer and wanting a decent lunch. We searched - as you do . on TA. So top of the listings was Brownes. Was surprised how small the business was. But they made up for it on service and hospitality.a Specials boards and...

Whilst visiting Cromer we decided on afternoon tea. I phoned the resturaunt and they kindly obliged. I chose this venue off trip advisor and it’s ratings. On arrival we were very warmly welcomed and on entering it appeared dated and to my horror not one...

Read the previous reviews, and went for lunch. Crab salad was sublime. We strongly recommend a visit!

Had a wonderful meal today at Brownes. The staff were helpful and friendly. Hope to return. Recommend the crab speciality dish

Popped into Browne’s for breakfast on two occasions whilst we were staying here. Just excellent quality, and very pleasant welcoming staff. The ‘light breakfast’ equates to a full breakfast in many other places so you can imagine what the ‘full breakfast’ is like for portions (and there is one on the menu bigger than that one). Very nicely cooked food and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for breakfast if staying in Cromer.

Visited here after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint! For lunch we had the prawn baguette and quiche with new potatoes and salad. So delicious, generous portions and very fresh. As if we weren't full enough we stayed for one of their homemade scones! We were so impressed that we returned for breakfast. We had the breakfast baguette, messy but so delicious!! Would definitely recommend here for any meal!

The restaurant was extremely clean. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The food was amazing, so fresh and easily the best lunch I have ever had! Thank you so much!
