Cafe Bar Marzano in Norwich

Lovely open space friendly efficient staff Chloe smiled and said no problem when I complicated a simple order by asking for something different.

Every time I come into Marzanos it's always welcoming. Katie, the manager, has created a lovely cafe for customers and clearly her staff who are always so lovely when serving you. Thankyou to the team at Marzanos for always being wonderful and making excellent coffee. P.s never get rid of the mint tiffin's.

What have you done?! New seating area is just awful. This is our usual Sunday coffee and croissant stop. We didn't bother today.

I don't like just the price going up

It's a nice place to sit, meet friends, people watch enjoy life. It gets very busy based on where it is so don't go in expecting a seat everytime because they do run out because of how busy it get. But the service is good. The coffee is nice the snacks are good too. RIP SYD

So normally myself and hubby stop here frequently for a coffee and relax, generally very nice staff but today on Pride days of all days, when hubby rolled over to order (he’s in a mobility scooter) I was shocked to hear that a male staff member looked at him, just loudly said nope, turned and served the person behind him ignoring him completely. A day celebrating pride and inclusion yet this interaction frustrated me to no end. He wouldn’t point out who it was because he knew I was going to have words and not to spoil the day but shame on that member of staff.

I love this place. Very relaxed in the heart of Norwich. Spacious seating area with lovely views and great coffee.

Amazing cafe with great food and drinks. Staff are friendly and helpful too!

Brilliant experience definitely come back and amazing workers especially Chloe fridd

Such a lovely, friendly and inclusive cafe. Felt so welcome and such a great atmosphere. Defiantly coming again!!

Expensive, a surly service, and nothing to recommend

The service is amazing, even when really busy, the staff being the counter are so friendly and are always on the ball. Despite the cafe being so packed, the baristas made my coffee very quickly. I do think the prices are a bit expensive compared to other places in Norwich, but I can't fault the excellent service.

Really poor quality cappuccino, the foam disappeared after one stir. The size lux smaller that I expected ( large)

Best coffee in Norwich and my son loves the chocolate box brownie.

Great coffee and the bar in the evening is just as good.

Good coffee, great location and if you sit outside and look up at St Peter Mancroft's tower, see how many letter P's you can see!

A great place to meet friends and have coffee!

The best place in Norwich for people watching! (Does that sound creepy?) Consistently really good coffee, a nice selection of soft drinks and wines. Only tried a few of their cakes and savouries as they're often sold out and possibly don't have the largest/most tempting selection compared to other places, but what they do have is decent. Also, good service with a smile.

Been coming to Marzano since it opened. Great spacious cafe, friendly staff and great food and drinks. Chloe is always especially lovely! Sam.

staff are always super helpful, had the butternut squash soup the other day and it was so tasty :) 5 stars all around, couldnt fault the service at all! see you soon :)

Excellent staff, welcoming space for families with young children.

This is a nice cafe, but we were told we aren't allowed to sit in except if we bought something(the cafe was completely empty). Next time we came, we ordered something and sat, we were told to leave even after ordering something because only one of us ordered. It's ridiculous.

Love coming here- always a nice vibe. Food is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

It’s a great location & serves nice stuff, but yesterday (Wednesday 4th October 2023) both people serving food & drink at the counter were grubby - dirty fingernails, lank, greasy hair, nose-rings in noses that seemed to be dripping. Is it too much to ask for staff to have a better standard of cleanliness? Back today, Thursday, and 4 different servers who looked as if they’d washed - so it can be done.

Great location. High quality coffee. Limted but quality menu. Particularly good breakfast options.

Lovely atmosphere for a bite to eat in a city centre location. Staff are all friendly and efficient. The lovely manager was helping her team and giving attention to the customers

Lovely drinks and a very chill, slightly queer vibe that is incredibly welcoming.

A open place to sit, always lots of people and the paninis are good and lots to choose from. Can be very busy sometimes so staff often seem quite rushed (but it can't be helped). The cakes are also quite good and the cookies are delicious. A good study place.

Lovely lady unfortunately I didn't catch her name, soft brown blonde bob and glasses but she was very helpful. First time mum and unsure where to sit when breastfeeding. Calmed my nerves having individuals like herself who brought over my food and coffee and the glass of water was much appreciated.

Best Chai latte with dairy free milk options🌱

Huge thanks to Chloe for looking after us and the disadvantaged children we had with us.

Have been here several times before. On this occasion I had a cheese scone and a mocha which was decaffeinated.

Only had drinks, but it's a lovely setting in Norwich

Nice central location. Staff friendly enough but tables not cleared and wiped and food was mediocre at best

Rude staff! Shouted at for sitting outside having bought drinks yet daughter was eating a bag of crisps purchased elsewhere. The member of staff couldn’t even come over and speak but shouted from across the seating area at us! Plenty of tables available so can’t see the harm done given we were the only ones sitting outside with 10 or more free tables on a cold Tuesday evening! Won’t return!

Great coffee with friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely coffee shop! It has such a lovely atmosphere and all of the staff are welcoming and so sweet. Highly recommend

I came here with a friend earlier and I've been here before every now and again. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, giving classic coffee shop vibes with music playing quietly in the background. I usually always get the cans of water but my friends say the coffees and drinks are pretty good :) Overall a nice place, I'll come here again 👍

Lucy and chloe make really good drinks such a lovely place, recommend 👌 ☺️ .

Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had

Great city centre location for meeting friends

Love their coffee Friendly fast service and always clean. Child friendly seating areas inside and outside if you'd like to sit in the sun outside the beautiful forum library and cathedral ✅

5 stars just on service alone absolute delight. I had the pleasure of being served by Ryan today who went over and above with service offering to bring my coffee to me and also bringing a glass of water without me even asking but I did know i was in desperate need of it after running in with baby in my arms and shopping in the other as the weather had taken a turn for the worst. Very attentive staff who really do look after there customers every time I've been served in here its been by the most caring and happy people. I only just grabbed my reciept with his name on it before rushing out again so hopefully I have the right person. So just wanted to say thank you again.

Lovely staff, always a pleasure!

As is commonplace there is little for people who have to avoid as much sugar, salt and saturated fat as possible.

Great place for pre theatre drink or coffee. Never feel uncomfortable as a lone woman here at night as opposed to some other places.

This is a great place to get some work done and watch the world go by. Highly recommended

My husband David and me had a lovely coffee and cake on sat when we visited Norwich lovely staff and very friendly .

Went for a coffee and a slice of cake, fine, no issues, good service, only thing that is really disappointing is the toilet... I think is the worst, disgusting and unhygienic place I have been, especially when the business is located in a landmark place, The Forum, really shameful. This coffee place is overrated!!!

My favourite central caffe in Norwich. Always buzzin always great positive vibes there. I stop there either with my hole family for a quick snack or on my own.

Vegan sausage roll is very nice and the iced coffee is too :-)

love coffee and cake! especially when its gluten free

awful they didn’t let me eat my mcdonald’s in there and told me i smell they are meanies

I had my first coffee at Marzano the day they opened and am still a regular. Good coffee, good food and lovely staff always. Plus a wonderful view! My very favourite place to meet friends in Norwich.

Came here earlier for first time and was great, with friendly staff, quick service and delicious hot chocolate!

Fab, as always. Great place to hang out for an hour. 🙂

The staff are very polite, friendly and helpful. The coffees are good quality and tasty, and the food was yummy and not too expensive either. Definitely come here again!

Lovely coffee! Staff always make my day with their loveliness! Thanks as always!

The best coffee I’ve had in Norwich. Amazing service and food. The staff are very welcoming. Massive thank you to Chloe who made me feel welcome and served me with a smile all the time. Lovely place to be to relax and have a good coffee

Marzano has to be one of my favourite coffee spots in Norwich. Brilliantly placed with an epic view of the city centre. Competitively priced. The food is nice but I particularly like the coffee. The staff are attentive but not overbearing, but a special shout out for Chloe who always make our visits extra special. Worth a visit if you are in town

Great coffee, great service and good prices! Cool, relaxed cafe/bar with lots of seating options. Definitely coming back!

Really nice venue great coffee and super friendly staff

Great drinks and food all served by friendly staff, can't recommend enough!

Came in and had a coffee the other day, such a lovely experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and chatty and the coffee was absolutely delicious. This place makes you feel very welcome as soon as you walk through the front door! Will definitely be returning!

Really helpful staff and good coffee

Brilliant, great drinks and good food. The staff are very friendly and helpful to.

Met a friend here for a coffee and a catch up and really impressed. One of the best oat milk latte's I've had for a while and the vegan sausage roll was amazing! Staff were very friendly and efficient too.

Been coming here since 2006, my favourite cafe. Great coffee, great food and I've always been welcomed warmly by the staff, they're amazing!

Stellar place to grab a coffee in town! Always our number one place to pop into when we're out and about, my partner and I need a spot that's perfect for us to take a break and just let the world go by. The team are always super friendly and always helpful if we need anything, never feels like anything is too much for them. Pretty much the first place I point people to if they're looking for a recommendation.

This is my favourite place to get coffee in the city! All the staff are super friendly and look genuinely happy to work here, and it has a very warm and welcoming environment. The food is delicious, and there are plenty of vegan/vegetarian options available!

Coffee shop in Forum which is in Norwich city centre Close to market And main shopping street Large coffee shop - inside and outside seating Good choice of coffees, plus cakes etc Friendly staff

We often come in to Marzanos when in the city as there is easy access for my disabilities! The staff, especially ‘little Lucy’ are always happy to help and offer to carry the tray for me. Best coffee in Norwich!! Would highly recommend.

This place was absolutely amazing, quality service and cappuccino was a perfect temperature. The staff were lovely and friendly. The restaurant was lovely to eat in and I enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic coffee, and a great selection of cakes. I was spoiled for choice, but eventually went for the chocolate brownie, which was very tasty. The service was quick and the staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. With a lovely view of the city while sitting outside it is a great spot to sit and people watch.

Been going here for years. Central location with best outside seating area anywhere in Norwich. Staff are very friendly, welcoming & efficient, they work hard too! Good selection of snacks & drinks which are reasonably priced. Great place to visit & would not go anywhere else! Well done to all of you, a GREAT team.

I've been to this Bar Marzano, lots of times over the years but my experience last week has put me off personally. The service is always good and fast and the seating area is clean. My wife ordered tea and myself a cappuccino. The tea was lovely, but my cappuccino was extremely hot and the coffee was burnt. I was going to complain but didn't have time. I shouldn't need to complain though, as a place like this should know how to make a cappuccino properly. This was the second time in 6 weeks this has happened and for the expensive price there's better places in Norwich for coffee.

Wow, just wow! I’m absolutely blown away with the kindness and care that I received. Food and coffee was delicious. There was one handsome lad who was very polite and was helping people left right and centre, a real credit to the place. I didn’t catch his name but he was a young ginger lad. I will be returning soon to try their selection of cakes which I didn’t get to try this time but they look amazing none the less.

Cafe Bar Marzano is a great place to meet up for a coffee as it’s right in the middle of town. The staff are lovely and friendly and always offers to help carry trays over. Great selection of alternative milks such as coconut, oat and soya. I highly recommend

Great coffee and a great spot to watch the world go by of a lunchtime...

Lovely place, lovely staff who were really helpful. nice place to sit and eat or have a coffee and watch the world go by

Was extremely impressed with the speed of service and how friendly the staff are especially considering it's a very busy place. Katie was particularly excellent and brought drinks over to help me and my kids out

Delicious cake and wonderful service! Always a treat to come here and look over beautiful St. Peter Mancroft too!

Lovely place to enjoy a delicious coffee with a good book! Staff are always friendly and chatty and the service is super quick!

I had a wonderful time at Cafe Bar Marzanos with my daughter. The staff were lovely and recommended a bottle of Sauvignon which was excellent. 5 stars and will definitely come again!

Had a really good caramel iced coffee made by chloe:) would recommend!

Friendly coffee shop, great staff! My children love chatting to them all and the cakes are a beautiful treat!

Had a fabulous coffee made by Katie. Sat out and people watched... perfect afternoon.

Superb coffee, served by friendly and attentive baristas.

I was recently in with my good friend, the Easter bunny. We both had a lovely time and it was very pleasant

What a lovely place. Personally I think they should cut the number of spirits and cakes

A nice bar, sells Peroni and does the job.

Nice delicious coffee and sandwiches. Friendly and helpful staff. Wheelchair accessible entrance. Lovely garden with a nice view.

Delicious coffee, wonderful service and lovely atmosphere.

Always love this place! Without fail, genuinely helpful and efficient service, great selection of food, hot and cold beverages, a bar selling alcohol and lots of seating. As a bonus, they also close quite late, so a great place to meet up with friends or just grab a cuppa xx

Very clean nice outside seating, and friendly staff.

Nice food but really didn’t enjoy my drink… nice lip stick marks on my glass, I wasn’t wearing lipstick. Pretty unhygienic and just generally grim.

Nice coffee. Comfy seats. Lots of space.

Perfect place any time. Lots of places to sit

Friendly staff bit laid back nice furniture and spacious

Friendly spacious coffee bar in central Norwich. Try this instead of the formulaic and pricey Caffe Nerd and Costa lot for sludge pretending to be Italian coffee.
