Cafe Oasis in Norwich

Bakers and Baristas is a fantastic café in Norwich with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is excellent, and they have a great selection of treats. I had a scone with raspberry jam and cream, which was delicious and the perfect pairing with my coffee. It’s a wonderful spot to sit back, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful break. Highly recommend!

We just had a coffee break while shopping ,no food.

Visiting Norwich and needed to stock up a bit, so this was the closest store to us. Did shopping and wanted to use the toilets before leaving, like you do. All toilets near the cafe were closed! Luckily there was a disabled toilet on the next floor down, but very surprised this was the situation, especially on a busy Saturday. The queues to the single disabled toilet were very long too.

Absolute disgrace this place 2 door man trying to start a fight as best they can with an over 40/50 year old men. Shoving 2 men to the floor and provoking and being aggressive , but only because we older and didn’t want the hassle , we walked away. Another person might end of started a fight which they obviously wanted. STAY AWAY . DISGRACEFUL PLACE. STAY AWAY.

There were two tables occupied at around 4pm, 3 lots of people waiting for drinks and 4 members of staff working behind the counter, and 1 refilling out the front. We felt like an absolute inconvenience, but hung about waiting 5 minutes to place our order. We received no acknowledgment in this time, until my partner and I shared a ‘should we just go?’ look, which prompted a staff member to say ‘ill be with you shortly’. It seemed chaotic behind the counter, no order or logic to who did what, and overheard another guy waiting for drinks say that he’d been waiting half an hour for two takeaway drinks! We waited at the counter for 10-15 mins for two toasties and two coffees. Our toasties came out quick, but drinks took forever, despite having two robust coffee machines capable of allowing two members to be simultaneously making drinks. By the time our drinks arrived our toasties were pretty cool, and one of our drinks was accidentally put in a takeaway cup. Coffee was awful. We choose costa because it’s consistent (usually) and you know what to expect. The milk was burnt and the baristas skill didn’t compare to our local costa (Broadland business park). Won’t be returning, if they can’t get it right when it’s quiet and there’s plenty of staff - when can they?!
