Camellia Cottage in North Norfolk

Excellent cafe, fantastic menu and choice of lunch options. Good location, and staff were helpful and very nice. I would fully recommend this cafe.

Nettes Café mit einer guten Speisekarte und schönen Sitzgelegenheiten abseits der Hauptstraße. Nettes Personal und ordentliche Preise.

We just stopped for a pot of tea. I can’t understand why use decent tea bags but in a pot and with cups that needed to be scrubbed or cleaned in a decent dishwasher. The tea tasted dreadful like stale tea. The outside space certainly didn’t look like the lovely website ones. Certainly will not be returning in near future.

Traditional building well decorated down to the pastel coloured crockery. We sat in the well presented courtyard at the front of the premises. The coffee and tea we had were very nice. The scone with cream was good and very good victoria sponge. The staff were also very pleasant and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Cute little tea room with a nice sun trap at the back to sit in.quick service. Lovely homemade food and drinks. Highly recommend for a tea break

I booked my parents and myself for an afternoon tea. The food arrived promptly, was delicious and reasonably priced. Absolutely delicious and the staff were very happy to package up our leftovers as do much we were full with lots leftover. Would definitely recommend

Lovely little cafe with really welcoming staff. The nicest hot chocolate I’ve tasted in a long time. Lovely caramel short bread too. Served very quickly and with a smile. Will visit again!

We stopped on a very busy morning. Luckily we found a table in the forecourt. Delicious tea and cake. Excellent sevice. Lovely crockery.

Had a cream tea. Huge pot of tea for two (had 3 cups each) and the scone was delicious with ample jam and cream. Would highly recommend.

Really impressed with the coffee ☕ here! The caramel and cinnamon lattes was made to perfection; the coffee was not too strong and there was just the right amount of syrup to taste it well without being too sweet. Really nice and hot too! Food was also very good quality, bacon and onion chutney toasted bagel 🥯 is quite unique and the bacon was delicious! My partner was also very impressed with the onion chutney sausage roll. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and the cake counter was very tempting too!

We had some cake on walk which was delightful. They were so helpful with wife. She had a little bit of a turn and they went out their way to look after us. This was a lovely outing and something that was very nice indeed thank you

Absolutely superb. Staff, drinks and food all excellent. Sat outside with our dog and had a really lovely lunch after a long walk around Sheringham Park. (chicken avo wrap and club sandwich) The food was so fresh and delicious. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Will recommend to family and friends and definitely return next time we visit Sheringham.

A warm welcome from the staff and the other diners. Lovely décor. Speedy service. Amazing almond croissants. A really nice pitstop on a long walk.

Visited a few times with my partner, a fantastic little cafe if you’re looking for coffee/ cake / breakfast / lunch. I’d highly recommend the cheese scones! Delicious everytime! Service with a smile.

Not sure why we haven't been here before - probably because there's no menu displayed outside (the one thing that could be improved). We were looking for a latish lunch and had just been turned away by the Little Theatre cafe where the kitchen closes at 2.30. So this was the nearest place and we decided to give it a try, grabbing the only free table. Full marks for serving lunch 'til 3.30, having a really interesting menu, friendly and efficient service, good coffee, lovely food, nice atmosphere and providing magazines. My sisters chicken club sandwich was huge and my bacon and brie bagel was lovely and oozy! Might try brunch next time.

Lots of coffee shops were closed the day I visited because of terrible weather, so I thought I would have to accept going to Costa instead of an independent place. But as I walked towards Costa, Camellia Cottage appeared into sight like a little pink beacon! Enjoyed a lovely orange hot chocolate and caramel shortbread to warm me up out of the rain. Great service and a lovely vibe. Thank you!

Disappointing. Can't really write much of a review as we walked in at 4.22 and were told they were closed. The time of closing is 4.30 and when we argued the point and only wanted a pot of tea and a bun, we were told we wouldn't be able to drink it in time. We even offered to sit outside. We were offered takeaway but we wanted to take the weight off our feet for just a few minutes. Another couple walked in behind us wanting similar so they also walked away. Four customers lost - and us for the rest of our stay. Moved up the road to The Gangway Cafe where the attitude was totally different.

Popped in for lunch as the destination for the North Norfolk Railway ( which is fab.). Husband had a scone and coffee and I asked for a goats cheese salad and sparkling water. We sat outside at the rear of the property. Nice shaded area. Busy and obviously popular. The scone, coffee and water arrived. We drank and he ate his scone. Then we sat.. reminded the waitress and sat… My salad eventually arrived after around half an hour but I was half a litre of water in and for £8 it was pitiful. I left it. Just don’t.

Went in on a busy Sunday lunchtime. We got a table and had a lovely ploughman's lunch. Good menu selection and good selection of drinks. Good little cafe

Various members of the family have now visited several times and everything has always been perfect. Great portions, always fresh …and avocado & eggs perfectly done (lovely sourdough bread), must come back to try the cakes …. Nice coffees too. Dog friendly outside tables too.

Stumbled across this delightful tea room in the lovely seaside town of Sheringham and the wife and I really enjoyed our sweet pancakes and I was so hungry that I also had a lovely fresh chocolate cake washed down with a tasty hot Americano. The tea room is served by lovely young ladies who work very hard and your made to feel welcomed. The kitchen is open plan so you can see the food being cooked and everything is spotlessly clean. I’m sure you get the gist of this review so I’ll leave it here by signing off with this message. Highly recommend and we will be back next time we’re visiting Sheringham.

We tried several places in Sheringham for both lunch and breakfast, and this was by far the best. Really god coffee and food, very good service, and nice and cosy atmosphere. The place to go.

We arrived to dirty tables. Admittedly they were cleaned after a few minutes. Then the menus arrived. Then we sat, and sat until one of us went inside to see if we ordered inside or they came and took the order. The waitress was friendly but not really engaged. Food was ok. Tables are small, trendy but very wobbly. All in all we left feeling uninspired. Sadly there is lots of competition in Sheringham and this place needs to up its game.

Lovely breakfasts had by us all. Pancakes were delicious and my wife said her burrito was really good too. Pretty inside and staff were welcoming.

We popped in for Brunch on a busy Saturday morning. Between us we had pancakes, breakfast burrito and avo smash with chilli jam and poached eggs. All were delicious with good sized portions, especially the fluffy pancakes. Good coffee and friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Saw this on tripvisor. Went to have a look, but it did not disappoint. Sat out the back on patio. Breakfast was delicious and the coffee very tasty. Staff were friendly. Good music was being played.

Wanted a good cup of coffee, not from one of the chains or paper cup brigade. Found this tea room on the main street. Was also tempted by their flapjack, the nicest I have had.

Nice decoration, cute little cottage but the cakes & scones are awful, are there any nice food at seaside anymore?! So disappointed

Dropped in here for a quick lunch before leaving Norfolk after a lovely few day.s What a find! The service was excellent and the food fabulous. Menu had a wide choice. I had a felafel wrap that that delicious and crammed with the best felafel,...

We were served by a very friendly waitress. The staff were lovely. A great choice on the menu. Had a lovely piece of flapjack. The coffee was perfect. Will definitely return herr.

Me and a friend booked Camellia Cottage for lunch whilst on a day out in Sheringham and we both loved it. From the outside going in looks fantastic and inside gives off such a relaxed vibe. My friend had the Falafel Wrap and I had...

We popped in for coffee..quaint tea shop with a lovely friendly ambience. We had a breakfast roll, which was beautifully prepared and presented and a really good cup of coffee.definitely recommend this for a light brunch when you visit Sheringham.

Abi and the girls have a wonderful environment where the have the best in local Norfolk food and produce. Can’t wait to come back, especially for those pancakes!! - Jane

This is one place that we hadn't been to before in Sheringham but it is now definitely one that we will be going back to again. Good food, pleasant staff, and excellent coffee. Well worth a visit.

We went to Camelia Cottage this afternoon at about 2.30 pm hoping for coffee and cake. We sat in the back garden and waited for someone to serve us as advised by the sign at the front. The place seemed to be being run by...

Fluffiest pancakes ever! This was a great find for breakfast, with great options for both vegans and meat eaters. Friendly service and delicious food. 10/10.

We called in for a light lunch on a day out in Sheringham. The service was prompt. We selected sandwiches on sour dough, one chicken and one salmon followed by a cake and tea. The food and drink is reasonably priced and tasty. Recommended.

Unfortunately the fruit scones in the cream tea contained mixed spice which had we known we would have chosen the cheese scones as they looked very nice. The couple on the next table confirmed that they are indeed very good! The latte was a little...

Ate here this lunchtime for our 2nd visit whilst visiting the area. Got a lovely table out the front. Nice young lady served us.. I had a fish finger sandwich and it was delicious! Hubby had the chicken and bacon club sandwich again 😋 Washed...

Had a very nice toasted tea cake and a pot of tea today. Nice to sit and enjoy it at an outside table in the sunshine. Safe helpful and polite.

A warm and friendly greeting, and seated immediately. All three of us commented that the portions were generous and good value for money. The whole building is fresh, light and airy, and most importantly, it is clean!! A wonderful place for a snack, and we...

Amazing service, super friendly team and really accommodating to us and a baby. They have a few gluten free things on the menu, I had the gluten free carrot cake which was amazing. Plus I’m coeliac, they were more than happy with preventing cross contamination...

Lovely little courtyard to the rear - and also seating at the front, so plenty of options. Great coffee, good scones. The food we saw on offer delivered to other tables looked good! And the cakes on the counter were very tempting....

Excellent and attractive little spot. Lovely fresh lunch & the staff were very efficient and helpful

We have visited here twice in March, first time we had lunch and it was delicious food, the second time we visited with friends and had coffee outside. The building is very old but has been done to a lovely standard inside with seating on...

My family of 3 and a dog enjoyed a coffee, bakewell and chocolate brownie on a windy afternoon. The service was excellent, we were deliberating on whether to sit outside or to sit in while looking at the menu and a waitress came out to...

We had sausage caramelized roll & a cheese scone with relish tea & a beautiful biscoff milkshake. Service very good we will definitely come again when in area.

Called in earlier today for lunch, absolutely superb food, freshly prepared, with great friendly and efficient service all in a very clean and welcoming environment. This was our first visit to Camelia Cottage, I am sure it wont be our last.

After the return train journey from Holt to Sheringhsm, we called in for a light bit mid afternoon. From an extensive menu we both chose a club sandwich, produced on sourdough which was crusty and fresh. Service as welcoming and friendly and we really enjoyed...

Nice interior and friendly staff but can’t justify just over £4 for a basic iced coffee, for a small cafe in Sheringham.

Enjoyed the food here, had a sandwich that had plenty of filling. Only disappointment was very slow service, took around 20 mins to receive a couple of cold drinks, no apologies for the wait. I thought they had forgotten about us as could see the...

Visiting Camellia Cottage again today (we called in yesterday too, as it is one of our favourite places in Sheringham), we were not surprised to see a queue for tables and happily joined it as we knew they were worth waiting for. We wanted a...

Spoilt for choice with the menu, very creative. The food was excellent and the staff quite delightful. A real pleasure to visit.

Staff very good, and well organised. Lovely food of good quality. Recommended. Managed to get a walk in place. Covid safe.

A delightful cafe with a simple menu of good food with outstanding service and all this in lovely surroundings. Strongly recommended!

Called in for coffee and cake. Great service from friendly staff and made very welcome. Highly recommend!

Visited three times on a recent holiday to Sheringham. First for coffee and scone with my mum, second for drinks and cakes with husband and kids and thirdly for lunch with husband. Each visit was lovely! Staff very attentive, food and drinks of good quality...

Somewhat disappointed £6 for a bacon sandwich on Dry bread, no knife, no napkins, slow service. A real shame and I hope you change your ways, an extra slice on bacon and fresh bread would make a huge difference.I watched two people walk away and you was really not that busy.

Had hot chocolate, latte and fruit scone one day and scrabbled eggs for breakfast this morning. Lovely friendly staff and great food.

It don't get much better than sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying a lovely latte at camellia Cottage and watch the world go by. Will return one day to have a scone as they looked lovely.

Looking for a place to eat in Sherringham that wasn't a greasy spoon when we came across this cafe. Reasonably priced, tasty sandwiches with a good range of vegan, vegetarian and neat dishes. I had my sandwich on the granary bread and it was enormous! Nice to sit out in the little courtyard at the front too.

Visited twice during our stay nearby. You have to wait to be seated, but not a long wait. Great variety of cakes and snacks. Cosy friendly little place.

Enjoyed it. It's not a huge venue, a little set back from the road to the seafront. Decent coffee. Some outside seating.

We found this super little place whilst staying in Sheringham.The food is fantastic and lovely "tea pigs" tea along with all the friendly staff..We visited several times during our stay and each time was brilliant.Will definitely return again when we are back visiting and would highly recommend, lovely.

Friendly low key lunch. All food was fresh and tasty. Particularly recommend the fresh crab sandwich. Really delicious. Good quality tea from tea pigs. Fruit scones with clotted cream to take away or eat on site

Always a happy courteous welcome here.We enjoyed a cheese cream tea. Well presented and tasty.Lots of lovely cakes and a good menu at a reasonable price.There are new tables,seats and a huge umbrella in the garden which will be easy to sanitise etc.We recommend a visit,

Very good food, and efficient friendly service. Lacks a bit of atmosphere outside - needs some big plants in pots or something. But don't miss out on that account, it's really a good place for cakes, snacks and light bites.

A really cute looking cottage tea rooms, with very nice staff, but my friend and I agreed that the coffee was absolutely awful. Really bitter and unpleasant. He drank most of his, as he was thirsty, but I couldn't drink mine at all - left it, total waste of money.

Enjoyed lunch here during a recent family holiday. Sat outside, host very welcoming and helpful. I had cheese and spiced pickle sandwich on granary bread which was lovely but everyone else's choices seemed good too. Made a nice change from pub food.

Had lunch here. Good paninis and lovely coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

Covid safe dining, with patio seating areas at front and back of building. Very friendly and efficient staff, with food and drinks being served quickly after placing our order.A good and varied menu choice to suit all tastes, i recommend the club sandwich on sour dough toast.Will definitely visit again when in Sherringham next

Four of us popped in for coffee and it was well organised during current restrictions, the coffee was ok, but have had better, no frills, would have expected a small biscuit on the side in this type of establishment.

We have been coming to Camellia Cottage since it opened, with regret only once a year during our annual holiday.Covid restrictions dealt with very well on a one way system.The staff are so helpful and courteous.The garden is a great place to sit and is definitely a sun trap.The food is fresh,well presented and served with a smile. We can’t wait to come back.Thank you.

Staff are young pleasant and efficient. Quick service and my snack was very filling. Space is limited and stay at ground level as stairs very steep, unfortunately the 'loo' is on first floor.. In past years we have snacked outside which is very acceptable.

We stopped here and had a cold drink and the most amazing home made rocky road cake we were made to feel very welcome with our little dog. It’s a fabulous little cottage.

A lovely welcome, well distanced tables and chairs, fast personal service and great cake! The waitresses all wore masks, and track and trace info was taken quickly and with the minimum of fuss. The waitress knew exactly what was on offer and reeled off the list - she even offered to take a photo of all the cakes so I could see everything without having to go inside. She knew to offer vegan options to my partner who is lactose intolerant, so he got to eat as well!Thank you so much for not making us feel awkward about the limitations. It's the first time I've been out of my house for 6 months and I still have to shield. We'd just had a really bad experience at another place and I'd almost lost my nerve with venturing out for the first time.

Called in for drinks and cakes..food and drinks were excellent and arrived very quickly. Sat in the courtyard the sun was beating down,nice place to visit.

We're fairly new to this place but not to Sheringham. We can't believe we've walked past in hundreds of times and eventually tried it after seeing the comments from other reviewers. Two things make this place stand out from the rest in Sheringham... 1. They are always keen to help & 2. Lovely food. We arrive here at eratic times as we like to walk the beach and are often driven by the low tide times. Usually in walking gear and sometimes normall gear. The guys have been happy to serve up a stunning vegan falafel wrap, (the chutney makes it I think), for us outside of the standard lunch hours. This means so much to us as vegan food is hard to find, (I've commented before that it was that or a bar from Holland & Barret). Good food of any kind in fact is hard to find in Sheringham unless you adore chips. It always feels cheeky to ask but they could say no and thankfully haven't yet. Small things like this always make a difference these days. We'll be back time and time again. We look at the food other people eat too and it all looks great. Everything from salads and sandwiches to afternoon tea. You'd love it.Thanks for helping us out on numerous ocasions guys :-)

I visited camelia cottage this morning with my sisters for breakfast/brunch and we had a lovely time. They had appropriate precautions in place for social distancing and we felt very safe with the staff all wearing face masks. The food was so lovely, very well presented and to a high standard and the interior of the cafe is so nice which makes for a great experience!

We arrived just as breakfast was ending but lunch not quite started. You are requested to go inside to order and we asked for a light lunch but was told...we are still serving breakfast, this was despite being told that breakfast was ending. The lunch was OK but nothing special - had milkshake but it was very runny and not what we expected. The overall look of the place was nice and the table service excellent we just felt the food let them down a little.

A lovely spot an absolute asset to the town. Delicious homemade cakes, fresh lunches and a vast selection of drinks. Service is excellent and all the staff are fully attentive, friendly and will do anything to offer the best service! Covid secure 100 percent, with an excellent procedure in place- well done for arranging during what is a difficult and uncertain time. Overall, a really wonderful spot for family and friends - will always recceomond to others.

We visited based on reviews. We travelled to Sheringham on the North Norfolk railway and as we'd be arriving about midday I phoned to book a table. I'm glad we did as it is very popular. The tea room is located down towards the sea front, look out for the town clock.Covid measures were very good, queuing system, hand sanitiser station and frequent cleaning evident.There are only a few tables inside, most seating is out the front and in the rear garden.All the staff were very friendly. The food was very nice, I would recommend the home made sausage role with onion chutney (pic attached). The hot choc was also very nice.Would def recommend visiting!

We stopped here following recommendations, and were not disappointed. The COVID precautions were excellent with the staff being very friendly. The coffee was excellent and the cheese scones delicious. It is also dog friendly. Overall a lovely coffee shop and well worth a visit.

Nice little tearooms Cakes wonderful, & service very good, Clean & welcoming, Nice outside seating away from busy road, Will be visiting this tearooms again Highly recommended,

V. Covid aware, great food, service and cakes! Had lunch with the family and ate a selection of panini's, sandwiches and wraps plus a selection of cakes. Absolutely lovely food and service, definitely recommended!

Cream tea delicious, busy friendly staff, busy little spot this, water for the dog, all safe and sound- recommended.

Speed this is a beautiful typical little English garden Team and scones were delightful Lovely staff and gardens Location is great in the heart of Sheringham town centre

Friendly cafe,delicious lunch. Tom was a great host and the overall service and food was excellent. Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast. Very friendly and attentive staff. Good one way ordering system in place and masks to be worn when ordering. Everything very well explained.

Lovely service friendly staff. Seated immediately. Chocolate muffin to die for and lovely tea served in china service

Visited for a light lunch having the sausage roll and tea cake tea and coffee. All was very nice. Service was good and they were coping well with the social distancing restrictions. Well priced.

What a super little spot. Fabulous delicious food, great menu range and the friendliest, polite staff we’ve come across in ages (Great C19 procedures as well). Definitely be back, highly recommended.

Revisiting Camellia Cottage we were pleased to see they had extended the outdoor seating area giving more space for customers. Clear signs explaining the process for getting served & seated were very helpful. A very charming young man greeted us, welcomed us and offered us a menu. More smiles and friendly staff inside when I placed my order. Prompt service, lovely Lattes, offered water for our dog and a great visit. Thank you we will return.

So, i am yet to find a Mocha that matches the American one i had....... No more , may i tell you is that the case . Get yourself down to this little Gem of a place. The warmed scone attached to the fabulous Mocha made a very wet day amazing.well worth 2nd and 3rd visit even from London.

Amazing scones with jam and cream and cheese scones with chutney in lovely surroundings. Dog friendly and people friendly!

Popped in here whilst visiting Sherringham recently. Lovely cosys little cafe with a warm welcome. Lots of lovely home made cakes, pastires, sandwiched etc on offer but we only had coffee, which was piping hot and very good.

When in Sherringham we always pop in here for a drink and snack, and are never disappointed. The home made sneaks are great and the team and coffee great, all served by staff who care.

Having walked along the coastal path we were looking for a good café for a hot drink and were not disappointed. Delicious hot drinks and cherry bakewell energised us for the rest of the morning. Highly recommended.

Lovely family lunch in the courtyard. Hot baguettes were first class and the prawn sandwiches were delicious - and large!

This is a beautiful cafe with plenty of cake choices including Gluten Free. Coffee excellent. Lunch was great and they did a lovely Gluten Free sandwich with small salad and coleslaw. Staff are brilliant, helpful and service was prompt. A must if you like small cafes with excellent service and food.
