Cherryleaf Coffee House in Norwich

Great range of breakfast choices suitable for a wide range of diets. Food was very tasty, service was friendly and prices reasonable

Always lively and excellent vegetarian breakfast ! The only problem was the wait (30 minutes before being served although the place was quite empty), and the toilets could be cleaner.

Super gluten free options. Had a lovely panini followed by lemon curd cake and raspberry and white chocolate cake. Both were gorgeous. I didn’t eat both, I did share. First class.

What a wonderful place , staff are just amazing, so friendly, coffee spot on . Thank you

Great little place. Excellent flat white. Superb breakfast. Poached eggs on wilted spinach, smoked ham and muffin. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Lovely group of people working here made me and my cat rocket feel very welcome on her birthday 🥳

Nice cozy environment with great Breakfast\ Brunch options, coffee could be a tad stronger but overall a really nice place!

It was lovely to be able to go out and have a really good selection of gluten free cakes, however the cake was overwhelmingly sweet and couldn't finish it. The service was slow even though it wasn't busy. It's also quite expensive, at least for me personally. Nice decor.

Had a lovely visit to this charming cafe yesterday. Very friendly, welcoming waitress. Food was great. Plenty of choice of quick bites (focaccia, wraps etc…) Delicious cakes. And didn’t break the bank.

Came here recently for the first time over lunch. The cafe is nice and warm inside, and there is a good variety of drink and food options. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and all the food and drink we had tasted great! Overall, we all had a fantastic experience!

Amazing gluten free cakes and muffins. The coffee cheesecake in particular was to die for.

Highly recommended! We went there with my baby niece and everybody was so sweet and friendly. Food was great too!

Very dog friendly, water bowl and treat provided, good food, friendly atmosphere and excellent service. Would highly recommend this out of the city hubbub location to visitors to our wonderful city

Lovely experience as a newly diagnosed Coeliac, all cakes GF, not that you would know and the main menu, breakfast or lunch was full of GF options. Excellent personal service with a good understanding of allergies. Steps away from the hustle of the city, a real gem of a find. We will definitely return

What an absolute nice place for a good coffee and absolute great cakes, love it!

Picked up a Too Good to Go box from here on a whim and it was amazing!! Can't wait to go back and try the coffee. The blueberry muffin was 12/10 and the best muffin I've had in Norwich! I had the almond croissants the next day and the filling inside them is devine. Absolute gem of a find, can't wait to go back!

Visited first thing in the morning for coffee and cake after seeing good reviews on Facebook. First struck by the friendly welcome and fantastic cake choice. The coffee was lovely as was the gluten free raspberry muffin. As I sat and enjoyed them obvious regulars popped in for their morning takeaway fix, and all warmly greeted. Not had the opportunity to go there for lunch yet but that has good reviews too so will bear in mind for future. This gem is definitely worth a revisit next time I have time to kill in the city and highly recommended for anyone else requiring gf for any reason.

Very good atmosphere, nice people but often to crowded. Very nice at early evening or late afternoons

Gluten free cakes are the best they are same taste as normal.Service is good lovely staff.

WOW! Breakfast perfection 👌 All cooked/prepared fresh to order... Highly recomend

Brilliant cafe !! Highly recommended !! Fresh and tasty food !

Visited April 24 for lunch with family while in the area. Lovely venue lovely staff and as a Coeliac lovely gluten free options. Thank you.

Excellent service, delicious food-perfect poached eggs- and great value for money. What more do you want? This cafe has it all and I will be going back soon

Absolutely delicious food and coffee! Lots of gluten free options. I really like the art for sale.

My new favourite cafe in Norwich 🥰 Ever since I discovered Cherry Leaf, I can't get enough of it! I have coeliac disease, and their gluten free options are AMAZING - the best I have ever EVER seen in a cafe! Gluten free wraps, toasties, sandwiches and SO many cake options. Today, I think there were about 9 or 10 different options - from cupcakes to thick slices of cake to brownies to flapjacks etc. etc. I can highly recommend the chai lattes and hot chocolates - my favourite is a gingerbread flavoured one with almond milk. They have lots of dairy free milk choices, and most of the cakes are dairy free too. I had the most incredible blueberry muffin here a few weeks ago, and today I had a blueberry and lime slice of cake. It was so moist and tasty - my friend could not tell the difference to non-gluten free cake. I can't wait to try their other bakes. I also had the hummus, roast pepper, and tomato toasted wrap which was so yummy. It comes with crisps and salad too. The cafe itself has a wonderful atmosphere - very cosy and friendly, and the staff are very warm and smiley. I love the decor and it is spacious inside. There are sofas and cosy corners to sit and chat with friends. Thank you Cherry Leaf for making such delicious gluten free food - it makes me so happy to have more than one option. You guys are the best 🩷 Update: Can highly recommend their Gluten Free toasted 'focaccia' with goats cheese, walnut, and onion Marmelade, their vegan flapjack, and their gluten free chai cake with cream cheese. INCREDIBLE 😍❤️ Update 2: their smoothies are delicious and filling, I recommend mixed berries, banana, and peanut butter 😋 sadly, their gluten free raspberry streusel cake was wayyy too sweet for my personal taste, but I love the creativity

Really lovely place for breakfast and lunch. Staff are very friendly and the food is consistently brilliant. I come here a lot. My only note for improvement is that all the staff take a barista course. The coffee is always rather foamy, and drinks like a flat white should have no foam at all. Plant milks are harder to get to a nice consistency, but it is possible if you are shown some tricks by a professional. I think if this improvement is made it would be the perfect cafe experience. Edit: upon looking at other reviews I can see photos of beautiful non-foamy flat whites and lattes! Perhaps this is just one person I am regularly served by that needs proper barista training. All the best.

Everything is fab ✨ but don’t forget to try the most amazing muffins you’ll ever have

Excellent freshly cooked food, the coffee wasn't too shabby either!

Had a coffee and carrot cake here. ☕️ No complaints with anything! The staff were really nice :)

Fantastic cafe food delicious staff very attentive and friendly couldn't fault it at all!!

Fabulous cakes, all gluten free and much enjoyed by gluten eaters too. Great coffee. Great service. Cant wait to go again!

Not only was breakfast incredible, but when I left my bag behind the staff went above and beyond to get it back to me. Loads of gluten free cakes too!

Really appreciate that my wife can eat there without worry about gluten free options because nearly everything is either gluten free or can be adapted. We have eaten there many times and taken cakes home and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend for eating in or takeaway.

Yummy gluten free cakes, great coffee and service. Dog friendly!

Best gluten free cakes in Norwich, I won't get treats from elsewhere. The staff are all so friendly too, I come here a lot and have yet to be disappointed! I usually end up getting more than one slice of cake to takeaway as it's so good.

Delicious and very fluffy muffins, the best I've ever had! The coffee cake is also incredible :)

Lovely coffee and cake, unfortunately there are hidden charges (£1.40) that customers aren't made aware of beforehand or at the time of ordering. I walked in and ordered from the counter (where prices were shown) and then sat down when they cleaned off a table. At the end, I payed and walked out and realised as soon as I left that it was more than it should have been. Went back in and was told there is a fee to eat in, which is apparently listed on the menu... but I had never been given a menu and everyone seems to order at the counter like I did. I didn't see any menus on any tables. Please just price items accordingly and don't hide charges. It leaves a bad taste after what could have been a lovely visit. On that basis, sadly, I won't be back as there are so many other nice places to go in Norwich.

Brillant lunch coffee and cake . Staff friendly and will definitely go back. Great selection of food

This cafe has such beautiful, friendly, accomodating staff! We enjoyed a coffee and cake and loved the atmosphere! Would definitely recommend :) xx

Nice to find a cafe with such great reviews for gluten free food. My piece of cake was lovely and my friend had a nice toastie sandwich. Prices very fair and they clearly have lots of happy regulars as it was very busy. The service, however, was quite poor. The type of vibe where you feel you are a bit of an imposition for ordering food / drinks. They were busy, but it is not good to put your stress onto the customers. Perhaps it was just a couple of staff needing some more training. They also have a 70p cover charge for people who eat in. I understand totally the extra charge but it is an odd business decision in terms of marketing. It would be best to advertise a discount for taking away and to raise their prices accordingly. So overall, thank you so much for being coeliac safe but gluten free food should come with good service too!

A very cute little cafe, serving some of the best porridge and cakes there are! Very friendly staff and a popular little spot!

Highly recommend Cherry Leaf for a special birthday cake made to order. Quick turnaround and tastes delicious.

Lovely coffee shop and even lovelier staff! Best chai latte I have had so far, yummy toasts and a fair price, I totally recommend this place

A lovely little cafe on the edge of the city centre. We dropped in for a light weekday brunch and were greeted by cheerful, friendly staff in a realistic, clean environment. Prices are pretty reasonable given the location and there are enough options to cater to most needs (including vegan and gluten free). Whilst we stuck to the breakfast menu, their cakes looked excellent and the salads (on the specials menu) sounded enticing too.

Cherry Leaf, coffee shop St Giles Street, Norwich, NR2 1LW What a find in Norwich. We had lovely coffee and a filled toasted Ciabatta's Cherry Leaf also have a delicious breakfast menu and light bites and cakes. It's dog friendly in side the coffee shop.

Visited for the first time today and was very impressed. Had a lovely coffee made with care and a delicious toasted wrap. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

This was our first time visiting the cherry leaf cafe. We brought our furry pet with us. The cakes we had were delicious and the lovely coffee was good value. The chocolate banana and coconut cake was yummy! The service was great, so friendly and so welcoming to us and our dog. They offered him a bowl of water which was very thoughtful. We got chatting to some other friendly customers. We will definitley be back.

A friendly gem in the city. Good food and coffee. Can only cater for about 20 at any one time, but worth waiting for. Friendly staff. Takeaway available.

Best breakfast/lunch/coffee/cakes in Norwich! Everything is delicious. I come here as often as possible.

Absolute amazing food and service, cannot fault the place. Staff friendly and the cakes are to die for. 5/5 highly recommend

brilliant food, brilliant service, 10/10 will be visiting again

I don’t leave many reviews but this one deserved it! Great Cafe with great food and amazing staff. Very friendly and cosy. Will definitely be coming back! G

Amazing authentic Food,with fantastic service,I’d give 6stars if possible,highly recommend.

Great food and great service would 100% recommend

Lovely coffee shop, the staff are very friendly, the food is always yummy and the service is fast, perfect place for lunch. Absolutely would recommend 👌 cakes are top notch too

This cafe is a little gem. Staff are very accommodating and the atmosphere relaxed, no pressure is put upon you to leave. Good selection of cakes which are reasonably priced and the same applies for the choice of beverages. Great menu selection too.

You know something is not right when the owner don’t respond to negative feedback,or give a explanation..another high street cafe squeezing the public purse charging you to sit in the establishment.I have heard of a discretionary service charge.never knew you had to pay to walk in the place.sneaky and sly charge.

Over priced cafe.my plate had a airline crack.not hygienic.the breakfast ok.tough bacon.hard sausages.sourdough breat was over done and the butter melted was like water.the audacity to charge customers to eat in there is ridiculous.1st and last visit..another bad point the length of time to be served and get the food.27 minutes.pathetic...plenty of other decent cafes nearby..

Overpriced food.long wait for food to arrive,waited around 25 minutes for a breakfast.plate was cracked.1st and last visit.much better places to eat around norwich..they even have the audacity to charge you for eating in there..its no suprize that these cafes are closing down..I'm sure this will be another casualty before long.. goodluck

Have been In Norwich from Brighton for 3 days to celebrate wife's birthday. Popped in Friday and had tea and coffee which was great and also liked the pictures that were for sale. Decided to pop back Saturday for a late breakfast and buy a framed picture of 2 foxes. Place was full and had to wait to get a seat. Great vegan options. Food was freshly cooked to order and tasted great. Service was polite and friendly. The only thing I didn't like was seeing someone who had one coffee which he'd finished and just sat there reading his paper. We were in there 50 mins and he was still sat there when we left. There were numerous people who came in wanting to sit down but no tables available. Seemed very selfish to the other people. It must be a fine line of not being rude, trying to get people to finish up and leave when they've finished. For a small independent place you cannot afford to have people spending £3 on a coffee and spending an hour or more to drink it. Thanks for the great food.

A gem of a place with excellent food, service, staff and atmosphere, highly recommended.

Beautiful cafe, friendly professional staff and really tasty food.

Cafe with a variety of delightfully sweet options - cakes, scones, brownies. It would be hard to resist such a treat. Fruit scone was nice, and the coffee was delicious.

On one of my regular but infrequent visits to Norwich, I found that both of my two favourite lunch venues had closed. Google found the Cherryleaf for me, and what a find! I was welcomed warmly, which is not always the case for a solo customer, and chose a Moroccan squash and carrot salad. It was delicious, flavourful and large, leaving me no room for any the tempting cakes on disply. It was also very good value for money. I shall certainly return.

This place have delicious brownies 😊

Thank you to the team for a nice afternoon and the best coffee ever!

Lovely staff, a nice comfortable place to sit and eat, and delicious cakes. I had a raspberry and whitechocalte muffin and it was sooooo good. Very moist and light and the frosting on top was rich and creamy - better than a lot of cakes (and it was gluten free which i didnt even know). Definitely would say to come here.

Popped in whilst waiting for someone else in the city. Lovely place and lovely, polite, welcoming staff. I only had a coffee, but the staff didn't make me feel unwelcome by sitting in with just a coffee, nor did I feel rushed to leave which I have done in orevious places. Presentation was beautiful, only £3 for a latte! Thank you all ❤

Amazing gluten free cakes, lovely staff.

Lovely food. Lovely team. Always welcoming to myself, even more so to my dog!

Best porridge in Norwich. Very helpful staff and big enough to allow one to sit. Excellent!

Great value and very tasty breakfast

What an incredible find as a gluten-free eater! Lots of meal options and SO MANY DELICIOUS CAKES 😍 Lovely comfortable seating, not overcrowded. Friendly staff and a good vibe for meeting a friend or for getting some work done. Will definitely be returning whenever I’m in the area.

So lovely to have so many GF choices for breakfast/lunch and especially cake. The staff are attentive & the food is spot on. Definitely worth a visit. Approx 5 min walk from Norwich Market.

I grabbed some breakfast to go from here as it was just across the road from our apartment. The topped porridge was delicious - absolutely loaded with berries and seeds. My missus had a croissant with emantel and ham which she really enjoyed. They even made her a hot chocolate with oatmilk too. My expectations were exceeded

Loved the Cherry Leaf😄 Best hot chocolate ever!!! The Cherry Leaf is incredible!!! Really nice cakes!

My daughter , granddaughter and myself had lunch at the Cherry Leaf cafe yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our food was delicious, hot and tasty and nicely presented. We were made to feel most welcome with my baby granddaughter accommodated cheerfully. We are looking forward to returning to Cherry Leaf again soon 😁

Lovely place, one oft favourites in Norwich. All cakes are baked on the premises, and they're all gluten free. So, if you need or want to avoid gluten, Cherry Leaf is an excellent option. I would very much welcome cakes without sugar, using stevia and erithrit. This would help many people who are diabetic or are on a low carb diet. Nice ambience, kind staff.

Perfect little friendly spot for tasty gluten-free dairy free food

Wonderful service. Lovely coffee. Delicious cakes. Great place to eat and drink.

I come here often for a break from the office and it's really comfortable. The pink hot chocolate is amazing and the selection of cakes and bakes are out of the world

Tasty food for sure ..... BUT ...... unfortunately left a very sour taste when I went to pay and they slapped on a £1.20 cover charge - something that must have been very well hidden in their menus, and which I thought in any case had disappeared from British cafes decades ago. Then to top it all I got home and realised they'd also over-charged us anyway. So counter-productive - there are plenty other cafe choices in Norwich, so I'll just use those instead in future.

Staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

When you're rain-soaked from Christmas shopping, you have 2 wet dogs and need a warm welcome - try this cafe.

Favourite coffee shop in Norwich. Great staff - always friendly. Cater well for vegan, gluten-free and allergies. Great selection of cakes available. Great place to work/ study on a laptop - comfy seats and many plug sockets

We liked the photos but the reality let us down. The place had an unfinished look and even when the waitress wiped the table (not exactly thoroughly) it was still stained with crumbs on it.. The chairs were yellow and plastic, not matching the tables, and were too low and uncomfortable. Toilets were being refurbished (I think) and the corridor was dark. Sausage butty was tasty but arrived when we had nearly finished hot drinks (which weren't very hot) and absolutely awful. Cappuccino tasted oddly sweet (and not because of the few grains of chocolate on top). A disappointing visit after a long traipse to find it.

Lovely little find, great food, delightful staff, massive cakes and good coffee! Most important...dog friendly!

We visited here after I researched gluten free cafes in Norwich and this seemed like a safe bet with me being coeliac. I’ve never visited any café with such fabulous gluten free choices. I opted for the gluten free toasted ciabatta with bacon, Brie and cranberry sauce. This was served with crisps and lightly dressed salad leaves. It was absolutely delicious. My husband chose the normal toasted ciabatta with bacon, Brie and onion marmalade. His was huge and also served with the crisps and dressed salad. Although he did say it was nice, my husband didn’t enjoy his as much due to the fact that there was a little more marmalade on the sandwich than he would have liked. But this may just be personal preference. The cafe was lovely and clean and the staff were pleasant. They had a huge range of cakes and I do wish that I had bought some to takeaway. They also allow dogs and have treats on the side in a jar to give them which I think is great! The only down side for me, I used the toilet whilst there. They are clearly undergoing a renovation and only the disabled toilet is in use which was fine. But there was no where to dry my hands after washing them. There was an electric hand dryer under the sink that was not yet installed. In which case, I would at least expect to see paper towels and a bin? Overall, a fabulous experience and that 1 thing certainly wouldn’t stop me visiting again.

I joined my wife for breakfast and very nice it was too. Two very pleasant ladies serving and preparing the food. A nice atmosphere to go with the location

I regularly visit this impressive little cafe, often for breakfast or brunch. Deserves 5* for food and service. Everything is freshly made and I can tell you that the cakes are delicious (as well as the porridge with berries and seeds!). Gemma and her team...

My new favourite Norwich find! Pretty place with great food & service!

I've only tried the muffins, cake, flapjack, and brownies (vegan options available). The muffins especially are sensational - but everything I've had so far has been really good. I don't get the chance to go in often as their opening times clash with my work...

This independent coffee shop and snack bar is just off the city centre. We tried the scones but the homemade cakes looked very appetising. There is also a range of toasted sandwiches, wraps etc. on the menu. Prices were very reasonable for a city centre location.

Amazing coffee, great smoothies, and supreme egg poaching skills - they get the yolk to that perfect honey like consistency. Yum

Lovely cafe, with many gluten free and veggie and vegan options. Very nice coffee and cakes, but most of all, super friendly and smiley staff- they really seem to have passion for what they do. A nice little gem of a cafe in Norwich

We popped in on passing and had a warm welcome at Cherry Leaf Cafe. Coffee and cake were delicious. Thank you

Only stopped in for a coffee. It was a very good one. Can’t comment on food but it was all freshly made. Friendly staff. Happy.

Excellent ! We’ve tried most of the menu and everything is tasty, well cooked and the portions are very good! Thank you !

amazing tasting gluten free cakes and sandwiches, massive range and lovely staff

A small quiet café away from the city centre. Nicely decorated with a friendly vibe. Selling the usual café grub, with a gastro nod. I had the posh breakfast, basically Eggs Florentine. It was cooked nicely and presented well on the plate. The other meals...
