Debbie Bryan in Nottingham

I took my God Mother to Debbie Bryan for an afternoon tea to celebrate her 85th birthday. We both had such a lovely afternoon. The tea was fabulous, so tasty and catered for both our dietary needs - I am vegan. My Auntie Pat said the scone was the best she'd ever had !! The two young ladies looking after us were very friendly, helpful and attentive. It's a great place and I'd highly recommend it! This is my second visit and I will definitely be back again !!

If you love to craft (or even just afternoon tea), then you'll absolutely love this place! Was looking for a craft activity to do as I was in Nottingham for the day, and ended up finding this gem of a place. I had contacted them beforehand and Katie kindly helped to get me in as a solo booking. I did the Crafternoon of Teacup Floristry and had an amazing afternoon tea - it was exactly what I was looking for. The decor is so cute and all the team were super helpful and friendly. I just wish I had one of these places closer to me - can you please come to Shropshire?! Katie in particular was really helpful in going through how the crafternoon worked, and then I was left to have fun creating. I never felt rushed and was offered my afternoon tea once I was ready - and it was so good! Would 100% travel to Nottingham just to go back here!

Spent a smashing afternoon here with a group of ladies for my friend's baby shower, and we were really impressed with the afternoon tea. Great food/drink, delicious cakes, wonderful and attentive service, gorgeous little venue. All very easy to arrange, and some very particular dietary requirements were no issue at all. The shop area at the front is a lovely addition too. This place couldn't have been more perfect for my friend, who'd never been but loved it. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

We were a group of friends having a reunion, and had a lovely afternoon. Food was excellent, catering for all dietary needs, service friendly, efficient and professional, and the surroundings amazing. We will come back again!

Such a cool atmosphere here. This place is a hidden gem! Hot chocolate and scones were really nice :) I’ll definitely be back here to try the soup

Loved it. One of our group has dietary requirements and Debbie and her team were brilliant!

Me and my friend went here today for lunch and everything was delicious! We both had the soup of the day which was perfect for the cold weather it warmed is both up nicely. After we had a cup of tea and while I had a piece of toffee cake my friend had a sweet scone. Everything was amazing and would love to come back to try a crafternoon sometime! The interior is beautiful & staff are very friendly 😊

Debbie Bryan is the best place in Nottingham for vegan afternoon tea, can always rely on excellent quality and good portions. I've been to many places in Nottinghamshire but always come back to Debbie Bryan if I'm booing an afternoon tea, just can't be beat! The staff are wonderful too, very friendly and personable, attentive but not smothering and happy to accommodate any request. They are genuinely committed to a fabulous customer experience and strive to ensure that everyone is catered for. Really can't recommend this venue enough.

If you want to get the cottagecore experience amongst the hustle and bustle of the city; visit Debbie Bryan and just let yourself get lost in the vibe. The food is fantastic, she is fantastic and so are her crafts. Book a day with her and you will never forget it!

Had an afternoon tea here a few times which has been absolutely lovely and food really good. Was a little quiet as were only ones there but apart from that was great. Thank you

Lovely Xmas afternoon tea. Banging cinnamon butter and brownie.

Wonderful few hours spent at one of Debbie Bryan’s Crafternoons. Superb afternoon tea and cocktail plus lots of tea and coffee! Bonus made a lovely gold leaf coaster and got 15% voucher to use in the shop! Win win! Can’t recommend highly enough and Debbie is warm and enthusiastic and so welcoming. Thankyou Debbie for a lovely afternoon.

Not a fan of the designs showcased at this establishment.

Had a fantastic mini wreath making crafternoon with my mum and daughter. We had a great time, staff were fantastic and helpful with great instructions. The afternoon tea was beautiful. Thanks so much for a great day.

An eclectic gem of a place hidden within the Lace Market. So glad I came across it. Had a lovely craft afternoon with delicious carrot cake and tea. Will return for one of their afternoon teas and take friends to share this delightful experience

We had Cream Teas for 7 of us - plenty of tea and beautiful scones. They also prepared a few sandwiches for some of the party.

Booked in for Afternoon tea to celebrate a friend's 50th Birthday. From start to finish the atmosphere was warm and inviting . The sandwiches and scones were fresh and a good variety of cakes were offered, with the option of boxing up for taking home with you. A few of us had the vegetarian afternoon tea and one had the gluten free , which she said was delicious. Would highly recommend.

An excellent experience. I haven’t had so much fun for a while. The ginger whiskey cocktail and camomile cake was divine. I’ll be taking advantage of these crafternoons again.

I attended an art workshop at Debbie Bryan at Nottingham Lace Market last week and had a fabulous time. It was easy to find, a convenient location and the people were very friendly. The shop itself was open and well spaced, there was a mix of many beautiful thins to choose from. I had a coffee and homemade cakes that were delicious also. The atmosphere for the workshop was great , just the right number of people to be able to learn and try everything within the allowed time. I would definitely recommend attending a workshop here.

We had an amazing afternoon tea. The setting is quirky and fun and the sandwiches and cakes were delicious. Thank you ! Xx 😋😋

A lovely cosy place, perfect to spend an afternoon unwinding while enjoying some crafts and luscious baked goods. I’ve been to Debbie Bryan several times for crafternoons and workshops and always enjoy my time there. The owner Debbie along with her team are warm and welcoming, always greeting you with a smile and happy to help. The desserts also never fail to impress as they are always delicious. Overall, a great experience!

My work team and I attended a ceramic painting session here on Friday afternoon and we loved it. It was just what we all needed, and really brought out our creative side. We were all so pleased with the outcome of our ceramic creations, and loved the additions of a warm drink and a brownie. I personally want to say thank you for catering to my difficult allergies (dairy, nuts and soya) It’s very rare that I feel involved when other people are able to have sweet treats so thank you for making us all feel so included and welcome. The studio is beautiful and I can’t wait to stop by in the future for another crafternoon! :)

Booked a Crafternoon (tea light painting) for myself and my mum - we had an amazing time! Staff were sooo friendly and we were set up with everything we needed. We weren't rushed at all and loved the whole experience (yummy brownies!). The place itself is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We will be back :)

I took my mum for a Mothers Day crafternoon and we had the best time. I’m not a crafter myself, but I really enjoyed it. Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. Location was easy to find and atmosphere was great. Looking forward to going again sometime soon!

We planned an afternoon tea out with the girls and it was absolutely lovely. Food was delicious, staff were attentive and the space was cosy. Would highly recommend for a nice day out!

Lovely place tucked away in the lace market district. We only had a cup of tea, but the menu looked very good. The tea was served in quirky cups and saucers and there was lots of choices of teas. There was a whole host of crafts available to try your hand at.

My daughter bought me a crafting vegan cream tea for my mother's day treat. The food was truly wonderful, especially the scones with jam and cream. I loved the beetroot and peanut butter sandwiches. They may be an acquired taste though! The China was lovely too. As for the crafting, we painted some vintage saucers. We had such fun and it was a really mindful activity. We will be back!

I had a wonderful day of sampling different crafts with delicious food and drinks. A nourishing experience on all levels

Wow! It was so great to be back at speed craft, a relaxing time with lovely staff who really looked after us. The crafts were all different and enjoyable, and lunch and cake was fantastic. Thank you so much x

Very quirky place and the staff are lovely and very helpful.

So good! Really lovely people, refreshingly interesting place, tasty treats and plenty of goodness on offer. 😍

Beautiful, quirky cafe and shop, we stumbled upon whilst walking around the area. Will definitely visit again.

I did the glass painting when it was Light Night. Really enjoyed the experience and would like to attend again for another experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. May buy some glass paints to continue with this hobby as well. I recommend coming here for coffee/afternoon tea also.

What a beautiful little gem of a place! A cafe with craft sessions and a beautiful little shop. Full of beautiful lace and flowers. Must visit!

We had such an amazing time at Debbie Bryan for our team Christmas get together: afternoon tea followed by a dried wreath making crafternoon. The three of us absolutely love crafts, and couldn't think of any better way to spend an afternoon than loads of tea, coffee and cake and unlimited access to boxes and boxes of dried flowers. The guidance given was super helpful, and the tea room itself is so beautiful and creative — a proper little treasure trove hidden away in Nottingham's side streets. Also: such good chocolate brownies, and amazing scones too. We're moving into a studio close by in the new year, so we'll definitely be back whenever we need a creative fix!

I attended the fresh and foraged wreath making workshop with friends, and had an amazing time. The support and assistance given by Debbie and her team was excellent, and there was lots of nice greenery to make the wreath. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to give it a go.

Interesting place with different iteams for sale that you wouldn't see anywhere else quirky style decorations around seating area

Fabulous afternoon tea in a lovely setting. Very attentive staff who catered superbly for the vegetarian and dairy free ladies In our party. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to attending one of the craft events soon.

We had a lovely crafternoon building a wreath as a family. Super helpful staff, lovely coffee and delicious cookies. A wonderful way to spend some time with my family on a Sunday afternoon.

Our visit on Saturday was a birthday present to me from my niece, it was a lovely surprise, we chose a plate to decorate, plenty of ideas around, lovely relaxing atmosphere, coffee and gorgeous cake also included, would definitely go again for another craft afternoon ,thank you..

wonderfull find! Great coffee, scones and quirky ambience. Crafty treasure trove.

went here for afternoon tea on saturday with our three grandaugthers very fussy eaters but we were acomandated brilliantley the food was really nice and the girls all enjoyed it, staff really friendly and helpful will defo return

Lovely afternoon tea. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

Great tea and scones, soup and coffee

I booked a 'crafternoon' with my friend where we painted wine glasses and had drinks and cake. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was great- really friendly and attentive. I also loved the personal touch of a printed out menu with my name on it! My friend and I had a great time and would definitely recommend.

What a lovely little hideaway. My warm scone (veganised) and hot tea were perfect for a grey day.

Enjoyed a piping hot pot of masala chai, served in china crockery. The yummy homemade fruit scones arrived warm (lovely touch) with clotted cream and strawberry jam 😋 Lots of interesting decorative touches and on entry, a small arts and crafts area with items for sale. The staff were friendly, attentive and polite. The only distraction for me was a noticeable fusty smell which is understandable considering the age and history of the building. Some aromatherapy oils or natural alternatives might help? Overall, enjoyed the experience so will definitely return! 🤗

We had a wonderful afternoon and can’t wait to go back. We’d booked for an embroidery session and chocolate afternoon tea, and it was so relaxing and welcoming. And there were chocolate orange scones! What more could you want?!

Love the art work vibe in this cafe, the dessert are amazing.

I called in with a friend for afternoon tea.I always enjoy coming here because it is a venue in which to sample home made food and experience a unique atmoshere in a delightful old building..Because it is right in the centre of the Lace District of Nottingham it has the purpose of encouraging all forms of creative art, so besides selling food and drinks it also has handicraft and art lessons.The staff who work here are also well qualified in their own artistic areas and are happy to talk about their knowledge and passion. I had a savoury scone with cherry tomato and basil pesto.My friend had homemade soup with freshly made bread.We were both very happy with our meals and the very reasonable prices.We both like to support local, independent businesses. Whilst eating, you can take your time to look at the quirky collection of artefacts on the walls and tables including bobbins from the local industry.They also have a large collection of lace examples. I dont know of any other local cafe with this sort of atmosphere. To give you some idea of possible refreshments , they sell different savoury scones, soup and olive bread, fruit scones, cakes and deserts.Look elsewhere if you want a beefburger and chips. There is a good range of teas (17!), 3 types of coffee, soft drinks including elderflower, hot chocolate and smoothies. I thoroughly recommend you try it out.You will not be disappointed.Check out their opening times on their website before making a visit.

Visited with my mum to try our hands at glass painting. We had a drink and a piece of cake which were both lovely. The staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely want to help make your experience fun.

Debbie Bryan’s in Nottingham Lace Market was really great. They couldn’t have been more welcoming, the food was fresh and delicious and they even welcomed our cocker spaniel; Angus. My mum thoroughly enjoyed her birthday treat. Thank you!!

Had a fantastic chocolate afternoon tea here on 12th June. The cakes and hot chocolate were amazing. One of our friends was unwell and couldn’t make it, but it was no trouble at all for the team to box up her cakes so we could pass it into our friend for when she felt better. We will be coming back to sample the crafts on offer.

Lovely afternoon tea for 3, was plenty of food for all of us!

We ordered home delivered gluten free afternoon tea on Mother’s Day. The order process was simple and straight forward, delivery was right on time and completely hassle free. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Would definitely recommend!

I ordered an afternoon tea for my wife for Mothers Day which also included a couple of mini afternoon tea's for my daughters. It was absolutely fantastic. We really enjoyed the quality of all elements. We have actually ordered Afternoon Tea from various establishments during the last 12 months and have to say Debbie Bryan's is up there as one of the best we have had. The service and ease of use of the website really helped as well. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for making me a hero on Mothers day!! Sireesh

Debbie Bryan is always great. Amazing vegan afternoon teas and friendly service.

Ordered afternoon tea for Mother’s Day, arrived on time on Sunday and was beautifully presented, food was amazing, my parents loved it. Would definitely order again. Thank you Debbie.

Awesome vibe, great art available, food was top drawer, and the scones, oh my, like they had been baked by the gods!!

Really fun place. Cool inside :) had a lovely afternoon tea when visiting Nottingham

We had the gin cocktail vegan afternoon tea and it was delicious. Good variety of sandwiches and cakes. The shop and cafe is a really unique quirky style. I have previously visited for a supper club and also for crafts and it has always been lovely. The staff are always really helpful and friendly too :)

Perfect spot for the afternoon tea. Very lovely and one of a kind!

What a gem!! Arts, crafts and food with a sprinkling of fairy lights and lovingly placed upcycled decor. Enjoyed a fantastic afternoon tea here for a friend's birthday. Totally tailored to our requirements (vegan but with meat - don't ask) everything we had was super tasty and beautifully presented. I'm coming back!

I love walking around the older parts of the City and if you find Debbie Bryan on your travels you are in for a treat. Lovely food, vegan offerings in a beautiful setting. The seating area is peaceful and unique and the vintage china is a lovely touch too.

Amazing little art cafe, food is delicious.

Beautiful shop with warm atmosphere. Perfect for meeting up with friends for coffee and cakes (or one of their yummy soups). Lots of interesting workshops offered too.

Tea pot and scones, all you need

Lovely shop with unique crafts. Great cafe with the most amazing warm gluten free brownies. Cannot wait to come back and try out the craft sessions.

Can definitely recommend the afternoon tea

A beautiful cafe with rich lace decoration, very friendly staff and excellent service. We attended a glass painting session and the stimuli around was plenty. I really enjoy it and would do it again with friends. Thanks for a beautiful afternoon!!!

A wonderful gem of a cafe. Tea, hot chocolate and fantastic cake in what is probably the most artistically interesting cafe in Nottingham. Located through a shop selling a wide range of high quality, unique, hand made craft items reflecting the Lace Market's history.

Friendly service and a lovely selection of gift options, as well as a great cup of tea!

Great soup and savoury scones. Excellent atmosphere. Love it!

Super drinks in a beautiful environment. Coffee, milkshake, hot chocolate and tea all excellent. Highly recommended.

I went for afternoon tea with my friend yesterday to celebrate our birthdays. As soon as we got there we were welcomed at the door. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing with a bit of background music. We were given a bucks fizz first and didn't have to wait long before the afternoon tea was brought out on a cake stand. There was a good selection of sandwiches with 4 different fillings. Then handmade cakes including my favourite carrot cake. Then a delicious fruit scone with a choice of strawberry or raspberry jam and cream. Yum! The afternoon went quickly and we were so full we had to take a doggy bag out with us! All in all, lovely food, great service and super atmosphere. Will definately come again and may just try one of their crafting classes next time! Thank you again for a lovely afternoon.

Meh. We chose this place for afternoon tea and food drink was okay but music was 80's and a bit grungy, too loud. It's like eating in an antique store or charity shop with lots of miscellaneous items around.

Home from a lovely morning creating my first ever lace brooch!! Being a complete novice I was apprehensive as to where to start but Debbie quickly but me at ease meaning I have now created a brooch with beautiful Nottingham Lace! Thank you so much Debbie!xx

We paid £37 per head for 4 courses and a bad expresso cocktail served in a tumbler with weird watery milk topping. Food was overpriced, we had vegan option, starters basic, nice cauliflower soup, soggy pastry and hard parsnips for main and a very large pudding in which we found a hair!! Complaints were ignored. And please .... do something about your toilet, massive damp patches and dirty windows. In fact the overall cleanliness was not good enough for a pop up restaurant.

Took my daughter there this afternoon for a treat and we both loved it. Super friendly, very novel tea shop and the best afternoon tea ive ever had. Food was amazing and my daughter had the Gluten Free option with every bite as tasty as mine. Thank you.

Great store, friendly environment

A lovely shop full of crafty things- if you’re looking for something that little bit unusual this is the place to go!! Must book for an afternoon tea- and the back looks very interesting for craft courses!!!! A little off the beaten track- but very worthwhile a wander- you can also have a wander around Nottingham’s fabulous Lace Market too!!!!

Great place for afternoon tea and cake

Had a really lovely birthday afternoon tea yeaterday Vegan and veggie choice was excellent. Lovely place to visit and wander . Thank you and well done

So friendly and helpful. The tea, coffee and cake were the best.

Great food and service. Good choice for vegans too!

Great tea £2.10 for a pot lots of little things to look at on the walls and such. If you like crafts and tea rooms you'll love it. (Haven't eaten here though the menu is quite extensive). Go check it out support the place I wish there were more places like this and less like Costa-a-lota or Star-Many-Bucks.

Another hidden gem found in Nottingham’s lace Market Area

Quirky and characterful cafe with a great range of activities going on. Staff are friendly and obliging. Good food too.

A wonderful place to explore & be creative, plus gorgeous food & drink options.

Delightful surroundings, helpful staff and lots of lovely art and crafts on display. Crafternoons are a speciality complemented by delicious offerings from the tea room. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant place. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and who doesn't want to craft whilst sitting in a quaint little cafe?! Highly recommended!

Lovely tea room and craft shop with lovely gifts for sale. Quite sanctuary away from the bustle, great for a catch up with friends.

Lovely place, have been on a few of the craft courses here and really enjoyed it! Debbie makes you feel very welcome! Had lovely lunch too. The shop has interesting handmade and unique pieces.

Nice place with some lovely staff. Full of cool arts and crafts stuff and has a nice vegan dining area. Worth a visit.

Lovely little vegan friendly cafe behind a craft shop. Nice filter coffee and a good selection of delicious cakes. A hidden gem perfect genteel afternoon tea.
