Diane's Pantry in Broadland

Pouring with rain today so popped in for a coffee and cake mid afternoon Very curt can I help from lady behind counter, asked for a coffee and can I sit in cafe area, told no cafe closed now. Got the feeling I was unwelcome and off you go attitude. Shame really won’t be going back! Walked down the road and got lovely coffee at V Cafe instead and got service there with a smile and a friendly hello

Lovely, friendly service and all the café food is delicious. I wish I could make pastry like theirs! This is the perfect lunch stop if you're walking Marriott's Way or one of the other trails in the area. The shop is also really well stocked with quality, healthy foods at sensible prices.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Relaxing, prompt, friendly polite, high quality ingredients and a side lounge which even allows 4 legged friends! Definitely one to revisit! Thanks!

We can here for lunch yesterday as passing through and have to recommend the quality of the food in this cafe. First off, the cheese straws are delicious and I could have dined off of these alone! Exceptionally reasonable as well! As was the pricing of all their meals. It made me question whether this was a market place often visited by tourists because the prices didn’t reflect what I have seen in similar cafes around Norfolk. We ordered a simple jacket potato with prawns and also a spinach, ricotta and pinenut quiche. The potato was ovencooked and tasty but the quiche was exceptional and my partner pronounced it to be the nicest spinach and ricotta quiche he has EVER had. He has just reminded me to say that the pastry also deserves a mention. The pantry shop itself is also well-stocked and reasonably priced from what I saw. We left clutching more cheese straws for the road and I expect we’ll find an excuse to navigate past this way again as soon as we possibly can.

Arrived trying to find an afternoon coffee but were sternly told only take outs after 3 o'clock. Admittedly we hadn't realised this was the case or the time but we certainly got the message and fled in fear of being shooed out any further. Would have been better to have been warmly welcomed with an gracious explanation that they couldn't serve and perhaps a kindly recommendation of where else we might go. Don't think we will bother this place again.

Last Thursday afternoon (December 23rd), a friend took me out for an afternoon drive, I had decided to go to Reepham, where I was hoping to find somewhere to eat, while walking around the Market Place, we came across Diane's Pantry, which neither me or my friend had come across before, looked very tempting, we went inside, where a member of staff (a friendly man), took our order, we went and sat at a table, in a very nice room, also in the room, was a Sofa, where you could sit, and eat and drink, at a table, in front of the Sofa, on the walls (in the room), were lots of Paintings and Cross Stitch Patterns, being able to draw Cartoon Characters, myself, I was pleased to see (on one wall) images of some Cartoon Characters (including Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Tweety Pie), my friend had a Latte, I had a cup of Tea and a Brownie, we also shared a Mince Pie, both me and my friend were impressed with Diane's Pantry, a Deli and Cafe, which we will definitely visit again, in the future.

I visited with my folks and having bought something from the shop, was about to head into the cafe with them. My parents were a few steps behind and I was waiting for them by the counter, when the manager pointed to the door and said "the exit's that way...". I started to respond, "I'm just waiting... (for my parents)". But she aggressively cut me off, with a "NO, the exit's that way". After a third attempt to speak and a third time being told where the exit was, she clocked what was happening. There was a muttered "I didn't realise...", but no apology. Hopefully in future she'll engage brain before (repeatedly) opening cake hole. Mince pies were nice, mind you.

A lovely place for a light lunch with a good range of options both hot and cold plus very pleasant service

Lovely little place we happened upon. Great food, excellent value and the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be popping back.

My friend and I had tried to go into The Kings Arms for a meal, but they were closed, to our advantage now I realise,as we stopped here for lunch, what a find, really friendly staff, polite and welcoming. Food really good, had the mozzarella panini coffee good too. Read with interest that this place has mostly elderly customers, so be it, I prefer somewhere quieter to have coffee and eat and can do without small children’s voices and you g parents shouting. We both bought something to take back to where we were staying, great selection of food to go too, cheese straws and cakes, all freshly baked, delicious. As I do not live that far away from Reepham, I will definitely return to Dianes Pantry what is not to like! We even stopped here on our way back home from our break, sausage roll really good. Thank you to your team, keep up the good work.

Lovely little place with good COVID regs in place. I enjoyed a lovely little vegan tart, with a great view of the market place. There were lots of fantastic healthy foods to purchase in the shop too.

I popped into Dianes pantry with my 2 year old to buy sausage rolls and was greeted with a scowl by the proprietor (not the first time this has happened) . The lady proprietor proceeded to speak very rudely about a customer who had just been in and how they created a mess when they are their soup. Quite frankly I was flabbergasted at the blatant rudeness I was witnessing, the majority of clients to Dianes pantry are elderly and visit regularly as they are lonely and like the company, being privy to this conversation made me realise the lady proprietor is rude and unkind about her customers and i will not be visiting again If I want a sausage roll I will go to coop

Okay on the plus side this is a very nice little place in an excellent location. We stopped off for a coffee and a cake, both of which were excellent! However the decor. I think, is meant to be a carefully designed collective mix of items to make the place look quaint. Unfortunately this hasn't worked it looks like someone had just visited the local jumble sale and screwed it all to the walls. There are signs everywhere telling customers not to move any furniture ( so we daren't ). Then half way though our stop a lady came in to the room opened the toilet door and shouted " who has put that down there !" ( I might add we had not visited the facilities at this point and after this outburst we daren't even think about it) . It was like an episode of faulty towers. To be honest worth a visit for the comedy value alone.

Stopped for coffee and cake en route cycle ride . Best !!! ....flat white in Norfolk so far - ask for less milk , and flapjack and date slice to die for. In fact we cycled back there again today just for the same. Praise indeed from Mrs Fussybreeches 😎 Would detour anytime to visit again. Thank you!

I use this cafe regularly and can honestly say I've never tasted better Cornish Pasties. All of their food is good to be honest, and is lovingly prepared in an open kitchen. Will continue supporting this great cafe.

We arrived at Reepham gasping for a cup of tea! We were delighted to see Diane's pantry. We had a great relaxing cuppa & cake. The service was very friendly. The tea shop has good things to sell, as well as offering food & drink....

Forty years ago I was a salesman, calling on the farms around Reepham. I often stopped in the marketplace to buy a sandwich for my lunch. This time, a lifetime later, I sat and enjoyed coffee and cake, overlooking the market place, remembering those faraway...

We visited Diane's Pantry during our cycling holiday. We had a lovely breakfast. Friendly staff. We sure enjoyed our visit.

We stopped here for a mid-morning break - and to get out of the freezing cold wind! It was lovely and warm inside which was perfect. As you go in there are shelves either side with a good variety of dry goods and lovely deli...
