Guist General Store in Breckland

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Village Café after its stunning refit, and I can't praise it enough! The fresh, modern country decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious! Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast or a light lunch, there's something for everyone on the menu. The café also features a delightful shop with a selection of local goods and unique finds, making it a perfect spot to pick up a little something special. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about ensuring a wonderful experience for every guest. With great prices that won’t break the bank, the Village Café is a hidden gem that I highly recommend. It’s definitely deserving of a five-star rating!

Haven't been yet!! but I am this weekend... and to all the "nay sayers'' I'm going not prove you all WRONG!! YOU must have been having a bad day if you think the coffee was bad etc or the staff were rude. Village stores pride them selves of both good food and lovely staff... I'm looking forward to it....!

After living locally now for a year. Ive made 3 separate journeys to this shop in the mornings to get milk, and they never have it! Its such a basic item that should be in stock all the time! No idea what rest of service/food like. Sure its great, but no milk in stock in 2023! Come on, its not post war britain 😂

Lovely shop and cafe. Lovely staff and lovely fruit cake.

Severely overpriced, flat white that tasted more like instant coffee, and when we went back on our way home to complain about the coffee, we were given a very frosty response and no offer of a free coffee in its place! If you’re charging £3.50 for a flat white, I expect it to be good quality and also expect A better customer service response that I was given!

This is perhaps the most 'woke' village store in Norfolk, coffee is Luke warm and the staff very opinionated. Nothing like the village stores I knew as a boy in Norfolk. Sad old place. Go and take a visit and see what I mean

Popped in Saturday morning to be spoken to very rudely by a completely disinterested lady who belittled me after I asked a simple question about the cafe.

A nice, Clean and homely store for the essentials, great coffee, fair prices and polite staff, a great little stop off whether it's for a cuppa and cake or for a pint of milk and TRoll... Great selection of local distilled gins and produce too

Excellent and very helpful staff.

Wow. Met a friend of ours as we're from Sussex and this was local to her. Such friendly staff, well stocked shop, wonderful service, and the cafe at the back is simply wonderful. Well done to everyone concerned. It's so easy to take a local store like this for granted. Amazing

Nice little shop, friendly staff

Stopped off on the way to Gressenhall in need of tea and bacon rolls. Service with a smile and friendly staff along with a large pot of tea and good bacon rolls. Perfect!

Stopped off there earlier today and had a very nice bacon roll. Nice thick tasty bacon (not the cheap kind). Coffee was very nice too. Staff were friendly. The whole atmosphere was relaxed. Could do with a bit more parking but that's a minor niggle.

Nice people, good service and really good food.

Great place. Just popped in for bacon and cheese baguette and coffees while working around the corner. Had lots of choice and all the syrups for coffees including my fav gingerbread. Even managed to get a copy of world of interiors magazine. Very English shop and exactly what you need whether passing by or stopping for a bite to eat.

The sandwiches and toasties are really nice the tea is great. The staff are really friendly. Not over priced. So clean and tidy.

Really lovely hidden gem. Prices are really good. Coffee is so nice and hot chocolate. Cake is very moist and taste so nice

Tucked neatly on the main road you probably would blink and miss this tasty treat. A convenient local shop and post office but hiding away at the back is a lovely café. Clean, fresh and bright with lovely decor throughout. I opted for a white hot chocolate, well, I wish it had been a bottomless cup! It was amazing, as was the cake. All fresh and home made, the cake alone is definitely worth going in for! The staff were all welcoming and friendly, with smiles on their faces. Reasonably priced as well, even more reason to go again!

What a little gem , set in the cute village of Guist. Very good coffee, excellent cake and friendly service , plus the sheltered our door area make this a place to return too.

Fantastic service today with a very big smile

Beautifully laid out. Cosy and convenient. Good to support local businesses.

Love this Post Office and the friendly vibe! They offer so much more than a postal service! Their friendly local advice and chat is second to none- great little spot for lunch and wifi.

Possibly the worst service you would ever get from a post office. I purposely try to avoid using them in favour of post offices further away. Absolute jobsworths.

Whenever I am going from Norwich to Fakenham and need a post office I make a stop here. The advantage is there is no half day or lunchtime closing, plus parking is easy. Also collect some locally baked fresh bread.

Always use the Guist post office when I am passing through. Very helpful staff, wish they had most stock on the shelves as then would use it more.
