La Petite in Norwich

I was looking for somewhere to have a pot of tea and do a little work and stumbled on this little cafe. What a lovely place - felt really friendly, warm and cosy! The world needs more independent cafes like this!

Excellent homemade cake with really good tasting tea and coffee. Friendly service from the staff/owner and really made to feel valued as a customer. I would definitely recommend. Well done and thank you.

Best sausage roll money can buy

Amazing cakes and sandwich lunches to takeaway or eat in. Anna is a star baker and the petite atmosphere is perfect for meeting friends at lunchtime - which I do regularly. Reluctant to announce best cheese scones in the world in case they run out before I get there 😀. I am your best cheese scone customer. See you later today and thanks again for another lovely year of La Petite. Xx

Fantastic sausage roll and plumb cake. Coffee is very weak, but 5 stars if you're a tea drinker.

La Petite is an absolute gem. The staff are friendly, the Pork sausage rolls are the best I've ever eaten whilst away from home and the apple crumble cake was superb. Thank you Ladies. Cheers

The best blueberry scone I've ever had. Maybe even the best scone I've ever had!

What a lovely cafe i always walk past this place and look at the yummy cakes on display in the window. I thought must try this place one day so popped in. Friendly lady who took my order. Had a lovely pot of tea with a blueberry cheesecake which was delicious. Nice selection of hot and cold drinks. Lovely selection of cakes and snacks on offer. It was very reasonably priced and they offer takeaway too as many people popped in while I was enjoying my food. Very small eating area but nice setting and a great location. Will have to return and sample some more yummy treats soon.

Walked in but noticed that all cakes et.c, were uncovered and in the window close by the door. Looked lovely but it did not look right to have all the cakes exposed in such a manner in the window, open to street dust and summer flies

Best coffee shop in town. The cheese scones are divine

Amazing sort of cakes to choose. Very delicious.

Warm welcome as always, lovely coffee, and superb, tasty, homemade sausage rolls, our favourite stop when in the Anglia Square area.

A small independent coffee shop offering an excellent variety of homemade cakes, scones and freshly made filled rolls/sandwiches to eat in or take out. The best cheese scones in Norwich.

Very good coffee and great cakes.

OMG the chocolate cake was so good. Like beyond my comprehension good. Go there. Find the cook. Marry them.

Good service, coffee, selection of cakes and pastries. Might be petite but definitely worth a visit.

Lovely cafe! Coffee tastes great, food (especially the scones and sausage rolls) are very tasty, and the interior is really nice! Accessing the toilet is a bit confusing at first admittedly lol but regardless it's a great place! Staff are very friendly too haha ;)

Awesome cakes cooked on the premises Coffee is pretty good too

Very pleased with the service lovely food and coffee will be back soon

Very nice little cafe and every time we have been food has always been very tasty. Also the lady who owns it is very nice!

Wow! Everyone loved the cake. Thanks for the beautiful and delicious cake. Love everything about it.

Really lovely little cafe with amazing cheese scones and fabulous cakes!

Called in here with my daughter for mid morning refreshments. The array of cakes on offer looked fabulous, all homemade by the proprietor. I had a fruit scone which was excellent and my daughter enjoyed her (big) slice of carrot cake. Sausage rolls looked good too so maybe next time. A really good little independent cafe.

I had the most delicious rocky road brownie with honeycomb. Sat inside and had a nice latye with it.

quaint little coffee shop lovely cakes sausage rolls excellent coffee and different shops all around like antiques shops.

Para el café y el pastel de la mañana, o para el almuerzo (llegar temprano), este café y su encantador propietario es un lugar para encontrar y visitar. Nuestro ir - al restaurante cuando visite Norwich. Escondido en la calle Magdellan, encuéntralo y disfruta de un viaje por el carril de los recuerdos. No hay tiendas elegantes o cadenas de tiendas nacionales aquí. Pero genial para recuerdos y ropa vintage. Treinta minutos pasados aquí te dejarán relajado y relajado. Solo Norfolk puede hacer eso. Si tiene hambre, pruebe el BLT y agregue un rollo de salchicha. De lo contrario, comparta un sándwich y un pastel. Los bollos de fruta son para morirse. Necesito decir no más, compruébalo por ti mismo. Pero llega temprano.

A cute little coffee shop with delicious homemade pastries, cakes, sausage rolls and soups. Highly recommended!

What an amazing find, just out on my own doing a little shopping and I needed some refreshment. Lovely service ,smooth coffee and the best cake ever. Meringue,apple and blueberry bake was so tasty.

El servicio fue excelente y la comida buena. No fue una gran elección cuando fuimos, pero mi porción de pizza era excelente y la ensalada añadida muy sabrosa. Vale la pena venir a tomar un aperitivo o tal vez una rebanada del pastel de aspecto encantador.

Wonderful little coffee shop. Everything here is home made and delicious. Soups, sausage rolls and cakes are just lovely. A real gem in Magdalen Street - great place to spend a quiet half hour.

La semana pasada fue la segunda vez que visité La Petite. Valió la pena la visita. Mi esposo y yo comimos bollos de queso recién horneados todavía calientes. Regresamos a almorzar y comimos un panini encantador cada uno. Mis hijas tenían excelentes sándwiches de ensalada de pollo.Luego tuvimos una fantástica bandeja de manzana y merengue. Mi esposo disfrutó tanto el pastel de zanahoria que pensó que era lo mejor que tenía.El café es de buena calidad, todos los pasteles son horneados por el amable propietario del establecimiento. Recomiendo una visita.

Amazingly delicious homemade food, great service, reasonably priced too! What else can you wish for? :) Thank you for looking after us every time we are there, Anna!

Just had the most amazing cake here! Maybe the most delicious ever!! 10/10

Tomé una taza de té y un delicioso pastel de chocolate. La elección del pastel es excelente y todo hecho por el propietario. El café está encantadoramente amueblado y decorado. Parecía que el dueño tenía bastantes clientes habituales y uno podía ver por qué. Todo el lugar tiene un ambiente agradable y acogedor.

Lovely place and very good value

Small intimate independent cafe. Homemade cakes and scones. Selection of filled rolls.

I have got gluten free stuff here ,that was so yummy.

Takeaway coffees are £1.20 before 11am at the moment, grab a tasty one and whilst your there a sausage roll non veg or veg, you decide. All good.

Visité por segunda vez hoy.Tuve un bollo de queso, mi marido la fruta, ambos absolutamente deliciosos. En la última visita, comí un plato de sopa de arvejas, chorizo y parmesano caseras que era igual de deliciosa.Cafe está dirigido por una señora muy amable y acogedora.Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveré a visitar.

Lovely little cafe run personally by the owner. Gorgeous homemade cakes and scones. We go there every week.

Just popped in for a sausage roll and a coffee. My wife and I enjoyed the visit and my wife insists it was the best sausage roll she has ever had! Friendly and quick service from the young lady who apparently bakes everything herself.

Brilliant little cafe serving lovely cakes with a smile.

Popped in on a whim for a coffee and got tempted by the delicious looking cakes. Lovely little cafe thankfully independent with friendly prompt service and lovely cakes . Will definitely call in again and can highly recommend.

Entramos en un día húmedo y ventoso para tomar un café rápido, solo para ser atraídos por los fantásticos productos. Optamos por los rollos de salchicha, cerdo y manzana, fueron sublimes. Las tartas caseras se veían tan increíbles que decidimos tomar un trozo de la tarta de zanahoria y fue fabuloso. Gran valor también. Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta

Think I've finally found my afternoon hiding spot. Quiet and chilled out atmosphere is just what the doctor ordered.

Delicious sandwiches/cakes, nice atmosphere and the service was wonderful!

Popped into this little coffee shop to kill time waiting for an appointment. It was a pleasant surprise! Light, airy, tastefully set out and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and the pastries, cakes and snacks on display looked amazing!!

A tiny place in a colourful part of town, beautifully appointed, friendly service, ideal for one or two wanting a quiet, light bite.

Yummy homemade cookies and very good coffee

La Petite is as its name suggests a small café on Magdalen Street but it is a very pleasant place to stop and have a drink and homemade cake or scone. The atmosphere is very French with potted geranium and other plants around making it feel very homely.

Stopped in for a little breakfast porridge with fruit and nuts with coffee. The porridge was delicious, and beautifully presented with berries in the oats and topped with crushed walnuts, sliced banana and sliced kiwi fruit all sprinkled with poppy seeds.

A delightful independent small cafe on Magdalen Street. I try to call in when passing on Fridays for one of Annas delicious cheese scones and pot of tea...

Delicious coffee and some fantastic pastries available. Couldn't ask for much more from this little cafe.

The display of cakes in the window lured us into this lovely independent coffee shop. My husband and I like a good latte and we were not disappointed. Taste and temperature were just right (I like mine hot so the coffee doesn't go cold while you eat) . Equal to any of the other specialist coffee shops. The toasted panini was tasty as was the lovely vegetarian roll and the gluten free almond,fig and honey cake, which was so yummy we bought some to take home, along with a cheese and a fruit scone. All made on the premises and still crispy crunchy fresh and tasty. It was nice to talk to the owner who explained they wanted to make their food the best it could be. A lovely find.

Called in for breakfast on a Saturday.Opens at 10 am. Huge range of home baked food from sausage rolls to cakes. we had filled omelettes (the best prepared we have had in a UK restaurant). Lovely coffee. Definitely worth a visit. Really nice staff.

The sandwiches were the best we have had bar none. The bread is delicious and the coffee was of a very high standard

Beautiful little cafe with cute vintage-esque decor! Lovely food including Ciabattas packed full of yummy fresh ingredients! Most certainly try the sausage rolls and one of the many cakes! None will disappoint!! A little gem on Magdalen street with fantastic staff! Be sure to stop by and say hello x

This little gem is under new management but still kept in the family.

Near the centre of the city, this small café is a delight. I chanced on it as I walked down Magdalen Street, a lively and interesting area with a great mix of people. I was lured in, just minutes after opening time, by the array of home cooked foods in the window. I was told that the sausage rolls were still warm so had no hesitation in asking for one. Warm sausage rolls score very high as ‘grazing food’ in my estimation, outranked only by warm bread. I usually drink a skinny latte but on my first visit to a coffee house I always order an Americano, as I did here, so that I can taste the quality of the coffee.

What a great place for a coffee, a cup of tea, a cake, a sandwich, soup all rounded of by pleasant and friendly staff and ambience.

I've been eyeing this establishment for a while now, having often walked past and admired the purportedly homemade cakes and scones in the window. First disappointment was finding it closed at a quarter to nine in the morning. The sign on the door claimed opening at eight. The window was loaded with, clearly fresh, produce so maybe it was going to open. Fortunately I had another task in Magdalen Street so there was an opportunity to return half an hour later. I'm glad I did. The coffee was of good quality and the scones, with a crisp crust and nicely flavoured fluffy insides, worth tasting. The staff were friendly and several of the other patrons clearly regulars. It's a nice location from where one can watch the comings and goings of Magdalen Street. The only disappointment was the terribly cheap quality paper napkins. I shall certainly return in the future.

Fabulous coffee, homemade cakes and pastries, sandwiches made to order. Small, but very welcoming.....would rather support an independent coffee shop that offers first class food and service, than the big names!!!!

I am not too fond of the Magdalene Street area but it has such quirky shops decided to go exploring one Saturday. The weather turned horrid so decided to treat myself to somethinig homely. The outside is a bit of a deception as the inside is really charming. There were lovely aromas of coffee beans, home cooking so I really got settled in watching the rain. Their latte was superb and as for the cakes - spoilt for choice but in the end plumped for the scones as I am a bit of a connoisseur and was not disappointed. Definitely home made and was so impressed stayed on for some more! What a little find.

Cakes are made on site and they are superb. Fantastic service. Lovely clean and cosy cafe in an interesting part of the city. Great for a break whilst visiting the many vintage shops on Magdalen St.

We were wandering down Magdalen Street and fancied a coffee. This place is a little gem! I had an Americano and my partner a Latte. We shared a cake. Delicious! Just a small place, but worth a visit. Very reasonably priced

Quaint little coffee shop with friendly staff. The food is really fresh and tasty but unfortunately each time we have visited they have very little food left to sell!

The owner is inspirational. The food is fresh and unadulterated. As it should be. If you are in Norwich, then make your way down Magdalene Street and seek La Petite out. You'll be so glad you did. We'll definitely be returning.

My husband and I stopped here for a short rest whilst spending a few hours in Anglia Square.

My wife and I love this cafe . It is a pleasure to eat here. Great home baking and wonderful hot coffee ......the best in Norwich ! The cafe is spotlessly clean with a foreign ambiance .The owner is very courteous and polite . Do try the scones which are memorable and her cakes are exquisite ! All the food we see coming out of the kitchen looks an excellent standard , The prices are good too . We keep coming back because we know the standard is so high !

I was actually going to another cafe along Magdalen Street which was closed so thought I'd give this place a try as the cake in the window looked so tempting, it's very small but beautifully presented, there's not a huge menu but you should find something to tempt you from the cake selection which included a gluten free option, there were sausage rolls and sandwiches too.

We happened across this charming little café on our first ever visit to Norwich. We initially noticed it on our way around the city after our trip to the cathedral. The fabulous décor (the owner was an interior designer), and delicious looking cakes in the window enticed us in. We enquired whether the cakes etc were homemade. They were, so we said we would pop back after we toured the city. We returned to La Petite Caffe as promised a few hours later. Thank goodness we did. The lady who owns the business is truly inspirational; the cakes are delicious and as mentioned, all homemade. The coffee is good and the hot chocolate is nice and thick; very chocolatey! We tried three cakes (it was hard to choose as they all looked so good!). One was a delicious gluten free cake which I can honestly say is one of the best I have ever had. A keen baker and cook myself, I can categorically say that it was fantastic; light and moist with good flavours. This wonderful little place is up there on my 'best ever' list and the owner deserves all the recognition she gets. If you love and want good, honest food (without all the additives and poor quality grade ingredients sadly used by many other places today), then you must visit La Petite Caffe.

My husband & I discovered this cafe when walking past & the delightful country style decor plus the tempting fare in the window tempted us in. Since that first visit we have been unable to walk past without first enjoying a cup of coffee & their very special sausage rolls. Everything homemade & delicious & always a welcome by the charming owner

Love this place because of the cake! Beautifully light but not too sweet. Coffee could be a little better but overall lovely place and nicely decorated in the vintage style.

I enjoyed this place so much I have gone to the effort of adding it to Trip Advisor! I was visiting Norwich and just happened across this little café when looking for somewhere for lunch. It looks quite new.
