Littlehaven Coffee Co in Norwich

After seeing the reviews for this place we thought we eould give it a go. So glad we did. Amazing coffee and pastries with friendly service. This is the coffee shop for us in Norwich when we return.

Do not be fazed by repeated graffiti on roll down shutters if closed when you visit - Littlehaven far from abandoned. Best coffee I have found in Norwich, and three different types of hot chocolate; white, dark and light. Recommend the Venezuela hot choc highly. Sandwiches on good bread, generous and creative salads and cosy ambience... A neighbourhood secret too good not to share.

Just outside the city centre and tucked away in a quiet side street, this is such a friendly little cafe. We had a cappuccino and a hot chocolate (my wife was very impressed by the range of hot chocolate on offer). The tables and chairs were comfy (mostly for two people at each table) and the person running it was super kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend it

0 complaints about Littlehaven - the name could not be more appropriate. Cozy and clean, nice coffee, nice atmosphere, friendly customers and attentive host - thank you Simon. Prices are too good for rather bougie yet tasty food. If you don’t want to fund the conglomerates Costa and Starbucks, this is just as good and you’re guaranteed to feel like it’s a much more personal experience. From Scotland, not here long but I will be making sure Littlehaven gets my custom daily while I am here.

Excellent coffee and excellent service. Food very good too.. Decaff especially, very excellent. Thank you Simon!

Lovely coffee shop with amazing food and coffee. Very welcoming, helpful and polite service !! Would definitely go again. ALSO very good prices for generous portions of high quality and tasty food!

Lovely little find, food fresh and yummy. Service friendly... can’t wait to go back and try some more from the menu!

Popped to littlehaven to collect coffees for my family. The best mocha I have ever drank!! Great service...well worth a visit 👍

Lovely find, off the beaten track yet very close to the town centre. Trusted the TripAdvisor reviews and had a great breakfast. Very reasonably priced too. Hit my head on the coffee shelf on the way out; totally my clumsy fault, but watch out when getting up from the window seats.

What an incredible little coffee shop, its a hidden treasure in the city. Went there last night with a few neighbours to experience the amazing food as it opens some evenings as a pop up restaurant. Wonderful service and the food was excellent. The coffee is also the best I have tasted in a long time. I would highly recommend a visit for a coffee, cake or breakfast, and while you are there ask them when the next pop up evening.

Esta es, de lejos, la mejor cafetería / cafetería en el centro de Norwich. El servicio es impecable, profesional, amable, dedicado y concienzudo. La comida es absolutamente deliciosa y los ingredientes son excepcionalmente de alta calidad. La comida es perfecta, de hecho impecable. Una cafetería confiable y confiable, de primera clase. La decoración es elegante y acogedora.Estamos encantados y encantados de haber descubierto este lugar.¡Viva Littlehaven!

Very nice food and good service very lovely evening and nothing was to much for the staff. Definitely recommend

Went in with my daughter for breakfast. It felt welcoming and it is 'small but perfectly formed'. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is warm, nicely presented and spotlessly clean. We chose scramble egg and poached egg on teastboth with extra salmon. Lovely, perfectly cooked and very reasonable with good quality coffee made with organic milk. What's not to like?

Acabo de visitar este pequeño y agradable café. He pasado muchas veces simplemente no he estado. Parece muy pequeño desde el frente. Sin embargo, se abre por la espalda. Disfruté un bollo de frutas, bollo de queso y cebollino y un pastel vegano de chocolate Oreo. Cafés todo el año.Muy agradable. Buen personal también.

This is a wicked little spot if you're looking for something small, chill and cosy. And best of all, proper high quality oily coffee at a reasonable price. Guy who runs the place is friendly and bit of a dude also.

What a lovely little find. A cosy atmosphere. We only intended to have a coffee but the food looked inviting so we had to have breakfast.

Excelente café y el sandwich y panini que tuvimos estaba lleno de sabor y recién preparado. El propietario es amable y, aunque es pequeño, tiene un ambiente encantador y relajado. Aunque nadie en nuestro grupo era vegano, realmente me gusta que todo lo vegano se haya puesto en un tablero de menú adicional.

Stopped in for a yummy breakfast and a coffee. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and served with a generous amount of salmon. Nice chilled atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Small but perfectly formed. Superb produce. Laid back staff. Great vibe. Compact and cool interior and set back location.

Just moved into the area and this place is a great find. The coffee is brilliant. Easy to miss as it is tucked away, but look out for the board on Newmarket Road.

I found this small coffee shop and cafe in Norwich earlier this year and have been popping in to have great coffee and snacks each time I have to be in Norwich for work.

So this is a beautifully intimate little haven literally. Very few seats but it’s beautiful inside and the host was very friendly. Plus the coffee was pretty damn good Worth a visit

Tucked away the college side of St Stephens round the corner from Quasar lies this cute little haven. It even has 30 minute parking outside (big windows allow you to see Mr Parking Man coming!).

Small but perfect. Quiet and welcoming with a homely feel. Food and coffee really good. A god start or finish to a Norwich trip.

Drar her nå 3 ganger i uken og er alltid like fornøyd! Veldig god kaffe og eieren er veldig hyggelig og imøtekommende! Her kan du ha en koselig samtale med venner, eller snakke både med barista og andre gjester. Koselig og intimt! Perfect

I stumbled along this lovely little cafe while my daughter was cricket training round the corner. I’m not familiar with the area and did a cafe search and all that came up was Chapelfield. I found this tranquil, but centre of hubbab cafe, tucked away in a street of terrace houses, what a find! I was in a hurry and was starving and just wanted some take away sandwiches and tea. I could not make my mind up, lots of choices on the menu, the gentleman could not have been more helpful. I will definitely be back when I’m next at cricket.

A warm welcome the moment you walk in, very nicely decorated and a great feel to the place and very relaxed. A wide variety of great coffees and all served perfectly. Delicious food, cakes and sandwiches all fresh and made to order. Highly recommended.

Delicious range of ciabatta sandwiches, baked treats and hot drinks. Littlehaven is a small café with a relaxed and peaceful vibe. Simon is always friendly and easy-going and provides good service.

Couldn’t rate this place any higher. Truly excellent coffee, drinks and food with really friendly, professional staff.

We been living next to this little cafe for few years.

please come and support your local coffee shop, great people, great food. The staff are really welcoming and kind.

My partner dropped me close to where I needed to be for a meeting and pointed out that there was a coffee shop rather then going to sit and wait in costa. I must have walked in at just past 8 and was so happy they were open. It's small but cosy and the coffee was great! The scone was good aswell and a lady makes it for them I believe. It's hidden away just of st Stevens roundabout....good little find!

My local coffee shop, but I have tried most in town. The service is always welcoming and friendly. The coffee is perfect, I buy take away beans and milks at times because the product is so good. The food is well made and tasty. Recommend Littlehaven highly.

I had a great cup of coffee here! They do drip coffee and offer many more methods of having a coffee then the average chain. The man serving me was able to tailor the coffee to my taste e.g. finding out if I like it strong.

Lovely place, lovely man and great coffee -deserves more custom as he really does care about quality

In Norwich for 2 nights stayed down the road from cafe. Went for breakfast both mornings-good coffee, bacon butties, poached eggs and porridge all made to order. Most importantly very friendly and helpful owner who gave us lots of local advice for where to go in Norfolk. Would highly recommend it

Loved this place - it has a rustic feel to it and 'haven' describes it exactly. Nice little peaceful hideaway and the food is superb. The hot chocolate was divine and had the nicest ciabatta ever. They cater for vegetarians and are really obliging and friendly staff.

Just visited Littlehaven and had a delicious porridge made to my requirements with walnuts and banana.

It was good, loved the coffee and I would definitely visit again. Lovely people and lovely atmosphere. Brilliant place.

I brought my little girl and her friends out for hot chocolate on a particularly cold day. It was wonderful. Simon took the orders from each of the girls, matching types of hot chocolate (white /milk /dark) with favoured sugar sprinkles (rose/cinnamon /gingerbread). He made the girls feel very grown up and very special. I had possibly the best cup of coffee in Norwich. A superb experience. The cafe itself is bijoux with seating for 6-10. it is very warm and friendly and has been recently refurbished. It offers a range of cakes, sandwiches -made to order, porridge and soup, as well as coffee. A lovely little cafe with a big heart.

If I could recommend one thing it’s the smoked salmon salad sooooooooo tasty!!! Lovely place and great service!! 😊🙌🏻amazing!!!

Really friendly staff ... great lattes ... great soup ... great food ... Lovely decaf lattes ! Home made cakes! Wide choice sandwiches and paninis ! Love this little cafe !

My wife and I were staying in Norwich for a week at a b&b; around the corner. We get up at 5 normally each morning at home in New York so while away we never manage to get up when breakfast is served. We need coffee to be alive. We discovered Littlehaven 3 years ago and it was a gem of find for our annual visits to the city.

I've been meaning to try this coffee shop for ages and I was not disappointed: rich and flavoursome coffee and a delectable piece of freshly baked, bakewell tart. It is quite small, so ideal for a smaller group or a couple of friends meeting up for a chin wag. My friend had a bacon and avacado sandwich which she also found delicious.

Hadn't had the opportunity to go in since attending my college course but took Mum in for an awesome hot chocolate. Gluten free rolls with cheese n chutney also went down a treat! :-)

Stopped by for early afternoon break. Quiet, which was great. Owner was very helpful. Great coffee and awesome flapjacks! Definitely a place to visit.

What a find. Went in today for a coffee but after looking at menu board decided to stay for lunch.

I visited today for the first time in a while and I wonder why I have not been back sooner. I love a mocha so to be able to choose the chocolate I want was perfect. And the orange and almond cake was just delicious and a very generous slice given as well. It's very small but cosy. Not great for business meetings but as a social place to go I would recommend. Prices are reasonable but the coffee taste is better than any of the larger chains.

Everything is gorgeous! The ciabatta rolls are like fluffy clouds. Great coffee and a lovely owner. Tuna melts are divine and there are so many different but unpretentious teas, coffees and lunches. It really is little and a haven

Love this coffee shop, great tastes and service! Food is good and all reasonably priced. Always stop here when driving through to work/ courses.

Tasty wholesome snacks that are healthy and fresh. A new age bar that I fell upon by accident which is very small and yet somehow very private. I certainly visit again and again after I found it

I've been to a lot of coffee shops in Norwich but you really can not beat these mochas! Every time I get a mocha elsewhere I just think of the one I could have had from here...

Fantastic service, busy little cafe full of life and atmosphere! The food was lovey - especially the spinach and pea soup!! Also try the Aeropress coffee!!! Would definitely recommend and come back again!

The coffee is great and it's also so cosy and comfortable. Run by a friendly gentleman who also serves great food and cakes. Our favourite coffee escape in the city.

Hidden just outside of the city centre, Littlehaven Coffee is a coffee shop gem. Little in terms of space it may be, but the range of sandwich options more than makes up for it - you would need at least a months worth of visits, if not more to sample every filling offered! Various soup and salad options are also available such that you feel more than a little spoilt for choice.

This place is so lovely, tucked away a little towards Newmarket road. They make the best hot chocolates with real chocolate, yum! Definitely worth a visit. Owner is very friendly too

Small and cosy, this cafe serves excellent coffee and delicious snacks. Friendly and knowledgeable barista/chef/general factotum. Reasonable prices. Will definitely visit again.

Best coffee shop in Norwich. Superb coffee, lovely atmosphere and amazing porridge! Go there whenever I can for a small retreat.

I love it here. When I need a place to hide and read, or just think I come here. Decent coffee, quiet place, friendly barista . What else can you ask for from great coffee shop ?)

popped in for a quick break from work,lots of choice in coffee to try and staff helped in choice , cakes looked good although did not try!

Great little place for an excellent breakfast or lunch! Great choice of sandwiches of ciabattas and fantastic coffees and hot chocolates! One of Norwich's little gems!

I wholeheartedly concur with every other excellent review of this place. It simply does everything just right. Since discovering this gem its hard to have coffee anywhere else!

We have patronised Nick's place since he opened; it's always a pleasure to be welcomed there for our Saturday best bacon roll and a cup of delectable coffee. Both food and drink are certainly special; our favourite is the bacon roll - he uses only the best lean bacon in ciabatta bread. And the wonderful flavour of the coffee has to be tasted - it can't adequately be described! There are many different types of coffee available from all over the world.

Was greeted with amazing friendliness as soon as i walked through the door, never been before but felt like i was a regular customer already (I will be now, believe me) and had the nicest cup of coffee ever. looked beautiful and tasted perfect.

This is a great little place to stop and have a good sandwich and a great coffee for breakfast or lunch. really nice people and super coffee.

Great coffee and really amazing service! The food is also pretty tasty! I'm a regular and it's always a nice surprise when Nick remembers my order! Only downside is that's it's so small so there's not always enough seats...

This is the best coffee in Norwich.... I don't know any place in town with such regular customers. We have never had a bad meal here and Nick the owner just makes the place even more worth visiting.

I've been passing by this little coffee shop for a while always intending to pop in and try the coffee. I had seen it come up on trip advisor a few times with great reviews. Well this morning I did pop in and got myself an iced coffee. The cafe is nicely tucked away off the main road and is so cute that I kicked myself for not visiting sooner and making it a regular catch up venue with friends. I was warmly greeted and served quickly. The coffee, tea and hot chocolate selection is very good. So many variations of hot chocolate. Lots of food options too all individually displayed on a board held by magnets. Not to mention fresh cakes on display.

Would make any coffee lover happy. Awesome coffee, plenty of different of sandwiches/cakes and staff is very friendly as well. Overall had very good experience, highly recommended.

Since starting my new job, it makes me a little sad that my walk to work no longer includes a visit to Littlehaven. Nick was always very friendly and is passionate and knowledgeable about his trade. He geeks out over coffee and would make a mean sandwich. The hot chocolate is also very delicious! I used to go quite regularly and never had a bad experience.

I absoloutly love this little cafe ! Nick is extremely welcoming and friendly and you always feel comfortable , there is a wide range of hot chocolate ,coffees and teas .Also ,I would highly reccommend the bacon rolls they are delicious. Although its not in the city centre its pretty easy to find - a real hidden jem.

Excellent coffee and wonderful service. Welcoming environment. Wide choice of coffee and tea. Small selection of tempting goodies. Located a short walk from the heart of the city centre, it is a quiet side street but definitely worth tracking it down.

Extremely good service, wonderful coffee and hot chocolate and Nick's lovely personality. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I lovely little coffee shop slightly off the beaten track just outside Norwich city centre, probably around 10 mins walk from the bus station. This is a small place with only 3 or 4 tables but it provides a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The gentleman serving when we visited was really friendly and clearly has pride in his work. The tea and brownie I had was lovely (the Teapigs tea here is around 30p cheaper than some of the city centre cafes) and my other half really enjoyed his coffee and raspberry muffin. If you are a coffee fan it is worth seeking out as there are lots of options and this place has a reputation for quality.

If you love coffee as much as we do you will love Littlehaven. Nick can answer any question on coffee and is happy for you to try different coffees made in different ways (espresso, Aeropress, filter) so you can compare. The cakes are lovely though I would like a cheese scone! The Pea and spinach soup is also recommended. Very small cafe but that makes it very friendly. Well worth a visit.

So close to the city centre, but a nice little oasis where a warm welcome, great coffee and tasty light lunches are pretty much guaranteed. Places like this are a rarity - go in and support them and make sure they keep going - we love it :-))

I've been visiting Norwich for years and had always been disappointed that there weren't any cafes serving great coffee. Luckily I had a look on Trip Advisor and found Littlehaven. It's a couple of minutes from St Stephens, by the old hospital, and it is worth the walk. Both my espresso and cappuccino were excellent. I was going out for lunch so only had a croissant but all of the food looked good - especially the bacon rolls. There isn't a huge amount of space inside but it was cosy and comfortable. The owner is really friendly too.

Best coffee shop I've ever been too. Aero press is available and tastes amazing. Chap knows his beans and coffee for sure. Highly worth a visit!

If I have to choose the best coffee I had in Norwich, the one in Littlehaven would be the one. It is a small and cosy place where you can also find delicious pastries and cakes (I particular recommend orange and almond cake). The owner is very friendly. It's worth to visit!

Have been to Littlehaven for enjoyable trips multiple times. Very friendly owner with a good knowledge of coffee. Great little breakfast and small lunch snacks on offer (particular recommend the Brie, bacon & chutney ciabatta) and a great range of hot drinks. Can't praise this place highly enough!

if you like your coffee as much as I do then this cafe has got to be the place to go. One of the best places in Norwich to enjoy the bean in many guises, the owner certainly knows his trade and takes the time to explain to the not so well versed.

This little coffee shop is the best. I visited whilst in Norwich and went back nearly every day, service is always with a smile, coffee is excellent. The oat and raspberry muffins are fab. Definitely reccomend a visit.

I've been coming to the Littlehaven for a long time and figured I should write a review! The coffee is consistently excellent and it is my personal favourite coffee shop in in Norwich. There is also a good range of tasty sandwiches and cakes, which make for a lovely lunch. All in a very friendly environment.

Finally made it here after their summer break. A very cosy little place and symptomatic of many similar bars springing up in Norwich right now. Good coffee and a friendly welcome with the only downside from my point of view being that it's not on my route into work. Deserves the good reviews that it has already garnered.

Nice enough little cafe. People seem to come for the coffee, which I can't comment on, not being an expert. So, judging it on food, tea and atmosphere alone, I'd have to say that it's fourth for me in Norwich, after The Window (fab, friendly atmosphere and location), The Greengrocer (amazing food lovely staff) and Cafe Marzano (location, opening hours and choice of beverages). In short, if you're not a coffee-obsessive (and even if you are I'm reliably informed that The Window is some of the best coffee in the UK) then this is a bit out of the way to trek over to (I tried three times before I could find it, and then find it open) if you're on a visit to Norwich.

I visited this place because of its good reviews in this website. The reality surpassed my expectations by far. Coffee is strong, acid, but flavorful, probably the best you can have in Norwich. Cakes are gentle to the palad, intense in flavor, humid...honestly, the best cakes I've ever had. 2 coffee, 1 brownie and 1 sponge cake costed around 7,5£, that excellent not only compared with other place in the sorroundings, but also because its high quality.

This is hidden away - so have to look out for it. And if in the city centre it is worth the 5 mins walk.

This little place serves great coffee and food. I went for an iced coffee as it was very hot outside. Perfect accompaniment to my bacon panini which had top quality bacon in it. The service is very friendly and efficient. The prices are also good value. Worth tracking down when in Norwich!

Off the beaten track but well worth the journey. The service was friendly and coffee was great we even bought a bag of the coffee beans we enjoyed it that much.

As a regular user of Little Haven I felt having read the last review that a semblance of normality should resume. I will visit every time I am in the city and yesterday was no exception. My usual coffee and muffin was great as ever. It was busy so just shared a table with another customer and joined in the chat and banter with customers and staff alike. I had just been for a run so was a little warm but had changed my shirt however this did not go unnoticed and was certainly not issue. I will as ever visit again and encourage anyone to do the same. And when you have been we can all go round to Newbedouins house and they can wash my sweaty running gear unless of course they have a sign up already saying that you are not allowed to do that. They are correct of course when they say it doesn't take much time or intellect to calculate the cost of electricity, it takes far less intelligence of course to ensure your laptop is charged before you go out and if your work depends on it one could suggest is essential. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but base reviews on the service provided not the ability to charge your personal electronic devices

This is a pretty little cafe, with good food and drink. But I think it's raved about more because of the scarcity of decent, independent places in Norwich, rather than it being completely amazing. It was pretty standard for parts of London or bigger cities. Nice food and drink though.

What's not to like. A Flat White to die for Your life will less perfect for not drinking one of these gems here Seriously Then there's the ciabattas They're in the Premier league of ciabattas, seriously

After reading other reviews on TripAdvisor I thought I would try Littlehaven and I wasn't disappointed. A surprisingly central location given the size and how quiet it was, it's a very pleasant place to spend an afternoon (today getting out of the rain).

My partner and I have been to Littlehaven a few times and have always received great service. I wouldn't say we are regulars but the owner recognised us and remembered that my partner had enquired about the aeropress coffee on our first trip, which was really nice. It is always quite busy but we are never kept waiting very long. The coffee is excellent and the chocolates are made with real chocolate making them extrememly sweet. I would recommend this little coffee shop to anyone.

Truly THE best coffee. This place ticks all the boxes from great coffee, superb Muffins, and friendliness. It's good to get to know the owner and rapport building should be top of the list to encourage customers to return. Again, most definitely we will return and tell others about it.

I put my hand up to say I am biased here as I had the pleasure of working with Nick before he had this coffee shop. I found him on a social media site and dropped in to see him. The coffee and croissant were superb and Nick is a nice person to know. I will be going back and advise anyone in the area to do so as well. Shows what someone can do with a bit of initiative, this is not a franchise.

this place is hidden away a bit, off the top of Newmarket Rd, but it is really worth checking out. The coffee is the best I have had in Norwich, the muffins from Pye Bakery are fab, as are the homemade scones and brownies. And the owner is so lovely and friendly. This deserves to be hugely successful in its tiny way - I love that no one knows about it, but on the other hand it should be on your map of Norwich and you should go there soon and often!

This is a fantastic little coffee shop, serving truly the best coffee in Norwich. I absolutely love my coffee and i have to say this place is amazing and one of my absolute favourite places to go! Owner is lovely and has a kind of homely feel!! Keep doing what your doing its working!!

I swear Norwich has more great independent coffee places per capita than any other city in the Uk. I just keep finding more. Anyway Littlehaven is exactly that, a quiet little place just off the busy Newmarket road and a haven for coffee lovers everywhere. I love the coziness of this cafe and the fact that it's so close to me, but the service is excellent too and the coffee - magnificent. It's also a great place for coffee nerds, offering drip brew coffee makers that wouldn't look out of place in a mad scientist's lab and a range of lunches and cakes that look scrumptious. Highly recommended.

The best places often take a bit of finding, which is the case with Littlehaven, but if you appreciate artisan coffee and food it's so worth it!
