Mere Moments in South Norfolk

As my heading states. Friendly smiling staff. Very reasonable prices. Nice drinks, I highly recommend this establishment to everyone.

Visited two week ago and we simply could not hear ourselves speak. At first we presumed other customers were making this racket (we had our backs to the room) but later realised it was the staff! Three of them all making such a noise talking to each other, it spoilt our lunch and we had to shout at each other to be heard.

This is a very relaxing cafe. The outlook over the Mere is probably one of the best in the town. Coffee and cakes are delicious and there is plenty of space between the tables. We were not rushed.

Gluten free, vegan, diabetic you name it, they have them all! As for the coffee, well that was superb too! A must revisit!

There was a good choice of dishes including specials. It was a cold day so I had a hot drink but my friends chose cold fruit drinks which they recommended. Service was quick and friendly.

we had eaten here last year & it was good. think the owners have changed as the service & food was average, nothing special. still had to go up the winding stairs to the toilet which could have been cleaner. rather disappointing.

Went into mere moments earlier today, about 35 minutes before the stated closing time for a quick coffee and a bite of cake. Went in an sat down only to be told we only had 15 minutes to eat and leave and would this be long enough. So we got up to leave and informed the waitress/owner that her website says she's open till 4pm just so she was aware and to stop any further confusion. We got a very rude, arrogant and snappy response, therefore I shall not be returning, manners cost nothing (and costa shall be getting a lot more business).

my husband ordered cauliflower cheese - what part of cauliflower cheese is 'grey'?? it was awful. virtually no cauliflower, and the 'cheese' sauce was grey and tasted horrid. when the proprietor was told, no apology was given and her only concern was that we wouldn't pay for it. We did but we wont be back! Avoid this place.

A very friendly atmosphere. Staff very attentive and helpful. Lovely selection of food and excellent cakes. Highly recommend

We had gone for a good coffee and cake in one of the local coffee shops rather than the larger groups. The coffee was ok and so was the cakes if a little over done. Unfortunately the service wasn't great they gave us coffee creamer not fresh milk or cream. But the disappointing part was the state of the upstairs where the toilet are, not very nice to visit at all.

Lovely coffee and great cakes, even an idea of how many slimming world 'syns' in a couple of the cakes. Friendly service, will definately return to this coffee/Lunch shop!

the staff were all friendly and made conversation, the food is home cooked and delicious a great choice of food from a small place, excellent.

Although closing time was on show as four o'clock we were refused entry at twenty to four in a very off hand manner . We won't bother to try again

We had lunch at Mere Moments. There is a good selection of dishes on the menu. We opted for toastie & prawn baguette. Both were delicious & filling. I was most impressed with their collection of cakes. I am lactose intolerant so can rarely find cakes which I can eat. This cafe had cakes which were suitable for vegans, diabetics, slimmers & gluten free. In fact they had 2 choices for each of these diets. I don't know why more cafes don't do this as we all like to enjoy a nice cake!

Such a wonderful cafe. We came here on our holiday for lunch. The ladies were very friendly and allowed us to take our puppy to the outside seating area in the back. The sandwiches here are amazing and their milkshakes are to die for. We would highly recommend this cafe and hopefully we will be back on our next holiday

This looked a really good choice, great welcome on arrival. Made aware, that this is a cash only establishment.

Llamé para comer y estaba muy decepcionado. La sopa estaba bastante sosa y fue destinado a ser acompañados con los desconchados de baguette. Estos resultaron ser tres muy, muy pequeñas piezas de un bollo de pan, literalmente tres bocados. Aunque dos expatriados de mantequilla, solo necesitaba una (y aún había algo de esto a la izquierda. Pedí un queso sandwichera y sólo sabía que era de queso por la vista, por desgracia no gusto. El pan estaba tan delgado como es posible conseguir un pedazo. Este fue acompañado con la más básica alad' - un poquito de un pequeño tomate, lechuga y unos algunos pedazos de zanahoria rallada y espolvoreado con el maíz que sabía como enlatada. Las botellas de aderezo poner sobre la mesa eran poco apetecible en apariencia. Intenté pagar con tarjeta pero me dijeron que no era posible, no había ninguna señal. Mientras yo estaba esperando para comer y había un montón de ruido personal desde la cocina. No objeto de divertirse en el trabajo personal, pero en este caso preferiría ponen sus esfuerzos para proveer a los clientes con la comida de mejor calidad. No hace falta decir que no volveré. Hay sitios mucho mejores en Diss para comer.

Conocí a mi madre para café en Diss hoy. Decidimos ir a este café. Qué estupenda elección. El personal era muy amable y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos. Había una fantástica selección de deliciosos pasteles y un gran número de diferentes bebidas calientes. Estos eran increíblemente bueno y a un precio muy razonable. Sin duda volveremos. Muchas gracias. Fue un verdadero placer visitar tu café maravilloso.

Me paré con un amigo y ella dos niños, y todos salimos sonrientes y completa.

Hemos estado vuelve aquí ocasionalmente por algún tiempo ahora, pero pensamos que merece una mención especial. El personal es siempre amable, conocen a sus clientes habituales. Recientemente, sirve una de las mejores esponjas victoria siempre hoy fue albaricoque flapjack, y que también era delicioso. La gama de pasteles incluye sin gluten, vegetariano y dietético para quien lo desee, para diabéticos. La próxima vez, ansiosos de Stilton y chaqueta de Apple de patatas. Pasa Costa (lo puede conseguir en cualquier lugar) y apoyo de negocios locales.

Metimos en hoy después de recibir información sobre la increíble copa unicorn! No nos decepcionó. Personal, buen servicio y un montón de chispa 🦄

Siempre una cálida bienvenida cuando vas. Té y café siempre buena. Pasteles deliciosos. Buena relación calidad-precio.

We popped in here on my lunch hour - service was very quick and the food was brilliant. There is a large selection of sandwiches in various forms and they made it to order. The prices were on par with what I would pay for homemade sandwiches. I had some takeaway coffee cake (also amazing!) as we were strapped for time for me to get back to work. We will definitely use again!!

We popped in for a light lunch during my daughter's lunch hour. Warm friendly staff. A large menu of sandwiches, toasties, paninis, salads, jacket potatoes,homemade soups (5 kinds) and sausage rolls , all made to order and staff are willing to adapt the options. Sandwiches of all styles come with Kettle crisps or salad, jacket potatoes with salad. We had coffee and a milkshake (which was quite large). They also had a variety of homemade scones (cheese and fruit), cakes, millionaire's shortbread etc to which looked delicious. A variety of breakfast dishes were available until 11am.The wait for our food was minimal. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will return another time and sample more of the menu.

Came here in our lunch hour, ended up having to have it to take away as service was so slow, even though they weren't busy. Jacket potatoes were the worst I have ever had. Really hard & tasted awful as was the salad & filling. Was starving as has nothing else to eat. Toilets are unbelievably awful, don't have disabled access as up a spiral staircase & through a flat that I wouldn't let my worst enemy stay in.Definitely won't be visiting again.

We called in to Mere Moments for a coffee last week and what a delight - both my husband and I chose a sausage roll each to accompany our drinks - Skinny Latte Double Shot and an amazing Amaretto Thick Shake - the sausage rolls were delicious - freshly baked that morning - I can't recommend them enough - we will definitely be back Mere Moments :-)

Went with my husband to Diss to find somewhere for breakfast. We chose Mere Moments - it wasn't too busy and having ordered 2 large cooked breakfasts we soon received the pot of tea for two. A few more people arrived and after 20mins my husband asked how much longer the breakfast would be. Blank look & then asked what was the order. We said forget it & would not take payment for the tea. Which was a small plus point in their favour. We left and found another cafe where we got a full english - that included sausages for lower price & cooked in under 15 mins. Will not use Mere Moments again & not sure hoe they won a retail award. Very poor service.

We just stopped for a lunchtime bite to eat. Staff are very friendly and even put a table up outside for us as we wanted to enjoy the sun. The scones we had were delicious and the Amaretto milk shake was naughty but nice as they say.Well worth a stop if you fancy light bites and a refreshing drink.Prices are very reasonable and the food always nicely presented.

this was a lovely place to come and enjoy a relaxing coffee n cake.i will definitely be returning to this amazing place

Met a friend here during her lunch hour, and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service and the choice and quality of food. There was a choice of three homemade soups and a good variety of other hot food, plus cold bites. Very pleasant staff, delicious soup, all round a good place for lunch. Will definitely return. Very reasonable prices too.

Just heading there yet again - cannot fault staff, food, atmosphere EVERYTHING!!THE best cafe in Diss by a mile or more.Super responses to requests, no hesitation. Just love Mere Moments.Thankyou

I love this little café, certainly better than the mainstream expensive Costa or Starbucks.The hot chocolate is amazing, I go there just for that, I've had many hot chocolates that are meant to be amazing from Italy and Switzerland and the ones served here are nicer. Yummy home made cake, polite staff, nothing to serious but after all its a little café not a 5* fine dining restaurant!

We like to support local independents so called in for a light bite lunch. We were the only customers and after a while ordered drinks and food. The drinks came fairly quickly but then waited ages for the food. This was served by the lady from the kitchen still wearing blue gloves !!!!!!! Excuse for the delay was that the order hadn't gone to the kitchen !!!!!! How that could be possible when only two ladies were working there is a mystery !!!!!! The food was ok but certainly nothing special. Whilst we ate our meal we were then subjected to quite a loud discussion between the staff and we think other family members who had arrived. Very unprofessional !!!!! If that was award winning there could not have been much competition. !!!!!!!!Get your act together smarten the place up and be professional.

Very cosy and friendly place to eat, jacket potatoes lovely and well presented, Shame they can't open the upstairs to make it bigger and more accessible, ( toilets need upgrading too)

We call in here every time we are in Diss. Tea and Coffee both very good and the home- maid scones ,deilicious. Staff so welcoming.

Popped in for scones and coffee. Good, friendly service. Nice coffee. Tasty scones. Simple really. Worth seeking out.

No it's not a spelling mistake! This came about because a customer couldn't decide between a cheese or fruit scone so the owner came up with a "swavoury" scone, one half is cheese and the other is fruit - very filling it is too! This cafe is in the middle of Mere Street and although not very big inside there is also an outside seating area overlooking the delightful mere and some seats on the street too. They also sell sandwiches and soups as well as other items. Another individual cafe along with a few others in the town which all serve customers different needs and tastes!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place staff fantastic nothing to much trouble, if they can they will. Cakes are marvellous and home made soup to die for. Go here regularly :)

Missing a good cappucino so will need a fix when back on Saturday. Please book a table for Val at 11.30.

This is run by to local ladies and is always welcoming. Recommend the double scone made on the premises, half cheese half fruit.

No wonder they have received an award as best independent outlet.The coffee was excellent and the menu catered for vegetarian and adapted for vegan very easily. The cakes were very appealing and fresh.Well done to the owners no wonder the public flock to you.

Always try and pop in here when I can. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and there is a very good atmosphere both from staff and customers alike.Food is always freshly cooked and plentiful and represents excellent value for money.It's easy to see how they won service with a smile and the place I cannot do without awards this year.If you haven't already tried it then you are missing out on one of the hidden gems in Diss.PS try their spicy chutney. They canmake it a bit hotter if that's the way you like it.Certainly brings a zing to lunchtime snacks!

Lovely coffee, lovely surroundings, very good value, yummy cakes!Popped in for coffee and cake, what a delight - thank you

Diss is blessed by having a cafe of this quality.It is hard to imagine that places like Costa down the street gain a foothold with their awful product when Mere Moments can outshine them on every single aspect of service and product.

I have visited here about 4 times in the last couple of months.You are always greeted with a smile upon entering, and also when you order is taken. The menu is what you would assume for a lunchtime... sandwiches, jacket spuds, all day breakfast, soups, and a 'specials' board. They also serve homemade cakes... of which, I have found the Victoria Sponge to be one of the tastiest I have ever eaten.If you visit Diss town centre, and want a relaxed, tasty and nicely served lunch, I would suggest you give this place a try... you wont be disappointed.

We think that "Jessica W" must have been lost and eating at another establishment as the last thing you could call this delightful restaurant/cafe is a greasy spoon. We enjoy a snack here most weeks and the standard of the food and drinks are always of the top quality - in fact their coffee and hot chocolate is amongst the best we have experienced. The staff are courteous, helpful and cheerful and Helen keeps a friendly supervisory eye on all proceedings. The Mere Moments is nearly always busy and certainly wouldn't be if it was anything like a Greasy Spoon. Give it a visit and we are sure you will be pleasantly rewarded. Well recommended and we look forward to our next visit.

This is a lovely little place. Fresh and home made food, the people working there are lovely and chatty. Food really tasty, drinks well made, good prices. Can take away things too!! Would definitely go more!

It was a pleasure to visit this establishment as the staff and other customers made me feel very welcome paticularly as I was on my own. Mere Moments has also recently been voted by the public as the 'In place to meet' and have their certificates displayed. I shall certainly make this a regular venue.

I've eaten here twice, first time was better than the last but both times the food was poor, overpriced and cold. The staff weren't exceptionally friendly when I've been either, in fact most recently they were incredibly rude and obnoxious. Felt very rushed and uncomfortable.They also cannot spell, last I checked there's no such thing as an expresso... Nice location, but certainly overrated. I would not recommend it whatsoever.

Lovely cakes and coffee, and the lady working there could not have been kinder to my son. The view is lovely, very relaxing place for a bite to eat.

Nice little place I often have a bacon sandwich and large cappuccino to go and always top notch occasionally have a cheese scone very nice too and we'll done to the girls at mere moments for winning best independent retailer , service with a smile and shop I couldn't live without awards you always do a great job with a big smile thank you

I often pop next door to mere moments as I really love there fruit scones to have with a cup of tea for breakfast You can't beat them And the girls in there are very nice too

Best cafe in Diss, staff very attentive, cakes are to die for, so fresh. Lovely homemade scones. Often have panninis to take away, excellent comes with salad and crisps, can't be beaten. Prices very reasonable compared to others in the Town.

I went in to mere moments to have lunch with my mum who was visiting the area. We had their homemade soup which was absolutely gorgeous the staff are friendly and had a smile the whole time we was there. As for the cost of our meal I was shocked that it didn't cost more would of happily paid more. Thank you for the wonderful services we will be back :-D

I have visited this cafe as always serves good coffee, upon trying one of the scones on display which look appealing was extremely disappointed by the first taste and the fact it was not cooked properly , I have tried several times as thought might be a one off , but unfortunately it's not the case it does however depend on who seems to be in the kitchen , am of the opinion that maybe the wrong person is in there too often! Such a shame really, haven't been in for a while but don't intend on wasting any more of my hard earned money!

Lovely small cafe in Diss, Mere Street. Back looks out onto the Mere for warmer days. Coffee is excellent and equal to the best, if not the best in Diss.Highly recommended
