Mustard Coffee Bar in Norwich

The service was very pleasant and helpful, and the place is clean and comfortable. There are mementos of the place's former incarnation as the Mustard Shopwhich adds interest. I thought the food was decent, but not exceptional, and perhaps some thought could be given to the presentation. Still, it is well worth a visit.

We’ve been here twice during our brief stay in Norwich. Friendly, they know their coffee and it’s a great brew. Didn’t try the food but it looks good, especially the cakes :)

A friendly welcome, good service and a tasty breakfast. Nice bright aspect. Recommend for breakfast. A big contrast with the surly service at Olive's round the corner.

This place is great, the coffee is great quality and it has a lovely vibe! Great prices and lovely staff, this coffee bar is hugely underrated and i feel that it should be higher up on the TripAdvisor list!

I love visiting Mustard with my colleagues on lunch, the service is fantastic - theyre always happy to see you and give lots of info about the specials. The foods amazing, they've always got something new to try and always willing to chop and change things to suit your needs. We love going here because it's so friendly, welcoming and they offer such a great selection. Be more mustard!

We came across this coffee / tea rooms in Norwich. Very nice and pleasant staff, tea and cake also good, just that there is no on-site toilets, you are directed up the road to a department store, this is a letdown. Had we known before hand that there were no toilet facilities we would have gone else where. A coffee bar with no toilets deserves a zero rating, not clean when you cannot freshen up after a bite to eat.

We came here twice, once for a morning coffee then later for a sandwich for lunch. Really enjoyed both, when we came back for lunch the sandwiches were made fresh with the best ingredients, ham , salad and mustard in my case it was delicious.

A wonderful place to stop for lunch or a quick coffee and cake! Staff are so friendly and patient as we often changed our minds given the array of choice. I had a cherry hot chocolate and I would come again just for that! My friend said it was the best coffee she had ever had. The prices are ridiculously reasonable and there was a good selection for my veggie friend. Since going we haven't stopped talking about it and are desperate to return. Lovely little place!

Dropped in for breakfast. Generous protions of scrambled eggs smoked salmon. Lovely bread, asked for marmalade to finish off remaining bread. Ended up buying a jar of Seasons Seville and Ginger marmalade. Made locally. Delicious! Friendly staff, I dont drink coffee but my friend did and she said it was really good! Definitely recommend. Price wise good value. Go its in a lovely part of Norwich, which I think is a great city!

We popped in for a coffee and cake after seeing the delicious offerings in the window. I had the 'breakfast bar' a bit like a flapjack with seeds, hubby had a cherry bread and butter pudding. Both absolutely delicious as were the flat whites that we ordered. Great independent coffee shop, friendly owners, definitely worth a visit!

I love finding new places for Brunch and this was one of them. Lovely service with a smile, great hot chocolate and they know how to cook an egg or two :)

Great cafe with super owners and staff. Well worth coming just out of the immediate city centre for. Service is quick and the food very good. Had the full English which at £7.45 is good value. I would have given it a 5 but the only thing that lets the place down is lack of a loo.

Nice cakes. A good selection of drinks, and a nice friendly welcome. Nice quiet location Highly recommended!

This cafe is in Bridewell Alley close to the Museum of Norwich. The coffee was excellent and different from what you'll get elsewhere since they roast their own. The cafe also specialises in teas and hot chocolate. We took some time to decide between having a soup and scone for lunch or having a sandwich. We chose the soup and had the choice of brown or white bread. This cafe, on the site of the original Coleman's Mustard shop, has a friendly staff who were keen to chat. The only problem was that cafe didn't have a toilet. We were advised to use the toilets in Jarrolds store which wasn't far away.

Our first visit since a change of ownership. The same quality coffee is served by friendly, knowledgeable and charming staff with a tempting array of cakes and treats on view, (we managed to resist; this time). There is a choice of seating either at tables but we plumped for the ultra comfortable arm chairs. Our varying drinks arrived quickly and they were all piping hot and my espresso really hit the spot. There was no pressure to leave once we had finished it being a completely relaxed atmosphere. It really is a hidden gem so allow yourself time, whether you are visiting, living or working in the fine City of Norwich, to have a great cup of coffee. Enjoy.

A fantastic find ....hidden away near the Lanes. Quirky and quaint, Mustard offers a unique range of mouth-watering savoury and sweet treats, accompanied by an exciting range of teas, coffees and soft drinks to choose from. Very attentive service from Elaine and her team. A ‘must’ for anyone who anyone who appreciates good food, a unique atmosphere and an experience of the city’s heritage.

Lovely place to have a spot of lunch friendly staff and great service Nice warm welcome and chatty Would recommend

Got welcomed in as soon as we walked in and shown the menus and other available foods. Placed order, me and my friend ordered the pancakes from the breakfast menu and I also had a salted caramel hot chocolate which was stunning. The man that served us was very friendly and lovely to chat to. Even when the pancakes came out the other man (possible chef) was very accommodating and helpful! Had a check back and evreything was perfect!

Amazing brunch. Clean and tidy place. Food and staff excellent Thoroughly worth another visit a s a p

Called in early, really chatty and welcoming manager/owner and chef. Good choice of music, relaxing atmosphere and then delicious speciality tea and spot on breakfast well cooked and lovely chef brought it to me. Excellent.

Went there with family! Coffee and cake gorgeous as well as the food. Loved it! Would go again for sure

Stopped in after going to the museum further down the road.

This is everything the last cafe in Norwich I reviewed . . . . . well wasn't. First off great coffee served by a very pleasant lady who remembered to bring the milk. Then a real conversation with two blokes sitting nearby. The background music was in the background and didn't seem to be for the staff's own personal entertainment. I didn't look at the menu but there were meals available. I'll be back, and I think often enough to become a regular. I used to frequent The Saints Coffee Bar, 23 St John Maddermarket for the same reasons as above. Then it became something else . . . . . . and I didn't.

Tea and cakes were fine and the staff pleasant but it’s so small that there are only 3 tables and a bar to sit at. Deadly quiet which is a change from the busier noisier coffee shops if you need to relax.

Although the cakes looked lovely and the staff were very friendly, I can't give this place more than 2 stars. We were told that they didn't have toilets! I'm pretty sure it's a legal requirement to have a customer toilet where you are serving food and drink. The other negative is the tea. I don't know if the teapot hadn't been washed properly or there was still some washing up liquid in there, but it really didn't taste good. I won't be going back.

A chance encounter whilst meandering through Norwich lanes and back streets, where the old Coleman's Mustard shop used to be in Bridewell Alley. We spotted it the other weekend, but had just finished breakfast elsewhere so returned today. Unsure whether it would be open on a Sunday, we were pleased to find space at the breakfast bar. A couple of smooth Americano's and a fresh orange and we soon made our selection of bacon, sausage and egg paninis with cherry tomatoes and scrambled eggs on brown bread toast. Straightforward fayre that was soon dished up, well presented and enjoyed. Locally sourced bacon, sausages and produce makes all the difference.. tasty, flavoursome and just what the doctor ordered. Friendly service, with time to chat about the cafe, the local scene and the quaintness of the location.. another Americano and we were able to set off around the city feeling suitably refreshed and replenished.. by the look of the home baked cakes on offer, I don't think it will be long before a revisit is in order. Another gem of a find in Norwich.. small, tucked away, but definitely worth seeking out.

Nice little coffee shop. Kept it simple. Friendly staff. Homemade cake and a fresh coffee at a reasonable price

Popped in for coffee and croissant, simple but well impressed with quality and the service. Will certainly be going back.

We (2 adults + 3 young kids) popped in for a quick lunch on a cold post-NY Thurs; it couldn't have better suited out needs. Super-fresh but interesting choices of simple grab-and go staples, good coffee and just enough seating. Chap behind the counter (owner?) was extremely welcoming, clearly child-friendly and just generally helpful. A really pleasant experience that helped boost our overall very favourable of Norwich - it really is a fine City!

I feel a bit sad writing this review as if I had written a review a couple of months ago it would have been a 4 or 5 star review, but recent changes have made me re-evaluate my feelings. I used to love going to Mustard; I loved it's cosy friendly vibe, I loved going in see the new artwork adorning the walls, and I loved the fact that I could sit in on a cold winter day and only order a coffee and a soup or sandwich and not feel too guilty about taking up a table as there was enough seating for everyone, and I didn't mind sharing with others who were on their own as well. However, at the end of the summer they had a refurb, and when I visited a few weeks ago I was shocked to see that most of the chairs and tables had gone, to be replaced by a single "bar" opposite the counter with a few stools, and only 2 coffee tables at the back with a couple of comfy chairs. I was also sad to see that they had wallpapered over the lovely "coffee bean" mural at the back of the shop, and the walls had been emptied of artwork and its unique personality. I was told by a member of staff that they had made the decision to move towards a more "grab and go" ethos, but with plenty of coffee places in town like this already, I felt that this decision could go against them in the long-term. They have also radically altered their menu, and taken a lot of the choice of options off of the menu. The quality of the coffee and food was still great, but I felt like the atmosphere had changed somewhat, and I felt guilty sitting at a table when others came in after me in small groups (I later moved to let a group sit where I had been sitting). I'm sure Mustard had their reasons for the big changes, but for me it hasn't worked I'm afraid.

Mustard has changed, they've moved the seating and only got 2 coffee tables with some grubby chairs. Friendly service, still a lovely place in a great location but they've lost the massive menu with all the delicious choice sandwishes on - now you get to pick from a small selection of ready made sarnies/soups and salads from a cold open take away fridge, my daughters was made the day before, the prawns didn't taste too fresh, the bread not too soft!! I had the soup which was served in the plastic pot it was picked in. Still a good cup of tea-pig in a nice pot. Maybe I've got to accept its not a sit in place now as they want the take away market more. Shame I loved the choice and the freshly made sarnies. You can still get pastries to eat in or take away. But you might not always get a seat.

Perfect coffee-they made it just how I like it. Very friendly welcoming staff too. Just my kind of place!

Visited Norwich last week and stumbled across this unique little coffee shop. The coffee was really good - not at all bitter which we like! My husband had a full English and I had a pancake stack with bacon and maple syrup!!!!! Really lovely food! Makes a nice change to actually taste the food and not the oil it is cooked in!!!! Bacon tasted wonderful and I had several yummy pancakes! My husband cleared his plate and said it was one of the best breakfasts he had ever had! Very reasonably priced too! We would definitely return next time we visit Norwich!

A lovely little place where the staff are friendly and the food is fresh. The ingredients are all good quality and the selection has something for everyone. I had the Tuna sandwich which was well filled and really tasty.

I think I have just eaten the best bacon and sausage butty on granary bread in a long while. Can't find fault.

Fab place for lunch in the city. Lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere. Sandwiches are so lovely and fresh and the Norfolk sausage sandwich is to die for (I have it every time I visit)! Highly recommend.

Dropped in for a late lunch. Excellent hand-made fresh sandwiches and a good salad. Nice cakes. A quirky little place but worth a visit for lunch or breakfast. No toilets.

I stopped in with my children and had a lovely lunch. The homemade chilli butternut squash was delicious, and the American pancakes with maple syrup and bacon was yummy. Great friendly service . Its a quaint little place but offers great quality

Popped in for a coffee and cake after a visit to the Bridewell museum. We were greeted very warmly. It was quite late in the afternoon and the lady behind the counter (owner?) explained that she could only offer a limited selection of cakes/cookies and sausage rolls to eat. I had an apple and walnut cake which was delicious and a very generous slice. Brownies and chocolate cake were also large and tasty. The coffee was well brewed, not massive but good nonetheless. A very pleasant experience.

Went for a week day breakfast. Cappuccino was good but tiny, orange juice tasted cheap( very acid, no bits) and the pancakes were OK but didn't taste great. It would be better to let customers pour the maple syrup themselves. Not sure I'll bother again, you need to be better quality to compete in Norwich, there are so many excellent places.

When it that part of Norwich, I stop of to enjoy the best sausage rolls in the city, the atmosphere is very friendly and very cheerful.

Good place to pop in alone while out shopping in the city or with a small group, its comfortable and quick with a good lunch time choice. Plenty of tasty sandwiches of offer and some hot bites too. Good selection of teas and other drinks to enjoy in a relaxed rustic small cafe tucked away in one of Norwich's many side streets, but only 5 mins walk from the market city centre area. Reasonably priced too.

Popped in for breakfast on Saturday. Although the the coffee blend was not my favourite, it was well made. The breakfast was superb. I had the no meat muffin. It was Devine. The staff are lovely.

What a lovely experience! Great warm welcome by the owner Elaine and her staff. Huge choice of freshly cooked cakes! We had Coffee & Walnut cake, Chocolate & Orange Brownie and Carrot cake with pots of tea.See the photos! Huge portions, everyone shared! Love the vintage crockery. Would highly recommend and we will be back!

Breakfast was wonderful, freshly sourced local food which was delicious! The owners were friendly and helpful, and the ambience is relaxed and welcoming. A lovely place to eat when visiting Norwich.

Not only are the coffee's simply amazing but it's a lovely warm place to go and relax! Elaine & Jerry are always lovely hosts always welcoming.

Treated my husband to a birthday breakfast here. Lovely staff and a great interior so different to your normal cafes. The breakfast was just ok (the butter had turned to liquid so we had to pour it on our toast!) and we found it a bit expensive for what it was. Wish I had had the coffee other customers were raving about it. May go back to try.

Lovely weekend breakfast here. Would definitely return for the pancakes and bacon sandwiches. The staff were very friendly, great customer service.

Favourite place to go in Norwich at anytime of day. Excellent place for a catch up with friends and somewhere I often visit on a break from work. Lovely staff and brilliant food.

Had a really nice pot of tea in here with a slice of Carrot Cake (one of the best Carrot Cakes I've had!). The decor is really cool too, and nice to visit somewhere independent in the Lanes. Not the cheapest tea and cake but worth it :)

A small and very individual café in the Lanes. We visited for breakfast, three of our group had the full English, (very good), another had pancakes with maple syrup, (very good but she couldn’t finish it) another had a vegetarian breakfast “no meat in my muffin” which she said was excellent.

Situated in Norwich's historic lanes area we were alerted to this quirky Coffee bar by a flyer in our hotel. This proved an adventure in itself to find in the atmospheric Bridewell alley despite my wife being a native of Norwich. We enjoyed a snack of homemade sausage rolls -meat sourced from a local butcher with lashings of mustard. Given that the café is situated in the former Colman's Mustard shop we felt that they could make more of the connection by offering a selection of prepared mustards. Drinks from a wide selection available were two Lemon and Ginger teas which went down well on a bitterly cold Monday afternoon. Very friendly obliging service and being independently run definitely stands out from the ubiquitous national chains.

I came across this small cafe in the lovely old alleys of Norwich and was thrilled to find an independent cafe as far removed from the High Street regulars as possible.

We had the no meat muffin breakfast and a bacon and egg sandwich. Not exactly great culinary challenges for a Chef but these were well prepared and presented. the Bacon was some of the best I have tasted. The coffees we had although a touch small were very tasty, full of flavour and a match for the best out there. A surprise for me was they were included in the price of the meal which I did not expect. Perhaps I did not read the menu correctly but initially thought it was going to be a little expensive and found out it was the opposite. Very worth a visit if a little cold sat there with our coats on and the main door open. The sandwiches on the board looked attractive but we did not experience them. I visited because of the tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed.

We had a great coffee with a superb cheese and pesto twist. Although we went there for a meeting we will be going back just for the fun and to try some more of their food

An uncharacteristic early morning visit leads to breakfast...but where to go? Spoilt for choice really, but the best thing to do is to wander the Lanes and see what grabs you... For me it was 'no meat on my muffin' a refreshing option for the usually under-catered for vegetarian...

I wish there was a 'good' option for reviewing places on Trip Advisor. I would say this cafe is better than 'average' but I am not willing to give it a 'very good' rating.

My family and I popped in here for a quick lunch and were generally pleased with our decision. The owner was very friendly and with the exception of my daughter's vegetarian burrito which contained scrambled eggs (slightly odd) the other 3 sandwiches were delicious (fab bacon!!) Good honest food, nothing fancy but choose somewhere else if that's what you are looking for.

Sadly since changing hands it isn't the best coffee shop in Norwich anymore. I went back to give it a try, had the worse coffee I've ever had, I asked for a carmel latte and it was sickly in sweetness. The cake was dry, not fresh and a little frozen inside. Will not be going back sadly.

Leigh and Laura's Cake and Coffee Tour of Norwich got off to an excellent start today with a visit to the quite brillant Mustard in Bridewell Alley in the city centre. Done up in jolly yellow, it proudly displays its superb cakes in the window. We had carrot cake which was world standard stuff, beautifully moist and walnutty and big too. Two flat whites accompanied this tasty treat and they were the best coffees we'd ever had in this country. Having completed Leigh and Laura's Cake and Coffee tour of New Zealand, where they know a thing or two about good coffee, we can say that Mustards was on a par with the best we had down under. This is probably because Mustards roast their own coffee. Genius.

Choice becomes limited in any town centre if you’re looking for a decent breakfast on a Sunday morning. Luckily Mustard Coffee Bar was open and it turned out to be so much more than just an adequate convenience. It’s obviously a family run place – very nice vibe. Then the lattes turn up and they are just perfect – top barista quality, great beans, perfectly pulled.

Recently visited Mustards and was very impressed with their great selection of freshly made sandwiches. Very good selection of fillings and choice of bread. Their coffee would be hard to beat especially as it is roasted on the premises.Lovely staff that really go that extra mile to look after you. We will most definitely return.

Coffee, Americano with milk, was good but the food was disappointing. One of us had the veggie sandwich special - tasty bread but far too thick - with salad, halloumi but also some sort of sweet stuff like you would expect with brie. Not memorable. The other had lamb kebab with salad, youghurt dip and wrap; the kebab was tasteless as was the dip. Previous visits after the new owners took over have prompted the same comments about seasoning. Sadly, I don't think we will be going back, when it used to be one of our favourite places for a light lunch.

Went here based on positive breakfast mentions on tripadvisor. Had 2 lovely flat whites. My wife had Eggs Benedict. Unfortunately the Hollandaise sauce was clearly 'bought in' and not made from scratch, tasting more like salad cream. Poached eggs were a little overcooked too.

One of the nicest breakfasts I've had in my life (and I'm v fond of good breakfasts!). Great food, friendly relaxed owner, nice spacious room (though I was v early, I guess it gets busier later). Seriously recommend for brunch/ lunch/ coffee. Good veggie options too. GO!

I feel I have to write a review about Mustard Coffee Bar to draw attention to the fact that the website that is currently shown, is in fact the website of the previous owners Ami and Ruth. The coffee bar changed hands at the end of October 2013. Whilst in there care for three years the girls grew the business into a thriving one, much loved by many Norwich people, and ive heard much missed by those people too. Unfortunately the girls had to sell due to a family member with ill health, but ive heard was sold to a lovely family that are just as passionate about the place as Ami and Ruth were. I felt I had to write this review as there have been comments about their website from recent visitors and wanted to make it clear that this is the old website, not the one of the current owners. Good luck to the new owners, lets hope you make it as popular as the original Mustateers! My review rating is of when the girls had Mustard when I last visited.

We went to mustards in search of a good hot breakfast. And we found that - the eggs themselves were good and there were great new ideas on the menu like mexican inspired dishes which were pretty fiery and delicious.

Absolutely love this place. The ladies there take such pride in their food and especially their coffee. Its small but now they have rearranged their seating its a much better use of space.

My girlfriend recently moved to Norwich so I've been visiting this beautiful city for a while now and every time we're about town we love to stop by this gorgeous little coffee shop.

Upon asking for an espresso the, alleged Barista had to ask advice what this was. The Dose was minimal, the espresso was pulled far too long as the espresso cup was brimming. Thank god for a bin outside to the right hand side.

Such friendly service, their salads and sausage rolls are excellent. Reasonably priced food and drink. The Fish and Chips dish needs a bit of work but take out sandwich food is good. Small and cosy without feeling too squashed.

Small place displaying local art. Run by two very nice young ladies Ruth & Ami, selling a variety of cakes and the most beautiful sausage rolls and scotch eggs on the planet! Amazing coffee's too (and tea) I had breakfast here and was serves with the best eggs benedict I have ever tasted. Altogether a lovely place, lovely service and superb food!

A small but very friendly cafe in the Norwich lanes. Brightly decorated it certainly has a "good morning" feel about it.

I used to study in Norwich and with my friend we came here for our every morning latte - amazing latte. Thank you Mustard coffee team, our mornings were beautiful.

Tucked away in 'The Lanes' you will find the best coffee in Norwich, roasted right there on site. Ami and Ruth who run it are always very friendly. After a few visits there for coffee or lunch they knew what coffee we would normally have which is great.

We popped in for 11s and had sausage rolls, coffee etc. The team in there are great and make the visit something special. Having thoroughly enjoyed the sausage rolls we sat and saw some rather gorgeous looking burgers and bacon etc bars coming out. We will be going back to sample them - I was trying to think of an excuse to stay until lunchtime but we had more Gorillas to find!

I love coffee and a friend told me that I must visit Mustard. After hearing good things on twitter, I decided to pop in.

We dropped in on the last day of our break and wished we had come before! Really good coffee, excellent bread well toasted, friendly service. Nice to see staff having a good rapport with its local clientele and being equally welcoming to newcomers. Hope the chocolate cake is still available on our next visit to Norwich!

My partner and I were walking past last week and were given a free sample of coffee. It was delicious and we decided to go back this week for breakfast. The service was speedy, efficient and friendly and the cafe is clean, bright, modern and funky.

Tiny cafe with one largish table and bar stools around the wall at the back. Service was very friendly and the breakfast was tasty. Good quality bread/toast.

I Found this place on the recommendation of a good friend, walking up and down a couple of the lanes its not the easiest to find, but worth the trip. This is a great small spot for coffee close to the centre of norwich but off the well beaten path, quieter with a relaxed friendly atmosphere in a very quirky old building with interesting original artwork by local artists displayed. You know that the people there are loyal regulars, this place has quite the fan club.

Although the name suggests that the coffee is the main attraction here, this is easily Norwich's best place for breakfast.

Amazing little place, staff are always smiling and lovely, and the food on offer is always great with good sized portions. Great atmosphere too with local artwork displayed around the small interior. I come here often and would recommend to anyone.

This is a very nice little cafe hidden in the centre of Norwich, on an alley just off Bedford Street. Nice hangout place I'd say. The staff are very friendly and the food is very nice; a good selection of sandwiches and homemade soups which are yummy. There are cool artworks hanging on the walls to keep you amused (or if you're tempted, buy them at a reasonable price). The back wall of the cafe is a lovely feature in itself. Overall, a very interesting spot with young and trendy crowd.

I love this place! The staff are very friendly, the food is freshly made and they sell the best coffee in Norwich. They are veggie friendly which is a plus! I would recommend them to everyone.

This really is a wonderful place, you get the warmest greeting and geniunely friendly atmosphere. There is a tremendous choice of sandwiches, snacks, cakes etc, along with superb coffees/teas. This really is the perfect antidote to the faceless, charmless chains throughout the city. It is a real pleasure visiting here and we will certainly be frequent visitors.

Got here for a brunch after popping in previously and liking the look of what we saw. It was the most friendly place. Menu smallish but delicious and very veggie friendly. Tempted by a slice of Victoria sponge cake which turned out to be the best we have ever had. Loved this cafe to pieces!

This is a very welcoming cafe, tucked down one of Norwich's lanes. Loads of character and charm. The staff are very accommodating and the food and drink good quality. My only criticism is that the coffee cups are a little on the wee side. Sort this problem out and Mustard would receive a 5 star review.

Small but Very nice place, service was top draw, very friendly and helpful staff. Nice bacon and egg sandwich.

Was visiting Norwich on a Christmas shipping trip. One of my colleagues was always going on about this place, so thought I'd check it out! So glad we found it, tucked away..what a hidden gem!

Amazing! Lovely little place, gorgeous food (I recommend their guinness & chocolate cake!) and really friendly staff.

Found Mustards by chance, how lucky were we. Excellent coffee, great home made falafel and sandwiches.Surrounded by walls full of student art and friendly folk. Nomilicious!

My sister and I found this fantastic treasure by default but what an amazing find. From the moment we entered and were welcomed by a colorful, smiling young lady. we chose our breakfast but I was undecided on what coffee to have she asked me "how do you like your coffee?" then she recommended the flat white coffee and she was right strong, flavoursome but not bitter - what a knowledge. whilst enjoying the most amazing breakfast every she talked to us about our plans for the day and then later gave us a hand written list of places to eat that night - such a kind thought - this really made our day and she nor the amazing coffee shop with it s tales of the coffee beans on the walls - that was an education - will never be forgotten. Everyone in the coffee shop was warm and friendly and this was great to see - keep up the good work - we would return to Norfolk just to visit you

Now that I don't work in the City any more, I am really missing my regular coffee and sandwich (and the odd cake) at Mustard.

I am a regular visitor to Mustard and it only gets better with each visit - be it for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee!

This is a Norwich secret. Tucked down Bridewell Alley, off Bedford Street, this little independent coffee bar is run and owned by a couple of people who are very passionate about great food and coffee. They roast their own beans, cook all their own food and hang local young artists work for sale. Their breakfasts are amazing. I recently has an eggs Benedict which would not be out of place in a posh restaurant at 5x the price lunch can be just a sandwich or their special of the day, which seems to vary every day and never gets repeated.. You can sit around the big table and chat or on a bar stool for more privacy. It's not a pot of tea and scone shop. This place is alive and different. The atmosphere is arty and colourful. They take Sunday & Monday off, but if you want to see how friendly Norwich people are, give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

We stayed overnight at the nearby Premier Inn, but after a full dinner at the Iron Horse the night before didn't need the full (& generally good) Premier Inn full on breakfast.
