Revelation in Norwich

I love the friendliness of this cafe. The food is always good and freshly prepared and sensibly priced. My go-to place for coffee or lunch when I'm in Norwich. It is occasionally a little slow if it is really busy

Pop in for lunch and happy hour cocktails. Slightly disappointed with the cocktails as Most were redball mixed. The cocktails we order (4) none were like the pictures of had any garnish when I complained I was told they didn’t have any “stuff”. We both had the duck wraps which were nice. Staff were friendly.

Tomó un café pero principalmente vino a ver la iglesia. Norwich tiene muchas iglesias y ha sido divertido explorarlas y ver qué nuevos usos tienen ahora. Desde cafeterías y arte hasta tiendas de segunda mano.

Llamado aquí el último Día del Patrimonio. Muy bienvenido café y pastel. Es bueno ver a una iglesia darle un uso alternativo y hacer un gran trabajo. También hay una tienda, en su mayoría de orientación cristiana. Sospechamos que puede ser difícil pagar el alquiler, pero sin duda merece su apoyo.

Mi amigo y yo nos recomendaron este lugar como un lugar interesante para tomar un café. Cuenta con una excelente selección de libros, tarjetas nuevas y de segunda mano y útiles para la iglesia. Es un hermoso edificio y apoya a la gente local.

This cafe (and Christian bookshop) is inside a former church, which makes the surroundings particularly apt for a peaceful morning stop for refreshment. The staff are very friendly, which makes the coffee/tea experience peaceful and homey. An enjoyable experience.

A reasonably priced and pleasant lunch, which had a "home cooked" feel about it was enjoyed by family members in this former church.

Popped in unplanned with an old friend. Both of us ordered coffee and a hot ciabatta. Despite being quite early they had run out of chicken fillings. However the food I ordered was perfectly tasty, and the coffees were fine too. Service was relaxed, if a little slow...but not too bad and worth the wait as food was cooked fresh from scratch and they had only just opened. I would certainly visit again.

Called in having seen the board outside advertising meals, only had a warm sausage roll (absolutely fine, and ketchup/brown sauce freely available to accompany) and a good pot of tea (so nice when you get a pot of hot water too, meant I had a really good drink). Place was clean and quite a few customers, with clean bathroom facilities too. Very reasonably priced: if I was in Norwich again I would try to go back and have something home made like the soup. Having a chance to brows the shop afterwards before going back into the grey drizzle was a bonus.

I went for lunch here last week with my parents. I ordered a mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini. It took ages to arrive and when it finally did, I was very disappointed. Considering it cost £5.25, I expected a little more than a few drops of pesto and a couple of slices of tomato. There was also no seasoning so the whole thing was very bland. The measly salad on the side of the plate had dry, old pieces of celery and radish. I will not be coming back here again and I honestly would rather have gone to KFC or Burger King.

Spent the day in Norwich site seeing and found this place by chance. Very popular lunchtime venue. Good menu choice and staff were welcoming. It is value for money too. We enjoyed the surroundings and perused books afterwards. Jacket potato with coronation chicken and garnish was very tasty. The fig and stilton quiche was equally as good. Good choice of teas. The cakes were also tempting. Would return when in Norwich.

An old church which now has a Christian bookshop, and a lovely cafe open to all. The lunch we had was excellent and good value and the service was efficient.

Came to cathedral to see GA. & norm. The peregrines who have a nesting platform at Norwich. Sadly 3chicks were lost leaving one who was named solo. Wanted a coffee so went for a stroll. Hate chain coffee shops. Found this lovely cafe. The cakes looked lovely and they were homemade. You could tell by taste. Coffee was hot and tasty. Young man served us and was polite. I have vowed to come back and so nice to get away from chain cafes. Lovely place to sit and contemplate

A good selection of second hand Christians books and a place to stop for coffee in your sight seeing plus other books and souvenirs and old ex church building to look around.

Good Evening, On Tuesday (10th April) I paid a visit to Norwich from Cromer. After having a look at the Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Spire of Norwich Cathedral, I decided to pay a visit to Revelation Café and Bookshop. And as it is "Off the Beaten Track" it made it special as it is away from the Hustle and Bustle of the Market and High Street Shops

Gran cafetería, el personal es muy amable, y la comida recién hecha a pedido. La librería cristiana está maravillosamente equipada y con muchos artículos interesantes para navegar.

Buena comida, buen ambiente en un edificio histórico y una cálida bienvenida. Muy recomendado es el bollo de queso y la crema pastelera.

He estado visitando varios lugares para almorzar como ratón de biblioteca. Trato de conseguir un poco de paz tan a menudo como puedo. También este lugar es mi sueño, ya que tienen libros de segunda mano. Los sándwiches me gusta alejarme con mi libro. Como ha sido frío y soy un fanático de las sopas, probé las suyas. Magnífico y abundante, ¡toma la noche esta noche, así me durará hasta entonces!

I usually call in at least once a week, quite often with my wheelchair bound Mum, who loves the staff, atmosphere and the puddings!!! The food and drink is always excellent - even the sarnies are top notch!!! To my mind the Belgian chocolate in the Decaf Mocha makes it the best Mocha in the City hands down! The staff are all fantastic and very welcoming. It's a 15 minute walk to get there from where I live, but happily make the time to take a trip there. It's a haven I tells ya!

We were in Norwich for the Heritage Open Weekend recently and popped in here as this was one of the places open to visit. At the back is a little café so we browsed the shop and bought a few things, thinking we might stop and have something to eat. However, it was after 4pm (closing time for the café) so were going to put it on our radar to come back the next day but we didn't like the attitude and language being banded about by one of the older men who maybe seemed to think he was 'in charge' of sorting out the next day's arrangements in the café and could be heard by anyone within about 25 yards of the back of the church. As Christians, we would not have expected this from people also supposedly Christian and were saddened by it, so this put us off coming back the next day. Hopefully just a one off incident..? Shop itself is very nice :-)

Una joya de lugar, encontré este fantástico café junto con una gran librería, mientras que en Norwich. Decidimos parar para almorzar y me alegro tanto de haberlo hecho. El personal era muy servicial, amable y tenía una sonrisa en la cara, me recomendaron la sopa que me decidí a, me alegro mucho de que tomó su aconsejable era delicioso, junto con una bebida caliente. Excelente servicio y buena relación calidad-precio.

Este está situado en la zona de cabecera de una iglesia en desuso y era tan tranquilo como sería de esperar. Llamamos para una comida ligera como un descanso del museo visitando. Fue una lástima que se les había acabado de los rollos de salchicha recomendado por unos amigos, pero el tío detrás del mostrador se disculpó y sugiere una serie de alternativas razonables.

Este es un buen café y librería cristiana y recursos del centro en la calle. Michael en la Iglesia de súplica, escondido en el centro de la ciudad.

Lugar tranquilo y relajante. Estas son sólo unas pocas maneras de describir este lugar. Es un edificio de la iglesia, la primera parte del edificio es un libro cristiano y tienda de regalos, y de nuevo muy tranquilo para pasear sin pulsar y presión del...

We needed food and a place to just stop, so glad we came across this lovely little cafe, the food...

Lo fantástico que es este sitio - una encantadora cafetería/restaurante, mi amigo y yo pedimos sándwiches que eran excelentes, el servicio fue rápido y eficiente, el personal era amable. El precio es muy razonable y muy tranquila lejos del bullicio y ajetreo de Norwich. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, y deberá ir de nuevo cuando estoy al lado en Norwich - un gran hallazgo.

Revelation is a Christian Resource Centre and also a really excellent Cafe. It serves the best Mocha I've had (and I've had a few), the foods really good too and reasonably priced and the staff are super friendly. Can't praise the place enough - great church setting too!

This is an oasis of peace in a busy city. The Church has now been converted into a Christian bookshop and a café. We stumbled upon it after a long journey, wanting a basic healthy very late lunch and found it here. We had the Carrot and Coriander soup which came with a roll and was delicious, so delicious that we went back the next day and had another bowlful. The staff are friendly and there is no feeling that you are being rushed out, even though they were busy on both days. A tempting selection of cakes is also available, mostly homebaked. Highly recommended for a light lunch (and the bookshop is very good too)

Friendly, clean, food excellent, quick service, very central and excellent value. Very Generous portions! Will definitely visit again.

I walked past at lunch time having been to the cathedral. I wanted soup but didn't fancy the soup at the cathedral. I went into revelation which felt homely, down to earth and honest! There were every day people talking about everyday things. Made me smile! The soup was the best cream of tomato soup I have ever eaten - I'm not far off 50 years old and tomato is my favourite, so that's high praise! The staff were friendly and kind. Thank you!

Called in for a light lunch in this stunningly beautiful church which is now a Christian Bookshop and cafe.My partner and I both ordered Jacket potatoes with Chilli con Carne.Service was rather slow and the potatoes were very overcooked and the chilli was, well basically, just minced beef.A shame as we saw other tables being served really lovely looking saladsI guess we were just unlucky on the day - and will try again next time I'm in Norwich.

Set in the lovely St Michael at Plea church now a Christian resource centre you are always made to feel welcome and there is a lovely choice of food for a light lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea. I believe the cafe was formerly known as 'Forget me not' but it is well worth a stop
