Silver Darlings Cafe in Great Yarmouth

The worst experience ever,took over 45min to get a sandwich Disappointed with children’s box , it said cake ,what kids eat date and walnut cake etc ,no fruit or anything like that 20 min after ordering they came out and said they didn’t have what was ordered Won’t be going back soon Wasn’t even crowded

The 2 girls on the front of house took my order for 2 drinks and a cake. Bearing in mind the place was empty they forgot my order. I went to remind them and they had the gaul to ask if I had paid. They then bought the order over. No apology. No milk for the tea. Really disappointing.

Amazing cafe, great customer service, all the staff treated are friendly and the chef made sure that all my taste buds were in dreamland with such amazing food, their soups are to die for!

It is a good and cosy place with a cup of nice coffee;) The Time and Tide café offers good omelettes, tasty sandwiches and desserts.

Such a lovely cafe and staff really friendly. It's a hidden gem next to the Tide and Time Museum. The sausage rolls were very nice and good value too.

Cafe ok for light snack lunch although they do serve cooked meals. All cooked onsite so service slow at times. Clean and staff ok

This cafe is well worth finding in Great Yarmouth Food was fantastic quality and very reasonably priced . The service matched the food and our dog was made to feel very welcome & special . Can’t say much more we were very impressed

Lovely place. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Food was also lovely. Will definitely be back again

This lovely little coffee shop is well worth the find, even if not going to the museum next door. Serves the best coffee, with an array of treats for all. Absolutely fabulous hosts, with sitting inside and out....enjoy

Currently, February 2022, open Thursdays to Saturdays. Very welcome after a two hour visit to the adjoining excellent museum. Friendly and kind staff, quick service, limited menu at the moment but lovely scones and cappuccino. Sat indoors due to the weather but comfortable and cosy.

this is a place if you enjoy good food at reasonable prices, you are always given warm bread and butter with olives, good service and excellent Delta coffee, it is run by Portuguese and you couldn't ask for nicer people, highly recommend at any time including Sundays.

We stopped in here after visiting the museum and are so glad that we did. The food was delicious - best carrot cake I've had in a long time! A lovely menu and the lady that served us was so friendly. Thank You!

Stopped in for a coffee at the museum’s cafe and stayed for lunch. It was so good we returned twice more during our week’s stay in GY. The dishes are hearty and generous and the details have been considered. For example, the Portuguese artisan bread is delicious, and served with herbed butter. Fantastic range of food and desserts, and proper coffee!

I work with visual impairment client's, we attended the cafe today and I can not thank them enough. You and your staff made us feel so welcome, service was excellent and you made us all feel so welcome and safe. The birthday cake that you made was fantastic and enjoyed by all. I want to say a big thank you

Beautiful small cafe by the Time and Tide Museum in Yarmouth. An excellent alternative to fried food offered on the seafront, a five minute walk away from the Sea Life Centre. Menu offered a variety of food and FINALLY somewhere that has moved with the times re children’s food and doesn’t assume that chicken nuggets and chips is the staple diet of for kids for every meal. Toddler fresh food offered includes basic sandwiches, homemade soup and half a jacket potato with a variety of fillings. For adults this may sound simple but perfect for little ones finding their taste buds and comes with appropriate cutlery whether to be used or played with. Food for adults is amazing. Very tasty homemade food but far from dull. Ciabattas with freshly cooked bread, burgers (vegetarian and meat), quiche and salads and the deserts/ cakes. Essentially, the best lunch out we have had as a family. This does not disappoint. Please don’t go because I want a table every time I’m in Yarmouth ha ha!

My family went here after our visit to the time and tide museum. In this uncertain time I like to support independent ventures rather than chain. I’m so glad I did the whole experience was very pleasant and enjoyable. The options were very good and catered well for my sons, one who is vegetarian and one who can be quite fussy. We felt safe in relation to COVID-19. The waitress was polite and attentive. The food arrived fairly promptly and it was delicious with all five of us saying this and that is unusual for a whole family consensus. My youngest even asked when we can come back. I had the full English breakfast which was the best I had in a long time. My daughter had an omelette and she said it was the best she had as well. The environment was nice although a little chilly due to the window being open but understandable due to COVID-19. It didn’t taint our experience. I would highly recommend this place.

Nice to be back at this gorgeous little place to eat! Food was as good as ever and so was the service! Just 1 thing that was not so nice was the paper plates and plastic cutlery! Very hard to cut things up! 😳

Loads of home made dishes, but basics excellent too. The all day breakfast was superb in every piece. The bread is particularly good.

I have been to this wonderful little gem of a place a few times now, it's quite small and very cute and tucked away. Each time I have been there the food has been great and the service very good, the staff there are always very pleasant and pleased to see you and nothing is too much trouble, I had my works Christmas dinner there last year and it was the best I had ever had. Cannot praise this little place enough, love love love it.

Mixed nut tart. Yummmmm. Also if you have a savoury you get olives and bread with garlic butter and getting complimentary bits like this is not done enough. Nice little place. Although I’d like the option of ice cream with the tart lol 🍦

Unbelievable food and service in the cafe. Hugo and the team go out of their way to ensure you have the best of all they have offer,all at reasonable prices. The portions are to die for. Well nourished we then spent 3 hours in the Tide and time museum. Be sure to put on you list of places to visit in Yarmouth. Jim M, Norwich.

If you haven’t visited yet then this place is a must! I grew up in the area the cafe is situated, and I can remember when the building used to be a herring curing works in the 1970’s/80’s before it was turned into the Time...

You couldn’t say it is a full English breakfast, but it is the best in Great Yarmouth. Lovely atmosphere, in an old traditional part of the Time and Tide museum, scrupulously clean with amazing staff. Food is well cooked and presented, with quality ingredients to...

Cheeky little mid afternoon lunch was a great surprise as we only dropped in with our grandson of four to see the adjoining Time and Tide museum. We opted for the fish platter sharer which was very nice, and the cheesey linguine for the little...

Fabulous food, fabulous service. Love, love, love, Silver Darlings, such great value for delicious food

Half way through our journey around the HUGE Time & Tide Museum we decided to eat at Silver Darling. I’m have health problems and wasn’t sure what I’d be able to eat. Their waitress, who told us proudly she’d worked there for over three years!...

We visited this excellent cafe today before going into the Time and Tide Museum and enjoyed proper coffees and delicious scones with jam, butter and clotted cream in very generous portions. Especially nice to enjoy “real” butter rather my pet hate of pre wrapped portions....

While waiting for car to have its mot I was given the tip of coming to this hidden cafe and wasn't disappointed! Great menu, cooked fresh breakfast and delightful waiting staff especially Jessie. Pleasant ambience with exposed beams and stone floor. Highly recommended and this...

They sell a nice range of food, sandwiches, cooked breakfast, cakes, beverages. All good value and lovely food. Great waiting staff too.

After an interesting visit to Grey Friars the guide recommended we went to the Silver Darlings at The Tide and Tide Museum. We had a beautiful meal and dessert, the service was friendly and efficient and it was good value. We would definitely go again.

Had a most enjoyable lunch - Portuguese artisan bread with warm chicken and mayo - mouth watering. Followed by lovely moist carrot cake and coffee - Staff are a delight.

Great menu choices arriving speedily, but this is not "fast food". It is nicely presented, usually with salad and a side of bread with garlic butter and olives. The baked potatoes are enormous with plenty of choices of fillings. The service is excellence with a...

Healthy food, very clean and friendly service. Not fast but worth waiting for. a few tables outside in fine weather and lots of room for my walker inside [completely accessible] and well kept toilets.

We came when they were very busy but we were shown to a table and we were fine talking to each other so didn't mind the wait. We both had the homemade carrot and coriander soup which came with rustic bread and herb butter and...

We had the smoked fish sharing platter. Wonderful, well presented and exceptional value. We will definitely be going back - if only for a portion of the yummy looking cakes. We certainly couldnt have managed one today !

What a great little cafe. But unless you are already aware of it's existence, it's not a place one would come across easily as it's a bit "off the beaten track". It is located in the yard of the Time And Tide Museum, and after...

Why haven't I been here before? This is a lovely place to eat and drink. The staff are friendly with excellent service. The coffee is quality. The BLT was fantastic. Freshly cooked and all just right.

We have returned here after several visits on holiday last year. Yummy food, great portions. Fantastic service. Only down side is they are so busy it’s tricky to get a table! Highly recommend. Time and Tide Museum is also excellent and joined to the cafe.

Back in Yarmouth we made a point of visiting again. Same lovely service and excellent food, just as last year. Highly recommended

Lovely food and lovely service. The cakes are amazing and the main meals are filling and very tasty.

Have been to Silver Darlings several times now for lunch over the last few months. The food is lovely and the service friendly and efficient. We have always had tasty meals, no matter which dishes we have chosen.

After a trip to time and tide tried on site cafe/restaurant. What a surprise! Brilliant all day breakfast. We even got a basket of bread and olives. Would make special trip to visit!

Good wind down after a visit to Time & Tide. Range of teas and coffees. Varied menu for a meal or snack. Friendly staff.

Had our third meal here and really enjoyed fresh delicious savoury and sweet food again. So satisfied, we needed very little for tea!

We popped in for a cuppa and a piece of cake each whilst at the museum... There was a lovely selection of cakes, But there is also a good selection of lighter meals and large meals also at lunch time. Service very pleasant, and cheerful....

they serve wonderful coffee and I had scrambled eggs with mushrooms lovely I also had the quiche with new potatoes and salad and creme caramel to take away wonderful service lovely place to relax

If you want freshly prepared, healthy food rather than the usual seaside cafe fare then this place is ideal. The service was friendly too.

The staff were friendly and helpful. A late breakfast was taken sitting outside the Silver Darlings café, and the cheese and red onion and egg and bacon baguettes were of the highest order. Served with an unusual red cabbage coleslaw.

If you need somewhere to eat in Great Yarmouth please go to a small restaurant that is a little gem - just a few minutes walk from the promenade. Great food. Fantastic service. Good prices. Ideal for single people and families!

A fairly small, cozy restaurant which will provide a nice snack or meal on your visit to the Time & Tide Museum.
