Walked into Dereham today. Said to my wife let's have a cup of tea and scone in Sunshine Cafe 🌞 We were welcomed with a hello and lovely smile from the waitress🤗 Our tea and Scone's with butter and jam were lovely😋 just what we needed before the walk home 🤗 Thanks to all at the Sunshine Cafe 🌞 See you again

I am upset. I apologise to any of the regular cafe visitors in advance. First and foremost what has seriously upset me is being given a pukka pie that was microwaved within an inch of its life! I love pies! I love the pastry and the filling so when it’s microwaved it toughens the meat and does some sort of genius crime to the pastry. Turning what was soft buttery crumblyness into some evil step sister to leather. As if that crime wasn’t bad enough rather than giving me a jug with gravy or pouring it over my pie and peas. They chucked most of it over the partly cooked chips. So I had a swimming vat of soggy looking pale chips. I like to dip chips in gravy yes. But that retains their chippyness! Serving them floating in it means they’re just very sad!! I had been tempted to have my first tyy of pie and liquor! I’m so pleased I didn’t if the leathery pie has anything to do with it! My mother had scampi and chips with salad and peas and her chips were not so sad. Hers was fine! Her scampi had been cooked in a normal way and not microwaved! My second bone of contention is the single toilet! Okay I’m fine with this but please make the door open outwards as currently it skims past the edge of the basin and loo meaning to get in you have to stand straddling the toilet! This is awkward as hell and worse when leaving. The loo area is moderately clean. By that I mean is had a wipe and looks okay. Just don’t look too close. When you go to open the door be aware you either need to cram your body into the left corner next to the loo or straddle it then lift your foot over the loo to get out which would have had me laughing if it wasn’t for my dodgy knees and bad ankle. So no I wasn’t laughing. The redeeming thing is the prices are great. However no price is worth a microwaved pukka pie!! That’s cafe crime ! It’s possible it was oven cooked at some point then microwaved. But same applies - it’s wrong don’t do it!! Decor is basic. The possibility it was last decorated in the 80’s to a high standard crossed my mind. The London tower bridge wall mural amused me a bit when I considered the pie situation. The people in there were not all sunshine and smiles either. It was a bit grim on that front. The chorus of shut the door had me chuckling whenever someone entered. I felt like I was in a British 80’s sit com! Will I return. No I’ll persuade who I’m with to walk further next time !!

Absolutely love it here. Staff go out of their way to help. Food is delicious and great value for money. Highly recommend 😊

Lovely, welcoming staff. Reasonably priced and very well cooked food.

Excellent choice , excellent price , great service, all food nice and hot with a coffee included . Would recommend

Dropped in for some lunch and really enjoyed it. Good food and great value for money. Chicken burger with chips and a cup of tea for just under £7.50. Will definitely come again next time we’re in Dereham.

I went there today for lunch , and I had a big breakfast , which I thougherly enjoyed , it was all good fresh and very tasty , it was served by friendly staff , in a nice environment , I would thougherly recommend it to anyone , full marks 😁👍.

Been here many times and the food is great, good helpings, staff are very welcoming and friendly, great value for money we keep going back

9 of us for breakfast this morning. Lovely hot food, great portion sizes. Decent coffee and good value for money. Will definitely go back.

Great breakfast, staff welcoming and very clean. A little cold inside though.

"Freindly staff table service reasinably priced."

Pro. Good quantity food Con. Freezing cold inside, you eat with your jacket on. Price. Average to high

Food ok the baked beans are disgusting cheap horrible taste. Apart from that quite good 👍

Been hear a few times and we have really enjoyed it. Great food with great quantity and the price are good. Customer service is great, they make you feel welcome. Highly recommend this place 👌

Really nice owner greeted me before I'd even set foot inside, he let me bring my bike inside so I didn't have to lock it up, refilled my water bottles for free too. Simple lunch with decent coffee at a very reasonable price, very clean inside and wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Thank you for having me.

1st time there, We only had breakfast, service was good, food was very good, can get busy at times, would eat there again. Give it a go

Fast efficient service and very yummy food, my new favourite place for lunch

Good quality food, very helpful staff at reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommend bolognese jacket potatoes.

Big portions.. Great staff.. Tasty food..

Lovely good,Staff are lovely too

Took my partially sighted mum to Dereham to shop as Norwich is difficult for her. A chilly day, we decided on coffee and happened upon the Sunshine cafe. First impressions always count and as we stepped through the door I was thinking how spotless the place was. There were plenty of tables to choose from all spotless and spaced apart for Covid reasons. We sat and consulted the menu and I got up to order at the counter. The waitress was helping an elderly person at the door and said she'd be happy to take my order at the table. She immediately came over and before we knew it coffee and tea were in front of us and bacon butties were on the way. These were delicious, and the side of chips were hot from the fryer and crispy - no grease at all! The lady on another table told me she came every week and it did seem like the waitress knew most of the customers. The owner was at the till when I paid my extremely reasonable bill, and we had a very pleasant chat. In my opinion this cafe is a real gem and I'd love to visit again soon!

Didn't eat but had a cappuccino, clean & good service

Absolutely love this place, portions are always a good size, never leave here hungry, staff always friendly, sometimes we'll just pop in for a latte and a sandwich and still just as good. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a tasty hearty meal

Love the sunshine Cafe. The food is always A+ quality and the prices are very reasonable. The cafe is spotless and the staff are warm, friendly and welcoming.

If I could rate 0 stars I would the food was disgusting frozen spaghetti bolognaise and chips were soggy and not how you would expect them definitely won’t go there again

Friendly, good food and good price

Fantastic food clean facilities

Fantastic breakfast. With superb staff

I didn't eat here, I just had cold drink & sat with friend so can't rate it properly

I had Shepard's pie, the wife liver & bacon. Both meals excellent & a nice mug of tea to wash it down.

me and my family ordered from them this morning and there food was absolutely delicious we had a great experience as the people were around 20 minutes and very friendly. The food was warm when it arrived and it was all very affordable. i have no complaints I definitely would recommend.

Lovely staff, Hakan and the team. Good food, always piping hot. Good prices. Takeaway available too.

Excellent food good quick service very clean good prices

The staff were very friendly and helpful but unfortunately they served my 5year old toast that was mouldy bread, they did however replace it. I've revisited today and wanted so badly for it 2 be better, the waitress pretty much chucked my coffee at me and my friends after she originally bought us the wrong order, customer service was dreadful, like we were an inconvenience for daring to come In. Food was horrid... I've had to change my original rating to much less 😔

Just popped in for cappuccinoa which were great. Didn't eat but after looking at menu will next time. Good luck for future

We popped in for a coffee, which was very refreshing, cannot comment on food as we didn't have any. The cafe was clean, and very friendly. It was quiet because of the current situation, but we want to support independent shops and cafes as much as we can.

About right for the price. Friendly staff.

Bubble and squeak is just mashed potatoes and frozen mix veg the mushrooms are barely cooked halfway in to meal I got the toast not worth the money

Very nice & Friendly staff, food very good although a tad expensive, I don't mind paying for quality!! Very clean and easy access for me (disabled). Toilets nice & clean.

Helpful staff, but it was very cold. I don't like having to eat wearing my coat fastened. Also our food cooled down quickly. Even the waitress had her jacket on.

The food and drink is great but the service is really slow. I just waited 20 minutes for just a cappuccino. Staff are friendly tho.

Poor quality meats, caged hen eggs, soggy chips and hash browns, cold toast. All the things you would find in a cheap Greasy Spoon - but the prices are not cheap. Staff are friendly though

Lovely friendly welcome as we entered cafe. Found a table and quickly asked if we would like a drink. We ordered 2 omelette meals and were helpfully asked which accompaniments we would like with it. Drinks arrived. Large is very large. Well presented China. I saw lots of other drinks being served and all were beautifully served, cream, glass, China, etc. Very large portions. Lovely fresh omelette , salad . We both had to leave some chips as we were full . The young waitress was a delight. Great food and service. A smart cafe. Lots of happy customers.

My mother originally had 9 sisters, many are still around and in the Norfolk/Cambs area, and we used this for our annual family gathering as in recent years our previous venue, the George at Swaffham, had disappointed us (and been slow). This café was amazing. We had a long table to ourselves, loudly. The restaurant staff were amazing, but the food was superb and good value with many choices, we had our own table, all food came quickly and was abundant, and hearing us serenade my daughter's birthday, they immediately gave her a small free birthday cake with candle. Never again the George, from now on it's Sunshine every time. Variously we chose omelette, vegetarian breakfast (came with many mushrooms, which were nice small ones), fish and chips, ham salad .... all of us were pleased without exception. One aunt was in a wheelchair : no problem.

Wife a d I had a lovely meal. Good polite service

never been to this place before but it was spotless, very friendly staff, superb variety on the menu, excellent value from a huge plate of very tasteful food, A definite recommendation for an all day breakfast or any other meal 12/10 if that's possible

Noticed this in passing having taken a different route into town. Clean and tidy cafe with attentive staff. Menus clean which is a real bonus at this level although our sauce bottle nozzles could have done with a wipe. Ordered two all day breakfasts one of which was veggie and neither of us had any complaints about the quality or quantity of the food. Our very attentive waitress was taken ill shortly after serving us but there was hardly any loss of continuity and one or two minor niggles were dealt with promptly.The toilet facilities we would suggest are compact and bijou but immaculately clean and that says a lot.We prefer to support the more independent eateries and now we have found this one, we will return when next in town.

I had the £4 Breakfast , A poorly cooked egg, a sausage of the lowest quality , a bit of bacon and a plate of beans,I would not visit again , obviously it’s aimed at the budget market , I would have rather paid a bit more and had quality, but I had to give it a goThe place was clean enough and staff were ok

I have used this café/restaurant for quite a while every time I'm in Dereham I always call in for a drink and a meal the breakfast is especially nice and its served all day.

I have been in here a few times since it went into new ownership and have always received a warm welcome (although the cafe could be slightly warmer in temperature in cold weather)Simple all day breakfasts, burgers, jackets etc. but always nicely cooked and generous portions at very reasonable prices .

We went there one afternoon midweek and was really hungry for a late lunch and was greeted by friendly staff. Ordered burger and chips and latte and coffee. The burger was really filling and the chip portion was huge.It filled us up and I would go there again.

We've been to this cafe lots of times and ALWAYS had excellent service, fantastic meals, and greeted by exceptionally friendly staff. The price is brilliant value for money, spotlessly clean and we can't recommend it enough. The owner Henry goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and if I could give it more stars than I wouldn't hesitate to do so. It's well worth a visit if your in or near Dereham.

had a lovely fish and chips, cooked to perfection, with side salad? next time i'll ask for peas or mushy peas, salad for me is not fish and chips, ok, it was a nice side salad, if you like side salad, I do like side salad, with steak, or whatever, but not with fish and chips, was lovely though so no real issue, my own fault for not looking properly, will definitely go back, but will change that bit next time.

we have eaten here 3 times now and each time have been greeted by friendly staff. The restaurant and kitchen area are clean and the food is good and plentiful. Coffee is good and in large mug. I like to watch the staff cook so this is easily seen. Every breakfast we have tried is excellent. Well done.

I don't think this cafe has been open long, anyway we were pasting and thought we'd give it a try. Lovely and clean with what looks like a new fitted kitchen and waiter service. We looked at the menu and illustrated were pancakes with maple syrup. The photo clearly showing a stack of four or more pancakes with syrup on top. When they arrived two small soggy pancakes covered in a sea of syrup of some kind. A cappuccino with no head. A large coffee, more milk than coffee all for £10. I would say to the owners of this cafe, first impressions matter. If you are advertising food on your menu by photo, they should at least resemble the food that is served! Otherwise it is misrepresentation.

We went in as soon as they opened this morning (Sunday) as had a full day and wanted a big breakfast to start the day right. We placed our order for 4 breakfasts and then only received 3! My daughter asked for no bubble and squeak yet still got it. My boyfriend was tucking into his when he found a dark hair which made all the others not want to eat theirs. Spoke to the manager who wasn’t very helpful but if he thinks that the service today was acceptable he will be lucky to have a business in 2018!!! Better to stick to blue corner!

Had passed by a few times and always looked clean and busy so we thought we would give it a try

Lovely new find in Dereham. Great place to have a breakfast before starting work at 9. Friendly staff and so much choice.
