The Acorn Cafe in Norwich

I left sad and annoyed. I have favourably reviewed this cafe in the past but it has all changed now, and not for the better. The kitchen has gone, and with it the expresso machine. Frankly, this can hardly claim to be a cafe. I paid £5.70 for a miserable excuse for a cappuccino and a flapjack. The coffee was very weak, with thin froth on the top. The flapjack was decent, but the bill was a joke. I will remember the old days with affection, but I won't be going back.

Friendly staff and surroundings. Good pastries and soup. But no espresso.

Lovely cafe with good vibes and delicious food. 💕🌈🌞Would recommend to friends and family.

Delicious decaff oat Latte, in heavenly yogic surrounds

Lovely, chilled café serving the best soups, coffee & brownies! A wonderful oasis in the centre of the city

Between John Lewis and Sainsbury's, with a much nicer space to sit indoors or outside, with homemade food and cake and great coffee. Recommended.

Beautiful spot right behind the bus station, just 5 minutes walk from the city center. Delicious homemade food and cakes run by genuine and friendly people. Lovely to go on your own or with group of friends. Can’t wait to go back!

What a great little find, beautiful home-made cakes, salads + smoothies definatly visiting here again!

Aquí, el menú del almuerzo es muy variado, con ingredientes locales frescos y sabrosos, pollo muy sabroso, ensalada verde con productos locales, arroz orgánico y otros elementos. Postre también fue increíble (brownie y pastel de sake). Llegamos a las 1130, lo que significaba que teníamos una buena mesa sin esperar. En 1230 cuando salimos había una cola. ¡Una gran parada en nuestro paseo por Honmura, parte de nuestra mañana en la Casa de Arte!

He estado aquí un par de veces, una gran selección de comida, cafés y tés y muy buen precio. También hay muchas opciones vegetarianas con las que a menudo lucho en Norwich.

Excellent soups and specials friendly and accommodating service would definitely visit again

Este es uno de esos cafés raros que cumple todos los requisitos. Organicé reuniones de negocios aquí, aparecí cuando me exigían tiempo para un almuerzo rápido, y me senté afuera en el sol mordisqueando tranquilamente un brownie mientras tomaba una taza de té. El personal aquí siempre sonríe y es muy acogedor, lo que ayuda a mantener el ambiente relajado y agradable. La comida es deliciosa y se ha pensado mucho en su galardonado menú, así que nunca me preocupa traer a alguien nuevo aquí. Dentro del café se exhiben artistas locales y, cuando hace buen tiempo, es genial sentarse junto a la hierba y mirar pasar el mundo. Ah, y si, como yo, a menudo terminas teniendo un almuerzo de trabajo, el wifi de alta velocidad es una gran ventaja.

Lovely quaint place for lunch. Great selection of teas and food, the ciabattas are particularly good. Service friendly and warm.

Este café tiene una sensación muy relajada, el personal es amable y el servicio es rápido ideal si, como mi hija, estás en un almuerzo, la comida es deliciosa, no una gran selección, básicamente tentempiés, pero vale la pena una visita, te recomiendo el atún / Estas son deliciosas y generosas en tamaño, si el clima lo permite, puedes sentarte fuera de ella en un lugar ideal, muy cerca del centro de la ciudad, pero lo suficientemente silencioso como para alejarte de todo y relajarte por un tiempo.

I visit once a week for Yoga and normally end up grabbing lunch too. The soups and salads are delicious and all home made. Highly recommend dropping in to give it a try

Me encanta este lugar - he estado con amigos Familia y esta vez en mi lonesome - pero su ese tipo de lugar donde te sientas cómodo. La cebolla caramelised y queso de cabra tostado chiabatta era precioso, recién preparada y caliente a la mesa por unas 4 libras, con una gran selección de tés candela como 2 libras. Incluso yo estaba tentado por la frambuesa brownie en 2 libras. 50, que era el auténtico y delicioso. Limpio y ordenado, buen servicio, buen restaurante, accesible - gran edificio servicios públicos limpios. Además de una buena elección de la hora de comer salchichas orgánico inc caliente o frío Ciabatta de jamón, atún o haveys etc. además de chaquetas, ensaladas a un precio razonable, junto con super bollos altos y deliciosa pasteles cocidos. No tuve que esperar mucho, mi único comentario fue la lechuga necesita un extra de spin, pero sabes ha sido cuidadosamente lavadas, gran vestidor. Realmente recomendable.

Been here before so quite happy to meet friend for quick lunch as she doesn't have long. Considering the cafe must rely on nearby workers (obviously Aviva) coming in we were very disappointed at the length of time they took to serve our food. We only had soup and a sandwich but it took nearly half an hour which meant we had very little time left to eat it. It wasn't very busy either. Nothing wrong with the food but why did it take so long? My friend said she would not recommend the cafe to fellow workers purely because of the time factor. Shame.

Beautifully restored historic building. Excellent food & lovely staff.

I pop into this cafe on a regular basis. The staff are very friendly, it's spotless and the food is lovely. They have chairs and tables outside and it's a real sun trap. The brownies are lovely as is the goats cheese sandwich. They also do discount for certain employers which is fab!

Lovely place with friendly staff and wonderful fresh food. Have been many times, has disabled access and toilet.

Good food reasonably priced and very friendly welcoming staff. Highly recommend this little café :)

We had a very nice visit to the newly refurbished cafe on All Saints Green. My wife and I, and our 2yr old had a lovely coffee and cake break from a sunny wander round Norwich city centre. The coffee was great and whole selection of homemade cakes looked tantalising. However I settled on a chocolate and pecan brownie and the wife had orange cake. Wonderful! The building was very well renovated, the staff were very welcoming (and knowledgeable about all the classes available in the studios upstairs and next to the cafe.) The Acorn Cafe is fully recommended. We will be returning, however living 130miles away does stupid being such frequent visits.

A lovely, small start-up café in the heart of Norwich. Great for a light bite to eat

Lovely little cafe with a warm atmosphere. Delightful food freshly prepared as you order. Lovely tea, coffee, homemade cakes & scones. Friendly and efficient staff. Love this place for a spot of lunch or tea and cake!

Have been in twice now for Saturday lunch, both times the food was superb. Great food, lovely staff,reasonable prices. Will certainly be going again.

My first visit to the Acorn Cafe for lunch with a couple of friends was an enjoyable experience. Greeted by friendly staff and the lovely smell of baking chocolate brownies. The toasted paninis were tasty, the drinks good quality and the pecan brownie that I took home with me was delicious and, with a scoop of ice cream, was big enough for two to share. If I meet friends for lunch we usually go to John Lewis, but The Acorn will be a regular venue from now on.

I visited here for the first time with a friend for lunch. It was nice and relaxing. I had the bacon sandwich which came with crisps and a bit of salad. In hindsight I should have had a different sandwich or asked for no crisps, as I've reduced salt a lot in my diet and bacon and crisps are very salty. The bacon was cooked well though and the bread was good. The salad had a nice mustardy dressing on, which I liked but my friend didn't, as she doesn't like mustard! She had butternut squash soup which she quite liked but said she would have preferred not to have curry spices in it. I actually like it with spice in and usually add it if I make my own soup. My friend also had the smoked salmon bagel, which she said was good. The bagel was huge. It's certainly good value food if you look at prices some other places charge. It would be nice to have a couple of salads on the menu, I don't always fancy bread. The staff were lovely; friendly and helpful. I would definitely go again. It's 'far from the madding crowd'.

I have been watching the renovation of this beautiful building for a while and I am happy to see its been put to good use. So lovely to have a beautiful yoga studio and cafe right on my doorstep. I stopped by with my husband and baby daughter for a drink and a slice of the delicious brownie. It was great. Lovely friendly staff and a nice space for a moment of calm in the city.

Stopped by to look at the newly renovated building that appear from behind construction barriers recently. Inside a stunning historical building is a fantastic little cafe! The coffee and carrot cake were amazing and served by a charming lady. I took a small look around the building and found out that it doubles as a yoga studio! While I'm not the yoga type, it's a great mix to have. Maybe I should try a class to get in shape for summer!!! Overall, great place with a lovely bit of historic Norwich brought back to life!

Wonderful café. Superb staff and atmosphere with excellent coffee. Very tempting brownies and delicious food smells. Just popped in for a coffee bur will be back for lunch. Beautiful cafe with local artists work up also.

We popped into this cafe on the off chance and we were pleasantly surprised. The surroundings were extremely neat and tidy and very clean. Ivana, our server was very helpful and attentive. There was a nice selection of teas and the carrot cake was delicious. This cafe is well worth a visit if you are passing by.
