Lovely atmosphere, however one of the member of the staff is not really welcoming. The menu details should improved as not written all ingredients it is better to have better information before ordering your meal.

We arrived in Norwich, to commence ‘the adventures of the Norfolk Coast’ for a cheeky long weekend & found ourselves thirsty & hungry. The Bicycle Shop had great street appeal & we were greeted by the lovely David when peeking in. Great aperol spritz & Negroni to start with. Followed by a scrumptious sweet potato sandwich & delicious fresh white bait. Thank you David for your recommendation for dinner; the XO Kitchen - again delicious. We’ll be with you next Saturday with family. Thank you 🤩 Highly recommended!

We were heading to Strangers near by when we passed this coffee shop and decided to turn back and stop by as we prefer to support independent shops. We were after coffee and a cake, I decided to not to order anything as the menu was lacking of coffees, husband ordered a cake, he had to walk in to see where his cake is after 20-25 minutes waiting and apparently his cake just got ready when he walked in. The shop wasn't busy, couple of people was sitting outside so I don't understand why did it take so long to put 1 cake on a plate.

Eggs benedict - Hollandaise sauce, just perfect. Not vinegar flavour and heavy texture. Coffee just how we like. Not fruit. Quirky and very clean place. Attentive and friendly host.

We came in after 8 o’clock with two young children (after a horrendous day of travel), and they were super sweet. Found a table for us, brought the kids some free custard tarts (which they loved!) and took our order. We had various tapas and a baked Camembert and it was all brought promptly and was delicious. Just a really nice atmosphere and great service and food, totally saved our day!

This is a great spot in Norwich. It holds a very specail place to me because it was the first place my partner and I went to dinner on our first date. We returned for our second anniversary dinner and were so impressed by the range of vegitarian options avaliable, as well as the kindness and generosity of the staff. One in particular took the time to guide me through the menu to deal with a tricky onion and garlic intollerance. I really appreciate the effort. The food is very reasonably priced and so flavourful and expertly cooked. The atmosphere is great too, it has an intimet atmosphere and is cosy, especially when it rains quite hard like it did on our tip Friday 5th July. We will be back for Brunch in the future

The portions are very small and the food is very bland, although the poached eggs were all cooked to perfection. It seems far too expensive for the quality to be honest. The vibe is all very much 'GEN Z'

everything i order usually is amazing. the majority of the staff are lovely apart from one member — i’m not too sure if he’s the manager? there’s been multiple instances where he’s been nothing but unwelcoming and quite rude to me and those i’ve been with. there was one instance in which me and a friend came into the shop to order our food to which the said member of staff asked if we wanted a menu; when we politely declined and said we know what we’re having, he gave us both incredibly dirty looks and became almost standoffish — he also just proceeded to not go about whatever he was doing, stood in front of us so we couldn’t reach the counter to order, and just stared at us until we said we’re going to sit outside? to which he just said ‘umm okay?’ despite the sign outside asking for people to come in and say hi before sitting outside. in another instance we went into the shop to inquire if it was okay if we sat outside, the same member of staff quickly brushed us off as if we were inconveniencing him in some way and simply told us to go sit outside and he’ll come take our order. we sat outside for about 30 minutes and not once did anyone let alone the member of staff come to take our order — so we just left. there’s been so many instances in which i’ve been sitting outside and every single time he side eyes me whilst going in and out of the shop. i’m not too sure if he’s just like this or if he seriously has something against me — regardless he makes the environment very very uncomfortable and i now avoid going to the shop at all.

A really excellent restaurant with a wide range of dishes especially catering for vegan/veggie but not to the exclusion of meat and fish offerings. Great range of drinks, well selected draft beers, wine and spirits. We took our dog who was made very welcome and enjoyed a lot of attention from the staff/owner. We enjoyed chicken thigh with mustard, slow cooked lamb, goat cheese and beetroot salad, followed by Pain au Chocolat bread and butter pudding. Highly recommended.

I had lunch here today with a friend for the first time since COVID lockdowns in 2020 and was so happy, the atmosphere is still as lovely and charming as I remember, the waitress was really friendly and the food was great. I had poached eggs on avocado toast with rocket, the poached eggs were perfect. We also had a side order of twice cooked fries which were some of the nicest fries I've ever had. One of the nicest lunches and a very delightful afternoon.

Yesterday, with having a pooch with us, we were looking for somewhere pet friendly, and we couldn't have found a better place. The staff were super friendly, and the food was outstanding and reasonably priced. If it's a sterile mainstream cafe you're after, then don't come here or do come here to experience an atmospheric quirky artisan cafe. If i didn't live 350 miles away, i would definitely make this my go-to cafe.

Had a lovely relaxed 3 hr first date here Saturday lunchtime..an old favourite,the Bicycle Shop is as good as ever..nice beer and cocktails..lovely Portuguese tarts..only let down slightly by a somewhat uninspiring latte. Don't worry,they do what they do very well and there's a lovely atmosphere enhanced as always by the mismatched crockery! Almost perfect,but as a cofficianado,it wasn't quite 5 stars. Still love you guys and we'll be back for another date soon xx

I had the best breakfast here and I'm so glad I visited on my last morning in Norwich. They have a really good selection of food, and were able to make it gluten free as well. The cafe has a really nice vibe and everyone working there is so friendly. You have the option to sit outside or in, and inside they had music playing but it wasn't overly loud, just created a really nice background. The food was so good and if I come back to Norwich I will definitely visit again.

I’ve been wanting to make a trip to The Bicycle Shop for a while. So while I was out entertaining the smallest of our tribe I decided today would be a great day to go. I chose the eggs royale and it was beautifully created and thoroughly enjoyed. The child went off menu and opted for a lovely little scrambled egg with toast. Seating was plentiful for such a small place and it has a great interior design. All the staff were polite and happy to help which I love. Thank you I’m sure there will be more delights to come

I usually enjoy my time at this bohemian and relaxing cafe, but unfortunately I experienced racial discrimination when I last went. When I questioned being treated differently (loudly demanding payment from me in advance, in front of the other customers, none of whom had been asked to settle their bills before being served). After being challenged about it he insisted the only reason he’d treated me differently was that he was busy at that moment (really!?! Unconscious much…!?!) I’ve given two stars because the bone marrow dish I had was delicious- just a bit tainted by the waiter….

As a couple we went twice in a week, the second time because we’re so pleased with the food and the service, but the second time was a disappointment. On the first visit our meals were the sea bass and the fish pie, which was a “special” and had nice chunks of salmon, prawns and white fish with a hot mash topping, obviously freshly cooked, both meals were excellent. Also the person serving us was very knowledgeable about the food and the drinks menu. The Mediterranean style lager was surprisingly tasty as he said. He also took some time to talk with us, which was very welcoming. However on our second visit the service was slower, there was no “specials” menu and the food we chose was disappointing. The chicken curry was pleasant but not outstanding, and there didn’t appear to be much variety of flavours in the sauce. The lasagne appeared very basic, okay but not outstanding. It almost felt like we’re in a different pub! The redeeming feature was the log fire near our table which added to a good atmosphere.
