The Coffee Lounge in Breckland

I popped in with my partner to be confronted by the male manager who seemed to be seething, rushing around in an angry strop , dropping cutlery ( spoons ) all over the floor before picking them all up and putting them straight into the public cutlery tray ( let's hope nobody had dog poo on their shoes that day! ). He also rudely looks people up and down from head to toe, overtly which is extremely bad mannered and me and my partner left soon as we were sick of noticing him. The drinks? Extra large mugs are a normal kitchen mug size with a head on the latte taking up a quarter of the mug ( I would dread to see what a small cup looks like ). On a plus side, the female staff seem polite but the contaminated cutlery issue means that this place cannot be recomended

Best mocha latte I've had in ages...definitely will be my regular coffee shop in the future. The locvation in the centre of town is perfect too

I always enjoy the coffee here and the whole family love it as they do milkshakes/hot chocolates galore! Food is always of a high standard and the cakes are awesome! I would definitely suggest here for a quick take away or a cosy seat and catch up with a friend.

Ordered four lattes and it came to around £15 which is normal for coffee, however they would only stamp my coffee card once as it’s per transaction. So I asked if I could do the transactions separately and the female serving me snottily said no as if I had asked her to produce me a bar of gold? The bacon rolls are absolute grease central, want a blood clot? Go here! The owner kerry can be quite blunt when it’s busy, and rude when all you’re trying to do it pay. I wouldn’t come back here personally due to the atmosphere, and the staff can be rude.

Staff are so polite and friendly, hands down one of the best coffees i have ever had. Beautiful brownie too

We attended a family wedding in the town but arrived a little early. We dropped into The Coffee Lounge and was met with cheery smiles and a warm welcome by the staff. We could chose to sit out back in the courtyard, in the main coffee room or front of the shop. You could read and relax and no one hurried you. The quality and taste of the coffee, hot chocolate and cakes were wonderful. Not expensive at all. Thank you for the warm welcome we shall return!

Attleborough is not short of cafes but this one is my personal favourite. I don’t know why, but there is always a nice feel to this one. Maybe it is the hospitable host or the calming decor but it brings about a feeling of calmness. The seating area is split into two areas. At the front is the seats in the window and the flow of people coming in and out. At the rear is the lounge area with tables or comfy chairs. Of course, it only takes a few boisterous characters to alter the entire feel of the place for other customers but that is true of all cafes. Worth a particular mention is the loo, which is clean, massive and includes a baby changing area.

This coffee shop has the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted! Genuine Italian! Situated right on the square it has newspapers to read and lots of seating. I usually pop in once a week for my fix! While shopping!

Great breakfast choices and excellently cooked and served with a smile. We were made to feel most welcome and the value was excellent with big portions, can't fault anything. Will certainly be returning soon.

Often come in to grab a cup of green tea or a bite to Eat and always great service and great food! Nice selection of tea/coffee and cold drinks as Well, also a nice food menu! Thanks!

Every once in a while you come across something so great, it quickly erases any memory of life had before it. Mobile phones with Internet, WiFi, catch up TV (does anyone actually watch anything live now) to name just a few. One thing however that never seemed to catch on was a coffee shop that actually served a cracking cup of coffee but also decent food. All at a reasonable price. In my opinion not much to ask for in what is a very saturated market. However what started as a slight annoyance soon turned into a quest reminiscent of Frodos journey with a certain ring. I tried many places with no luck. Whether it's half decent food but bitter coffee or great coffee with appalling, overpriced food. I was contemplating giving up on my quest when, by absolute chance, I stumbled across the coffee lounge in Attleborough. Just imagine my absolute jubilation when I took a sip from my latte and didn't wince, I then found myself subconsciously taking more and more sips of this incredible coffee. I turned to look at the food and was amazed to see plenty of options; main meals, paninis, salads or just a bit of cake - all looking in fine condition and of a size that could actually "Fill a Hole". I personally went for the chicken and red onion panini which was strange for me seeing as I dont like onion. Maybe I started enjoying my quest that i was on and having a reason to complain about something so much that I almost wanted it to be bad... it wasnt.... It was great and all for a reasonable price. Therefore I have to admit that my quest is over. I have found the coffee shop, in the name of a lounge, that serves a cracking cup of coffee with decent food at a reasonable price. I now regularly come to this place to get a coffee and panini and each time it just gets better and better. Brilliant.

Dads favourite coffee shop, really nice welcome, they know his coffee with a shot And alaways give him the largest slice of millionaires short bread. He is 80 and loves to visit this place

Popped in to have a quick bite to eat and a drink had a nice burger quite cheap. cafe area seems a little small but not claustrophobic. food was very nice and worth a visit for a quick bite to eat

Good hot coffee a combination that so many coffee shop seem to struggle with. Girls always smiling and a little morning banter Good way to start the day

Stopped in here of an early evening as I needed something to help wake me up a bit. I was served quickly - the coffee was as good as ever to my untrained taste buds. This Cafe also offers a range of things to eat. It's also breastfeeding friendly so should be ideal for parents with toddlers and young children.

The staff are very friendly, always happy to talk to the customers. As an artist, the café owners appear to not mind if I paint. The coffee is excellent and just what you need.

Durante mi tiempo de estar en Alicante he visitado muchas tiendas de café, pero ninguno ha conseguido hacer mejor café que el salón de café. Con una amplia gama de bocadillos, pasteles y opciones, el Café Lounge es perfecto para cualquier momento del día.

Very welcoming staff. I got served the first oreo milkshake and it was fantastic, would definitely come in again to get one. I would also highly recommend them to friends and family.

Called in for a light lunch. Friendly welcome, clean and pleasant surroundings, tasty food and very good value...a real find.

I decided to try a coffee from here as I had a short wait while waiting for a coach pick up. I was served quickly by friendly staff and the latte I had was good. I'd rate the coffee lounge higher but I only had a takeaway drink. The cakes on offer looked tempting so I will try to visit here again at some point.

Food and drinks all reasonably priced. Food always tastes good. Food is cooked to order. Service is friendly and efficient. I have a very small negative point. The restaurant is split into three areas. Areas 2 & 3 are often closed off for cleaning from 3:30. The restaurant does not close until 5! Sometimes the front area is really cramped and we have asked to use back seating but have been told no! It's closed for cleaning! Shame as its a small niggle that could so easily be rectified so easilu

Popped in for a cuppa very nice indeed as was the chocolate cake delicious indeed. Place was very busy, I was greeted by a man who told me he was the chef with a big smile and great service will be returning next time I'm in the area.

Always enjoy a trip to the Coffee Lounge. Your always welcomed with a smile and friendly service. My young Grandson loves his Saturday visit. We have met family and friends there. Your never rushed, it's very clean and food of good quantity and quality

A relaxing, welcoming and friendly atmosphere where you are not rushed whether you are just having a coffee or something to eat.

This establishment has come on in leaps and bounds since my last review. Management and staff are very friendly, the service is good and the food is very good with a varied selection.

I needed a quick lunch - and the Coffee Lounge ticked all the boxes. Fish and chips at £3.35 was the special. Cooked whilst i waited, with mushy peas. Hot, tasty and enjoyable. A fair sized pot of tea filled the cup three times, a piece of shortbread to die for - at 75p!! Good pleasant service, clean, a decent paper to browse through whilst waiting. But I was the only one in the back main dining area. Come on you people of Attleborough - you're missing out here.

Unlike other reviews the service was friendly and efficient. Great to see places like this being Frequented by the local community. Could do with some attention to detail in respect of finishing touches and coffee could be better.

The standard of coffee seems to have gone down compared with that of the previous owners. A reasonable but limited menu although that is better than before.As someone who visits Attleborough frequently I like one or two other cafes better.Give it a try if you wish but is not for me. Scope for improvement. The infrastructure is there but all else needs improving.Closes too early too.

Had an hour or so to spare and stopped off. Coffee good, quite clean but service and helpfulness were below average. Like other reviews favoured regulars over new visitors but would try again

Nice food with great view & lovely staff that always do their best to please you. Great for midweek lunches & breakfasts! Very reasonably priced!! :)

Nice place to get a great coffee, lovely welcome every time from Sarah. Good to see young people a chance to get some experience in life skills, good varied menue. Papers and free wifi

Have been here twice and both times felt i had gatecrashed a private party such was the unwelcome that i received.. No smiles or greetings, just a stare.The food was OK but I wont be back until someone convinces me that the staff have learned some customer service techniques

Haven't been into the coffee lounge for a while and certainly won't be rushing back!! Walked in to a frosty silent atmosphere, staff didn't welcome us, left standing for what seemed like ages without even acknowledging our presence !! Could very easily have walked out !! Very poor customer service, what's happened ??

Unfortunately it was the last one they are holding before it moves to Wymondham but what a fantastic meal, everything was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic, ambience delightful, chef came out and chatted, I can honestly say its the most delicious meal I have had in a long time and we will definitely be visiting wymondhm when it opens there

The Moroccan night is something a little bit different and great value for money. Three courses with tea or coffee costs just £20 per person. The Coffee Lounge does not have an alcohol licence but you are welcome to bring your own. Soft drinks, smoothies, teas and coffees are served as usual though.Very tasty, good quality food and something for everyone.The owner/chef coming out of the kitchen to enquire after the food is a very nice touch. I understand that he will be taking over the Consort Hotel's (Wymondham) kitchen in the New Year on a Friday and Saturday night and we will definitely return!

Been in here a few times but only go there when the other coffee shops aren't open. Coffee is ok and all the bought in cakes and biscuits are ok.Have sat in the back room when a whole crowd of mums & toddlers came in and took over. They were regulars and weren't so the staff made no effort to ensure we were happy with the sudden invasion.Walls next to the tables were stained with spilt coffee & as the staff are all young there doesn't seem to be any focus on anything other than basic cleanliness.Still ok though but I'd rather go elsewhere for a more personal service.

Good coffee, sandwiches and cakes. Perfect lunchtime treat for those on a break. Can't say anything bad about this place.

Loved The Coffee Lounge. The coffee is always good. Excellent service everything feels special.

Always a smile from the staff here. Ali the owner is a very pleasant guy, do try his Morrocan evenings on Friday evenings, but make sure you book!
