The Green Grocers in Norwich

Marketing is really bad and difficult to get details such as full menu, details for parking. Wait time on food is a lot longer than expected and car parking is a nightmare. Fines for over one hour. Parking system doesn't have contactless and is online website. In an area with no signal. Genius. Got served alternative drinks that we didn't order. Asked for coke cola got some vegan alternative that had more e numbers than coke does.. shame as food was really nice once it arrived after 40 mins when said ten.

The green grocers is an excellent brunch cafe and local produce shop, but they also serve fresh homemade pizzas on Thursday-Saturday evenings, and they are exceptional. The dough is made fresh daily, that gives every pizza a light base and fluffy crust. The ingredients are high quality and the menu simple but well executed. The menu also offers a wide range of add-ons giving a great deal of flexibility with your pizzas, at a reasonable price. Slightly out of the city centre but easily walkable. There are only few places in Norwich offering this style and quality of pizza however the green grocers is by far the best! 10/10 every time!

I’ve used this cafe to grab a coffee, they do that really well. But I saw a breakfast bought out for a diner , it looked so nice , I ordered one too. Wow , possibly one of the best I’ve had . Top quality components cooked perfectly . I asked the girl how they make their baked beans so nice ? They make themselves from dried beans available in the store ! Clearly the bubble and squeak was homemade too. This place is certainly worth coming across town for , there is loads of parking in the shopping complex and on the road and it’s not as busy as the city centre

Great cafe, with a shop as well; friendly service and very reasonably priced (£12 for an iced coffee and full english), with good veggie and vegan alternatives.

Very polite service, highly recommend!

So disappointed with the sourdough baguette I bought this morning. Clearly not baked today - rock hard and dry. I've always enjoyed your bread until today. But this loaf was not fresh. Also, sad to see all loaves now in plastic bags!

What an awesome find! The pizza was so tasty, freshly made and good value for money, highly recommended. The vibe was great and the team were super friendly and attentive. We will be back.

Lovely food lovely staff quite pricey

Amazing coffee, atmosphere and menu. Best pizza in the city just don't tell anyone.

Best pizza in town! Plus swift friendly service from great people.

The shop has a wide range of produce which is generally eco-friendly, organic, ethical etc. The cafe serves some delicious food and good quality coffee. Sadly service is too variable, some staff need a bit more training and supervision. The pizza take-away is usually excellent.

Great food. Food always top quality, tasty, well presented and helpful friendly staff, recommended

My wife and I popped in for a light lunch and were so pleased with the warm greeting and lovely home made food (the quiche was delicious, with crunchy coleslaw). We'll be back! Thanks

Wonderful! I found this place by chance but fell in love with this cozy place and the atmosphere. The service is friendly and fast. They have a good variety in their menu. As someone that cooks and bakes in his freetime it is really hard to impress me with food, but this place achieved it. I had East Anglia Breakfast with peppermint tea and it was delicious! This enlgish breakfast will be hard to beat in the future and will always put a smile on my face. I can also recommend their store next to the restaurant with organic and selfbaked bread. From 5pm, they also serve pizza, which I will try the next time I visit Norwich!

Great food and the guy who served us was really friendly . One assistant looked a bit bored and not into it !

Just had lunch here with my son. Staff friendly, service good, lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed the food. Will be visiting again

We had soup of the day with cheese toasties , the soup was reasonable but the cheese toasties were very disappointing. The cafe could do with a good deep clean , under the bench seating the floor is covered with electrical wiring and the cleaners mop has never been anywhere near.

I didn't want to have to leave such a negative review, because in theory I should never want to leave this place. It has amazing local produce, a cafe that (was) brilliant (until they upped the price of the Buddha Bowl by £5!) and plenty of plant-based eats. But the staff here have always been so rude to me. I come here quite often and I am treated like I'm an inconvenience every time. I try to strike up conversation and they blank me. For God’s sake, I'm giving them my money, the least they could do is answer my questions or smile back at me when I say hello. The worst part is, it always seems to be the older folk who (I assume) own the place. I would almost expect this behaviour from the young people, but if anything, they're usually somewhat nicer (especially the man with the American/Canadian accent? He's the only one who's actually friendly!). I would have thought with a shop that's largely about ethics, they would be kinder and warmer people, but I always feel so unwelcome. Trust me, I would not leave a review like this if this treatment was a one-off occasion, but this is every time I go in there. Every time I am made to feel like a complete bother. I'm not sure what's worse; if they treat everyone this poorly or if it's only me. I'm having to assume it's only me, otherwise nobody would go there, which is such a shame. If it wasn't for the fact it was so close to my house, I would take my custom elsewhere, but honestly, every time I go in there I feel more and more resentful giving my money to a business owned by such sour and unkind people. To the staff, if you're reading this, please, please think about your behaviour. You truly make me feel bad about myself sometimes.

Nice grocery shop, I love the bread here

Really nice food excellent and staff

Have taken several members of my family here on different occasions. Food is lovely and so are the staff 😋

Absolutely love this cafe and shop. The outside is a little unassuming but it’s such a lovely unique little place inside! The coffee is very decent, they offer alternative milks (including almond which is becoming harder to find). Brunch here is absolutely delicious, no problems making substitutions or additions to dishes, and all gluten free options are great - the gf bread is at times hard to believe is gluten free! I’ve always checked, and I’m always reassured. I love the smashed avocado, which is plated with a delicious green sauce at the edge and balsamic. I often add an extra poached egg (recommend!). The staff are knowledgable, friendly, and helpful, absolutely top service. Can be a wait for a table, but definitely worth it. Not the fastest at weekends, as they have limited space and in busy hours can take a little time, so don’t head here at peak hours if you’re in a rush. Perfect for a leisurely brunch. During weekdays it’s much quieter and often super fast. Dog friendly outside but not indoors - there is outdoor seating, it can get blustery so bring layers if you’re sitting outside! The shop next door has plenty of refill and no waste options, the fruit here is some of the nicest I’ve had. Always great to pick up a few bits, they stock a good range considering size, including toiletries. It’s worth noting that parking is free for an hour, beyond that it’s paid via an app, and there is ANPR in use here. Also the spaces aren’t particularly big, and on the upper side there is a hill and some hefty bollards, so be warned: if you don’t have reversing cameras or parking bleepers, you’ll have a challenge, plus there is a cafe full of people who will watch you park with a lot interest.

Although this place says it’s open until 5pm, they refuse to cook you any food after 3:30… or at least this has been my experience on multiple occasions. I have been turned down numerous times when the business hours state they are open for another 1 and a half hours. The service here tends to be poor, and you have to flag down a waiter if you want your bill, and then wait another 15 mins to be able to pay it. Would not recommend.

My second home. I'm pretty sure I should benpaying rent at this stage...

We came to Norfolk to visit family & my wife picked this place because it has great reviews. We drove almost three hours in the pouring rain, hoping we would be rewarded by the all day breakfast. We needn’t have worried. The Anglian is a feast for the road weary as well as being great value for money (compared to the south anyway) Will definitely come back.

Ordered 2 Flat whites (takeaway) which we waited for ten minutes for and checked in to see how long, ignored at door, went back to waiting as I had already paid and they look somewhat busy for a 10 table cafe, another ten minutes went by this time was given an apology for the wait and the girl making drinks was “trying her best” she made 4 drinks in 15 minutes, surely needed help but none given, 5 minutes pass and I see two takeaway coffees arrive at a dining table that arrived 5 minutes prior, 2 coffees arrive which were a latte and an espresso, we waited 25 minutes for the wrong order! At least they were warm!

I could spent days in here browsing the wonderful goods

I often shop for my groceries at The Green Grocers and absolutely love it for its local /organic/ low waste produce, but this was my first time trying out the adjoining pizza restaurant. Simple menu but extremely delicious and the price is surprisingly low. If you live in Norwich or nearby please support this fantastic local business.

Friendly and accommodating place for breakfast. They were great in my painful diet which is keto, and so were very flexible in removing the lovely looking sourdough! The rest of the family really enjoyed their food.

Dropping in here for a coffee or some excellent quality goods always makes my day.

Delicious food The buddha bowl is amazing Excellent service too

Have the chefs changed? The breakfast was not good quality. Cold toast, uncooked tomatoes and mushrooms that felt and tasted microwaved. No seasoning. It was all a little insipid, lacking in care or professional pride. We left food on our plates and were not asked by any staff, why or if there was an issue. £26 for 2 breakfasts and drinks. It needs to be better quality. We used to enjoy eating here but have had 2 very disappointing meals in the past few months. In future we will take our custom elsewhere.

Full of great food just like a shop full of treasures

They do lovely vegan breakfast & lunch (I have yet to try their pizzas). I also really enjoyed their wide selection of vegan bakes and the tasty smoothies!

Very nice food and friendly service.

i came here with my friend for coffee (we were too late for food) and it was so lovely! the seating area outside was lovely and sheltered, and the inside was spacious. the connecting shop was absolutely brimming with vegan goodies that you can’t get in supermarkets and i loved it all! it also has a weight & save section which is awesome for those who are reducing waste. overall a lush place and will be coming back to shop soon!🌿

Had a delightful breakfast at this little cafe today ! Absolutely lovely professional friendly staff and accommodating for my Vegan requests ! Lovely shop as well with such a huge variety of locally sourced food ! What a gem!!!

Really tasty pizzas especially the Neapolitan, great value too 😋

Really great food and great coffee!

Always a lovely meal. Good atmosphere and nice to stock up on healthy food

A great little spot for some coffee, working on university projects and buying sustainable goods. We used this little cafe/shop to work on our university sustainability projects where we could set up our laptops in the cafe whilst also looking at some sustainable products for our research. The staff here are really friendly, the coffee is great, the wifi is fast and the shop has some amazing products.

Great spot for breakfast, loads of choice for both veggies and meat eaters, great prices and super fresh produce. The shop attached is a dream too, loads of delicious fresh produce, vegetarian bits and bobs, a bakery and heaps of other stuff.

I have posted a deeper review of The Green Grocer’s in Norwich before, so this is just a quick one to say how much I enjoyed my recent visit as it is always such a pleasure. I go to GG every time I’m in Norwich, and it is always brilliant. Lovely staff, wonderful food. Check out my breakfast (smashed avocado…) it was a work of art. Utterly delicious, and great value for money. In the words of Arnie, I’ll be back…

Quality organic local produce. Quite expensive though. Located on edge of golden triangle where things are higher priced and people have higher earnings.

Great food, fun staff, all at a good price

I eat at the Green Grocers quite often and the food is generally pretty good. However, I popped in for brunch and ordered a sausage ciabatta roll. The roll was fine but it only contained 3 tiny chipolatas I total so not even proper sausages. There was much more bread than sausage. Very disappointing and not good value for money. Not sure I will bother going eating there again.

Always great food and great service, relaxing atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and helpful :)

Lovely place, really nutritious and delicious options. Great smoothies as well. The little shop is really lovely with lots on offer and a good bulk section too.

Really great Pizza! and the nightly deal of £10 for a Pizza and a drink makes it affordable. Only downside is the very limited selection of draft beer.

A lovely place to go and get some food and meet friends.

Great food and atmosphere, little chilly inside though which made it slightly uncomfortable.

Thought it about time i made my thoughts on record. The staff are the best which makes for good vibes

Really impressed with first visit not only with the shop but cafe. Good range of products in shop and excellent menu. Very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back with friends.

Best vegan breakfast I've had so far, it's a shame we're an 8 hour drive away. Next time we're in Norwich, we'll be back.

I have been coming here for years. I'm Vegan and the Vegan options are brilliant. My wife is vegetarian with a gluten allergy and she is always well catered for. We usually have a breakfast and then tea and cake. Their adjoining shop is fantastic, artisan bread, ethical products etc. They primarily cater for the "Norm" so if you want traditional food they do that too. I'm hoping to head back one evening for their pizza evenings.

Always a nice atmosphere and a lovely oat milk hot chocolate. Never disappointed!

The Norfolk breakfast was the best cooked breakfast I have ever eaten that I've not cooked myself. Thank you delicious!

Charming restaurant with great food. Hidden away in the plaza it's likely mostly locals that visit. The best English breakfast I had while on vacation.

Long overdue review. I first experienced The Green Grocer’s in September 2018, and I’ve been meaning to say how good it is ever since. Great place for a healthy breakfast, satisfying lunch, afternoon tea, or just a coffee. I had the “Norfolk Vegan” breakfast which was tasty and filling. Plenty of choice on the menu. The pizzas (available on certain evenings) are delicious as well, some are super experimental. Lovely staff, there’s a very strong sense of community here. The shop sells all sorts, you could get everything you might ever need from here, from organic vegan shampoo to quirky local beers.

Weit und breit die einzige Möglichkeit auf Bioessen und Bioeinkauf. Das Ambiente muss man wegdenken, denn die Einkaufspassage ist eher trist, der Außenbereich ebenfalls. Das Essen macht alles wett, kreativ, köstlich, gut gewürzt. Personal sehr freundlich und engagiert.

From the dough to the cheese, to the expertly paired toppings you've never heard of, The Greengrocers does the best vegan pizza in Norwich (and we've done some serious taste testing to come to this decision).

All the favourites - healthy food and baked bread amazing. Delivery is efficient and prompt Highly recommend this for delivery in lockdown. Really large range of items

Getting coffee for 2 on valentine's day we went to our favourite local at the green grocer's. It was due to close at 4pm, we got there at 10 minutes to 4, but were rudely battered away because they hypocritical and simply awful customer service. Greengrocers food 4* Service usually alright but just ruined Atmosphere 5* I'll re-review when less irritable.

Strong competition for some of the best pizzas I've ever had in Norwich! Definitely one of the best options for vegan groceries and vegan pizza. Pre-covid their service was brilliant and still is with extra friendly delivery !

Spent the whole day here and it was wonderful. Staff were lovely, food was delicious and smoothies were 10/10!

Encontramos este café por casualidad y fuimos a tomar un café: me gustó tanto que volvimos a almorzar, que estaba delicioso. Recomendamos los sándwiches tostados, en particular. La tienda adjunta vende pan maravilloso, un montón de hierbas, especias e ingredientes inusuales, y tiene una buena variedad de artículos de recarga, como frutas secas, avena, nueces, etc.

Llegué a desayunar hoy. Hace bastante tiempo. Personal y servicio muy amables. Tenía un "East Anglia". Creo que se llamaba 10. 95 para un desayuno es bastante caro, especialmente porque las salchichas eran pequeñas! Huevos cocinados perfectamente pan encantador bacon recocido hermoso batido. Es muy peculiar y disfruté, sin embargo, lo que no disfruté fue tirarlo por el cuello, ya que ahora solo se te permite estacionar 1 hora, también es un sistema ANPR. No puedo imaginar cuántas personas suponen que son 2 horas y multado! Es muy probable que no volvamos por este motivo si está cobrando 10. 95 para un desayuno, ¡no puede esperar que la gente pague estacionamiento también!

Visted here for lunch a few times and Ive got to say its my favourite place to eat. Love trying all the meals on the menu and the smoothies and cakes are amazing! Staff are always friendly highly recommended. Don't leave without trying a vegan sasuage roll!!

Went here for lunch with a friend yesterday. It was one of those days that you don't have much time, its cold outside, you are hungry and just want something wholesome and good. Well of course, nobody does bread better than GG ...freshly baked every day. We both had a bowl of really nice soup with bread...I had the potato and rosemary bread which I love and my friends had the seeded bread. I had a gorgeous detox smoothie and my friends had a cappuccino which looked perfect.I only had a very small amount of bread...could have been chunkier and more generous on that portion. It was thinly cut. That is the only slight criticism.

Really enjoyed our food - my son particularly enjoyed the smashed avocado on toast, enquiring about the recipe!

Visited The Green Grocers today for a quick coffee and lunch. Lovely cosy and atmosphere and the young lady who served us was pleasant and friendly. There was a good choice of vegan, veggie, gluten free and local produce. We had a couple of sandwiches on potato and rosemary bread which had a very nice if slightly unusual taste, these were decent value for money. We also shared a vegan choclate chip cake which again was a very good size for the money. All in all a very good first experience for us and one we will endeavour to visit again.

This is my local coffee shop, and I love it. The menu is great and affordable. My kids adore the 60p hot chocolates. Service can be quite slow but if you're not in a rush then this is the perfect place to eat. All the produce is fresh and the atmosphere is great. The staff are lovely too.

Nos encantan las fruterías y visitamos en familia regularmente para la noche de pizza. Las opciones veganas son siempre creativas y hay 3 especiales más menús regulares para elegir. Gran selección de cervezas veganas y refrescos. Visité esta semana y hubo un pequeño problema con su horno de pizza, pero el personal (especialmente Jack) hizo todo lo posible para mantenernos felices sin gemir ni quejarse. El servicio al cliente siempre es excelente, el ambiente agradable y relajado es excelente para nuestro hijo pequeño.

Las pizzas son buenas (aunque no pensamos que fueran tan buenas como antes), pero no disfrutamos de nuestra experiencia nocturna. Son buenos durante el día para la comida del café, pero desafortunadamente no nos impresionaron en la noche y no volveremos a comer pizza por la noche. Todo lo que sirven es pizza, ensaladas y algunos pasteles por la noche, lo cual está bien, pero no está bien cuando no tienen varios artículos. No queda ensalada de zanahoria (eran las 8 de la tarde), son verduleros, seguramente tienen zanahorias sobrantes y el chef podría haber preparado otro lote de ensalada de zanahoria. Lamento decirlo, pero tuve la impresión de que nadie realmente podría ser molestado. Cuando se trataba de postres, apenas quedaba nada. Alrededor de las 9 pm, el personal comenzó a barrer / trapear el piso a nuestro alrededor (mientras todavía estábamos comiendo) y luego apiló las sillas en las mesas circundantes. Toda esta experiencia nos hizo sentir muy desagradables. Estoy seguro de que no fue algo personal, solo estaban "limpiando por la noche". Claramente, nadie ha capacitado al personal sobre los conceptos básicos de las mesas de espera y el servicio al cliente. El personal necesita sentarse en este entorno y ver cómo se sentiría como un cliente que paga, porque era muy desagradable. En una nota positiva, las pizzas estaban bien y era barato. Supongo que obtienes lo que pagas en la vida.

Visité después de una carrera en el parque el sábado por la mañana. Me sirvieron de inmediato, luego me sentaron y dentro de un tiempo razonable también me sirvieron.Tuve la tostada de aguacate, aunque agregué un huevo extra. Los precios son razonables y me encanta lo que representan la cafetería y la tienda. ¡Vale la pena visitarlo seguro!Me encanta que también esté fuera de la ciudad, agradable estar lejos del ajetreo y el bullicio del centro.

Always bring Mum and Dad here whenever they come to visit Norwich. Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of Vegan options.

Lovely cafe adjoining a green grocer which stocks great artisan bread to environmentally friendly cleaning products. Good menu, great organic food.

Visited here for the 2nd time as the food was amazing on our 1st visit.

First visit here and had a very nice breakfast. Good price and friendly service. Very recommended for a different eclectic experience. Lovely deli and shop too. Will visit again.

Absolutely love the Green Grocers. The pizza is outstanding and always very reasonably priced (usually between £8-£13). It's a great place for Vegans as there are always numerous options. The Vegan garlic bread is insanely good and absolutely huge. Staff are always friendly and there is a fantastic range of beers and wines. If you're a meat eater you'll get some fantastic food here, and they also have gluten free options. They also rotate local beers, which always go down a treat. We visit around once a month and we always look forward to our visit.

Realmente me encantó la sensación que tienes de este lugar. Tuve un boll de masa de tocino y huevo, agridulce, con salsa Norfolk conservada en color marrón, mi amigo disfrutó de un sándwich de tocino con pan blanco y ambos tuvimos una taza ordenada de capuchino. Una vez terminado, visité su pequeña y encantadora tienda y compré algunos huevos de gallina orgánica de rango libre y 6 huevos de pato.

For the first time in ages as a vegan I have been spoilt for choice!! This menu is amazing for vegans, veggies & meat eaters with so much choice for everyone! My only wish is there was one in Manchester!

The food was just excellent and the staff were brilliant I will be going back it is a great place to go. We just found this place to eat we had come from Kings Lynn to Norwich to participate in a workshop with the Mental Health service as a service user and we had just time to eat. My friend and I both brought a loaf of their lovely Bread.You need to go to The Green Grocers.

How lucky am I to have this great veg/vegan place on my doorstep ... Buddha bowls tastic lovely atmosphere, very local and friendly

As my beloved is doing slimming world and he's vegetarian, I thought this would be the perfect place for a big healthy salad! He said the choices were limited, but decided on the falafel salad without dressing and asked for a boiled egg instead of the hummus they had run out of. He said it was rather tasteless! I ordered the quiche with salad. Quiche was tasty and crustvwas very nice, sadly my salad tasted like it came from a bag without texture or taste. They were quite busy, but service wasn't great, we had to share 1 menu, then ask for cutlery, then again for 2 napkins, as they only brought us 1. I was disappointed as I had heard good things about it, but think I will still shop there, but eat elsewhere!

I visited with my husband for breakfast. Great little place. Friendly staff. Cafe and shop. Easy parking. So many vegan choices but also meat if you eat it . Even gluten free and most of what I saw was also organic. Wonderful shop. Certainly worth a visit.

En la zona comercial de Earlham House, en Norwich, merece la pena la visita. Advertencia ¡NO estacione su automóvil allí, el sistema de monitoreo electrónico del estacionamiento privado lo reservará!

He estado aquí un par de veces para desayunar como me han llevado miembros de la familia. He probado el desayuno vegetariano y vegetariano y ambos fueron decepcionantes y un poco anticuados, las salchichas eran insípidas y nada agradables y no entiendo por qué no hay una opción de hash brown.

Been here so many times for brunches, coffee etc and it’s always a treat. One of my favourite spots in norwich, both for its shop and the actual cafe 🌱

Mi amigo vive cerca, así que llamamos para el brunch. . El menú es ideal para cualquier momento del día, tuve un sabroso sándwich de pan tostado con espinacas, queso de cabra, piñones y pasas. . delicioso. Fue tentado por muchas otras cosas y también hay una gran selección para vegetarianos y veganos, por lo que cumple todos los requisitos. Informal y amigable. El servicio pudo haber sido más rápido, pero no teníamos prisa, así que no tenemos quejas.

Community atmosphere, vibrant. Great food either mornings or evenings. My family declared it the best pizza ever.... only weekend evenings, and I’m not s big pizza fan and I enjoyed it. Go and treat yourself if you are in the triangle!

Had heard amazing things from other people so my hopes were high. It is a lovely little place to eat. I've had the falafel wrap and the Norwich breakfast and they were both delicious. 4 stars only because the food can take quite a while, and their stock can get quite low meaning they run out of menu items quite quickly. I would definitely recommend though.

I visited with my adult kids. I’m on a vegan diet and my daughter is gluten free. There were choices for both of us and my son who eats meat. Lovely little cafe and food was good and service was very friendly. Great shop as well with so much organic choices. Would recommend

The Green Grocer cafe made an excellent pitstop for myself, my husband and my 89 year old mother. We needed a place for a quick snack after a long journey on route to a family funeral at Earlham Crematorium. It offered everything we needed. Quick friendly service, fresh tasty food, perfect cappuccino, in trendy surroundings. It was important to find somewhere with wheelchair access plus the toilet was well fitted for disabled or elderly people. Would definitely revisit......

Top quality pizza with an excellent crust. Freshly made on the premises with a wide range of toppings, including vegan options. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and good beer. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us, great selection of allergen friendly mills for coffee & food! Helped keep the toddler busy too!

Nice enough cafe but I didn’t love the coffee (rather bitter, I thought) and it struck me as a little overpriced. But the service was excellent. Also an interesting shop attached.

We love the green grocers and can’t help but visit regularly. The staff and service is second to none and we’ve always had lovely food, the pizzas are delicious! Good coffee, good tea, excellent cake and all very reasonably priced, what more could you want from a cafe!? Plus the fresh bread is divine.

Only found this quaint little cafe because of google. It was late morning and we fancied a breakfast, the green grocers breakfasts are available all day everyday. It’s hidden off the main road, behind the co-op on the earlham road.
