The Lemon Tree in South Norfolk

As good as the reviews say. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly. I opted for the big breakfast and an Americano coffee. Both were excellent, with the presentation on the plate very mouthwatering. Place gets busy. I saw one table was reserved while I was there. Place seems pet friendly, but dogs should be well-behaved as there is limited space. I will be back for more food!

Lovely little cafe, good prices, clean with all food covered😁would highly recommend a visit. We'll definitely be back

Small quaint cafe with attentive service and good food. Just off the high street, we went there seeing TripAdvisor reviews. Was worth the visit.

Fabulous cafe. Beamed dining room is cosy and lovely. I had a yummy jacket potato for my lunch at a very reasonable price. Service was swift and friendly

Lovely Cake and coffee. My family and I have been coming here for years and Love the food and the staff . We have always found them helpful and professional. Our food has always been on time and super delicious -they make some amazing cakes!

I absolutely love the lemon tree and have been going for at least a year now. Yesterday I went with some friends for brunch and there was an extremely rude customer who was yelling at the staff for an easy mistake, the kind staff tried to fix this mistake by offering to redo their meal (free of charge) or offer a refund, this just shows how well mannered and patient the staff are as despite the rudeness of this customer they stayed calm and polite. Every time I have attended the lemon tree, be that alone or with friends, the service and food has always been spectacular, the staff always seem to go above and beyond to accommodate their customers, I have had first hand experience with this as I am a vegetarian. This is an excellent cafe and I would thoroughly recommend it!

Me and my partner decided we would go out for lunch today and try the lemon tree as it always looked busy and thought it must be a good place to go. We parked up which was 2min walk away from the lemon tree. Me and my partner sat outside, we did not even get acknowledged by the staff we were there, they saw us as they were walking past us serval times serving other customers. We chose pretty quick what we wanted and we just ‘guessed’ we were to go inside and order, lucky we did as we would have been waiting a long time. I’m vegetarian so I ordered the vegetarian lemon tree (veggie breakfast) and my partner poached eggs on toast with a coke and a cappuccino. We finally got our drinks after a short wait and then before we knew it our carpark was nearly up (60mins parking) and still no food. With 20mins left a staff member asked what bread my partner wanted with his poached egg?! and then another 10mins his finally came out and then mine which was the wrong order, they gave me a meat breakfast. The young girls were super lovely but our carpark was nearly up and that meant my partner would have to eat on his own and I could not reorder as it would not come out in time. (Don’t get me wrong even if we did have longer on the car park why would we go out for lunch together and then have to eat separately) we where polite and they did offered a refund on my meal but I don’t think this is good customer service because they should have offered us both a refund. My partner then got to speak to someone in charge who frankly dismissed the terrible service. Looking back at other reviews we are not the only ones who have this experience. Won’t go back. We left with our stomachs empty and we even left without the refund on my meal because we just wanted to get out of there. Lastly They offered to doggy bag my partners toast and poached eggs which is a complete joke! Also 15mins before we left a couple sat next to us and they received their food within 10mins which looked like a breakfast. I think they forgot about us. They also said they were busy so not their fault the food took ages and the wrong order came out. Excuses for terrible service!! Don’t waste your precious time or hard earned money

Super cafe with excellent service and delicious food. I have been coming to the Lemon Tree for many years and have always been super impressed by the friendly service and great food. Visited today and was not disappointed. Despite it being a busy market day the staff were professional and attentive, and the food was its usual high standard. Highly recommend.

Me and my husband had a few hours child free and booked a table at the lemon tree cafe for a brunch date on Sunday, the staff are always amazing and I had the most delicious eggs Benedict. My husband loves his coffee and commented on this to the staff as he enjoyed this in particular. I on the other hand had a nice glass of bubbles. Will always return and recommend.

Lovely Tea Rooms , highly recommend the Cheese Scones yummy! Very nice inside although quite cosy , but there are a few tables outside.

Quite slow service and were ignored a few times, luckily we had time, but I’m not sure we would go back based on this first impression.

The food was very tasty and the home made beans were out of this world. The staff were very efficient and friendly. I would recommend this café it is brilliant. I will certainly call in again next time we visit our family!

Poped in for a light lunch with family. And was made to feel at home from the start. Menu was varied with some lovely options, I went for the chicken fajita with side salad, coleslaw and mayo. Very tasty and well presented. Perfect. I had fresh Earl grey tea. Definitely worth a visit for a relaxing friendy lunch. Very well priced and fantastic service.

I have only been in Wymondham around 2 months - this lovely, warm and welcoming Cafe has become almost a weekly visit. The Big Breakfast is awesome! Love the coffee! The staff are very welcoming! Delicious food! Looking forward to my next visit.

Good hearty breakfast was exactly what we needed on a cold day before work. Will be retuning, staff very attentive

Have been here several times, both for tea and cakes and for a meal. Very good menu and service excellent. Sometimes it was so busy we could not get a table, but proves it is popular.

Decided to try because it was dog friendly. Food average and prices reasonably however I wouldn’t come again. Dog enjoyed her sausages.

This is the best café, the owner Rachel is a lovely host and the service is second to none. Wouldn't eat anywhere else. 5*

A friend and I decided to try this cafe at the weekend and although when the food came in was nice, the hours wait was too much. You need to manage your customers expectations upon arrival. Had I known I would have to wait an hour for food, I would have gone elsewhere as I was already starving. After an hour I complained about the wait where I was told ours was the next one out. 10 mins later it arrived with a hollow apology that they were a hand down in the kitchen. We went for breakfast but didn't get our fry ups until lunch. Very disappointing experience and unfortunatly wouldn't return.

I was so disappointed. My partner and I came here for a breakfast and it was not what we expected. I’m still quite shocked at there’s some really good reviews, maybe we came here on a bad day but it was awful. We waited bang on an hour for a fry up, we were so shocked, everything was tough and chewy too. Could hear a lot of people moaning about the food and wait times at their tables. I’ve never waited so long for food before, especially a fry up. Such a shame but won’t be retuning.

"Our food is cooked from fresh and made to order...". No chicken fajitas available. Interesting. How do you run out of chicken?

Really friendly helpful staff really welcoming - we spent 2 days in the area and ate here for both mornings - would definitely recommend something on the menu for everyone

I’m not one for writing reviews but after experiencing so many terrible Eggs Benedict breakfasts over the last few months, when I finally get a decent one, I should really take a few minutes to show my appreciation. The muffin was toasted to perfection, they used proper ham, the eggs were poached to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. Thank you. We will definitely to going back…soon! Oh, and the lady who owns it was lovely.

As a motorcyclist I get to eat a lot of breakfasts as most rides end with a stop for food and exploring. I found the Lemon Tree Cafe Wymondham by chance and ordered the full English breakfast and a coffee. the staff were polite and attentive and helpful, and the service was good and timely. the cafe was busy but was clean and everyone knew what they were doing which is nice. the breakfast was delicious with everything well cooked and presented, the sausages were delicious butchers chipolatas and the egg free range and poached to perfection. The coffee was also delicious. a great breakfast and a lovely experience. Full marks to all at the cafe.

Must modernize flavor profiles of food. The onion, bacon tart was flavorless, salad with balsamic dressing = simple but refreshing. Mix-mash of everything in probably a 16thC building but no excuse for a lightbulb being out. Has potential but suggest some creativity with the menu as it’s uninspiring. No where near maximizing the opportunity of location, menu, environment, etc. Needs serious rejuvenation.

We were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome on a very wet day. Soon we were seated and received prompt service from the waitress asking us if we were ready to place our order. Our drinks arrived very quickly and our freshly prepared food soon followed. The menu has plenty of choice at reasonable prices, the portions are of adequate size. The Lemon Tree staff are all very pleasant and make any visit enjoyable. The property is full of character. The only down side to this venue is the size, this means that sometimes you may have to wait for a table. Personally I would recommend booking in advance to eliminate the possibility of disappointment. Well done Lemon Tree, we will return…soon 😊

Friendly staff, reasonably priced and lovely fresh food. Coffee was 10/10 xx They do a lovely takeaway coffee too!

Popped in for Sunday brunch. Friendly staff and delicious food. We ordered the Lemontree breakfast and Cowboy Beans. Real home cooked food with fresh ingredients. The Cowboy Beans were particular delicious.

Since when does a Full English have roast potatoes? I know that poached eggs have vinegar added to the water but not so much that it flavours the yolk! I don't find it "charming" that none of the cups matched the saucers, or that the bacon appeared to have been mistaken for the leather strap used for sharpening blades in the kitchen. In all, I really do wish that the Station Bistro had been open.

Home made delights, forget Heinz beans try the homemade special baked beans! The best homemade chilli and nachos for lunch! As for the homemade cakes.. yum!

An impromptu visit to this lovely cafe in the heart of Wymondham. Quirky cosy decor, friendly and prompt service and delicious cake! As a vegan I often struggle to find decent cake out and about but the good size chunk of chocolate cake I received...

I was recommended the lemon tree by relatives and it did not disappoint. The staff are so attentive and friendly, the quality of food is amazing. Best breakfast I have had this year! Will be returning.

Really friendly, smiley staff. Atmospheric interior. Lovely coffee and a perfect cheese scones. Cakes looked good too.

Ordered a chocolate milkshake , when it came it was watery and tasteless. Sent it back , however the most disappointing thing item was a fruit scone that had been microwaved! Totally u believable will not be going back .

You can get traditional full English with baked beans etc or some healthier options. I had a salad thing with bacon and eggs with avocado and it was great. Highly recommend for full meal or just a coffee/tea and biscuit.

I dropped in on the off chance that there may be a table available on Saturday afternoon and fortunately there was one left. I ordered a lattee and a toasted ham and cheese toast on granary bread. It was delicious and was accompanied by a...

I've returned to the Lemon Tree Cafe and wow!!! The owners were as good as their words......it's so much more as it used to be! Thankyou and well done! Xx

Not great , weak tea bacon and sausage overcooked,small portionof mushrooms and tomatoes, long wait,and not good value at £8.50

Went in for breakfast. Friendly reception. Healthy food indeed healthy and very nice. Not so healthy breakfast well cooked and not at all greasy. Still doesn't make it healthy but no cooked breakfast is. That's probably why it is so nice. Service friendly, cosy cafe....

Lemon tree provided the catering for a family garden get together organised by my parents - the food was fantastic and ideal for the event.

Given that the world has gone to hell in a handcart and people are to be avoided like Doris from the docks, myself and the elderly neighbour can’t go for the breakfast anymore. It’s like losing a limb for us because breakfast in the lemon...

The food was absolutely delicious - a perfect vegetarian breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were really flexible with our needs. Lots of great veggie/ vegan options. Cant recommend enough!

Had already pre-cooked a table,day before. The service was good and was the very tasty Fruit-Scone. Although this small Cafe was very busy I had noticed that the Tables was spaced out in the seating area. Would recommend this Cafe.

We collected a take away afternoon tea for 6 people today. One was a vegan option. It was delicious. Beautifully presented. Unfortunately no photos because we were so enthusiastic to get started! Definitely recommend. Thank you. We have had breakfast here several times previously as...

Popped in for brunch on Saturday. The staff are always great and the food is delicious. Home cooked and tasty. Definitely recommend a visit

This place has excellent character, is very clean and has a high standard of well being. I would definitely visit here regularly due to its pleasant atmosphere and recommend it highly.

We have stopped here for lunch twice recently. Both times I've had the Lemon Tree Madame. It's a posh croque sandwich using the freshest, tastiest soda bread, fresh gammon, cheese and mustard. It's a bit naughty with lots if butter but they serve it with salad! Drinks are always really good and its service with a smile. Highly recommended!

Stopped off for some lunch last Saturday on my way home from church. I decided to have sausage, egg and chips as I was quite hungry and as ever, the Lemon Tree served up a perfect meal.The food was hot and the eggs were poached to perfection and served by a very friendly waitress, who couldn't do any more to ensure that I was happy.Overall, I was very happy and will continue to be a regular at this lovely little cafe.

Nice cafe, lovely lady served us, but I am still trying to work out how a black coffee, a cappuccino, and two rounds of beans on toast twice came to over £15. I am not local, was just passing through, and there is no email address on the website. If it isnt a mistake then it is far too much to pay, maybe we wont pass through again!

Excellent Breakfast, excellent staff, great value and highly recommended, will frequent again when visiting friends.

Called in for lunch took ages second time but still good ! Must try the cowboy beans Very tasty and filling

Have eaten here before but each visit not as good as the previous. Had bacon sandwich which was sort of ok. Cheap brown sauce in a cheap squuezy bottle. Salad was sort of ok. Coffee was good...nice and hot. Service was sort of ok. There are now better places that offer a greater choice at a better price in wymondham.

The Lemon Tree was just across the road from our cottage and it was open early so reading the reviews on TA, this was a 'no brainer'. Would have called again but it was 10am opening on the Sunday.Friendly and efficient service, they were really busy but we were well looked after. By coincidence we all had the veggie breakfast, we're not veggies but we do try to be healthy now and again. Really good quality, one of us had the home made beans as opposed to Heinz and I tasted some, they were delicious.If Norwich stay up and we return to Wymondham next season, this is where we'll have breakfast.

You just know that these guys care about what they do. The food is great and service is friendly. It's just so much better food than I was expecting, everthing is just that much nicer than run of the mill.

Lovely cafe to visit when in Wymondham. Staff are always on the ball and friendly and the food is good quality.

A return visit to one of our favourite cafes - breakfasts are delicious and staff are friendly and helpful, thoroughly recommend

Always cheerful service with a smile, good coffee & seating ouside in the sun. Not far from town centre.

I go there a lot A nice place to go with a friend and a catch up or by myself, quiet. The mushrooms on toast are very very nice

My wife and I had the pleasure of having breakfast here on Saturday morning 19/10/2019 . I had the full English and my wife had the 5 item breakfast both of which were superb , all items were freshly cooked and very tasty , our coffee was also very good. all in all A very pleasant experience p.s please try the homemade baked beans “lovely “ thankyou Lemon Tree

Stopped off in here for a coffee and a cake, service was quick and the selection of cakes and scones very good.

On our recent trip from Australia we found this great little restaurant. We got great food and friendly service.

Popped in here the other Saturday for tea and cake.

Really good service here, lovely ladies and a great cup of coffee. Should I ever return to Wymondham I will defo go back to the Lemon Tree Cafe.

Well we will definitely be back. We visited on a Sunday morning and were delighted that we could bring our dog in. We had 1 full English and 1 egg Benedict. Both of our breakfasts were amazing and we are dedicated breakfast finders so this is high praise!! All the staff we encountered were so polite and helpful. Cannot recommend enough :)

We arrived early for the Morris dancers, so we walked around Wymondham looking for somewhere to have a coffee, can across this little cafe, lovely little place, part new and part from times gone bye.Only had a coffee, but the food ( breakfasts) look well good.

The best full English I've had since Gary Willmots wedding. Seriously, it was textbook. Very high quality ingredients including delicious home made baked beans. If like me you hate the Heinz variety, try these. Service efficient and friendly.

I think this was the only place open for breakfast on a Sunday morning. I did feel it was over priced although there was nothing wrong with the food. A breakfast was over £8 and this didn’t include a drink!

So myself and the ageing neighbour went out again last night and I must admit that I felt the worst for wear this morning. The only solution?? The Lemon Tree. As soon as I walked in the staff knew I needed coffee, badly. A couple of minutes later, seated under the blackboard, the latte duly arrived and about ten minutes later my sausages, egg and chips arrived to save the day. The cafe was busy and the helpful waitress checked on me twice to ask if I was happy with my meal, which I was. I love this little cafe as the food has never let me down, the friendly staff always have a smile and a warm greeting when I arrive which is why I keep returning and will continue to do in the future. It is always worth visiting.

Really disappointing after seeing all the great reviews thought as we had family visiting we would take them for a treat, had to wait nearly an hour for our food, no explanation to why we had to wait so long.then when it did arrive it was not even hot sausage lukewarm and bacon was cold very very disappointed will not be returning

After a long walk in Thetford Forest, called into Wymondham and found this great little place.

We arrived close to closing time and in need of sustenance, help was at hand. Very helpful staff who welcomed us and assured us that we would not be rushed after closing time which we were not. Food was excellent as was service. The Lemon Drizzle cake was to die for. Thanks folks for a great lunch and a very friendly atmosphere.

It's such a treat to get breakfast cooked for you, and now that the Lemon Tree seems to be open on Sundays, it means I can get out of doing it!

And again and again and again. The food, atmosphere and friendly staff make this the best café in Wymondham, which is why it is hard to understand the review below complaining. Maybe it was one of those days, when things go wrong. Anyway, we certainly will continue to visit for that scrummy brunch and breakfast and so pleased that they are now open on Sundays.

Went here in a Sunday morning for a coffee and bit of cake.

Popped in here for a quick cup of tea with a friend. A warm welcome from staff and the tea is served in a tea pot and a lovely cup and saucer! I will be coming here again :)

We traveled on the Heritage railway from Dereham and decided to have a walk round Wymondham in between trains. We found this lovely Cafe and it was busy, which is always a good sign. The staff were all lovely and really helpful. They found us a seat in the alcove. We ordered coffees and a sausage sandwich and didnt have to wait very long for these to arrive.

Called in today after a ride on the Mid Norfolk Railway and a visit to the museum. I chose the chilli on a jacket potato with salad and my husband had the gammon, eggs and chips. Portions were generous and well presented. The chilli had just the right amount of heat in it and the gammon was very tasty. All the staff were friendly and we felt welcome. We would both recommend.

I have an elderly neighbour who likes to have a beer or 12 on a Friday evening and as a result always requires a lifesaving breakfast on Saturday morning. The Lemon Tree comes to the rescue every time. The food is of the highest quality and the coffee superb. The reception from the staff when we arrive, as we are becoming somewhat regulars, is always warm and friendly and the setting is just delightful. I have been there many times now and can honestly say that it has been wonderful every time. Roll on next weekend.

We had a lovely simple lunch here, good value and great service. It's a beautiful old building too which makes for a nice atmosphere.

Visited here on spec while visiting Wymondham. Had a lovely late lunch. Good value. Lovely food. Pity we were too late to have a cake as it was near closing time. Will have to go again.

This place is always busy which is a great sign. They have a good menu and the food is fresh and plentiful. One of the nicest places for a quick lunch in Wymondham.

Lovely place to go with friends for breakfast or lunch as very friendly, accommodating, great menu choice and great price. Always my 1st choice when out to eat.

Best cafe in wymondham lovely staff great food well recommend allways have breakfast witch is amazing especially the home made beans usually goe once a week well worth a visit won't be disappointed.

We stopped here for lunch on a very rainy day while visiting Wymondham. It was wonderful luck as it turned out to be a real gem. The staff were really friendly and the menu was really interesting with lots of unusual homemade stuff like cowboy beans. My husband had these and said they were great.

Popped in here for a quick coffee and cake with my husband. The venue is quirky, very old worldy, but very nice and interesting. The coffee was very good but i couldnt say the same for the red velvet cake I had. It was dry, didn't taste at all chocolatey and was covered in watery runny icing sugar glaze rather than butter cream. Red velvet cake is my favourite, but not like that. My husband's cake was lemon drizzle and it was very good. Staff were nice and service was good but the outside toilets were a bit of a surprise and a bit chilly!
