The Tea Lounge in Norwich

It’s not surprising this place is so popular with its warming Strangers coffee, luxurious hot chocolate and scrumptious cakes and tray bakes. They also do brunch and lunch including Sunday roast but I haven’t tried these yet. It’s a nice place to sit and watch the world go by or catch up with friends.

What a lovely Lounge. Great customer service and very tasty full English. Coffee was nice and hot . Few tables outside although we sat inside. Well worth a visit.

I had to trek up the hill to John Lewis to collect something and decided to treat myself to lunch here. I had heard about it but I am always so busy at work that I find it a bit of a trek. I had the home made soup which was dellcious - and the bread that came with it was plentiful and doughy - just how I like it. The cakes looked divine but did not have time to try them but will definitely bring my sister here when she is next visiting.

Really love the bagels, but won't return as was served by a really rude woman who said it wasn't worth it to sell me a couple of plain ones (along with the overpriced cheese and gerkin one I was buying and was less than welcoming. Charged 50 p too for using my card. WILL NOT RETURN, there are other cafe's in Norwich which are far nicer. It was pretty empty so clearly not pulling the customers in. Why adopt such a negative attitude (surely better to sell 3 bagels than one?)

Really tasty, swift, friendly and well priced breakfast option with gorgeous coffee. We will definitely go again.

I met my friends here the other day, service was great and the cakes just as nice. Easy street parking and not far from the city centre. Well recommended for good reason. Lush!!!

Love this café for their reasonably priced good food, delicious cakes and exhibitions of local artists 💛

I am delighted to have found this great cafe just a 5 minute walk up the road from John Lewis as I regularly have to come to Norwich for business. It's very warm and cosy and serves my favourite brick lane bagels and chocolate cakes! Thanks until next time guys!!

I'm sure the tea & cake would have been wonderful, but at 2:45pm on a Saturday afternoon the very unfriendly lady in charge informed us she was closing in 10 minutes & wouldn't want to have to rush us!!! We had walked out of the city to try this business. We believe that if The Tea Lounge can afford to turn away 3 new customers, we don't see any point in returning. We'll stick to the Tea Shops we know in Norwich that offer a warm welcome as well as good cake.

Lovely place - great space inside - really relaxed. Delicious Salmon and Eggs for brunch...and you get to watch Hatley Davidsons 'purr' into the dealership opposite!

The Tea Lounge on Ber Street is fantastic for lunches, snacks, treats and afternoon tea. With a great selection of homemade cakes available every day, panini's, sandwiches or baguettes all made in-store. My personal favourite has to be a Brie, Bacon and Cranberry Chutney Sandwich with a slice of their delicious Banana and Caramel Cake. Great value and always a great service.

This is a well thought out lounge. The food is spot on & hearty. Such a treat. Oh and they have take away!!! Amazing as well. You will no be disappointed. The staff seem to love their job which is a good sign. I almost felt as if I was back in San Francisco relaxing. Final note. I never do reviews however this was needed. Cheers.

Just come back from having lunch here, best soup I've had in a cafe for a long time. Very reasonable price with bigger than usual sized bread to go with it. Large bowl of morrocan spinach and chickpea soup went down a treat, and is very filling (which is a rarity for soup.) Nice to see cafes do more ambitious soup recipes than your usual vegetable/tomato option. This cafe is slightly out of the way but well worth it, because of this it's less busy and is a great size with lovely surroundings. I will definitely be returning.

I've been sampling the Tea Lounge's delicious cake for years now so it's time I left a review. The cafe itself is lovely, with very welcoming and spirited owners, and the cake and coffee is second to none! P.s the bacon, brie and chutney paninis should not be missed!

You know how sometimes you think something is different but you can't say what? Well, The Tea Lounge provided a quite existential shiver. I have been there three or four times and was used to a couple of quite pleasant people behind the counter. But now. They are not apparent. The service is adequate and the welcome underwhelming; the coffee was ok (added protein with the fly); the lemon drizzle cake was so dry the drizzle had dehydrated. I do quite like the layout with a large kitchen table at the back and small tea tables elsewhere. Good position to people watch as you spend a few moments with your mates. Not done the garden to the rear. Perhaps I will give it a miss for a while

Beautiful fresh sandwiches. Proper tea made with tea leaves in a pot, plus chocolate cake. in the patio garden in the sunshine. Bliss.

I have been in The Tea Lounge 3 times with different friends. Some memorabilia from old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, theatre trays that would hold instruments for operations also a long bench seat used at the hospital.

A great little tea shop café that does cakes and takeaway sandwiches. The reason for the rating is that they go down to London to buy proper bagels from the Brick Lane Bakery. As a result their smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels are wonderful and make me very nostalgic for London. If you've never had a proper bagel (supermarket stuff does not count) you should try this place.

yesss that cake was great, exactly what i was after in-between my work shift, i had a BRIE AND BACON WITH CRANBERRY SAURCE IN IT. TRULY TO DIE FOR
