The Tea Pot Cafe in Breckland

Always a nice atmosphere and good food .

Popped into Swaffhan for lunch en route to the coast and luckily stumbled across this lovely cafe. Warm, friendly service and excellent food. We both had the broccoli and cheddar quiche which came with new potatoes and a side salad with coleslaw - very tasty and reasonably priced.

This was our first visit to Swaffham, we decided to go to the Tea pot Cafe first for mid morning drinks and scones which were freshly baked and still warm. We later returned for lunch chosing the large breakfast and drinks. The meal was piping hot and a good size portion, well worth the cost. The staff were friendly and welcoming, service was excellent. We would definitely return and would recommend this cafe to our family and friends.

Delicious food, delicious cakes all homemade. friendly service Very good prices Always go there when I’m in Swaffham

if you like a full fry up then the mega breakfast is out standing , the sausages our stunning the mushrooms are to die for washed down with a pot of tea

We stopped at The Tea Pot Cafe during market day on a Saturday. As the name suggests, the interior is filled with a very interesting array of tea pots. Aside from that the cafe serves a nice variety of hot and cold meals for breakfast and lunch. In our case we had a cheese scone, a toasted panini, a sandwich and bread with smashed avocado, poached eggs and bacon. A nice place to come to.

Such a lovely cafe.atmosphere,service,menu. Food very scrummy. My place to go when in swaffham, Highly recommend to all

We used to come regularly for many years but after an embarrassing incident involving a food allergy issue we resolved not to return. This was about 18 months ago we returned today to give it another chance. Not good. Food was slow to arrive (about 25 mins, we'd finished our tea long before). The quiche was neither cold nor hot so had been neither heated or chilled and the salad was little more than a lettuce leaf and some tomato. It was a very long way off from the service and food we enjoyed for so many years in the past, and this was backed up by the many empty tables where before we would have to queue. So sadly, despite the second chance, we won't be coming back. Shame.

I think I have tried all the breakfast places in Swaffham now (see other reviews if you want to compare!). This is my favourite overall. Pleasant service. Great food. Nice but not trying to be too posh or expensive. Looking forward to going back! Shelly's is a close second.

Very nice cafe, excellent food, great service, very good value for money. If I'm in Swaffham again, this is where I will definitely eat😁

Nice food. Staff are polite. Take away food is expensive!. Well worth a visit.

Such a lovely place and food is delicious. Very friendly staff, we were served by Trish, such a lovely person, had a really good laugh and joke with her x would definitely recommend and will definitely be back .

We called in here this morning on our way to Oxburgh Hall. It’s a lovely tea room and we had two filling breakfasts. Bought cakes for later too. Good value Recommended

Whenever we holiday in Swaffam, about once a year, we always eat here at least once. The menu is good. A selection of cakes and quiche that I believe to be home made. We have always found the service to be efficient and friendly and have no hesitation in recommending.

Had a fantastic lunch here. Service was fast and friendly. Food was very good and portion sizes unbelievable for the prices. Cannot recommend enough. A little hidden gem.

So my friend and I both had baked potatoes with tuna, it came with a small side salad. So the potatoes were not very hot and were very old. But we both had upset tummies ☹️

Our cycling club stopped at the cafe at 11am today. Food was well priced and service was excellent. Friendly staff were attentive and served the food/drinks promptly. Look forward to our next visit

I have been put off going back to be honest. I visited recently with a friend. We ordered drinks and a slice of cake each. When our order was brought over I was actually in shock. The slice size difference in cake was shocking. My friend couldn't eat all of hers and took the rest home. My slice on the other hand. Was tiny! Even my friend mentioned the size difference to me. Yes, it is only a slice of cake but it is the principal of it all. Especially as I paid the same price as what my friend would have.

First time coming to Swaffham, and lovely little town and we stumpled across this cosy wee cafe, and me and my partner had the most delicious sandwiches we ever tried and the tea was lovely too. Staff friendly and polite excellent service well worth a visit we will be back for sure.

What a fabulous little cafe! Today we were pushed for time & just had a delicious coffee but the cake looked so tempting! I should have taken a slice or two home. Next time!

A lovely little cafe down a side alley in Swaffham that is easily missed. They do Breakfasts, Baked potatoes, Quiches, Sandwiches, Cakes etc at a good price that taste as amazing as they look! 😋 Also other great little shops in the same alley.

The Tea Pot cafe in Swaffham is by far the best and friendliest place to have a cup of tea, a slice of cake and for us occasional brunch. The service is brilliant and the food and drinks are always spot on. The staff are a credit to the cafe and make the whole experience feel really enjoyable and personal. It’s our regular go to place at least a couple times a week. Well done Tea Pot cafe!😁👍

If you like tea pots this your place

Had a lovely cheese, tomato and pickle toastie. (£4.95) and a can of Tango. Served with in about 20-30 minutes. Lovely service too!

Aged whilst we waited First visit to Swaffham and found this lovely cafe so thought we would try it for a light lunch. Unfortunately it was not a good experience. When we arrived at 11.45am it wasn’t particularly busy. Ordered and received our coffee’s promptly, drunk them and an hour, yes an hour later we received our food which was only an omelette and panini, so not a large breakfast or something complicated. A group of ladies who are obviously regulars received their food in about 10mins of ordering. So we definitely won’t be returning unfortunately. We are patient and happy to wait when we can see somewhere is busy, but this was just painfully slow service. Unless you are a regular and then you seem to magically get served quicker. It’s also not particularly nice food when you do eventually get it.

A great place to eat Lots of choices on the menu and prompt and friendly service. I had the quiche that was lovely my wife had waffles. And very reasonably priced. For us who are on holiday in the area no visit to Swaffam would be complete without visiting this great little cafe.

Very clean, sociable cafe. Great selection of food and drink, many homemade.

Excellent food, homemade cakes and service.

Good friendly service and good portions of food.

The Teapot never fails to amaze. The homemade quiches are fabulous and I highly recommend them. In fact all their food and drinks are fab. Staff very friendly. NB.♿ Note to disabled/carer customers: There's no *Red Cord* in the disabled loo.♿

We only visit this cafe once or twice a year when travelling through. Yes it's in a nice situation, yes the staff are friendly and service is good, yes it looks clean However they have a big sign board outside stating "gluten free options available". In all our visits they have never had a gluten free option. Sorry won't be back.

A nice cafe with good food and service.

Great place- I had an absolute slab of delicious homemade quiche and the cherry and coconut sponge was ridiculous! Definitely recommended.

Sandwich filling right up to the mark. But milkshake a big disappointment. Made with ice cream but so little and minimal flavouring!

Very friendly service by Trish and tge team. Lovely food. Definitely will be going back.

Visited this cafe for the first time today as a plan B but so glad we did. I had a Brie & cranberry toastie . It was so full that I needed a knife & fork to eat it. The Brie was oozing & delicious. It also came with a lovely side salad for excellent value for money. My husband had the chicken Mayo & bacon baguette with a side salad. Although this looked lovely I’m glad I didn’t choose this option as he didn’t have room for cake. I did and my goodness the blueberry and lemon sponge was delicious. So light & fresh & obviously homemade. We were passing through on the way back from Oxborough Hall to Norwich but if we are that way again we will definitely pop back.

Yummy cakes & fresh home cooked food...all at reasonable prices. What's not to like.

Frequently visit Swaffham for Saturday auction but as we arrived earlier than normal today we ventured around town and stumbled across this delightful cafe, just off the high street. Spoiled for choice I settled on the Cherry and almond cake - light, moist and bursting with flavour. Hubby had the quiche. It looked delicious, really deep and full of filling with nice crisp pastry ( it must have been really good as he didn't even offer me a morsel!). Drinks really good too and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning.

Came in from the cold for a coffee, good service,food good, clean and tidy and have not seen such an excellent collection of tea pots.

We tend to go there when in the area but not has good this time. Had mushrooms on toast but a bit skinny with the mushrooms must have been having a bad day.

Nice place, very pleasant service Would defo use again

Great little cafe with friendly staff, only issue is trying to get a table!

Relaxed friendly service with good food 😊

Great little cafe pretty busy but service with a smile. Loved the warm sausage roll with the red onion chutney

This is a great venue for tea and cake on a cold day. Friendly staff and good service.

Visited with a friend had the best scrambled eggs I've ever had in a café. Well worth a visit.

Lovely tasty homemade produce. Homemade cheese scone was delicious.

Wonderful cafe just off Swaffham high street. Helpful and attentive members of staff. Good quality coffee. Consistently high quality food and low prices. The breakfast is always cooked quickly with generous servings and an unusual absence of grease! Recommend to anyone looking for a good cafe. You won’t be disappointed. Note, weekends mornings can be quite busy due to popular demand.

Beautiful food, quick efficient service. Great value for money.

Great little place just off the market square.friendly staff

Excellent service by Trish? Friendly face and banter .. had soup and corn beef .. really nice very enjoyable experience. worth a trip from Norwich just for this LOL Only slight downside Americano! thjnk only 1 shot and water in after the coffee 😱 like coloured water no taste … make me cappuccino next time !! take care. Andrew

Food and service very good. Unfortunately can only have dogs outside..

Great place and loved our lunch today. The soup was one of the best I’ve had, hot, tasty and filling. My wife’s omelette was lovely as well. That staff are hardworking and attentive and all food was cooked to order 👏👏👏

A lovely little cafe that's tucked away off the main street. Very quick efficient service, nice and clean. Food was very tasty, we went in for a drink, stayed for lunch and went back later for a delicious cake. Only drawback was that they were closing at 3pm. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely atmosphere, brilliant staff and the food was excellent

We visited today, choosing the Tea Pot at random. It was a good choice as the food was really good and the service first rate. A very enjoyable time spent there. Thank you.

Very welcoming Nadine served us happy and friendly great recommendations

Quick and easy lunch but delicious. Good service. A hidden gem.

Paid nearly £25 for a bit of dry bread, microwaved potato, no butter on both and a handful of grated cheese, the rest was made up with lettuce. Rip Off.

Nice spot, a little warm inside during a hot summers day, but food up to standard and service polite.

The place and setting is great; the food is delicious. But best of all for me the staff are so helpful and patient. My wife has some challenges and these are not a problem; this makes my experience so much better. Thank you all.

Found this cafe whilst visiting Swaffham. Thought we would sit outside and went in to order. I am sorry to say the young girl on the till need training on customer service. She did not smile, I tried to made light conservation, however no response. We ordered tea, coffee, cheese scone and a sausage roll. We was asking is we would like the sausage roll hot, we said that would be lovely and I asked if my scone could be warmed as well. When our drinks and food came out, I notice how filthy the teapot was and the milk jug, which put me off drinking it and only given 1 sugar. Also the sausage roll was obviously heated in a microwave, so it was extremely hot, sloppy and like rubber. We thought as we were asked if we wanted it hot, it would of been out of a hot/warming cabinet, not zapoed in a microwave. My scone was extremely hot, not just warmed either. So overall not a good visit and sorry to say we would not recommend.

Lovely tearoom. Really good menu and daily specials.

Popped in here with my mum for lunch. The ladies here are always really friendly and the cafe itself is a lovely relaxing place to grab a bite to eat. We both had the sausage roll with caramelised onion which was very tasty. The staff warmed them up for us and put them with homemade coleslaw and salad. Lovely.

After 45 mins had to ask about our order as we were still waiting. Quiche base undercooked and generally over herby .. luke warm so must have been reheated at some stage. Cheese and bacon baguette.. bacon cold so could have been ham .. couldn’t tell as no flavour. Very disappointed

Amazing food, all amazing staff, especially my fave Trish, always smiling and happy to help. I look forward to seeing her each time I visit and quite sad when she has a day off. The teapot is very clean and well priced, overall amazing visit, will go many times again, only criticism is I spent more time admiring the amazing t pots instead of talking to the wife lol. Not a lover of t-pots, but an amazing collection

Absolutely amazing. Great food great coffee super staff and unbelievably good Trifle served in a jam jar! Loved everything

Oh boy! Really lovely food, lunches, dinners, puds, cakes, all freshly made! Light and bright in there, very good prices too.

Wandering around. Down a small area with some small shops. Good menu. A great find Excellent food and service Highly recommended Lots of Tea Pots 😊

I’ve lived in Swaffham for 5 years and this is the only Cafe I will go to. Their cakes are absolutely incredible, the Carrot Cake is the best I’ve ever eaten. I recommend it to everyone and take friends whenever they visit. Honestly priced with good portions.

Been away to North Norfolk and stopped here both ways. Food is all home made. Had all day breakfast on the way back. They are very accommodating (i.e. changed/swapped items on menu) and friendly. Highly recommend a visit.

A group of 4 called in for a coffee and saw the scones and was tempted. It was the best scone that I have had in a long time. Cafe was exceptionally clean, staff very helpful. A real gem , so happy we stumbled across it

Spotlessly clean. Lovely fresh cakes and friendly staff.

Went here for lunch and had quiche Lorraine with side salad. The slice of quiche was absolutely huge - had to give half to my husband - but was also very very tasty. Light fluffy and not too salty. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was there was virtually no bacon in it. Tea pots on display are very interesting. Service is good and prompt but staff could be a little more friendly.

I absolutely love this place. Great food, pleasant staff and the teapots are wonderful. Would recommend a visit.

Delicious quiches & cakes. Good tea, good service with a smile

Not cheap but nice grub and friendly staff.

Excellent food at reasonable prices

Nice cafe, good value for money.

Really nice and friendly. Nice food.

Went in for breakfast at this lovely tea rooms a very clean environment the staff were welcoming and helpful. Poached eggs on granary bread delicious and my husbands bacon roll and egg on toast he said was very good. Will definitely recommend!

Great little tea room. Nice and friendly.

Friendly staff. Delicious cakes and good coffee served speedily. Gets very busy.

Looks very clean.. good value. Lovely Quiche - pastries and cakes.

Very good on all aspects, would definately go again if in the area.

Visited this tea room with my mum ones. We absolutely loved it. Very good place for a good cup of tea and plenty of choice in cakes. X.

Very nice, friendly happy staff, quick service and a good variety of food. Would definately call again.

Lovely food. Cakes very fresh and tea just right.

Excellent, friendly staff,good food very convivial. Well recommended

Clean and friendly service and great food

Food excellent. Home cooked. Reasonably priced.

We love the Teapot Cafe. Always good food and good service. The cakes are rather good too!

We are fairly new to the area and we were looking for somewhere to have a late breakfast when we found this lovely hidden gem. A really nice café, staff are super friendly and the food was fab. The prices are very reasonable. The cakes...

Slightly off the main square I, and all at reasonable cost. am so glad we found it! Excellent soup with a warm brioche for me, well filled sandwich for my partner served up quickly and politely

The best quiche I have ever had!! Lovely place and the owner and staff are so friendly.

Cafe is situated a little out of the way at the far end of the small shopping precinct. Had a lovely sandwich which was tasty and very good value for money. Waiting staff were very friendly. Well worth a visit for lunch.

Was on holiday. Saw this tea room looked lovely so i asked a waitress if they were dog friendly. She spat NO go over the road.

Great birthday cake, made to order, very good service, will definitely use again.

Very good service... Very nice people... Good food! Approved! 👌😋 (by the way.. That Mango, Passion fruit and Coconut cake was... Hum hum... DELICIOUS! 🤪🤪🤪)

We needed a brief "pitstop" whilst viewing houses and ended up having Brunch, the service was good and the Quiche choices were excellent. Good value for money will use the Cafe again.
