Timeout Coffee Ltd in South Norfolk

In my opinion our experience of this place was not good, I’m not sure if it has new management at all but the food certainly wasn’t good, the “five item” breakfast !!! £9.80 I have never seen such very small items !! The coleslaw that came with my food was in what looked like an egg cup, we have been to this cafe on many occasions over the years but I’m afraid this visit will be our last, it could do with a really good clean inside and out the toilet room is dirty, the tables outside were dirty too, I was also very surprised how empty the cafe was at lunch time, this review is our own experience at this cafe,

Lovely member of staff who served us and the food was good and plentiful. There is room for improvement though regarding the cleanliness of the crockery and cutlery. My fork had remnants of food on which was very off putting, it was replaced, the teapot and crockery were in dire need of a good wash, even though they were black I could clearly see the grease and grime and deep tea stains, the saucer had remnants of food on which I wiped off with a napkin. The milk jug had old dried on stains down the front which was more obvious as it was white. I was thinking ‘why do they think this is acceptable?’ Were it not for that I would’ve enjoyed my meal, but the cleanliness issue was on my mind the whole time.

Nice food let down by the customers outside Twice I have been in and understandably you do not choose your customers on both occasions bad language and general loudness from outside customers Which can be off putting for others Otherwise a nice cafe

Super friendly staff and delicious food. Great variety on the menu at very good prices. Dog friendly. Which is rare in Diss. Thankyou for such lovely hospitality. Highly recommended

We had spent ages looking all over the pretty town of Diss, for a cafe that would allow my son's little Shiatsu dog to come in with us. Finally ..just as we were giving up .. we were told of Time Out ..and that it welcomed dogs! Yippee!! Not ONLY did it really welcome ALL three off us... Chumbs, myself and, son Harry.. But the owner and staff went out of their way to kindly and carefully cater for each of our individual needs. ...to my challenging vegan and glutin free needs. Chumbly.. his own dishes ..one for water and the other for his order... and Harry too who was pretty hungry of course, by then. I had the BEST, home made, roast dinner I have had for ages .. Chumbs had my meat carefully chopped ..and Harry ..enjoyed a home made, thick beef burger ..with salad and delicate chrispy sweet potatoes chips. ...such a warm and kind welcome ... and lively, intresting prople around us.. ...BRILLIANT!! AND ...amazing VALUE too...!

Over the years of visiting time out in diss we have never once been disappointed with the food, service, price, atmosphere, staff attention, and of course would recommend anyone who's like-minded wanting excellent food and service to visit. You won't be disappointed either.

I had lovely breakfast Toast covered with smashed avocado add smoked salmon and covered with scrambled eggs. Taste great and really healthy Cheers Phil C

I've been a couple of times recently due to work commitments in the area and really enjoyed both visits. First time I went I met with a friend and we both had a full english. The food arrived in around 15mins and was piping hot and clearly freshly cooked (bacon not sitting around on warming plates, etc). Second time I had a gourmet burger which was also excellent.Fine dining it isn't, but hot and very tasty it most certainly is! Highly recommended.

first time we had been to the cafe ,lovely homemade food and fresh veg,excellent service and staff very attentive will go again when in the area

Im not sure where to begin singing the praises of this wonderful establishment. I suffer from health problems and I have never been accommodated and treated with more hospitality and dignity. More than can be expected from any business. Without even mentioning the absolutely outstanding quality of food and value for money they are 10/10. They are a vital part of this community and help those who are left outside of society feel human again. This is the place to eat. I cant wait to get another panino. I spent a large amount of time in Italy and every bite i take makes me feel like im back in reggio emilia again.

Lovely coffee shop, the staff are overly and the cakes well that slice didn't stay on my plate long. Coffee was lovely, shall certainly be paying this beautiful little cafe qnother visit when I'm next down.

I've been here when visiting family in the area a few times, the place is very Clean, well presented and does home cooked hearty food. (Definitely check out their Sunday roast. Coffee is spot on! And their cakes are to die for! Sttaff are all lovely polite and respectful. They are the main reason I keep coming back.Thank you timeout coffee see you all again on my next visit to diss.

Been here several times the food is amazing, alot of it made to order and cooked from scratch cant beat fresh homecooked food absolutely delicious, the coffee is amazing iced coffee even better, lovely food excellent service friendly staff highly recommend p.s definitely try the lasagne best ive ever tasted

Charming little place coffee is lovely as are the cakes the staff are friendly and the tables clean and tidy You can’t go wrong here for a tasty breakfast

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Always friendly, always ask if everything is ok. Breakfast is outstanding. The only negative.. it is so popular, you sometimes have to wait for a table, but do wait..it is worth it.

we called in here today for the first time as it was advertised as dog friendly, and it certainly was. My wife, our dog Bailey and myself were given a warm welcome and made to feel at home. The hot drinks we had were excellent and very reasonable price. We had lunch there and the food was well presented, tasty and good value. The main attraction though was the friendliness of the staff and the good customer service.We shall certainly go back.

Had driven past a number of times and thought it looked like a good place. We had various takes on English breakfast, which in all cases was good quality ingredients, cooked well. Drinks lovely too: daughter had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, and I had a flat white. You can tell a lot about somewhere on the basis of the quality of their flat white. This was excellent.

We were recommended this cafe by family members, and were very pleasantly surprised. Made to feel very welcome, served very quickly, and as for our lunchtime meals we couldn’t fault it.My partner had the full English Breakfast ( 1 clean plate), and I had the homemade Lasagna ( 2nd clean plate) it was the very best homemade lasagne I had eaten in years, and the coffee was excellent.The only thing that lets this place down, is the toilet. Although clean, it certainly requires updating.We will return at a later date.

On our recent holiday in the Diss area we visited Timeout Cafe twice. We werewelcomed in with our 2 cocker spaniels and on one occasion we had a delicious lunch and on the other afternoon coffee and very tasty cakes. Definitely recommend a visit especially if you are looking somewhere to eat with your dog.

Popped in for breakfast after an early start and it was fabulous. Good quality and nicely cooked and presented. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend if you in the area.

Went here for the first time 7th September about 4pm. Had been past before but not stopped. Thought it looked nice. We were not disappointed.lovely friendly staff. Comfortable surroundings and delicious food. Very reasonable price and very tasty. Would recommend and will definitely be going here again.

We called here for a meal on Sunday I had a roast which was very good and my husband had scampi and chips he said it was good to have proper chips fresh made not frozen. With our drinks fresh apple juice and diet coke under £19 Good deal

We have been here a number of times and we have never had a complaint about the food. The food is always freshly cooked and delicious, the breakfasts and the hot baguettes are very generous, very delicious and very worth going back again and again :)

Smashing place for breakfast lunch or just a good coffee, beats Costa Coffee on Mere Street hands down for a quality drink and far more reasonable price. Food also reasonably price and if you like pouched eggs, you'll impressed with their non runny white, but runny yolks Laura Ann, the waitress is a stylish delight with a sharp sense of humour and plenty of panache.

This small café was very popular, with a constant stream of customers. There is a good reason for this, as the food and service were both very good. Where necessary the food is freshly cooked, but there are no long waits. Considered good value for money - a large jacket potato loaded with prawns and a salad was £5.25.

This is what I would describe as a 5 Star Cafe. Good home cooked food using local fresh produce and all served up with a smile. Big portions at very reasonable prices. Great Coffee too. Visit here most weeks.

Have been here a few times now and never disappointed. The homemade chips are delicious. Burgers are yummy and meaty. The only thing I will say is that its been open a while now and could do with a redecorate!!

My visit on Sunday the 13th of January this year was at 10am. Sunday roasts are not served till 12 , but a full menu was available , together with fresh coffee etc.

I've only ever been here for breakfast, which I must say is first class. The coffee is really good too, but the thing that really puts it above the competition is the outstanding service, whoever owns this cafe should be really proud of their staff, they are always friendly, charming and very helpful.

Have passed this place many a time , but this time felt the need to give it my custom.

After a very early start and long journey we spotted this cafe and as there was easy parking decided to give it a try. What a great find! Breakfast was great, served quickly, and staff efficient and polite. Highly Recommended.

Best Cafe in Diss. Lovely meals and breakfast can't be beaten.Try the home made quiche and chips ( or salad if you prefer). Plenty of "specials" to choose from everyday.

What could be nicer than breakfast with one’s girls, sitting outside in the sun, watching the hustle and bustle of Diss go by whilst enjoying a really nice Full English Breakfast? The girls enjoyed pancakes and hot chocolate. Food was great, service and atmosphere excellent. We have eaten here a lot and the food is proper home cooked fayre done really well. Excellent place to come with family and friends.

As a bus driver I often have breaks in Diss and would often visit a local supermarket cafe but thought today I would try the local cafe and I am glad I did!!!!

We sat outside watching the traffic, the sun was hot but the shades were great and doing their job well. We had Fish & Chips, Big Full English & Lasagna. Food all homemade including the chips. Service smiley and attentive but not annoying. Kids had colouring in paper and crayons. Pricing really good. Parking in front or behind cafe. Highly recommended.

We just popped in for a tea and a coffee recently. We were luck to get 20minutes parking at the front of the cafe, but there was a sign to customers' parking around the back.

Looking for breakfast in Diss we found Timeout Coffee. Able to park close by , we entered without great expectation for a proper breakfast owing to the time, however breakfast is served all day.

We visited last week on a very cold day. Our first proper visit and we were mightily surprised at our good experience, after being warned by others. The coffee is excellent, the soft drink choice is very good. The place was warm and welcoming.

What a very warm welcome and a delicious Big breakfast meal, just what was needed, high quality meat, very nice bacon in particular. Very good and attentive service without being overbearing. I will definitely return, even though was on my own today I didn't feel awkward, very relaxed atmosphere. Also they steam dip their cutlery, very impressive. Keep up the good work staff, consistency is the key in the food business.

My son in law and I have been going to TImeout for lunch recently while working in DIss. The all day breakfasts are really good and the big one is really big! The sausages are proper and the food is well presented and not at all greasy. The coffee is excellent - it has some real body and flavour to it. The staff are very friendly and the decor makes it a pleasant place to eat drink and chat. Nice - we love it

Went to this place for the first time last month and really enjoyed our meal! I had the homemade chicken nuggets which were to die for! They had a great selection of home cooked meals to suit everybody, really friendly staff and a good atmosphere, will definitely be returning, thank You

We wanted to try somewhere different from our usual coffee shops in Diss and found this excellent little coffee shop. It was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly. There was a large choice of meals available on the daily menu as standard, not just specials so we could have had a proper dinner with veg if I we wanted.I ordered a mug of tea and got a pot of piping hot tea with separate milk jug, we both ordered a jacket potato with baked beans and cheese and enjoyed it immensely. The potato was huge and cooked to perfection, didn't taste reheated as most. Jacket potatoes do in cafes. There was no shortage of cheese on top and it was served with a small salad. We did not have to wait very long for this either. All in all a very pleasant experience and we, will definitely return. I have to disagree strongly with the previous comment regarding the staff being false, they were obviously pleased to see us and couldn't have been nicer, nothing was too much trouble.

Difficult to review a cafe when you don't even get a chance to eat their food!

Our first visit to timeout we both had a full English which was lovely! Free WiFi 🖒 friendly staff! don't come to diss often buy I'm sure we'll return in the future x

Señorita muy amable nos invitó a llevar nuestro perro dentro, ya que parecía que la lluvia. Excelente comida casera a precios muy razonables. Este fue el primer café que había encontrado en Diss que parecía perro amable, pero nos alegramos mucho de que habíamos esperado, la comida y el servicio eran excepcionales. Si volvemos a Diss, sin duda visita este café de nuevo.

first and last visit to this café ordered a breakfast had no hash browns so was asked if chips would be ok wife ordered a bacon sandwich waited a good 45 mins for it to come when it did chips where not cooked and the wife's sandwich had become a bap witch she did not order and was not asked if she wanted not good service .

Fui con niño y perro. Muy acogedor. Perro haber ido dentro, excepto que estaba lleno. Las órdenes eran un poco mezcladas, pero la comida era buena y la experiencia fue muy agradable.

Como una familia de cuatro que comer aquí la mayoría de las semanas. Un restaurante muy popular y a veces tienes que esperar para una mesa, pero madre mía, bien vale la pena! ! No sólo tienen un menú increíble, pero te dejan ajustar cosas básicamente si son capaces de y tienen los ingredientes. Fantástica comida casera a precios que hubiera visto tal vez hace 10 años, mega buena relación calidad-precio! ! A nuestros hijos les encantó la comida, hay una opción para ellos o pueden tener pequeñas porciones de comidas principales. Patatas fritas caseras son muy bueno comparado con los congelados patatas fritas tan a menudo ofrecidos en cafés. Una gran variedad de tradicionales budines con un montón de natillas. Uno de los mejores lugares para comer en la zona. Realmente personal agradable y propietarios.

Un lugar agradable, personal amable, buena comida y a un precio razonable. Sólo me paré aquí como visto a bastante gente aquí y apoyo a empresas locales. Sin duda volvería de nuevo para el desayuno.

Great home cooked food offering superb value for money. Stooped for lunch whilst out working in Diss and we were very impressed jacket potato was hot and not watery as they can be and my colleague had ham egg and home made chips !! The ham was home cooked too and for the cost its offered great value.We will return !!

We visited for lunch on a Thursday during our lunch hour. It was busy but staff greeted us as we entered. All the tables were full so we sat at the sofas which were comfy. We ordered 2 omelettes - very tasty, a ham baguette (this was huge french bread style from a bakery). All came with salad and coleslaw, and I ordered a side of chips which were chip shop style rather than frozen. The ham was home cooked. The staff adapted the order to suit us (such as no mayo in the bagette) According to the menu, sausage is locally sourced and the meals (like pies, lasagne) were home cooked. We had several cakes to take away for later. It was busy but several people waited for a table on the sofas. I loved the friendly but efficient staff and ambience of the place and would return again.

I had drven part this place many times always meaning to try it out, well last Saturday my husband and I did just that. We went in at 11.30am and it was already busy. A lovely Lady behind the counter said that if we'd like to sit on the sofas by the window, she would come and tell us when there was a table free. We ordered a coffee each and that was brought over to us. We had time to muse Over the menu when within a few minutes we were escorted to our table. We both had the 'Big one' an all day cooked English breakfast , which arrived piping hot and freshly cooked, nicely presented and the toast and fried bread on another plate.. Our first but not our last visit, staff are lovely and attentive, food is excllent and fantastic value for money! There is also parking available at the rear of the premises or at the front if you're lucky to get one of those spaces which on this occasion we did. Highly recommend!

Our second visit here recently, friendly efficient staff. Fresh food cooked to order, so a slight wait, but much nicer than a quick turnaround some establishments offer. Will make this my lunch stop whenever in Diss.

We were passing through Diss and needed to stop to feed our toddler. Our default would normally be a non descript supermarket café, but spotting this place we decided to try it. The menu was huge, diverse, and really well priced. The quality of the food was second to none! We all received warm welcomes from the staff who were really accommodating of our one year old. Clean toilets, immaculate dining area. Recommend.

We visited for lunch, but I was left disappointed as the baguette turned out to be tiger French bread which I don't like because of the oil they use, and unfortunately despite ordering plain chicken, it came up with cheese and when sent back they had scraped the cheeses off and reserved. Friendly staff just need to fix a few issues I kitchen.

We have been meaning to come here for a while now. Visited for brunch Saturday. Lovely setting. Super friendly staff. Excellent food!We both had "the big one" sausage bacon tomatoe egg hash brown black pudding fried bread and toast! Couldn't finish it Will absolutely be back

Had a bit of a wait as quite busy and only one person serving, but waitress smiled and apologised in a very friendly manner so we were not concerned. Coffee was really good. Not too strong, frothy top and served with a little ginger biscuit. Menu looked very interesting. Breakfasts looked good. Another time. Warm, sunny and friendly with good coffee. Looks out on the busy road but feels comfy inside.

We have been here a few times,the bacon bap is very good and they know how to make a lattle the staff are very friendly too.

Have to go to Diss occasionaly and have used this café each time. They have always been friendly, warm and welcoming. They serve the best coffee for miles around in my opinion and cake quality is splendid. Thank you..

Friendly staff, freshly cooked quality food, a wide selection on the menu, and very good prices. The Norfolk Huffer is their large breakfast baguette, and I can't say I've eaten anything quite like it anywhere else.

We've eaten at Timeout at least once or twice a month since August 2014, after we have taken our baby/now toddler swimming at the pool up the road. Timeout is a small family run Cafe/Coffee Shop and all of the staff are friendly, attentive, helpful and are fantastic with our son. Dependent on what time of day you go, it can be a little busy and you may need to wait for a table to become available but it is a small Cafe with only a handful of tables and this is to be expected and I don't mind the wait. The food is excellent and is all homemade. The chips are amazing and the breakfast which starts at around £5.50 is wonderful! In all the time we have been coming here we have never had a bad experience or meal.For the three of us our food and drink often comes to around £15-£20.

Really friendly atmosphere. Made to feel like one if tge family. Food is awesome especially the cakes. Breakfasts are always a hit and the drinks are top notch.

Excellent breakfast. Lovely coffee. Locally produced butchers sausages and all cooked with olive oil. Friendly staff. Tables a bit sticky but on the while great value for money. Highly recommended.

Went for Sunday Brunch at the end of August. Staff were very nice but it took 45 plus minutes for a cooked breakfast, which was average considering the price (£6.05 for 1 sausage, 1 bacon, beans, black pudding, mushrooms and 2 toast). Coffee was good but cost extra. Possibly they should have a look over the road at Morrison's supermarket, where similar would have been less than half price. Time Out has better ambience than a Supermarket of course, however, they have to get the food out much much quicker.

First trip here , Sunday Afternoon and looking for breakfast lol , A superb little cafe , owners were also staff , could not find a better welcome. Very busy but quick service and food was great and very reasonable will be back and defiantly recommend. ☕️ Thank you Time Out for a lovely time .

Sticky,greasy tables. My forehands glued to it. Then I took a many in my hand and 8t was even more grassy and oily. I left without ordering anything as I just simply lost appetite. Will never go again. On and also expensive breakfast for over £7! We went to a different caffee in Diss centre and paid £4.4 for full English for 2 plus the big jar of tea worth£2 came free.

I have just read some of the negative reviews and have to say that I disagree with them. Some people have said that it is busy and chaotic. Well that's because it's such a great place that everyone wants to go there for lunch. Others have said it was dirty... I've been there dozens of times and I've never seen any dirt. You can see in to the kitchen and behind the serving counter and its spotless. The staff have been very welcoming and have catered to all our needs. I take a disabled friend who has special eating requirements. Morrisons cafe just over the road refuse to help us, but the timeout cafe are always accommodating. The cafe is fairly new and it looks like they are running a great and successful business.

Have visited Time Out on a few occasions, the service is a bit chaotic with staff attempting to deal with at table and a take-away service. On the last visit I ordered a coffee and pan-fried chicken baguette. The coffee was good but the baguette turned up as a soft long roll with soggy chicken, moreover there was no napkin or knife provided until requested. It's also a bit expensive at £8.00 for a coffee and roll.

I am a regular, yes the tables are not always cleanly wiped from previous customers but the staff and friendliness of the waitresses easily outway this and this is rare in DissThe food is very good although not brilliant and even when the chef normally gets the order wrong its kind of quaint again the staff make this place the main thing is that the girls want to provide a good service

Experienced one of the best bacon rolls i have ever eaten. Definitely not cheap supermarket bacon here. Also had a good selection of home made cakes etc.

We stopped for coffee and were expecting much better things. We waited ages and when the food came they had got it wrong. The most important thing was refer the tables, cutlery and crockery were all filthy so much so I couldn't drink my tea. The teapot was so drained and dirty it was shameful. Needless to say we left without eating or drinking anything.

I really rated finding this cafe. The coffee is very good, i like the atmosphere and our previous meals have been tasty and very good value for money. We had visited in other school holidays so didnt expect any trouble today. Indeed we got off the bus had a coffee walked for an hour came back for lunch and expected to shop for an hour before catching the bus back. Every table had at least a person at it but a kind gentleman beconed us over. Our order was taken staight after a table of four. We should have wondered when we saw that the man waitd quite some time for his food having already finished his coffee. Then the tables before us food arrived. They ate it and left. The man teased us as he left and we queried the wait. Another couple of minutes we were told. And so after 58 mins it arrived. Mine was hot and tasty. My friends not hot enough. As we complained we got a discount and an appology. I blame the manager fornot employing enough staff. The staff waiting table were friendly and concerned. We left feeling we had oarted company with a good friend

Yes we may have at least 8 tea/coffee shops in Diss but they are all totally different not only by what they serve but by their settings and their staff too and Timeout is no exception. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the drinks are delicious. The position is handy if you are only visiting that end of town and although it is right beside the busy 1066 the traffic doesn't stop you having a long chat over a cuppa and cake. The menu extends to various light lunches too, all served to you at your table.
