Whelk Coppers in North Norfolk

It was spot on for me. Food was really lovely and the staff were really friendly. Thank you so much for your hospitality I'm definitely coming back.

Lovely cafe and location by the sea. Delicious food lovely helpful service

Stopped here for breakfast whilst cycling around Norfolk with some friends. When the sun is out it is a lovely place to sit outside and admire the sea view. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really friendly. I'd definitely go back. A great spot all round.

Super enjoyable sitting outdoors in the sun for brunch. Incredibly busy , warned when ordering there would be a long delay due to other food orders to prepare - appreciated the heads up from friendly and incredibly busy staff . 1 star dropped as food a bit cold when it arrived .

What a lovely setting looking out to sea, and we were greeted warmly on arrival. Excellent flat whites and the cakes were amazing... we had date and ginger, and orange and almond. Service was both efficient and friendly. Based on todays experience, we would happily return when next in Sheringham.

I visited Whelk Coppers for breakfast while staying locally, and it was a great choice. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. I opted for the French toast, and it was absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also noticed the cakes on the menu, which looked really tasty, though I didn’t try it this time. Overall, a lovely spot for a hearty breakfast and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time! Highly recommend!

We always enjoy are food and coffee when we visit here looking out across the sea. Staff are friendly and efficient here.

Inside the cafe is cramped. The coffee machine sounds like a car assembly factory creating a hideous racket with staff banging and crashing objects hard and brash. Staff need training. Not welcoming, not aware of their own table numbers, a bit flaky. Crashing crockery and darting around. Outside we sat at a table with nothing on it but were expected to know the menu when asked. It's a shame as it has potential. It's the location and some reasonably edible food keeping the place going for now. I had soup. Nothing special with a wedge of granary bread like a patio slab and a frozen brick of butter of which I couldn't spread. £15 soup and a sandwich, a cold bum and poor service.

Our favourite place! Fab views and food, lovely staff. Service is always impeccable! Thank you

Lovely food staff and atmosphere

I visited for breakfast on a damp & grey Sunday with a friend and we were met by a roaring log burner and a very friendly young member of the waiting staff. Beautifully decorated, the restaurant itself has a very welcoming feel to it . The breakfast menu had plenty of choice and looking around the room at everyone else’s food it was difficult to choose as everything looked amazing! We both ordered the skinny breakfast consisting of mushrooms, avocado, roasted tomatoes, poached eggs, beans, spinach & sourdough toast. It was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The coffee was also delightful. Great food (perfect poached eggs) & fabulous friendly service we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back soon!

Fabulous cafe, best fruit scone cream tea south of Betty’s Harrogate and very friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend. Great view from window.

Lovely place. Great food. Helpful, friendly staff. Delicious sausage rolls 😁

Great experience. Went with my wife and our 2 young boys for breakfast. Even though it very busy the staff looked after us exceptionally well . Childrens menu was great with the added bonus of being served on child friendly plates and cups etc. Food and drinks was top notch with choice of traditional and more modern options. It is dog friendly .Set in a lovely period building overlooking the sea. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely venue to stop for lunch. Good menu for the kids and adults. Good food for decent prices, I would definitely recommend it.

Been here several times really nice atmosphere with good food and coffee

Popped in for breakfast - great views of coast. Had the full English breakfast minus the beans plus extra mushrooms. Excellent, all great stuff especially the sausage.

This is a lovely cafe and very nice, friendly staff. Was very popular and I suspect a nice place to have a cuppa outside Personally i found the food ( I had veg fritter type things) bland - they were a bit soggy. The salad was nice. We both felt our meals were a bit disappointing but it is friendly and cosy

As soon as we entered we were welcomed and shown a table despite it being very busy. Our order was taken soon after and delicious drinks were given almost immediately. Not long after we received our meals which we enjoyed. I cannot commend the staff highly enough for their friendliness and attention.

Fantastic setting right on the sea front. Crab sandwich on granary for me and cheese and chutney on granary for the wife, washed down with tea for two. Visit if you can and spy the Walt Disney gates! All in all a very pleasant place if a little chilly sat outside. Well it is the beginning of autumn 🍂

Wonderful seaside tea room, beautiful inside, coffee brilliant, vegan cake was outstanding. Highly recommended.

We both had the excellent Full English and I had a perfect flat white and husband had a good strong pot of Yorkshire tea a great way to start our day. Waiting staff smiley and welcoming. Highly recommend

A lovely spot looking over the sea. The staff were very accommodating in providing us with the option to order breakfast to takeaway as we were staying across from them. The food was delicious - we had a Full English and pancakes. Highly recommend!

Looking for somewhere to eat with our dogs on a very rainy day in Sheringham. Came across this fantastic place. The service was great with very friendly staff. The food was delicious and good coffee too. The menu had a good selection and we opted for the veggie options of sweet potato falafel salad and mushrooms with Stilton on toasted sourdough bread. The sea views are fabulous from the garden as you’re just above the beach, unfortunately we could only look at the view through the rain covered window, but we will definitely return on a brighter day to enjoy the garden views.

Great character and history, location and apple/blackberry cake ! Welcoming, friendly and chatty staff - certainly recommend

We are there as I write. I chose a simple meal & it arrived hot, well presented by pleasant & efficient staff. My wife had a cream tea & tells me we will be eating here more often. Why would I argue??

Very busy cafe with good selection on menu and reasonably priced. I had a lovely crab sandwich, definitely good value for money. Staff friendly and we were served quickly. Worth a visit.

We visited twice during our holiday to Sheringham and both visits were wonderful. Super friendly staff, delicious food that was beautifully presented and our Labrador pups were welcomed both inside and out. Fabulous decor and great views over the seafront. We've already booked another holiday and so will definitely return to this little gem. Highly recommended.

Best cappuccino I've had. Very friendly and welcoming staff service. Definitely shall return!

Lovely staff very attentive Lovely cream tea

Dropped in for a coffee. Good view over the sea. There is seating and table outside.

Fantastic Breakfast had today, with friendly and efficient staff. Lovely to eat outside looking out to sea. Will be back thank you

Lovely gluten free cheese scone and a choice of 6 gluten free cakes (I had the carrot cake). Would highly recommend.

A breakfast gem for sure. Ordered breakfast and a chai tea with oat milk(thank you). All i can say is, if ever you are in sherrington, the Whelk Coppers Offers the most amazing breakfast, lovely sea views and great service. Vegan breakfast too, which is a big plus. Thank you,Kim and Denise

Struggling to find places open at 4pm, we found this place for a drink. We enjoyed fresh coffee, a welcoming service and excellent value.

Bought crab sandwiches. Crab was fresh and delicious. Bread was nice too. Although I feel that with some imagination and innovation the crab sandwiches could be modernised and alternatives offered (baguette maybe). Side salad was pretty pathetic. Service was not great. Waited to be sat as instructed, ignored by waitress who clearly saw us, so ignored the notice and made our way in. Whilst we were sat outside at exactly 3pm (according to our phone, I checked), two people waiting to come in at the entrance sign, only to be informed by the staff that no they were no longer serving crab sandwiches. Potential customers lost, as of course this is what is famous in this area. Cafe was still open and still had quite a few patrons. Poor service, and suspect the previous day when it was absolutely pelting down with rain were probably moaning at the lack of customers. This cafe feels like it’s stuck in the 1980’s. Will not return.

Fantastic tea rooms in Sheringham with great views of the seafront. So popular there is usually an hour wait on food - I'd advise to get there early or be prepared to wait for a table! Definitely worth the wait though! Something for everyone, children's menu available, and a variety of hot or cold food. Lovely staff and well taken care of.

Lovely place in a lovely location right on sea front with lovely views. Tables inside and outside staff are very friendly and service is excellent. We always come here and their sister cafe in Holt Wandering Whelks. Great selection of meals, cakes and drinks all at good prices. Dogs welcome as well.

Good service be prepared for wind when sitting outside

Amazing cream teas, fabulous views and friendly staff. Thank you!

Amazing. Very friendly staff and good food and drinks. Good vegan and non vegan breakfast. They had no problem with our dietary requirements and allergies.

Enjoyed a delicious English breakfast, a crab sandwich and a pork pie here. Staff were super friendly and views of the sea. What more could you want 💙

I would highly recommend this little gem. We had breakfast every day inside and out. It has a lovely outside area and is very dog friendly too. The service and food was consistently excellent even when they were very busy. Well done team & we will definitely be back.

This is a great place really friendly staff and good food

It's a tea room that is doing it right! Great communication from the start, seated quickly and order taken in good time, in a warm, friendly manner. We only ordered tea and a samosa but it was home made and delicious. We had an ogle at what other people were ordering and it all looked great.

What a great find Whelk Coppers was. Super friendly and helpful staff. Always smiling and happy to chat. The Liverpudlian lady, the ‘Pretty Flamingo’ lady…..all of the staff were wonderful. Food was great with good GF options. Would definitely recommend this place.

We visited for breakfast on a Sunday. At no point when we were seated at our table or when the girl took our order were we told about the 1 hour wait for food. Had we known this then we would have gone elsewhere. Many other guests were complaining too. It’s simply not on to not communicate this verbally on arrival. Drinks took 15 mins to arrive and we’d drank those well before the food arrived. Food was lovely though. They discounted the drinks after I complained but to be honest, the damage was done by then. We won’t return as there are many coffee shops and breakfast venues in Sheringham to choose from. Unfortunately it’s disappointing given the quality of food served and the very positive reviews on Tripadvisor.

We had two slices of cake and they were very small for the price. Nice but not amazing cake. Lovely setting and nice staff.

A stunning gem of a tea room to enjoy a cream tea. The outside tables have a great view of the sea which makes this place even more special. The food was fresh and well presented which is why I will definitely pay a return visit. Dogs are most welcome.

Nice homecooked style food. Good selection of breakfast dishes, light snacks and sandwiches, cakes and snack type food. Lovely fire in the winter. Great selection of seating inside and out. They do what they do well. a well deserved 5 stars. Edit - as a local I have been many, many times but find myself increasingly disappointed both with the service and food. Its still a fantastic spot but I really hope they get back on track and up the standards to where they used to be. It is no longer my go to place.

Had the pancakes and a Mocha really nice will be back.

What a lovely place First of all,the welcome outside meant you weren't squashed in atthe door whilst waiting for a seat I was welcomed,given a choice of where seats were available and made my way in knowing where to sit I popped in as I was waiting for my sister and got the train times wrong I was on my own but felt very comfortable The coffee was absolutely amazing and the scone delicious I was asked if I wanted it warmed up and am so glad I said yes I would thoroughly recommend this coffee shop

Called in for a coffee but the menu and food being delivered to other tables convinced us to stay for lunch… we weren’t disappointed! Delicious sandwiches, poached eggs on sourdough and a toasted tea cake were all tasty and fresh, reasonably priced. Lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the beach, dog friendly. Very cheerful and accommodating staff.

Hidden gem and open early which was nice for a Sunday service and food excellent

Great place on the sea front. The atmosphere and decor was really nice. The staff were really lovely and very attentive. The coffee was tasty and the French toast was fantastic and a nice big portion! Took some delicious homemade cakes to go. Definitely would recommend this place.

Loved this cafe for a midweek lunch. Very friendly and accommodating towards our young toddler, who enjoyed beans on toast and playing with their toys. Big bonus for wide range of gluten free options for my husband. Lovely setting, right by a nice bit of beach, most people choosing to sit outside with great view, although we chose inside this time. Very friendly, would return to sample what looked like delicious cakes.

Great to see the cream teas are just as amazing as they were when I was a teenager! Sheringham’s best kept secret.

All great! Lovely atmosphere topped with seaview, great food, we all had full english breakfast and loved it, and the staff was so friendly. Also enjoyed the aromatic latte and the delicious pancake. Thank you.

We make a point of coming here every time we come to Sheringham. Great service, price is reasonable, lovely views

Have no hesitation in highly recommending Our party of eight and 2 dogs were quickly accommodated, the service was friendly and efficient, you could clearly tell all the ingredients were of a high quality, and everyone was very impressed with there food, they clearly care about what they do, and also has a great atmosphere.

Lovely tea rooms tucked away, great crab sandwiches

We popped in for a coffee and soft drink this afternoon. Service was friendly and unhurried which made us feel welcome and relaxed. Such a beautiful place and will certainly return when in Sheringham again. It was truly the best coffee I have ever had. Thank you.

Lovely place,get location, dogs welcome also.highly recommended

Wonderful time here. Sat outside and had a lovely coffee and cake. Reccomend!

First time visit and it was well worth it... even sitting outside in a chilly 'off the sea' wind! They do have blankets ......Staff are really welcoming although they were really busy and what a good idea, to have a sign with wait time for food. They have a good menu looking to be all freshly made. I had a delicious crab sandwich and my husband, a scone with jam and cream, with a piece of cake to eat later. If we are in Sheringham again, we will definitely be back.....

Seriously pretty mocha and rather yummy cake. There were a couple of people in with dogs and all were impeccably well behaved. The retriever was a real sweetie !

Situated right on the front. We had an excellent cream tea here. Well worth a visit.

Lovely wood panelled room and the friendliest staff you could imagine. The coffee was one of the best I have had and the crab sandwich, although not cheap, was filled with crab meat. The sausage roll was also tasty and large. We will be going again.

Very dog friendly. Lovely staff. Good food.

Lovely spot for breakfast or afternoon tea and cakes, I go at least once whenever I'm in Sheringham! Perfect scones everytime!

Very good service, food is tasty and they're dog friendly

Went in for a coffee and stayed for brunch, we had bagels, pastrami, gherkins and emmenthal, also avocado, hummus, rocket and seeds. Both were very nice, service was excellent, good prices too. Not forgetting the excellent location

Dog friendly with amazing food and beautiful views.

Fresh produce and great chai latte

Always a favorite family destination when visiting Sheringham. Good menu, fair prices, lovely staff, cozy atmosphere, great views!

Haven't been here for a couple of years but staying locally so tried again. Popular and lovely setting. Some big improvements. Light and airy with great sea views inside and out. Lovely breakfast with wide choices. Efficient and really friendly staff. And some cakes taken away for later. Highly recommend.

First visit here and wasn’t disappointed! Very dog friendly Beautiful food Clean Friendly staff Recommend the French toast it is beautiful.

2nd time visiting this cafe at Sherringham. Dog friendly which is a bonus. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Had the homemade sausage roll and chutney...amazing. the homemade orange and almond cake finished it off a treat.will be back.

Lovely afternoon tea and cake at Whelks. The tea room is actually open into the late afternoon when most people want to have a hot drink. We had mocha, chai latte and iced chai latte. All were delicious, with the mocha one of the best we have tasted. Accompanying the drinks we had a lemon cake which was moist and light, a nutella brownie which was rich and fudgy and a millionaire shortcake, which was buttery and rich. Service was great and we came out stuffed! Whelks is highly recommended.

Amazing service, beautiful food and stunning views! Highly recommend!!

Lovely tea room with loads of history. Great food and friendly welcoming staff. If you're in Sheringham it's a must to visit

Enjoyed a cream tea and as the scones were large shared it with my husband with an extra coffee - plenty for 2. Came with good portions of cream and jam and I had 2.5 cups of tea out of the pot. we sat inside as it was a miserable day but seating outside overlooking the sea. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.

Very blowy day in Sheringham! This lovely tearoom is tucked along the promenade by the lifeboat station. Very welcoming friendly servers and lovely poached eggs on sourdough plus a great cuppa which was perfect after running around on the beach. The cakes looked amazing too! Super dog friendly. We liked that they were twinned with a toilet scheme in Tanzania too. Make sure you check out the art on the garden walls and the quirky gates. Highly recommended.

Accidentally stumbled across this place following our beach walk and I'm so glad we did!! What a gem! Cosy, warm, dog friendly and they serve great food and coffee plus the scones were gorgeous.

The food and atmosphere are nice, but the service is really inadequate. Only one of the 3 vegan breakfasts you ordered arrived, and when we asked, they said yes, it will come but After that, when we asked again, they said you only ordered one, and then we ordered two more vegan breakfasts again.

Tasty food, friendly staff and a good view

Always enjoyable visiting Whelk Coppers Tea Rooms

Good food and service with a smile. Really nice

Amazing service and great gluten free food! Would highly recommend coming here - especially for the pancakes! They accommodated us with a pram which was much appreciated

Whenever we pop into Sheringham, we make a beline for the Whelk copper, food is excellent staff are friendly can get a bit caiotic at times but that's the price of success, all food is cooked fresh so be prepared to wait to get a table and served with freshly cooked food.

Great place for coffee and excellent home made cakes. Friendly atmosphere and service with a fab sea view. Will definitely be back!

The second time me and my partner have visited this establishment, I thought on the first occasion it was perfect in every way , great service, excellent food and a lovely ambiance. Visited again on a chilly February day , sat outside and had lovely Yorkshire tea and sausage rolls and toasted tea cakes , delicious, and they provide blankets to keep the chill off you , a lovely touch, in my opinion the best little cafe in Norfolk.

Lovely spot for a tasty brunch overlooking the sea. Bustling and busy inside, outside with a great view of the sea. Recommended

Fire on inside. Beautiful view. Friendly staff. Outside seating but a bit nippy today. Hot pot of tea and a lovely locally sourced salmon and dill pate and ham sandwich.

Lovely place for a coffee and cake, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Friendly staff, lovely sea views, outside tables for summer, good selection of food (I ate the delicious crab pate today).

A few of us had a nice business breakfast here with great views of the sea. The only problem came when we came to pay and asked for the VAT no. The server said he 'wasn't qualified' to give it out, despite knowing that the business was VAT registered. I have had to waste time emailing the owner to find this out (yet to be responded to). I did suggest to the server that he might want to find it out and then stick it to the counter or till so people didn't keep having to ask, however he told me he was 'only paid to serve coffee'! LOL.

Nice welcome lovely bubbly lady serving us !! Also there was only one soup available but soon made up an alternative. Nice presentation and cosy place full of nice people. Have been here many times but deserve a thumbs up . 👍

I think I can go as far as saying that this is the best cafe I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. The food and coffee were delicious and the service and views were top notch.

Went for a lovely breakfast here with my partner, mum, and dad. It was absolutely lovely. The food was brilliant and came out in good time. The service was fantastic. You can tell they all cared about their customers' experience. I will definitely come back in the summer.
