Went for coffee, cake and scones with friends on our boating holiday. Excellent service by a friendly lady who chatted to us as we ordered and later when she cleared our empty cups from the table. Warm welcome and if I lived locally, this would easily become a regular spot for a cuppa. The cafe doubles up as a restaurant for the evening. Our coffee and scones were tasty, served in beautiful surroundings (both location and the interior decor). The art gallery upstairs was interesting and the shop handy for buying duck food and biscuits. Hope to visit again when I return to the area.
Had a lovely lunch here. Very friendly and reasonably priced food was excellent will definitely go again.
We didn't eat here, but perused the shop. It has many items which celebrate the local area and are ideal as gifts to take home. It also has staples (bread etc) if you need to top up the galley, and some treats if you need a chocolate hit. It also has an extensive collection of the fiction books that brought us to the area - we wanted to visit some of the locations mentioned in the books. Well worth a visit.
A wonderfully decorated cafe with attached convenience store. Open for beautiful breakfast for boaters and lunch with tasty sandwiches and cakes. Highly recommended
One of the finest spots on the Broads to take in the view and enjoy delicious cakes and pastries.
Lovely food, amazing choice of cakes, and very friendly attentive staff.
Absolutely fabulous cafe, we sat outside as we had our dog with us, thankfully the weather held up and the rain stayed away. The cake selection is superb as it the service. A lovely young lady originally from Leicestershire even carried my try outside for me. We’ll definitely go back as tea/coffee and cakes were delicious.
A lovely little spot and worth mooring at Ranworth Broad for. An old malting and grain store which has been converted into a modern cafe and fantastic gift shop with a gallery for local artists or artists capturing the beauty of local landscapes. The cakes are out of this world and there’s too many to choose from! Staff are really friendly and go above and beyond. Some quirky and amusing signage if you keep your eyes peeled. Try the rhubarb and custard ice cream, or courgette and lime cake - both sound a bit odd but are delicious! Ask the owner for his shirt story, it’ll make you laugh. You’ll also catch some friendly ducks that love to be fed. Good wifi too (which in a bad signal area is an added bonus).
