What a lovely cafe. Brilliant food, nice ambience and really nice staff. Service is quick, but not rushed and prices are reasonable. There are some wonderful bottled craft beers from the locality. The food is really fresh and extremely well-presented. If you get a chance, go for it!

Excellent food. Massive selection of both savoury mains and puddings - including multiple vegan and gluten free. Busy at lunch so best to come when not on a time restraint. The window tables are a great place to have a relaxing meal.

Fantastic restaurant with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. It recently burned down, but had reopened in its former spot and is better than ever. Probably my favourite restaurant in Norwich, certainly for lunch (and I'm not vegetarian!)

Had a lovely time here for my girlfriend's birthday. First of all, the place is beautiful inside and we managed to get a window seat which was perfect. Also the staff were super friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was really tasty and felt fresh. One thing I would note is that you check the menu beforehand as I could understand some people finding it a bit hard to make a choice, but personally I thought it was pretty inclusive. If you're looking for a great vegetarian/vegan spot in the heart of Norwich, definitely give this place a go for a tasty, affordable meal out!

We went on a Saturday lunchtime, and we had about a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which is pretty normal for a Saturday, we were told, so if you don't like waiting, maybe go on a different day or try to book a table if you can. Having said that, it was worth the wait. The food is all vegetarian or vegan, and the meals we had were all very good, as were the drinks ( my daughter had the rose and beetroot latte, which sounds very odd but was lovely!). The staff are friendly, and the restaurant is nicely decorated and has a relaxed and informal atmosphere. We didn't have a long wait for our meal, either, which was impressive given how busy they were. I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoy the food here, so give it a try.

A hidden gem. A real sun trap in the courtyard. A lovely range of vegetarian and vegan food and an excellent service. Well worth a visit if you have never been.
