Coffee is absolutely amazing, service is wonderful, decor is fabulous, it's all incredibly welcoming, and dog friendly, too! Best thing Hemsby has ever had to offer - couldn't recommend enough. It even stays open later than the shops on Sundays, so you can grab a drink to wind down before travelling onwards. I visit whenever I'm nearby, it's a pivotal part of our Norfolk holidays. Smoking table out the front, plus separate outside seating area for non-smokers. The booths inside are my favourite place to sit, chilling with my dog and my family, enjoying a proper coffee. Background music is tranquil, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A perfectly central location for all that Hemsby has to offer, too.

Visited here hoping for lunch and was served, initially, by a surly young woman who informed me that the only items available were in the cabinet - just a few pre-packaged toasted sandwiches. Our order was then taken over by a much more pleasant, welcoming lady. We settled for a ham and cheese panini each. The bread and cheese were fine, but the ham resembled a long strip of extremely salty, chewy rubber, which we were unable to cut with the little wooden knife provided. Not a particularly pleasant experience, and we wouldn't recommend.

Very chilled and relaxing place to have a light bite, coffee and a milkshake. The place is spacious and clean, they support the Cameroon Boye project which means they pay above market price for their coffee direct to the farmers. A nice touch is that their outside garden space is also non smoking, go to Hemsby during half term and you’ll appreciate somewhere to sit outside without being polluted by stale cigarettes.

Nice cafe, we went in for some drinks and to stay out of the rain - unfortunately they wasn't doing smoothies or milkshakes so I had a slightly unhappy son until we realised ice creams was still an option! The cafe is well presented, tidy and clean and it was nice and warm!
