“ Great service, a very warm and welcome atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Food was excellent and such great value! ”
“ Lovely place. Wandered in on a busy Saturday night and David, who we think was the manager, went out of his way to seat us. Excellent service, lovely food and great vibe. ”
“ Wow wow wow. The aesthetics of the room are comforting. The staff are welcoming and calm. The food ..... delicious. The black pudding hash is my new favourite breakfast meal. The Eggs Benedict was enjoyed in stunned silence by my usually chatty girlfriend, a sign of great food. What a great little venue. I’ve worked in this industry for most of my adult life and I will say, this spot is comfortably one of the most well rounded cafes in the country. ”
“ Eggs benedict - Hollandaise sauce, just perfect. Not vinegar flavour and heavy texture. Coffee just how we like. Not fruit. Quirky and very clean place. Attentive and friendly host. ”
“ I went here with my Mum and Granny. We had a wonderful time! Delicious food - especially the focaccia bread Relaxing atmosphere ”
“ Intimate atmosphere; the decaf cappuccino was excellent, served in a vintage mug, and we shared a main dish charred cauliflower, fig, and spiced turnip puree with chili honey and walnuts. Gluten free friendly. Nice staff. ”
“ An absolute gem in Norwich! We visited on a sunny day and opted to sit outside with a perfect spot for a leisurely brunch. The beetroot gnocchi was insane! 100% recommend - nothing short of favour. The staff were friendly, attentive, and added to the overall positive experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Norwich, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking for innovative brunch options. Highly recommend! ”
“ I recently visited The Bicycle Shop in Norwich with a couple of my friends, and honestly, what a lovely little spot. Tucked away on St Benedicts Street, it has this quirky, vintage vibe with old bicycles hanging on the walls and a cozy, mismatched interior that feels instantly welcoming. We went in not knowing exactly what to expect, but from the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt just right — chilled, warm, and full of character. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, which made the whole experience even better. The food really impressed us — everything was fresh, full of flavour, and there were some great options for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed brunch, a catch-up over coffee, or just somewhere with good food and even better vibes, I’d definitely recommend The Bicycle Shop. It’s one of those places that makes you want to come back again, and I’m pretty sure we will. ”
