We live in Cringleford and love to come here on the weekends by bike to start our journey with a lovely breakfast. The cafe was recently renovated and is always clean. There is a nice and wide selection of breakfast food. The staff is professional. There's air-conditioning inside. There is an outdoor area with tables under umbrellas for sun. There is a power assisted door. There are beautiful flowers and a bowl of water for your dog.

Waitrose Café is a lovely, calm spot with fresh food, great coffee, and friendly staff. Perfect for a relaxing break or quick lunch following a bit of shopping

It’s a great little cafe! It can get a bit noisy sometimes since there is no barrier between the cafe and the market, but it’s got plenty of seating inside and out, and they have milk alternatives available and great portions for a good price. They don’t really have any gluten free menu items available which is a bit of a shame, but overall great customer service and very helpful. They do not have takeaway cups, but the market has takeaway cups you can purchase and have them make a coffee to go in those.

Not a massive selection but fine regular cafe food of good quality. Some nice cakes. A little expensive. Not table service but all lovely staff at the counter. Beautiful neat and clean with lovely flowers. Sometimes a bit small and full.
