Popped in with friends after a long rainy dog walk and had a lovely late lunch and a warm coffee. The food is very reasonably priced and my jacket potato was decent. The cheesy chips and toasties were also great. Nothing fancy just an honest cafe lunch. Loved it.

I wish they had gluten free options. It’s very dog friendly, only a few tables inside but plenty of outside space (with good views) for when it’s a beautiful day! Other than lack of gf cakes and options, there are plenty of hot meals available, including toasties and jackets. All day breakfasts too! Great little pit stop for a post-walk tea with the dogs.

Great little dog friendly cafe in Earlham Park. Open most days from 9.30. For the money, it was a very good breakfast. Wish I lived closer.

I like this place, you can take your dog's in here and I think the food is reasonably priced too. Been here a few times normally for cold drinks in the summer and hit in teh winter while out walking the dog. This time we stopped for food. For the price, you can't complain!

Situated at Earlham Park in Norwich. This little cafe has become an institution for the city and the park. It has been run by the same person for a long time and has had a couple of changes inside as well. The food is simple but tasty. Homemade cakes, crisps, chocolate, teas and coffees. The best thing is breakfast and breakfast rolls that they have to offer. They're certainly filling and very reasonably priced compared to some establishments in the city. One thing to point out if you're not a dog lover. This is a dog lovers paradise and they allow dogs inside as long as they're on a lead. They also provide dog sausages for £1. They serve food between 9:30 to 2:45 and get there early because it soon becomes busy and tables are hard to find. Cash and debit cards are accepted and there is also a book sale for charity at the back. Well worth a visit.
