We've had both coffee and hot chocolate here and both were great, also had various pastries and they were excellent too. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is seating inside and out. Highly recommended.

A great cup of coffee - one of the best in Norwich. The lad that served me was super kind and helpful. The atmosphere was delightful, with some wonderful things on sale upstairs. The young girl Julia was super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Update: I’ve had several coffees from here now and I can confidently say it’s my fave coffee in the city. It’s consistently good and don’t get all the nasty a anxiety wobbles from it either. LUSH. Really nice little cafe with some cute home bits. Good coffee and... soy milk!! One of the very few places in the city that does. Haven’t tried the food but looks good. Service was good too!

What a gorgeous place to meet friends or just let your mind wander. Coffee is superb quality & Brandon delivered top notch service & a truly velvety drink. I will be heading back to peruse the shelves and enjoy watching the world go by in a gorgeous window seat.

After a long time, I visited Waring Store , and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is cozy, soothing, and beautifully designed with great interiors and just the right background music – not too loud, which added to the relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly, making the whole experience even better. I ordered a fresh orange juice, and it was made right in front of me, super fresh and delicious! I also tried their salad, which was very tasty and refreshing. Later, I had a scone, which had a bit of a noticeable baking powder/soda taste, but other than that, everything was excellent. Normally, I just grab a coffee or hot chocolate to-go, but this time I decided to sit down and enjoy the full experience – and I’m glad I did! I’ll definitely be coming back
