Went on a Friday morning in September to meet a friend. Lovely quaint cafe. Food was delicious - the carrot cake was one of the best I've ever tasted and the cheese scones were warmed up 😊. The customer service was friendly. They even had a basket of toys to keep little people busy. Only reason I gave it 4 star was because it didn't take card payments ( only cash) unless it was a bank transfer and I didn't have a card reader to set this up.

Lovely quirky cafe in the heart of Mulbarton. The food was good, portions were small for the price. We ordered 2 sandwiches, tea for two and a small slice of cake cost over £20, so do check prices before ordering as web info is very out of date. This cafe only accepts cash payments, contrary to info on Google. Can't fault service or atmosphere which is charming.

Nice spot for breakfast or lunch. An old double decker bus converted into a cafe, with additional outside seating. The food was good, the serving staff seemed be young ( teenage ) girls who we very efficient and friendly.

Loved Blakeys was so qwerky and quaint, would reccomend it to anyone who wants something in a diffrent setting. Just be warned the stairs to top deck are steep. But they have seating on ground level on nice days.

Really fun way to enjoy your tea and cake. Lots of options of drink, cake & sandwiches. Very friendly service. Good view over the common. Seating outside too for warmer days although you cannot see the common from there.
