    Best coffee and tea stop in North Norfolk! Rich home roasted coffee, beautiful jasmine tea. Perfect pecan tart and Victoria sponge so light it melted in your mouth. Many thanks! Julie and Eddie.

    It's my choice of venue, to go and enjoy a cup of coffee, with a slice of lemon cake or Victoria sponge, plus you can buy good coffee as well.

    Really good coffee and great service. The Flat White was spot on! Enjoyed that they had the option of Oat or Soya Milk for my Flat White. The staff also kindly asked a couple to move so the whole family could sit down together. They show a real passion for coffee and wanted us to both enjoy our visit and our coffee. Would definitely visit again if in Holt. I would thoroughly recommend this coffee shop for coffee lovers, Vegans and people with special dietary needs.

    Fantastically smooth coffee - some of the best we've ever drunk (and my wife and I drink a lot of coffee!). Cakes were fabulous too, the menu is brilliantly written (well done Steve!) and incredibly friendly service. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    Finally North Norfolk has a great coffee shop. Superb coffee choices with single origin suppliers like Bibi Plantation. Milk is sweet and perfectly done.

    Good coffee but no cold drinks at all and a rather annoying manner in treating customers.

    Perhaps you wouldn't expect to find 'two exceptional' coffee bars in such a sleepy North Norfolk town such as Holt but there certainly is!.. the other being Cross St Union.Consistently superb coffee presented now since the newish leadership of head barista Jamie.Love the place,the coffee and the staff are equally exceptional.

    Unfortunately the coffee is so good it’s spoilt any chance of ever having coffee anywhere else. I just love this place. Great, friendly service and to die for, addictive fresh coffee!

    Delicious coffee and cake! My husband said it was the best coffee he's ever had and even the speciality tea was delicious according to my mother-in-law. Totally recommend the place.

    Very good coffee, very friendly. Real specialty coffee instead of "coffee"

  • 3/5 Carl R. 5 years ago on Google
    LOST IN SPACE Coffee good. Very good. No problems there, if a little overpriced for the petite cup size. (Yes, I know this is how connoisseurs drink coffee). Food/Snacks rather expensive (£2 for a cookie). Main issue for me is the hospitality is ambivalent at best. Perhaps they struggle if you do not fall into the expensive branded, pink shirty designer-clothes, ankle booted middle class mould of clientele? I have several times seen the staff simper and fawn over, (probably regulars), with their Macbook, briefcase and newspaper - "oh i'd like it to be quiet in here because I am intellectual and important" type person. So give it a try for some marvellous coffee but do not feel hard-done-by after reading this review if you find it hard to feel welcome if you come in with children. Obviously they are trying hard with all the regimental black uniforms, coffee-expert mystique demeanours, shiny machinery and colour matched regalia, but I have on several occasions felt this is a snobs coffee shop, quite unlike say, comparable upmarket places in more a cosmopolitan area like London, e.g. Monmouths coffee shop in Borough market, serving "Apollo-type" customers and all the rest of us - but with warmth, heart and a sense of genuine customer engagement.
