Lovely coffee shop I enjoy getting my coffee here on the morning school run and catching up with the other mums. Staff also lovely and very welcoming and have the best cakes!!
I went here a while ago and absolutely loved the food! The smoothies are also excellent ❤️ a little bit of sunshine at the bottom of Prince of Wales x
What a great cafe, very comfortable, great location. Loved their award winning bacon roll. This place is well worth a visit
Very welcoming and really lovely food and coffee. Would def. recommend whether it's to catch up with a friend or an informal meeting
Many times I have walked past the Departure Lounge on my route into work but today I finallly decided to go in! I was greeted on arrive and made to feel very welcome. We discussed the use of "Puro Fair Trade Coffee" and I must say the taste was incredible. I recommend anyone who is a coffee fanatic to go in... I have been converted. And will now buy my morning extra shot late from the Departure Lounge!!!
Departure Lounge is a haven away from the rush of the day. Fantastic for a lunch time escape.
Howard and Team always friendly and welcoming. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Food is healthy and of good quality and presentation. Coffee is top class!
Highly recommended!!
Great coffee+great food+GREAT staff= great place. Would definitely recommend, and will be visiting again!
Excellent coffee. Haven't had lunch yet but reviews suggest you should. Really friendly staff who want to serve you and make your experience a good one. Comfortable and relaxed inside and good wifi. If you are walking in from the train station direction, walk past Costa temptation and have a proper coffee at the Departure Lounge.
What a fab place! Came inside The Departure Lounge to escape the rain and found the food and coffee top notch. It's child friendly and the team professional. Great atmosphere.
Been here a few times now, lovely service, fantastic cappuccino’s & the most amazing bacon rolls ❣
Awesome place, such a great alternative to standard British pubs. Great food and warm, welcoming owner.
I had lunch in here today and absolutely loved it. The apple and goats cheese salad was lovely and fresh and my husband's tuna and cheese panini was tasty too. We will definitely return for another lunch date!
Such a lovely coffee shop, great atmosphere, wonderful stuff and love the food. Spent all morning there
Lovely service, great coffee and fantastic homemade soup. Perfect for a cold, blustery day.
Lovely fresh and tasty panini for lunch with a perfectly brewed cup of tea. I'll definitely be back :)
I visited the Departure Lounge Cafe in Norwich and I really liked it! The cafe is a nice place where you can get drinks and snacks.
We had a latte and a cappuccino. They were both very good, especially cappuccino that was frothy and smooth.
The best part was the brownie. It was super delicious! They warmed it up for me, and it was gooey and chocolatey.
The cafe was pretty quiet. There wasn't any music, which would have made it more fun. But the place was still nice.
Overall, I had a good time at Departure Lounge Cafe.
We walk into the city weekly, the departure lounge is always our first stop. The main reason is, in my opinion it’s the best coffee in the city. We do not eat often but the food we have had is always good The current owner is a nice guy who always chats .

A great venue with great drinks and service.
A real must try, a visit reccomended by the locals.
Food is good.
Good coffee, fabulous tasty almond croissant (we shared one!) and reasonable prices. Just what I needed. Has a nice buzz too.
A relaxed environment. The food was delicious! It was all freshly made and you can certainly tell. Great presentation, simple but effective! If I didn't live so far away, I'd definitely dine here again.
This cafe is very conveniently located near the train station. Nice open seating area with tables and a view of the street outside. Scrambled eggs over toast was a great breakfast with a latte chaser. Would recommend.
A great little cafe close to the station. Escape the queues for overpriced water at the terminal and head to this comfortable, clean oasis for a perfect drink and a sit down. I'll definitely make this an important part of future travel itineraries.
This is my new go to place for great coffee and nice food near Norwich station. The coffee is delicious! Also, I was told there would be a wait on food but there wasn't anything very long. Come here for well priced food options, especially vegetarian deliciousness
Great place to visit for a great cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast. Not a massive choice but what there is a good 😁
Friendly, happy and helpful staff. 👍
Great family run place to grab a coffee on the go or to have in . I love their oat cappuccino ; it is my favourite! The hot chocolate is delicious too and homemade :)best I had ! . Great selection of breakfast/ food to go and yummy cakes ! Croissants are baked on daily basis! Always nice and friendly customer service since I have discovered this little gem 2 years ago ! Love popping in for a little chat if not too busy . Never had a bad experience at this place , although they do get busy and sometimes it might take a few minutes to get your order, but it’s understandable as independent coffee shops go extra mile to make a perfect coffee and food and I honestly don’t mind ! It is worth wait ; plus it’s not Costa or Starbucks when you just won’t get that quality and you wait forever ! Prices are very reasonable compared to other coffee shops . One of my favourite places . Like the inside decor not to mention the toilet is always clean . My go to go place .
I've dropped in here quite often recently. Every time I do it strikes me just how friendly and engaging the team are. Lots of smiles and casual chat. Great coffees at reasonable prices and a selection of foods of which I can vouch for the Granola pot in the mornings or a ham and cheese toastie depending on the mood. It's a gem of a coffee shop made all the better by people who are passionate without pretences about what they do. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
Great bacon panini, nice friendly people, inexpensive. What more do you want?
Lovely place for coffee and breakfast. Nice friendly staff .Would definitely recommend. Going very often however today was the first time i tried their chicken and avocado baguette , was delicious and fresh.
This is a nice local business with friendly owners. They do a great cup of coffee (you can also have your drink with almond or oat milk) and they always have a few cakey treats for vegans. I can recommend the flat white!
Great little café with plug sockets in the corner. Good service, well made up tables and some small decorations. We sat in there for two or so hours while waiting for some friends to turn up, and they were very inviting. Their Oreo Milkshake was quite moreish, and their prices are very reasonable. They're positioned well for where they are considering that the Costa opposite the train station is now gone. Good Café to watch the world go by in.
Amazing place! Excellent coffee & food and
very friendly staff defenitly best coffee shop in Norwich
I had noticed this cafe near the station before coming to visit Norwich, so I came to the door full of hope at 7.45 only to discover that they open at 8, which was when my train left. The barista preparing the shop still welcomed me in, let me order a coffee and offered to prepare hot food. He was very patient and never appeared bothered to serve a customer outside of opening hours. The coffee was good but at that point it was irrelevant. 5 stars of course.
