Often busy but that's because it's so good. Delicious pastries but controversially I found the cinnamon bun very very dry. Recommend the brownie or pistachio bun. Good coffee and friendly service!
Lovely place with excellent food. I can't speak personally to the quality of their hot drinks but a friend of mine enjoyed the coffee he ordered. Their Almond Croissants are extra delicious but quite elusive so I'd recommend going early if you want to track any down. There is also a nice view of the old church that is right next to Bread Source.
We went to two Bread Sources in Norwich. The one in the city centre we enjoyed a coffee, and sausage roll and cheese scone.
They were so delicious that we stopped at the shop near the Church on the Hill to take one home each.
Well worth a visit.
I am never disappointed by this lovely place. The coffee is phenomenal. I always get a flat white and it tastes nicely strong rather than just being milky. The cakes are also amazing. Look out for the seasonal offerings.
There’s also bread so if you’re looking for a loaf for breakfast, stop here rather than going to the supermarket!
I have a love/hate relationship with Bread Source. I absolutely love their range of pastries and cakes, the best in Norwich by some distance. I hate the fact that they're so good that I'm almost incapable of walking past one of their establishments without purchasing something which is terrible for me! However, they could do with improving their gluten-free options.
I absolutely love this place. Great pastries and great coffee. A fab spot to pause and watch the world go by. I can't walk by these days without popping in to buy something.
The raspberry & pistachio is my favourite right now
Really wonderful food and drinks, some of the best cafe food I've eaten. Prices are incredibly fair, it's a little busy but I suppose it's because everything is so wonderful. I came back the next day as I had to try some of the other options!
A great cafe to come and study and eat delicious baked goods. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is bubbly but not too loud. The food is delicious from pastries to cakes and doughnuts. Definitely recommend coming.

Bread Source is fabulous, we often stop in a Saturday for a coffee and a treat. I always get a Pagnota too.
This week we left with a couple of cheese straws for later, which were delicious.
The only thing I don’t understand is the branded paper under my cookie - is it needed, I have a plate?
Fantastic cakes, sandwich rolls and sausage rolls, vegan options too all washed down with good coffee. All baked in their own kitchens.
Admittedly the bread source roast was exceptional to the extent that we bought the beans of the day. It’s full bodied, rich and smokey taste was very good. To add the spelt and chocolate cookies were terrific. All in all, the quality of the food didn’t quite represent that of the attitude of the staff with their unenthused ethos. Regardless of this, I’ll most likely return.
Great coffee. Lovely freshly baked goods - variety of breads, sweet and savoury pastries, sausage rolls, cakes etc. Also really good coffee, and they sell frozen Brick pizzas!
Great cafe, lovely snacks, I had the pork and leek sausage roll very nice. Comfy, trendy and well worth a visit.
Unbelievable pastries and doughnuts. Get the sourdough from here every week and it’s perfection. Caravan Coffee is good too.
Nice coffee I’ll have to go back for a pastry another time

Lovely way to spend an hour, just sitting in the window in the early morning, watching the folk head of to work, college and yoga.
The pastries are really first class and the service is not bad. Though with the present shenanigans of mask wearing and the embracing of psycho-social distancing, it is not easy to discern if the person you imagine is vaguely smiling, is actually rabidly scowling instead.
The decor is modren and pleasant. Lots of pine and big windows that make it feel rather like a cool Copenhagen hangout.
There is free wifi, and that always brings out the Ms Rowling in me. I just want to sit there imbibing good coffee and tapping out a novel about a cisgender girl with blue hair, red tartan and a passion for passion. She is unfortunately, waylaid by a wayward Tory, who disrespects her sapio-sensuality and her deep commitment to the science of Astrology and the philosophy of Veganism.
However, it all ends well for our beautiful, and amusingly idiosyncratic heroine, for at an Extinction Rebellion event in Chapelfield Gardens, she meets a very handsome Afghan refugee. He is an artist with a fine talent honed by suffering, and incidentally, pockets filled with a wealth of perfect emeralds.
They get together, and soon they have a studio and a nest of happy children, living in a big white brick house in NR2, with a Land Rover and a Lotus parked on their gravelled drive.
Anyway, the coffee here is never quite hot enough. To get around this, you must consistently ask for extra-hot and will constantly be presented with a coffee that's extra-warm: so 4 stars.
Edit. Have been back since and the staff have been professional and helpful, and with Ollie and Nicki on board, there is never a mediocre cup of coffee. 5 stars!
Our favourite coffee spot in Norwich! All pastries are fab, and great coffee too.
