The Willows Cafe Bistro - Broadland

Very popular little caffe, we had luck getting a table. I would prescribe. home cooked eating and beautiful cake. is visited again.

Had a willow burger. was not expecting much for a £10. but it was fantastic. double stack two rashes of bacon, dill and tomato and cheese, onion rings and a basket of chips. really good quality.

A fantastic hidden gem of Norwich open 7 days a week. My personal experience is of warmth smiling faces and only one error. Within 2 minutes of stepping into the cafe I was seated and had a menu in front of me. The waitress on front seemed genuine and smiling bearing in mind there was only 2 members of staff serving and 3 in the back as can be seen by pictures . I wasn’t in a rush and within 10 minutes my order was taken. All food is sourced locally and cooked to order. I had the 7 piece brunch with toast and free refill filter coffee. I had to admit I couldn’t eat it all. When it turned up I thought “is that it” but half wY through I just couldn’t eat it all unfortunately but it did taste nice. There was one error made which I didn’t complain about as they where busy and that was I asked for a poached egg and received a fried egg mistakes happen . One thing I noticed is that even though the staff where wearing a uniform they wasn’t wearing name badges so I can’t comment about a particular member of staff. Whilst I sat here and enjoyed my brunch I noticed a high turn over of customers which shows Gracie’s has a good reputation. The table I sat at I wouldn’t recommend as it was right opposite the kitchen and all I could see and hear was the kitchen porter washing up and a pile of continuous dirty plates however there is loads of other tables available when empty . The car park is limited in space around 10 cars but there is plenty of local parking across the road and near Barclays Bank . The only reason I gave this review a 4 and not a 5 star was because of the egg issue which in theory changed my order and showed they wasn’t listening to my request 100% when taking my order and communication is lacking somewhere between front of house and the kitchen, otherwise I would have no hesitation in recommending this site for afternoon tea and brunches for future events.

Hidden Gem of a place! We’ve driven passed so many times but thought we’d pop in for a snack and was surprised with what they had to offer and how well decorated it was. Definitely worth a visit and I’ll be going back too! We only did takeaway but there is seating too!

I was not a fan of this cafe when it was a different name, so I came today to see what the new owners had in store for me as a hungry customer.
