Purposely wanted to try this cafe after seeing photos and reviews online. We were not disappointed at all. Cafe is set in a lovely location next to a large, beautiful listed barn used for weddings and other functions. Large indoor eating area with big choice of cakes and pastries on display. Lots to choose from on the menu from breakfasts, fresh sandwiches, pies, etc. All looks very fresh and definitely homemade. The staff were really nice and polite, cakes are huge! Well worth a visit after a walk along the nearby beaches. Enjoyed the location, service and food so much we went back next day for fresh crab sandwiches Glad we did, best crab sarnies ever, thick sliced bread with side salad, gorgeous. Thank you Dunes, just gutted we live to far away for regular visits

Double check the opening hours.Fabulous place to have lunch, gorgeous building and settings, the staff were really friendly. Fish Finger sandwich was delicious! So fresh and tasty. The cake selection was unreal too, we felt the prices were on point with the quality too. Highly recommend!!

One of our favourites! Always friendly staff, good food, great atmosphere. Eating inside and out is a really pleasurable experience and we have quite a few business meetings here as it is consistently good! Very dog welcoming too and many of our holiday cottage guests visit. Ideal for going to the beach.

Stumbled upon this cafe whilst out for Mother’s Day. Decided to pop in on a whim and we’re so glad we did. The cafe and barns are stunning. Beautiful and relaxing location, despite being busy and clearly popular. We had the lemon and strawberry cake which had the perfect balance of sweetness. The staff were all friendly and the coffee and cake was superb. We will definitely make more trips out here just to come to this cafe!

Stopped for coffee and cake one Friday afternoon. Shared a Norfolk Shortbread, jam and cream with my wife. Cross between shortbread and scone-very tasty. Staff very friendly and cafe nice and clean with varied menu.
