Wonderful experience at this lovely cafe. So many gluten free options. Delicious cheesecake wonderful cakes. I had some scrambled eggs and gf toast. I asked for tomatoes on the side. They were delicious. Perfectly cooked lovely spices. Nice calm quiet warm atmosphere. Very kind to my dog too. Can’t recommend enough. Also recommend the Turkish coffee.
What a great find! Tucked away at the top of St Giles, this fab little cafe offers amazing cakes and drinks as well as a great food menu of both Turkish and European favourites. We had the San Sebastian cheesecake with chocolate sauce, it was sublime! The staff were so friendly and it was buzzing. We look forward to coming back to try out the breakfast.
Amazing food, great people and very generous portions. The cakes are put of this world! Definitely will be coming back and very reasonably priced I would say! Thank you
As a long-time customer and as someone with Coeliac disease, I have always appreciated The Cherry Leaf Café for its thoughtful approach to gluten-free options and high standards. Unfortunately, since the change in ownership, my recent visits have not met the standard I have come to expect. On both occasions my friend and I visited, we were disappointed with the quality of the food and the overall experience. The kitchen area appeared crowded with workers’ family members coming and going, which raised concerns for me about health and hygiene standards — particularly important for those with coeliac disease. The quality of the food has also noticeably declined. The vegan cake we ordered was extremely dry and inedible, and the gluten-free muffins — which I used to enjoy — were half the size they used to be and covered in an overly thick layer of buttercream, lacking the freshness and balance they once had. Most recently, we returned to give the café another chance, but unfortunately the experience confirmed our concerns. We ordered toast with “homemade jam” and were served a single slice of bread — resembling a basic supermarket loaf — with jam that did not appear to be homemade. At a price of over £4, this did not feel fair or reflective of the café’s previous quality. When we queried this, a second slice was eventually provided but served warm and without butter, and the staff response felt dismissive. Regretfully, based on these experiences, we will not be returning. I hope you will take this feedback constructively, as The Cherry Leaf Café has long been valued by the local coeliac community, and it would be wonderful to see it return to the high standards and warm service it was once known for.
What a joyful discovery in Norwich. Super healthy tasty food in a lovely cosy space, plenty of light from outside. Quiet. Super friendly helpful staff which is always lovely to find too. And the food? Delicious meals to best followed up with a sweet treat, and there are SO many to choose from!! Right in the centre of the town this is a must for those with health taste buds
Favourite coffee shop in Norwich. Great staff - always friendly. Cater well for vegan, gluten-free and allergies. Great selection of cakes available. Great place to work/ study on a laptop - comfy seats and many plug sockets
What a gem of a place this is we stubbled on Food was outstanding and coffee to die for. A very warm welcome and dog friendly too. A good selection of cakes. Pleasant place to enjoy a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Will definitely call again when we are on our holidays here in Norfolk.
Lovely coffee and cake with friendly service and nice atmosphere. There's always a good selection of cakes here. Like it so much we keep returning! VFM. Returned today 21/10 for the lemon & blueberry cake, our favourite. Well done Gemma making this.
I wanted to send some gluten free cakes to my daughter during lockdown to cheer her up, and came across this hidden gem whilst searching online for bakeries located in Norwich. I placed an order via email and they then delivered a wide selection of fantastic cakes, which went down extremely well with my daughter! She enjoyed these cakes so much that I have since ordered from them on several occasions, and am glad to say that they never disappoint. I also felt nervous in trusting a business I had never used before to cater for my daughter’s allergy needs, but I was made to feel very comfortable by the owner and employees that they understood and would take the necessary precautions to ensure her needs were met. Overall, I am extremely impressed and intend to become a regular customer in the future!
