Art Cafe

We were searching for vegan food in the wilds of Norfolk, visited this cafe to a splendid surprise! Vegan soup of the day - delicious; great selection of vegan gluten-free cakes; and some decent main meal options. Add in a chilled atmosphere & friendly staff - don't miss it if you're in the area!

Wow, this cafe is amazing. We love it so much and always visit when we're in Norfolk. We had a salad platter which was delicious and a coconut curry which was equally yummy. When it came to cakes there are so many to behold. I went for the millionaires shortcake with gold sparkly sprinkles on top and my beloved man had the blackberry vegan cake. Lovely staff, calm vibe, lots of rustic wood around, lovely little shop on the way in with shiny things to buy. Colourful art on the walls adds to the experience. Recommend wholeheartedly.

Stopped here for lunch with my mum today as we were near Holt. Lovely little cafe with a shop selling the coffee and local artists work. Nice atmosphere and cool interior. It had amazing vegan options for me, all clearly labelled with a V. They even had some fresh vegan brownies! Also very nice to see lots of GF options and cakes, since my boyfriend is coeliac. I'll definitely be taking him here. My non-veg mum very much enjoyed her food too. Menu changes daily. I had the soup of the day, which was sweet potato and coconut, with fresh bread. My mum had the slow roasted onion salad. Lovely selection of salads, tarts, curries, and sweets. Friendly staff. Competitive prices, especially for the area. Would definitely recommend.

Interesting little cafe. All home made food. Great capoccino coffee with soya. I was very excited about a vegan full English bfast but vegan option was removing the veggie sausage and eggs and adding half a slice of bread. Disappointing to advertise vegan when there was no offer of any substitute so it was only beans, a grilled half tom, mushrooms and toast. Food nicely cooked but expensive. Also ate lunch there as only local cafe. Lunch expensive and some vegan options were the meal with items removed, no alternatives.

Lovely little cafe within a delightful, arty, gift shop. A daily menu of light snacks and full lunches with lots of choice for vegans in the main course (all labelled). I had a really tasty courgette curry which came with a gorgeous,spicy, homemade,carrot chutney, it was a good size portion too and a reasonable price. Dessert choice was limited to one, a coffee and walnut cake, but it was one of the nicest cakes I have eaten in a long time. I think they do need widen their vegan friendly cake range though.
The cafe has a good choice of drinks, both soft and alcoholic, including some lovely local pressed juices and a great choice of coffee also locally roasted.
Service is friendly but was a little slow, maybe it was the Saturday staff working on the day we went?
Toilets are a few doors up in another building,which might be a pain in poor weather.

A gem up on the north Norfolk Coast.
Great place, a very accommodating chef and great food.
Many vegan options and a vegan dessert option.

Highly recommended!

I'm vegan and live in Nottingham, where there are lots of veggie options - but I sometimes struggle a bit when coming to visit my Mum (who lives in Holt). She suggested coming here, and we didn't even realise it was veggie, so it was a really nice surprise to go somewhere where people didn't bat an eyelid when I asked if the food was vegan! The food was really nice and fresh, with some good salads.

The staff were really friendly and the overall atmosphere was nice too - will definitely go again on our next visit!
