A lovely place and a life saver! - Edit
Well I always over-order when it’s a totally vegan place. It’s still a bit of a novelty to me! We ordered a ploughman’s, soup of the day which came with lovely chunky bread, a breakfast and drinks. It was delicious and the atmosphere was so chilled and relaxed. Check opening times as it’s Wednesday onwards usually. Worth a coastal day out with a lunch stop here!

Cafe Carmel - Edit
A lovely little café set in a pretty village. The owners and staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The cafe was empty when I arrived, nearly two hours later almost every table was taken. Great to see the support for this place.
Read moreI picked up a Ploughman’s lunch to take away and strolled down to the beach, just a few minutes’ walk away — the perfect spot for a relaxing lunch. Later in the day, I couldn’t resist returning for one of their delicious-looking cheese scones to enjoy for tea.
It’s not the sort of place you’d expect to find a vegan café, it’s great to see them doing so well. Dogs are warmly welcomed, parking can be a little limited — there’s a small lay-by directly outside, but space is only available for a few cars.

Lovely fully vegan cafe - Edit
Found this cafe on HappyCow while on the way home from a trip in Cromer, and it was so good! We had the breakfast burgers (which use Moving Mountains patties), a cheeze scone, and two slices of cake - all delicious. Super friendly staff too. Would recommend anyone passing through the area or staying in local towns to pop in.

Highly recommended - Edit
Fully vegan, super friendly staff. Quite small and cosy - great for a small group but probably not for larger. Tried both food from the kitchen (mostly brunch type meals, I had a sausage wrap) and some baked food from the counter, both very nice.

An absolute gem of a Cafe - Edit
We have been to Cafe Carmel a few times living not too far away in Norfolk. It’s a fabulous place with terrific food and lovely people who work there. Our dog is always welcome and my the cakes are sensational ! I have also enjoyed the all day breakfast but my personal favourite are the Cheeze Scones which we usually take away with us !
Read morePros: The Cheeze Scones , Lovely owners/staff , Super setting and homely, comfortable interior

Brilliant cafe friendly people, near the seaside and a park so great location too. I tried a burger on one day(I think it was the breakfast burger) and picked up some pastries and salad on another for a nice lunch. Would definitely visit again if in the area

Our fave place in Norfolk - Edit
Amazing food & service as always. We always look forward to visiting Carmel’s when we are visiting Norfolk.
Read moreWe went as a family of 6 (2 vegans), everyone enjoyed their feast. 5 of us had the all day breakfast, 1 had a burger. It was a tough choice, it being morning, helped our decision making!
The cakes are amazing. As we couldn’t decide, we ordered 5 slices, had a bit then passed it on to the next person. Every single cake was incredible. My fave was the maple & pecan.
I also had a cheeze scone whilst waiting for the party - just because it was vegan. My only regret is not taking some home.
Loved everything about our visit & will look forward to the next time.
Pros: Everything is vegan & amazing, Dogs are welcome, The lovely vibe
Cons: We don’t live closer

Fab place! - Edit
What a great find! What would we do without Happy Cow? To find a vegan cafe like this was so lovely. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our little dogs were told they were welcome on the settees! There were 8 of us and our order came so quick. We had burgers, soup and wrap, all day brekkie and superfood salad and it was all delicious. We took cakes back with us and wow, what a selection! This cafe is a must visit! So good to be able to eat in an all vegan place.

Gem of a cafe for everyone - Edit
Such a great place for anyone, not just vegans, as there is something for every taste: we had a delicious breakfast roll with all the fake meat, Moroccan soup, the best cheese scones, the BEST coffee and walnut cake. Plus really friendly and helpful staff who recommended loads of other places with vegan options in the area. Cannot fault this place: as a vegan it's what you hope to find wherever you go.

Favourite place in Norfolk - Edit
Man I wish I had discovered this place years ago. Super lovely and personable owners, properly family run - couldn’t do enough for the 4 of us, happily accommodating tiny humans. Food is superb, menu changes or special request encouraged and the cakes and scones divine! So so so good, go today!!
Read morePros: Lovely owners , Cute, charming wee cafe, Delicious food & great coffee
Cons: They refused to relocate their cafe to Scotland 🤣, My stomach wasn’t big enough to try every cake, The music was only 99.9% exactly my taste!
