Bread Source - The Alley

This is my favorite coffee shop in Norwich and Norfolk. The coffee quality is fabulous, staff know how to make a good flat white. So happy that they use minor figures oat milk, i never liked alpro. The raspberry cinnamon buns are amazing .

After taking regular visits to the unit during lockdown, couldn’t be happier to have our local back open for eating in. Popped in today for a coffee and a fresh croissant. Lovely to see the café filled again with people and supporting another great local business.

Very over priced, but the doughnuts are nice.

Lovely way to spend an hour, just sitting in the window in the early morning, watching the folk head of to work, college and yoga. The pastries are really first class and the service is not bad. Though with the present shenanigans of mask wearing and the embracing of psycho-social distancing, it is not easy to discern if the person you imagine is vaguely smiling, is actually rabidly scowling instead. The decor is modren and pleasant. Lots of pine and big windows that make it feel rather like a cool Copenhagen hangout. There is free wifi, and that always brings out the Ms Rowling in me. I just want to sit there imbibing good coffee and tapping out a novel about a cisgender girl with blue hair, red tartan and a passion for passion. She is unfortunately, waylaid by a wayward Tory, who disrespects her sapio-sensuality and her deep commitment to the science of Astrology and the philosophy of Veganism. However, it all ends well for our beautiful, and amusingly idiosyncratic heroine, for at an Extinction Rebellion event in Chapelfield Gardens, she meets a very handsome Afghan refugee. He is an artist with a fine talent honed by suffering, and incidentally, pockets filled with a wealth of perfect emeralds. They get together, and soon they have a studio and a nest of happy children, living in a big white brick house in NR2, with a Land Rover and a Lotus parked on their gravelled drive. Anyway, the coffee here is never quite hot enough. To get around this, you must consistently ask for extra-hot and will constantly be presented with a coffee that's extra-warm: so 4 stars.

Behold the legendary Bread Source cinnamon bun.
