The Merchant’s House – Norwich

On a hot day in the city shopping, what better way to relax than an iced latte in a period courtyard? Thats exactly what we did! The Merchants House has character, style and great coffee, the courtyard is a hidden gem just waiting to be enjoyed.

First time in here for 10 years, lovely calm atmosphere. Staff were very cheerful and helpful and interacted happily with my toddler. Tea, orange and flapjack were £5.20. Not expensive. Outdoor seating available but it was raining.

Really great cafe in a historic and quirky building. One of my favourite places for lunch, with a limited menu of delicious toasties and cake. Increasingly difficult to find a table as it seems to attract lots of people working on laptops, nursing a single cup of coffee or glass of water (even at lunchtime).

Great for the the daytime or the evening. Plenty to choose from and wonderful historic courtyard. Well chosen options on tap for alcoholic drinks, and a solid cafe options with teas, coffee and cake in the day. Pleasure to see this building still with lots of life in it!

Went for a mid afternoon pint. Almost everyone else on the bar was on coffee and a few where tapping away on laptops. So it was a slightly surreal atmosphere. But the beer was excellent and the staff were friendly. So all good.
