Flour & Bean — Restaurant in Breckland District

A location we chose purely random This was our first time (August). We stopped for an afternoon nibble.

We were greeted, and the small line inside moved quickly. We ordered a flat white, mocha, panini, almond croissant, and baguette sandwich.

Positives: Atmosphere. Inside was cozy, and outside had a few tables (we sat outside). Located at an intersection in town, so there was bustling energy and good people watching.

Coffee & Pastry. Roast was exceptional. Both our drinks were smooth and rich. Very tasty indeed.

Drawbacks: Food. It wasn't bad, just simply "ok." Honestly, it's not much better than a grocer meal deal. So sufficient if you're hungry. But it to be expected.

Overall I'd say a good stop for coffee and pastry. Not a bad way to kill a half hour if waiting...

Writing this review from the Cafe itself. Having just parked in Dereham for a quick wander I have been pleasantly surprised by this wonderful little pit stop. I ordered a meal deal, coffee panini and a fruit scone for £6.50 which is most reasonable. The panini was well stuffed complete with salad and the scone served with Rodda’s cream and Wilkin’s jam. All of which was delicious. The coffee was great and flavoursome from very fresh beans, much nicer than a Costa or any other high street marque. Brilliant service, a place I would...

Sat outside and enjoyed a very nice bacon and sausage bap. Reasonably priced and good quality ingredients (I have had enough bacon rolls to know when one is a good quality :) ) All staff wearing masks and customers too (something good to see in this pandemic, as is good outside seating) The window was full of reasonably priced cakes that looked like they were made for the gods, but I was able to resist (it was the start of our day) but you can bet I will be back to sample a couple next time I am passing...
