Bread Source — Restaurant in Broadland

I had been looking forward to trying Bread Source. Their window display of fayre always looks delicious.

On a cold day, this is possibly not the place to go if you're looking for hot food.

There was a limited selection at the time (1:15pm). Nothing is made to order. Working out in the cold, the only thing available were toasties (of which there were only two left). They took a really long time to cook, which was inconvenient. They do not have a microwave for savories- something to consider possibly.

There were at least 3 staff members behind the till, none of whom seemed to have any sense of urgency. That's not brilliant when you're stopping for a 20 minute lunch break.

The food was on the expensive side and boxed up with no way of containing any heat. Having said that, the sausage roll was delicious even if it was served cold and the jam donuts were praised on site for their filling.

The atmosphere, waiting for a long time, for two simple toasties was dull in what is a large space with little interaction.

It's the little things. The shop is not the best for traffic flow with the till directly at the point of entry/exit. You feel compelled to rush your choice to get out of the way. Whether eating in or taking out, perhaps the focus should be on the service. It disappointed me. Perhaps that's not...

This is one of the best cafés I've ever been to! I came here early on a Wednesday morning with my wife and daughter for her second breakfast.

We ordered an oat flat white each (not for the hobbit!), which was perfectly made - and that's from a coffee snob! The selection of vegan-friendly bakes is excellent; having genuine choices at this level of quality is a welcome change. We enjoyed a cardamom bun and a banana muffin - both also toddler approved!

We did need to make use of the changing facilities for our daughter, which were super clean and well equipped. The cafe generally had a great family vibe - I did note just the single high chair, though.

Overall, you need to come here if you're a vegan looking for top-notch craft coffee and bakes in a super clean,...

Enjoyed Bread Source as a brand for a number of years but - Staff serving us didn’t seem too enthused to be serving us. Crumbs on virtually every table and on the floor around every table, 5 members of staff in at the time. Given the lack of attention to this, I would question whether the sausage roll we ordered had exceeded its out of fridge time of 4 hours. And the walls really need a touch of paint. Scuffs/marks/coffee stains almost everywhere in the side room we sat in. Felt a bit sad. I think there should be higher expectations of the manager on shift. If I was the owner I would not be pleased if I saw my shop...
