Figbar — Restaurant in Norwich

I understand the all parties must buy food rule. But my friends were ahead of me and ordered. I decided not to get anything.... When we were then informed. It was fine. I said I'd wait outside for them, which I did. My friend then bought me a hot chocolate so I'd come back in. It got brought over. The person told me you have to buy food as well as a drink. It's a food purchase dine in only. I asked for a refund on the hot chocolate in that case as I felt very awkward.... The bald guy, maybe the owner, then spent the rest of the time staring at me after the very kind lady working there spoke on my behalf and they allowed me to stay this once. My friends said the food was lovely and the hot chocolate I had certainly was. But I felt terrible and it ruined the atmosphere for my friends. I feel awkward and it's ruined our evening and I'm sure the poor lady now feels terrible too. Shame on the owner. Please make a more obvious sign to state you MUST purchase food (a drink doesn't count), or maybe that would make you seem far too obnoxious and deter future diners.

Please state this on this page description. It says to drink, eat and socialise..... I...

Undoubtedly one of Norwich gems. I love coming here and enjoying one or two of the lovely cakes on offer. There is always something new to get my mouth watering and eyes sparkling. If you are lucky you may also see photos being taken of their made to order cakes (that they bake for weddings and other occasions)

All cakes are baked daily on the premises and you can see the bakers going about their job behind the counter. They have an amazing variety of ready to eat cakes displayed on the counter or if you fancy something special they will make one of their signature desserts to order.

Atmosphere here is great. It is probably the dark grey walls and constellation of lights, it bestows a different quality to the space and makes the cakes really stand out. If you are into food photography the cakes really do look great set up against the walls. Only problem I encountered here is to do with not being able to find a table. This being a very small place often there is no space to sit down. However, if you are just after lovely cakes they do offer take...

Went here the other day after seeing their brownie sunday on Instagram. I was super excited to try it because it looked amazing. Now to be fair their range of cakes are amazing, handmade, well worth a shot, however their sundays are weird and unpleasant, for a start I got a small one and disappointingly it was just a tonne of weirdly salty soft serve with some salted caramel on top and a tiny amount of brownie, under that topping though... Nothing, I only ate the top quarter and threw the rest out because like I say, just salty soft serve all the way down. The person behind the counter didn't seem super confident with the machine or maybe she just didn't want to so maybe they'll be better now.

Again, it's worth stating that their cakes are awesome and the restaurant has a nice little seating area. That's why I give them a 3 star, definitely avoid the...
