Two visits in recent times. Excellent service, got my orders spot on. Coffee and food fresh and tasty.

Superb cafe, way above the average. Family -run. Excellent, very pleasant service, delicious breakfasts, and spotless. Separate women's/men's loos too. Ate there for our three days in Norwich. Small suggestion: turn down the music a little. It's not loud, but could be quieter. Overall, a perfect cafe.

If you’re after a proper British breakfast made with care and good ingredients, Copper Kettle is the place. Everything feels honest and well-prepared — nothing fancy, just solid, tasty food done right.

This little cafe is absolutely lovely, and we just love going there everything we are in Norwich. I would like to try other things on the menu but we always seem to go for breakfast and I just love the pancakes and berries. It's a very small cafe but the atmosphere and the staff are just wonderful...and so is the food. The prices are quite reasonable for the area. It was just a great experience and the food was beautifully presented. I hope you will stop in to try it too.

The Copper Kettle cafe is very clean and fresh. We had a great breakfast with tea. It’s well situated and wasn’t busy. Staff are nice and friendly.

Had lunch and it was yummy, ordered a burger. Restaurant is with simple and light colored interiors, not a huge place but it was full with guests. We didn't waited for table but all tables were soon taken. They took considerable time to prepare food but it was delicious and perfectly cooked juicy chicken. Service was good and servers were quite courteous. Good to mention that this restaurant accepts only cash till 10 pounds.

Amazing place! The food was delicious - fresh, flavourful and nicely presented. The vibe was warm and welcoming with a great atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!
