I've found my favourite local coffee spot. Great coffee in delighful shop with very welcoming staff. Look forward to visiting again. Since my first visit Swallows has extended and offers a delicious selection of breakfasts and delightful lunches. My daughter and I have enjoyed the breakfast baps and jacket potatoes for lunch. Highly recommend a visit here.

North Walsham is very well catered for, in terms of decent places to get some breakfast, and Swallows Coffee Shop is up there with the best. Ambience and cleanliness are first class, the staff are friendly and attentive, but obviously, most importantly, the food is excellent....We had the full breakfast and generous pots of tea, which hit the spot nicely! Word of warning though....The beans are served in a ramekin, and retain their heat for quite a while, so don't be an idiot like me, eat the beans first, and burn your mouth! Wanted to follow up with croissants and marmalade, and was a little disappointed that they'd all gone, but the crumpets I chose as a substitute were very nice all the same. After two courses, I was satisfied, and it was too early for cake really, anyway, but they had some tempting looking offerings on display, so hopefully next time we'll go later in the day for coffee and cake! We were minus our canine friends on this particular occasion, but it's worth noting that this a dog-friendly establishment, which is always a from me! A really pleasant experience from start to finish, would wholeheartedly recommend, and will be returning soon.

Julie makes this place, it was the friendliness of Julie and her customers in her old shop that decided us on moving here. The atmosphere is wonderful and Julie and her staff make it a lovely place to be. The new cafe stunning, oh and the coffee and food ain't bad either!

Very friendly small coffee shop with some lovely homemade cakes and sausage rolls! Was very full when we visited so very little room to access the counter round the chairs. But everyone was happy to make room.

A lovely, friendly, cosy community hub of a coffee shop. Great coffee. Comfortable seating. Absolutely hopping for a grey Monday Morning yet didn't feel rushed or pressured. Great Central location. Very clean. Dog friendly and aware of dietary requirements. Only minus, whilst able to handle most dietary requirements you have to ask, "safe dishes" are not indicated on the menu. Will definitely be using again!

Very friendly and polite welcome and service. Nicely presented tuna sandwich, and scone and butter. Spoilt marginally by the scone having some freezer burn
