What can I say everything was perfect from booking afternoon tea over the phone to being greeted on arrival, service, food, staff. Cleanliness we will definitely be returning. We had so much to eat we had to bring a couple of sandwiches and couple of cakes home. Thank you to the tea retreat for my husband’s birthday.

Discovered this lovely eatery on our 1st visit to Attleborough. We recieved a warm welcome and made our choice from a lovely selection of savoury and sweet treats.
I had perfectly cooked, tasty poached eggs on toast and my friend had a well filled tuna and cheese sandwich which came with crisps and salad. Complete with pots of proper leaf tea!! All was delicious.
Displayed cakes looked so good we popped back later to try them and sample a milkshake and iced coffee, again delicious. Took some cakes home too!!- Service

My sister'diamond wedding anniversary, so it was family and friends only, the tearoom was closed to the public for the afternoon. Situated in a street, there is parking about 5 minutes walk. Lovely greeting on arrival, very pleasant staff. This is a call worth making. The service was very good (there was a crowd) choice of tea, coffee , juices and cold drinks. They have very large scones, plain and cheese. And the sandwiches are many and varied, and well filled. A lovely variety of cakes is also available. We had a lovely afternoon.- Service

The raspberry and coconut cake was absolutely delicious, a perfect desert for cake lovers. They are using the best quality of ingredients and a large selection of cakes, drinks, breakfast and afternoon tea. Extremely welcoming staff, excellent service. Definitely recommend it!

Nicoleta, we really do appreciate your review/recommendation and thank you for the lovely comments and pictures, we are really happy to welcome you again in the future. Thank you !
My husband and I went for a tea yesterday for Valentines day. It is one of the best afternoon teas we have had and for the first time ever we couldn't finish it! Our brownies and fruit were packed up and we enjoyed them with a cuppa later on at home. I highly recommend this lovely little cafe. We will be back.

Lived here for almost a year and always walk past the window fancying a cake. They look so gorgeous. Well today I finally took the plunge and went in, only negative thing I could say is that I wish I had gone in sooner. The cakes are absolutely Devine. The tea selection is great. Finally some good blood orange tea that isn’t bitter!!! The cakes weren’t too sweet which made eating them so much easier. Portion sizes are huge so you definitely get your moneys worth. Definitely going to be bringing my friends and family to your lovely cafe. Thank you so much. Service was fantastic.Owner response
We're really happy you eventually took the plunge and enjoyed :) Thank you for the kind words and of course we're looking forward to seeing you again. Warm regards from us all.
Well worth a visit. The best cup of tea we've had out in ages. My husband had an Apple Crumble slice with ice cream and I had a toasted tea cake which were both delicious. Staff were friendly and the whole place was spotlessly clean unlike some of the other places in Attleborough we've been to. We'll definitely be going back.

Thank you for the review Yvonne and we're very happy to read both of you enjoyed your time with us and intend on returning. Thank you and see you soon!
Friendly welcome and lovely staff. Festive afternoon tea with my family for my sister’s birthday. Such a treat: more than enough to eat and boxes supplied to take home what we couldn’t manage ☺️

Thank you Elaine for leaving the review! We're really happy you enjoyed your time with us and we're sure Linda had a great treat too :) See you again and hopefully soon :)
Without a doubt the best cafe in Attleborough. Great food selection. I can personally recommend the fully loaded hotdog. Portion sizes are very good and coffee is tasty. Very good teas with plenty of variety. Staff are very friendly and we are always greeted with smiles. Will remain as our cafe of choice! Aiming to try the afternoon tea next :)

Thank you for the great review Stephen, we're more than happy that you enjoyed you visit and we're looking forward to welcoming you again!
I had afternoon tea delivered for me and friends, it was the best I have had. The sandwiches were of "proper" bread the fillings were very classic (my choice), the cakes, brownies and scones were gorgeous, the jar cakes were very different but lovely. Along with all the little extras. Thank you very much, it made our day perfect.
Owner response
Thank you for taking the time out to review Lesley, we're happy we disappoint and yes "proper" bread is the best! Hope the apple crumble slice disappoint too! Thank you for the kind words and we hope to see you again very soon!
Popped in late this afternoon for a take away latte, very friendly cafe! Gentleman serving was fab and the cakes looked absolutely amazing.. I’m saving up my calorie allowance to go back and have a huge slice of chocolate cake next time in in Attleborough!
Owner response
Hi Faith-Lucy! Thank you for taking the time out to write the review :) When you're passing through Attleborough next time please call in and we'll happily feed you with a slice :)
The Tea retreat is a great place. Friendly staff, clean and great coffee and tea. Haven't tried the food yet but will definitely get round to that. Also a very big thank you from Raymond for making him feel very welcome.
