The Friday Morning Market in Wymondham is a regular outing for us with our neighbour, and each week we visit a different coffee shop. We recently sauntered down the hill to The Coffee Shop, 25 Market Street. At the time, Halloween was only a week away, so the large window of the shop was decorated with a scarecrow and other autumnal items.

When I complimented Michelle on the seasonal décor, she gave the credit to her staff, Amanda and Sarah. Michelle Filby took over the business eight years ago and continued its authentic, homey atmosphere. Glenn Miller music plays softly throughout the day. She plays ‘The Ultimate Big Band Album.’

We’ve eaten here several times over the years and never been disappointed. I’ve previously enjoyed the brie and cranberry panini and the gluten-free cake. Alex has enjoyed a generous breakfast.

This morning, our neighbour Ruth ordered a toasted tea cake, Alex ate a crispy bacon sandwich, with a small salad on the side, and we each had a delicious hot drink: a sweet chai latte, tea, and aromatic cappuccino. Cakes are made on the premises with eggs from free-range chickens. The aroma of from the kitchen tickled our noses as soon as we opened the door.

Most Friday mornings when we drop in, the shop is almost full with an indoor capacity of twenty-one diners. Outside there are two tables and four chairs (if you are a smoker).

The Coffee Shop is open five days a week from 09:30 - 15:30, closed on Wednesday and Sunday. Their food hygiene rating is 5. They are a family-oriented place serving customers of all ages. The morning we were there, a 9-month-old little boy, with his dad, was the centre of attention.

So, what are you waiting for? Make The Coffee Shop your next indulgence for quality food and drinks. You won’t regret it!
