St Giles Pantry

A beautiful array of local produce on offer as well as delicious treats. We tucked into a sausage roll, spinach and feta roll, lemon cake and pecan pie and washed it down with a delightful iced latte. The best thing about this St Giles Pantry for me though is the decor and building it's a lovely place and I already cannot wait to come back.

This is a really great place for a quick snack, coffee, or local beer. I had the sausage roll, which was marvelous. My friend had the lemon cake, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I also bought some local sausage and salami, and some olives; all were wonderful. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Happened on this as we walked to the Plantation Gardens. Charming. A genuine friendly welcome and pleasant service. We liked the coffee and tea ‘cups’ which are unusual. We had lovely sandwiches and were spoilt for choice when it came to cakes! Unique and somewhere we will return to now we’ve found it!

Have used St Giles Pantry catering service a couple of times for family events. They provide delicious locally sourced food and drink, nicely presented and without fuss. Lovely staff who care about getting it right for the occasion. Would highly recommend!

The wonderful team at the Pantry catered my father’s birthday party. They are thoughtful, considerate and professional, going above and beyond to make it easy. They provided a delicious buffet, including drinks, and provided everything we needed - no fuss, no bother.

Visited a friend who lives in Norwich, mooched around the town and popped into this shop. The man who greeted me was amazing and very funny. Had a good old chat, bought some sausage rolls to take back to Kent and share with the girls at work omg they were amazing. The personal service goes such a long way and really enjoyed my visit to this shop, put a smile on my face. Thanks so much. :)

Lovely place! We stopped by for a quick coffee and had a pleasant experience. The flat white was delicious and so was the chocolate cake! The pantry also sells fruit, jams, oils, gin and the list goes on…Everything about it was great and the owners are extremely friendly! Loved it!

Very polite and welcoming staff. Loved their Americano and cakes. They have variety of flavors.

Hidden gem must visit! I love this place. The owner and folks working here are always so friendly and helpful. Delicious local food beautifully presented. A beautiful combination of cafe and local grocery store. Try the meat & cheese board, and the bagels.

What a find! Wonderful place selling local produce. Excellent wines, beers, cheeses, pies, breads, cakes etc. had a glorious smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Lovely relaxing space, especially at the back. In the summer heat it is a wonderful place to unwind, almost like a Spanish tapas bar. The owner, Alan, is a friendly and amusing, and he has delightful young staff who are attentive and knowledgeable. Cannot fault the place. Deserves 5 stars on all counts, especially for introducing me to the truly incredible St Giles gin. The navy strength stuff is a winner. Interesting selection of punters too. My only “gripe” was that it is not open longer hours, but I can see that later closing might attract a boozier clientele, although I scored pretty highly in that department. 🤣. Get yourself over to this great little place in the tranquil corner of Upper St Giles. [Alan is the cheque in the post?? I am joking. When I like a place I am very happy to plug it. And this place is a gem.]

Beautiful, festive cafe. Lovely staff that is super helpful. Amazing cakes and mince pies and the coffee is great. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely coffee and generous slice of cake in here after wandering around Norwich. The cake was delicious, the atmosphere very welcoming and relaxing and the owners really friendly. A real gem of a place which, now I’ve discovered it, I will definitely be coming back to.

They made a beautiful hamper for my brother. Great coffee and lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

What an absolutely lovely shop. I was looking to buy locally produced products to support independent businesses and I found exactly that. A wonderfully decorated shop and very personable and polite owner. I bought a multitude of local goodies (couldn’t help but go overboard) but the star of the show was the carrot cake, which was the best I’ve ever eaten. Such a shame I was unable to return for a second time.

A gem in Norwich. The Pantry is located in a part of Norwich known as 'The Lanes'. Fantastic coffee and great service,

That’s such a lovely shop. You’re able to drink some tea and to have some cake or sausage rolls, pork pies etc. otherwise you can buy local products from Norfolk and surrounding area like cheese, jam, juice, eggs and they have like high quality dog crackers. The girl I met there was lovely and we had a long chat. Staff is in general so friendly and the shop is so cosy, lovely.

I first went into St Giles pantry some months ago while my wife was looking in a nearby furniture shop.

Standing outside looking in at the wonderfully evocative array of cakes and pastries, the owner came out to chat.

Neither pushy or overly solicitous, we had a brief chat and I decided to go in and try one of their pork pies.

I've been hooked ever since - not on the pork pies, which are wonderful, but on the general atmosphere of bonhomie, which I thought had long disappeared from modern life.

Go in, say hello, and be prepared to be transported back to a time when people had time for each other.

You'll be glad you did.

My first time in Norwich and I had an wonderful experience visiting St Giles Pantry! Super cozy place and such a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend anyone to go in and sit down for a drink. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and nice, they made my experience fabulous. I had a flavoured gin and tonic 🍸 based on their recommendation and it did not disappoint! I couldn't leave without a Norfolk breakfast tea and handmade cookies which are absolutely delicious. 👌 thank you 😊

Never been to Norwich before but one of the best little cafes me and my partner have ever walked into on a whim.
Super cozy, welcoming staff and such an quiet atmosphere.
The coffee and cakes were amazing and flavor filled, I would recommend anyone to go in and sit down for a drink.

One word: fabulous !!
The coffee is first rate and served in Bodum glasses.
The food: superb. Truly it is. Had a wonderful, vegan arancini here that left me truly sated. Delicious.
Then, as my eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach, the carrot cake was too tempting. Real taste that cannot be duplicated in factory made products. Moist, moreish to the point of feeling truly obese and absolutely perfect.
Finally, but not least, the staff are an absolute delight.
I love St Giles Pantry.
