Tofu-tastic

We bought lots of items to take away
Amazing selection of cake, we bought 2 to share
We also bought two types of tofu- both made by tofurei
The soy sage rolls we bought were tasty & a good sized portion
The pasties were equally delicious
Couldn’t resist a Tofurei t- shirt too
They were serving lunch when we visited- again all looked delicious
Very friendly & helpful
Wish we lived closer so we could always but our tofu here

Lovely café - and more

The "more" means they also make tofu, and they sell frozen meals to take away.
Sweet treats, hot drinks, sandwiches (a seasonal Festive Feast). Frozen meals to take away and bake at home. The Banoffee Custard Rocky Road is decadent (not to be consumed in one go!). There is seating upstairs plus stools at a window bar on the ground floor. The menu includes pie-and-mash with peas and gravy (Fridays & Saturdays), jacket potatoes, tofu noodle soup and pasties. I want to try everything on the menu!
The festive pie (Nov 2022) is tasty, served with green peas, mashed potatoes and gravy. Lovely, seasonal table decorations.
Nice toilets too.

Pros: all vegan, house-brand tofu, frozen meals to take away

We had a lovely slice of cake and a Jaffa cake pie, as well as buying some tofu to take home, which was really good. They also gave us the last sausage roll as it was the end of the day! Thanks!

Pros: Completely vegan, Good desserts, Cute place

Just the best place. So much love for this little place ❤

This place has the most warming welcoming atmosphere. The staff are so lovely and if you love pigeons please go, the art by mort the artist on the top floor is breath taking.

The food is delicious, the cakes are to die for, and this is my favourite place to get a coffee or hot chocolate as its really nice.

Can fault it. Its my favourite place to relax.

Pros: Amazing atmosphere & food. The cakes are amazing, If you love pigeons you will love the amazing art, Really friendly staff

Cons: None, None, None

Nice place for lunch. Could do with some hot food though.

The food was really good, and though there weren't many savoury options, what they did have tasted great. Could have done with something hot and maybe some fries or something?

Great selection of cakes, had the chocolate honeycomb cake, and would really recommend it.

Pros: Everything on the menu is vegan, Large selection of cakes, Lovely staff

Cons: Not many savoury or hot options

Lovely Vegan Cafe but limited food choices

Had Tofurei on my list to visit when in Norfolk. We arrived at 1.30 on a Tuesday & unfortunately there was only 1 sandwich, quiche & a few bits of cake left which was a bit disappointing after seeing so many lovely looking food photos!
The smoked quiche was really nice, the sandwich was nice too, however our cakes were really dry & a bit of a let down.
Enjoyed the lovely painted pigeons & the staff were friendly.
Sadly I don't think I would visit again.

Pros: Vegan , Great decor , Friendly staff

Cons: Little expensive , Limited choices

Cutest vegan cafe ever

If you have £10 to spare for a light lunch, you can enjoy it upstairs surrounded by plants and pigeon decor (love this). The staff are genuinely so lovely and it’s my favourite place to chat with friends over some snacks in Norwich.

Pros: Everything is vegan , Always changing menu of sandwiches and cakes, Great atmosphere

Cons: Bit expensive, Closes quite early, Limited milk choices

Lovely vegan café with gf options

I had the gluten free all day breakfast wrap and the gluten free honeycomb cheesecake. Both were absolutely delicious. So nice to have my dietary needs catered for with such good options! We loved the theming, the decor and the atmosphere of the café.

Great little spot

Nice little vegan spot - fairly limited menu - but all very nice and they have gf options. Inside and small area of outside seating. Had the soya ‘tuna’ salad sandwich and a sushi rice bowl - both very fresh and very tasty. The cakes were pretty good too.

Lovely Lunch

Lucky enough to have lunch at @tofurei this lunchtime. A really nice lunch, good atmosphere and great service. Sarah went for the Chick'n Tofu Salad sandwich & a Pumpkin & Courgette muffin. I went for the Mushroom & Leek Pastie and a Bicoff Vanilla Cake because holiday calories don't count! 🙄

Pros: Loads of Vegan choices., Nice ambience , Friendly service

WOW

Locally grown, homemade tofu eatery! Tofu doesn't get any better than this. The tofu sandwiches and tofu sausage rolls are INCREDIBLE! Plus you can get big bags of tofu sausages and other treats to take home (we bought some currywurst which were delicious!)

A must visit if you're in Norwich!

One of my favourite places!

I have been going to Tofurei since they opened in Pottergate, both for eat-in lunch and take-away goods. At Christmas I order sausage rolls, vegan artisan cheeses and chocolates etc! I recently had a coffee/sandwich lunch at the new premises and it was delicious. Came to about £8.00 and was worth it! I live in a village outside Norwich and during lockdown Tofurei delivered vegan orders which was really helpful. I have taken non vegans for coffees/lunch and they love the cakes there. Thank you Tofurei.

Pros: All Vegan , Lots of options to choose from., Lovely staff.

Lovely vegan cafe hidden down the cobbled streets of Norwich, they had a great selection of pastries and cakes available. I have to compliment them, my oat flat white was delicious and decoratively presented! Coming here has made my day 😄
