My favourite lunch place

Easily one of my favourite places in Norwich. Frequently get my lunch from here as they have a fantastic sandwich selection that changes daily, as well as regular options such as burgers, bagels, pasties and sausage rolls. The coffee is great and the cakes are ridiculously good.
On top of the grab-and-go options, they also sell frozen pizzas, vegan sweets and snacks, and their own locally-made tofu products, all for very reasonable prices that are much lower than the supermarket options (AND even comes in biodegradable packaging!)
The staff are wonderful and are always happy to help customers just starting to try vegan as well as experienced vegans looking for something new.

Amazing cake

Whenever I am in Norwich, I grab some cake from Tofurei. It is always delicious and does not disappoint!

Cons: None

Good basics

I tried a breakfast bagel, sausage roll and cake. I get tofu is there thing but a tofu sausage roll is maybe not the best idea but it was pleasant enough is lacking in taste and texture. The bagel was thoroughly enjoyable as was the cake. They are simple but done well.

The staff seemed really friendly. The prices are reasonable.

The only reason this isn’t five star for me is the food isn’t stand out, you wouldn’t tell your friends they need to try it. But it’s simple food done nicely, not every meal needs to be stand out.

Best cake and more

We visited today and found it as good as promised. I had a vegan bacon and scrambled egg sandwich, which was tasty and fresh. I took home some cake and ate two pieces in one sitting because it really was so lovely and moist and not overly sweet. Wish I had the recipe as I struggle to make such good sponge at home. I would definitely recommend making the effort to find this place. It also has seating outside - useful if you have dogs, and the staff were very friendly.

Pros: Wonderful cake and baked goods , Interesting, fresh tasty sandwiches , Dog friendly

Cons: Quite small - although they pack in a wide range

The best thing in my life

I honestly go to this cafe every Saturday and have never had a less than 10/10 experience. Staff are lovely, there’s always lots of cake and savoury foods. Plus they make their own soya milk and tofu which is amazing! They sell all my fave vegan food products and have a meal deal at lunch. Dog friendly too and has an outdoor seating area.

Pros: Cake is delicious, Many drinks options, Lots of pastries made in the cafe.

Cozy little cafe

This is one of my favourite place in Norwich for desserts. It's not expensive and is tasty. The cheeseburger was good, not great but the Hawaiin Pizza tasted and smelled very bad.
I kept coming to this place 4 days back to back only for desserts.

Pros: Inexpensive, Delicious desserts

Cons: Stale food

As vegans, we don't get to have ice-creams much. Nice to taste the ice-cream here!

My happy place

Tofurei is like a utopian paradise, its what I hope the future is like. Everything is vegan and a delicious and you are guaranteed a warm welcome and usually a chat.

The soysage rolls are a staple, the tofu is perfect (and you are able to take your own containers to save packaging and prevent squashing it in your pannier), the cakes are wonderful, the coffee lovely and I day dream about the ham and cheese croissants.

Everyone should go here, its marvellous.

We would return!

We got the snickers cake, it was absolutely delicious. And only £2. All the sausage rolls looked good and I plan to purchase them next time. Yum!

Lovely business

I had come across Tofurei's food many times before visiting the cafe itself. I have eaten their cakes and sausage rolls at a vegan Christmas fayre in Norwich and regularly buy them at UEA. Always a delight and a treat after a hard day of studying!
The cafe has a lovely atmosphere - very welcoming and peaceful (although we were not there at peak time!). The staff are charming and helpful. An exciting selection of teas is available in the cafe. I will visit again!

Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent variety, Excellent quality

BEST VEGAN CAKES EVER!!!!

Relaxed friendly atmosphere. The moistest, tastiest cake I’ve had in ages. Had to nip back in before leaving Norwich to get some to take away.

Great lunch

We popped in for some lunch and loved the value of the meal deal. I had the Cumberland sausage bap while my Husband had the cheeseburger, both were really tasty, we'll definitely be back when we're next in Norwich
