Bread Source - The Refectory

Another Bread Source bakery situated in the grounds of Norwich cathedral. Set within a fabulous location, relaxed atmosphere in a modern, light and airy building situated on the first floor. As you would expect, the normal delicious fayre on offer as always. Friendly staff, exceptionally clean, some outside tables and an elevator provided for wheelchair users. Eat in or takeaway, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.

The Refectory Cafe is connected to The Norwich Cathedral. There is a large area which can seat large numbers of people. The area is kept very clean and the staff are very friendly. The service also is fast. The food is delicious, specially all the different types of cakes and pastries. A lovely place to relax after walking around the Cathedral.

Excellent artisan bakery with plenty of tables for eating in. Perfect for lunch, coffee and afternoon tea. Background music was very slightly intrusive, but otherwise this is a beautiful refectory in a stunning location. The ancient cathedral library next door is also worth a peek.

We went here for coffee and pastries. What a fabulous place! Not only were the pastries and coffee excellent, the modern building is stunning. Get there early for the best choice of fresh pastries.

It is a really good experience to come to the refectory, it caused a very good impression.Lots of natural light, plenty of space and I lost count of the amount of staff working happy together.Good atmosphere with young and old people.Lovely coffee with alternative milk with an extra charge and vegan cakes apart of a really good variety of other cakes and sandwiches.The prices are the same as in other places but two cappuccinos with a shared cake it cost 10 and a bit.

We Visited the Refectory on Saturday 4th May 2024, about 10:50am, prior to looking around Norwich Cathedral. The Refectory is part of the Cathedral, some stairs up, but there is full disabled access.Bright, light, welcoming, lovely staff, all food baked right here, lovely filled rolls, we tried ham and cheese, and pastrami, and cheese and onion quiche, they sell a varied selection of quiches, sausage rolls, savoury and great pastries, cakes and scones, great coffee, and had two more they were so nice! lovely staff, and based on our positive experience, we will be visiting again before we go home on Monday to buy some breakfast and cheeses to take back!Highly recommended.

The Refectory is a modern building in an iconic setting which doesn't detract from the grandeur of the Cathedral. The atmosphere is busy, but relaxed and a must when visiting the Cathedral Close.

I visited The Refectory for a meal after exploring the beautiful cathedral. My experience was fantastic: smiling staff, quiet & clean surrounding and wonderful food. I ordered the aromatic duck salad and some walnut & carrot cake and coffee. I left happy! Thank you so much. I will be back when in Norwich!
