Quick info
About Reeds Cafe
Reeds Cafe sits inside Reeds Homestore in Downham Market, on Nelson House, and takes walk-ins rather than bookings. The menu runs from beef stroganoff to chocolate cake and shortbread, alongside cappuccino and hot chocolate, across a five-dish lineup. Dogs are welcome and given their own seating area away from the main room, complete with a treats jar, a water bowl, and dog beds so they are off the floor. A step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, and food can be ordered for takeaway as well as eating in. The cafe opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. It is located within the wider Reeds Homestore building on Nelson House.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is more scattered. One reviewer found the coffee cake dry and stale and was served strong breakfast tea instead of the Darjeeling ordered. Another says the jacket potato with prawns disappointed, with tiny prawns that seemed to come from a tin or jar, and feels the place has gone downhill. A third finds the coffee ok(ish), the cups smaller than elsewhere, and notes a smell of cooked fat in the restaurant area. One diner describes a lovely coffee and cake served by friendly staff.

Dogs have a jar of biscuits ready for them on the table, fresh water bowl delivered to your dog AND they provide a dog bed so they aren’t sitting on the floor!!!!! lol 5 stars from MollyDog also xxxxxxxx”

“This place has gone downhill. Ate here earlier in Summer and had Jackets potatoes with prawns but it wasnt as expected. The prawns tiny and it seemed like they were from a tin or jar of a pre made mixture. …”

“Popped into Reeds Cafe and we ordered a Black coffee and Darjeeling, a speciality tea which I drink at home all the time too, with a cheese scone and a slice of coffee cake. The coffee arrived nicely hot but the tea was NOT Darjeeling but strong breakfast tea...Ugh The scone was quite light and nice, however the coffee cake was very dry and had obviosly been there some time (stale)... So disappointed that I will not be rushing back.”
