Quick info
About Butterfly Café
Butterfly Café operates as a breakfast restaurant, coffee shop, and cafe on King Street in Norwich, with a kitchen that cooks to order rather than holding food under heat lamps. Coffee and cake draw a steady stream of regulars, who sit alongside first-time visitors at the counter. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes the room a natural stop on a walk through the centre of Norwich. Service runs through the day, and the team keeps customers posted on delays rather than leaving them guessing at the table. Opening hours run in a daily pattern that makes it equally suited to an early breakfast or a mid-afternoon coffee.
