  “We come to walsingham yearly and sometimes more often. We always stop at read and digest and it never fails to impress. The food is all home made and includes vegan and gluten free. We wouldn’t eat anywhere else in walsingham”

  “The food was absolutely incredible!! I might have had the moistest, most delicious cake of my life here. Every cake is handmade by the owner herself, and it shows in every bite. Paired with an amazing drink, the entire experience was unforgettable.”

  “Visited this lovely little tearoom as we waited for our return journey on the light railway. We had the house tea-for-two, two sausage rolls (mustard, & apple), and two scones (plain, & lavender) - all of the above being fantastic. The owners were so kind & welcoming. All their baked goods are made in-house every morning. The result is incredible food, and an excellent range of food-options to choose from. Highly recommend if you‘re visiting via the light railway, passing through on bike, or otherwise. 5 stars.”

  “What a lovely idea, coffee, cake and lots of books to read, ideal for creating a lovely atmosphere but also ideal for the solo traveller. The tea was great and the tea bread lovely, although the Earl Grey tasted weird. A lovely place in a lovely village”

  “Came here after walking round Walsingham Abbey with our little dog and it was such a pleasant surprise!! The cafe is quaint and unique. We were lead upstairs to some tables and chairs and there was a sofa too, and bookshelves along the walls of all different genres. The atmosphere was so homely and welcoming, and everyone was really friendly and cheerful. We loved the china teapots and saucers that our delicious English breakfast tea came with!! My mum had a crumble with homemade custard and said it was amazing - I tried the custard and it had cinnamon and nutmeg in... Absolutely incredible flavour!! I had gluten free teacake and butter and it was such a wonderful surprise to have this option. It tasted lovely. There were also gluten free crumpets on offer and a whole range of different homemade soups. The food was quickly served after ordering, and they also brought some dog treats for our dog which was so sweet! Thank you to the ladies who were cooking and serving the food - they were all incredibly friendly and smiley, and really made our day. Will 100% be back again to try some more of their homemade food. Can't recommend highly enough!”

  “What an exceptional find! The small town is lively and this little cafe is just tremendous. The tea and coffee is reasonably prices, with an excellent cappuccino. We had a lemon scone with lemon curd and it was delicious. Sat outside watching the world go by, is so relaxing. Loved the place, the staff, the food and the vibe.”
