I've had so many disappointing, watery coffees in Great Yarmouth, some at extortionate prices. Decided to try this pretty little cafe, in Market Rows, this morning. At last! - good, hot, mellow yet strong, filter coffee, at a great price. Pleasant service & tempting display of freshly made cakes etc. I shall succumb, next time....

Extremely helpful, great service and a wonderful cake made with very little notice ( totally my fault ) for my wife's birthday ... Please use Mark's Pantry , they deserve your custom and local people need to support businesses like this ...

My daughter and I popped in for lunch, I had butternut and parsnip soup which was amazing she had chicken jacket potato and salad. Price was very reasonable. All the cakes looked delicious too. Will definitely return.
