Came here for a light lunch with family. Very nice and clean atmosphere inside with pleasant decor. I, with an egg allergy often feel unwelcome in restaurants, and find it difficult to relax and enjoy meals out, but here, no request was too much trouble. The staff were kind and patient, with the chef even coming out of the kitchen to reassure me, and check on details of all of our meals. I've never felt so welcome and at ease in a café and the extra efforts of the owners of The Spontaneous Cuppa really made a difference. I ordered a baked potato, with cheese and chives: the side salad was delicious, as was the potato, and the rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. Feeling included in meals like this is important, especially for those of us who have allergies and dietary requirements. I can thoroughly recommend The Spontaneous Cuppa to anyone looking for a tasty lunch, especially to those with extra dietary requirements.

Sadly I cannot write a true reflection of this cafe and the food it has to offer but I would like to share my disappointment. We chose to go into this cafe today as it was extremely empty (one man eating a jacket potato inside) where the rude man behind the counter said to us we can’t accommodate for your number. There were 6 adults and 3 babies in pushchairs to be exact. All of our prams fold down small but with that welcome and practically being told to leave we did. I have never ever been turned away from an empty cafe before especially as a feeding mother whose baby needed to be fed. We found a lovely cafe around the front in a much smaller venue who were extremely accommodating.

Popped in for tasty gluten free cake to take out. Greeted by bright,cheerful staff. Took great care asking if I required a serviette. Cafe had great variety of gluten free dishes. Great experience.

What a great cafe. Lovely welcome from Ann and Adrian. Excellent coffee and lunch. The cafe is spotless and a good selection of food on the menu board.

An outstanding experience courtesy of Anne and Adrian, who have created a gem of a café on the Norfolk coast. The food is delicious, varied café fare that will tempt GD/DF and general diners alike. And the peace of mind that a fully CoeliacUK-accredited venue offers is all too rare, especially for an independent eaterie given the stringent requirements. Anne was very kind to share the name of local gf suppliers and some recipe ideas with our coeliac tween, who came away inspired to try a couple of variations on her trusted banana bread.

As someone with coeliac disease who has to be very careful where I eat, I was delighted to hear about this cafe. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! I will definitely be visiting again.

Found by chance, well what a great find. It is spotless, the food is wonderful and the decor is so relaxing. You could sit for ages chattering and drinking coffee. We have tried many in Hunstanton but I now think we have our go to.

My guesthouse in Hunstanton did not serve porridge for breakfast. I ate a few Weetabix instead for breakfast. By the time we set off in the morning to start our day I began to feel hungry again. I decided to try the local cafes in Hunstanton for porridge. The first two I tried were unsuccessful I then stumbled across The Spontaneous Cuppa I asked did they serve porridge and Adrian went and asked Anna if she could serve porridge ? She asked me if wanted it cooked the Scottish way with a pinch of salt ? Cinnamon or nutmeg ? Sugar or Stevia ? It was lovely. We also had nice coffees and had takeaway cake. I enjoyed the porridge and top class customer service so much that I returned the next day before departing Hunstanton for more porridge, coffee etc This cafe is spotless with healthy food and great customer service - what a find 👍

Beautiful cafe on Hunstanton High Street. Completely refurbished to a very high standard providing a fresh, clean and modern place to eat and drink. The owners were very attentive and helpful providing hot and cold meals along with cakes tea and coffee. I will definitely be visiting regularly.

We sought out The Spontaneous Cuppa during our day out to the coast, as it had great reviews for gluten free food and was Coeliac UK accredited. We weren't dissapointed. The food was delicious and it was enjoyable to have the full menu to choose from. We didn't want to leave without trying everything and ended up buying extra cakes and sausage rolls to take back home with us. The owners were absoloutely lovely, chatty people. If you're deciding where to eat, we'd wholeheartedly recommend a visit. I'm sure if we were locals this would become a favourite eatery, and if they released a "Spontaneous Cuppa" gf recipe book we'd definitely buy it! Dietary restrictions: Coeliac UK accredited and everything is gluten free. I think they're 100% dairy free as well.

The Spontaneous Cuppa is without a doubt one of Norfolk's best gems! As a local to Hunstanton I have found a place that gets the balance of reasonable pricing, accommodating service and excellent food hard to come by; the Spontaneous Cuppa has got everything perfect, and I can honestly say that this is the friendliest and most enjoyable eatery that I have ever been to, not just in Hunstanton but all of Norfolk. Ann and Adrian do an outstanding job in accommodating for all dietary requirements, all the food is gluten free and there are plenty of options available for vegetarians, vegans and for those who are lactose intolerant - the food is second to none, I highly recommend the loaded potatoes and the trillionaires tart, all made by Ann and simply delicious! The menu is also updated daily to accommodate all dietary needs, all very fresh, and I can't get over how reasonably priced everything is! The building itself has a beautifully decorated art deco interior, I have found upon my visits that it is always immaculately clean and it is clear that all the staff have a very high regard for hygiene. Ann and Adrian are the friendliest and most accommodating people you could ever meet, you are guaranteed a warm and attentive welcome! Would highly recommend to anyone, and would encourage anyone passing to call in and give it a try!

Great friendly service, very good americano coffee and cappuccino. They are proving Gluten Free, Diary Free and Vegan foods which we didn’t try as we only stopped for a coffee. We have been here several times as the coffee is excellent and the service is so friendly,

So great to find a 100% gluten-free menu (plus many dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options too). My husband chose Tandoori chicken:2 succulent pieces of chicken with new potatoes, salad and home-made raita. I had stuffed portobello mushrooms with new pots, salad and the raita. Both meals were absolutely delicious and an indulgent Billionnaire's shortbread rounded it off beautifully. The owners were really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We'd certainly recommend this cafe and will return very soon.

A friend and I went out for lunch today and happened upon The Spontaneous Cuppa. It wasn’t until we were sat down inside that we realized it was a GF, lactose free, other stuff free kind of establishment. We decided to have a coffee and leave for lunch elsewhere. However, we ordered two flat whites. To our surprise they were really good flavorful coffees, I don’t care what kind of milk. A couple next to us were eating some yummy looking noodles and we decided to stay for lunch based on their comment to the owner about how good their food was. All I can say is…..the food was fabulous!! I had chicken stir fry and my friend had salmon salad. The food was fresh, home made and delicious. Don’t be put off by the GF lactose free whatever, the food is far from flavorless and as far as I’m concerned they can can leave out whatever they like. I’ll be going back for more for sure. Lovely friendly couple, great service, lovely little cafe. A great addition to Hunstanton. 😋😋😋

This is a 100% gluten free cafe which is a godsend if you are a Coeliac. It opened in March in the High Street in Hunstanton. There are a choice of freshly made dishes each day - a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, soup, Salad, sandwich and jacket potatoes. Their menu is influenced by world cuisine and it changes each day which is great if you are staying in Hunstanton for a few days. It had a very good ambience and was quite busy when we were in there - that’s always a good sign of a good restaurant. The owner Adrian was very welcoming to all the customers and made you feel very comfortable. My husband and I had Chicken stir fry with rice noodles and it was delicious. I thoroughly recommend eating here and my only regret is we didn’t find it at the beginning of our holiday as we would have eaten in there every day.

We booked for the New Year's Eve buffet (a party of 4) to celebrate my birthday. Before booking and paying the total bill in advance, I checked that there would be vegetarian choices and that we could bring our 2 well behaved dogs with us. I was also told that we could bring our own bottle of wine. I asked if we could have a corner table so that we could be out of the way with the dogs. When we arrived at 1.55pm for the 2pm sitting the 'Closed' sign was on the door. After a couple of minutes we opened the door and asked if we may come in and the reply was an abrupt "Have you booked?" No hello any or other welcome. We stood waiting to be shown to our table then overheard a staff member saying to another customer "Sit where you like". We chose a table in the corner which had 5 chairs around it, at which point a staff member said "We are fully booked so if you sit there you will have 2 other people sitting with you. (Strange as there were only 5 chairs). I then asked her where we should sit and was told on a table for 4. As we were about to sit at a table for 4 we were told that we couldn't sit there as they were expecting a party of 10 and the lady proceeded to push the table we were going to sit at, up against another table. I find it incredible that there was a booking for a party of 10, yet no table had been prepared for them. We then sat at the only other table for 4, which was very close to the buffet table, and not really ideal. A lady offered us drinks but we said that we had a bottle of wine and 4 glasses were brought to the table. By 2.10pm nothing had been said, so one of our party asked if we could help ourselves to food and were told "Yes". None of the plates were labelled "V" so it was impossible to tell what was vegetarian, and I had to ask. I was appalled to discover that the vegetarian items were on the same plates mixed up with meat and fish items. This really is unacceptable and makes me wonder about the standards applied in the kitchen regards to cross contamintion of utensils and preparation surfaces. The vegetarian quiche was on the same plate and touching quiche containing bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches had ham ones piled on top of them, and egg vol-u-vents were on the same plate as fish ones. People were using the same tongs to pick up meat and then cheese. Our table was so close to the buffet table that at one point we actually had a ladies bottom resting on our table. As I was eating a piece of quiche my friend stopped me to point out that there was a hair in it. She took the piece of quiche to a member of staff who actually laughed and took it from her. There was no apology whatsoever. Although fully booked, the table for 5 where we wanted to sit remained unoccupied, as did another table by the window which would have been far more comfortable for us. As there was no table service, and the food was already prepared the staff were sitting/standing around. Yet, there was no interaction at all. No-one came to the table to ask if everything was ok, no Happy New Year, no friendly chat whatsoever. It gave the impression that as they had received their money up front that was their job done. I can honestly say I have never felt so unwelcome in a local tea room before. The previous owners always had a smile and a warm welcome. I believe it is fair to give the management the opportunity to respond, so I sent a private message to Petals to express my disappointment. Unfortunately I did not receive the courtesy of an acknowledgment or reply. Needless to say I would not return, but hope that my comments regarding cross contamination will be taken note of for the sake of other vegetarian/vegan customers.

We were recommended here by our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. Headline: Food was amazing. We had ‘Mega breakfasts’ which were very generous and the hand made sausages were sublime. Price point was spot on for a beach café. It was absolutely heaving when we visited, the secret is out! But we just about managed to find a table and enjoy our wonderful meals. 4* because it is possibly TOO dog friendly. One table of four was taken up by a lady with two dogs (who had a chair each) as well as a buggy for the dogs. The lady didn’t have an order (only the dogs) but this party left a family eating off plates while standing up. Also the Wi-Fi was out of service,
