Soupear

Super fresh foods, beautifully presented. Excellent service. And THE best matcha mille crepe cake ever! (there’s a cake alternative, if matcha isn’t your thing).

Really enjoyed lunch here. The soup was thick and creamy and came with a delicious brioche roll with melted garlic butter. Beautifully presented and really tasty. We tried both the potato and tarragon and the butternut squash and coconut soup. The staff were really friendly and helpful and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again.

The caramelized Carrot and Parsinp soup was delicious. Also, their Americano was perfect. Lovely staff and very welcoming. I will definitely come back to try their Sourdough Tartine.

Tried tomato cheesy soup and it’s really taste the tomato, so goood!! Amazing brioche, very soft. Friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere.

Outstanding brunch at Soupear today. We loved the tartine with avocado, guac, and poached eggs, and the matcha mille crepe. We also had iced matcha latte and cappuccino for drinks. The owners were lovely and accommodating as well. I will definitely be back for the tomato soup that quickly sold out! I highly recommend.

This was my third time here and I was pleased to see some improvement - there's a smaller option for the soup and the menu has somewhat expanded. They use local produce and update some of their dishes monthly. Follow their IG for updates!We tried a new soup, Cream of Potato & Tarragon, which was very creamy, a bit too heavy for our liking and you couldn't really taste the potato (no texture either); we couldn't finish it between us. The brioche roll compliments well with the soups and there are 3 options to choose from. Even though the soups are not quite to our liking, I would highly recommend the mushroom & scrambled egg sourdough tartine and grilled squash & charred corn salad - very nice/flavoursome and all the food were well presented. The truffle mayo on the tartine is always fragrant, and the salad was light and sweet.It's only a small place so there's about 3-4 tables (I think), quiet and relaxing. The interior decor is simple, yet tranquil. I like how the thoughtful owners have a charging port for customers to use, but if wifi was provided then even better! Great for book worms though. Service is friendly and welcoming, very attentive.We bought cakes to takeaway as I wanted to try their cheesecake but we were too full at the time. Both nicely presented, although my photo doesn't quite justify it as it had been in the car for a few hours. Orange blossom oolong cheesecake - The orange blossom tasted like orange marmalade and I couldn't really taste the oolong; a little disappointing. I would recommend the mille crepe cakes more, even though I do find the crepe layers a little thick for my liking. I've tried the matcha flavour one before too, both flavours are so so.Overall, I would still recommend this little cafe, definitely worth a try! Very genuine owners and you can see a lot of effort into this place.

This cafe is such a fresh breath of air! There is nowhere else like it in Norwich.The food is very fresh and beautifully presented. The focus is soup but they also have tartines, Mille crepe, coffees, and tea lattes (yaaaas matcha). I have dreams about the squash and corn salad- simple yet delicious. The service is also wonderful- exceedingly polite and attentive. There is always classical music playing and it's very relaxed. I love coming in here on my own- I leave feeling nourished and relaxed. Treat yourself and enjoy this special place.

November 2023 Update: I have found the mille-crepe cakes absolutely improved. The consistency and the texture was improved and I am glad to also update the info with the lates photos.September 2023: I have only tried their matcha mille-crepes cake so far. I was quite excited about finding a matcha mille-crepes cake in Norwich but this one I was served was either on the shelf for a bit long or not done properly as the crepes were too thick and chewy yet the creme between the layers were too thin and too dry. There were also cracks on the side which often means for this particular type of cake might not be fresh enough. I am uploading a picture of how dry it looked after one fork. The texture was also dry but the flavour was proper. The crepes' thickness might have also caused this. The service however was adorably sweet and friendly. - response to the response note below: we did consume it in less than 10 minutes after purchasing so I highly doubt take away was the issue. [Based on your swift response, I trust you will find and address the underlying issue soon. I suspect the crepe layers need to be improved]

Not the first time to this lovely place in downtown Norwich. Ordered the butternut soup and scrambled egg tartine. No disappointment. Plan my next visit.Though I am not a vegetarian, I am glad to learn from the Chef that no meat/broth is used in their soups. Flavours and tastes are entirely from the vegetable ingredients. Fabulous.
