This coffee shop is excellent. The customer service was superb. We were a big group of 12 and the lady serving accommodated us and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you.

I came in around midday 29/09/2025, everything was absolutely incredible. I'm lactose intolerant and ordered with no issue at all. The lady at the front was knowledgeable, efficient and so friendly! I queried about the ownership as I have never known them to do Indian food, the owners changed around a month ago. I was delighted to see that they did Indian breakfasts, but for those curious, they also offer traditional breakfasts too. I had the Keema Eggs and it was wonderful - great portion size, tasty and well presented. This place is an asset to the village, offering traditional cafe staples as well as something a little bit different. Safe to say being a minute walk from me I will absolutely be back to order "just a coffee" and leave after breakfast again Thank you for the lovely experience

Five stars across the board for the Vault's Indian food, it is the best I've ever had in the UK. The portions were good and the flavours were even better. Such a fantastic asset to Acle! We've also been to the vault during the day for cakes and those too are amazing, a must go to for anyone wanting to have amazing food x

We stopped by chance for a quick cup of tea after a long walk, but wished we could have stayed longer! A bright and cheerful little cafe with lots of the menu, which all looked good. Lovely staff clearly working really hard. It's open until 6 on a Saturday which is handy.

What a lovely place! Met a friend here for brunch - I had the Vault breakfast and my friend had an Indian breakfast of omelette and spicy beans and a couple of coffees each. Food was excellent, the cafe clean and beautifully decorated, and the two staff or owners were friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back!
