Platform One Cafe

Cosy little coffee shop whilst you wait for a train

I absolutely love this charming little cafe at Downham Market Station. They serve delicious coffee and hot sausage rolls, as well as lovely bacon sausage babs. It's the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast with your morning paper. Susan Millie, who always greets you with a smile, provides excellent service every day. I can't imagine starting my mornings without this place.

While the menu may not be as extensive as before, the option of a bacon or sausage bap, coffee, and a newspaper still remains. What else could you ask for? This restaurant deserves all the support it can get.

I recently visited this cafe in a bit of a crisis when I had boarded the train from Kings Lynn to London, and had to get off early, realising that I had left my phone in my parents car before boarding the train with my one year old cat. I was really panicking as I wasn’t in a position to comprehend going back to my home in London with a kitten, a case, and no phone. The two ladies there were beyond helpful. They let me borrow their work phone to make contact with my mum to arrange my phone to be dropped off, when this failed, one of the ladies let me use her personal phone to contact my dad via Facebook. I was then reunited with my phone, and will never forget their kindness. They even watched my cat for me when I went to the bathroom. The cafe is also super cosy and has a very welcoming feel!

A great place to get a coffee ,sausage baps staff very friendly, polite ,helpful and kind. The waiting area was full but a staff member was there before they started work so they offered us the seat they was at which was very kind of them.they even helped with getting our drinks .also helped us with our luggage to get on the platform ready to board our train for our onward journey .
