We visited here one Sat morning for a coffee and a bite to eat. When we walked through the door we soon realised the concept of the venue? Reading the notice board. We also realised service would not be the best. View all feedback.

Sam's Coffee Shop in Lowestoft offers more than just a quick bite to eat - it is a social enterprise project aiming to support young volunteers gain skills and confidence for future employment. The coffee is top-notch, the food is fresh, and the prices are competitive. While service might be a bit slow, knowing the purpose behind the project makes it all worth it. With options like celeriac soup, all-day breakfast, and waffles, Sam's is a budget-friendly spot with a comfortable atmosphere and free Wi-Fi. It's a wonderful community hub worth visiting to support a great cause.
