New Coffee Shop Attic Brew Brings Fresh Flavour to Norwich's Independent Scene

As a hospitality specialist spending countless hours meeting candidates in Norwich's coffee shops, I'm always excited when a new coffee shop opens its doors. Today, I'm sharing my discovery of Attic Brew, an innovative concept that's already creating quite a buzz in our city centre.

Why This New Coffee Shop is Different from Other Norwich Cafés

In my many years of working in Norwich, I've witnessed the evolution of our city's coffee culture. What sets Attic Brew apart is its unique dual-concept approach - combining expertly crafted coffee with professional barbering services. As someone who regularly conducts informal interviews over coffee, I appreciate venues that offer something special.

The Coffee Experience at Norwich's Latest Independent Coffee Shop

Walking into Attic Brew, I was immediately struck by the warm aroma of freshly roasted coffee. The space expertly balances industrial-style lighting with wooden accents, creating an atmosphere that's perfect for both casual meetings and focused work sessions.

Natalie, the owner and head barista, brings genuine passion to every cup. I've visited countless coffee shops across Norwich for candidate meetings, and her attention to detail stands out. The vanilla latte I ordered was expertly crafted - smooth and perfectly balanced, complemented by a beautifully flaky croissant.

Beyond Just Another Coffee Shop Near Me: The Community Hub

What particularly interests me as a hospitality specialist is how Attic Brew functions as a community space. The layout encourages natural networking - something I've found invaluable for candidates and clients alike. The ground floor offers various seating arrangements perfect for different types of meetings, from quick catch-ups to longer discussions.

Perfect for Early Birds: A Coffee Shop Open from 7am in Norwich

As someone who regularly meets candidates before they head to their current jobs, I'm thrilled to have discovered a coffee shop that truly caters to early risers. Opening at 7am, Attic Brew offers a convenient spot for those crucial pre-work meetings.

For Norwich's commuters, this timing is perfect - whether you're heading to the train station or making your way to the office, you can grab a properly crafted coffee without rushing. I've found this especially valuable when meeting candidates who can only chat before their workday begins. You'll find the same expertly prepared beverages and freshly baked pastries that they serve throughout the day, even as the rest of the city is still waking up.

In my experience coordinating with busy professionals, having a reliable coffee spot open this early in Norwich city centre is an absolute game-changer.

Perfect Location and Accessibility

Situated in Norwich city centre, Attic Brew offers excellent accessibility for business meetings. I've found parking available nearby, and it's well-served by public transport - crucial factors when arranging candidate meetings.

What Makes This New Coffee Shop Stand Out in Norwich's Café Lineup

In my experience meeting candidates across Norwich's many coffee establishments, these features make Attic Brew particularly noteworthy:

  • Professional barista-made coffee using specialty beans

  • Comfortable, well-designed space perfect for meetings

  • Extended opening hours from 7am

  • Unique barbering services upstairs

  • Strong community focus

The Verdict: A Welcome Addition to Norwich's Independent Coffee Scene

Having spent years meeting candidates in various venues across Norwich, I can confidently say Attic Brew fills a unique niche in our city's coffee landscape. It's more than just a new coffee shop - it's a space where community, quality, and creativity converge.

Whether you're looking for your morning coffee fix, a comfortable spot for a business meeting, or simply want to experience one of Norwich's newest independent establishments, Attic Brew delivers on all fronts.
