A good story always starts with cake…
I’m Tina, General Manager of the Courtyard Café.
Five years ago, I fell in love with the feeling of a courtyard off Elm Hill in Norwich. It was the dated little tea house that stood there at the time that captured my heart. I found myself dreaming of one day creating a similar space. A place where people could escape, relax, and savour the simple joy of a cup of tea (and of course cake).
Over the years, I often found myself wandering by, peeking around the corner to see what was happening, wondering what could be next for that little place that held my attention. I went about life, however my mind always drifted back to that spot, filled with “what ifs and maybes” imagining a future that seemed almost too perfect to be real.

Then, one message later, and everything fell into place as though it were meant to be. That very spot, the one where I first felt that magical, welcoming atmosphere, became my home of The Courtyard Café. Today, I am living that dream, creating for others the same incredible feeling I first experienced when I stepped through the archway and discovered a world of warmth, comfort, and something a little bit special.
And I couldn’t do this without my wonderful team (left) –
