A duo has transformed a community cafe into their own business.
Take Five cafe has opened inside Number Eight Marketplace in Diss, a space that has welcomed several independent traders since it launched in August.
Hannah Sidgwick and Caitlin Seale, who met during their studies at Norwich University of the Arts, recently launched the new venture after taking over the cafe from Diss Community Team.
Ms Sidgwick said: "They needed someone to take it on and we decided to give it a go.
"We're still finding our feet but it's been going really well, we've got a lot of regular customers."
The pair also run Take Two Preloved Boutique at the marketplace which sells second-hand branded clothing and accessories.

They have decked out Take Five with new furniture and are in the process of putting their own branding in place around the marketplace.
The cafe serves cookies and hot drinks including festive favourites like gingerbread lattes and locally made hot chocolate.
Ms Sidgwick added: "The building contains so many small businesses and visitors get the chance to meet the people behind them.
"It's really nice to see small businesses succeeding here."
