Customer Review Summary
Coffee is what reviewers raise most, described as smooth and barista style with a subtle burnt flavour, and even the middling ratings credit it as great or delicious. Breakfast and brunch come next, with one diner praising the steak stack and a full english where the sausage stood out. Another found the eggs benedict's single slice of sourdough too hard to get through beneath the poached eggs. A few call the food okay but fairly average next to the coffee. Staff are often described as friendly, lovely and efficient, and the swing seats at the front strike one group as fun. Complaints centre on service and upkeep. One reviewer says the waitress seemed disinterested and left a coffee club deal off the bill. That same reviewer found a charge for soy milk that was never requested and was not in either coffee. Another reports a hard chair, a cold room, stained cups and inexperienced staff on a return visit.

“Nice café with good coffee, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff. It’s a great place to sit and enjoy a drink or catch up with friends. The food was okay but fairly average compared with the quality of the coffee and overall experience.”

“The place to eat in Chelmsford for breakfast or brunch. My rule for a full english breakfast is the sausage rules and if tasty the breakfast is good. The breakfast here is great and today I tried the steak stack, delicious. Staff are friendly and efficient and a great location for a good shopping day”

“This is by far the best atmos and coffee I have ever found and I’ve had so many coffees in various places in the UK and overseas! The coffee is smooth, barista style with that subtle burnt flavour! Harvey makes the best ever barista and is a welcome face to be greeted. Thanks to all the staff.”

“Such a cute place! The swing seats at the front are really fun, but we had a bigger group so didn’t use them. Food looks great, prices are fair, and drinks are nice. A good choice for a weekend breakfast.”
