Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the coffee, singling out a smooth, creamy flat white and an outstanding cortado, with the chai, green tea and nutty banana cake also named. The welcoming staff come up repeatedly, and diners describe a lovely interior. One reviewer found parking difficult, and another noted the sandwich selection is small. One mentions staff fetching hot water for a new parent.

“We discovered Mr Cavendish the other week and absolutely love it! It’s in a great location, the decor is lovely, the coffee is fantastic & the chai is amazing - but mostly, it’s the wonderful team that keeps us coming back. The ladies are always so welcoming whenever we visit and make such a fuss of our newborn, which we really appreciate. They even helped us out with some hot water yesterday after we realised we’d left part of our milk-heating adapter at home (new novice parents over here! 😂). I genuinely love coming here. It’s always lovely to see the place busy and thriving, but even when it is, we never feel rushed to finish our drinks and leave. It has such a warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay. Couldn’t recommend Mr Cavendish enough - 10/10! ☕️🤎”

“Nutty bana cake and green tea, served with a lovely smile. What is not to like.”

“Absolutely perfect. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. Coffee is so fresh and the cakes are wonderful. Nothing less than 5 stars. If you visit Chelmsford come here. It's wonderful. And ladies if you want you can get you hair done afterwards. Or a haircut and coffee. Your choice. Brilliant coffee house. Love it.”
