Quick info
About Waterhouse CAFFÈ
Waterhouse CAFFÈ is an Italian caffe and coffee shop in Chelmsford, set inside the Waterhouse Business Centre at Unit 12A on a business park. Coffee is the starting point, with cakes and pastries served alongside it, and the menu stretches from there to a full English breakfast. The breakfast plate can be ordered with extra sausage and beans, so the kitchen covers a cooked meal as well as a quick coffee and cake. Plant-based milk choices are available for coffee orders, which means the drinks side of the menu also covers dairy-free requests.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the breakfast, with the full breakfast with extra sausage and beans singled out, and a salt beef sandwich with mature cheddar and mustard pickled dill on toasted ciabatta that one reviewer loves. Coffee comes close behind, with the espresso called excellent and the coffee described as brilliant and lovely. Fresh pastries, a slice of cake and a BLT sandwich also get mentions, and one family enjoyed a special Italian hot chocolate. Several describe friendly, lovely staff, including a barista who chats without being intrusive and a team that catered to dietary requirements with plenty of plant based milk choices. Diners mention a relaxing atmosphere, good wi-fi for working, and a lovely breakfast sat outside in the sunshine, with one calling the food great value. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer sums up the meal by asking what more could you want.
