  “Nice location, perfect staff and service! Live music sets the mood when having drinks and food on the outside terrace in the sun.”

  “I don’t know anything about the food or drink but me and a few friends went to sit on the seats outside, a man comes over passive aggressively and bring menus over. One of my friends has McDonald and gets told to put it away, he did so and apologised for having it out. My other friend then spills her bottled water down her legs and asks if they had any tissues she could have the “waiter” replies “no.” bluntly, we decided to leave after this because of how unwelcome we felt and the “there’s a big bench over there for you” (suggesting me leave) comment. If you’re going to work at a cafe please learn some customer service skills, we were all happy to buy something and we’re okay to leave if he asked politely but I found no need for the rude service.”

  “Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning during a stay in Southend. The staff were really friendly, the service was quick and the food was delicious. I had an English breakfast and they allowed me to swap the toast for fried bread (a personal guilty pleasure).”

  “I only had a coffee and can’t rate the food. Everybody smokes on the space outside (no separation). My cup was wiped with the cleaning cloth and when I asked to change my cup, I didn't get an apology or a smile. My advice to this business is to hire a professional waiter! A shame, great location.”

  “The best English breakfast in Southend-on-Sea. Great location: terrace in front of Warrior Square garden and 2 steps away from the high street. The food is amazing. It's a English family run business. They're very friendly and it's great value for money. I eat there often, and love it!”

  “Travelled from Donny to work in the area for four days. It's been years since I've had cooled breakfasts like this for a great price. Amazing food, great drinks and very friendly staff. Shame I live 3 hours away as I would eat here more often. Hopefully I'll see them again!”

  “Had an afternoon brunch with my girlfriend and her mum. Decided to go to glasshouse cafe and i was so surprised. We decided to sit outside on the decking area. There was a speaker playing some music which was creating a lovely atmosphere and was loud enough to create this but quiet enough to have a full conversation. When we ordered we had a latte and two cans, and had decided to order some food. I had an omelette and chips, which were homemade to order, and my girlfriend and her mum had jackets potatoes with tuna and cheese. The food was hot and delicious and the staff serving were kind and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Service was a little slow but well worth the wait. I highly recommend this venue and give a 5 star rating. Amazing establishment.”
