Great family owned café. I'm a Texan living in leigh-on-sea and visit the café at least once a week and enjoy talking with the owner and the food. Great place!

Excellent place to eat! Top quality food, happy and professional service and more importantly very generous pricing! Food along the broadway is well overpriced but not here! Will definitely be using this place more often!

Couldn't tell you anything about the cafe, but their contact number is being spoofed by spam callers.

This is our second visit and I can heartily recommend the large breakfast. Great value for money and the sausages are not only local but divine. They make the dish. Service as always is spot on. Prices are reasonable too.

Gorgeous cafe, lovely friendly staff who, the view outside is beautiful. Had a sausage and egg sandwich and the sausage was very good quality. Not your typical cheap sausage you generally get from cafes. Love it.
