Visited the Art Cafe in Mersea on a Friday Morning and was not disappointed. Seating inside and outside on the side of the road that was buzzing not busy, a great place to watch the world go by. Ordered 2 full English breakfasts which were very nice. We asked for no beans and was offered something extra which was greatly appreciated. Tea was nice too, and staff were lovely and attentive even though clearly very busy. Will definitely be back soon. Recommended.

We came back twice on a recent visit to Mersea island. The coffee and food are great and it’s dog friendly 🐕 First visit we tried the Bubble and Squeek added to poached eggs on toast! And it was so delicious! On the second visit I tried the cinnamon toast, that had a childhood nostalgia for me, and I loved it! Staff were all lovely too.

Many thanks to Maggie and the team for a wonderful breakfast. Felt very welcome, service with a laugh and a smile. Accommodated us all nicely with some lovely food, all 10 bikers from Triangle Motorcycle Club Ipswich enjoyed it. Kindest regards, Ryan.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere very organic and quire magical in a very relaxed way. Love the food, especially the cake which is never too sweet or dry. My favourite it the courgette and lime but still working my way through them all!

A fabulous and best breakfast on the island, provided by very friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend the full breakfast with bubble and squeak - just yummy. The cafe welcomes dogs too.

lovely little place. brilliant art on the walls. very clean. very warm welcome. pleasant staff. good looking menu. parking is a bit hit and miss otherwise would be a good 5 stars. ordered pot of tea. was good and strong. and scrambled egg on toast. good taste and quick turn around. chef was busy so a good clientele of regulars I reckon. overall a solid recommend for this place scrambled egg was 10/10. delicious. beautifully seasoned. perfect consistency. not watery. just perfect. waxing lyrically over scrambled egg?? it's so easy to serve this dish poorly...but chef here nailed it. really delicious.

Our family's favourite. Highly recommended little Cafe, a perfect little gem. Great atmosphere and a polite waiting personnel truly makes this place outstanding. Their menu is cleverly put together catering for the more traditional and also the younger adventurous generation, highly recommended for all ages. We always look forward to visit. Ps; Obsessed with their Egg Benedict! The best ever. Thank you xxx 💕 Update 09.06.2018 Visit the cafe on Monday the 4th with mum and daughter. The art cafe side was full and after a swim we didn't fancy sitting outside with blankets provided... we were just about making a reservation for later when Clare kindly advised that the Cake Hut Deli linked with the Art cafe has available seats. Service was polite and professional as always. Food was amazing. Love seeing my daughter's little face eating her favourite sandwich always made by the team just how she loves it. Priceless The cake hut deli is also offering a wide variety of freshly baked breads, cakes, fresh local produce, fabulous cheeses, unique preserves, fresh eggs etc for sale. Grabbed a delicious low Gi granary bread and some yummies to bring home. Thank you Clare and thank you all again! It's always a treat. Hope to be back soon. Xx

We popped by for lunch after a stroll on Monkey beach and the food was amazing. Generous side salad and coleslaw. Outside seating dog friendly with a water bowl provided.
