This is a nice, freshly decorated cafe building with a nice long terrace area out front which is partially covered so good all year round I imagine.
I popped in on Saturday at about 12.30 as one of a group of about 12. It was half full so we were able to sit at a couple of tables out the front.

Nice place for a hot drink and cake. Nothing special but a cosy place with seatings inside/outside or in the conservatory area.
Not much staff working. Had to order and pay at the till point, therefore not much of a service and a welcoming service. However the girl who served at the till was very n
Lovely cafe by the estuary. Good selection of hot and cold food. Had a lovely decaff tea and very nice hot cross bun. Also sells a number of seaside things ideal for families enjoying the Mersea coast.
What a great cafe. Location is amazing just opposite the sea and the floating pontoon. You can sit outside on a nice day or when wrapped up warm. Or inside in the restaurant or in the dog friendly porch area.
Now the concept is everything is served in cardboard pizza boxes so you order your food and
Random selection for a Sunday morning breakfast that delivered on all fronts. Some might say unconventional but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Great location opposite the estuary.
Lovely little place . With excellent food and lovely staff . Dog friendly too. Will come back again for sure
I suppose serving meals in cardboard boxes saves on the washing up but I think I would absolutely have to draw the line if I ordered pork chop, veg and gravy for lunch and it was served on a newspaper folded in half.
A good cafe with reasonable cost food. The patio is wheelchair accessible although a little steep. They have a conservatory on the front with two tables. This is also wheelchair accessible but entry to the main cafe/shop is via a door with a large step. Public toilets, including disabled are availab
Fab location. Lovely little place to visit all year around.
You can get everything from a pot of tea to hot 'bistro' food, cold drinks... crabbing buckets, bacon and all sort of Mersea keepsakes.
Great cafe food, lovely items.
My daughter loves to pop in for their refreshing ice creams and I love
Well presented and delicious food. Attentive and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere
Delicious American breakfast, fresh pancakes! Quirky atmosphere.
A bit pricy but it’s understandable since no competitors nearby, also it’s on the main road. The food was delicious and the service was good. Lovely garden to stay if the wether allows.
Tasty and hot food. Nice view of the sea. Only thing was service can be quite slow.
Great little cafe, 1 hour free parking opposite, public toilets in car park. Great view. Good breakfast, reasonable price. Crabbing nets and seaside goods inside for sale. Friendly staff. Was served in polystyrene which is not great in my personal opinion
My parents have a static caravan on the island and this is a regular stop off point for drinks and ice creams when we are out. The staff arevalways friendly and helpful. They have a nice selection of fresh scoop ice creams as well as the normal shop selection. They serve breakfast and lunches. T
A great find. So pleased we came across it. Food is really good quality and very reasonably priced. We have eaten in here numerous times now and always been really good. Very friendly staff great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast, brunch, lunch or tea and cakes or hot doughnuts.
