Hit the jackpot lol. Ordered a muffin, sandwich and a latte. Had a call to say the muffin I chose was still being cooked. Was given the choice of ordering a different one or wait. I waited and got a warm muffin yum

Good service, good coffee, sit outside and watch the swans. What else could one want? On our first day of house hunting in Chelmsford we went to BBs. 20+years later it is much the same and we still go there for coffee.

A better than normal Coffee shop of the fast food nature. We had an excellent cup of Late and shared a lovely White Chocolate Cookie but from looking at the displays, there were lovely sandwiches and snacks available. Trouble was, we had only a few hours earlier, had a fantastic breakfast and it was as much for a seat as anything, that saw us coming in here.

Disappointing to know this business continues to employ young people on "trial shifts" and does not pay them any wage. It's 2023 - pay the minimum wage for their work. Otherwise you have free labour from multiple unemployed people over a year which is frankly disgraceful.

we sat down with our coffee and cake and they cordeneded us off, as in someone got a barrier and put it around our table, they then cleaned the rest of the cafe. this was a good hour before the place was due to shut. the coffee was bland machine fodder and the cake was a muffin and was no good at all, it was very expensive too.

My family and I took a friend, who was visiting for the day, out to lunch. We chose bb’s and really pleased we did. The man who served us (I think must have been the manager) was very welcoming and helpful. He was very patient as my dad and our friend are pensioners and it took some time to work out what we were going to have. I was very grateful for that 😉😁. The food was lovely and just perfect for what we were looking for. Our friend had a ham salad baguette freshly made and packed full. So much that she took half home for her dinner 😆 and the staff very kindly gave me a takeaway container! My daughter and I loved our strawberry lemonade too. The store was clean and tidy and welcoming and would definitely visit again. It was lovely to sit outside by the river as well. The only thing I would add is that some of the chairs were very wet from a short downpour so it may be worth either tipping them when it rains or giving them a quick wipe down after the shower has finished 😉. All in all will visit again and would recommend. My dad is already planning his next visit!

When I walked by the shop on a late Saturday afternoon, the shop order caught my eye so I walked over to take a look. He suggested I try the muffin and coffee. I'm always looking for new places to try coffee. As a Starbucks coffee fan, we have a conversation back and forth over a sweet treat. But I was pleasantly surprised by the flavour of this coffee at BB coffee. Was better than any other coffee shop I've tried. There was also a wide variety of muffins to choose from so I took a few. There are three different types and each has its own flavour, so you have to try them for yourself

Do you want to have a quiet coffee in a peaceful surrounding. Do you want to be served with staff that have attention to detail and give you the chance to choose what you want....... then this is definitely NOT the place to be. The staff are loud. You can hear their conversations even outside the shop. They ask customers questions in a loud arrogant tone. There are good points. Its clean. Accessible for wheelchairs. Nice outside table area. Good coffee. Its just ruined by the staff. This is the perfect place to come if your in a large party as you may have a chance of drowning out the staff. And if I want a muffin....I,ll ask for one. I don't need a complete run down of the menu. I can decide if I'm hungry or not. Dont be pushy. I can honestly say I won't be going back. Back to Starbucks any day of the week.

Normally love this place, however one member of staff chose to sit smoking infront of an open door (door open in line with covid regs) the whole place stank of cigarette smoke. The member of staff completely oblivious to people coughing inside as a result, when mentioned to another staff member behind the counter, who eventually understood nature of my complaint, the doors were closed (not in line with covid regs)

Sat outside, per CoVid regs. Nice next to river. Cappuccino coffee good but not the warmest when served. Good to see a choice of gluten free muffins now available - tasty, as well. However a black mark in that the gluten free items were displayed on same shelf as wheat based muffins - cross- contamination possible.

Order: caramel latte, hot chocolate, mango pineapple & passion fruit smoothie, 2 sausage rolls. First thing we did was go and get a table but the only one left was filthy and had a tray of dirty plates and cups. No one came over to clear and wipe the table for us, we had to ask for it to be done. One member of staff still got our order wrong even after being asked TWICE (we asked for a KIDDIES hot chocolate but we were charged for and given an adult one.) No pineapple so they said they would do the smoothie with just mango and passion fruit but no discount was offered which I feel was unfair. But when the smoothie arrived it was clear the only fruit in the smoothie was mango. It did not taste at all of passion fruit. And was so thick it couldn’t even be drunk through the straw. Very disappointing and at £3.65 unbelievable. Definitely not worth that price. The sausage meat in the sausage roll was an awful colour brown and did not taste nice at all. The sausage rolls used to be delicious but they certainly aren’t now. Pastry was so dry it fell away from the sausage. £2.25 is ridiculous. Greggs sausage rolls are only 95p and are 100 times nicer, definitely go there instead. Staff were pleasant but not friendly. Some staff not wearing masks, or had mask down. Overall a very disappointing experience and at the prices they charge definitely not worth it. Do not waste your money. BB’s was a regular venue me and my family enjoyed but it has really gone downhill and we will not be going back again. Also did not feel very safe as the tables were so close together - I was sitting less than a metre away from a lady on the table behind me, in fact the backs of our chairs were almost touching.

Although the baguettes and coffee were nice, it did put me off a bit, when realised some staff members were not wearing masks, there was no sanitizers and no track and trace to complete. The tables were not cleared and the ones that did get cleared were not even wiped down let alone sanitized. Quite an awful example of bad practice.

No hand sanitizer on offer and the NHS track and trace needs to be near the till not on a wall opposite. Nice coffee and warm muffin but after seeing the staff not wearing masks it put us off so we promptly left, to which my husband did ask one of the staff members where his mask was to which he replied “Good Question” says it all really.

I pay and then the barista 1 minute later said we cannot do this smoothie. This is unacceptable, because I have already paid I ordered something else but is ridiculous. No Covid 19 measures, the barista touched the straw with his hand without washing them. Disgusting, I will never go there again
