Beans and Bagels in Basildon

Hands down... the best place to eat in Wickford. Nikkie ( the owner) and Mark are so welcoming and friendly and had us crying with laughter, what brilliant people they are, nothing is to much trouble for either of them. The bagels are amazing with huge choice of fillings and really tasty. Best start to the day.... can't wait to go back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Beans&Bagels (Nicky and Mark) for a great 40th and 70th birthday breakfast celebration. As always the food was excellent with super friendly service. Love the birthday cake and candle.

If you want to be welcomed with a friendly face where nothing is too much bother then this is the place for you. Good Coffee and Tea, always hot, (tea beautifully served with real china tea cup/saucer, tea pot and jug). Once you have visited this little haven you will want to return. Excellent value, good company and somewhere to recharge your batteries from the daily routine.

Our first time at this lovely little cafe, but it won't be the last! The bagels were lovely and fresh - as was the fillings. The latte coffee was also lovely - not bitter like in some places. The owners are also very lovely and welcoming too. Highly recommend this little gem of a place. :)

We stopped off on our journey up to Suffolk as we needed a break. A great establishment and the staff were very courteous, helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Service was quick and the coffee was excellent - great choice of fillings in the bagels - definitely worth searching out.

Been going here 3/4 times a week since October. I can’t stress enough how much this is a must try place in Wickford, never had a single complaint.

This is a little gem. The staff are so friendly and the bagels are the best I’ve ever had. Even my husband likes them. He usually hates bagels and won’t touch them. Brilliant little place. The coffee is so good too.

Best coffee in Wickford! Dropped in for two flat whites while out shopping this morning and as always had a lovely friendly welcome from the ladies behind the counter. Coffees were smooth and a decent size, unlike some cafes, and we're looking forward to calling in there again soon.

Amazing coffee shop in Wickford, really friendly and accommodating staff. I was asking for something that wasn’t specifically on their menu but the lovely lady who worked there went above and beyond for me and even went out to the butchers to buy the sausages. Lovely hot chocolate and really lovely spot. Such a good find!

Excellent service & always a very friendly welcoming. Bagels are always fresh & tasty.. cosey atmosphere. Just what our town needs..

A lovely visit to this cafe, busy and most tables were taken but I squeezed in and was served quickly. The coffee is delicious and the food wonderful and freshly prepared with quality ingredients. Definitely the best coffee shop in town!

The food is delicious, the ham sandwich is my favorite Hopefully one day I will come to England to enjoy coffee and cakes at this place again Thank

The perfect coffee shop/ restaurant! A whole menu of to-die-for bagels (the best in Essex and it’s not even close!) and great coffee. Team are so friendly and create such a warm atmosphere! I’d give 6 stars if I could!

Fantastic coffee shop, popped in for a coffee with a friend, ended up staying for lunch. Such friendly staff with great table service and the bagels are the best I've ever tasted. We weren't rushed out, even though we'd spent three hours in there!

Great Coffee shop and amazing freshly made Bagels, love to sit in and chat with other locals, nice menu or make up your own ingredients, always a happy welcome.

Visited this place today with a friend for lunch, they couldn’t recommend it enough……well I second that for sure, from the moment you walk in, you are treated like family, friendly staff, clean environment, good choice of food that is cooked fresh to order if you have a hot item. Hot coffee and plenty of options, Nicola and her staff are well presented and so pleasant and happy. We had such a lovely lunch, only downside, is that it could be bigger, but it’s a cosy & comfortable environment. Will definitely be back. My friend Tiff and I, had a lovely time, we laughed with the staff and was made to feel very welcome.

Great spot for coffee and lunch. Great staff, great food and so lovely that its clearly part of the community - with their gift a hot drink and bagel board, a super initiative!

I’ve been there a few times over the last couple of years. The staff are always cheerful and friendly, the bagels are superb with a great variety. Of course, you have to have a decent coffee with it, they do that very well too 👍👍

Just fantastic. The staff are so welcoming and happy, and the food is awesome. It was my first time here, but if I was local, I’d be a regular. Highly recommended

The coffee is great, the bagels are tasty and the staff are so friendly. What’s there not to love about Beans & Bagels!

Visited today for breakfast. My bacon, Brie and red onion bagel was excellent. Very friendly staff and a nice place to meet for a coffee. If you haven’t tried it, you really should.

What a great little business. Had the salt beef bagel but have had the salmon previously. Food is top notch & the staff are amazing

Fantastic bagels and delicious coffees. The best cafe in Wickford with wonderful friendly staff. Nicky has created the perfect place for a coffee and lunch - and you can phone to order for collection too.

Popped in for a lovely coffee and there was talk about sausage and caramelised onion bagels. I'm easily persuaded and it was an excellent choice for an early 11'sies. Delicious! ( Also entertained by the owner Nikki chasing her pop up tent around outside as...

Very welcoming friendly staff, coffee was lovely as was the soft fresh bagel we had. I went for the mozzarella, tomato and pesto bagel and my husband chose the salt beef. They were both delicious. We will definitely be back :-)

Fantastic food and coffee, brilliant service with wonderful friendly staff, it really is an absolute gem of a place, love it. If you do go, I think you will very quickly know exactly what I mean.

The coffee was spot on 👌🏻 Staff went out of their way to organise a teddy bears picnic for a family. Lovely to see, we will be back 🐻

I’m a regular here because you are so welcomed every time. Lovely food and a coffee and really enjoyed a few afternoon teas too. My little boy loves the milkshakes. Just a lovely friendly atmosphere to be in, highly recommend a visit

I used to get my salt beef bangels from brick lane I’ve had from beans & bangels & thay are very good

Very enjoyable experience. Staff extra friendly and explained the menu choices. The only few criticism I have are:- • More choice of bagel doughs • offer of tap water • Wobbly tables Otherwise I wished I had found this coffee shop months ago. Cheers Howard

Had a lovely afternoon Tea here today .It was so nice and really worth the money . Lovely staff.Food was all fresh and tasty.will go again .

Best cafe in Wickford. Friendly service, delicious bagels and great coffee. It is the personal touches such as blankets for customers who want to sit outside and the comfy chairs etc that pushes this cafe ahead of the rest. The bagels are gorgeous too.

Great place for tasty bagels and really nice coffee - we have started coming quite often, we have young babies too and they can't do enough to make us feel welcome. Really lovely owners and great food and coffee, a real find in Wickford!

The food here is excellent and the service is second to none. Had some Bagels for breakfast and they were lovely, plenty of filling and made fresh to order.

It’s always a warm welcome when we come here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bagels are lovely and there is a great selection of fillings. Perfect for a spot of lunch and a coffee.

Greeted immediately with a smile, friendliness and yummmm! Surprisingly large portion sizes and great options for fillings-thank you!! We’ll be back!

Excellent Bagels and very nice Coffee. This was our first visit but won’t be the last. Lots of choice with friendly staff to help you decide.

This is our favourite lunch spot in Wickford. The service is goodand the food is delicious but the staff are truly the loveliest. The cafe caters to your dietary requirements, which is appreciated. Definitely my local recommendation.

AMAZING BAGELS and great prices! The food here is out of this world, the staff are lovely and made us feel warm and welcome. You can pick off the menu what bagel you’d like or you can make your own. We will be coming here...

So pleased this wonderful little place has survived the lockdown. They have pop up pods for eating outside if the weather is not so good but it was great to be able to eat inside once more. We popped in for a late breakfast yesterday...

Popped in for lunch - 1st indoor meal for a long time! Staff were happy to see us, we had a New Yorker and a salt beef bagel both of which were delicious as was the hot chocolate. We will definitely be back!

An absolute gem of a place. Lovely food and selection of drinks with such a warm welcome. Felt very safe and clean during this rather difficult time, a new favourite place to eat.

I moved locally around a year ago and never got time to pop in there, until recently it’s now my new favourite place the staff are so friendly, nothing is too much and the bagels are so yummy and fresh! Looking forward to popping back...

Really great atmosphere and lovely people. Food was prepared fresh and to order - even with our nuances to out orders (Wife can't stand mustard, madness!). Truly lovely and will absolutely be back soon!

Food is delicious. Staff are lovely & friendly. Spot on for lunch & will definitely be a frequent visitor. Can’t recommend Beans & Bagels enough.

I highly recommend Beans & Bagels, the team are very welcoming and accommodating in creating any bagel you wish. The coffee was also great and there are a wide range of milks to choose from. It’s nice to have somewhere in Essex where you can...
