Bee's Cafe at The Emporium, in Maldon

good food good friendly service deserves to do better but a lot of people do not realize it is there especially visitors to the town but value for money is excellent give it a try

This cafe can be found on the first floor of the Emporium the ironmongers half way down the High Street. They can provide you with some nice snacks etc as well as a good cup of coffee for a very reasonable price.

My friend and I always come here for lunch when in Maldon, Always good choice of food on the menu and lots of daily specials on the blackboard. Good food, good service and good value. Recommend.

kelly who runs the cafe is lovely breakfast is best value for money in my opinion yes you have that chain of pubs next door but service and food quality so much better in bees would sooner pay that few pennys extra

Shame to say but after 20 odd years this is not the same, on my last visit we had a big breakfast but it had been cooked in the microwave, the eggs had never seen oil of any sort, the bacon too was cooked in a microwave, I I wanted fast food I would have gone to a famous american burger outlet

kellie is her name breakfast is her game if you want a really nice breakfast for very good value visit the cafe its upstairs of the emporium shop the owner is called kellie she is so friendly with a great smile

Even though we live in Maldon we have never visited this cafe. A friend recommended the breakfast so we thought we would give it a go. Can only say it was great, a real English fry up and plenty of it along with freindly service and a reasonable price. We shall certainly return and tell others about this little gem.

I went to this cafe in Maldon for lunch with my girlfriend Lisa and we had 2 cheese paninis and 2 strawberry milkshakes the food was amazing and the drinks were Fabulous highly recommended this cafe anyone I know and the waiter was friendly too she was very polite I would come back again from Reece Dalsania

Been going to Bees cafe for years, lovely food cooked fresh while you wait always good friendly and helpful staff. Choice of homemade soups, full and half breakfast, and a good selection of hot and cold food.

Bee's cafe, on the first floor of the Emporium in Maldon High Street, is well worth a visit. The staff are very welcoming and the food is well cooked and good value. There is a good choice of dishes both on the menu and on their blackboard on the wall. The cafe caters for people who only want a rest from shopping and a piece of cake and a coffee to breakfast or a main lunch time meal. The food is well cooked and a lot is homemade. Their broccoli and stilton soup is the best I have ever tasted. Their opening hours are normally displayed on a sandwich board outside on the pavement as they are not open everyday. The only negative thing about the cafe is that there is no lift but the staff in the Emporium are very helpful in helping with walker's etc.

Cafe area clean and tidy very welcoming atmosphere menu phenomenal for size of cafe. Service fast and efficient food hot when arrived. Prices were very reasonable. A very busy cafe used by local people.

If you fancy to take the weight off & have some refreshments, then why not visit the Emporium, which is half way down the High Street & you will find this cafe up the stairs at first floor level. The staff there are lovely & friendly & can provide you with both hot & cold snacks or something more substantial if you prefer & all for a very reasonable price.

The Emporium hardware store which can be found half way down Maldon High Street is a very handy shop where you can buy almost anything & an added bonus is that it has a very nice cafe at first floor level where you can rest a while & enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee & a piece of cake or something more substantial if you wish & all at a very reasonable price.

Bees Cafe isnt posh but its clean, the staff are very friendly and the food is good. There is always a varied selection of food on offer, always plenty of it and the overall cost is very good. The next time youre in the Emporium pop up stairs for a cuppa and a bite to eat. Very good value for money you wont be dissapointed.

If you are visiting the lovely country town of Maldon,one place well worth a visit is the Emporium which can be found halfway down the High Street, as they sell so many interesting things for both the house or garden. One thing you also must do whilst you are there is visit Bee's cafe on the top floor. The staff there are very friendly,the food is freshly cooked, their menu caters for all tastes & all food can be purchased for a very reasonable price.

We were browsing in The Emporium, and decided to try this smashing little cafe on the top floor. There is a huge menu on offer, ranging from sandwiches to proper cooked dinners, all freshly prepared on site. We went for the full English breakfast, complete with naughty but nice fried bread !! It was absolutely delicious- hot, tasty, plenty on our plate, and served with a lovely mug of hot coffee and buttered toast. Prices are extremely reasonable- we paid about a tenner for the two of us. We will definitely be back !!

Great food cooked fresh when you order not left keeping warm and getting stewed, Uck!! A good choice for vegetarian breakfast which you don't alway get. Friendly service quick service, nice surroundings.

Nos detuvimos aquí para almorzar, nos alegramos, lasaña chaqueta pot y ensalada. lasaña casera encantadora. No me puedo quejar de nada, el personal es amable.

Se trata de una cómoda Tearoom Emprium tranquila por encima de la tienda. Menú limitado, pero su casero brécol y stilton sopa es el mejor de todos

jacket potatoes and baguettes especially good. large mugs of tea and coffee. pleasant and cheap. jUst good for a break whilst shopping.

If you see builders in a cafe you know that you must be getting value for money. Lovely as well if you want a scone and a pot of tea, great for pensioners if they can manage the stairs!!

Just had lunch at bee's cafe. Bubble and squeak, 2 bacon and egg for £3.95 all fresh cooked and calm ambience. Staff were pleasant and very helpful.

Always went there when it was my day off for breakfast, you just cant beat it for value for money. Great cup of tea and you know its a great cafe if the builder are there having their breakfast too!!!

My elderly parents like to visit this cafe every week for a trip out to the market. That might all sound very much not what you are looking for on a review web page but there are several reasons why I have bothered to write this.Firstly, this little cafe is above a very old style, traditional garden and home shop. It is honestly like a walk back in time in Dickens', "The Old Curiosity Shop". At the back of the shop and outside are a pretty good pet products and garden centre that has access straight out to Butts Lane car park and the weekly market.Secondly, Bee's Cafe, upstairs is quite basic but very clean and welcoming. The tables and chairs are plastic garden furniture but the service and food are definitely as you would get at home; traditional hearty meals, served piping hot, in big portions and at good value.The ladies that run the cafe are very friendly and caring towards their (mainly) older clientele and always have cheerful greetings and kind words to even their new, first time visitors.So, basically. Good food, good service, good value and nice people. What else would you want?

We were regular diner's at Bee's cafe, the food was generous, of high quality and reasonable. Now the surroundings need urgently updating, the food portions are not so generous and the food quality has gone down. We will not be using them again.
