Break And Brunch in Southend-on-Sea

Lunch with a friend today. Menu has changed and is amazing! Much more choice and presented so well. Chose tomatoes on sourdough bread with two poached eggs. It came with houmous and pesto dressing, basil and a salad. It was delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The best in town! I am here working and after trying several cafes locally, Break and Brunch, is the best. Haven’t had a bad mean from here. Meat is high quality and the staff are very friendly and welcoming! See you again tomorrow!

What a lovely family run place. Food excellent, service was great and a nice friendly atmosphere. We will come back.

What an amazing breakfast, I asked for a specific order and it was no problem at all, in fact the chef delivered straight to my table. Excellent service!!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you

A lovely family run restaurant Lovely food and very lovely people Very helpful with a pram Definitely will return here.

The best poached eggs ever. Everything is fresh, the sourdough toast was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend, we will be back.

Me and my partner went here for breakfast this morning. Waitress was really friendly and professional. The full English was banging and my poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be coming here before work again.

Friendly attentive staff, good food and excellent service, will be back.

Been to most cafes overtime all nice.but this one has just got that extra, don’t mind waiting a little bit longer because it’s all freshly cooked and amazing and topped off with a young lady, Maria, so helpful and polite and of course the rest of the team. Thanks again.

Lovely breakfast and reasonably priced

Definitely of the best cafe/lunch places I've been to - hidden gem. Food is lovely and the staff are very welcoming.

Such a cute pretty brunch place in Leigh, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is so lively. Very cute place to spend an afternoon. I ordered the Shakshuka and tasted so authentic! Will be coming here quiet often x

Good coffee and the full English was a big breakfast at a fair price.

Lovely little place! Very nice people and excellent service. Mistakenly brought a fried egg instead of scrambled (which was honestly no problem) but still insisted on bringing an extra plate of scrambled eggs. Amazing iced latte too: very creamy!

great cafe! I spoke to the owner and her partner in the business that said they are having a bar added and will be opening for dinner friday and saturday nights soon and will be doing a sunday roast. I am very excited to see what is coming for this cafe. I beleive they will be closed for a month and then re opening for a new improved menu. Cannot wait to try you out.

The food was amazing and the service was also fantastic. Do not have a bad word to say about this cafe, definitely recommend!

Great little place! Food was excellent!

Absolutely awful!!! Food not fresh.. I had green mould spot on my toast..The lady that runs it is very rude .. DON'T GO!!

Expensive for a sandwich. I Know its Leigh but not the Broadway.

Very friendly restaurant staff. Didn’t get the order right but was able to turn the food around quickly. Offered drinks in the house which was a good gesture. Disappointed to see the “fluffy pancakes “ came out of a packet bought from the local grocery store. When we cancelled the pancakes they were offered as a complementary dessert.

The cafe was spotlessly clean the staff extremely polite couldn't do enough for you food was lovely

Absolutely outstanding experience. The brunch wrap was both good value for money, cooked right before us in under 5 minutes, and totally delicious! My wife said the same about her English breakfast. The couple running and serving us that day were friendly and efficient. We will definitely go back.

The food was amazing, so delicious. The service was great. Cosy comfortable atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

The best breakfast in Leigh on sea😋😋😋😋 Thanks chef

Lovely food and friendly atmosphere!

The best coffee!! Food was lovely and the staff were amazing! Would highly recommend!!

Went in but decided to go elsewhere before ordering, didn't fancy paying £8.50 for a bacon and egg sandwich.

Saw this place from the outside and looked quite welcoming which was a good start but it went downhill quite quickly after waiting about 10 minutes for the table to be cleaned and to actually be handed a menu to order. I ordered a cappuccino, a strawberry banana smoothie, a full English and a breakfast wrap. The drinks took over 25 minutes to arrive. After waiting about an hour I went up to the lady who I assume owns the cafe and I asked her if I could pay for our drinks so we could leave because we had waited for long enough and had lost our hunger. She said that the food was literally ready to come to us and would only take a minute…. I waited another 10 minutes before it arrived. We asked for the egg inside the wrap to be scrambled egg instead of fried and the waitress wrote it down on the ticket but best believe they didn’t even question it at all and still gave us the fried egg inside the wrap. I finished eating and went up to pay again and she did take the service charge off the bill but being in there for about an hour and half give or take I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing food and nice atmosphere

Stopped by at 3pm for a missed lunch. We were welcomed warmly, nice menu choice. Coffee delicious, had the Chicken avocado Granary sandwich. was all cooked fresh, nice garnish with homemade pesto. My daughter had a cream cheese, smoked salmon bagel, a generous filling and light cream cheese. Thoroughly enjoyed, happy with price. Would love to go again.

Unfriendly service. Made to feel we had to leave quickly. Forgot things we had ordered. Would not return.

Unfortunately not a good experience,a very long wait for our food,lack of communication from staff and not made to feel welcome.Also be aware service charge made automatically on bill.

Popped in for coffee,then saw the carrot cake. Excellent and beautifully presented. Returned the next week for breakfast. I had scrambled egg on toast, my friend had mini all day breakfast.Both excellent and once again beautifully presented

Great place. Had a lovely breakfast - such a varied menu, would love to come back again.

Great breakfast. Highly recommend

Had a vegetarian breakfast. Was very nice. My only criticism was the beans and mushrooms were only warm. Also they charge service charge which should be optional. Will try again soon and hopefully hotter next time.

We stopped in on a Sunday lunchtime for a full English breakfast. Excellent food and the coffee is absolutely superb. Highly recommended.

My daughter and I had lunch at this lovely cafe’ and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent and fresh food and the lovely service. Highly recommend!

Came for breakfast, absolutely delicious! Fresh food, great coffee - will be back. Thanks!

Friendly people good quality food. Various specials, from snacks to King prawn linguine.

Lovely lady served us. Very clean, slightly expensive, but it is Leigh.

food was lush and came quickly and service was great. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and i will definitely come here again!

First visit on a trip to Leigh and very pleasantly surprised. Very warm welcome from Linda and her partner. Great food and loverly atmosphere. Linda's festive fruit cake was exquisite. Make sure you have some.

Linda was very friendly and the customer service was second to none. Not even taking in the food which was delicious. Fantastic food and service all round. See you soon Linda

We visited Break and Brunch late afternoon on a Saturday and it was a great experience- the food was delicious (highly recommend the cheesecake) and the owner is lovely and made us feel really welcome. We will definitely be returning.

Had a wonderful meal this evening with a group of friends. The food and service were fantastic. Hoping our group can return nearer to Christmas for another great meal.

Lovely and welcoming food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommed!

Lovely. Friendly, clean and great food.

Lovely little breakfast bar amazing food, even better more friendly service, deserves so much more attention than it is getting 👍

New favourite in Leigh! Highly recommend Break & Brunch for the great service, great coffee and a cracking menu! Linda and Max are great and the food is to die for, favourites for me have to be the eggs Benedict, pancakes, bruschetta and all the pastas! 😋

Check out this amazing spot for brunch or lunch, the service is superb and the food is out of this world! They have a great menu for brunch with the usual classics as well some special Italian inspired options and a great starters / pasta menu! Highly recommend the eggs Benedict, pancakes, meats platter, bruschetta and all the pastas! 😋

4th time I've been here and it's my new favourite place. Massimo invites you to ask for any special requests. He is a great chef and all the people I've introduced to it have been blown away. Pastas of the day are superb. The breakfasts are gorgeous and my fave pasta is the spaghetti with chill and prawns Wishing you all the best guys xxx

Eggs benedict were absolutely perfect...Will be returning 😋

A lovely little cafe on Leigh’s Broadway! The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the food is fresh and absolutely delicious - we could see it being cooked in front of us behind the main till! My boyfriend and I got burgers and chips as a little afternoon treat and it was seriously amazing. Both of them were perfectly seasoned and so mouth-watering and I’ve never had chips so addictive till I visited this place - seriously. Definitely do check this place out because you will not be disappointed! We were also impressed by the prices of this place - very low prices for our high quality burger meals. Also, another notable thing is the cafe is beautifully decorated, with marble tables and leaf hangings on the ceiling, which I also thought was a lovely touch to the welcoming atmosphere. :)

As soon as we walked in the cafe, we’ve been welcomed with the best smile by Massimo and his partner. They offered us a coffee and I was amazed by how good that coffee was. We then ordered two breakfast wraps that were accurately prepared and tasted fabulously! 10/10!! Food prices are also very fair! The place looks stunning - highly recommend! GRAZIE MASSIMO!

Absolutely lovely place to sit and enjoy a gorgeous breakfast and a cuppa, the owner was so accommodating and the food was sooo tasty, best breakfast I've ever eaten and we will be revisiting again soon. They are also getting a liquor licence and will be doing 3 course meals in the evening as of next week if I remember rightly. Enjoy and thank you xx

Such a cute cafe, and the food is AMAZING. Went in looking for a place that did a late full english breakfast, then saw their menu and decided we had to go for an italian lunch. The pictures on other reviews just looked too good to be true - but the food tastes even better than it looks!! We're still eating our starters while writing this review😭💖

was one of the best experiences, massimo and linda are the most welcoming people, the food on top was delicious, will definitely return and will be our go to place for a bite to eat now!

the most amazing service, Linda and Massimo were so welcoming and the best people! me and my friends loved it and will definitely be returning

Amazing Italian food! Especially the bruschetta! Linda and Massimo were so welcoming. Brilliant service, my friends and I will definitely be back.

Came in for a quick bite to eat and it was honestly so delicious I already want to come back and try other dishes. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, the food was so fresh and delicious and the decor is very pretty. Nice to find a place that serve breakfast/brunch late in the afternoon too!
