Cafe Noir in Southend-on-Sea

Great service had really good time here, would recommend

Waited ages for coffee with other people coming in after and being served. Young lady behind counter has an attitude problem with her eye rolling whilst we decided what we wanted to eat. No menu offered. Cappuccino was like a stewed flat white. Won't be going again.

Highly recommended. Forget your social apps, turn off your phone, order a large coffee and panini, sit down and relax. Staff is lovely, food is great, prices are right. Italian music was a bonus. Love that place ❤️

Discovered this cafe a few years but due to covid we haven't been back until yesterday and today only to discover that it's been taken over by Simone and what a pleasant surprise. The coffee was as good as before and lunch was freshly cooked and very tasty add to that very jovial and friendly staff made this a very pleasant atmosphere and visit .we wish you luck with your new venture. Our friends has travelled down from Sheffield to stay with us for the new year and said it was worth the trip just for the coffee. See you again soon.

Authentic Italian coffee. Once again we had a lovely experience enjoying delicious cheese and bacon toastie. We have been enjoyed Cafe Noir food for the past few years and always a pleasure every time we get back even just to have the taste of their authentic coffee☕café. I highly recommend this place with indoor and outdoor seating.

Lovely little cafe with brilliant coffee.

Very good for every SHORTLY THE COFFEE WILL CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND I WILL STOP GOING THERE AND CHANGE COFFEE I HOPE YOU WILL FOLLOW ME Caffè Noire has been sold and soon there will be a change of management I recommend going elsewhere as I will

Found this by chance while shopping with my daughter this morning and what a find it was. We both had a full English which was cooked from fresh and all the produce was of high quality. Will definitely be going back if only for the friendly atmosphere and being spoken to in Italian!

Great panini, great coffee, great salad, great service 👍🇮🇹

Very nice service lovely food attention to detail other cafes could learn a lot! Really enjoyable vist will be back!!

Fabulous little cafe lovely lady and owner running it. Very enjoyable lunch and son practice his Spanish!!

Nice friendly staff, food is good quality made with love.

Food was extremely tasty, wasnt expecting such good quality from a small cafe. Was better than then restourant!

Staff is very attentive, constantly cleaning around. The place is a bit small and quite crowded so it feels a bit cramped inside but nothing unpleasant, there are also tables outside if you prefer. Overall, very tasty food and very good experience!

No need for fake places like Caffè Nero; this is the real thing!! Traditional Italian cafe bar. Nice strong coffee, and tasty paninis prepared to order and served with a fresh side salad. Friendly Italian gent runs it. Handy for the high street and for Southend Central station. Just watch out that it’s cash only (but with low prices).

Italian man runs this cafe. Small cosy place but clean and not cramped. Excellent value for money. Good food at good prices

Easily the best cappucino and espresso in Southend. Refreshingly honest, quality Italian food served on plates, not slates and if you need to sit outside for a fag, it's quieter than some other roadside locations.

A small but very friendly cafe. The food is yummy and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I was able to sit outside and enjoy my tea and cake. They have new seating now which is a bit posh. But still the same old positive atmosphere where I could have a quick snack and just watch the world go by.

Fantastic baguettes. Authentic Italian. I highly recommend this place with indoor and outdoor seating.

Nice place, a bit small, but good atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. Will go there again.

Always the REAL Caffè espresso 100% italian

Nice cafe meal .Very nice service from the Italian owner

Great breakfast, excellent value and great Italian service.

Excellent. Delicious food. Owner very friendly and hard working.

Great little Italian cafe, excellent paninis and coffee. Staff are really friendly too👍

Just small cafe with all of the tables for 4 people. The man was fairly pleasant, seems more friendly with his regulars. Quite nice food and nice coffee

Great food and lovely friendly owner - only too happy to help and to stop and have a chat. I'm a returning customer.

We sat outside Cafe Noir to eat breakfast. It smelt of good coffee and looked really appealing, we thought we had found a little gem of a place. We ordered 2 large breakfasts, the eggs were hard, the bacon was really really chewy, I'm not sure if the sausage was off or just a strange taste, however, I couldn't eat it. It is cash only, so if you do go, you need to know that but there is a cash machine in the bank next door. My advice though is go anywhere else, just not here!

I have been coming here for several years, ever since I discovered calves liver on their board. I'm there probably twice or three times a month (when open during current restrictions). It's always the same for me - calves liver and bacon. The liver is always tender and melts in the mouth and the bacon is slightly crispy - a perfect blend. Served with crispy French fries and a generous salad (ripe tomato, cucumber, onion, not too much lettuce). I am not sure how healthy it is, but it is delicious. With a mug of tea, it was £10 including a tip before the lockdown. Luigi gives a warm welcome!

Love this place. The owner is really friendly. Food is reasonably priced and Covid rules apply.

What a lovely little cafe. Good ffresh, clean breakfast. Great coffee.

Excellent food and service. Very affordable. Family run business,very friendly people. I been using this Cafe for 10years, never been disappointed.

Glad we found this little hidden gem. Great Coffee. Freshly made Panini to your choice. Deffentley recommend

Had the Jumbo Breakfast, the eggs were not runny, the bacon was so crispy that it resembled pork scratchings. The hash browns were over cooked and after dropping my toast on the floor it wasn't replaced. The sausage was amazing but sadly it resembled a cocktail sausage

Nice food and very reasonably priced.

Good food, friendly atmosphere, makes you think your in Italy. Highly recommended

Best cafe I've ever been to hands down. Food is great, prices are great, staff are fantastic. I would give this more stars if I could

Cozy place with very nice owners. Had their steak and was good quality and amount for almost £10. They also sell a lot of italian products.

Best Italian espresso coffee in Southend-on-Sea, good food and cheap prices
