Doorsteps Cafe, Basildon in Basildon

What a place. Hash brown and egg baguette was top notch.

Great food. Service was a little slow , probably due to being busy

Locally run cafe with very good menu lots of choice and special children's menu, when weather permits additional tables and chairs are put outside, the cafe is well staffed and very clean, can get busy at times so this confirms how popular this cafe is

Absolutely lovely fry up lovely food lovely service and lovely atmosphere definitely recommended

Fantastic service and food. Great value for money prices

What a great place, excellent hot food, excellent service, clean and tidy with a great atmosphere. Lots of families eating there so I think that speaks volumes. Keep up the good work 😊

Great food, decent portions and a fair price. Staff are polite and the place is spotless. Always busy every time I’ve been there which is a good sign. The menu offers a good range of options to satisfy your tastebuds. Highly recommend this place if it’s a proper fry up you’re after!👍👍

A good out-of the way cafe in traditional sense. Parking very close by for vans and cars.

Excellent food good prices friendly staff very pleasant atmosphere highly recommend

Different price every time but get same sandwich, always something not right as they didn't listen to what I want. Sandwich very dry lacking on filling had 2bits of onion and 1 lettuce leaf and 3 tiny bits of chicken. Will not use again as I can make a better sandwich and probably for less money. Had breakfast last week cost £30 me and my children had eaten our full breakfast and my other daughter still hadn't got her tuna cheese melt sandwich. Seems like a lot of stuff standing about doing nothing having a chat no one communicating with orders.

The food is ok, not in best I've had. Reasonable prices and portions are good. The liver and bacon is the one to have👌🏻

Delicious food and a very nice cup of tea!

Good food, good service, friendly staff fair prices

Old skool cafe food was quick to come one of the best breakfasts ive had in some time

Excellent food and service and excellent friendly staff

Fantastic cafe with a friendly atmosphere....staff are welcoming and the food is tasty 😋 Clean and spacious Definitely recomend a visit

Not very clean. Service wasn't great and these people would not know a Spanish omelette if one came and smacked them round the face. Will not be returning

Always a good place for a cuppa just after school drop off. Food is always spot on and staff really friendly.

A very nice cup of tea, pleasant surroundings, always try and pop in if my barbers are to busy

A spacious, bright and clean cafe with a great choice of menu items, the portions are very generous for money and not dripping in fat. The staff were friendly, and it was good to see them sanitising the tables and menus as we left… Another place to add to our cafes to visit again list when we are next in the area.

Excellent service from start to finish , The lovely ladies at the front catered for dietary requirements too

One of the best breakfast cafes around, very considerate of my halal food needs too

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Very clean. Would definitely return x

Very clean. Tidy and spacious. Food arranged nicely on plate. Good job all round

Lovely little cafe, went for the full monty fry up and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be returning!

Went in about 1/2 before they closed, there was no issue with cooking some bacon and the rolls were really fresh

Great food, pleasant staff, well recommended

Regular venue for family brunches on a Saturday. Great food, excellent service and very friendly staff.

Excellent mug of builders tea 👍😀

Just had a lovely breakfast at a very reasonable price....staff are so friendly 5star from me😀

I ordered 4 Bacon rolls to take away, i was asked to wait outside, just under 30 mins later order arrived, i was freezing cold with waiting, poor customer service, never using again.

Good old fashioned Cafe, nice and clean. Friendly staff, worth a visit.

I stumbled across this little gem after having a hospital appointment and was looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat before heading home. There was plenty of free parking, a good choice of food including all day breakfasts as well as healthy options like omelettes, jacket potatoes and freshly made sandwiches. The cafe was clean and tidy and all Covid rules and regulations were in place and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I will definitely be paying this place another visit when passing through.

Well cooked food and generous portion sizes, friendly and helpful staff with a relaxed atmosphere and seating inside and out.

Worst breakfast I’ve ever had. After a 25 minute wait for the food to arrive we noticed straight away the mushrooms were completely raw, sent back. Came back cooked but soaked in oil!Sausages fit for vegetarians not a trace of meat in sight and they looked like they just came out the microwave.Physically couldn’t eat the bacon it had the strangest bitter taste to it. Overall an absolute disaster of a breakfast.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Great cafe. Lovely food and nice staff

Very good service helpful staff would recommend it

Nice food, friendly atmosphere,clean and good value

Great food at a great price and a fantastic bunch of staff.

Always good! Fast friendly service! Great quality and quantity! Breakfast is served all day, which works for me!

Always a great breakfast friendly staff and decent portions!! What more do u need?

This is the second time I have visited this cafe, the first time it was ok but the second time it was awful, I was served cold snotty eggs. cheap undercooked sausages nearly raw mushrooms and soggy half cook chips it was awful the only good thing about the breakfast was the thick-sliced bread and the can of coke

Seen so many good reviews locally that we thought we would try it for breakfast-will never visit again!Wasn’t particularly busy (3 tables occupied on arrival) yet we had to wait 40 minutes for 2 sausage and egg sandwiches, a full breakfast and an omelette! When it did eventually arrive, all the eggs were undercooked, the mushrooms in the omelette where raw and food overall was unnecessarily greasy! Much better places to eat locally!!

Always great service, our favourite cafe, great food great staff and a friendly atmosphere x

Good value. Everything in the all day breakfast was freshly cooked and they didn't overcook the black pudding like so many other places.

Good food 🍲, friendly staff and free parking

Staff, food and overall review is 5**. The food is really good, cooked perfectly and served always with a smile. Always clean and are great with accommodating kids. 100% recommend

Love this cafe. I would recommend as best place in Laindon to get a fry up. For little over £6 you get the full monty, their biggest breakfast on the menu. Service is good. The cafe is always impeccably clean unlike other 'greasy spoons' and the food is always consistently great. Plus huge selection of other food. Family friendly and they have outdoor seating for those who smoke.

Stopped for later breakfast excellent place clean food excellent very large portions had the full Monty breakfast couldn’t eat it all well worth a visit.

Amazing staff, Great quality food, the half pound burger with cheese is a must have!

Had an excellent breakfast with family this morning at Doorsteps

Lovely place to grab a bite to eat. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Everyone will feel welcome at this cafe.

A very clean, traditional cafe! The food was so well prepared. A nice place to sit and have a breakfast on a lazy Sunday while reading a paper. We will be back here for sure!

Very clean, excellent food, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

I was here with my son for some tea and cake. It was busy with lots of people enjoying breakfast.

Great food, quick service and friendly staff.

Great staff and service, good food. Thanks.

Friendly staff with excellent service!

Excellent food friendly staff really clean highly recommend.

Tasty sausage rolls, excellent fresh food and friendly staff

Omlettes are the best in Basildon amazzzinggg!!!

Local cafe amongst the houses, it sits amongst a small parade of shops.

Used Trip Advisor to find as needed somewhere to eat after a visit to the hospital. Very light, clean and spacious cafe. Mum had cheesy chips which were lovely. I had a maxi breakfast which included 1 extra choice. It was lovely bacon and fresh mushrooms, as well as a tasty sausage. Dad had a jacket potato with beans and coleslaw. The potato was very small and the coleslaw not very pleasant. Tea and coffee was good.

Love this cafe. Popped in for a bit of brunch and as always had a good experience. Freshly cooked food with a smile and a chat. My friend used to own this cafe and I helped with some of the work whilst in was being refurbished and it is still in good shape with good food. Try it out. Enjoy.

Delicious food, you get exactly what you ask for. The staff are very nice and polite. Always a good place for you and your family or friends to hang out for breakfast and lunch.

Great food with friendly cheerful staff

Good food and good staff but quite pricey

Excellent food and friendly staff

Good value full English breakfast. Great service, very clean, recommend. never tried the lunch or sandwiches but breakfast excellent.

Always love popping into Doorsteps - loads of room and tables to sit at, great choices on the menu and all cooked fresh to order. Reasonable prices too. Friendly staff and great food - we will always return for all day cooked breakfasts!

What a lovely little cafe, nice and friendly staff and great food 😊 Reasonable prices and quick service. Would definitely visit again in the future.

A lovely café with cooked breakfast the way it tastes like at home. Plus they do fresh loaves of bread every day

Good food clean and tidy cafe. Extremely nice ladies to serve you with a smile. Bit pricey but you get good food exactly the way you asked for it. Good job girls. 😊😊😊😊

Found this place on Yell and it was well worth the visit Full Monti is an all day breakfast meaning it will last you all day! Good value for money and a very clean cafe in a little shopping precinct highly recommend it

Excellent menu choice and tasty food. Light and airy café and the staff are lovely. There are newspapers and magazines to look at while you are waiting. They also sell bread plus cards and gift bags.

This is a simple, quality cafe that provides cafe-sytle (e.g.ham, egg and chips, tea and cakes etc) great food at a great price.

they do the most amazing soft rolls!
