EighTea9 in Brentwood

Great tasting food, perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned.

Unfortunately not great. Jacket potatoe was, well, incinerated. The topping was okay. But simply not worth the money. Disappointing.

Weak tea. Cheap sausages. Bubble was virtually all potato.

I love the decor in this place. It's very reasonably priced and the options for breakfast are plenty. The staff are very friendly too.

Sometimes when we visit Brentwood, almost every time we go to the coffee for having lunch

This is a lovely friendly clean cafe. The food is very good and we have just ordered breakfast again through deliveroo.

I love the cute ambiance of this small restaurant! The scrambled eggs with feta cheese and chorizo on granary toast is my go-to, and it never disappoints. Despite the inconvenience of no card payments, the recent addition of bank transfers is a welcomed solution. Absolutely delicious and worth returning for!

went with friends for Sunday brunch. very busy and vibrant. service was great and the food was fresh, appetising and delicious. we will certainly be back

Unnecessary unpleasantness - the waiter would not accept Visa card for payment, he seemed to think that everyone carries a banking upon their mobile. His attitude changed what should have been a pleasant experience into an unnecessarily unpleasant confrontation.

This is by far the best place to eat in Brentwood. I go 3-4 times a week with friends or family. Food A1 staff absolutely the best. Shep and the whole team are incredible so friendly and do anything to insure your meal is fab

First visit was wonderful despite the cafe being very busy but on our second visit, the quality of the food was not up to par with the prices we paid! I understand being short staffed but one dish had been sat waiting to be picked up for almost 8 minutes with staff not prioritising the food which ruined the quality as the yolks in the eggs had become fully cooked by the time it got to the table. We were also double charged for 1 pot of tea that we shared between 2 people which is ridiculous as that was £8 alone for a single pot

Very popular little place with tasty food and friendly staff. I have had several different meals here and all were winners - photo of the scone I had recently.

Toast was burnt avocado was so thinly spread not at all 'smashed' only one slice of bread. Not good value at £10.75 Staff did not seem happy I asked for a less burnt piece of toast plus an extra slice and charged me 80p for it instead of an apology! It used to be so good but I won't go back there now sadly.

Popped in for breakfast on Saturday morning. Was seated straight away and chose what we were having. Service was prompt without feeling rushed. 1 kids meal and 1 avocado on toast. Both delicious and really well presented. Was busy but with a lovely atmosphere. Staff are so efficient and there was a steady stream of people coming and going. Cash only on that particular day which could be a problem for some. Well priced and would visit again.

Have stopped at this cafe on Brentwood high street for breakfast many times over the last few months. Good service and good quality breakfast!

Moved to Brentwood 9 months ago and while having a look on the high street I came across this wonderful place to eat. They have absolutely everything for all tastes. It’s spotlessly clean and the staff are the friendliest staff I have met. I probably go about 3 times a week taking friends with that are equally satisfied I can’t recommend this place enough

One of the nicest cafés in Brentwood with food to keep you coming back. Staff are excellent and very helpful and polite. Great selection of breakfast and lunch item, highly recommend the salt beef sandwich.

Regular lunchtime haunt for me. The seasonal menus are varied, and the food is always of good quality and well cooked. This year's Christmas dinner special is well worth the money.

We usually love coming to eightea9 but left today feeling very disappointed. My girlfriend ordered ham eggs Benedict with extra avacado. The meal first come out with no hollandaise sauce, in which we had to ask. The ham was freezing on a warmish muffin and Luke warm egg. I ordered the 8 piece breakfast. I had luke warm bacon, had to ask for the hash browns. Considering we was the first customers I find it hard to understand how there were so many mistakes and the food wasn’t piping hot. Also, there was no check back on our food. My girlfriend didn’t eat any of the ham and left most of the rest, however the waitress didn’t seem to care about that. Surely if most of the food was untouched there might have been an issue. I went up to the counter to pay and still no question if the food or anything was ok but happy to take my money anyway! I usually always leave a tip having worked in restaurants for 10+ years, but on this occasion I just didn’t feel like it was justified.

Popped into Eightea9 for breakfast and managed to get a table during the busy Sunday morning service. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our food arrived pretty quickly and was well presented. The choice of freshly juiced apple juice or from the carton was a nice touch. My favourite was the breakfast wrap, which was pretty substantial, very tasty and would only be improved if there was the option to have a sauce added in.

Es un lugar que me encanta. Son muy rápidos, amables y encantadores. La comida deliciosa y el ambiente muy familiar, como en casa. Siempre que podemos vamos allí, muy recomendable

Food is good, not too special, coffee ok. Staff very rude and service has gone very downhill. Staff have quite the attitude

Had bits of tuna on my vegetarian sandwich. Salad was a bit on the turn too unfortunately.

I have been here a couple of times and very very impressed both times with service staff and food will be my go to now

Handily located right on the High St, with a couple of small pavement tables. Only had tea, but it was good and served in a decent mug.

I've been wanting to go here for years and finally got the chance just yesterday. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there yesterday. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to all 🤗.

Very bland food with no taste at all. Overpriced for quality/portion size.

Friendly staff good fresh breakfast, clean and reasonably priced.

Always love my lunch and the friendly atmosphere see you soon x

A great place for brunch. Cosy and has a local feel. Friendly staff and great food choices. Cash only when we went.

Spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely. The food was so good. We even asked where they get their sausages as they are delicious and I am very fussy. Will definitely come back time and time again.

Lovely pleasant environment. Lovely Chai Tea!

Excellent restaurant. Really good menue and first class service. Conveniently situated on Brentwood High Street. Efficiency and friendliness combined with old world charm makes this a must for everyone. This surprisingly unique restaurant is highly recommended.

Great local Brentwood Cafe, definitely worth a visit. Cash only 💵

Nice pancakes 🥞 will come again

Great atmosphere. Lovely food and brilliant staff

Very good fresh cooked food presented very well. Staff very nice and friendly would recommend

Ordered from deliveroo twice now, first time food was amazing but milkshake had 0 taste and left a 1* review due to a deliveroo error on app and wouldn't let me change it, so ordered another today so could leave a 5* review and ordered 2x chips, even left a tip by rounding up to the nearest £. To my horror there was not a single chip in the pack, was this revenge I don't know and a real shame because I thought I found the place to order my weekly breakfast from. Guess the search continues.

Missing items that I paid extra for. Quality of salad was disappointing too. Wouldn't order again.

Pot of Tea was Leaves, with an uncertain flavour, also not too hot. Not given a choice between Loose or Tea Bags We consider the food was not good value for money. Also surprised it was cash only.

Lovely decor, friendly staff and overall nice local café. Coffee also made well

Won’t be visiting again. It’s gone downhill since last time we were there. Mouldy cheese in my baguette

We’ve been here a few times before and it was good but today was so disappointing. Mould in the cheese baguette 🤢 And the other chheese sandwich was so messy. Won’t be going there again.

Best cafe & menu in Essex! Very fair prices. Lovely staff, nothing is too much trouble & all very polite & friendly. Food is excellent!

Very tasty pancakes 🥞 and lovely staff . Was looked after very well

Don't take debit cards........cash only. !!

The eggs benedict was very good

Sometimes you stumble on a gem. Had a fantastic breakfast here. Lovely staff. Great value. Big recommendation.

First time there, very impressed. I had a cheese and ham toastie, which came with a side salad I wasn't expecting. Nice touch. Nice and clean, friendly staff and will be going back.

Lovely lady serving (not the Manager). Very over-priced takeaway cake. £3.50 for teeny slice. Cake was nice enough, but disappointed as thought the portion was a cheek. Much better off going to the Larder for takeaway cake - better price, better portions.

It's really nice there, but I had an English breakfast the other day and got a really"slimey" egg! I should have asked for "over easy" but the chef should know how to cook an egg! ☹️Put me right off.

Lovely breakfast and staff in masks, tables spaced apart to make you feel safe.Friendly staff a good local business to support.

I went here a few weeks ago with my partner and our baby whilst visiting Brentwood, we entered the place hoping it would be a nice family local business and hoping to have nice food. However, sadly one of the worst places we had eaten in our entire life. Food was terrible, we ordered avocado toast with asparagus, spinach and poached eggs and it was absolutely terrible, the egg was hard and the avocado toast was tasteless and dry. On top of that the service none, they saw we couldn't finish the dish and they never asked any question regarding how the food was. Additionally we could hear the chef who seemed to be the owner of the place shouting at her staff from the kitchen making the vibe really awkward. I will definitely never come back unless they change. I feel bad for leaving this review due to the current circumstances we are living in nowdays but since their customer service was non existent I think it will help them to know what customers think in order to improve.

Had breakfast on a Saturday morning. Very fresh, good quality ingredients. Menu has lots of different (delicious) options and reasonably priced. Lots of tables removed to keep social distance and one of the better places I have visited in terms of adapting for covid! Would definitely recommend!

Great local cafe serving quality food

Lovely place, brilliant staff very tasty food. Highly recommend.

Friendly with good selection of drinks and lunches.

Very nice little tea room with good breakfast.

Excellent service warm and welcoming

Very nice fresh clean tasty breakfast. Highly Recommend 👌

Great place for a quick bit of lunch, always leave with a smile.

Hot drinks with breakfast sandwich....toilets available

Cosy atmosphere, good choice of delicious food and great service - great brunch venue - suits all ages and price points!

Whilst shopping in Brentwood we have always been tempted to pop into this Cafe for a bite to eat. At last we ventured in, it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Food extremely fresh and well presented. Great cafe and well priced for the quality of the food. It was good to see it was busy. Highly recommend.

Lovely independent cafe In Brentwood high street that does an inexpensive fry up breakfast! Quick service and good food.

Busy, cheap and cheerful. Staff were attentive

It's 2020, and this place is cash only (which makes me really suspicious).

The pot of tea was great. Leaves and not a dust teabag

Wide range of Delicious meals to be had...Very attentive at the table..

Lovely cafe. Great table teacups with sugars in. Tables a little close together. Food good. Had all day breakfast .parking abit difficult. Staff could have been friendlier. Reasonable prices for Brentwood.

Good well cooked food. Great staff.

Great food, comfortable surroundings and great service.

Abosulty love this place. There is sometimes a bit of a wait because it is so popular. Food excellent. Service with a smile

Love this place, staff always friendly and menu options varied and delicious, it's our little treat on a Saturday. Pete & Kim

Went here on a Sunday morning, the food was delicious, good portions and freshly cooked. Service was very friendly. Would def recommend

Food is great and a nice change from other places on the high street. Usually pretty busy but worth a short wait.

We always loved another cafe in brentwood but decided to try this place about a year ago and we've never looked back. Always such great customer service even when its busy, food is always great and its a very relaxed chilled environment. If i had to say anything negative, its cash only, i don't carry cash but theres a cash point just across the road so its absolutely fine!!

Stopped by for a breakfast. Absolutely gorgeous and the surroundings are nice too. Throughly recommended.

The food was great and the staff are lovely. It’a also very reasonably priced so I will definitely be back!

Great cafe in Brentwood High Street. Excellent service, comfortable environment, tried the breakfast and well pleased. Back today for lunch. The liver and bacon was superb and Mrs C. very much enjoyed the chilli con carne. Not expensive either.

Nice food Shame they don't take card payment

Very nice brunch. They did a special for me of smoked salmon, avocado and bacon on a muffin.

Friendly staff. Good service. Average standard food and drink, but available at a decent price. Clearly popular with the locals, and why not?

Quintessentially a lovely Tea shop. Food, drinks ka and service great.

Good menu with specials, we ordered pancakes and Avocado smash, both were good. Staff friendly and food arrived promptly even though it was busy

Friendly and a nice aroma eminates from the shop

Bit pricey and over rated. Wouldnt go again to be fair. Customer service was great but, if you're a cafe, be a cafe... if you want to be more upmarket then dont sell yourself as a cafe... a spoonful of baked beans with a chunk of toast was not value for money at all...

As a Brentwood local I bemoan (probably too much!) the lack of not only independent eateries but that those that are not chains are personalityless basic cafes/restaurants with uninspiring food/decor/service. You won’t go hungry in Brentwood but to find a place that doesn’t just go with the stock standard sandwich/panini/jacket for lunch (although they do great versions of those as well) and in a art deco style tasteful cafe with great service despite being busy..try EighTea9. Not only can you order off their diverse menu but they do build your own breakfasts and sandwiches too which is right up my alley and very good options for vegetarians/vegans. I’ve eaten there twice and had multiple trips for coffee and it hasn’t disappointed.

A regular weekend breakfast spot for me. Always great service and delicious food.

absolutely love this place. Best breakfast on the hogh street

Good customer service this morning. A bit of a mix up with our breakfast this morning, but the manager recognised their error and didn't charge for our breakfast. Well done and thanks again, we'll be back for sure.

Really enjoyed our visit. Excellent coffee...really good wraps and lovely staff. Will return. No wonder it was busy.

Great attentive service from the waitress team. Such a relaxing atmosphere. I went for the Mediterranean Breakfast - absolutely delicious. My fiancé went for the smashed avo on toast, with halloumi - also blown away. Our first time going here and we will be coming back!

I love it here! It is always very clean, relaxing and has a cosy atmosphere. Staff are so lovely and caring. I just love it so much.

Dreadful experience. Sunday morning breakfast, waited 25 minutes, it was cold! Told waiter, he took it away, returned it cold! Said it was a 'fresh one' but it came back minus the original sausage!

Myself and my wife went to eightea9 after we read the reviews stating how good it was .we went in and the cafe was quite busy but not crowded. Our breakfast took about 20 minutes to come and unfortunately was cold,we told the waiter who was very apologetic and went off to deal with it, another 20 minutes later the second breakfast came and that was also luke warm .when my wife went to pay the lady who seemed to be the owner just said "That's what happens when we are busy". She begrudgingly took off the price of the two teas but totally dismissed my wife's concerns...Very bad customer service to say the least

My second visit to this restaurant and, again, I was not disappointed.

Decent brunch and friendly, hard-working staff. But why cash only? It’s a prime position on the busy main road and seemed to be continually full, so must be turning over a decent amount of money. Would rather pay a bit more and know it’s def going through the books....
