Fresco in Rochford

Our 2nd visit to this lovely cafe. The cheddar waffle topped with hot salt beef, poached eggs and hollandaise was delicious. We both opted for a white americano, such a good quality coffee. Staff friendly and attentive, we will most definitely be back soon.

Always a nice welcome. Cakes are FANTASTIC. Good value for money. Lovely food and a relaxed setting. This is our Friday ‘go to’. Had afternoon tea in January too, really lovely and excellent value. Can’t think of one negative thing to say.

A mate of mine and I met up here for our semi regular breakfast / chance to put the world to rights, having never ventured here before. It was his suggestion and a very good one ! The service was friendly and prompt without being rushed. The food, excellent. I had the waffles with maple syrup and bacon and it was delicious - a superb blend of flavours and a good sized too..accompanied by a lovely latte. ( Which is extra). My mate went for the English breakfast which looked good (no grease) and his verdict was a big thumbs up. The ambience of the venue is nice too and I think this could be our go to place for future catch ups... Highly recommended.

2nd visit.. Just to check I wasn't wrong at 1st visit...outstanding! My waffles bacon & maple syrup perfect...coffee just perfect too! Took away carrot cake...wow wow wow the best I've ever had! You just quite simply HAVE to go here...I would suggest booking though!

My wife and I I absolutely love this gem of a cafe. The food is fabulous. I have no idea how the chef/chefs make everything taste so fantastic. Their bubble and squeak is to die for. Everything is cooked fresh and presented beautifully. All top quality ingredients I must also compliment the ladies that serve who always remember us and are very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend everybody to visit. Well done

Lovely little cafe that me and my boyfriend have only just noticed after living here for 2 years, will defo be our new go to! They serve cakes, hot food, pastries, milkshakes and the serve meat from a local farm. Such friendly stuff too! 🥰

A little gem of a cafe - delicious home-made cakes (the gluten-free carrot cake is to die for!), a choice of freshly baked sausage rolls that melt in the mouth (they sell quickly so get in there early) and an excellent cooked breakfast with quality sausages. Staff are always friendly and it’s very dog-friendly. Love it!

Friendly and welcoming cafe. Great food 5* It’s hard to find such a good quality cafe, we both had breakfasts and it was delicious.

My wife had pulled pork on toast, My Granddaughter had poached egg on cheese on toast and I had haddock on cheese on toast with a poached egg and spinach. All three of us had special flavour coffees. Absolutely fantastic food. We have always had great meals there. Will be back.

Since opening, I now use this lovely venue for all my business meetings and my guests are always impressed! So last Friday,my wife and I came here for a breakfast treat and I decided to try the Belgian waffle with bacon and maple syrup! Wow, not very healthy but absolutely lovely if you have a sweet tooth like me! This place never disappoints and I would thoroughly recommend it!

We moved to Rayleigh a year ago, and have been to Fresco several times. Staff always welcoming and frendly, and never any problem with the food. Some nice, unusual things on the menu. Well worth a visit.

My wife managed to get away from her office for a hour to celebrate her birthday (no easy task!) so we decided to try Fresco which opened earlier this year on the walk to the one of the local primary schools. This property has had a couple of incarnations since we started to doing the school runs many years ago but has most recently been lovingly converted into a coffee shop / café. The transformation is amazing both inside and out. My wife ordered the poached smoked haddock on toasted Welsh rarebit topped with a poached egg and I had the hot salt beef with pickles and mustard. Both were delicious and highly recommended! My wife, who is American, had the pumpkin spice latte which reminded her of home and Thanksgiving. If you're looking for somewhere local and family run (with really friendly staff!) to enjoy breakfast or lunch definitely give Fresco a try. Tables can be booked which is useful too.

Recently opened,this is a really nice local cafe serving breakfast and lunch and a nice selection of coffee and cakes.
