Loubees Tea Room in Chelmsford

Fantastic pre booked afternoon tea of cakes and sandwiches with plain scones . Originally booked for 4 people but extra person came as well and as we had let them know the day before it was sorted out fine. The food was lovely and so much for £12.95 a head. Service was excellent and very efficient. Would definitely book again.

Went to Loubees Tearoom on moulsham street for the first time a few days ago. There was a group of us. Firstly, the food 🤌💯 with an all day breakfast menu and also a lunch menu. Cakes tasted AMAZING! And the staff and tearoom were superb - super attentive, friendly and just awesome. So rare to find such great customer service lately! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Lovely food, friendly staff, will return. I had poached eggs on toast. The granary bread was gorgeous and lovely thick slices

First visit to this cafe and I'd definitely return. The dog friendly courtyard is beautiful. Food and service amazing with plenty of choice.

This was a very lucky find We only went in for coffee while we waited for friends I phoned them to meet us and we stayed for lunch It was excellent service and value for money Will definitely return

Walk-in for bread pudding - wasn’t nice at all, way too much cinnamon (which I don’t believe is a traditional ingredient) couple of bites, had to throw away. Over priced. Such a shame..I’ll keep looking for that magical moment of bread pudding.

Incredible food at such a good price!! Beautiful setting and the staff are so lovely. 10 out of 10.

Come with my husband for breakfast!! All was cooked perfectly and good quality produce! Which is a must must!! Husband had cake and he loved!! Look forward to coming back! Thank you x

Really friendly staff backed up a varied and excellent menu. Good portions and very tasty food. Happy to recommend a visit

Chelmsford was our chosen pit stop to break our 3hr journey. Came across this tearoom on line and reviews looked good. We phoned ahead to book once we were en route and I'm glad we did as it was reassuringly busy. We had a baguette and an omelette and salad. The omelette was beautiful and we ate every last bit of our lunches. We then had a homemade warm scone each with cream and jam. 😋 There is plenty of seating inside and out. Beware of the 1hr street parking though as very strict. We moved our car to the nearby carpark so that we didn't have to rush. Couldn't fault this lovely cafe and the ambience was an added extra. Staff very friendly and helpful too.

Dropped in to this sweet café for lunch. Very friendly welcome and service. The food was really tasty, and in particular the desserts were huge! I took some home with me :-) All the staff were helpful, checking in that things were fine, telling us about he recipes and just very pleasant. Will definitely be back!

Nice place, friendly staff. Plenty of choice in the menu for hot food and cakes. Nice all-day breakfast. There's further seating upstairs and a courtyard out the back

Had my daughter Baby shower here and was so pleased I did! I asked that our afternoon tea had more savoy than cakes as that’s what we preferred and it was no trouble at all. Natalie and Tanya looked after everything we needed for the afternoon Thankyou Loubees for making my daughters Baby Shower special x

Wonderful service, always greeted with a friendly smile. First class food, whether you are stopping for breakfast, lunch or just a slice of cake with your coffee (I recommend the coffee and walnut cake, it's amazing!).

Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious, generously portioned food. Very reasonable prices. Just loved it, and will definitely return. Highly recommended, can’t wait to visit again 👍

Late breakfast for two. Nice surroundings, good food, reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. You can book. Social distancing very good.

Lovely tearoom, great variety of food! Baguettes and Cakes were amazing, can’t wait to come back for afternoon tea - very reasonably priced. Defo worth a visit if you’re in Chelmsford!

Great food, fantastic atmosphere, Pleasant staff, prompt service and very well priced! I went and had a breakfast and it was excellent. I'd advise anyone to visit!

So very pleased that Loubees have opened in lovely premises in Moulsham Street. The Bread pudding didn't disappoint, it was delicious. And Lemon drizzle cake moist and yummy. Can't wait to visit for breakfast.

Visiting for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Amazing service, great covid measures and just full of wonderful treats and trinkets to buy! Food is always amazing but even more wonderful since opening in Moulsham street. Price is so cheap and won’t find a better price anywhere else in the centre.

Went here because we literally parked opposite and its a free 1 hour street parking, Tea and Scones and a Muffin, Muffins are Litchfield brought in but moist and good flavour, Decent Tea in a pot, and scones with clotted cream, not the biggest scone you will find, but good all the same, sensible pricing too with friendly service, a very good tea room, full breakfast and lunch menu available, we will certainly use again when we are around town.

I’ve visited Loubees for years now and it still remains my favourite lunch time place to visit. Having introduces family and friends it has become a favourite with them too they even visit without me! Any changes you need to items on the menu they are always more than happy to accommodate. The most friendly and wonderful atmosphere is at Loubees.

Loubees gave us not just an amazing breakfast but amazing service. We fiddled and faffed with our order, changed this and that, and their patience and flexibility was wonderful. Great service, great food.

I found Loubees thru a friend and after many visits I took my husband. The ploughman's lunch was huge and very reasonably priced.. sandwiches and big full English breakfast were tasty and freshly made to order. Great service and friendly staff.. the d for was charming and it is always full of customers, which to me proves the food and service were great! Carry on guys, you are doing a great job!

I visited with my mum and mother in law for an afternoon tea treat and what a treat it was. Finger sandwiches were fab and fresh, scones crumbled with deliciousness and don’t get me started on the cakes. Wow. Excellent quality, friendly staff, reasonably priced. Jolly good time had by all ❤️

Small, very nice garden centre cafe. Nice homemade cakes, snacks etc. Lovely cream teas. Friendly staff. Sensible prices. Conservatory seating area makes the whole thing perfect.

A cup of tea was just what I needed after a long journey! Fantastic staff! Will definately come back when I'm next in the area

Visited this lovely place last Sunday morning to meet family for breakfast.Our breakfasts were all tasty and the coffee's and teas fine.The service, both at the table and the counter, was excellent - both friendly and efficient.I'd definitely recommend this venue - oh, and the Garden Centre itself is really good too!

Again.. a lovely visit to this little gem of a cafe . Food always fresh .. service with a smile and friendly . A couple was having a afternoon tea and it looked fab . So really want to have one now . Well done little loubees . You have regular customers now .x

I visited the tea room for a birthday breakfast and had a lovely meal! We both had a cooked English brekkie which tasted as good as it looked! The food was hot, fresh and very yummy. Will deffo visit again thank you!

This is such a welcoming tearoom. The staff are happy and friendly and can't do enough for you. The lunches are tasty and good value. I love this tearoom. The garden centre is really full of nice plants as a bonus.

The cafe wasn't huge but it's very nice.

Visited on a warm and sunny day so the outside seating was being used. Very friendly staff. Had a delicious bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwich. The bread was superb. One of us had a jacket with beans and the other chicken nuggets and chips. Both were very good. The cafe has been decorated with floral cotton tablecloths and drapes which are very atttactive. The coffee was very good too.

We went there for breakfast. The food took a long time to come, OK, its freshly cooked. But then they brought it out sweparately, with long waits in between, so the first person has to decide whether to start ahead of everybody else, or wait and have a COLD breakfast! Not ideal. I asked if I could have scrambled eggs instead of fried, they said yes. But when my food EVENTUALLY turned up, they had simply taken fried eggs and beaten the living **** out of them with a fork...they thought I wouldnt notice! Hanging Gardens "chef": please simply "Google" scrambled eggs, you will see the CORRECT recipe there, and there will be no mention of GBH to fried eggs.

We go regularly and are always greeted by friendly staff. The food is lovely and cooked just to your liking. Good value and nice relaxing atmosphere. You can't go wrong! We love it!

From a simple sandwich, full breakfast, jacket potatoes, fish and chips and everything in between you are made most welcome. Excellent food at good prices and bread pudding to die for.

My wife and I, along with our son do enjoy eating out and this place was recommended by,y parents who are regulars.

I have visited this little gem for the past 2 weeks for a breakfast date with my mum. The food is lovely and always well presented, the atmosphere is calm and the decor is adorable! A mother and daughter run business with all the personal touches! Like having breakfast in a home from home <3

Always such lovely food done to perfection and such friendly staff. Have been coming for years and just keeps getting better

My Mum and sister often meet up here and have a long afternoon of lunch tea, coffees and cakes. Always a good welcome and great service along with the great food.

We love Loubees, great food and friendly welcoming staff. We really enjoy our weekend visits and recommend it for tasty lunches and lovely afternoon teas.

Love this tearoom and Sue the owner, nothing is too much trouble and the food all home cooked to order. I go there for the best ever omelettes served this side of Suffolk, wouldn’t have omelette anywhere else, well done Loubees 😍

Myself and two parents came for lunch after a walk around Hylands as it’s so close. I had a jacket potato and salad, another person had a cooked breakfast, and the other had a scone with jam and cream. Everything was delicious and fresh, good portion sizes for the money. Will definitely come again, a fab little stop! The two owners are lovely too, happy to accommodate requests and very friendly.

Loubees is a delightful tearoom with a team of friendly staff and an excellent menu.The meals are consistently great. I can't think of a better tearoom and always enjoy my visits!

I take my elderly parents to lunch at Loubees on most Thursdays and we are never disappointed with the delicious food and friendly service. The staff are always very accommodating to our needs and even during busy periods, they always find time to pop over to our table for a quick chat. Mum hasn’t been well lately, so we haven’t been for a couple of months, but as soon as she is able, we are looking forward to resuming our weekly visits to our favourite tearoom!

Lovely little cafe nestled in our favourite garden centre.. especially lovely in the summer with their out door seating . I always seem to go for their omelette and chips.. it’s delicious. Husband and his friend like their breakfasts . So all in all . We really like it here . Well done Lou bees . Oh their bread pudding is divine.. massive slice lasts two days for me .

Wonderful family run tea rooms, we are always greeted with a big hello or a wave if busy....hubby loves their Ham Egg and Chips....I’m working my way through the menu 😉....we have been going a few years now and looking forward to a few more.

Always been very welcoming, everything cooked to your liking, very reasonably priced with a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend for breakfast and lunch. Can't wait to go back. (Scones are very yummy too!)

I’ve been a regular here since it opened and even though I’ve moved out of the area I still come back every week if I can. Such a lovely friendly place. I can’t fault it. 5 star service every time. Best scones I’ve had anywhere

Our first visit to the cafe. Liked the layout and conservatory. Comprehensive menu. Good service by pleasant staff. Enjoyed our lunch. Allergies catered for. Looking forward to trying their afternoon tea one day.

Had a lovely lunch here and enjoyed every bit of it. Friends also enjoyed the tea rooms and found the atmosphere lovely and relaxed especially for our disabled friends.

Visited with a friend for a drink and cake. Ended up having a tea cake for me, scone for my friend and a shared millionaires shortbread. Staff are great and the shortbread was gorgeous. We were there early morning and stayed for a while and the food that was coming out for lunch looked good and will certainly go back to taste more of the menu, although I know it gets very busy so best to get there early

I’ve been coming here for years, friendly staff, allergies catered for, reasonable priced food & an all round great place for lunch.

Nice friendly staff, very good looking homemade cakes and reasonable prices. If you are scared of chickens, please be aware they will come close and may rub against legs and will take food from fingers if sitting outside. Free Wi-fi available.

We called in on a Sunday morning not long after the garden centre and tea rooms had opened for the day and were surprised at how busy it already was. The full English breakfast was plentiful and well cooked. The staff very friendly and everything looked clean and welcoming. The choices on the menu for the whole day were many with vegetarian options too. There were tables outside in the sun , in a bright sunny conservatory and inside the tea room itself.

Thankyou Sue and family for the splendid afternoon tea today to say farewell to Mum, the food was superb and plentiful as was the tea and coffee.

Great cafe situated in a garden centre. Staff are really friendly. Limited menu but delicious home made food, cooked to order. Great breakfasts with fried bread for those who want it! Nice lunches - fish and chips, lasagne, ham egg and chips, or lots of sandwich choices. The staff allow you to tweak the menu to suit your taste. Cakes and Home made bread pudding or enormous scones for afters! Reasonably priced and definitely value for money.

This was our first visit and arrived at Midday. Could tell it was popular as there was lots of reserved tables. There is seating in a Conservatory area and outside too. Orders are placed and paid for at the Counter. We enjoyed Jacket potatoes which came with a small side salad. Menu includes soup, all day breakfasts, few hot dishes and selection of sandwich options and of course cake. Reasonably priced and good coffee.

We come here because of the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, the food is fresh and is lovely. We much prefer to support a business like this rather than a chain pub with it's frozen food. A great place

An excellent vintage afternoon tea. I visited with my mum and sister and were served with excellent service and friendly staff. The food was great too, all homemade with warm scones. Excellent price also!

From a full english to a pot of tea always enjoyable, very pleasent staff. Always clean and tidy and the bread pudding is glorious.

We recently visited to have a full breakfast to start a very busy day, both were absolutely lovely, served with tea or coffee and toast. Lovely staff, great quality food and very reasonably priced. Very welcoming and comfortable - Highly recommended and will defo be back.

I visited for the first time and had breakfast with friends. Staff were very friendly, food was yummy and reasonable prices. Well done for the veggie sausage options too! Was a little chilly but was due to the door being opened a lot so just take a cardie. Would highly recommend. X

Staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a good range to choose from. I had the best pot of tea and homemade scones with jam and clotted cream which took me back to my childhood.

A lovely tea room with a good choice of food and drinks and not over priced. Service was very good, food was lovely and fresh and the overall cleanliness was to a good standard. We will definitely return here.

This is an above average garden centre type cafe. I, and many others, have added my review under the garden centre name which is Hanging Gardens so u recommend that anyone considering visiting here also check out those reviews. Certainly one worth a visit.

We stopped here on the off chance following a gap after many previous visits. There has been some changes including a new conservatory to provide more undercover seating.

My wife and i went there today and didn't expect to find such a friendly and welcoming establishment. The" coffee machine hadn't turned up for work" but alternatives were available, including the great cup of tea I ordered.

Me and my wife popped into Loubees for some lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

We visited whilst at the garden centre and the lady who owns it was very nice. Playing good 60's music. Delicious sandwiches with trimmings.would recommend.

I have been to loubees many times and I will continue to go many times, the staff are very friendly, the food is wonderful and fresh and you get plenty for your money, you won't come out feeling hungry, the place is welcoming, clean and beautifully decorated. I read the comment about it being smoke filled and a greasy spoon well I couldn't disagree more. Definitely recommend a visit to this place, the afternoon teas and cream teas are lovely.

This cafe is small but beautiful!! Lot's of good homely cooking. It is always busy. We often go there for brunch. The English breakfast was enormous and my omelette was fresh and tasty. A pleasant place for brunch.

Great little cafe for breakfast or lunch. Good food, great value and the staff are really friendly. Specials daily and good range of cakes, cream tea's etc.

A nice place to stop and have a quick bite to eat. Good jacket potatoes and nice bread pudding. Friendly staff, good value.

We love going to Loubees for breakfast or lunch. Food is great and the staff always seem so happy. Great atmosphere in this fabulous little tearoom that gives great service and value for money.

I've been here on a number of occasions having cooked breakfasts, ploughmans lunches, or just for a lovely home made scone with jam and cream - we've never been disappointed! The tea room is attached to a fab garden centre which is great to browse around, and the tea room staff are all lovely and go the extra mile to make your visit great. Definitely recommend Especially as the staff are all dementia friendly! My grandad (who has dementia) was treated so well here.

A group of eight of us had an afternoon tea at this venue.

Cheerily decorated tea room ideal to stop by for a bite to eat and a drink.

This tearoom has expanded and they now have a nice conservatory which provides more space and more natural light. The staff are very nice and the service is good. There is ample parking next to the garden centre. What could be better than a nice breakfast or lunch followed by a browse among the plants. There are some lovely cakes on offer and if you are lucky they will have freshly baked bread pudding, just like mum or grandmother used to make. What an absolute treat. Never mind the waistline just savour the moment. Pay them a visit and see what I mean.

This tea room/café is part of a garden centre and the new owners have transformed the place. A new conservatory and outside dining area has been added and the menu is very extensive. Ranging from full English breakfasts through to lunches or snacks the staff are at your disposal. Friendly and efficient service together with good food makes this place a 'must visit'

We have been to the Tea Rooms on many occasions and they never fail to please, the service is brilliant, the food is all made to order from full breakfast to lunches and snacks.

lovely afternoon cream tea with warm fruity scones delicious sitting in the conservatory watching the blue tits nesting so relaxing

We had fish n chips which was really nice.For quite a small place there was a good choice on the menu .

We have visited this tea room on numerous occasions and have always been very pleased with our food. We are very partial to the breakfast which is available until 3pm. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
