Queenies in Chelmsford

Delicious food and very friendly service - so impressed and we will be back again soon. Especially recommend the pancakes with bacon.

Our family tradition is to have a celebratory birthday meal for our Triplets. The food never, ever dissapoints and the staff are always warm, welcoming. Please visit when you can. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our children's 11th birthday brunch so memorable and for singing happy birthday 🎂 🎉 🎁 🎈

Just had breakfast. Quality of good was incredible, the staff wonderful and lovely vibe! Well priced for the quality of good.Can highly recommend, will be returning ❤️❤️❤️

Have been several times before and all fine. Went today during a quiet period about 2pm. We ordered drinks and food. We were told at time of ordering they had run out of granary but we were told we could have sourdough bread for which we opted. The meals came first after 10 minutes at which point we asked waitress for our drinks. These eventually arrived when we were halfway through our food. On paying we queried the amount as felt it was a bit high for what we had. Was told that we were being charged £2 each for the sourdough bread. £4 in total extra which was not notified to us at time of ordering. The staff showed no interest in resolving the issue, which was unfortunate as we had enjoyed previous visits. We appreciate that dogs are accommodated on outside table but at time of visit there were 2 dogs at adjacent table and another behind us being fed sausages inside the cafe where we were. Not the best environment to eat and drink in the middle of town so we won’t be returning.

I highly recommend eating here! The staff are very welcoming and the food is to a very high standard. I had the fluffy pancakes and they were delicious, the fruit and flowers made it look as beautiful as it tasted.

Straight off the bat, the specials board looked amazing. Old classics with new twists. Ended up ordering the Brunch Brekky and freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s expensive but you get what you pay for - the food was served quickly and was cooked perfectly… poached eggs were soft with a little give before the yolk splurged onto the sour dough. Home made haricot beans were very tasty as were the signature sausages and crispy bacon. The service was great - a real personal touch from each of the staff on a busy Saturday morning! Generally surprised by this little find and I urge anyone to give it a try… you won’t be disappointed!

Really great food and brilliant service will defo recommend to friends. They even looked after and spoiled my sevice dog Tinks.

Came in during the week- was greeted by friendly, happy staff! I had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows- what a treat!! Wow I didn’t want to drink it as it looked so amazing!! And my friend had a fresh orange juice which was lovely- it’s great you can see it being made in the machine too! Food came out quickly everything was tasty and you could tell it was all cooked fresh to order. The swirl sausages are quirky! Overall attentive, lovely staff, great music! And fantastic food- worth a visit!! Thank you very much queenies! Will be back again very soon!

We went to Queenies, Chelmsford for the first time today and we'll be coming back! Lovely friendly staff, warm welcoming cafe & fab menu. The food was great & you could tell ts was made to order and not been sitting around! Great start to the weekend! Thanks Queenies.

My actual names Ian I came here at lunch time with my mum I have to say I’d recommend this place to anyone the best food ever and they do the best bacon sandwiches I’ve ever had friendly staff who do a great job I’d give it 200 out of 10 stars if I could it’s the bestest place to have breakfast or lunch or dinner and they do the best burgers and chips

What a great place, such a lovely welcome, staff were great, so polite and attentive. We visited for brunch. I can highly recommend the food. I’m a bit annoying always like to add something or take something away, it was no problem!

Went for breakfast at this restaurant on Sunday morning, greeted by lovely friendly staff, quickly served, the food is made with top notch ingredients and beautifully cooked, had a problem with beans not being hot and sorted straight away, will come here again and again when in Chelmsford .

The staff were very polite. Francesca and Nicole were delightful. Lovely music, cosy atmosphere, hot brewed coffee and egg sandwich. Perfect Sunday morning.:)

I went here for breakfast a couple of weeks ago and was served by Nicole and Emma, with a receipt saying Merry Christmas 🎅 very welcoming experience and delightful experience. I'll be back soon! Delicious bacon and sausage sandwiches!

Just had brekkie for the first time here today. Met by a lovely friendly team. We were served quickly and food arrived promptly. I never bother with reviews normally but have to say it was the best veggie breakfast I have had for a long time. I would strongly recommend their avocado on sourdough toast and I will definitely return…….. maybe for lunch as I’m here for the day !

Popped in this morning after a meeting. Never been in before, my husband spotted Queenies when we parked up and wanted a coffee, as he’s been to their sister cafe in Billericay. Well I’m so glad we did! We ended up having breakfast too. He...

I visited Queenie's on a recent day trip to Chelmsford. I was pleasantly surprised to find Gluten and Dairy Free options on the menu as I often struggle to find allergen friendly food on the go. My waitresses Emma and Nicole were lovely, bubbly and...

If you’re looking for food in Chelmsford, look no further! Queenies have the best breakfast in town. The scrambled eggs are incredible!

Food was very tasty, Prices were good and the service from Emma was brilliant, 10/10 recommend for an English breakfast.

Wow those pancakes are amazing, loved the presentation and the taste!! The freak shakes also topped off our brunch. There was a lovely lady working there called Liz, big thank you to her for being so kind to my kids giving them something to draw...

We came as a group of 6 with grandkids and friends. The service was excellent Nicole had ensured we had a good table and provided excellent service. Her decoration for Halloween was brilliant which the kids loved. One of my granddaughters has an allergy to...

We were walking through town and popped into queenies having never been before as it looked super cool decorated for Halloween. We had a tea, mocha (which was amazing btw), sausage, bacon and mushroom sandwich and scrambled egg on toast with sausage. It was delicious...

I'm not sure why the previous reviews are bad mouthing this place - this has the cheapest and tastiest coffee to go with 5 different variations of milk! £2.50! The smoothies are vegan too, from the look of it as I wanted to see what...

Enquired about vegan options as my granddaughter is dairy free and was told everything could be. Sadly misleading. Why no pancakes when oat milk can be used? Why no bubblegum milkshake? No children's menu!!!!! Very disappointing. Expensive and rather unwelcoming atmosphere

Upon booking I had spoke to a lady that works at queenies to ask her about allergens as my daughter is dairy intolerant. She assured me that everything is vegan even down to the butter. So without hesitation I booked for my daughters 11th birthday...

I have found it so hard to find good coffee, and this place ticked all the boxes. It was a very busy little cafe with very friendly staff. I did not try the food. However, the breakfast meals that I saw coming out looked very...

We Had a couple of classic breakfast and coffees, all was very good, quality food, cooked very well and great value for money, pleasant decor, comfy warm cafe for brunch, highly recommend, great service

We had a really nice lunch in Queenies! The food was delicious & the staff are really helpful and lovely

When visiting Chelmsford I always pay a visit here and recommend this place be it breakfast time or lunch. Sadly on my recent visit where I only had a limited time to eat lunch, we ended up having to walk out. The staff are always...

Absolutely 💯 well done to Tracy and Olivia. Excellent service. Good breakfast and coffee. What's not to like? Definitely coming back Jan

Once you find your way to Queenies you won’t eat anywhere else when you come shopping in Chelmsford. Amazing food fresh up to date but familiar enough that you will be spoilt for choice lovely service as well

First of all, I was greeted by the most pleasant and helpful young lady. I run a pub and I would certainly be proud to employ her. She was nothing short of brilliant. The coffee was excellent and the toast was lovely thick slices. Recommended

I went with my two daughters we were welcomed with a big smile at the door and then seated by our waitress called Katie. We ordered two fish finger sandwiches and egg and advocate toast. When it came out we were very surprised with how...

Absolutely delicious food, really lovely all day brekkie with twist. Perfect service too. Can’t fault it. Even the price is pretty good!

Absolutely appalling, wait was very long , a very sarcastic rude server , non child friendly menu Fluffy pancakes are more like a suet cake Food arrived cold and salty , NOT WORTH £45 ! such a shame

Such a shame the lady serving was rude and surly. One word angry responses without even looking up. Very surprising. As a result just stuck with drinks instead of meal as planned! Freakshakes amazing so 1 Star!

Our servers made this experience so much better went for brunch with my boyfriend and was not disappointed the staff and food along with the atmosphere of the place made this a 10/wow experience. Will definitely be returning

We received excellent services from all the front of house staff. The food was brilliant and very filling. I’d also recommend the milkshakes, they were amazing! It was a shame we weren’t able to leave a tip on the card machine as I had no...

We went into this cafe with children. The food was served over an hour after getting the drinks despite being the only customers in there! Eggs were cheap and congealed and there was at least 20 minutes between our meals turning up. This inconvenience cost...

Not the cheapest place but worth every penny. Great service, the ladies always go out of their way to make room for the buggy and look after me when I go in with my little girl. Food is delicious. If you want a nice lunch...

Had a lovely breakfast along with a nice cup of tea, I was served by such a lovely waitress called liz, she went above and beyond to make me feel welcome will definitely be back.

What a gem! Found via TripAdvisor looking for gluten free brunch spot and was not disappointed. I actually had gluten-free pancakes - amazing. Such a treat. Quirky decor inside. Generous portion sizes. Gluten-free options. And friendly staff. Will be back.

Iv been to Queenies loads of times so much so that the young lady there knows what i have and what my daughter has, which is great.....but today i was disgusted with the food i was given. i always have pancakes fruit and bacon and...

Val, Pria and Ellie were so friendly and helpful. They accommodated my allergies and made room for our buggy. The food was delicious and served promptly. We had a bacon and egg sandwich and an ultimate breakfast! The swirly sausage was amazing and bought from...

Having read the other reviews, we decided to have breakfast at Queenie's. Worst decision of the day. Service was horrible. It must've taken at least 30 mins between ordering our food and actually having it brought to our table. We had our child with us,...

Had breakfast here a few times now absolutely lovely . Pancakes large and fluffy lots of crisps bacon . It’s not cheap but lovely for a treat every now and then. Definitely be back

Amazing home-made food. Nothing out of a packet here. Baked beans, but better than Heinz. First time, won’t be last. I had the Ultimate Breakfast which was bakers toast, moist scrambled egg that tasted like it was just made, homemade baked beans, a coiled sausage,...

This little gem of a place was recommended by a family member...we tried Queenie's last week for the first and have already come back for a second visit a week later! The service, food and atmosphere are excellent. Looking forward to next time.

First ever visit with my wife, daughter and dog. The welcome, service and food was excellent. Served by the very friendly and charming Lois and Antonia and the young man whose name we didn't get. Very tasty brunch and catered well for my vegan daughter....

Food was absolutely delicious and gorgeous, greeted well at the door, but I felt a bit humiliated by the waitress when I ordered. Me, my partner and his brother decided to go for lunch and we ordered about £70 worth of food. While we were...

Nice food but expensive. Ordered individual items rather than a set breakfast. Sausage Egg, Bacon Beans, toast and a coffee - £15.85.

Such a lovely little find !! The most delicious brunch and delicious smoothie. Liz and Ellie served us they were kind and helpful . Will defo be back !!

Brilliant,we were served by Antenia such a lovely waitress. Very welcoming, the service & food was 1st class . I am gluten free ( not from choice) & this was not a problem. Will visit again definitely

I ate here with my 6 & 8 year old today! The kids loved the Halloween decorations, the freakshake was amazing and safe to say the smashed avocado was the best I’ve had, served by really friendly staff! Will definitely return!

Visited the Billericay branch today & not impressed. First of all no children's menu & as the food is pricey anyway it annoyed us that we had to pay full price for a 3 year old who wouldn't eat a full adult portion. Had a...

I’ve been here five times and can not fault it .from ordering to finish excellent . Food is good and staff are friendly . We only go to the Chelmsford one and must try the billericay restaurant to compare 👍

Best smoothie I ever had for £4.50 strawberry and banana served in a nice glass with a straw . The young lady serving was so friendly with a beaming smile …. I defiantly want to go back again and try for coffee and lunch ....

Previous visits to queenies in billericay I have always been impressed. Unfortunately today it seemed there were too many new staff on and didn’t seem to be anyway taking charge (I completely understand everywhere needs new staff at the moment so I am in no...

Queenies is always a lovely place for breakfast and brunch. We visit both the Chelmsford and Billericay branch and love them both. The food is always delicious and better than the usual brunch on the high street. The staff are always very attentive, a lovely...

NB This review is for the Billericay branch. Went on Saturday for brunch at 11am. The waitress who took our food order was instantly abrupt, we ordered a smoothie, an OJ and an Americano plus sour-dough, poached eggs and bacon and a classic breakfast. No...

I’m so glad Queenies has reopened as I’ve really missed my weekend visits. Lovely coffee and really friendly and efficient staff, I always enjoy my visits!

Young lad name Sam was absolutely! Great customer service and a big warm smile. Very friendly boy and made our visit to Queenies go that extra mile. His a great to that cAfe and the team

popped in with daughter after doing Christmas shopping food lovely as always staff friendly and helpful

My husband and I made a rare visit to Chelmsford and decided to try Queenies as it is very close to the market which usually means the food will be good! It was excellent. All the food was very good quality, nicely cooked and we...

My wife and I came here for breakfast this morning and it was simply amazing food. The service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. This place is by far the best cafe in Chelmsford.

Visited here a couple of times now and the coffee is exceptional. This time I added a salted beef sandwich to my usual latte. Which again was really nice and tasty. The service is always top class and special thanks to Sam, Kelsie and especially...

Came here for the first time and i loved it! The food was fan and the staff were wonderful. Looking for an excuse to go back

We came shopping in Chelmsford and was looking for something for lunch ( not many cafes about ) & found this coffee shop. Got a friendly welcome & given a menu,we chose to have bacon sarnie & 1 portion of fries. We ordered 2 cups...

1st visit to this cafe, so impressed with the service and friendly staff. Had smashed avocado and poached egg on toast, really tasty and very nicely presented. Will definitely return!

I visited today with a family member and was very disappointed. I've been for a meal a few times before here and it had been good. Both me and my family member ordered poached eggs and the eggs on both meals arrived stone cold. We...

Visited this place for the third time today, hospitality at its very best. Greeting people sincerely and ensure there is just the right amounting contact throughout their stay even anticipating people’s needs, very consistent food, haven’t found better coffee anywhere else in the area. can’t...

Second visit here - definitely my new favourite place to eat brunch in Chelmsford!! Absolutely delicious and staff very friendly See you soon

I was stuck in Chelmsford for the day and happened across this place. Really lovely food, attentive service and great coffee. Definitely reccomend!

this is the first time I have been here and it was lovely. the service was really good and the food was beautiful.

Hi, Went to Queenies Today ( 18/09/2019 ) Ordered Classic Brunch, with Hash Brown's and a Cup of Tea !!, £12.60p I was Charged, I assumed Potato Cakes were Hash Brown's? Truly Belive I got Ripped Off Won't Ever be Going back there and will...

Didnt think it would be as nice as it was but had a eggs Benedict, and it was so lovely, lovely thick crusty bread perfect poached eggs, ham, really nice and coffee is tasty. One of the eggs on my friends plate was already cracked so they brought out another one without asking, good service deffo recommend for brekki or lunch :)

Very disappointing. Menu looked great and waiting staff were very friendly but everything was cold. We sent it back and still came back cold. The hash browns were actually still frozen in the middle. The poached eggs were cold and it all says cooked fresh to order which cannot be true as it came up very quickly. A real shame as I want to support a local restaurant but at £28 for two rubbish breakfasts it’s just not worth it. I was given back £2.50 for the hash browns!!! A real shame as the menu looked great and had real potential.

Firstly, apologies to the staff as I wanted to give a tip but couldn’t put it on my card when I paid..

Was served by a friendly service, really kind staff, food was good and everyone treats you really pleasantly despite a young group of workers, except Phoebe.

I went to Queenies in Billericay Essex it was my second visit in two weeks, good food

Wanted to take my two sons here as I had been here previously with my hubby and enjoyed it. Thought they would jump at the chance of having a Freakshake each, but no...one chose a burger, and the other a fish finger sandwich. I had a decent slice of coffee and walnut cake. After ordering at the desk, our drinks came out first; and the food a few minutes later. I've been here before, and I will come back again. Food is lovely, the menu has a lot to choose from, and the staff (Chelmsford) are patient and polite.

Went asked for a Salt Beef Sandwich to take away. Girl said do you want to see menu.

First; a complaint to TripAdvisor:!

We stumbled across Queenies when we went to Chelmsford markets for the first time and we would definitely be back for breakfast. The pancakes are the best Iv ever had, icecream for breakfast is a bonus too! The berries and banana is all nice and fresh too. If we ever come back to Essex I’m definitely going back to Queenies. Not only was the food amazing but so was the staff!

First of all. This is based on my experience of the new Billericay branch, I wasn’t able to find it on TA!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat on Saturday morning. Had myself the cold breakfast. Which at the best of times would be hard to make look attractive but the chef clearly took the time to make this dish look as appealing as possible and it was a joy to eat as I am very big on enjoying the aesthetics of what I am eating. As for the decor you will not find a trendier looking establishment in Billericay. And yet it isn't pretentious as the staff are so attentive and approachable will definitely be revisiting and maybe taking a trip to the Chelmsford store. Ps take a leek at the loos very very well done....

First time visit for breakfast. The thing that instant struck was just how expensive the place is. I work in the City and usually pay a premium at times however the prices here were just as expensive for food that was not as nice. Granola with yoghurt and fruit for example was not what I expected. The granola was nice, the yoghurt ok but the fruit wasn’t good - it was fruit cocktail out of a tin!! I was expecting some blueberries or raspberries for the price at £4.95!

Yess!!!!! Billericay branch is amazing this places is so cool ,

I had to try Queenies Billericay after hearing so many good things from friends. And was I pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere was amazing, the staff are really friendly and could not do enough for us and last but not least the food was amazing and fresh. Everyone was enjoying themselves and for that I will be coming back!! I was too full to have a freakshake but next visit I am going to leave room because they look amazing, the look on all the kids faces when they come out is priceless.

3rd time there this month. Eggs Royale salmon smelt of ammonia. 3rd time had a bad belly.

Went this morning. My friend can only eat Halal meat which i understand cannot be catered for everywhere. But a simple swap Bacon for Fish Fingers would of not been too hard. She was quite rude about it. At least could of asked the chef.

Asked staff on several occasions to turn the music down, the boom boom reparative heavy base is simply annoying when trying to catch up with friends.

Service was really slow, so slow in fact we had to ask to order and other customers left as they were bored. The music was so loud we couldn't chat easily but the milkshake and food were good.

Beautiful decor, staff were lovely and the food was flawless. Definitely be back! Fish Finger Sandwich - 5 star. Sean

Visited after seeing the eye catching exterior 😍 gorgeous decor inside with cool tolix chairs outside. Menu & what people were eating looked amazing. Only came for coffee but it was good. Lovely kind waitresses, will be back to eat! Or maybe a freakshake!

Recently came across queenies on Instagram and loved how unique the restaurant looked. The food also looked great. Therefore, thought I would give it a visit! I’m so happy I did. I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door and then continued to have fantastic customer service throughout. The staff are very bubbly and attentive. The place was very well kept and clean. I ordered the fruit pancakes which were very fresh and had the perfect amount of syrup.

Had the breakfast ok but beans so dry eggs undercooked be going back to city diner and not so expensive there

Came here with my son for lunch, paid £6.95 for a sausage and egg sandwich,which is no issue however it was so small I wanted to ask where the other half was. Certainly not worth that expense. Upon asking if they have anything suitable for children and I was told they only had toast. So I asked for Nutella on toast, I was given one slice of the same tiny bread that came with my sandwich and when I was charged £2.95 for one slice of tiny toast, I was astonished. Would not come back here again.

Really enjoyed the food, staff were friendly and it was a great price! Would definitely go back for brunch as we went for breakfast.

Excellent food. Excellent coffee. Fantastic owners. Clean, comfy and quirky coffee shop. All day breakfasts and salt beef lunches are amazing.
