Ravens Bakery in Brentwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Love their apple Danish!!! Very helpful waitress and they sort out light meals. Closes far too early and they make sure customers leave before 3pm as they clean before they shut. Very good coffee!

We stopped in the pleasant village on our to Southwold from Surrey. We were lucky to find it as we enjoyed a very good lunch with friendly service. Did the job and on our way.

Waited 15 minutes. Nobody served me. Others arrived and got served Left disappointed 😔 Off to find somewhere else where they can be bothered

My daughter Emma used this bakery (again) for my delicious sewing themed 70th birthday cake. Absolutely amazing. You are so talented.

We enjoyed a freshly prepared lunchtime snack here - I had the quiche and salad which I thought was a nice light choice - the slice of warm quiche was more than generous and tea was full flavoured. Pleasant people and reasonable prices too. Recommended.

I ordered a drip cake at short notice , they where so helpful and made me the most beautiful tasty moist birthday cake . I’ve had lots of birthday cakes over the yrs due to having 3 grown up children , but this cake are up there with the best . I will be buying all my cakes from ravens from now on thank very much

Delicious freshly baked goods. Never fails to delight. Their bread is sublime. The pastries eye catching amusing and seasonal. Can’t beat it!

Petit déjeuner généreux pour un prix raisonnable, le service est rapide et agréable. En plus de la formule complète, je vous conseille le gâteau au café juste une merveille

We came here for a light lunch and were quickly given the menu. There is a good selection of sandwiches, toasties and light meals. The food came quickly but, for me, didn’t have much taste, no lemon for the salmon and generally not seasoned enough. We tried the cakes but found the pastry very hard and the icing not to our taste. Maybe we were unlucky but we were disappointed.

I can only comment on Ravens the bakery, I ordered in advance 2 special sponge cakes, one lemon and one chocolate for a birthday and one for a golden wedding. While waiting to collect at around midday I noticed an array of tasty looking sandwiches and some delicious looking pastries and cakes. The “sit down” area was busy, the service good and the area was lovely and cool on a very warm day. A very kind assistant helped me carry the cakes to my car. Good service and as it turned out very good cakes!

Can often be rude at times , possibly owner or manager ! Slow on serving in cafe and bakery , even when quite . Cakes taken out of the window , dry and possibly a day old ,. When cakes are placed in paper bag , icing comes off !! Bread may only last a day before being dry !

Love this bakery, my family can’t get enough of the chia bread and the cakes are fabulous. Make sure you get there early for the artisan breads as they sell out quickly.

Having grown up in Ingatestone since birth certain childhood memories never leave you, the aroma of freshly baked bread being one of them, dig a hole in the end and the warm fluffy centre is like nectar, forget the supermarket plastic loafs, years of knowledge, experience and quality product any time for me, ok a little pricey maybe but well worth it A cheeky little cake or iced bun as a morning treat I'll take all day long over a biscuit Keep it going support the High Street, maybe a trip over the road for some smoked bacon if you want to taste heaven

Dear Trip Advisor, please can we have a GOOD category, since this cafe/bakery is deserves better than an 'average' but isn't quite VERY good... We stopped here for Breakfast over Easter. There are a limited number of tables so we waited for a few minutes. Our table was quickly cleared but our waitress was a bit stressed and I ended up wearing the contents of a milk jug...accidents happen. We ordered sourdough toast and poached eggs - very nice. Coffee was good too. As it was Easter, we bought some hot cross buns to take away. They were excellent. We returned the following day for more!

This place is a total gem. For breads, cakes, sandwiches, lunches and breakfast we have always thoroughly enjoyed whatever we have bought. Personal favourite - Bakewell Tart which I have christened "Bakewell Nirvana"

Ravens Bakery, Ingatestone, Essex It’s just over four months since we were last in the Ravens Bakery – the last time we’d been in the neighbourhood - checking on some goods that we’ve stored nearby. We did exactly the same this time round too – took a ride into Ingatestone to take coffee & brioche at the Ravens Bakery before our appointment at 09.30. The Bakery was much as we had found it last time – good coffee & brioche, comfortable setting & friendly people. There’s always this thing about a café attached to a country bakery – you find all those traditional breads, cakes and services with which you remember from, well, too many years back. Did our evaluation of the Ravens Bakery change from earlier? Well, no. Key features remain much the same, with that lack of edge that would shift the evaluation from ‘good’ to ‘very good’. (TripAdvisor, of course, does not have a ‘good’ category.) Enter the shop/café and the two sections are on either side of the main door; shop to the left and café/sit-down-area to the right. You can order at the counter – queueing with the shoppers or take a seat and the waitress will eventually find you. There is seating for a dozen people. People waiting to shop sometimes also sit in the café … waiting. We were told to take our seats, but couldn’t be certain of where to sit … most tables had neither been cleared nor had they been wiped down (if they had been cleared). The waitress apologized for not having wiped our table when she took our order. She returned and wiped the table, but others remained un-serviced. Hmmm. There were three waitresses providing services. We ordered cappuccino, caffe latte, croissant/butter/jam & apple doughnut. When the brioche arrived the croissant looked the better option and we changed our order to two croissants. The coffee was good – hot, tasty and full to the brim (in china cups). We weren’t sure which coffee was which, however, having failed to ask the waitress – they looked and tasted the same. Taking a natural break at the toilet out back – you pass through the kitchen/utility room and the open-garden seating area (dozen seats). You’d be challenged to sit out there in late September too. The toilet was clean and well-serviced. The only failing – the door would not shut/lock - it had warped. You’d be sitting there, perhaps enjoying five minutes, when the next client would yank it open and say ‘hello’. Hmmm. Prices were good – GB£2.50 each for the coffees and GB£1.25 for the croissants – GB£7.50. We enjoyed our 20 minutes breakfast at a table adjacent to the far wall. A great breakfast/morning break sort of place then, with some TLC required around the edges. Peter Steele 06 October 2017

Ravens panadería, Ingatestone, Essex, el cielo estaba propinas que mañana; habíamos conducido más de Maldon a largo plazo de bloqueo de almacenamiento fuera de Ingatestone, Home Depot y nuestro designado habían retrasado. Nos dejó un mensaje de cortesía un representante de otra empresa amable, nos montamos en la parte trasera del coche y persiguieron un café y bollos en Ingatestone. Fue 10. 00. Ese representante amable había recomendado el Ravens panadería justo debajo de la intersección de la calle High Street (la calle principal de la ciudad) y la población Road, donde nos de; así, fácil de cinco minutos en volver a la ciudad.Tanto la ciudad como el café adjunto a la panadería era nuevo para nosotros. Aparcamos el coche en una calle lateral en la parte trasera de la panadería/cafetería y, sombrillas, encabezada por ese práctico café. Rara vez puedes equivocarte con una cafetería adjunta a una panadería, todos aquellos aromas embriagadores, crujiente panes apiladas en bastidores de detrás del mostrador, las estanterías de bollos y pasteles tradicionales ingleses, dolce detrás del cristal bajo el mostrador que desafío para elegir para complementar que café, y el placer de 15 minutos o así disfrutando de una visión de país pequeño pueblo; y esto a pesar de Essex la lluvia que era el principal de Windows el martillo que separada de la carretera y el tráfico borboteo pasado.Las dos partes de la tienda eran unos pasos aparte. Esperamos en línea en el mostrador de panadería y ordenados, y número de mesa en la mano, nos dijeron a tomar asiento en la zona de café; el café fuera unos minutos. Había mesas y sillas para alrededor de una docena de personas - café pequeño entonces la mitad de lugares con ocupados. Las personas estaban yendo y viniendo a la panadería; sólo un puñado encabezada por el café.Café se sirve en china, espuma hasta el borde, con todos el placer que proviene de anticipacion. Nos gustaría un pedazo de pastel de zanahoria y un helado de manzana para compartir - donut demasiado para mediados de mañana - un cuchillo y bolsa de papel nos permitió aumentar nuestro snack almuerzo un par de horas más tarde.Pagamos unos 52 centavos menos de £7 para nuestro REINO UNIDO a mediados de mañana de descanso - menos de $2 que el Reino Unido es la típica de un café/unidad brioche" tan buena relación calidad-precio.Desventajas? Así, el café no estaba tan caliente como preferidos, pero no había tomado un punto de pedir café caliente. La próxima vez? A continuación, el servicio de camarera era todo' y 'la melancolía triste, quizás ella estaba teniendo un mal mañana? O quizás fue simplemente un impresión personal. Servicio detrás del mostrador, en comparación, era típico de las sonrisas y gastar bromas que normalmente se juntan en una pequeña ciudad de Essex.Resumen? Rural pintoresco de Essex en la lluvia, acogedor café y bollos, servicio hubiera beneficiado de que 'la milla extra". tripadvisor no proporciona una categoría "bueno"; y esto, por desgracia, no era un "muy buenas" experiencia de café. Entonces la próxima vez.Peter Steele06 junio 2107
