The Kabin Cafe in Braintree

Perfect full English - came here after staying at Newcombes and attending a wedding at The White Hart. We were very warmly greeted as soon as we arrived and offered tea/coffee, fab service, delicious breakfast and a good price 👍🏻

I booked to come for breakfast with a friend this week after hearing someone talk about it in a local pub. On arrival you drive into a business park and part of you feels like your in the wrong place but tucked to the side as you enter is a little Kabin, as the saying goes, 'never judge a book by its cover'. This breakfast is by far, the best Full English i've ever eaten, i know that sounds dramatic and your thinking 'ever eaten' well honestly, it is. There are multiple options on the menu including a vegetarian. I ummed and arrd as they all sounded so good and eventually went for the Full English which comes with a tea or coffee and orange juice, the perfect amount of hot and cold liquid to start you off. Then the breakfast, Bacon, sausage, beans, tomato, mushrooms, egg, black pudding and a choice of either hash browns or even bubble and squeak! Well the breakfast came, not only did it look amazing and taste amazing but one of my biggest loves about this breakfast was how clean it was, honestly there was none of that grease slipping around the plate, or that floppy anemic colored bacon covered in fat that some places serve, it was none of that, it was clean, fresh, home cooked and you could see the care and dedication the chef had put it to cooking and preparing it. Then on the side you get the option of either white or brown toast, so brown was my option and now..... i wouldn't class my self as a bread snob, but everyone knows the difference between a proper fresh loaf of bread or a cheap bottom of the shelf loaf of bread, well this was proper, seedy, lovely fresh bread with a nice crusty edge, you know the ones i mean. Oh also, I dont like black pudding all that much so asked to have this left off and instead was offered the chance to have both hash browns and bubble and squeak, now ive only ever had bubble and squeak and Christmas but after having it for breakfast, this chef has brought a whole new understanding to bubble and squeak for me, amazing! The venue itself is a cute little cabin with windows overlooking the front so there is lots of natural light inside, nice tables and chairs with place mats on each table, napkins and proper cutlery. Finally the chef and waiting staff are so friendly, you can see the chef in the kitchen as you arrive which i really like and its honestly like going to a friends house for dinner where as soon as walk in the door you feel welcome and right at home.

First time visiting this local cafe and I can’t recommend it enough! One of the best full English's I’ve had and amazing value for money! Staff were great too! Will definitely be back.

The Kabin is a great unassuming venue that serves top food in a fun and homely environment. Good for breakfasts and lunch time meals. Great prices as well.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! Tucked away in the corner of a business yard, this is a real gem. My fishing partner Rob and I first visited in February, as somewhere to grab a bite to eat after an early start. It has now become part of the enjoyment of our regular trips to the Carp Fishery up the road. Everything we’ve tried has been simply superb! Not haute cuisine but that’s not what we want. Great quality food brilliantly cooked and with service to match. You will not be disappointed...

Tried this place for the the first time yesterday. What a lovely surprise absolutely first class HOME COOKED food. The meat pie was so full of meat and the Lasagne was delish. Do try it and you won't be disappointed.

This place just gets better. Our daughters 9th birthday breakfast treat was to come to the Kabin as me and the wife have raved about it for so long. It did not disappoint, Ross is a great chef. And ted is.... well he’s ted, a great waiter and very entertaining!!!!. Elvis your cafe is our go to for breakfast.

The very best breakfast you will find for miles. The homemade bubble and squeak is phenomenal. Price is brilliant and service is amazing. Check it out once and you’ll go back over and over again.

My go to place for a Proper English Breakfast on a Saturday morning, staff are always friendly and food cooked with quality. 10/10

Popped round with the kids for a late breakfast over half-term, following a recommendation by a friend. Great food, chef was welcoming and friendly, and the place was spotless. Not your standard greasy spoon: worth a visit. I can see it becoming a bit of a regular haunt (particularly once the kids are back at school!).

A little treasure, tucked away on the edge of the village. We had a fantastic breakfast at a reasonable price and found the service to be extremely good too.

Excellent little cafe serving local and fresh ingredients, food cooked to order and served in a timely manner, pleasant and helpful staff.
