The Kiosk in Southend-on-Sea

Awful service, rude staff and bad food. First time we ordered ice creams and donuts, wow they microwaved the donuts and not even a full scoop of ice cream. Second time we went again as my autistic little boy wanted to go again, so we thought it's OK we will get donuts and then head over there to get the ice cream/coffees etc but before we had even ordered or opened anything the rude lady came over and started telling us we could not sit there with food from elsewhere. I said can we not even sit here with suff from you and she said no not with the donuts. I mean come on, it is ridiculous, so people please please please do not spend your money with these people for less than second class service or goods.

Stopped to get a couple of ice creams. Good old fashioned place small and compact selling loads of typical seaside bits and pieces. plenty of places for sitting.

We had a lovely cream tea here and the very friendly lady behind the counter gave our dog a bowl of water . The prices are very reasonable too .!

We went there with there drinks and ice cream but had McDonald’s wrap for me due to my diabetes and not feeling well both lady’s came over to embarrass and say we could not stay there with McDonald’s food on the tables which the tables do not state any names of companies on them. I was having a bad day with my diabetes and my partner was worry and was disappointed that the owner said she was diabetic and would not understand the situation. I will boycott was place especially as we are local to the area.

Not only were they way over priced there were not proper seaside doughnuts made fresh and fried, but microwaved pre cooked catering doughnuts. When you go to the seaside you want proper seaside doughnuts, i wasn't there for a day out but for work so bought some to take home so didn't not notice until it was too late. If i had still been near i would have taken them back.

Always call here when we are looking for a coffee on our walks.Excellent prices and unbeatable hot chocolate

Clacton's Oldest Kiosk. Great little kiosk that servers snacks, really cool traditional kiosk and sold some lovely ice cream with different topping options. Staff was friendly as well and the price was really reasonable. Loved it!

Young girl serving us was very nice and professional. Yummy whippy ice creams for the whole family and not too pricey as you might expect from a spot by the beach.

To have mr Whippy ice cream with all the different flavours on offer is really impressive and it tastes great! Loads of other ice creams available. If you get a hot drink it comes in a proper cup too! Great prices and service make this a whole round 5 star experience!

This is a kiosk near to the seafront and it has been standing here since the 1930's, which makes it very interesting. We were on holiday in Clacton-on-Sea and we passed this Kiosk quite a few times, but usually it was closed with the shutters down, as we were there out of season, and all the children were already back at school after their summer holiday. I took a few pics while the shutters were down. We could see it from our hotel room window and one day I looked out and it was open!! So we made a beeline there and bought ourselves a Cornetto ice cream each,( just so that we can tell our families that we ate something from this historical refreshments Kiosk), and we ate them as we walked along the promenade.I will put photos on here of the Kiosk with the shutters down, and of the information signs at the Kiosk, and also the photo taken from our hotel room when we spotted it was open for business! We will return in the future!

hot fresh doughnuts are lovely ice cream is also good friendly service good location just before the pier

Just the place to buy a drink tea coffee and the usual ice cream, very reasonably priced nice clean tables regularly cleaned plus toys the usual bucket and spades for children toy balls every thing for a day at the seaside. The couple who run it are so warm so welcoming nothing is to much trouble you just might see Laberdoodle Samson who raises funds for the RNLI he is massive so friendly.

picked up some small gifts for family back home and 6 donuts for the adults very good price the young lady serving was very polite an spent time with us as we were selcting our products

We had two visits yesterday,the first time we had a cup of tea and second time we had coffee. Drinks were very good on each occasion.Service was first class.Nice little spot next to the gardens.It was also nice to see Sampson the lovely three year old Poodle. Very enjoyable visit The Baileys

All sorts of seaside goodie with lovely hot donuts a real treat on a chilly day. Ice creams, sweets, drinks, plenty of choice.

friendly people, great cupa, lovely icecream, lovely surroundings albieit right next to the main road

This small but warm friendly kiosk has one very special feature it has pictures around it of Clacton-On-Sea.

You can definitely try Kelly's ice cream here. Loved mine which was the lemon-cream one. Bought one and then we fought for that, so bought two more to calm the taste-buds.

the kids love this little place lots of delisious sweeties, rocks, lollies candy floss and ice cream to choose from.

The Kiosk is the oldest in Clacton from which it mainly sells ice cream of all varieties and types and tea and coffees.

Yes a throwback to the past in some respects - simple coffee and ices etc., but that is the point. We have been regular customers for many years and always get a warm welcome and good cheery service.

This lovely Kiosk, established in 1934 is next to the wonderful Gardens by the Pier in Clacton and opposite Tom Peppers by the traffic lights.
