A very warm and welcoming place , staff are always polite and are willing to go the extra mile in order to satisfy all coustomers, There is a range of tasty dishes on the menu , we would reccomend scampi and chips or the full english breakfast. Extremely good value . and very clean
Beautiful, 'naked' style 50th birthday cake decorated with silk flowers. It was admired by all, tasted lovely and the flowers now make a beautiful centrepiece placed in a complimentary coloured shallow bowl.
Popped in for some food and coffee. We had the sausage roll and the Cornish pastie with chorizo. The food hit the spot it was lovely and warm and the coffee was excellent. Place was very busy and managed to get table inside. Also had a lovely rhubarb slice of cake which was just yummy.
What a fabulous find! I took my elderly parents here (Dad’s in a wheelchair) and my kids for lunch. Rui came straight out to help Dad out of his wheelchair and up the 2 steps and to his table. Mum and I went in to choose food and he showed us round and told us all about all the Portuguese food and bakes etc he makes on site. Everyone ordered different toasties which they said were delicious. I am GF & DF so ordered a prawn mayo salad which Rui did Portuguese style chopped finely with a lovely dressing. We sat outside on the covered area watching the world go by and felt like we were on holiday! We will definitely be back!
Unfortunately there are no longer any free-from offerings. It's such a shame as my family used to really enjoy cakes from here. Many successful eateries just don't label their products vegan or gluten-free and they sell really well. Those of us with dietary requirements will ask what's suitable for us anyway...offering one free-from GF option shouldn't be too hard in 2022.
We booked a family tea party here for 14 people and 7 young children to celebrate a 90 th birthday in our family taking over the cafe for the afternoon .Making the arrangements with Rebecca beforehand was straightforward and she kindly adapted our food to meet the needs of the group .They were particularly careful to look after the person in our group with an allergy.The food was plentiful, varied, delicious and freshly made -all served with a smile .We had a fantastic afternoon and we could not have been looked after better
What a fantastic place the atmosphere was lovely and the staff the most multi talented “proprietors” around.
A great place or food drink and music.
I was seriously impressed by the food some of the best tasting selection for a long time.
The staff were excellent and transformed into a great band!!!!
What a great find - real coffee and service to match. We had cake and filled rolls ( freshly baked on site) ,bacon from the butcher next door. Proper ground coffee with a real taste to it. Judging from the the number of people eating , it is always busy. Congratulations to Alex on a well run café. We will return as often as possible.
Lovely little place with - as the name suggests - a Saturday afternoon pianist. Service great but delivery a bit disappointing - rose we ordered not available, beer again not available but alternatives provided with no fuss. Food however not so brilliant - sourdough streaky bacon sandwich was all bread - needed thinner bread or more bacon: quiche of the day had virtually no bacon at all or no filling that I could taste but the main issue was it was served absolutely boiling hot - I burnt my mouth so had obviously been put in microwave creating a soggy bottom - not so good. So very very many cafes in Saffron Walden to choose from not sure we’d go back again sorry.
Despite lock down, Sid's Cafe is open for take-aways. I stopped by for a cup of his really good coffee to go.
I purchased a mixture of treats - rocky road bars, granola bars and brownies.
My son works in the A&E at St.Peters Hospital and took Sid's baking in to share with his colleagues. The busy staff in the A&E were delighted!
I highly recommend visiting Sid's Cafe - buy a treat for someone!!!
Soooo goood! Jerk chicken and ‘doubles’ were amazing. Love all the dips, polenta chips and spring greens were bangin. Rly good value for money and easy collection. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!
