The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Basildon East of England

Traditional cafe, great food and service

Great place to be for excellent food, cakes, coffee, animal farm, gift shops, and general ambiance.

Love the female staff here in wi ford branch. Very friendly but the man serving chats to much to other staff whilst serving . Today he forgot onward of our cakes due to chatting again but didn't foeget to cHarge for it though.

This place has good food depending on who cooks best person who is happy gives great service with knowledge of menu and very good cook so well done Elliot

Food is fresh and homemade we go with the family at least once a week and service always great and friendly and the new place is Amazing

Good selection of food and drinks. Staff are always welcoming. Can recommend the milkshakes and freshly made sandwiches.

I waited to get served at the bar and the bar staff were serving there locals before me, although I was standing there for ages. Also the tables and bar is always sticky and the toilets smell.

I’ve eaten here a few times and had both the savory and sweet crepes. With just my husband, with the kids, I’ve even had a take out. It is crêpes (and waffles) made fresh with a choice of fillings. The food is nice. It’s that naughty feel good dessert that hits the spot. It is clean, I like the location and the product but I struggle with the staff. Today, the server was not customer friendly. The last time I was bothered that a different person was touching their hair and phone without washing their hands and the lady before that was more interested in chatting to her friends while not giving us attention (so instead of buying drinks “to go” I bought drinks in Boots. It’s a nice place to take the kids for a treat. Just don’t expect a smile.

Went for a morning breakfast with the family and my youngest ordered beans on toast; however, they had ran out of beans and just gave him toast! Lazy staff didn't even butter it! Thanks now I have a crying 6 year old! However, I had a full English and changed my beans for extra mushrooms full recommend! Made better by the stripper who came to collect her money wearing an inappropriate uniform love this place!

Popped in for a drink with a friend, good quality IPA, good service and great location!

This costa must have the friendliest and welcoming staff of all the costas. They are always happy to help with a smile and are very knowledgeable on the costa range. A large store which is normally pretty busy. Its just off the A127 but a bit hidden. Lots of parking in the retail park.

We always stop now to have a hot drink and snack on our way back from visiting clients or family because of the later opening hours (7pm!). Lily's a favourite. Good job Coca-Cola. Keep being customer-focused

if I could give half of a fiver star I would just because there was a little spillage

I played a game of bridge at the best bridge club in Essex, First Class Bridge Academy and wanted a quick sandwich before the game. Popped in here, basic cafe, nothing special, tbh looks like the factory pass from 'Dinner Ladies' I ordered an egg mayo sandwich and a diet coke £9 😯 yep, seriously £9, I actually queried the amount but I think the heat must have got to me because all I could come up with was 'blimey'. It was served with a dead lettuce and a slice of cucumber and what looked like leftover crisps, no napkin, no condiments and not on a silver platter, which was disappointing at that price ! Young mum's beware, bring your own picnic because the prices in this rip off joint will spoil an otherwise lovely day out.

Not a great experience, as the shelves were largely empty and everything I asked for wasn't available. No belgian buns AGAIN, blamed on a delivery that hadn't arrived. They used that excuse the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that. The guy behind the counter seemed quite pleased with himself and was more interested in chatting to his colleague than actually wanting to do any work. I won't be back.
