The Lillies Cafe & Tearoom in Basildon

Food was lovely and excellent sized portionsWill definitely go back

A very nice atmosphere with friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price.I have only one complaint I had salad and found it very bland and uninteresting, the addition of a few different leaves and perhaps peppers and some other extras would have made an excellent meal. Otherwise very enjoyable.

Had a lovely fry up in pod 9 today, served by a wonderful lady, she was extremely efficient, friendly and welcoming. Thankyou it was our first day back from our holiday and we had been up for 36 hours so we were shattered and couldn't be bothered to cook. Once again thanks for your warm welcome and great service xx

Next level omlette!It's surprisingly hard to find consistently good food, but Lillies nails it, especially the omlettes.Such a simple thing can be done so badly, but Lillies omlette are the right thickness, with gooey strong cheese and heaps of delicious roasted ham - not cut into tiny cubes, its beautiful flecks and hunks of ham. Lovely crispy edges too and a bit of a caramelisation, it's the perfect example of excellent simple ingredients, cooked well, make memorable, quality dishes.Honestly it's French bistro level of omlette.A must have!

Fella in there seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder, everytime I've been he asks if we have a reservation to which my answer is always no, after this he's not very accommodating to finding us a table in a half empty cafe. I do struggle to understand how a cafe is reservations only, not like its the ritz or anything but the foods decent so let em get on with it. Although I think today will be our last time as we saw him having it off with 2 other customers. My Mrs said after, right or wrong that bloke should not be serving people lol, don't just serve food ya get a side of attitude to go with it, they should put it on the menu 🤣

Love Lillies Cafe. The outside pods are the place to be & dog friendly, they even have doggie meals on the menu. Human food is great too. Our new favourite place to grab a fry up.

Lovely safe environment. Sat in our own pod, and got served at our table. Each pod has a heater, so sitting outside was very pleasant

Another great experience in a pod on a frosty morning. This time with our little friend.

Loved the pods outside. Great all weather dining space that is comfortable & good for social distancing. Service was great, food was delicious & generous portions at a reasonable price. Will definitely come here again.

Very good food, decent cooked breakfast.Nothing fancy, but excellent to have the outdoor area with pods etc.Service is also very good, modern ordering system, above standard for your average cafe.
