Black Horse Cafe in Braintree

My friend and I have visited this cafe quite a few times and usually have coffee and toastedteacakes. We thought we’d try the scones this time. One fruit and one cheese. They were both a huge disappointment. They were very doughy and I don’t think the cheese one had seen any cheese as it certainly didn’t taste like cheese. Such a shame!

I’ve been foolishly going to poplar nurseries cafe for many years!This cafe is far superior in my view. I ordered a takeaway jacket potato with beans. The staff were very helpful and politely wrapped it in tin foil too, over the environmentally friendly takeaway container.As a wheelchair user, the access it accessible, level flat doorways with no lips or sills or steps.My jacket potato with cheese and beans was lovely. Also compared to Poplar, considerably cheaper!!!Many thanks. I’ll be back.

Went there for a coffee ☕ after visiting the the dentist, Me and Me and my partner had a sausage roll each and it had plenty of meat and it was lovely. This is the first time back that I went since they gave it a make over and wasn't disappointed. It was very spacious inside and out ,the staff were very friendly and polite. Tbe prices were not too expensive. Definitely recommend a visit, we will definitely go back again.

A pleasant restaurant and tea room sighted on the side of Oliver's nursery.Restaurant covers breakfast lunch and afternoon tea.Good selection of food and cakes. Teas coffees. Soft drinks as well as wine and beers available.Seating inside and out. Outside is also dog friendly and covered for those wet days.Takeaway is available from the counter.

So breakfast was very tasty and great value, the only issues were that we sat down and we were not told to order at the till, by the time we found out, 15 mins, there was a queue, the other was the plates were cold as was most of our breakfast, even the beans in a separate pot. The sausage was a marvel!!

Our breakfasts were delicious, served by smiling attentive waitress at a reasonable price. Nothing was too much trouble.

Brilliant food. Always a welcoming atmosphere. The blonde young lady is an absolute total credit to you, didn’t get her name.

Served today by Sophie, it has been a real treat to find a dog friendly cafe. They only allow dogs outside but the area is completely under cover and very comfortable. We had such a warm welcome by staff, and throughly enjoyed a cream tea in the autumn sunshine. Will definitely be visiting again with Bluebell

Updated now taken over by new management food is excellent service is fast and friendly. Gets very busy, you can book a head to reserve a table. You can use the qr code to order from table or go to the counter.

We came across this cafe and garden centre on the way to one of our car deliveries today. We bought some allium bulbs and used the bathroom whilst there. They had a lovely selection of plants and the bathroom was spotless which is a fantastic sight in a pandemic! There was even ambient music playing! Just wanted to say how refreshing that is so well done 👏
