The Braxted Bakery in Braintree

Amazing fresh food, very reasonably priced with big portions. Staff super friendly and lovely quant atmosphere. Saw the afternoon tea being served to another table and will definitely be back to try that as looked heavenly.

Absolutely fabulous afternoon superb staff, friendly and attentiveFood was amazing, all freshly made and more than enough although we made a massive dent in it we couldnt eat it all.Definitely the best Ive had locally in a very long time.Cannot rate this venue highly enough

Fantastic cafe! Lovely staff, super friendly. The menu is extensive and the food is so delicious and reasonably priced too. You must try the cakes!

My family took me to this Bakery today for afternoon tea for Mother’s Day. We have been many times beforeAnd it’s always been exceptional but not today. The service was really bad, long wait for drinks even longerFor food. Not enough sandwiches for 7 people, pots tea took forever to arrive. Cobwebs on the cups.We got the impression we were not wanted there but not short on taking our money £150 just a big bigDisappointment. They just were not interested in our comments just getting in as many people as they canTo make money.

Visited here for my birthday for afternoon tea with my family. It was a fabulous selection of sandwiches and cakes, beautifully presented.Also they catered for a gluten and dairy free afternoon tea that had a variety of sandwiches and cakes.Staff we're lovely, efficient and really friendly.Definitely reccomend here!

We went on Saturday morning to have a coffee and breakfast as a dear friend of ours recommended it and we pre-booked a table. So happy that we went, totally recommend it ! The lady that helped us there, Mel, was really lovely and friendly, the food was so fresh and tasty, decent prices and the cafe is really nice, with a good size parking, outside seating with available blankets if you want to , nice decor, polite and friendly staff.

Cute tea room and cafe with extra outdoor seating and heaters/blankets available. Cakes are huge and the bubble & squeak dishes are large and delicious. A couple of friendly dogs and the owner appears to be doing up a small train complete with single gauge track across from the car park.

Five of us arrived at 10.40 on a Saturday morning, we had pre-booked. We pick from the breakfast menu. You got Plenty of food, loved the thick Hot toast with real butter. The food was lovely and hot and even managed a bit of Coffee and Walnut cake. Felt very stuffed.The staff are lovely and accommodated our request to change or add things to our food order.We sat in the room joined to the restaurant. It was nice but wrap up if you are sitting out there. Even though there's a heater, its cold on your legs when the door is opened for people going in and out, there's a draft on your feet and legs.It is January Thank you, we had a lovely time!

Amazing place , good food friendly staff , would recommend booking unless happy to sit outside or having takeaway, tables go very fast.

Five of us came for breakfast, it was very good. There is a good selection of food on the menu. Our breakfasts were freshly cooked, nicely presented, good sized portions and hot. Cosy inside and plenty of seating outside. All the staff were friendly and polite. Reasonable prices and plenty of parking.
