The Little Book Cafe in Braintree

A lovely "little" cafe... There are books of all sizes, don't be mislead by the name☺️Friendly, helpful staff.It's cozy and unique.A beautiful conservatory.Food is delicious and healthy.It's just off the High Street, so best place to park is probably Sainsbury's carpark.We had a lovely time, thanks👌

Such a lovely little cafe! Great food and amazing service.

This was hands down the best cafe I have been to yet. Let me preface this by saying my partner and I frequent A LOT of cafes. This one is the best.The setting is central to all the beautiful town has to offer, right next to the best pub in town, The Dog Inn (See my review).The interior decoration is absolutely stunning. So warm and inviting, you could swear you'd been here a hundred times before. The staff are wonderful, the chefs, top of their game and the venue a treat to be in. I had the LBC breakfast and was blown away by the quality of every individual component that made up the best cafe breakfast fry up I've had. Now, it's not your typical huge plate filled with food because the quality is very much worth sacrificing the usual quantity and left me feeling more than satisfied anyway, with obviously nothing going to waste.The Coffee on offer is robust and wonderful, the bakewell tart we were lucky enough to get a slice of when it was in circulation was mindblowing and I can't wait to visit again. It is a theme with the establishments here that you feel so at home and so happy to be a part of, you just don't want to leave. To the owners of The Little Book cafe if you see this, your cafe is a marvellous accomplishment and a part of the reason I shall be visiting your town again soon. Well done.

Great place for nice full English breakfast or coffee and cake with friend. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Really love the place.

Visited this dear little cafe with my grandson today, what a quaint little place, lovely food great atmosphere and friendly staff, also have a lovely courtyard for when the weather is nice, will definitely be going back.

Really cute, quaint cafe located in the middle of Halstead. Great customer service, lovely atmosphere, and fantastic food. Definitely visit!! The Parsnip soup was great!!

Great to be able to visit this wonderful cafe again. Friendly staff with a very good selection of food. My choice of the vegetarian all day breakfast was delicious. I loved the gluten free toast. My wife really enjoyed her eggs Benedict. Booking ahead is recommended as this place is very popular with the locals.

Gravy bones and blankets for dog 🐾. The most amazing food for humans. The homemade baked beans are fantastic.

Amazing food, drinks and service. Very happy eating and drinking here. The food always tastes lovely and actually has decent flavours. Nothing comes across as fake. Definitely not expensive for the taste of the food as it's all freshly prepared/cooked like the lovely pancakes they do so very worth it. Do have a freakshake - only available in the school holidays which are a meal in themselves but oh soo good!!

Gorgeous little café. Food was delicious and plenty of veggie & vegan options. Mostly locally sourced. Staff were welcoming and service was great. Nice book collection to browse through. Would love to sit out on the terrace when it's warm, it looks very pretty outside. Just mind your head on the way in if you're over 5'6"
