Corner Club in Southend-on-Sea

I enjoy the Friday nights. There’s usually great music and the cocktails are good enough. However, I don’t like it in the day time. For a cafe, especially on a road full of decent independent cafes, it’s below average for food and drink and the service isn’t great. Popped in one day to pick up breakfast in between jobs and they don’t take cash! I didn’t have my phone on me or any cards, so my order was left and I went elsewhere. Seems really bizarre!! From the price you pay and the standard of the coffee shop food, you may as well go to Costa. (Or just go to a coffee shop which offers a better standard of food and drink - I’m not a fan of the cakes, but the food at stop the world is great as is Brunch Co. If you want a trendy coffee, alchemy is much better)The service isn’t the best, but it’s run by teenagers and they seem to be having a good time at their first jobs. I’ve had much worse service down the Broadway (avoid Franks like covid!!!)

Food was good, overall vibe was good. We sat inside with our dog and had a nice lunch. When we came to pay I had the full intention on giving a tip. However when the card machine got handed to me the words that came out of the waitresses mouth was, ‘pick what tip you give’. All 4 of us sat at the table thought it was very rude to imply this that my cater in law who is usually quite generous just selected no tip on the card machine which was met with a rolling of the eyes by the waitress.I have no problem with the gratuity option when handed the machine but don’t be rude.

Not sure who they think they are these days - never have bad service like this in any London coffee shops where you get what you pay for!Corner Club -being snooty doesn't make you high end. Massively overpriced for average food & drink, dirty tables, slow service, no manners.

Great morning coffee with great service. One of my go-tos stopping by to do some work. Had breakfast on another occasion which was also delicious!

Friendly polite service, some amazing coffee, always a great atmosphere, and some seriously tasty pancakes with bacon and maple syrup👌🏼I also really enjoy their diverse evening menu with influences from all over the world inspiring their food. Also worth noting they make some delicious cocktails.I’m a big fan of their morning pastries, with a wide selection of cakes and croissants. They used to do the most delicious French Toast stacked with bacon and covered in syrup, so I’m hoping they bring this back as it was a favourite of mine.In the evening at the weekend they often have entertainment with live music or a DJ keeping the party going through out the evening. We recently went to their Quiz Night on Wednesday which was a good laugh too.The only constructive feedback for Corner Club would be on the weekends service can be quite slow, but with a delicious coffee in hand I don’t mind the wait.In the summer it’s quite nice to sit outside in their large outdoor area, where you can also see the chefs working their magic in their outdoor kitchen.Corner Club definitely ticks all the right boxes whether you after coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or a night out.

What a lovely little place. Great sunny aspect, superb coffee and great avo on sourdough! We will be coming back!

Love love love the Corner Club! Definitely a place I frequent: for breakfast, brunch and dinner. Alone, with my husband and with many different friends - who’ve all loved it too. Food is excellent no matter the time of day and of a consistent and very high quality, coffee is really nice and the cocktails are divine! Will continue to return on a very regular basis.

Very nice fries.Very nice gyozas.Nice presentation.Well seasoned and flavoured.Chai lattes were also good.Nice seating and vibe.Can’t fault this place based on what we had.Will come back.

Good coffee, poor food.Looks good but not up to scratch. Simple poached eggs overcooked! Not remotely runny just solid inside.My partner ordered the sausage sandwich which was a total joke, sub par sausage in between two dry slices of bread - when considering the prices here it's not good enough!

I remember the first time I went to the Corner club and I asked Fabio if dogs were allowed... his response was: "we love dogs". I knew then that it would become my place to go with my Blake🐾. Lovely coffee, service, everything.Fabio even made a cortado when my mum was visiting, which was a lovely touch from him.I can't wait until you reopen again.
