After a refreshing walk along the Thames Estuary at Leigh On Sea we stopped by Sara's Tea Garden…read more The garden is a lovely place to have tea or coffee - if the sun shines! But there is also a small covered area. The place was busy but we were served quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful. The homemade cakes were delicious. We both opted for iced tea-cakes - just like mum used to make! Well worth a visit.

Directly untie Leigh broadway for good sun and people watching.

I had a great chunky ham and cheese toasty, not the packet sliced stuff. The staff come across as friendly and refreshingly alternative. I'd defiantly go again.

Fresh, natural and great food all with a friendly chat, the guys that own this place are great…read more They have a love for the environment and a passion for their food which shows, I' believe they have won awards for how natural the food is I'm a personal lover of the smoothies, they are the best I've ever had and I've yet to have a a bad one, although I must admit I haven't worked my way through all the flavours yet (mainly because once i try one I love it and don't want to change). Being a vegie I haven't tried everything, but I love my goats cheese salad, the vegie breakies (with home made vegie sausages) and mouth waltering melted mozzarella wrap. Oh and nearly forgot to mention it all needs to be shared (yep can't eat a whole portition by yourself) with some gorgeouse hand-cut jacket wedges If you have room (which I rarely do so I can't comment on the whole list) try one of their yummie cakes for deserts (afternoon tea style cakes). TOP TIP, if you haven't got room for desert, get here early and they do yummie bit size cakes with your coffee or tea....to die for

Or, have one of the delicious German lunch meals, such as Schnitzel or Bratwurst with home-made potato salad, and other goodies! I tried everything and I love everything there!! The ambiance is so nice, too. Very warm and welcoming. They play original German and Austrian music, candles and flowers on each table, as well as seasonal decorations. Don't forget to take a home-made loaf of bread before you leave! The best bread in town!

I love this place! It's a German tea and coffee shop, with a…read moresmall menu of German tapas style snacks. There's easily over a 100 different teas to chose from (the lovely couple running the teehaus can guide you through the selection), and the preparation is amazing. You may find your choice of tea is served a couple of minutes before your friend's, as they're sticklers here for serving the tea at EXACTLY the right temperature and length of infusion. (If you buy loose leaf take home packs of tea they helpfully print the full instructions on the packet!) The coffee menu is thorough too, with the full Starbucks style range and beyond. (The times I've been here I've been surprised at the amount of people opting for a latte when they're surrounded by all these wonderful choices.) The food is basic but lovely. The Teahouse/Teehaus is big, airy and welcoming, with lots of room to move around between the tables. The owners are so friendly and warm you can't help but feel loved. Lovely place, lovely people and wonderful tea.

By finding The Coffeebean Company Cafe I have found a little bit of heaven hidden away in…read moreLeigh-on-Sea. This is just what Leigh needs - a modern coffee shop yet with traditional welcoming values. They have a great selection of coffees, as well as other hot and cold drinks, and they sell a great range of homemade cakes and cookies. There are also free papers should you just want to sit back and relax with a nice drink. I tend to have high standards but they really seem to know their stuff, and the coffee was one of the best I have had in ages. The premises seemed really clean and everything had that nice sparkle to it. Their prices are probably the average price for coffee in Leigh. Whilst they seem to cater for everyone they are really welcoming of babies and buggies even though it is not the biggest of premises, and we really got the feeling we were being valued as a customer and not just being wanted for our money. The man behind the counter was friendly, attentive, spoke to us and our babies, and even helped us with getting our buggies out of the door. They also provide a baby changing room to the side of the counter. The only downside is it is small with no highchairs (that I saw anyway) so I can imagine it being a bit of a cosy squeeze should it be crowded but I would much rather visit here and get delicious food and drink with great service but be a little short of room, rather than visit the Terracotta Tearooms down the road where they have the space but not the service.
