Tiptree At Bond Street - Chelmsford

Shocked at the poor quality and cost. Cake prices are not displayed and for good reason small slice of cake is £6! I was also given a stained cup. The service is by late teenagers and could have been better. Felt a bit like I was in McDonalds!

Just had a coffee and slice of peach almond tart. The Americano was a touch on the bitter side and the tart was pretty dry. Coffee wasn’t badly priced, but the tart for a slice as small as it was I found massively overpriced £5.95). They also don’t have any visible pricing on their cakes, and I’m pretty sure that’s why. If you go, skip the cake and go for a breakfast item as they’re similarly priced.

Nice food, great location. Really impressed with the fresh scones and the price for the location. A great place to sit and have a coffee and scone and watch the world go bye. Lovely friendly staff too.

Nicely set out and very clean. The service is courteous, friendly and swift. The food is excellent nicely presented, fresh and a good plateful for your money. Reason for only three stars , the coffee is dreadful.

This is a good looking two storey cafe (the ground floor being the more atmospheric of the two), decorated in a simple, modern style. The menu features plenty of attractive savoury and sweet options: sandwiches including toasties, jacket potatoes, cakes and cream teas. There’s also a breakfast menu, available until 11. We sought a light lunch on a Saturday. Our party of four was directed upstairs. It wasn’t particularly busy but it took over FORTY MINUTES before we received a single drink or crumb of food! Empty tables went uncleared throughout this period. We enjoyed our hot drinks the tea was clearly of high quality, for example and all the food, although slices of Bakewell tart were a tad dry and, ironically for the cafe of a jam manufacturer, needed more jam! This place really needs to sort out its service. We allowed over an hour for our snack lunch yet ending up running to catch our train.
