Bb’s

Great little restaurant since it was upgraded. On a summer's day the outside area is perfect for a quick cake stop. The inside is not always the cleanest and the staff should put more measures in place to ensure that the cleanliness is checked often. I have also noticed how the staff always seem stressed and over worked lately. I visited a week ago and they had no gluten free muffins and no-one seemed to know who was responsible for this.
Visiting today was slightly disappointing as there were only two options of gluten free which looked quite dry.
BB's is the kind of place where some days you visit and it is amazing and you walk away feeling satisfied. Other days they are under staffed and struggling.
I do love how they have a transitional menu, my husband had the spiced apple and custard and he said they were so delicious he could have eaten 5!

Lovely quirky little cafe! We had tea coffee and got chocolate, along with a muffin and Danish which were deliciously fresh!
Great to have local cafe instead of boring multinational

My family and I took a friend, who was visiting for the day, out to lunch. We chose bb’s and really pleased we did. The man who served us (I think must have been the manager) was very welcoming and helpful. He was very patient as my dad and our friend are pensioners and it took some time to work out what we were going to have. I was very grateful for that 😉😁. The food was lovely and just perfect for what we were looking for. Our friend had a ham salad baguette freshly made and packed full. So much that she took half home for her dinner 😆 and the staff very kindly gave me a takeaway container! My daughter and I loved our strawberry lemonade too. The store was clean and tidy and welcoming and would definitely visit again. It was lovely to sit outside by the river as well. The only thing I would add is that some of the chairs were very wet from a short downpour so it may be worth either tipping them when it rains or giving them a quick wipe down after the shower has finished 😉. All in all will visit again and would recommend. My dad is already planning his next visit!

best cafe EVER i am urging everybody to go here at least once. their raspberry and apple crumble muffin left me as a changed man, this is literally my favourite cafe, not only in chelmsford but in the WORLD 10/10

Great service
Nice location
Superb Flat White coffee’s
In fact my wife and I visited B&B twice
When we left the car park as we started shopping then again on the way back to the car park once we had finished shopping
I would highly recommend this place

Very good value for money, but the place was a bit cold

The baristas were not very good. The atmosphere was loud tinny music and that's all

Use BB a lot when I'm in town. Decent food, friendly staff and always clean and tidy.
