Nice staff, but even though they were closing in 30 mins, it wasn't great that they were clearing up for the end of the day round us, made us feel rushed, I'm sure they didn't mean to have that affect on our

Have never had a bad meal at any of the Tiptree tearooms. Chelmsford Tiptree tearoom really good. Good food, staff, and atmosphere can highly recommend.

Coffee ok. The sandwiches filling to small overpriced. Clean, friendly

Not enough bacon (tight on the portion of bacon in the sandwich which was not toasted It costa £5ish and the bacon was very salty and fatty If you go to preta manager you get 3/4 slices of bacon in a hot roll for similar price Breakfast (traditional) was pretty good but a bit cold I will still return as it was a weekend visit with Xmas Mania but go in the week next time to see if it has improved regarding the bacon sandwich They do a good hot chocolate which I will return to enjoy Thanks for accommodating your Xmas busy time of the Year

A really nice place for a drink and a bite to eat.

This was my first time in this place so I was keen to find out what what they had to offer. I chose the tuna mayonnaise sandwich which was Very enjoyable and had a cup of tea with it. The place is well set out and you can buy from a wide range of tiptree products. The staff are friendly and efficient. I will try to visit this place again and again when I come to Chelmsford.

No table service so, alone, selected my table and then got up to order (as instructed). Meanwhile, someone else took my table. This cafe feels noisy, tables crowded and service impersonal. Food is ok. More like an airport waiting area than a cute cafe. Whole thing has potential to be a lot better.

Honestly coming to this café was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the aesthetic to the gorgeous cakes (the cakes are miles better than your bog-standard Costa/Starbucks ones...the carrot cake is the best I've ever had) I can't fault this establishment. The iced vanilla latte was a generous portion size and a refreshing respite on a hot summer's day and the servers were so friendly and accommodating.Tiptree is definitely going to be a staple place to stop by when meeting up with friends.

Had a lovely cold apple juice in there with a piece of carrot cake. It was so peaceful and relaxing in there. You can buy Tiptree gifts in there as well . The staff are very pleasant and helpful you out at every possible point. There are plenty of seats and they have a upstairs you can eat and drink in. They also have a lift. I will be going back there again . I recommend this as you can shop and eat .
We wanted tea and sandwiches. The tea arrived first, the sandwiches 20 minutes later. The bread was on the verge of being stale, there was barely any mayonnaise on the egg mayonnaise sandwich nor was there any salt. This is my second poor experience here, there won’t be a third.

My mother and I visited yesterday and ordered the cream tea which is 2 scones with tea. We received the 2 scones with 1 pot of jam. That was it. We had to ask the gormless waitress for the cream and I found it really tight to just give 1 x cream and 1 x jam for 2 scones considering it’s THE tiptree jam cafe. In any cafe, when you order a scone you’ll always receive 1 jam and 1 cream so I can’t understand why they only give one…. The scones were decent, tea was not nice in dirty cups and the service was appalling

Loved the shop, the product and the good but the service was poor such a shame. I ordered my food and it was forgotten when I went up and asked, as my husband was just finishing his food, the server said oh! No apology. Then waited again for my gluten free scone to arrive.

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.
