Rosy Lee Cafe - Southend-on-Sea

Shocking all around. Puzzles me how this place got 4.5 rating from 200+ reviews. Dirty walls, dirty menus, things not available from the menu, cannot pay by card. Food pesentation non existent. Only reason for 2 stars rather than one was fairly decent tasting food (below standard but still decent-ish and the waiter’s attitude, very apolegetic, nice, probably trying to make the most of an embarrassing situation. Oh, and the espresso was actually good: Overall would not recommend and wouldn’t eat here ever again.

Was really looking forward to coming to Rosy Lee cafe for a breakfast with a friend. Was really praising how good it was. As I come here every week. But this visit was disappointing as we had to wait almost two hours for our food which was only a normal English breakfast. But the place was not busy enough to warrant that wait that long. When food came out, it was very cheap looking, sausages were not the normal type you got here. Bacon was cold and grim. Eggs burnt and toast burnt. I will not be coming back anytime soon and will be letting others know not to come here. Hopefully it will go back to it’s original ways.

I decided to finally check out this restaurant after driving by it countless times. What a great decision! They offer a wide variety of dishes, including English and Moroccan cuisine, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also serve delicious coffees and homemade milkshakes. I ordered a Moroccan chicken panini with sweet potato fries and a side salad. It was absolutely delicious. Top-notch quality all around.

We popped in here early on the Sunday morning that the clocks went back. We opted for a large cappuccino and a black americano. I chose the Rosy Lee number 2 big breakfast and my partner had a selection from the pick n mix breakfast menu. Both were excellent and really good value for money. The whole bill including extra toast was £15! We will definitely be visiting again.

Went to this cafe for lunch, very good service and friendly staff. The food, drinks and desserts were all delicious. Mix of breakfasts, omelettes, burgers, some Moroccan inspired food and more!! Definitely come here again, recommend to family and friends.
