The Glass House

The food was delicious and the service excellent. Staff were extremely helpful and very happy to cater specially for my 7 month daughter. I’ll definitely be returning and would recommend to others. Great local business.

A home from home. I absolutely love this little tea room. I often come in with my baby or just on my own and nothing is too much trouble for John and Tracey. Always a warm welcome, a chat and some delicious food especially the New York bagel and John’s homemade cakes! I often grab a tea and cake and get John to do me a takeaway lunch! Thanks guys for always making me feel so welcome.

Lovely friendly staff and nice to sit inside. However, no jacket potatoes left, so I asked for a salad as I’m on a restricted diet currently and although staff were kind and put a salad together - it was really just the same as my friend’s side of salad served with his sandwich- so I paid in excess of £3 for a handful of salad so I personally felt disappointed with that but appreciate it is a tea and cake/sandwich place - but I would definitely recommend it as a very nice cafe in Braintree.

Had a lovely lunch here today. Jacket Potatoes hit the spot on a cold blustery day. And the scones were warm and had clotted cream. What's not to like?

We had lunch at this tea room with my family and loved the food. The people running the place are very kind and the food exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the home made crisps and coleslaw. We will visit again!

Nice place, delicious sandwiches and a very good cuppa! The cakes and scones looked amazing too, we'll have to try those next time.

What a refreshing change to see a business that is concerned about their customers. I was put off with the bun fight that was going on outside kaspas so walked down to find a warm and friendly welcome at the glass house. Attention to detail is spot on and the quality of ingredients is good. Will definitely be back.

Impeccable friendly service. Tasty sandwiches, good choice of fillings. Thoroughly enjoyed the cakes & scones. Excellent flavour of tea. Quirky decor, staff very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely cake and coffee as always. Very friendly service and enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine! Milkshake particularly good .

Lovely little tea house, gorgeous cream tea, cakes, and sandwiches. Great price excellent service. My fav cafe in Braintree
