Fantastic breakfast and service from Red! Highly recommend the French toast banana bread - the best banana bread I’ve ever had!! We will definitely be coming back.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our pancakes. As a vegan I often find that the options are limited when I eat out, but not at Acanteen! The arla coconut cream and blueberries were delicious. My friend also enjoyed her bacon pancakes and oreo milkshake! I will definitely be back soon.

My partner and I came here on Sunday for brunch. We didn’t book a table and it was quite busy so they gave us a table in the lounge area. This area is counter service, and after we decided on food and drink I went up to the bar to order.
The girl behind the bar was clearly distracted and had a lot of trouble with our order. We ordered the Verde Eggs and a build your own breakfast.
Our drinks came out quick, but I’d ordered an extra cup with the pot of tea that didn’t come. That was okay because we asked the server and she brought one immediately.
Then we waited and waited and waited. No one brought us cutlery or tap water. No one checked in on us. 30 minutes later our food came and a welcome sight that was. Mind you, we still had to take cutlery from another table.
Unfortunately, they had forgot the bacon on the byo breakfast and hadn’t included any syrup or butter for the pancakes.
We requested the bacon and found out that they hadn’t included that in the order. Fortunately, they brought it out and didn’t charge us.
The atmosphere was nice. It was calm and clean and there was a good amount of space between tables, you didn’t feel packed in.
The food was okay, the verde eggs had a nice combination of components but nothing shone through. The pesto got lost behind the heaps of guacamole.
The build your own breakfast was also swamped by guacamole, but the bacon and sausage were tasty.
Overall, the service really let this place down and the food was just okay.

Come for coffee and stayed for the food. Great venue with options to sit for coffee or restaurant in separate spaces. Great place to come with prams as not many spaces in Chelmsford can fit. I had the Banana Bread French Toast and it was incredibly delicious with warm butterscotch and comforting. Plus I'm not the biggest banana fan but I would order that again. You can tell the chef cares about the quality and presentation and looks as good as tastes. Small/ medium menu selection but perfect to make the dishes they do very well. Had sofas perfect for our 7 month olds to practice their sitting. Staff are helpful and always friendly. Happy to accommodate warming a bottle and bring to our table once warm. Probably my favourite place for a bunch in Chelmsford now.
