Quiet enough to hear the person you are with, food is good, price is reasonable. Overall, a good breakfast experience without needing to leave Hadleigh.

Lovely find today. We arrived near to closing time but were made to feel welcome for a quick drink stop and some crisps. Lovely feel inside the cafe, tasty milkshakes and good prices. Will definitely visit again to try the food!

I've eaten here with my parents in the past and most recently visited with my husband and kids for milkshakes. Best milkshake I've had, and both kids give it a double thumbs up. My son looks grumpy because his dad kept asking to try his.

Love this place and its staff. They are always so welcoming, tend to know what I may require as soon as I enter. My favourite hot drink for the chilly weather, and amazing iced coffee or slushie to get me through the very hot days at work. After a natter & a laugh, I leave with a smile on my face. Thanks so much Chrissy, Jamie & Scarlett.

After reading the negative review from a post on here about the staff and manager I would just like to say this is absolutely not what this wonderful cafe and staff are like at all in anyway what so ever. This cafe is being targeted by some malicious pathetic individuals. My review of the Enchanted cafe is that it is an amazing friendly welcoming place. I would highly recommend it to family and friends.The food is delicious and the lasagne is to die for. you must try for yourself their menu but I don't think you will be disappointed

Having read these reviews - knowing that they’re malicious - I will make a point to say that this: Myself and My friends have established a great relationship with the staff and the owner. They are absolutely outstanding. Sensational venue. Friendly staff. Great food. Good value. All boxes ticked. Original review: Rayleigh Brunch Club frequent this gorgeous gem of a eatery regularly. The menu is vast, the food is delicious, the staff are all warm, friendly, attentive, fun, professional. Always accommodating. The decor is beautiful. Idyllic I’d say. You really do step into a space of tranquil. With the best hot and cold drinks including amazing cocktails. Great for Full English, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and the BEST coleslaw and the best homemade coronation chicken I’ve ever tasted! Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
