Great breakfast with friendly efficient service. Veggie breakfast spot on. Pleasant atmosphere with indoor or outdoor seating. During busy times or for larger groups best to phone up and book.

My family go to the Blue Rooms Cafe as a treat on occasion. It's a lovely little tea room / cafe with a great menu and friendly staff. It's situated next to a garden centre in Abridge with plenty of parking. It's popular so you might want to book a table.

Since moving to this area, I had been on the lookout for a place that serves a good English breakfast, and I'm delighted to have found it at the Blue Rooms Cafe. The food here is excellent, with a traditional English breakfast that's perfectly cooked and satisfying. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Additionally, the ample parking space available is a great convenience, ensuring a hassle-free start to the day. If you're in the area and in search of a great breakfast spot, the Blue Rooms Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

Great family-run eatery. The full english is exquisite. To be frank, you can’t go wrong with any items on their menu. Prices are mid-range. Welcoming atmosphere. Parking is commodious with an overflow section. Having said that can get very busy as the Garden Centre shares the site. Toilets are clean. Visited several times and thoroughly recommended. You can book ahead but not necessary if you get there early.

I absolutely love it here. The menu is superb, the staff very helpful and efficient and the food is delicious. I'm yet to eat anything here that hasn't been excellent. Popped in today for a bite before buying our Christmas Tree! Very much starting to feel like Christmas. Highlights for me are their Full English and the Corned Beef Hash with poached eggs. I love their Kimbo Coffee which I've only ever found being served in Nardini's (Largs, Scotland).

Cracking little cafe attached to the garden centre. Very attentive and polite staff with great service and a beautifully varied menu with some home comforts on there! Of course I had to go for the big breakfast which was very well cooked and absolutely delicious!

Had a very nice lunch here today. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here. Usually just visit for the garden centre, but my friend and I decided to eat whilst here. This is a great family run cafe/restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We were seated quickly and served quickly, although it was fairly busy (and is normally packed out) I had the poached eggs with smashed avocado with an oat milk cappuccino. The coffee is very nice here too, probably the nicest I’ve had in a while. My friend had the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and it looked delicious. All tasted fresh and came quickly too. Extra seating now for when it is very busy, which meant we didn’t have to wait for a table today. Lots of variety on the menu, and some of the other food being served up looked delicious too. Glad to see this place is still open and doing well. The staff here clearly work very hard to provide great food and service. Very reasonable prices too. Would recommend.
