Elder Street Cafe & Deli

Nice café/antique shop combo. It gets busy on weekends. There were some motorcyclists here, but they seemed nice enough. Coffee and food were good. Nice surroundings . Service was helpful but maybe overburdened as it was pretty slow. Prices not cheap but reasonable compared to London. Recommended.

More than a village café, it’s real foodie destination! The menu is so well put together by the chef-owner and his wife, with an emphasis on global flavours. We enjoyed Crispy Baja Fish Tacos with sweet potato fries and curtido as well as Lobster & Crayfish roll with truffled pecorino cheesy fries and slaw. The homemade lemonades were fab. Coffee, tea and vic sponge for dessert. Lots of seating outside. Recommend ringing them to book as it’s a popular spot.

Stopped off here on the way home having seen the great reviews.

Great ambience and reasonable food prices - though I wish I upgraded to a large breakfast

Great stopoff and good places in the adjacent buildings.

Toilets were clean.

What a fantastic spot for breakfast. Dogs welcome and lovely staff! Make sure you book in advance!

Had a second visit, and had the chimchuri flatbread and it was incredible!

We visited here on a Monday morning for breakfast and it was busy when we arrived, which was great. They have the most amazing menu, I wanted to try everything! I went for the eggy crumpets which were absolutely delicious. My partner had the wild mushroom melt bagel with ham and he loved it. The service was excellent, we were in and out in 45 minutes which was good as we had somewhere to be. It was a lovely place to spend some time. It's a shame it was raining as the outside area looked lovely. You must go here!

BTW, the sausage rolls are only £3 and looked delicious. Imagine feeling so entitled that you moan about a cafe charging you for milk! 🤪

Very nice niche cafe off the beaten track.
There are a selection of 'different' sandwiches on offer.
I went for the 'Ham Egg & Chips'
Very nice indeed it was.

Nice setting, lots of parking.
Will definitely pop in again next time I'm driving to Saffron Walden.

Such a big selection for food it was really hard to decide what to try. Really enjoyed the Cuban sandwich-flavourful and morish. Had a toddler with me and staff were amazingly helpful. Would visit again

This place is awesome! The enormous menu seems to comprise only really tasty plates. Large portions, unusual combinations, and smiling service have always been in excellent supply here.

Chips! Have the chips! I had only an odd this-and-that salad, but it was extremely satisfying (and I had half of Emma's chips). And the shopping... well, that's another review altogether.

I came across this lovely cafe/deli whilst on a course. The coffee was delicious and the food amazing! Lovely selection on the menu and friendly staff. Would definitely come back when I’m in the area.

Lovely place. Great service and choice. Highly recommended to go for tea and cake 😋

Lovely little cafe with good service and very tasty food!

Very tasty food and excellent friendly service. Would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic place run by a lovely bunch of ladies. Food was fabulous

Great cafe, always serve good food, is very popular so can get busy. I aways enjoy there breakfast. (Local/regional food champions)

Usually stop here with my bike club for coffee and cake, however I visited today with my wife (minus bike!). The food was amazing, I had the burger which I can say was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long while. In fact all the food was good. Will definitely return.

Very busy. Food lovely & plenty of it. Staff friendly.

Excellent place to eat, big portions, delicious. They adapted a sandwich due to my dietary requirements.

Lovely little gem, great breakfast and lots to choose from.

Fantastic afternoon tea. We were 20 people and the food and service was great. I highly recommend it.

Gregg and his team catered our wedding evening food last weekend and it was sensational! All the guests loved it.
The pork pies were the best I have ever eaten, the cheese was raved about and the dips were so flavourful. Definitely recommend Elder Street for catering a party or event!
