Tiptree At Bond Street - Chelmsford

As the management don't respond to any reviews it makes me wonder if it's worth commenting? Reason for 1 star is that whilst attempting to go here, my group found they close at 4pm. I was very surprised and found it rather early. So there loss was somewhere else's gain that was still open for business.

Stopped there for lunch. Modern and clean inside. Outside seating too. Usual Tiptree menu. Sandwiches, panninies, toasties, jacket potatoes, ceiche, cream teas. Jams, preserves and related gifts available too.

Good place for a city centre cuppa. Offers some gluten free cakes too, which is good better than Costa or Cafe Nero, for instance. Bit cheeky for their payment system to ask you for a tip though, given that its really only a counter serviced.

Two teas and two cakes £19.50. If the cakes had had prices on I wouldn't have bought them. Nearly £8 a cake. The cake was nice but I have had a lot cheaper and nicer in London. I'll buy tea there again but for cake I'll be going elsewhere.

Fist class place to eat while out in town shopping.
