The Garrison Bakery

They were busy when we arrived which meant a bit of a wait to be served. This just meant buying more as I had the time to look at everything. A great range of vegan options. My only problem was I bought and eat more than intended as the were so many tempting cakes

They had run out of a lot of fillings and only had white bread. I had a granary roll with seafood and salad. No one told me the salad would cost me extra per item. The roll wasn't particularly nice . Quite disappointed. The strawberry milkshake tasted funny so threw most of the over priced milkshake away. The lady who served wasn't particularly friendly. Overall looks nice from outside but food and service not great.

Nice little bakery/cafe. They sell milkshakes, iced coffees, hot/other cold drinks. You can have vegan options aswell, not bad prices either especially these days!.Different bakes savoury and sweet, breads, sandwiches etc. Some vegan options aswell, nice decor, and chairs and table outside aswell as inside.No toliet facilities.

Lovely little place down along the seafront near Southchurch Park. Sells a nice selection of cakes, loads gluten free. Breakfast sit outside in the sun or indoors or take away. We tried the Lemon and Blueberry cake, was delicious, we will be back

Excellent food and drinks. Fantastic cakes and sandwiches. Efficient service. Friendly chap serving. Will definitely visit again!

A little disappointed with my visit today. I had a canned drink and was given a glass with ice; the ice doesn’t appear to be kept somewhere clean as it had a lot of dirt on it.I also had a gluten free cake, and it was unfortunately very stale and unpleasant to eat. I am always really happy to find gluten free cakes as not everywhere has them, so it was a shame that it tasted like it had been sitting on the shelf for a week.I will say that the bakery is nice and clean inside and the staff are lovely.

I have been there once but it has become a favorite. I like their sandwiches and coffee. Perfect place for breakfast or brunch while taking a stroll by the seaside. However considering how busy they get over the weekend, they may need to expand their space and expand their pastry menue.

A great cafe well worth a visit. Great sandwiches and cakes. Amazing falafel sandwich. Very clean with excellent service.

Great place along seafront for cakes,snacks and all things home made. Nice to have a place that have their own bakery.Slight minus,first Coffee was weak but on polite request second was fine.Definitely recommend!!

Fabulous local run bakery serving amazing take-away sandwiches and a HUGE selection of great cakes.We visit the Garrison Bakery every other week we are around Thorpe Bay and usually buy a sandwich made with their Granary Bread and then a couple of cakes. My husband’s favourite is their Egg Mayo sandwich which is tasty and generous in size – all freshly made to order. Their sausage rolls are good too. All the cakes sampled so far have been great – our favs are banana loaf, double chocolate brownie, apple turnover, Chelsea and bath buns (they are huge but very light), red velvet cookies (please make these again only seen them on the last visit). Last visit they had a new chocolate and pear vegan brownie which looked great and hope to try next time.The cafe has a few tables/chairs inside, and another couple of tables/chairs outside.It is always busy around lunchtime and the staff are always working really hard to keep up with customer demand, and always friendly/helpful.
