Brew & Chew

Inside Brew & Chew

Brew & Chew is a warm and inviting café tucked along London Road in Leigh-on-Sea, offering a relaxed spot for coffee lovers and brunch fans alike. Its cosy interior makes it a popular choice for locals seeking a calm start to the day or a casual mid-afternoon break. The atmosphere balances a friendly, unhurried vibe with efficient service, making it ideal for everything from catching up with friends to family outings.

The menu speaks to both classic and creative tastes, featuring standout drinks such as the flat white, cortado, and a range of inventive lattes including pistachio, biscoff, and turmeric. Those wanting something chilled will find smoothies like Berry Express and Tropical Twist, while the food offerings—like French toast, granola, and the well-loved cheese toastie—cover the basics but with generous portions and thoughtful flavors. Vegetarians and those with dietary preferences won’t be disappointed either, thanks to well-considered options and friendly staff happy to accommodate.

Locals seem to treat Brew & Chew as a flexible spot: perfect for a hearty breakfast celebration, a laid-back lunch with friends, or a quiet coffee break with a book. The café’s charm partly comes from its approachable staff and the way it feels connected to the neighborhood—casual, sincere, and just the right size to feel like a community hub without the noise of a bustling chain. Dog owners also appreciate the friendly welcome for their four-legged companions, which adds a homey touch.

Visiting mid-morning on weekends or early afternoons during weekdays tends to be the sweet spot here, when the café hums quietly with the buzz of conversation and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The space manages to be both intimate and inclusive—a place where families, groups, and solo visitors find something to enjoy without feeling out of place.

The perfect little cosy café somewhere that was in dire need of one! Breakfast was sublime - generous portions, full of flavour and prepared quickly. There's also a fantastic selection of coffees, smoothies and sweet treats - definitely a new local favourite!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a lovely experience at Brew and Chew! The food was absolutely delicious – everything we ordered was fresh, tasty, and full of flavour. The children really enjoyed their meals too, which is always a win! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed. A perfect spot for a family meal. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

We came here for my friends 30th birthday breakfast and as a vegetarian, dairy free girly I could not hype it up more because they have such good options. The food was SO nice & if you love a customisable iced drink like me then this is the place. A great atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. 10/10 will come back next time I’m in the area

A great place for brunch. The staff are so very friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much to ask. We had duck salad and hot caramelised onions and cheese sandwich. We enjoyed the ambience in this small but lovely restaurant in Leigh on sea. Chef Kenny definitely does a great job. Thanks Ray to be so welcoming

The pistachio latte was sooooo good - the taste wasn't overpowering, just perfectly balanced, not too sweet like some other coffee shops. And the duck and waffle? Absolutely delicious, a must-try for sure! Dog friendly too !
