Madeira Cafe - Southend-on-Sea

Great food (we had the chorizo sausage starter and the lamb skewers which were plentyful in meat) and really lovely people serving

Underrated café, friendly staff, cheap but excellent Brazilian coffee. £1.50 for a flat white. Full of local regulars all day long, and abuzz with Portuguese speakers. Fill up on cheap and tasty omelettes and well-cooked café standards. Next time I will try a pastel de nata-type flaky pastry custard tart...

Very friendly and welcoming Portugese cafe on Hamlet Court Road, and I'm pleased to say they now do soya milk so as a vegan it's nice to be able to get a hot coffee on a cold afternoon!

A clean, well-presented café with a strong Portuguese customer base. Very welcoming, atmospheric, and the food and coffee both of a much better order than you have a right to expect at these prices.

Stopped here just because there were a lot of people sitting outside drinking coffee. Its basically a good clean cafe with very friendly people serving (in my case) fabulous breakfasts amongst other things. Mine was all cooked to order on a hot plate (nothing worse than hot food served up lukewarm). Fab. The coffee was top notch too. Sensible prices. I think it will become a regular stop when I come down to Southend
