My last stop of my day
in Southend is this quirky little café, just down the road from The Mad Hatter
Tearoom, The Lemon Witch Kitchen (who’s logo is a witch…with half a lemon on
its head) is lovely from the second I step in the door and the smell of fresh
crepes hits me (you may not know this but I LOVE crepes) and throws me back to
memories of Swirls (now unfortunately closed) and their Nutella Swirl Bannana
masterpiece but let me tell you, the Lemon
Witch equivalent, called a ‘Cheeky Minion’ is just as good if not better! A
warm crepe filled with Nutella, topped with banana slices and dusted with icing
sugar? Perfect!
There are a few things
I really love about this place. The tiny wooden signs that cover the walls
baring slogans such as ‘life begins after coffee’ or ‘happiness is not a
destination, it’s a way of life’ it gives you a smile as you look around the
room but my favorite thing has to be the wooden tables dotted around the room
all have their middle slat painted in chalkboard paint and a little cup of
chalks on it, prefect as a distraction for the little ones as the café’s social
media shows or to literally illustrate your point!
They are proud to
offer gluten free options for all of their crepes and the chalk board behind
the till shows that they do special events for holidays like the Valentines Day
cookie and crepe decorating. I love the relaxed, stripped-back feel of the bare
wood and wire lampshades in the room and I’m very tempted to fall asleep on the
really comfy sofa here, after all the goodies I’ve had today, especially
because its raining outside and so cozy in here!
A comfy, relaxing place
for a snack and a cuppa, if I lived closer, I’d never leave!
