The Glasshouse

Coffee ShopsEssexEssex

The Glasshouse is an independent café in Essex. From the independents of Leigh-on-Sea and Colchester to the village cafés of the Rodings and Saffron Walden, Essex's coffee shops are quietly excellent — run by locals, for locals, in market towns that deserve better than their reputation.. A proper cuppa and a welcome you won't get from a chain.
