Pasha Cafe - Braintree

I ordered a veggie breakfast wrap which included scrambled egg. The egg in the one I got was fried, not scrambled. Ok, but not as nice as I was expecting. The entire thing was very salty too. Then my friend and I had a dessert. Mine was lemon cake and cream; again just ok. Perhaps I should have checked first, but the cream was that horrid squirty stuff, not real cream. When I paid for the two desserts (one was £4.90 and the other £4.20) I was charged £10.60! I went back and was refunded the difference no problem, but as I was never given an itemised till receipt in the first place, it seemed a bit odd. Oh yes, and we were given a knife and fork to eat the desserts which was funny, but careless.

Haven't visited in around a year. It's a shame to say the quality of the food has gone downhill while the prices have skyrocketed, I understand we're in a cost of living crisis but come on £30+ for 2 meals drinks? It's cheaper to order a takeaway from almost anywhere else! The quality of the meat, in particular the sausages was much poorer than it used to be, very obvious they're using cheaper ingredients now despite price rises. Waitresses however were both very pleasant, helpful welcoming. Interior is also nicely decorated too, although if anything a little bit cramped. Seems they've ditched the table service too as you now have to go to the counter to order pay before you eat. Save your money go elsewhere.

Went in for breakfast and now I feel sick. Cheap ingredients used, sausages were more filler than meat, only got 3 mushrooms, snotty eggs. Weak tea with no taste. Over £30 for two breakfasts with two teas. No wonder they now make you pay first when you order. Avoid this place at all costs. I certainly won’t be going back to get scammed again.

Was treated like rubbish and told that I should have known the entire menu by the 3rd day I had started working there. I got fired on the 4th day for asking to go home at 2pm which I had been going home at for every day I had previously worked. Carmen got very angry and said I need to grow up and I didn’t understand how businesses work. Bare in mind the reason I asked to go home at 2pm is because that was the only time I would be able to get picked up. I told her I can ask my mum if I can get picked up later and she proceed to tell me ‘no this is non-negotiable, take your money and hopefully you can find a better job. You’re a lovely girl but you need to grow up’. I didn’t know what I had done and tried to help my case but she wasn’t listening and told me to leave. Rude rude rude owners but lovely waitresses/waiter. I do not recommend if you are looking for a job.

Had a great lunch here. The service was excellent and the team friendly. I had the club sandwich which comes with chips. It was huge and very filling ! My wife had a panini which was very tasty. We originally planned to go to a different venue but they didn’t serve lunch after 2 pm but now very glad we came here. We will definitely be back !
