Don’t we all love a cozy afternoon—when the weather outside is gloomy, but you have some friends over for tea, coffee, and board games? The Gnome Café in Maldon perfectly recreates that warm, fuzzy feeling. A small and friendly room, surrounded by beautiful plants and a variety of board games to choose from, this cute café will make you feel as if you’re in your very own living room—with the added bonus of delicious cakes and the never-ending smell of velvety coffee! The menu offers a lovely variety of vegan, dairy-free milks: oat milk is free (how amazing is that?), while coconut, almond, and soya are just £0.30 extra. With friendly staff adding to its charm, this corner of Maldon can turn any rainy day into a happy one!
