The Artcafe, West Mersea, Mersea Island. Homemade food, freshly baked cakes and delicious coffee

Welcome Back to The ArtCafe

Now back open and looking forward to welcoming you all back.

We are now open 9am-5pm everyday. Lots of outside seating and a limited number of (socially distanced) inside tables too. Our fantastic breakfast menu is back by popular demand or why not join us for lunch, proper homemade cake or just a superb coffee

About Us

Now in it’s eighteenth year the Artcafé was born out of our love for real, homemade food. From the very beginning our aim was to serve our customers the best coffee we could lay our hands on, the freshest sandwiches, imaginative wholesome dishes and genuinely homemade cakes from Maggie’s recipe collection. 


Our breakfast has become something of an institution these days where you can let the smell of freshly ground coffee waft over you as you enjoy an Artcafé full English as the perfect start to your day.


At the Artcafe you’ll enjoy the buzz of a meeting place that is the hub of the community, not too arty-farty but definitely not a ‘greasy spoon’.
