A little about Bonnies

Bonnie's is named after our grandmother. As two sisters who run the café, we have over 70 years of catering experience between us. We opened the café at the end of the first lockdown, and after two difficult years, it is now thriving. We serve freshly-prepared food and only use top-quality, locally sourced ingredients.

At our café in Brentwood, we home bake all the cakes and scones, and try our utmost to cater for everyone, including vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs, and people with allergies. We can also cater to private events, such as funerals, wakes, baby showers, and business lunches.

Give us a call on 01277 659351 to make a booking.
