Yumy Café began with a simple idea — to create a place where everyone feels at home. Since opening our doors in 2007, we’ve grown from a small local café into a vibrant spot loved for its friendly atmosphere, quality food, and genuine service. Every dish we serve reflects our passion for good ingredients, community spirit, and the joy of sharing great taste with the people of Braintree.


From hearty breakfasts to relaxed lunches – we take pride in serving Braintree our food. Whether you’re starting the day with a classic bacon sandwich or stopping by for an afternoon bite, you’ll find honest food, local lavour and a space that feels like home. Take a look at our menu.

Brewed daily, served fresh. At yumy, every cup is made with care – from premium beans to friendly smiles. It’s more than just coffee, it’s a part of Braintree’s daily rhythm; shared between friends, neighbours and newcomers alike.

Rooted in Braintree, the town is at our core. We are a community driven – everything we do comes from the heart. Local people, genuine food and a warm welcome every time. The reviews speak for themsewlves.
















You’ll find us at 8 Little Square, right in the heart of Braintree — just off the High Street.
“I went first time in the morning on Friday. They were literally opening, and I thought, they will take ages to serve me. The staff were very kind and they prepared my breakfast in less than 10 min.
They whole place looks immaculate clean and it is a pleasure to seat down and enjoy the fresh food they make.
Congratulations to the owner for the layout and staff they have.”

“Me and my partner nearly always pop in, and we’re always greeted warmly by Charbel, who makes every visit feel personal. What makes Yumy even more special is that it’s part of the fabric of Braintree — they’ve been proudly serving the community for 19 years, and it really shows in the care and consistency they put into everything. Charbel and his family are wonderful people: warm, genuine, and truly passionate about what they do. Whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat or planning a larger event, Yumy is the place to go.”
