Eatons

Eatons is a great pitstop for you and your dog when you're wandering around in Braintree. If it's winter, you'll definitely want to head upstairs to their comfortable lounge area, where there are sofas aplenty. During summer, you can grab a seat outside – perch yourself under a parasol and enjoy the summer sun with your dog at your feet. There is plenty of great coffee, teas, and soft drinks. The food consists of some classic cafe grub, as well as a range of healthy options such as salmon and eggs with avocado. There are plenty of cakes available too. They have a good gluten free range, with gluten free bread that can be used for toasties and sandwiches.

Please note that this one is based within the George Yard Shopping Centre, which may have certain rules of its own about dogs.
