Today I found this little gem for a latte and fresh croissant at a good price
It's tucked away down towards the meat stall
Italian lady making fresh breads and rolls and pizza too,the premises are exceptionally clean and when the bread comes from the oven the aroma is delightful:
There are a couple of tables and chairs to sit inside if you prefer or you can take away.
I bought a tiger loaf and it was so fresh and delicious ,I will definitely be returning for another coffee and try a soda bread loaf next time: I'm
The lady makes fresh pizza panini's and either lasagna or tortellini to eat in or take away all very tasty
Check opening times as not open every day.

I like the cheese stall, where there is plenty to choose from and some prices are very low compared with supermarkets. I was starting to look forward to browsing this market every week, then I approached the fruit & veg stall. Oh dear, I got told off! I mustn't walk up to the rear of this, to choose a lemon for myself! I left, but not before noticing that the browning and bruised fruit wasn't nice in any case. In Braintree, I found a fruit & veg stall with lovely produce - and a welcome.

Really enjoyed it here. Well worth a visit. So many stalls and a really good vibe about the place. Nice to see a market like this still doing well.

Chelmsford Market is a good market with a variety of stalls.

Thankfully, it is not like a lot of markets, which just have a lot of cheap tacky clothes and fakes.

Stall holders in Chelmsford are very helpful

It's OK for an I door market the surprise is there is some nice food shops especially the Thai bar and noodle shop. Small Caribbean food stall (have yet to try) a good butcher and a cheese stall. Pushing a wheelchair around is good so very accessible.

Like wandering around the market. Being a Chelmsford "girl" I remember there's always been a market in Chelmsford. Theres a very nice Charity stall with a great choice of items including Christmas gifts and paraphernalia. There's also a really great fabric stall which is mainly upholstery and curtain fabrics with a wide choice of patterns and colours. Plenty of bargains to be had and a great variety of food, fruit& veg stalls. Worth a visit if you've not been yet.
Went to the haberdashery stall today to buy zips and seeing thread. This is such a great stall as it has everything you could want for sewing and such a great choice. The fabric stall opposite sells some fantastic materials for upholstery, curtains, linings, dress materials and many other things too. It is about the only place in town where you can find all your sewing requisites.
8/11/22 in market again this morning. Nice bright day and stopped for a coffee after a wander in the market. So bright and cheery with all the Christmas decorations on display to buy. And the meat counter at the Park end of the Indoor Market had a huge selection of lovely meats on display. I didn't buy anything but was tempted by the home cooked ham on display and also some lamb shanks. Think I shall pay a visit to this stall when I next need to stock up my freezer. The fruit and veg stall had some lovely items on display too.
Give it a whirl, you won't regret it 😉

At the market again today to buy some sewing requisites from the haberdashery stall. So many brightly coloured threads, ribbons, embroidery threads and much more. I bought some royal blue cotton and 3 needle threaders, which are very important tools for me when trying to thread cotton through the eye of a needle. My eyesight not as good as it once was ! Had look on the stalls selling Coronation paraphernalia and was amused by the face masks of Charles and Camilla. Loads of bunting and Union Jack hats on sale. Always enjoy browsing at Chelmsford Market.
