The Remedy Tea Shop

southend-on-sea has a coffee scene that tends to get underestimated, but the high street alone tells a different story if you know where to look. the remedy tea shop at 57 high st sits right in the middle of it, and locals have clearly taken notice. it's an independent spot doing things quietly and well, which in a town centre environment where foot traffic is relentless and expectations are mixed, is no small thing. you don't always need to travel far for a genuinely considered cup, and the remedy is the kind of place that makes that obvious. if you're passing through southend's high street at any point in the day, it's worth timing your stop here around something warm and unhurried.
