SAFFRON WALDEN'S ORIGINAL DINER
SINCE 1970!
We take pride in every dish and drink we serve, and nothing makes us happier than seeing you enjoy them!
Located in the heart of Saffron Walden, The Mocha is a family-owned, retro-style diner serving great food and drinks, seven days a week.
Our food is freshly prepared and cooked to order using quality ingredients — no shortcuts, just good, honest, old-fashioned cooking. Whether you’re dining in or ordering ahead to collect, we look forward to welcoming you.
All our dishes are available for takeaway (collection only).
We offer:
- Seven breakfast set choices, cooked to order and served all day!
- Weekly specials and traditional puddings
- Children’s menu
- Lunchtime lite-bites: baguettes, sandwiches and jacket potatoes
- Burger menu – includes the famous ‘Gannet burger!’
- Sunday roasts – just like your mum used to make
- Ice cream & thick shakes in dozens of flavours!
- Freshly ground bean-to-cup coffee and speciality drinks menu
- Beers and ciders as well as alcohol-free versions.
We have multi-functional use toilets, baby-changing facilities, and wheelchair-accessible premises. And yes, we are dog-friendly too!
“No need to book. Just roll up, chill out, and enjoy.”
Dietary Requirements
We offer several vegetarian options and can adapt them to be vegan as well.
Our menu has several gluten-free choices; e.g. all breakfasts are gluten-free, apart from bread and veggie sausages. We offer oat milk as a lactose-free alternative.

Did you know we do gift vouchers?
Do you know someone who loves a classic Mocha Fry-Up or just some traditional Great British grub? A Mocha Gift Voucher is the ideal gift, all year round!
We love buying local and are proud to source ingredients from local Saffron Walden businesses, including Burtons Butchers, Wood St. Coffee, and Dorringtons Bakery. Supporting the Mocha means supporting our local community as well.
