Nice to see this lovely cafe reopen..felt nice and safe..as always very friendly atmosphere..all food of a very high standard..best coffee in Colchester

This is an independent cafe without the pretentiousness that is so popular nowadays. Good coffee and breakfast and you can ask for amendments without an issue. Fair price

Very good, delicious, home-cooked food at very reasonable prices. Top class friendly service. The caffe is spotlessly clean. The service is prompt and the staff make you feel very welcome.
