Mo's Cafe in Colchester

Visited this cafe for a quiet coffee while my other half had her hair at the salon across the road. This is a typical 'greasy spoon cafe', and I mean that in a good way. It is a clean, simply presented establishment, providing traditional no thrills food, served by helpful friendly staff. The real indicator to the quality of the food, is the continuous stream of patrons coming in for breakfast, construction workers, locals who from conversations going on are regular visitors. On this first visit I only had coffee, 2 excellent espressos, breakfast nexttime. If you are in the area it is worth a visit.

Been eating at Mo's cafe for a few weeks now, great breakfast, piping hot, served quickly, and plenty of it 😀 I daresay we will carry on eating there whenever we fancy a top breakfast. Thanks.

Nice friendly atmosphere and polite staff! Would recommend this cafe!!

2nd time of changing owners in last 2 years, first new owner changed a few things but still a good value for money cafe, now another owner has taken over the food quality has dropped and the prices have gone up! Such a shame, It used to be really busy now you go passed its always quiet!

It's under new management now, portion sizes can be abit small, bit after a little chat, was rectified.

Nice breakfast and generous portions, believe it is cash only. Will come back, thanks.

A cute and spacious cafeteria. Customer service and food are good. We would like to thank Mr. Haydar and Mr. Burhan.

Been here several times. Everyone very friendly. Very hot and tasty food. Very clean. Prices fair. Changed hands recently but still nice portions and good food but prices have gone up 🫤

Had a takeaway bacon roll and coffee. Bacon was nice, roll lovely and fresh, coffee was great.

BE CAREFUL !!! This has now changed hands a second time. The prices have gone up, while the quality has gone seriously down. I have tried this place on 2 occasions since the changeover and both times left the meal as it was inedible. Absolutely no care or concern from the new owner who, when told, smiles in a condescending manner and just removes the offending fare. Never an offer of replacement or alternative. AVOID UNLES YOU LIKE DISAPPOINTMENT

Nice staff, spotlessly clean. Great menu.

Came here for a light lunch as first time visiting. Really good honest food at honest prices. Decent portions and friendly staff. You can either park in tesco car park and walk over, or if there's space there's a car park right out the front. THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY!!!

Excellent cafe, good choice of food that was well cooked. Will definately use again if I'm in the area.

Recently taken over. Very clean. Great cafe food excellent £value. Extensive menu!

The cleaning that goes on here whilst waitin on a bacon butty is reassuring. Friendly staff and the bacon butty with brown sauce, delicious 👍🏼

Good food n cheerful, nothing to much trouble n great service, thanks

Great food at an affordable price , friendly helpful staff would definitely recommend Mo’s cafe 😊

I think we caught a bad day, not sure if the cook was having lessons, but could of been by sound of instructions, bacon like shoe leather, more rusk than sausage,.... etc,

Get food here every Saturday always bizzy great place

Had a breakfast, had the ability to build my own, and you can add as many things as you like. Very reasonable price and quick service.

Home cooked food at reasonable prices

Amazing pit stop for some grub before some mountain bike action!

Always really Lovely food and friendly happy staff .

Great place to eat and very friendly staff.

Really friendly people who work in there and breakfast was one of nicest breakfast had for a while

Bright and clean, lovely warm welcome as we walked through the door. Food was excellent, good sized portions. Extremely reasonable price. Think we have found our new favourite cafe for when we visit Tiptree and The Cheap Shop.

Really tasty breakfast. Friendly staff

Lovely food and lots of it. Friendly and very helpful

Called in for a coffee and lunchtime snack. Pleasantly surprised, a really large selection enough to cover most people's needs. With the current situation it's as cheap to eat at Mo's. No home heating, meet people for a chat. Does a really good home made garlic mayo, a must try. disfrute de su comida Enjoy your food.

Great place to eat. Stopped for first time when travelling home and glad we did. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food brilliant. Would definitely visit again and recommend others try as well.

Extensive menu . Food was good. Very clean. Bit of a language barrier though. We wanted to make our own breakfast as menu said you could. But man wanted us to just pick a set breakfast I think.. There was a horrible body odour issue aswell .. This put us off a bit.. Felt like we was being watched by the lady who was constantly pacing around waiting for a table to vacate so she could spray it. But they are very friendly people. The fact its cash only is somewhat unprofessional,inconvenient and I always wonder about cash only places... Loads walked in and wanted to pay by card.

Used to like coming here but Mo has gone and been replaced by new owners slouched all over the counter who do not a clue how to run the new business. How about starting with walking in, sitting down without any of them even saying hello. They do not have a clue and certainly should not suceed.

Very tasty food wonderful staff friendly always to all customers happy to serve and helpful been going there since new owners took over Alex ozzy and baran are lovely people all customers very welcome try there food it great highly recommended 😀 😋 😊 lovely salads for the summer as well Mmm prawn cheese and ham salad cheese omelette tomatoes bacon all lovely cooked to perfection 🥰

Been going here, on and off, for years. Good food, good prices and service. Better than any Wetherspoons.

Good food and friendly service!

First time in Mos cafe today. Travelled from Ipswich to meet my brother and sis in law after they'd travelled 5 hours from Lancashire to view a property nearby . We all had a lovely breakfast and cuppa each, great value for money, very tasty, staff very friendly. Will definitely go back on next visit to Basildon.

Great cafe very clean food really good

It gave 4 people food poisoning from the bacon and has made people feel sick as was doing a energetic activity and was bad for them. Never going again, terrible

looks like mo,s as been sold , shame because it was the best cafe for miles ..for friendly staff . quick service ..and spick and span at all times..i will miss it as will the people i went with ...will will miss mo and all her lovely staff xx

What a shame the cafes bin taken over use be good quality food now it’s a Turkish happy shopper cafe poor quality food

The new owner is so rude to start. it's such a shame he has dropped all of the local fresh suppliers. ie Stonefield veg and Clough eggs in choice of cash and carry. It sure will be a sad loss to the community from here on out

A great breakfast and a proper cup of Tea...

Very busy cafe great breakfast parking outside

Really lovely cafe, ladies where very nice, the car park was busy but I was able to park just down the road. The portions where large and it was well priced too! Service was quick and the food was lovely 👍 will definitely be back!!

Great service ! Friendly staff, decent portions ! What a cafe should be like ! Can’t rate it enough and will be coming back regularly !

Been going here for years it's such a friendly atmosphere, service is fantastic and the food excellent

Great food friendly staff and great services will be having my full English there from now on definitely recommended this cafe too anyone in or near Tiptree and a decent cup of tea to boot

We had great food and cheerful, chatty and helpfull staff. You wont eat for the rest of the day after lunch here. We will be back. Very clean.

It's 2021 where most place have plenty of great Vegan options! This place wont even cater for Vegetarians properly. 😕 Very disappointing! It's not hard to stick some Veggie Sausages in the freezer for when needed

Excellent value, very friendly staff and delicious food.

Cannot recommend Mo's enough, been going for almost 20 years, food always honest, clean, hygienic, and plentiful at a great price. Number one for me.

I have been going for years and I will be going back for years to come. Iv not had bad meal. The staff are friendly and helpful and go to the extra mile to give you a lovely experience

Love the morning breakfast cant start day with out it

I have no idea, never used it, but they say it's Great

Really good cafe, really clean girls and food are great. Highly recommend.

The best cafe ever, plenty to eat breakfast or lunch. You won't get better food anywhere else. The staff are absolutely superb. Very friendly, helpful, polite. This cafe has the full package. It's a must for all.

Great service Great portions Great prices Would definitely recommend

Nice clean cafe, eat in or take away. Opens at 4am too

Had a fantastic hot fresh lunch today, last customers of the day, then government closed everything down. We sincerely hope you can re open soon and we can re visit. Good luck! Brian & Gail.

Great cafe , realy nice staff and food is outstanding ,

This was my second visit, what an absolutely wonderful place. Food is delicious, hot cooked to order and very friendly. I would definitely recommend it, give it a try, you won't be disappointed x

Nice place to grab a coffee while waiting for the infrequent bus service. Friendly staff.

Huge portions of food, cheerful staff. Great worker's cafe.

Great food and tea. Will go there again.

Just ask for breakfast with bacon egg and chips. Nowhere near to touch it

Iconic Tiptree landmark. Massive portions, great price.

Great traditional cafe. Good quality, large portions and a good choice of food. Friendly staff and low prices.

I went here to allow room for my family to enjoy there meal after another pub over booked and didn't have enough room for the whole party.Ugh. I lived in tiptree for years and used Mos cafe regularly if i fancied a real nosh up. The food then was always excellent when Mo was alive and can confirl that the standards haven't dropped. It is always busy and there is a wait whilst the food is freshly cooked. But well worth the wait with top quality food and plenty of it at a sensible price. Keep up the good work. 5 STARS

Amzing fresh food love to go on my lunch break

Visited about 6am Saturday morning. Bloody beautiful food. The friendliest people and brilliant service. Had the fry up and all cooked to perfection! Don't mind paying £6/£7 when the food is good. Would 100% recommend and will be going back 😍

Nice place ... But no toilet or hand washing facilities.

This is the best fry up in the Colchester district by a million miles. Service is fantastic. The portions are spot on for the working man or woman. Coffee is great. The price is winnings such great value for money being a proper greasy spoon except you get way more than what you pay for.

Been going there for over 20years wonderful place and wonderful Staff excellent service ...

Always top food. nice staff. Does get busy. Small seating area outside

Village institution with good food.

My go to cafe weather I'm on my own or with the famo good variety of grub at a good price, keep up the good work ladies
