Paddy & Scott's • Colchester in Colchester

The coffee is just better than the usual Costa or Starbucks

Pretty industrial style decor and clean looking. Only one 'comfy' style furniture. Queue was short at the time I visited. Had a hot chocolate, which was pretty good (and I'm very picky about my choccy). Can't comment for the coffee. The aircon was set to arctic cold, and I couldn't wait to get out instead of shivering in my coat.

Very nice place with friendly staff..

It's okay.. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax this isn't the place but it's good for groups and Collab. The service: It's generally slow all the time because they deal with waves of orders. Often the tables are full of rubbish for some time before cleared. The drinks: Overpriced for substandard drinks and for those that want alternative milk it will cost you 65p extra! Ouch The Food: Utter trash.. this is the thing that annoys me the most Paddy and Scott are in a lot of leisure/fitness centers and the food and snacks options are unhealthy and overpriced mass produced trash. Totally disappointing.. and they have hardly any allergen info presented against the baked goods so you have to ask if they know adding to the slow ordering..

Nice coffee shop near the facilities. The coffee is hit and miss and prices are a bit steep recently

Very tasty 😋 coffee ☕️ and very friendly staff

Nice modern and clean coffee shop. Coffee is excellent. Dogs allowed. Staff are friendly and helpful. Their rocky road desert is excellent. Edit update May 2024. The service seems to have gone down hill. Waited to be served for several minutes, while staff were in conversation, looked at me but just continued conversation. Not impressed! Left without ordering a drink. I shall not be revisiting. Review downgraded.

Used to be great coffee here, but very disappointing on my last few visits. Very expensive £3.45 for a terrible flat white thats not made correctly. Also, 65p for alternative milk is an absolute rip off. Well overpriced. I’m hoping they can bring it back to how it used to be.

Brilliant leisure Centre cafe with great staff

Very pleasant. Quality food and service

The cakes and coffee are excellent but the service is extremely slow.

Nice range of drinks and nibbles.

Not the biggest place. Lovely fresh locally baked cake and coffee.

Great specious cafe, not too busy too. Some nice walks by the rugby club.

Great coffee and food, nice place come work from or with family.

Liked it here. Our grandson had a lot of fun.

Great place for coffee. But they only serve snacks so not so good for lunch especially if you're gf or vegan. Coffee is good and you can bring dogs

Friendly and good coffee, was a bit quiet

Clean and tidy. Could have been a bit warmer.

Great staff and a lovely location

Nice chill out area in the sports center

Decent coffee, nice and roomy setting

Love this place.love the coffee ☕️

Coffee lovers will enjoy their trip here. Its 10 metres along than the services nicer environment small range of sandwiches cakes etc...

Service is good, coffee not really that flavoursome and wasn't compensated for by the ethical blurb. Snacks are expensive.

Great variety of drink menu options and really good value! Staff are really helpful, happy and go above and beyond expectations. The coffee and snacks are tasty too. I would give a 5 star review but the lack of Fruit to buy is a let down. I've asked on 3 occasions over the past 12 months but Fruit is not an option. It's a shame when there is a baby tots club twice a week. This is the time to impress upon children that eating healthy is important and not just cake and biscuits as a snack. Thank you

Delicious coffee and service with a smile. Lovely cakes too 🤗

Really enjoyed our visit here this morning, for a little stop on our walk. Amazing coffee, plenty of seating inside and outside. All the cakes inside looked delicious plus they have a great variety of dairy free milk options too! Can't wait to go back.

Great coffee, tasty cakes and loads of space for sitting or for kids to run around outside. The soft play sessions in the week at the sports centre are brilliant too.

Basically more staff needed in the cafe generally only one person and the wait is far to long especially if you are short of time! Had to leave today as wait to long.
