Must be the most delicious cake I'd ever tried. Price reasonable for the size and number of slices you get.

We always order our cakes from The Cake Story and have done so for the last 3 years. They've done wedding anniversaries, birthdays and graduation cakes and we have always been left very pleased. Excellent service so kind and friendly. Cake tastes lovely and the chocolate ones are especially good! Cannot recommend enough!

Bride check brides Dress check venue check the next most important item the wedding cake what a disaster it arrived late to the venue so missed the booked florist when it arrived 2 hours before the bride all the fine filigree icing had melted when we did cut the cake external. Columns we used on the inside and told this is normal dowels should have been used two layer of sponge were undercooked and the upper layers had cake boards under the icing what was salvaged went to guests the rest went to the hotel bin when we confronted the cake story they said bring back the cake we did get 50 % back but his was nothing to what it did to our special day avoid wedding cakes more than one tier

Pedimos una tarta para el cumpleaños de mi marido 60. Era una tarta de foto con una foto de mi marido en su moto.Ya que no vivo en Colchester, mi hija lo organizó todo con el chico de pastel de pisos. Mi hija recogió el viernes día 6 torta de enero de 2017. Fue encantador.La foto salió muy bien y fue muy bien helado.Tuvimos nuestra celebración de cumpleaños la siguiente noche y presentado la tarta a mi marido. Él estaba encantada con él. No solamente buen aspecto pero un sabor delicioso. . . . . . Muchas gracias!

This isn't a restaurant, but a cake shop. They make absolutely delicious cakes, that also look lovely. I've been really impressed by them. Good value for money too.

Me decepcionó un pastel para mi cumpleaños número 13 hijos, vainilla con buttercream y mermelada abundante desde el comienzo era genial para el diseño que había especificado aunque sí creo que probablemente podría de hecho un trabajo tan bueno yo estuve muy satisfecho ya que no tuvimos tiempo! De todos modos una vez se cortó el pastel que estaba mortificado estaba completamente smotherd en lo que sabe como flora! Me siento enfermo thinkng respecto ahora. El pastel en sí sabe como paquete pastel y hay al lado no mermelada De hecho lo único el pastel gustos de mantequilla! Es asqueroso, yo no creo que son profesionales encargados de tarta. Voy a volver el pastel hoy en día (como nadie podía digerir ) con intenciones de conseguir un reembolso completo! Sin duda recomendamos El Pastel pisos a menos que disfruta comiendo un par de bañeras de mantequilla pura

Bought a cake on 9th March looked ok but had no taste what so ever was a complete waste of money. Will never order from them again

Needed a cake for my son last minute (because I'm always doing things last minute!) We talked through the design and the cake was very nice looking. The taste on the other hand was AMAZING! Absolutely the best cake I've ever tasted! Would highly recommend!

Good if you like cake that's been made from a mix rather than fresh. The coffee is better than the cake in this cake shop I would say.

6 Colchester RoadExcellent pub with fine selection of real ale. We received a warm welcome and were served quickly and professionally with our drinks. On a whim we decided to have lunch which was superb: I enjoyed the home made mince and onion pie in suet pastry with beautifully cooked vegetables, and my husband enjoyed the Vegetable and Quorn curry. The pub had a good crowd of regulars which made for a happy and community atmosphere. The pub is old style- just as we like it; spotlessly clean and traditional in all regards. Highly recommend this pub and look forward to visiting again when next in Bures.

Kingsford ParkSpa day for Mothers' day. Lucky that the beauty therapists were so good because it saved the day. Pool area looked very good but the aromatherapy room had nothing of aromatherapy about it and the pool itself was icy. The relazing pool was also too cold to sit in but the jacuzzi was warm: unfortunately the bubbles were absolutely violent and because so much chlorine had been used in the water, it was spat in your eyes and we had to get out, eyes streaming. So we went to get our afternoon tea: what a disappointment! When we got to the café area we were left waiting for quite some time with no one to seat us. The room was in a mess: tables covered with detritus. They only managed to clear up by getting a beauty therapist to come and clear the tables! We settled in for tea.5 minutes later we had eaten it! We each had the equivalent of 2 slices of bread cut into 4 little sandwiches. Only 2 fillings: cheese and tomato and egg mayonnaise. Usually if you go out for afternoon tea you have double this amount and are then offered more. At Ballentynes you had a couple of mouthfuls and when we asked for more were told we would have to pay for them! The one scone each was actually very nice but the cake selection was dismal, with a small piece of chocolate cake that we had to cut to share ourselves and another that looked so amateurish that neither of us wished to sample it. Absolutely nothing special about this "special Mothers' Day" event. As is often the case in hospitality the management is trying to increase the profit margin by cutting back on the quality of the offer once payment has been taken and cutting back on staff so that staff, who were, I should add, all very pleasant, are rushing around and unable to provide the expected level of service.The place is definitely not meeting it's potential. We will not be visiting again.

Cowdray AvWe have given it three tries, first, food was OK, short staffed, bad service, 2nd similar but food again was ok, tried again last night, 8pm booking, only us and a table of 4, another couple were then seated, table of 4 had finished. We ordered starters and mains, starters arrived, yes ok, having finished those they were cleared, we awaited our mains, we could see 4 main meals on the counter where the two chefs were as only us and the other couple, they had to be ours, after watching for ten minutes and still sitting there under the heat lamps, I spoke with the manager, he went to them but apparently not fully prepared, awaiting chips ? After about a further 10 minutes they were served to us, no cutlery so we had to take from the next table, the food was dry, mixed grill was awful eggs were now rubbery all meat was dry, salad was warm, the other meal was equally as bad, warm salad and small tomatoes, chicken dried out, sauce congealed. Neither edible, so mostly left. No we didn’t have to pay, but how can Two chefs not prepare 2 meals to come out fresh and hot, it’s wasn’t as if it was busy, total joke, maybe time to replace with a new restaurant team. I feel all there have become complacent. To be that empty on a Saturday evening, something is wrong.

9-10 Magdalen Street, Colchester CO1 2JT EnglandI eat here regularly but usually order it to go — they’re a little on the pricey side but well worth it. This the best Chinese restaurant for vegetarians and vegans, they offer almost all main-menu options with a veggie alternative and they’re not just replacing things with basic veg like other places. Vegan “chicken style” balls are delicious and always crispy, love the chow mein and portions are always enough to share.
