The Secret Garden Tearoom in Colchester

Amazing food and served with a smile.. Tina was very happy to engage in chat and bring the food to the table, also made sure we had enough papers😉.. highly recommend the race cafe.

Use this bakery each morning. Awesome selection..all fresh...all social distancing observed and Hollie always gives a brilliant greeting.

We miss your food we hope to find new space quickly The food is number 1 in Colchester

I saw Coffee Crate on trip advisor and decided to take a drive and try out. good free parking. Friendly reception at the counter with all the lovely bakery coffee smells of the hard work going on in the kitchen out the back. We were seated in good time (one waitress) she was already pinging backwards and forwards with tickets and plates. We were taken next door where we had a choice of two tables as they were nearly full, nice atmosphere, cosy, seats were okay for the duration, tables, cutlery, glasses, cups were clean and shiny. The seating area is dog friendly, which is great for me as I love doggies and a beautiful flower Wall and matching theme looks modern. Food come out in good time presentation as expected was quite big portions Fresh bouncy bread, crisp salad and tasty crisps. Coffee was good frothy cappo and cold drink as expected, we were left feeling full and had a lovely time and felt the price was very reasonable. Overall a lovely little gem don't change! we will be back.

Looking for great coffee and a friendly space where you can feel comfortable this is the place, staff there are welcoming and willing to chat to you
