The Shed Cafe in Tendring

Visit every time we go Colchester ...great breakfast ....5*

Adore the breakfasts here, lovely staff and delicious food. Decent portion sizes and fairly priced

The shed cafe under new management.with warm and friendly welcoming. Reasonably priced breakfast freshly prepared and cooked to order.coffee, cake sandwiches, panini, toasties.

Had a brunch, absolutely gorgeous. All the food is prepped/ cooked in view and very fresh. Excellent food and service, which is why you may have to wait a few minutes for a table as so busy (Although you can book). It is also dog friendly which is a bonus in my book! Can't rate this highly enough, never disappointed with the quality.

Lovely cafe great food, atmosphere and service with a smile 😁

I WOULD PUT 0 BUT I CANT THE OPEN TIME ARE WRONG! IT IS NOT OPEN ON SATURDAYS

I ordered the Shed Breakfast. It was excellent; well cooked bacon, perfect fried eggs, mushrooms, very tasty sausages, and the rest. Good coffee, friendly staff. The food arrived quickly, and was eaten swiftly too. My first visit, I will definitely be going back.

Wonderful late breakfast with a friend. Large portions, delicious food and fantastic service

Went here for brunch today, and it was fabulous. The staff are friendly and the food was fantastic. I had the breakfast bap and loved it, and was pleased my wife couldn't finish her omelette - as that was gorgeous too. And real chips! Actually, worth going for the chips alone, but everything was first rate. Will be going again!

What a lovely little café they arrived without booking. Very busy time. The food was amazing was taken promptly. Lovely positive experience. Definitely recommend and attend to get myself.

Food good, service not that good

A great breakfast would have cost a lot more in a hotel for that quality.

The breakfast was really good and it's great that they have vegetarian options. Fair prices as well

Fantastic place. The food was delicious and fresh. Very reasonably priced. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Simply one of the best full English breakfasts I’ve ever had.

Best cafe by far .always v Is it if Going to Colchester

Great food, value for money and fantastic staff, very friendly.

Excellent food service and atmosphere I will go their again

The best mushrooms for miles. The only downside is the wait for food and hot drinks when it's busy, but it is to be expected when everything is made to order

Amazing little place and food was brilliant. Purposely went here in a recommendation and did not disappoint

Had the Shed breakfast and it was huge..... couldn't finish it but it was very nice at a decent price, will definitely go back !!

Delicious food and lovely, fresh made scotch eggs! Warning they sell out fast!

Have been here before and was a 4 but today I had a quarter pound cheese burger, and it was truly awful! This must be the cheapest brown disc labels as a burger, that a wholesaler can supply! I don’t leave food but I couldn’t eat it.

Ordered a full breakfast and scambled egg on toast, coffees were good. Then came a wait of 45mins, while people who came in after us were served. The breakfast was very good but the scrambled egg was dry, toast was hardly brown and dry Informed our order tab had got mislaid ? Our first and last time

Drove past and thought we give it a go. Well what more can I say but wow. This was the best breakfast we had ever had. Food was so tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating. Great price too. We will be going there more often.

Spotted sign for The Shed while driving from Colchester with a friend. Absolutely fantastic place. We both had jacket potatoes, one with lovely chilli, one with such a generous portion of prawns in sauce both freshly prepared with unusual salad! Best ever !

Lovely breakfast will definitely be back

Always busy, great food and very friendly owners and staff.

Great food and staff, when it's treat time that's where we go. Would recommend to everyone unless on a diet 🤣.

Another excellent meal, and wonderful service , took my sister and brother in law there yesterday and had 3 lovely meals ,many thanks

We went here straight after coming off the Harwich ferry. Opens nice and early, and serves a great breakfast. Everything cooked to order and plenty of toast too. Helpful and friendly staff. Clean loo. And a great latte to go.

Lush little cafe that actually really surprised me with a beautiful breakfast we will definitely use again

Absolutely fabulous, lovely presented food, good quality food cooked in nice clean oil, definitely recommend this cafe.

Fantastic food and the service even better. Nothing was too much trouble. Completely family friendly and went above and beyond for my 3. Trust me try the cakes lol. Thank you so much.

Great place for breakfast, plus the additional bonus of some great cars on show in the car park.

Popped in for a takeaway sandwich, made fresh to order, reasonably priced - guy running place was very polite and helpful

Super friendly, great portions and food..highly recommend..Great stop on our way back to London for a quick lunch

Fantastic brekky (The Shed). Really good value and really, really tasty. Lovely, warm and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Yum! Had all day breakfast. Very good and amount of food. Cooked well. Good price! Definitely will be back. :)

Dropped in today for a breakfast with a friend. The food, location and service were spot on. Quality food and very reasonable prices.

The outstanding place for a fry up in Colchester, sits head and shoulders above the completion locally. Staff are lovely and owners friendly and accommodating. You have to try their tomatoes 🍅 unbelievable 🤤

Can't beat it just love the shed breakfast 10 out of 10 from me

Lovely cafe with nice staff and great food.

Had the best vegetarian breakfast. Husband had the big breakfast which also looked amazing. Quick service and very friendly staff..

Myself and a couple of friends meet here a few times a year. Always a warm welcome and great food. Highly recommended

Great cafe, really friendly staff and excellent food!

This is the nicest cleanest cafe ive ever been to, the hard working family who run this are always so welcoming friendly and polite, the kids who also work there are great too , great job guys you deserve everything you strive for in life

Fantastic egg and bacon sandwiches and prawn mayo baguettes!

Beautiful peaceful location great holiday stay... Luxury tents yurts and chalets.

Happened opon this lovely clean, well run, little gem of a place. The big breakfast is a very BIG BREAKFAST even for me. Parking was perfect and plentiful, (ideal for car meets) was told there is a posh car meet there on the 1st Saturday of every month, will arrange my next Saturday visit around this for sure. Staff were excellent, food beautiful and very plentiful. This is a genuine review from a genuine happy customer Steve Hughes

Lovely food always cooked fresh nice and hot always friendly staff well worth a visit.

I had a very tasty breakfast bap, clean inside. Good service reasonable prices and a lot of interesting cars from a monthly meet.

Lovely food, great customer service. Good portions and value for money. I love this place and can’t wait to come back

Amazing food If you in the area pop in.

Stopped of for lunch on our way to Beth Chatto gardens (less than half a mile away). Nice outdoor seating. Very helpful and friendly staff. Had a veggie breakfast and a cheese/mushroom omelette with chips. Omelette really excellent, chips great. Tomatoes, mushrooms and veggie sausages also excellent. Fried eggs and hash browns a bit oily but otherwise good. We really enjoyed our meal. Around £16 for two (inc coffee).

Love this place. friendly staff 10 out of 10 for food 👍🏻

The worst coffee I’ve had since I travelled on a train

Very busy from nearby work places. 2 queues ended up forming so waited ages to be served. Ended up leaving before ordering

My wife and I popped in for breakfast yesterday morning for the first time having recently moved to the area. We’re super lucky to have this walking distance from us. Good menu with plenty of options. Very clean and modern inside. Plenty of condiments neatly displayed, napkins, sugars and cutlery all there. We both had the All Day Breakfast and it was hard to fault. Sausages and bacon were delicious and cooked just right. Perfectly cooked egg and some delicious well-seasoned mushrooms. Service was impeccable and the team of young ladies in there were very warm and chatty, each one with a beautiful smile. Look forward to going back. Perfect place for a full English, a quick bite for lunch or tea/coffee and cake.

Fantastic food, service and the staff were very friendly! My parents took me here for my birthday breakfast and everything was amazing. Will definitely be going back... (The coffee and walnut cake is OUT OF THIS WORLD too!) Thank you. 👍

On our visit it was very clean and friendly staff this was our first visit here and it will not be our last.i would recommend this place going on our experience. Food was very nice with a very meaty sausage. I had the shed breakfast and couldn't fault it.wife had the all day breakfast and she enjoyed it. Top place

Had a nice breakfast here today in the sun - choice of sitting inside and out. Nice food, quick service, good value - recommended!

Fabulous breakfast, cooked to perfection. Top quality food at a reasonable price, served with a smile.

Suggested by a friend. So glad we went. Food cooked to order and was delicious and well worth the money spent. Very friendly staff. Will definitely go again and will be telling other friends too.

Clean...good prices..staff great..food very good...

Very clean premises, staff are very polite, ingredients are all good quality and cooked well. For £8.95 you get a meal that will fill you up all day, the only gripe was it was very oily and greasy, plate was swimming in it, the hash browns, mushrooms and eggs needed to sit and drain for a min before being dished up on the plate. I would go there again but my wife would not.

What a wonderful surprise to get a rise on valentine's Day. Made my day, oh and the food was as always fabulous. 🙂

Very pleasant service and a great breakfast Bap. Prices very reasonable. A good roadside stopover. 5 stars from me.

Lovely cafe. Very clean. Staff are friendly and polite. Food is delicious and good portions for a good price. Highly recommend.

Family breakfast/brunch, 2 big breakfasts and an omelette. Food was promptly delivered, great sized portions and delicious. Lovely friendly atmosphere & good choice from the menu. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff. Nothing was too much bother for them. Wonderful food, good portion size. Chocolate cake to die for!!!! Definitely going back for more 👌😊

Best breakfast anywhere and good value for money. Staff are very friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Over priced and way to greasy

Lovely place good food and lovely pleasant staff

Great menu choices available, food was lovely and well presented, staff are very friendly. Would really recommend a visit.

We visited for the first time today (29/07/21) - we ordered a cheese & tomato omelette, a cheese panini, tea & latte. There were no paninis left so I settled for a cheese toastie. We waited nearly 25 minutes whilst people who came in after us were served before us. The omelette was ok. The toastie wasn't - it consisted of 2 slices of white bread, slightly toasted on the outside & soggy on the inside with tasteless, unmeltedcheese in the middle. There was a tired, unappetising garnish on both meals. The latte was ok the tea was too weak to make the top of the cup! The ladies who served were lovely but the bearded chap really needs a short course in customer relations! Definitely won't go back or recommend.

Very tasty breakfast, good service.

One of the best bacon baps can be bought here!

We love the shed and the food and staff

A friendly family run business that serves up a great variety of food. Best breakfast! 😋

Very friendly café and staff are fantastic. Food delicious and served beautifully .. all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back .. thank you guys ☺️ & Merry Christmas

Amazing breakfast. Lovely staff. And the hot chocolate was good too

Friendly staff, really good food and you can safely sit outside.

Tremendous food, friendly staff and good coffee. Good all round experience.

Honestly the best English Breakfast I've ever had. Lovely people and service

Fantastic breakfast as always, great friendly atmosphere

Really great breakfast and friendly staff

this is a great local cafe based on an industrial estate so can get busy during peak times, but friendly staff and a great menu choice, definitely worth a visit

I and a friend called in at the Shed last week for a light lunch which was most enjoyable. The cafe is very clean and attractive plenty of space and nice views from the windows. Staff very friendly and helpful. Wide variety of choice on the menu and all freshly cooked. I will certainly have this cafe as one of my favourite eating places.

Delicious! I had the vegetarian breakfast and the eggs were cooked how I asked them to be! Will be back again!!

Great staff excellent service brilliant food

Brilliant service and great food. A winning combination for this gem of a cafe!

Excellent coffee, friendly staff and service. Thoroughly recommend

Good friendly atmosphere, great coffee

Great selection. Very clean and tidy

First impressions last: more charm in a weathered brick wall Saved by the food, which was full and decently cooked. When there is an absence of passion in service I wonder is it the person, the culture or the bad day effect

Good food, friendly service, good prices, ample free parking(leave your lorry at home😉)

Excellent quality food, always freshly cooked. Will be going again.

Currently enjoying a very nicely cooked omelette with a fresh side salad on the plate (not just a garnish). Good coffee and a very large selection of sauces and condiments! On a office unit site but worth popping in.

Had 2eggs and beans on toast no tea cost £4.86 a ridicules price
