On my way home fancied a jacket and salad..popped in and ordered with cheese and beans..had extra coleslaw..and a side salad garnish.. The plate came out with a good sized portion of everything..(compared to other cafes)..I struggled to eat it all..very tasty homemade coleslaw..and the potato was not dry (compared to others elsewhere)..would highly recommend..very clean place..staff very friendly and I felt very relaxed and enjoyed my visit..will go there again..value for money..and a good selection of choices.. Thankyou to the owners.

Traditional cafe and a good one. Excellent friendly service. Good choice of food which can be ordered in any number of combinations and sensibly priced.

I've visited Vinny's twice in the last few days. The first time I was really impressed with both the quality of the food and, perhaps even more so, it's presentation I don't think I've ever seen such well presented food in this kind of place So today I noticed there was a different chef and a different waiter and wondered whether it would be the same. Perhaps it just been a one of but no, it was incredible again; beautiful food really well presented! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Simply excellent! I have eaten here twice in the last few days. Each time everything was perfect. Today I noticed that both the chef and waiter were different and wondered whether I would notice a difference but, again, perfect. The ingredients very high quality. For example, Im a fan of black pudding so opted for it as an extra each time. Some of the best I've had anywhere. Most notable I'd say is the presentation of the food. I must have eaten in hundreds if not thousands of cafés serving similar renditions English breakfast and the like but if I don't think I've ever seen a place that presents the food so perfectly before. Different chef today but presentation equally perfect as my visit of a few days ago. Please visit this restaurant, especially if you are a tourist from abroad. English food often has a bad reputation but come here and help us set the record straight for you!

First time at vinnys cafe as I wanted to find a cafe that was reasonable priced as fed up with paying £7 for a sandwich in other cafes !! Best & cheapest egg sandwich I have bought in Colchester , fresh bread and my eggs were very well done as asked for 😊 perfect lunch & drink just under £4.50 !! Will be returning again . Very happy customer

9.99 for a poor quality breakfast and cup of tea. There is surely better elsewhere. Mushrooms were actually the best thing about it Sausage was something you would feed a dog providing your dog isn't fussy. My dog would have bit me if I tried to feed him it probably though

This is a great cafe with a menu full of classic meals such as an all day breakfast, jacket potatoes and nuggets and chips for the children. The food was served quickly and the staff also made sure we were comfortable with checking if we needed a high chair or not. Vinnys is the place to go if you want a quick meal, which is value for money and not a chain.

If you want a five star restaurant, then you are in the wrong place. The food is good though, and the service is prompt. I have never been there when it has been overcrowded, so I can't comment on the atmosphere. The staff have always been polite and helpful. It is okay. I particularly like their cottage pie. Comes with a good portion of veg as well.

Discovered this little gem when craving a cooked breakfast. The staff here are amazing, very friendly and really lovely to talk to. I have eaten out in similar café environments or the more expensive restaurants but this is the only place I have really felt like the staff care about the customers and I can't praise them highly enough. The food was gorgeous too, my cooked breakfast was extremely hot, not at all greasy, very tasty and the portion size was perfect, lots of it! Great cup of tea to accompany it too. I am not ashamed to admit I came back the following two days and wouldn't choose anywhere else for a similar meal in Colchester. Fantastic place, clean and tidy, prices are very reasonable and extremely welcoming and friendly staff.

Vinnys can be found on the outskirts of town. It's clean which for a Greasy Spoon is a start. Pretty good service and the food was alright. It's a bit on the expensive side. Maybe cus we are from the North I thought until you go into the town centre and find all other places doing all day breakfast are a tad cheaper. Decent anyway.

I have been to this on many occasions for a quiet dug with friends. I have also been in quiz night and a sat where there are a few more people in the bar. It has a small beer garden and a great selection of ales. It is close to the town centre and the owners are brilliant. Highly recommend this place.

Outstanding service and atmosphere. The food was at best passable. The building is a beautifuly preserved listed building with some questionable modern annexe that makes a rather brutal contrast with a half timber building. One would have to wonder how the developer managed to get planning permission for such a crude and no doubt expensive extension!
