Nice little tea room with plenty of options for drinks and food. Popular place to visit as always busy but can always find a seat. Staff friendly and polite. Service good.

Can't comment on food as not able to sample any. Very disappointed to find much less than a warm welcome at 3pm today - the cafe was closed we were told, despite advertising a 4pm closing time on site and on the website. No explanation offered. Part of the charm of a visit to By-Pass Nursery is being able to get a coffee after a good forage for plants and gardening supplies - not today though.

Not a good experience and the food was far too expensive compared to all the other cafes and restaurants we use.

Lovely sandwich and soup. Dog friendly too

First time I had eaten here in a number of years and I don't think I will be rushing back soon. We both had bacon sandwiches which were smothered in sauce. I would have preferred to put my own sauce on.
On a plus point our drinks were nice.
Tired decor does little for the atmosphere. Could have been cleaned a bit as well as many cobwebs around.

Popped in for a coffee on our way home from Colchester. Had a gloriously hot coffee and a warmed cheese scone. Staff were super friendly and efficient

Food is good but overpriced for what it is.
The atmosphere is good but can become quite cramped.

I had the bakewell cake which was nice but a bit crumbly, the scone was good, it came warm but without cream which I found unusual. This place is a bit overpriced in my opinion at £4.95 for the cakes and £3.95 for the hot drinks. Chairs are wooden and not very comfortable but ok for the short amount of time we were there.

We had 2 slices of cake and unfortunately both were really dry and disappointing definitely past their best.The flavours were nice but far too dry.All the colleagues were really great polite,friendly & efficient.Did feel sorry for the lady struggling with the queues on her own while another lady looked on without really helping her which was a shame , she coped really well but really needed the other colleague to step up and take the pressure off.Some areas were a little tired but overall I would go back as there was a great selection of plants and varieties of pets.
