Perrywood Coffee Shop in Colchester

This is a very well run and popular garden and home decor centre. It has very good parking facilities and it is well laid out for ease of access. The cafe is extremely popular and one seating area has pleasant views across the valley. It is well worth a visit whether you need anything or not as there is a lot to see.

I have been here many times and every time has been a great experience. I love the plants and decor here, they have a great toy section also. The plant choices are vast and wide ranging. The restaurant is efficient and easy to find a seat. The cake choices are great and they taste amazing. The food in general is very very good. Can just be a pain to get a parking spot and don’t make the mistake and get stuck in the compost car line

One of my favorite garden centres for house plants! They've got a good range, and it's great to see some more unusual plants, too. The staff seem very friendly, they have a great coffee shop, and all the plants look very healthy.

Excellent as always. New layout even better. Fantastic range of plants and associated products. Always stop off at the café because the food is really good and the service first class. Recommend a visit. Oh, yes, not to forget ample parking for disabled, which saves my wife having to walk far too the front door.

Great for a half day out just walking through their wonderful displays of plants etc to buy for the garden. Lots of other areas to buy gifts, clothes, tools etcThe café is extremely popular and works by being given a menu to peruse whilst navigating through the hot and cold drinks to order at the till. The food is then brought to your table. Lots of choice and extra plates are available for those wanting a lighter lunch by sharing.The dining area needs some large plants / drapes to stop it sounding like a church hall but that did not spoil our enjoyment.Going back very soon.

I have been coming to Perrywoods for 25years and watched it grow from a small local nursery to a fantastic independent garden centre. Staff are just as passionate about what they do and the focus is very much on plants but there is now a huge range of gifts, clothes, garden furniture and seasonal garden accessories as well as championing local produce and crafts. Explore all this and then stop for a cream tea - it can’t get much better! The café is delightful, perfect range of light lunches, delicious coffee and, of course, cake - lots of gluten free options too.

Very welcoming garden centre, as soon as you enter the shop it's all presented beautifully. Nice clean & spacious restaurant. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, very hard toast which felt like it had been cooked once and then reheated. We didn't have cake on this occasion but they are quite expensive per slice.Huge Christmas decoration display, all laid out and themed very nicely. Over all a great place to go but feel like there is room for improvement for the cafe.

Lovely food, lots of choices - main meals lunches, snack, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Amazing Christmas decorations and a wide variety of different plants pots and accessories

Great garden centre with large car park and level access.Very large restaurant too.Fantastic choice of plants and all of your other gardening needs.The staff are all very knowledgeable and helpful. If they cannot help you they will call a member of staff who can.At this time the new Christmas decorations department is now open.Wonderful place to spend a few hours browsing and purchasing.

If I could find a corner so I could pitch a tent and stay for a couple of nights I would.. my second visit and its amazing, well laid out and full of plants, lots of plants, you are spoilt for choice. Theres also a cafe and a restaurant, nice places to sit and soak up the atmosphere and the smells.
