Sainsbury's Cafe in Colchester

My husband told me 3 choices he would eat...out of everyone. Opted for a jacket potato, it was the smallest I have ever seen.

The fry up is vile, sits all day on hot plates or in hot water for hours... the scrambled eggs are kept floating in hot water?! Just disgusting, expensive and the staff are unfriendly. Asda cafe is much nicer.

Ok so let's be honest . I don't think anyone would expect anything special from a supermarket café .. you kinda no it's going to be some what basic but convenient. But honestly for the prices Sainsbury's charge within there café range the food is rather dry, tasteless and dreadful. And sits somewhere seriously under par with their rivals..

Useless. Qued for food for a long time due to no body readily available to take orders. Once there, despite having a full menu on display, were told we could only choose from 6 options. Then told to pay and wait... for 10 minutes! No table service, just having to stand their awkwardly as everyone else is served.No sugar free options for drinks, or diet soft drinks either- good thing theres not a sugar tax in this country....Food was average, and certainly not good value for money.

Very good food lovely staff always try to stop there to get lunch

Why do they have to put mayonnaise with everything? Menu board read "Tuna & sweetcorn" as an option to put with jacket potato but there was clearly a good deal of mayo in with the tuna. Had a jkt pot with some peas but by the time they'd sent us from one side to the other and back again to pay it was stone cold. Note to self - don't go here again.

Staff are amazing in this place!! Always polite and helpful. However the quality of the food itself has dropped hugely. For a company of this size that's poor. It's not the way it's cooked but just substandard in the quality itself. Been stopping on my way home from work over the past few years but not sure I'll continue. Big shame

I was extremely disappointed with one female worker in the bakery when I needed help. She wouldn't come near me and she could hardly hear what I was saying. I then switched on to her colleague who was lovely and really helpful. I didn't want to ask for the manager as I was with my client who specifically wanted this Sainsbury whole meal seeded bread. Some PR Training needed for this individual and she paints other staff with her *Black paint*

Always busy and popular. It's not expensive, some of the food is good and some of it pretty average. For a supermarket cafe I was disappointed to find a couple of rock hard chicken nuggets in my son's meal. They did replace all of them with no with question.

Large selection of cake and pastry's on one side along with hot drinks. Coffee was not great the syrup to coffee ratio was terrible making the drink completely unpalatable on a small size. Selection on sandwiches available and hot food they also have a kids menu. Reasonably priced.
