The Christian atmosphere really encircles the place with love, and that comes over in the way the staff serve the customers.
The food is great, the prices are great too.
All in all a fantastic place to stop and relax. This is my second time there, and I reckon it won't be my last.
Have had many visits and enjoyed every one. The food and drinks are delicious, The staff are always very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend a visit. Thank you Oak Tree �
Helpful friendly staff, lovely cakes, great coffee (and tea), good menu with lots of choice and very fair prices. What's not to love? ❤️
Thanks to Susie and her team for helping me and Cheryl arrange a fantastic afternoon tea baby shower for Alison. Nothing was too much trouble even though we had a lot of dietary requirements. I would highly recommend this venue if anyone else is thinking of arranging a similar event!

Lovely coffee shop affiliated to St. Lukes church. Polite friendly and helpful staff. Service good. Located in Highwoods next to Tesco . Some pleasant views. Convenient for the bus service approx 100m away.
Really well managed with social distancing and cleanliness. They were really accommodating with dietary requirements. The Brie and red onion panini was A1 and the chocolate muffin was 🤤. Really friendly staff. Would recommend you go there. 👍🏼
Great little cafe with friendly staff and a good vibe

Best coffee shop in colchester
Have been in a few times for a drink and food and have always been very impressed. Staff are very friendly and engaging.
The food and drinks are very good quality and fresh.
Keep up the great work all!! :-)
Food and service were very good.
Food portions are big and taste amazing
Great social distancing measures, it felt really safe and yet still friendly, the food was delicious as always. I highly recommend the goats cheese and red onion chutney panini. The smoothies and frappes are great on hot days.
Had afternoon tea with friends lovely staff couldn't do enough for us, food was lovely value for money. Only thing that was disappointing was the hot drinks weren't hot they were warm every time
Great place, excellent and kind service, children welcomed, will be back!
