Reviews of Coffee Hog Prettygate

Great place to take the kids. Love the little play area, keeps little one busy whilst Mums can enjoy a coffee in peace! The babyccinos are a wonderful additional and at a superb price too. Highly recommend!

If Jesus went to this Café, he would literally say 'Oh my dad! That was amazing'. I couldn't fault the food or service, exceptional. If I wasn't so poor I'd probably throw some shares into the company to keep it running forever. Bare nice grub, Nutella hot chocolate made me hard as a woodpeckers lips, it was that nice!

First time coming to this establishment. What a lovely place! Such a nice, calm, clean and welcoming atmosphere. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Yes, the food is a little pricey, however... the food is cooked with a lot of care and attention! I would even say lovingly. I had a full English for £13 and it was really quite delicious, and i would have no qualms paying that again. The thought, even with the temperature of the food, was really impressive. Such as the baked beans on toast for my four year old, it was actually ready to eat and not like lava. The child play area is also fabulous and well thought out. My sister in law was impressed and shocked at the toilet facilities, which are honestly like a posh hotel/boutique! All in all, this is probably our new favourite place to eat/chill with the children! Amazing.

We do breakfast in places every other weekend and i can honestly say this has been THE BEST!!! I had the avocado on toast and hubby had full english, he agrees on it being the best!!!

This cafe is just gorgeous to sit and have catch up with your friends. I’ve been to both beaches and they are really lovely. I ordered an open sandwich and opted for the herby tatties and wow it was all so delicious. Really great price for the quality of food served. The workers were very friendly and efficient. I’ll be making many returns for more coffee and lunch catch ups!

Absolutely brilliant place for families. We always make sure we book before we go as it's always so busy! Brilliant food, coffee and sweet treats with great deals for children. Will definitely be returning again and again!

Breakfast was perfectly cooked and presented, coffee was lovely, place was airy, tidy, clean and has an area for kids to play in, highly recommended.

Visited for the first time today, fantastic food and service. Highly recommended. Although need more tables 😃

This cafe only opened yesterday in Prettygate after a much needed venue like this for years. There is a lovely play area for babies and children with some props like ikea kitchens and play foods and a couch area in the opposite corner. It has lots of space to manoeuvre a pram around and plenty of seating area. Delicious brownies and great coffee. Decaff and milk alternatives available. Food also available but haven't tested it yet.

Lovely place for breakfast or lunch. Excellent quality food and service. Would have given 5 stars but £13.00 for a Full English Breakfast is too expensive.

C. P.

Really lovely cafe. Staff were super, the lunch was delicious, and the cake was fab! The children loved the play area too.

.Went today...1/12/22. Nice varied menu . Best brie and bacon panini I have tasted. Prices seem ok for the quality of food. Popular venue for mums with babies and very young children as there is a small play area. Has many regular followers and an undoubted success.

S. M.

What an amazing place. Packed with people of all ages. Complete with a crèche area for the littluns, an area to work/study and lots of great food/coffee! Plenty of Veggie options available too :)

C. E.

Beautiful, pretty, great grub, great staff, toddler and dog friendly. 10/10. Our new local. 🎄

B. W.

A busy place to visit. You have to book. Food was good. I had the full English, which was lovely.

J. C.

I have just visited this tranquil venue for a business meeting this morning. I don't often find myself selling accountancy services to clients in such a relaxed and airy coffee shop environment. Friendly staff, spacious floor plan and a variety of food and drink available. Thank you for a great opportunity to do business. Highly recommended.

S. M.

Lovely place out of town, food very tasty 😋 would definitely return. Great place to take children they have a play area.

E. B.

Nicer play area for children than William Harris Way. I like that it has little "fence" so it is easier to control where your child is going. Tasty food and lovely staff. As the other location, bit pricey (full english cost around £13) and coffee could be bit warmer but all in all happy with the place.

Been coming to coffee hog for a long time now and every experience here is always a good one. Amazing quality food, decor is beautiful and welcoming and the staff are so bloody brilliant! Honestly you will not find a better place to eat and socialise, if you haven't already (don't know why you wouldn't have 😳)then check it out!

I can't say enough about how great it is to have a community cafe in this part of Colchester. The cafe itself is fairly large, with a small children's play area which makes it attractive for parents with young kids. The menu is varied, although the vegetarian/vegan indicators on the menu behind the counter were really hard to see. I didn't see a paper version so can't comment on whether it's any better up close. There weren't any vegan cakes as far as I could tell, which is a shame. The soya latte had a strong nutty flavour to it - not unpleasant, but not what I expected either. At £2.50 it wasn't unreasonable but the odd taste means I won't rush back. When I visited mid-morning, the place was busy and it felt like the staff were rushing to fulfil orders - and I must admit to feeling a little ignored while I stood at the counter. However, if you're not in a hurry and/or you're staying in for food/drink then it's a pleasant enough place to while away an hour.

Oh the breakfast...! Gorgeous food, great coffee, and a lovely place - so good to see it busy and lets hope it stays that well, really nice indeed!

Food here is exceptionally well made. Hash brown is really nice. A bit expensive.

It seems to be mother & babies day on Wednesdays .so will miss that day .coffee good , cakes like everywhere expensive. But breakfast good

Coffee Hog is a lovely place to meet up with friends and enjoy a hot beverage.

The service & breakfast was very good. It was busy when we visited, staff were friendly & efficient. The cafe itself was incredibly noisy with other diners chatting & children playing. I'm not sure what can be done about the acoustics in there but the noise seemed to be amplified.

A. S.

Had lovely hot chocolate and tuna sandwich. The decor was great too. 👍

I visited Coffeehog for the first time, earlier this week. The kids play area was perfect for our 2 year old who loved it, the coffee shop looks great and the service was excellent from start to finish. We had some brunch which we loved and it was fairly priced. Will definitely be going back regularly!

A. M.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast- we all had something different and all the meals were superb. Lovely interior. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

C. H.

One of my favourite places! Excellent food and drink and not ridiculous pricing

First impressions just what Prettygate has needed for years. It was busy when we called in for coffee and cake but we were quickly served and managed to get the last table. Looking round it was full of people of all ages. Great thought has gone into making a secure children's play area as well. Food and coffee were excellent and well priced. We will definitely be back.

A. L.

Really glad when these guys opened a venue in our area. Nice space, great selection of savoury food (open sandwiches, panini's, classic breakfast/brunch options) and drinks. Only downside of my experience is that front of house appears a bit undermanned leading to a bit of a wait for punters and a bit of rushing about for the staff. That lead to both my food and drink not being correct. That wouldn't stop me from going again or making it a regular haunt.

G. W.

I have been to the coffee hog a few times now for the full English breakfast and each time it has been perfect. The tomato’s on the vine are a lovely touch much better then the normal tinned ones you get at other places . I look forward to going again. Thank you

S. M.

Nice little spot in the centre of Prettygate, which seems to be more than just a coffee shop but a thriving hub of the community. Nice coffee plus a place where mums and toddlers can meet up for what appears to be organised events.

L. S.

Amazing place for a coffee and a bite to eat! Be sure to book as it is very popular.

C. L.

Such a lovely relaxing place to come for a catch up with friends or family and bring your kids along! Great play area for the kids whilst enjoying a coffee.
