What RoamingRowly likes about Pumpkin Cafe:
Located within Colchester 's main railway station (COL) previously known as North Station. Rather than wait on the eternally cold and windy platforms why not sit in a comfy chair, watch the news and check the departure boards whilst sipping a great coffee? The prices are about the same as all other railway chains and you can get 20% off of your bill if you have a 'Bite ' card which are free but you must get one befor... View all feedback. What AlexJ262 doesn't like about Pumpkin Cafe:
Wide ranging menu, but not cheap. They serve a range of cakes- chocolate brownies are sumptuous- and drinks. Luxury hot chocolate is very good. Chocolate coolers are inconsistent though. They do hot food too (ie warmed up slices or paninis) but these are microwaved and don't taste great. View all feedback.

If you want a drinkable coffee go to platform 3 to Costa Pumpkin cafe possibly the worst tasting coffee I've had the misfortune to taste!!

The coffee shop at Colchester station offers a cozy spot to relax and enjoy a warm drink while waiting for your train. Despite the London prices, the coffee is great and the staff are friendly, with some even going above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. If you're a regular commuter, you can get a discount with a 'Bite' card. Although some reviewers had negative experiences with pricing and service, the majority seem to appreciate the convenience and atmosphere of this railway station cafe. Overall, it seems like a decent option for a quick coffee or snack before your journey.
