Only disconcerting thing was that I popped in there with my elderly mother, for a breather rest who finds excessive walking about difficult, and the atmosphere hospitality was immediately spoilt, by the refusal of everyone to accept a £50 pound note I had just arrived in clacton from my teaching post abroad, and only had the money my bank gave me i.e. 50 pound notes and I wasn 't about to spoil our rest and coffee break by going to the bank and back.

Nevertheless, in order not to spoil my mother 's rest and enjoyment, I payed with a foreign credit card [charges!! for coffees and cakes. Like I said, nice coffee and cakes etc, but I definitely won 't be calling in there on the off chance again

My favorite snack is the hot salt beef bagels, but there are also plenty of other appetizing options to choose from. The tea and coffee are both high quality, and I believe they are Fairtrade. Overall, this venue offers great service and good value for money.
