Claudius Gateway - Colchester

Friendly family staff and a great piece of history.

Came across this delightful cafe which does great food and coffee.It also has glass floor revealing the oldest ruins in Colchester: the ancient ruins of the temple of Claudius. This cafe also supports the homeless back into work. All the staff involved in our service were friendly and the food and coffee was fantastic!

Great place and absolutely fantastic Roman remains beneath the cafe. This is the largest or at least one of the largest arcades outside Rome.

This is a nice little coffee shop with the usual teas/coffees and tasty cakes. It's quiet, was fairly empty mid week morning and has an interesting museum room with a glass floor viewing of the Roman Temple foundations. (If I remember correctly).

Popped in today for a couple of take away coffees and cold drinks for the kids to take into castle park. The lovely lady working there showed us the absolutely amazing ruins through the back and then made us our coffees. The food looked good and we will definitely be back to have a try of some cake next time!
