Red Rose Cafe

Have been coming here (plus take out and delivery!) regularly since Ive lived in Colchester the past 5 years. The staff is so friendly and they have the best paninis and desserts in town! Breakfast sandwiches are great too!

Excellent breakfast and brunch place. It is small, but it makes sense for a local spot in a small town. I've eaten here several times now and I am yet to be dissapointed. This time I had the French Toast special french toast was moist, stuffed with apples and topped with whipped cream and spinkled with cinnamon. Got a side of bacon to offset the sweetness of the french toast. It was the perfect breakfasts. My friends had Western omelets that are their go to here for breakfast

Love this place. 1st time experience and it was great. There were only 2 waitresses and they nailed service, quick and straight to the point. I definitely recommend their fish and chips. Big portions, enough to share among 2 people. The fries are the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned and the crispy exterior that most diners get with home fries. If you’re not in the mood for fish and chips, definitely add fries to any meal.

What a great little find! Excellent breakfast sandwich, excellent coffee bar, excellent breakfast pastries. Can't wait to go back! The ladies working were crazy busy but still very friendly and helpful. The menu is full of things I want to come back and try. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on everything bagel and it was so much better than the same thing at other places. Great job!

My friend and I came here for brunch on a Saturday. It was pretty busy and overall a decent experience. Parking is pretty tight, but we found a spot pretty quickly. Once walking in, it is a very small area, kind of like a slightly wide hallway in the shape of a U. The counter to order is right in front of the door and there were a bunch of people waiting around the area, but no distinct line. We ordered at the counter, but I think you can order at a table too if you want? While waiting for a table, I poured my own hot coffee around the corner to the right of the ordering counter. This was right across from the pastry/dessert case. Coffee was pretty good. To the left of the ordering counter are the tables to sit at and each has a number. We found an open one and sat down, letting the waitstaff, who are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, know which number was at our table. (I assume that is how they know where to bring the food.) We did wait quite a while for our food and at some point the waitstaff came over to ask us what we had ordered. We got the fig-eta 'bout it panini and the aqua bowl smoothie bowl. They were delicious. My friend absolutely loves this place.

Great food, great service, and quick! Really impressed by the quality of the meat - my husband got the Reuben panini and I got the black and blue burger - would recommend both! Great fries too

Small café with a big heart! The staff is amazing – friendly and constantly circulating to see if coffee needs refilling or just checking in with customers. The food was wonderful - hot and delicious and plenty of it. Definitely recommend stopping in to enjoy the warm welcome from the staff and the cozy atmosphere!
