Taste - Tendring

Great place to dine from breakfast to a main meal. It's little off the high street but when you find it you will not be disappointed. Barbara and staff are friendly and helpful. The food is freshly cooked and piping hot. Even though I only had toast the family had the breakfasts that they really enjoyed. Will definitely will be going back next time we are in Clacton-on-Sea

I have used this cafe on occasion and it is conveniently placed Coffee, cakes, sandwiches etc, are of a good standard. 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. Despite my protests of legal tender I was denied under the policy excuse by the manager, : The whole shop appeared terrified of my cash, and for a moment the implication inference felt was that I was some kind of criminal, and my patience was tested not pleasant at all. 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

Haven't been to Taste for a while but had a nice lunch. Coffee was very nice, I don't think the large was very large, but good coffee. We had a toasty and a gluten free cake slice. We both enjoyed our food and the prices were reasonable. We will go back soon.

Every time i go to clacton i pop in here for coffee and a teacake very reasnable price and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Regularly visit with my father who is disabled. They always assist in moving chairs so he can sit easily. The coffee really is the best in Clacton and very reasonably priced. The Hot Salt Beef bagels are excellent as are their selection of cakes and pastries. Definitely recommend.
