We had a nice snack there. The staff are very friendly and extremely interesting to see the archaeological dig at the back. Prices reasonable. Worth going to.

Two excellent and inexpensive bacon rolls to eat in with a tea and a coffee. Staff friendly, tea served in a mug ready to drink, not supplied in kit form as in so many places.
While you're there take a look at the fascinating Roman archaeology that gives the premises its name but seems to not be advertised other than in the cafe itself: the foundations of the gateway to the Temple of Claudius revealed beneath glass floors at the back of the main cafe.

Very close to the castle entrance, super friendly and informative staff, and a fantastic rear area with glass floors to view the Roman foundations below

It's now called The Holy Bagel and we went for coffee only. I wished I hadn't had breakfast as I found out they do salt beef bagels/paninis and other yummiest.

Best salted beef bagel. Really lovely cafe right next to Colchester Castle with historic surprise in the back room.

This place has been reopened and money earnt is given to helping the homeless.
Vic is doing a good job making Coffees, sandwiches, jacket potatoes to fund the new double decker bus providing shelter for homeless people in Colchester.
Part of the Cafe houses a museum with remains of the Claudius Gateway!

Large cafe just across from Castle Museum. Tea, coffee, cakes & simple meals. Also contains remains of foundations of Claudian Gateway & Portico. Also large screens and displays showing interpretation of buildings. Very pleasant young man serving too. Well recommended.
