VICTORIA YUM REVIEWS

My favourite favourite bakery! The cakes are as gorgeous as they are yummy. I'm grateful for coming across Victoria yum in January and I've been in here at least once a week if not more!! The brunch menu is great and the new breakfast bap is a must try. I have also finally found the perfect textured scones here! Please do try Victoria Yum and no other place will ever be good enough after your experience :)

Went to Victoria Yum during a day trip. I heard about this place on social media and I was curious. The staff welcomed me so nicely and the cinnamon swirl i had was amazing. I tried beetroot latte (was the first time for me) and I was impressed! I will come back again next time I will be in Colchester.

I ordered 6 blueberry and 6 raspberry cupcakes for a baby shower I was hosting, and they were an absolute hit. Everyone loved them, they not only looked beautiful but also tasted amazing. Ordering process online was easy, the pickup and packaging organisation was great. 100% recommend.

GREGGS COLCHESTER REVIEWS

The staff at Greggs Long Wrye Street in Colchester amazing customer service and always with a smile and have a good day.

Chloe is an absolute star! Such a lovely, friendly, professional and humourous member of the team. Thank you to Chloe for such a wonderful in-store experience!

LONDON ROAD BAKERY REVIEWS

Lovely little bakery! Everything is freshly made in-store and tastes amazing. They also carry a nice selection of local deli products, which is a great bonus. The staff are super friendly and welcoming – definitely worth a visit!

Always looking forward to Wednesdays as that means it is pastrami sandwich and raspberry fruit tart time! Best bakery around and with great, personable customer service. It’s worth ringing in with your order as everything is freshly made and goes quickly. The only thing this bakery and deli isn’t good for is my waistline!!

Absolutely incredible bakery; my husband stops off there after going to the boot sale on a Wednesday morning and brought me back the most amazing sandwich today. 100% fresh, crunchy and utterly delicious ingredients, including some of the nicest pastrami ever. I’ll be getting this one again and again…
