Al Fresco Dining in Colchester: Enjoy Brunch in Our Garden

When the sun is out and the air is warm, there’s nothing better than sitting down to enjoy a light lunch or a fresh coffee outdoors.

At Café 21, our hidden garden offers the perfect setting for relaxed al fresco dining in the heart of Colchester. Whether you’re shopping with friends or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon break, our garden provides a peaceful escape from the busy streets nearby.

Although the front of Café 21 might seem quite small at first glance, the café opens up as you step inside. With seating at both the front and the back, the space gradually leads you through to our garden area.

Outside, you’ll find tables surrounded by greenery and shaded by trees, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Our familiar red-check tablecloths add a cosy touch, making it a charming place to sit, unwind, and enjoy your food.

We’re also a dog-friendly café, so your four-legged friends are always welcome to join you. If you’re out for a walk around Colchester and fancy stopping for a coffee or a bite to eat, there’s no need to leave your dog behind.
