If a Sunday morning trip to Columbia Road's flower market can feel like holidaying in your own city - it's a bit out of the way, and boasts plentiful natural beauty - then this is where you'd sit and write your postcard.

The interior at Jones Dairy Café is all higgledy-piggledy retro chic (an infestation of vintage teapots, a huge 'Thomas' stove sitting totem pole-like in the corner), and may make some think 'knitting club', but the food is worth writing home about.

The quality of ingredients in dishes such as Norfolk-caught kipper with a poached egg, and Sladbury's smoked salmon with egg, avocado and other verdant goodies left us satisfied long into the day. Fine Colchester oysters are available, raw or grilled with pecorino, and the milk leaves old-fashioned globules on the surface of your coffee.

I had excellent food and the service was super. Will definitely go back!

A place that needs to be visited multiple times. Has a shop filled with great produce at the front and a cafe (somewhat hidden) around the side. Incredible breakfast on a Friday and Saturday and then oysters shucked on the street outside on the busy Sunday market day along with great smoked salmon beigels. Can be slow at times but worth the wait and Saturday papers are provided.

Staff are consistently prickly, so I've given up on this place.

Very very expensive. Paid £7 for 2 small slices of cake. No prices for cakes on the menu and weren't told beforehand. For £7 i would expect something really special - not just the sort of dry sponge cake you can cook badly at home... Service not good either. No wonder the place was empty (Sat afternoon).

Popped in this morning for a cup of tea and a croissant, and asked for some jam. They acted like this was an outlandish request (surely quite ordinary?). Really strange service attitude. A mixture of disaffection and surliness. We didn't like the vibe and ate our breakfast on the hoof instead.
