Stumbled upon this little gem recently on a day trip, wish we lived nearer. Very welcoming & friendly service, delicious food & a good choice of dishes on the menu. Sadly there were no tables available when we arrived but as suggested we waited by the bar & eventually one became available. Incredibly tasty home cooked food I would highly recommend & can’t wait to come back for my next visit.

Lovely place for quick breakfast, coffee good, food tasty, staff friendly and supportive. Old fashioned community hub for locals and visitors,

This place is a hidden gem, I’d say I’m quite a cafe hopper, always trying new places but since me and my dad discovered this place at the beginning of the year, we haven’t been anywhere else, this is definitely one of the best cafes in Clacton and the only one I’ll ever recommend to anyone, the food is always really nice, great value, great prices and the menu caters to everyone. I love the atmosphere of the place, family run business which also supports local artists (art-work available to see in the cafe), regulars are really lovely and the cafe has a cozy look to it. The home-made West Indian Chicken and Curry goat is a must for those who enjoy trying different cuisines. In the pictures below is the, Honey Jerk wings, West Indian Chicken, Coconut, lime and mango cheesecake, Homemade Jamaican ginger cake with brandy custard. All from the Taste of the Caribbean night yesterday, I didn’t manage to get pictures of everyone’s food but we all loved our food.

Worth a visit just for their proper pot of tea. I like a strong brew - and with two tea bags in a pot that’s exactly what I got. A jug of hot water provided if you don’t like a builders brew. Oh and their food. Somebody here knows how to cook and present a great choice of food - that’s a refreshing change these days in the world of ping meals. I had a delicious prawn salad and the misses had Scampi and homemade chips. Both thoroughly enjoyed. We’ll have no hesitation returning to Tracey’s. Well done guys.

Went for late breakfast while at haven camp. The food was surprisingly good. The whole menu looks good. Had American pancakes and scoffed the lot so definite hit the spot with me and the wife.

Came to this Bistro for the first time yesterday, only one table free and was busy the whole time we were there and can see why. Firstly the ladies in there are lovely, very friendly and quick service. As we walked in we looked at the food on other tables, all of it looked lovely! We got the American style breakfast and panini. Considering that the cafe clearly uses quality ingredients, the price was very good! Food was lovely and we'd definitely visit again.

5 stars for food, friendliness and atmosphere. A random stop on our way through town, and we will come back this way just to eat here again. Fresh food, well and home made, good portions and a great selection. Tracy's made us very happy! Even our little puppy got spoilt.

My family and I visited on the 3rd of December 2022 to celebrate my mother's birthday, and honestly, we were delighted by the entire experience. The level of customer service was terrific. The team catered to all of the needs of our party members. We were also incredibly impressed by the food portions and the food quality. We were entertained by great conversation with the team members, lovely background music and conversational Christmas crackers. Overall, the experience left us all feeling uplifted.
