Quick info
About HOSH CAFE
HOSH CAFE is a cafe at 18 Osborne St in Colchester, opposite the bus station. The cooking is Istanbul-inspired, and the Turkish breakfast spread brings eggs, grilled sucuk, grilled halloumi, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta and olives, with jam and hot tea alongside. Traditional Turkish simit and lahmacun sit on the same menu, so the kitchen covers more than breakfast. Brunch and lunch options fill out the rest of the list. The team has changed items within a dish when asked. A burger is on the menu too.

Customer Review Summary
The Mediterranean and Turkish breakfast is the draw reviewers raise most. One diner describes a full spread of perfectly cooked eggs, grilled sucuk, grilled halloumi, feta, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, finished with jam and hot tea, and another suggests trying the Mediterranean breakfast. Close behind are a continental breakfast with fresh vegetables and a burger described as made with care, while the coffee is called great by a reviewer who notes the cafe sits next to the bus station. Diners call the food fresh, delicious and home style, and several like the outdoor sitting area, which one says has a peaceful garden feel. Staff are consistently described as friendly, welcoming and polite. The owner is called personable and is said to bring the flavours and cooking style of Istanbul to the menu. One reviewer with fussy requirements had parts of a full breakfast changed without any annoyed face.
