Supermarkets in Colchester, Essex

“The best online Asian Supermarket I have come across!I'm a repeat customer and can't recommend them enough for choice, quality of goods, and very prompt delivery.Thank you Starry Supermarket!”

“My partner and I pop into here occasionally because despite being a small shop they have an enormous range of snacks, groceries and interesting things to peruse and purchase.Walking to/driving to Budgens on a whim is a fun treat. Prices are pretty good, staff are friendly and service is great. Everything always seems pretty well stocked. I just wish I lived a little bit closer!The street is quite wide and you can park on either side. It can get a little bit busy at peak times, but you can always park down the road a bit where it is even wider. Or in a side street.”

“Hello with [cost of living ] I started shopping at ALDI & I have saved money so if I were you I would try it you be shocked how good a bargain you get.”

“Good parking. Store is always well stocked and very rarely crowded. Most tills are sefl service and we have never had to queue for a till. We are a club card holder which gives good deals and savings”

“Not really an Iceland person but there’s this cashier guy who always seems to be working there every time I go and he’s so chatty and funny and banters with the customers, it makes my day better. Not sure what to say about his appearance other than I think he has brown hair but if you meet him you’ll know! However, I haven’t seen him the past few times I’ve been which is unusual because I used to see him every time. Wonder where he’s gone.”

“This Iceland is conveniently placed in Tollgate shopping area, which means if you time it right... you can park pretty much outside. It does however get incredibly busy at times with people visiting the shops. Similar to other Iceland shops I have been to, it isn't massive, but has most of the essentials you would need including non frozen items such as bread, milk, tissues (and tomato sauce if your my son!) etc. Have also used this Iceland for home delivery in the past, but never with much success - so tend to go instore instead.”

“Always has everything I need. Visited to buy son stuff for university digs and very good prices for items of same quality as other bigger branded stores. Only one member of staff on tills.”

“Good dated products, great prices, nectar card makes a huge difference and love the individual and personal products we get offers for! Parking is great for have a child also lots of spaces”

“Had the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY! Came unstuck with an ice problem, (ice machine broke at work) and desperately needed ALOT of bags of ice asap, and then I found Trevor! What an amazing man he is and came to my rescue.He took my trolley, went out to back stores and got all the bigger sacks of ice and then even helped me to my car and unloaded it all for me.Trevor is a legend!Thank you so much for your kind help and coming to my rescue.Very much appreciated”

“Good choice of pizza. There own brands are very good. Good choice of Slimming World meals and snacks. Desserts are good and good choice of ice cream. Love to shop here for frozen goods, eg: frozen chips (excellent selection) pizza and Greg's pastries. Love Iceland.”

“Friendly local store, newsagents and post office. Limited range of goods but ideal when you need those missing ingredients in a hurry. Parking not always easy but if you live in Kelvedon it is an easy walk from everywhere.”

“Convenient little supermarket to get a few small bits from. Can't tell if I like or dislike the fact there's a subway inside yet. The prices here are a little high compared to other supermarkets, but their bread and local foods section are high above other places. Wouldn't ever do a weekly shop here but its handy for grabbing a few smaller bits.”

“This isn't a bad lidl store it just isn't great! I've been to this particular branch several times, and each time it's been quite busy but the staff wandering the floor don't seem to be able to open more than 1 till at a time. Otherwise, it's a great store with fantastic stock and always 'Lidl on price!Good size car park that has disabled parking spaces and parent and child parking spaces too.”

“Went to the carpark here it’s very small and card only. Some of the pumps were quite slow but it’s not too much of a detour if you’re on your way to Mersey island and I recommend filling up before you get on the island just incase. There is an Asda supermarket just next door incase you need anything. There was no staff present but it was very clean.”

“Very handy shop in this part of town. Has a small car park and is open long hours. Lots of fresh, chilled and frozen produce plus drinks, newspapers, cash machine and everything you'd expect in a mini supermarket. Please visit the charity shop next door to support the local hospice.”

“We would personally like to thank James who works at the co op in dedham. He found us unable to use the app to be able to park in Dedham today. And paid on his own phone for us! We did get change and pop into shop and gave him it back. But what a remarkable young man James is. Total strangers and he thought nothing of helping us. Thankyou James. You absolutely wonderful young man. Please pass this on to him. With much thanks. You are so lucky to have James. Mr and mrs Hawes.”

“My favourite shop in England. Always ready to provide anything one might need. I love the ready-made meals with fruit and veggies. Prices are fair and food is very often discounted. The employees are great ans helpful, too. Their working hours are perfect for us evening shoppers. Maybe my favourite are the self-checkout cashiers. I am sad I do not have this shop in my home-country. Love Sainsbury's!”

“I have shopped here regularly since moving to Tiptree seven years ago. The staff are generally friendly and the shelves well-stocked. However the range of goods stocked has diminished over the past year with budget brands, which were never well represented, disappearing almost completely. However what is more disturbing is the bakery section. Or lack of it. Fresh brown bread has not been seen for a year and now white bread has virtually disappeared unless Tiger bread or batons are to your taste. This is a worrying development especially as the village is set to expand considerably over the next decade.”

“Guy on till very fast and very helpful (Dominic) was very good help me find what I need just tock me down where it is where some people in the shop just say it down there on the left which is not helpfull but Dominic is very good he should be on the shop floor and not on the tills”

“99.9%...all staff always helpful, apart from one very, always, miserable woman, you'll know who if you get stuck with her, I do time and time, could make a joke or comment on weather, she looks at you as if you had asked if she was wearing red knickers today and always snappy....some people....wonder if she even owns red knickers, probably all grey....apart from that great!”

“I know this is the wrong store page, I can’t find the correct one but I had to write a review on my experience today at Tesco express Colchester on Magdalen St. I was quite nervous as I’m still getting used to being a new Mum. My baby was crying and a wonderful woman called Paige noticed me and offered to help, she interacted with my daughter and took my basket and ask me what I needed and went round the shop with me, she even helped at the checkout. Honestly outstanding customer service. She’s such a great asset to the store and takes pride in what she does. I’m not sure she’ll see this but know that we need more people like you in this world. If any staff member from the store comes across this review please say well done to her. Thank you for your help and understanding today Paige.”

“Prices are usually the best in Colchester. Most of the time at least one or two pumps are out of order in the fast lane. ‘Pay at the pump’ only available for 4 pumps, rest of the time you have to pay at the exit to cashier.”

“Nice size co-op with a good selection of food. Even has a small section for gluten-free food which I was very impressed with. All around a great corner shop to have down the street. Also has a cash machine inside which is very convenient.”

“Have plenty of the 'essentials' whatever that may be for you. A Costa machine, helpful on a Monday morning. The cash machine is no longer in store but cashback is offered.”

“Friendly service the staff know all that's needed to set up a new phone and transfering my number contacts and apps quickly pleased with my new phone and the monthly bills are lower than most other places and connection always good”

“Shopping experience was excellent. Used the trolley with wheelchair readily available. I do not shop often but I was on that route to drop in. Staff very friendly and so helpful. I only wished it was closer to me.”

“I am a regular visitor to this Tesco. The staff are professional and welcoming. You only need to ask if you need help. Parking can be a problem if the town is busy.”
