Tucked away in Colchester’s city centre, The Passage House offers an exclusive taste of Turkey. It is a hidden gem patisserie specialising in authentic Turkish pastries and cakes. Freshly baked every morning, our börek, acma, simit, pogaca and baklava are ready to enjoy in the café, picked up on the go, or taken home for later. Pair your favourite with exceptional coffee, rich hot chocolate, or a refreshing cold drink.

We are open all day for coffee, tea, pastries, cakes and more.
With free WiFi it's a great place to work or study.
We've got a cup of happiness with your name on it ☕
We believe it’s the best in Colchester.
We use Rainforest Alliance coffee in an espresso blend of arabica beans from Central and South America.
The tasting notes are jasmine flowers, almonds and milk chocolate.
For our decaf we use a Certified Fairtrade & Organic, Swiss Water process Peruvian decaf - rich and delicious.
We specialise in Turkish pastries and breads - simit, acma, lahmacun, borek and baklava - as well as our classic Turkish breakfast. To drink we have Turkish coffee, Menengic and, of course, Turkish tea.
These refreshing drinks will help you through the summer.
