Excellent little cafe. Particularly enjoyed the Welsh Rarebit and the great coffee. Great looking cake selection as well! I'm sure if the weather is fine the views from the balcony across Shrewsbury would be stunning!

Couldn’t recommend this place enough, spoke with Matthew via email about the afternoon tea and weather something could be done about a gluten free one as our daughter is coeliac, he was really quick to respond and really helpful and made up a separate off the menu, gluten free afternoon tea for her. The food and service were fantastic as usual, this is defiantly our go to place when having lunch in town.

The view over the river was wonderful and we shall return in the warmer weather and eat outside.Plenty of choice for breakfast. We chose the full English with the option to add or remove items. The coffee was also very good as was the service. Very

Had afternoon tea for the five of us on this chilly, rainy day, and it was delicious and calm and warm and just lovely. The service was prompt and friendly and the food and tea were so good. Loved the scones and clotted cream and jam! Delicious experience in Shrewsbury!

Twelve of us enjoyed breakfast here. All drinks and food arrived as ordered. Highlights were the French toast and the vegan breakfast. Tea and coffee were OK but the flat white needed an extra shot. Only gripe was the sourdough toast. Breakfast is only served with one small slice and a second slice was charged as an extra portion at £3.25. You don't get a rack of toast like you do at other breakfast places.Vegetarian options: Both Vegan and vegetarian breakfast on offer.

This is like the curates egg -good in parts and poor in others! Breakfast is not cheap £9-30 for small meat one and £10-3 for vegetarian. On the good side the ingredients were OK and it was cooked nicely. On the poor side what you got for this price was poor! In the meat one you had a very SMALL egg, a small sausage like you have in 'pigs in blankets',less than half a rasher of bacon, a small slice of black pudding , a spoonful of diced mushrooms and a cup of bake beans plus a slice of nicely buttered toast. Surely at that price they could at least provide a larger egg and sausage. The vegetarian was even poorer for more money-a slice of grilled halloumi, a couple of avocado slices, a spoonful of diced mushrooms,half a raw tomato and a slice of toast! The service was very poor!! With no one obviously waiting for cooked food it took more than 20 minutes to come!! People who came in later got their food first!! The coffee was nice but with the delay for the food it was cold before eating ( what little was saved for afterwards!). If the restaurant had been full I hate to think what the wait would have been. A potentially nice breakfast spoilt by the penny pinching save money at all costs by cutting ingredients. I cannot recommend it. 50p more spent on ingredients would make a big difference!!
