Food was amazing. I had the chichen pie with leaks and fresh veg. Coffee although black with milk was delicious.

A rabbit warren of a place with tables in two rooms and a third room with arm chairs and coffee tables. I like it a lot. We called in for brunch and discovered Staffordshire Oat Cakes on the menu, a rare treat. They seemed a little expensive at 11 but you got two each and they were served with lots of different salads, a huge delicious plateful. The price seemed reasonable after that. The coffee was excellent. Any time I'm in Church Stretton I will call in.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SALMON for lunch. Everything was perfectly cooked on a warm plate I can honestly say its one of the best eateries I know. Im very fussy but would not hesitate to recommend this place. Their desserts are to die for too and, no, Im not related to them

It was very busy when we arrived at 1.45 which I suppose was too be expected. You could see the staff were rushed off their feet. However we found a table and got served as quick as I could have expected . They were all very obliging and friendly. We had hot drinks and home made cakes with cream and ice cream respectively, which were very nice. The cappachinos were lovely. A very popular place and I can see why with the quality of the food and drinks. Only negative was that we were seated near the cappachino machine and it was a bit noisy to hear ourselves at times. Keep up the good work and

Lovely quirky cafe. Serves a gorgeous coffee. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Only problem on my visit was that the soup we wanted had just run out. Just shows how good it was. Each table has some history notes on the building and coffee houses in general as well as the general menu which is extensive. Gluten free can be accommodated.

A really nice, atmospheric coffee shop. The menu covers all the traditional tea, coffee and lunch options you could wish for. The menu also shows you all the local suppliers they use , and it is a long list! I had a local cheddar sandwich with a side salad and it was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't have time to try the cakes as they looked great too!
