I love this place, the cookies and the biscoff hot chocolate and milkshake are some of the best drinks I've ever tasted, the staff are always lovely- and they're super close to my college campus! I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Passed the venue many times but decided to pop in for a coffee - it was very cold outside! From the warm welcome to a delicious hot coffee sitting in a clean, slightly quirky room I felt really at ease and relaxed. As it was my first visit I cannot give 5 stars. So will have to return to try out their foods and see if the rating can go up.

Small coffee situated just by the English Bridge in Shrewsbury. My favourite Americano in town but a bewildering choice of coffees to suit all. Delicious cakes and 'tapas' all reasonably priced
