Cafe Express in Shropshire

Myself and children visited recently for the first time. The staff were friendly and the food very good value for money. I had the adult's breakfast and they had children's size. Very good food and very reasonably priced. My only very slight grumble was some of the tables are too close together. We will definitely be back. Thank you x

Great staff lovely position , loved the wheat beer 🤗

The biggest slice of cake ever! Nice little tea rooms with lots of seating. Large menu and lots of drinks options. Friendly staff

Fantastic service, will definitely return on our next visit to area.

What a lovely little find! Cafe Express doesn’t look very welcoming from the outside, it has a wooden covered ‘sitting out’ area at the front that detracts from the amazing old building. Once inside you see the beauty of this lovely building and how nice the atmosphere is. We had drinks and a light lunch. I had a loaded jacket potato and my friend had chicken fillet skewers on flat bread off the specials board. Cost £7:00 each. There was plenty to choose from off the menu & the specials board. We enjoyed our leisurely lunch, nice ‘Olde World’ atmosphere, nice food. Would visit again when in Worcester.

Great little tea room offering drinks and a selection of sandwiches panini sand jackets along with cakes etc. Great value for a put stop.

Good food swift friendly service

First visit to Bridgnorth and popped into the cafè for lunch and a drink. Ordered a coffee and two hot chocolates which arrived promptly - only issue was the hot chocolate could have been a bit warmer - I prefer a 'hot' chocolate rather than warm but it tasted lovely and the cream on the top seemed 'real' rather than aerosol cream? We ordered panini's and a toastie which arrived after about 10 minutes, tasty simple, non pretentious food which did the job on a wet rainy day. Staff were pleasant, service was good, building maybe a bit tired and needing an update but that didn't detract from a pleasant visit. Thank you ladies.

Wonderful food for a hungry bunch. Coffee was lovely, milkshakes to the children's satisfaction. The young ladies were friendly and helpful and put up with my indecision, highly recommended

Very good menu. Clean. Nice ambience

Friendly welcome, we sat just up a few steps up from the ladies working area. The coffee was lovely but the choice of cakes was very limited as a little snack to accompany our coffee.

Slightly difficult to find a dog friendly cafe in Bridgnorth but here we could sit outside under cover (with thoughtfully provided rugs) with our dog and people watch on market day. The sausage sandwiches were tasty and the cappuccinos were strong, frothy and delicious. Really friendly young staff.

This is a delightful café . in the centre of Bridge north I visited on a cold and wet day the coffee was one of the best I have tasted . also had a toasted tea cake, which was very enjoyable . The staff were friendly ,and helpful ,other people enjoying breakfast all the food was served well and looked very tasty . just what You needed to brighten a cold wet day the café was warm and cosy .

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Will definitely.be visiting again.

Having visiting for our first time today. We were met by a lovely friendly welcome. The ladies were all happy and clearly enjoyed working here. Our panini and toasted sandwich was very lovely and fresh. We will definitely return. 😊

Great coffee shop in Bridgnorth, staff friendly food very good.

Visited here for a quick tea stop and bite to eat, the paninis were great tea was great, staff were friendly and food was served quickly.

Great coffee, tea and choice on the menu for food. Friendly staff and not too busy. We had a good service but think the café could do with a paint make over. The artwork on the wall (town view) was an eye catcher and nice touch.

I have tried several cafes in Bridgenorth for breakfast and this is one of the best so far. Use quality sausages not catering ones. Freshly cooked and hot, unlike Wetherspoons. Friendly and polite young ladies. Excellent service.

My mostly weekly cycle stop. Always look forward to what cakes are available ...coupled with refreshing coffee makes the 20 mile ride there perfect...just leave a space for me outside with my bike

After taking up Road cycling this year...I have stopped at various places for coffee and cake...it now appears that I enjoy this one so much it has become my usual and I chose to go to Bridgnorth and always stop here now as its my favourite. I actually think sbout what cake im going to reward myself with along with cappuccino enroute. Always end up with a brief natter with other friendly customers or staff/owner there. Atmosphere is great. Cake is fantastic.. Tangy lemon... Espresso cake. Walnut... Beautiful. Good price, and they even let me put my bike inside when it poured down....definitely going to keep on using it...though not as much when winter comes but soon as spring is here... Weekly cake treat!

Popped in for a drink and a snack to share with my mum. Ordered 1 ham and cheese baguette, 1 coffee a bottle of water and 1 shortbread biscuit which come to nearly £10. After nearly 10 mins a panini arrived!!! Which had little filling in, We just shared it but I'm pretty sure I asked for a baguette? No biscuit arrived ...to be fair the girl did fetch 2 and apologised but they was stale and not fresh in our opinion. So didn't eat them. Not impressed one bit, very overpriced and poor service

I had a delicious hot chocolate in a lovely surrounding. I would recommend this place.

My husband and I went to have lunch here today and we loved it’s atmosphere, welcome and the food is cheap and hardy. We’d recommend it!

Coffee was very good and good hot chocolates. Nice and warm on a very cold day.

It was lovely and warm in the coffee shop on a cold damp day. We had a cheese toastedsandwichand a brown toast and it was very tasty and a decent price.

We don't live in Shropshire, but visit often. And always use cafe express for coffee etc...staff always pleasant and efficient...

Stopped in for lunch and should have been warned by the empty chairs. Everywhere else was full. I ordered soup and my wife a panini also asked for sparkling water but they had none. I started panicking when I heard the microwave. It arrived after 15 mins luke warm and sent it back. Got it back sever pings later and it was hot but was simply a tin of tomatoes with no taste/flavour. My wife pointed this out when paying and was greeted with rudeness and hostility being told: "you obviously are a better cook than me" (which actually is true) and being told that it would be a good idea for us not to come back!! My wife works in the food business was shocked by this aggressive response as we always thought that feedback like this could be useful. No wonder there was a lot of empty chairs!!

Llegamos a las 2. 45 y la señora dijo que normalmente se cierra a las 2. 30 pero no te preocupes ella buscaría después de nosotros y ella en verdad. Aunque sólo quería sándwiches y té nada era demasiado problema efectuar los cuatro sándwiches ella después de servir con una taza de té encantadora, todo hecho por ella misma como su colega habían vuelto a casa a las 2. 30.

Lovely old cafe in the Main Street of Bridgnorth. Very friendly staff and good food. Very willing to accommodate

The place looks very inviting from the outside. The atmosphere was fine but the omlettes we ordered (served with a token side salad) were the smallest we'd ever seen! We went to another eatery after our visit so that my hubby could eat a bit more. He isn't greedy, is very slim but this (one egg?) omlette just isn't big enough!

Just popped into here for a quick Bacon Roll and tea.....found the staff very pleasant and the food was good.....very quaint little cafe

Must have changed hands since last review. Coffee good, sandwiches awful. Bread cheapest and dry, ham Tesco's thinnest. Pulled pork was drowned in BBQ sauce. Coleslaw thin and slimy. Yuck. Prices far too high for that quality.

Aunque pasó por hoy en Bridgnorth, estropeado por elección. No aquí primero. Mujer pidió el salmón y crema de queso sándwich de atún... tuve mayonesa. La mía estaba bien, pero ella tenía un puñado de minúsculas escamas de salmón. Mientras me registré aquí. Increíblemente el último comentario era la misma queja que había sido mencionado también explicó al director, quien dijo que era pre mezclado de llenado. También me dijeron que una señora que parecía estar a cargo de camino a la salida. Ella parecía sorprendido. Extraño a la derecha? Perdido credibilidad, así que también me cuesta creer que los desaparecidos habían roto el asiento del retrete una media hora antes de que entramos en... una delicia cuando tienes 5 años. Un antiguo cycnic llamarme. ...

Se siente un poco de hambre después de un viaje de compras bridgnorth decidimos llamar a Café Express en la calle alta. Nos sentamos dentro y pedimos dos cafés y dos sandwiches. No recuerdo lo que había en la mina, que fue memorable. Sin embargo,...

Entró a este pequeño café con mis hijos para ser recibidos por dos señoras encantadoras detrás del mostrador que era muy servicial con todo lo necesario. La comida era deliciosa y el café estaba buenísimo. 100% volveremos. Estoy deseando ya. 😊

We just wanted a coffee, oh ok then, maybe a piece of cake too. Everything about this place looked right; a quaint old building in the heart of the High Street, old timbers still bearing the meat hooks in the ceiling from a bygone existence, clusters of different seating options - lovely. The thing is, if you're running a coffee shop and your very name centres on the product, surely it's essential that you provide a qaulity cup of coffee? Whist we would never claim to be experts, we do enjoy our coffees and can certainly differentiate between a fragrant, smooth, tasty coffee and a bitter and tasteless one. Unfortunately, we received the latter and it is a very rare occurrence for either of us to leave our coffees unfinished, but we did here! I'm afraid the "locally made" carrot cake was no better. Come on guys, a little extra effort in the sourcing of your products, please - there is so much profit left in a cup of coffee, even when you pay a bit more for a quality bean.

Bridgnorth is a lovely town and this small establishment was comfortable and cosy, the staff welcomed us hikers with a smile for a change ! A hot jacket patato and cappuccino really hit the spot ! Although it was a rainy day this little coffe shop put a smile on my face the decor could need a lift but I would still definitely call again !

Me and my husband Jeffery found this quaint Tudor style coffe shop in Bridgnorth. I had scone white clotted cream and jam with a pot of tea and Jeff had a freshly made panini and a latte . Really enjoyed and great service would definitely recommend.

We chose to eat lunch in an independent cafe yesterday, rather than one of the 'chains'. This turned out to be a big mistake. We had to clear a table to sit at. We were advised there would be a delay, but like the other reviewer, as it is a small cafe, expected this to be a short delay. On reflection, we should have clarified the length of delay before we ordered. I ordered a jacket potato with cheese and spring onion topping and my husband ordered a panini with the same filling. Although there wasn't too long a wait for the drinks ( although they didn't have any diet soft drinks), there was approx 40 minute delay for the food, which at best was mediocre. There appeared to be no-one clearing tables and loads of washing up on the side near to one domestic washing up sink. We didn't see any table wiped during the time we were there. Very poor. I would not go there again even if offered a free meal!

Visited this cafe today,it is very small and not that clean especially the carpet.On ordering I was told there was a wait for food,that was ok ,it was only a small place so I thought maybe about 15 minutes.I ordered beans on toast and a bacon sandwich with two cups of tea.We had to clean our own table off as every available table had dirty crocks on.We waited twenty minutes before my husband went up and asked if we could have our tea,this was bought the lady apologised ,said food would be another 10 minutes,20 minutes later she came to the table to ask if I wanted white or brown toast,I was gobsmacked but she assured me it would be ready in two minutes,ten minutes later food arrived ,beans on toast and a cold bacon sandwich.My husband asked for some brown sauce and the young girl just slammed it down on the table.Everyone was having the same problem.I should have known when I saw the chaos behind the counter and the pile of dirty cups in the sink ,it was a bad idea to eat there.I had to laugh when the lady apologised to the next table for the delay ,apparently they didn't expect to be rushed off their feet,the place only holds about twenty people !!!!Never again !

My family and I visited this establishment for hot beverages only to be barked at on entering the shop "we've stopped serving food" so my reply was we only wanted hot drinks , the reply was " well we close in 5 "Will not be visiting again which is a shame as the food is nice but the staff are just rude with no customer service skills what so ever!

My parents still live in Bridgnorth and this is the first place I visit every time I return. The staff can't do enough, it's clean, tidy and reasonably priced. It's situated perfectly on the high street and on a sunny day lovely to sit outside.

used this recently clean and tidy staff were friendly nice coffee allthough didnt try cakes they looked good at first does not look a lot of room but more tables at rear not expensive

Just visited for cake and coffee and were not disappointed. Pleasant busy coffee house in the main street. Will return.

Had to wait a long time for pannis and salad. Had finished drinks before food arrived. Pannini,was ok but salad accompanying it was brown and tired. Very disappointed won't be eating there again.

Had Paninis and tea and coffee today. Had to wait a long time for food and had finished our drinks a long time before it arrived. Food was lovely but salad garnish looked tired - lettuce leaves were brown on the edges. Cappuccino tasted strange and cup for tea was stained. Usually very good but a bit disappointed this time.

Visited this cafe today and I was overwhelmed by the lovely atmosphere from all the staff. Food was great, along with the fast service provided by the young girls, fantastic little cafe. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

It looked appealing from the outside and the service was cheerful enough but it seemed understaffed.We placed our order to find our first choice was no longer available and once we placed our order the next thing we heard was a customer asking how long their order was going to be.Not an enjoyable atmosphere.

We went here for coffee and toast. Service was friendly and the coffee was good. It said on the menu thick toast and it was! The bread used was of very good quality.

My wife and I visited this restaurant today, after finding a seat we sat and waited for service but none arrived. My wife then went to enquire and found that you were expected to order at the bar, that is if you could divert the staff from their private conversations. After ordering you are then expected to pay in advance. They do not take any information from you as to where you are sitting and as consequence your meals do a circuit of the restaurant before finally arriving at your table. Not impressed, will not be visiting again there are too many better restaurants nearby.

Have bypassed this cafe lots of times in the because it looked a little tired, but went in today as it somehow looked much brighter. Went with a friend and her young grandson. The cafe was very welcoming inside and easily roomy enough for the pushchair. The staff helpfully provided a jug of water to heat the little ones food. The pan inis we ordered were lovely and came with salad accompaniment. The tea was served in a nice pot. The prices were good. We shall definitely return. As we left I noticed a sign outside stating 'under new management ' so perhaps that's why the cafe seemed more welcoming from outside. At any rate it's well worth a visit.

Had a great experience here with my friend and grandson. The staff were very friendly and there is a lovely atmosphere. They provided hot water so I could warm my grandsons food. The coffee was good and a great price, tea came in a nice pot and we really enjoyed our panini's. We will be returning soon

Beautiful old building Lends character to the cafe. Staff friendly and welcoming, will definitely return.

Drinks were really nice, good customer service all the staff were very friendly. However it was clear to see and taste that the jacket potatoes were microwaved and dry.

I occasionally go to bridgnorth with my friends and decided to go to cafe express, after it was recommended by my mom. I must say that the customer service was excellent, so polite and the waitresses were lovely . The cafe is under new management and the new manager welcomed us all in, got a lovely atmosphere from the place. I look forward to seeing additional changes and will definitely be visiting again soon!

Went for a quick coffee and noticed that the café is under new management, what a difference, great welcome and that awful sofa has gone in the back room, I believe that they are having some refurbishment done after talking to the new owner. Looking forward to seeing it after the work has been done.

We visit Bridgenorth regularly and having never been into this cafe, went in there for lunch. Walked in the mature blond lady on the counter gave no welcome. Found seats, couches were far to low chin was level with table. Went to order with the same women who spoke to me like I was something she had scrapped off her shoe, if it hadn't been the fact that my insulin dependant mom needed to eat I would have left. Drinks slammed on table by same women, then sandwiches slammed down with the comment "sandwiches etc" in a voice which gave me frost burn. Food was fine, service was a sub zero 10!

Pleasant eatery serving good coffee and freshly made food. The service from happy, smiley staff is excellent. Good food is prepared freshly for each order.Old world charm makes for relaxed atmosphere with the bustle of the High Street outside.

Popped in for a coffee and hot chocolate and was made to feel very welcome. Service was prompt and courteous to the point they refilled my daughters drink when she spilt it. Coffee was so nice I stayed for seconds. Top marks

Great coffee, excellent sandwich, friendly staff
