Coco Coffee Bar in Shropshire

We moored in Ellesmere on our narrowboat holiday and went in search of something to eat. Not wanting a full-blown restaurant meal we dicovered the Coco Coffee Bar. We made the right choice. The jacket potatoes are simply gorgeous. With a large enough variety of fillings to suit most tastes. Accompanied by a nice, crisp, fresh salad. As it was a really hot day we all had soft drinks so, unfortunately, can't comment on the coffee. However, the lady owner was really friendly and chatted with us for quite a while, which was lovely. (We were the ones enquiring about the drop peppers). If you are in the area, don't walk past this little gem.

Lovely lunch with my former and her little girl. Thank you for looking after us so well, the food was delicious. See you soon

I was so disappointed with the outcome of this visit, it was recommended to us by another family member but it did not deliver. When we first arrived we stood for ten minutes waiting for a table to be cleaned not even a hello or we will be with you in a second they just ignored us while we were feeling awkward just stood there. We should have left then! I completely understand they were busy and service took longer then normal, and normally I wouldn’t get irritated however we waited over 45 minutes for food and then when they did bring it out they brought it to the wrong table. When they realised their mistake they gave my mum hers however I had to wait another 15minutes for them to make a new one that’s was nearly an hours wait on food. While I was waiting for the food I needed to use the toilet I asked if they had one available for me to use and she said no the owner won’t allow people to use the toilet, I explained that I was pregnant and was desperate she again said no the owner was too strict to allow me to use it. At this point I was desperate for the toilet and starving hungry when my food arrived I had to eat it so quickly that I didn’t even have chance to enjoy it or even taste it I ate it so quickly. Just to top everything else off as I was leaving the women at the till shouted across the room in front of every other customer “I hope you make it to the toilet in time” thank you very much for telling everyone in the room and embarrassing me more then I’ve ever been. I did not enjoy this meal or the experience and I can understand sometimes places won’t allow you to use the toilet but when you have already made someone wait over an hour and they are pregnant you could have made an exception instead I had to pay 20p for the privilege to use the public toilets. I wanted to give my mum a nice meal for her birthday but it was a disaster from start to finish.

Excellent little venue. Vanilla Latte was much better than what you get in your High Street Coffee shops. Had Avacado and Egg on Sour Dough Toast and it was exceptional. Will stop again if working in the town. Staff were lovely and obliging. Nothing too much for them.

Little coffee shop. Nice lattes and the gluten free citrus cake was gorgeous- I am a gluten eater but highly recommend it. Pity they don’t have a customer toilet. Very friendly.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. There was a good selection of cakes and we very much enjoyed our hot chocolate and cake. The only downside was not having a toilet for customer use.

The staff was very nice and accommodating for our large party. There were 6 of us and although we had to sit at separate tables it was very enjoyable. They were a bit busy, but the food was great. The avocado toast was very tasty. As were the Benedicts. I would absolutely go there again.

Four of us went in for lunch. This is a small cafe but very comfortable and with well spaced tables. We had a variety of food, a brunch, a bagel, eggs on toast, and a toasted sandwich. All was excellent quality, generous portions, and piping hot. The teapot for two was enormous! There’s a variety of teas and coffees available, and cold drinks too. The lemon cheesecake and ice cream I had for pudding was the best I’ve ever tasted! So lemony. Obviously homemade not bought in. Altogether everything was faultless. Friendly and efficient staff. Clean and welcoming environment. Very highly recommended.

We called in here on Saturday in the middle of a walk. We took the last table and were told that there would be a wait for food, which was not an issue. We had two very good coffees and within a very reasonable waiting time our food arrived which was very good. I also then had a piece of an unusual, but very delicious apricot cake, which I really enjoyed. Very good value and a nice clean place to eat that looks to be very popular with locals.

Nice little coffee shop, coffee and service really good, but we had a panini each and they were tasteless hardly anything on them£4.95 each very disappointed. I mentioned it to the girl who served us and she just giggled, £17 and not worth £10 felt ripped off won’t be going back, shame..

Lovely little cafe with good food and very friendly staff. Will be going back again as soon as I'm in the area.

We called in on the off chance for brunch. We didn't realise it was the EOTHO menu, the deals were excellent. The food was lovely really nice. The service was friendly and welcoming. My husband just needs to shrink so that he can fit under the fan 😂. Will visit again.

Our first venture into any type of eatery after easing of restrictions and felt comfortable to eat in. Welcoming friendly staff. Good coffee and outstanding homemade cake. Thank you ladies, what a treat.

Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was nice and fresh. Had a jacket potato with tuna mayo and ham and pineapple wrap and we both enjoy our food. Staff took and interest in our views and personal well being. Look forward to popping back one day.

Not an extensive menu but traditional cafe food, (sandwiches, paninis, baked pots, soup and cakes etc), at reasonable prices and friendly staff.

This little coffee shop is a gem, it is big enough for its location but small enough to retain its warm and friendly atmosphere, it serves a selection of teas, coffees and soft drinks aswell as cakes and savouries all of which are home made and delicious, the range of produce caters for all including vegetarian, vegan and gluten intollerent and a table is set aside in the enterance to enable patrons with dogs to stop and take a break, there is a loo but you have to ask as there is no signage to indicate its exsistance.

Been here a couple of times with my cousin. Lovely little gem. Staff are always welcoming. Wide ranges of food and drink on offer. I have had panni and crepes which have been great and really enjoyed. Well worth a visit.

I love a coffee and cake treat at Cocos very nice home made cakes always spoilt for choice. Light lunches are also super tasty. Excellent staff very friendly.

We stopped for breakfast during our canal boat trip. Food was good , well priced and the staff incredibly nice and helpful. Worth going back.

Friendly staff, good choice of food. Best in town. Support small enterprises, or you'll loose them to the chain shops.

We come here every time we visit Ellesmere. This time we visited twice in same day for Brunch & afternoon tea. Cafe small but comfortable, staff always helpful & friendly & food delicious. I'm pretty sure if you asked they would do table service too. I asked for cheese with my Fruit cake/Bara & although not on menu, it was no problem to them. Highly recommend.

Seven of us turned up for brunch having moored our barge for the night in Ellesmere. Fortunately it was quiet (as it's quite a small café) and we sat on 2 tables. We ordered a variety of things, but they all came out close together and were well presented for a Café. The food was lovely and the portions were good and although there was no real 'small talk' that you may expect from a privately run Café/Coffee shop, the waitress was pleasant and efficient. The verdict is that it was good food offered at good value and if in town again we would revisit.

Been coming here for several years when on the canal. Always look forward to a friendly welcome and have never been disappointed. Lovely food and can recommend breakfast.

Called in late morning. Had our little dog, so we sat in the entrance area, where a dog water bowl was provided. (I imagine this area would be cold on a winter's day, but was perfect for us today). We had milkshakes and pininis.

All's ways go back for there nice cakes and great coffee great service and nice place for a little chat .

Best coffee in Ellesmere. Delicious homemade cakes. The Cherry & Coconut cake is to die for. Great coffee. Lovely staff. Highly recommended xx

The best coffee ive had for a long time and the food is amazing, freshly cooked to order well done team coco! Xx

We stopped here for lunch with 2 gluten frees and a vegetarian in our party. We were all spoilt for choice. They had gluten free paninis and bread so all options were available to us. There was also some lovely looking homemade cakes including a gluten free lemon sponge. I believe they also did gluten free crepes. Would recommend and return if I was in the area.

Called at coco,s for coffee and a catch up with a couple of friends. My one friend has to have gluten free and she was able to have a crepe and large slice of carrot cake which looked delicious. She is a regular here as they do o good choice of gluten free food. I had a homemade sausage roll just out of the oven and a piece of the carrot cake. The pastry was lovely and flaky and the cake was amazing. My other friend had a bacon and brie pannini which she said was very tasty. She had a piece of coconut and cherry cake which looked really nice.

Lovely snack lunch with a friend. Reasonably priced and service was good with relaxed atmosphere. Certainly recommend.

If you want loud coffee machines spluttering in the background, cardboard sandwiches, robotic staff then do not visit Cocos ! We are regular customers to this lovely little coffee shop and have never experienced anything but friendliness, good home cooked food (love the paninis) and a great atmosphere where you can relax. Ignore the negative comments. It is a credit to the lady owner and her staff.

A nice break in our walk, well placed on the main road. Excellent coffee and scones. A cosy cafe that serves light lunches as well as a choice of teas, coffees, and cakes.

Middle aged lady running the show is not really suited to serving the public without a leash. Young girl waiting on tables was charming, and couldn't have been more pleasant. Late morning, ordered an egg & bacon bap off the menu, to be told "we don't serve eggs after 11.30am, but I could have a sausage and bacon one instead!" Hopefully, should we ever return, the specialist egg fryer will be employed full time & we can once again enjoy the hedonistic delights of an egg in the afternoon.

Nice coffee bar , juice bar , sandwiches, baguettes , paninis ! Caters for children and vegitarians too , main...

Después de un largo paseo por la semana pasada, llamé para colemere una bebida fría y vi hacer frappes coco's ahora, estaban deliciosos, volveremos, también ayudado por el gran servicio, gracias.

Un café pequeño y encantador, disfrutamos mucho de nuestra visita, la comida era deliciosa y muy buenos precios. Volveremos!

El té de la tarde con una enorme taza de té para dos y muy generoso de Bara Brith con buenas porciones de mantequilla. El personal es muy amable y sirve enseguida. Conexión rápida si quieres. Para leer la prensa diaria. Acogedor. Sin duda visitar de nuevo cuando en la zona

We called into coco for a coffee and lunch. We were welcomed by a middle aged woman who wasn't very pleasant to say the least. During our coffee we overheard a conversation with a fellow customer where she was very sharp and rude. Plenty of other good options in Ellesmere with much better hospitality and a nicer atmosphere. Won't be returning.

Was very disappointed with my visit here, it was very expensive for what we received. I was unhappy with the atmosphere as I felt it wasn't very welcoming. Overall I was not satisfied in comparison to other cafes I have visited in Ellesmere.

Staggered off the canal boat and into Ellesmere to look for a decent coffee and some breakfast. Coco's hit the mark, great coffee, bacon bap and sausage roll. Hilarious conversations going on all around us. Would very much recommend

Excellent food and service. Friendly family atmosphere. When you come to Ellesmere it's a must to visit

Highly recommend this lovely little cafe situated in the small town of Ellesmere, coffee's are beautiful as well as the fresh cakes and delicious food, afternoon tea is by far the best I've had xx

Small premises. Plenty of choices from the menu. Able to use staff toilets. Friendly staff. would be difficult access for wheelchair user

Whether it's for a quick coffee in the morning or a lunchstop later in the day, you can be sure of a warm welcome and excellent food in this busy venue on the main street. There is always some tempting treat available, locally made; the place is spotless if you are eating in, and many items are available for takeaway.

Fresh food.varied menu.specials offered.gorgeous desserts and variety of hot drinks. Attentive staff. Everything clean and tidy.would recommend.

we called in whilst on a canal boat trip, in the late morning. my daughter enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate with cream and maltesers. We ordered bacon and brie toasted rolls and asked for cranberry sauce as well. The lady forgot to add the sauce but when reminded brought us each a little dish of sauce so we were able to add as much as we liked which worked out better.Our cappuccinos were a little more like lattes though but hot and welcome after a busy morning on the cana. Friendly staff

Coco's can get quite busy and crowded They usually have a soup of the day and offer some lovely sandwiches and toasties. With a good range of cakes

Lunch time menu very good, soup and a sandwich excellent value for money, will deffo be going back, the take away sandwich was fresh and tasty.

The service is always friendly and food spot on, lovely home cooked food at great prices. Nice for a coffee and a chat or some lunch, and takeaway desserts too.

Stopped to have lunch. Enjoyed a savoury crepe with salad garnish and a latte coffee. Both were enjoyable. The staff were very pleasant and willing. The seating area although quite small was welcoming. Daily newspaper available for customers. Sadly, it was not possible to pay by card - cash only.

Popped in on a mid-week afternoon after we (3 of us) had decided to visit Ellesmere. This really was 'just what the doctor ordered'; we all had a really tasty and generous serving of home-made tomato and basil soup, with sandwiches/paninis to follow; delicious ! Tea and coffee were both excellent also. A lovely relaxed oasis in a hectic world; will visit again when in the area.

Negative reviews aren't deserved at all here. A fantastic little coffee shop serving homemade cakes, jacket potatoes and great sandwiches. Always worth the money and the hot chocolate is to die for made the proper way with Milk and lots of cream. Staff are a friendly bunch and a lovely cosy relaxed atmosphere. More regular visits are in order.

Always good value and excellent service. Every one smiles and you never feel uncomfortable, tend to turn up with a book and no one looks at me oddly :) a lovely place with food that I never get around to making at home so it's always a treat!

My partner and I were out walking and fancied a light lunch, we found coco coffee bar on the Main Street through ellesmere, we had a panini each and then treated ourselves to a homemade piece of coffee cake, it was delightful, everywhere else in the town was pub lunches or takeaways. Thank you for looking after us, also a great place to find out local knowledge and where to go for a good walk.

I popped in for a takeaway and saw some people having afternoon tea. It looked delicious so imyself and a friend booked one as a treat. I never ate a thing later until the next morning as I was so full.

Popped in here for coffee and cake! The cafe is nothing special, very modern but not much on offer in the way of a proper meal! More sandwiches etc..

Quite often visit with family or by myself, always amazing service, coffee and food, really is a little gem in Ellesmere and love to come home from uni to spend some time there!

Great coffee, service and the crepes were wonderful. Would definately recommend and will be calling again. Excellent all round !!

a very friendly little coffee shop...a fab place to take time out from a busy day. A good selection of tasty savoury snacks and lots of home made cakes to choose from on the counter.

We visited late afternoon on a Wednesday and were the only people in the cafe. We asked for a minute to decide what we wanted which was a mistake as 5 mins later we couldn't attract anyone's attention to place an order- the two ladies were too busy chatting in the kitchen and we'd been forgotten. On a more positive note the drinks were good value and refreshing, I just wish the service had been better.

I came in at lunch time with my cousin who was visiting from New Zealand and my daughter. My cousin had a cheese and bacon crepe with garnish , I had a jacket potato with homemade coronation chicken and coleslaw, salad and my daughter had a ham and cheese panini. It was all delicious and my cousin from New Zealand could,nt believe how good value it was. Unfortunately we were too full to eat any of the delicious cakes that were on view.

CoCo Coffee Bar always has a friendly welcome and provides a wide range of snacks, some great cakes all homemade by Julie. Would recommend.

Called in for a quick coffee and chocolate, very reasonably priced, £3.10 for the two drinks, pleasant staff, nice enough place, just nothing special

We popped in for coffee and shared a slice of cake. The tea was fine, but in a blind taste, the cappuccino would not have been identifiable as coffee as it was so weak. Pity, as the service was friendly. The coffee cake was over-sweet without tasting much of coffee and I have a sweet tooth. Disappointing to say that it was the worst coffee and cake in our week long holiday in the area.

Whenever we are in Ellesmere we visit this cafe. Then bacon and sausage sandwiches are wonderful. Service is efficient and friendly.

Having been for a walk in Colemere and Ellesmere on a cold winters day we were ready for lunch. We parked up and spotted this inviting looking place, busy for a Wednesday, always a good sign. We were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The soups of the day were tomato and basil which was delicious, fresh and filling. The stilton and broccoli soup was equally as delicious and homemade. We had sandwiches which were lovely and fresh to go with it and two speciality coffees all for £14. They offer jacket potatoes, panini, baguettes and hot sandwiches and baps of a variety of choices. We noticed on the way out that there are two tables in a seperate area with a big bowl of water, the doggy dining area we were told! Next time I visit in the summer we will bring the pooch with us instead of leaving her in the car, why should dogs miss out on this wonderful cafe food.

Drink in or take out and cakes to select too. choice was good. Caters more for drinking in that take away.

A group of us popped in here after a walk around the nearby Mere and i am so glad we did.It looks like any small well run cafe with very friendly and helpful staff.It offers simple food, all well prepared, presented and very tasty. I was especially pleased because they also offered a range of dishes that were all suitable for a Coeliac such as myself. The day we visited they even had a delicious GF sponge cake to finish lunch off with.Such a treat to find Coeliac friendly food without having to book ahead....well done Coco Coffee Bar!
