Eighty-Six'd in Telford and Wrekin

Just had lunch here, I'm not a salad person but your salads are really nice with unusual touches like fresh herbs, rice and quinoa. Cakes looked divine. Will visit again

Fabulous! Delicious food done well and super fresh. On the edge of the main tourist area but so worth the extra few steps.

A friend of mine was visiting Ironbridge from North Wales, and wanted to meet up to explore the town and a walk along the River Severn. I looked on TripAdvisor for cafes with good vegan options for him - and found Eighty Six'd. The cafe is small and intimate; it's like a converted maisonette. The loo is downstairs by the front door, there's a few steps up to the main cafe floor (which has lovely big bay-windows), and the kitchen and till are in an adjoining room. Staff were polite and gave us time to peruse the menu and chat. There's art and poetry from local creators on the walls exhibited like a mini-museum; it's for sale too for the curators amongst you, but worth having a wander around to just look. Maggie Cameron's bird-themed art is beautiful! I didn't have food, just an Earl Grey tea, but my friend ordered a vegan chickpea and sweet potato salad, along with a vegan scone with coconut cream and preserve. Everything was beautifully presented (very colourful!) and he was impressed with the quality of the food - so next time I find myself in Ironbridge, I'll try something vegan myself! I did sneak a bit of the coconut cream out of curiosity, and it was pretty moreish... Thanks, folks - great to drop by, hopefully we can do so again sometime.

Lovely food. Small menu but perfectly cooked. Interesting salads which made a welcome change. Will definitely return.

We visited Ironbridge today and came across this lovely little cafe that we had missed on previous visits to the area. The menu is great; lots of interesting dishes to choose from for lunch or a snack. We had a delicious lunch and bought some cakes to bring home. We finished the cakes 5 minutes ago which prompted this review as they were AMAZING. I think they were probably the best cakes that I have ever tasted. The service was good and staff nice. I think we'll be visiting Ironbridge a bit more often now lol!

Amazing coffee in a cute quickly cafe. Just off the main high street and upstairs above a hairdressers but worth finding. Coffee was delicious.

An absolute delight of a tearoom hidden away in such a way that the majority of people might miss it if they weren't looking... hard luck to them I say!! The tearoom itself is pretty spartan and bare of the usual "quaint" stuff a lot of places seem beset on decorating themselves with but this just gives you way more time to look at and enjoy the food and views here! The menu isn't massive either, just a choice of a few very excellent tasting and beautifully presented meals to enjoy! Add to that it's all their own work and I'm sure you'll agree that this really is a hidden gem!

If ever you wanted proof that TripAdvisor works then this is it. We are regular visitors to Ironbridge and we searched TripAdvisor for somewhere for a light lunchtime sandwich. Up came the rather awkwardly titled eighty-six'd with a full 5 stars. It was totally justified, the staff were pleasant and professional and the sandwiches were excellent. Will definitely visit next time we are in Ironbridge.

Had a delicious, freshly baked cinnamon bun and a loose leaf vanilla rooibos - perfect combination. This is my favourite local cafe and I love the people who run it.

We had read the TripAdvisor reviews and thought that it sounded good and decided to give it a try which with hindsight was a mistake. After we placed the order but for the significant proportion of our visit, there was a child in the food preparation area (I won't call it a kitchen as such but there was uncovered food in there) with a really bad cough. There were two adults in there so they both must have agreed to this situation. Whilst it would never be acceptable in my opinion, it was even more worrying as one of us is immunosuppressed due to a medical condition and medication. Laughingly, the listing on TripAdvisor classes the place as "healthy" which is a bit ironic. With hindsight we should have just left but we'd ordered hot food so it didn't seem fair on them, but we regretted it later. On the plus side the food and hot drinks were nice enough.

Gorgeous and original cafe. A quirky menu and the food is beautifully presented and all our choices were delicious and incredible value. After that we had to try the puddings, great frangipane, apple and blackberry scones, damson jam, all home made. I must also mention the Turmeric Latte, stunning. All backed up with friendly unobtrusive service from the owners.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere at Eighty Six'd. A great range of drinks and menu so good I had trouble choosing what to eat. Ended up with the best (vegan) Reuben I've ever eaten; varied, fresh salads making the most of home-grown ingredients and a delicious cinnamon bun. Already looking forward to my next visit! Thank you.

So glad we went here for lunch and if in Ironbridge would suggest you do visit. It has limited seating so maybe phone ahead to check if space or make a reservation. The lunch menu was varied and all cooked fresh. We had quesadillas with sweet potatoe and cheese filling with a great tasting side salad along with toasties which quote "one of the best toasties I have ever had". For the first time in years I had a coke float and if dont know what this is go along and try it. They have a wide variety of smoothies which on a warm day were a welcome relief. Staff were lovely and attentive so overall well worth a visit. We were looking forward to their home made scones but did not have any space left so will be back to try them next time in Ironbridge.

Amazing food and drinks and very friendly staff. This is a hidden gem. There is not a kids menu but they made a toasted cheese sandwich for our kids who then had ice cream for dessert.

Very delightful restaurant with super healthy and very yummy main courses, drinks, and desserts. Decor is fun. They are also environmentally conscious in a cool way.

Very good service, ambience, personnel and coffee. Took a salad to go, which was flexed to my needs. Also provided a charger for my iPhone which enabled me to write this review!

Lovely homemade food in a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Very accommodating for our table of 8.

After visiting Brosely on a Wednesday afternoon when we discovered every closed, we drove on to Ironbridge to find a late lunch. Our visit started with a warm and covid safe welcome. Prompt and relaxing service. We both have dietary requirements, which were deftly handled, and we enjoyed a delicious salad each. One of us had Eton mess... what a generous portion! And also very tasty too. Thank you, if we were local, it would be my regular cafe.

We came here as a group of six people who each had a drink and an item of food. The music was great (60's soul/motown) and gave the place a really cool relaxed vibe. It was a comfortable place to hang out - nice and bright - lots of natural light.The guy who served us was friendly and helpful, and happy to slightly tweak the sandwich fillings for example, to suit our preferences. The food and drink were all VERY nice indeed. A couple of us had toasted sandwiches, and others had cakes. It all looked at tasted amazing!Just one small quibble - we were waiting nearly an hour before we'd all received food and drink, which all came out at completely different times. Service seemed a little confused and hectic. I noticed for example that a diet coke and a cherry coke were served ten minutes apart. Was someone getting a bit flustered because it was busy, perhaps? Can I recommend taking a deep breath, and thinking about the most time-efficient way to serve people? Maybe, serve everyone's drinks first? And, as a bare minimum, please tell customers if there's going to be a long delay!

Visited Ironbridge en route from London to Shropshire on a Sat. Hungry by the time we parked on outskirts of town at 1pm, we spotted the cafe windows as we walked past & then saw the billboard on the first roundabout on the edge of town. Warm welcome, didn't have to wait too long for food, which seemed all home-made. Great veggie options! (We even loved the music esp. by Americana folk trio Wildwood Kin).

This family run cafe is the best in town, even on lockdown they are still doing a fabulous takeaway.The quiche is to die for.This past year has been so hard for all in the hospitality trade, The staff always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome .Give it a go. It’s a must you won’t be sorry.

We’ve been here a few times and it’s always been really nice, nice food and cakes, they are open during the current lockdown for takeaway food and drinks so we had Chocolate Brownies and a coffee which was lovely 👍

An excellent experience here. The Mexican soup was the best soup I’ve ever had out and the Reuben sandwich was delicious. Really good homemade lemonade and it was all rounded off with brilliant service! Cannot recommend enough!

Fabulous selection of homemade cake and very friendly service. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back.

Great spot for a light lunch just at the end of the Wharfage. Excellent sandwiches - the toasted Reuben was proper NY deli quality - and superb choice and quality of cakes. Very good coffee too. It was busy today and so they took a mobile number and gave us a call when a table was coming free to save us hanging about. Very highly recommended.

After a warm welcome at the door today by friendly host Andy, we were taken upstairs to a bright and quirky room with triple aspect,where we were seated by an open window. The café was decorated with fresh cut flowers that looked like they had been picked from a beautiful country garden...the lettuce and other salad leaves were home-grown too, according to the simple menu. We ate tasty and original 'hot-pressed sandwiches'(aka toasties!). We tried the interesting-sounding pastrami and sauerkraut, and the veggie alternative with aubergine and sauerkraut (which was the overall winner, though both were delicious and more-ish!). Background music was an eclectic mix of soulful tunes, which we were glad of, after 2 nights on a campsite with no sounds! We finished with a shared lemon and poppy seed cake with mascarpone frosting, served cool from the chiller in the 30° heat we are experiencing this summer...it was light and delectable.This place is off the beaten track but well worth discovering.

Service was excellent, coffee very nice, but i found it expensive for food, and the hard bench seats could do with some cushions

Stopped off for a coffee and cake, what a lovely warm, welcoming eating place. I chose the bakewell tart, it was sublime alongside a delish coffee. Only wished I did not have a booking back at my hotel in the evening, would quiet happily have eaten here instead. All the food brought out was well presented, my family members had sanwiches, they were large and beautifully accompanied with couple of garnishes. Would make a bee line for this place if we ever visit again.

A warm welcome awaited us on a chilly, wet afternoon. We were spoilt for choice as regards homemade cakes and the coffee was delicious. A lovely venue which supports local artists.

Lovely , they deserve their 5 star reviews, so glad we found this cool cafe, we are now regulars.Home made generous portions.

My husband and I had lunch before heading to a museum. The food was delicious, and the people running it were lovely. We both had a sandwich which came with crisps and salad. We were going to have one of their amazing looking desserts, but had no room for it. Someday we hope to return!

Lovely little find, very tiny place but food is great, best sandwich I have had in a long time....it aint no normal sandwich, its delicious. Great staff, yummy homemade cakes.

Lovely little cafe, beautifully run, serving the best fresh food around. Friendly service with a lovely atmosphere. Serves the finest mocha!! Well worth a visit..

Went here with friends for Sunday lunch. Wonderful menu, friendly service, tiny number of covers but luckily beat the rush. Great food, I had quiche with salad, very tasty & the salad was very good, decent portions too. A very enjoyable visit

Second visit to EightySix'd now. Really impressed again. Super chilled, competent and attentive staff. Great coffee, delicious lunch and amazing cake.Wife and I had the Reuben sandwich which was the best Reuben I've eaten to date. Lovely salad especially the super zingy rice and lentils (deffo stealing that one #SorryNotSorry).And the warm bourbon blondie and ice cream for pudding was off the scale. Best cafe in Ironbridge by a country mile.

Lovely atmosphere. Home cooked, freshly prepared with vegan options. Always enjoy coming here - one of my favourite places locally.

Friendly helpful staff offering delicious food with good choices. Excellent cake and quesadillas served in a timely manner

Excellent Food, mostly vegan and vegatarian. Excellent service, advice and expertise. Loved it, even the non-vegan companions enjoyed it.

Would recommend to anyone wanting a memorable experience. Lovely location and excellent food and service. You will not be disappointed

Found this lovely cafe on the corner not far from the bridge. The coffee and cakes were excellent, the proprietors very friendly and so kind they even lent us a charger for our dead phones so we could take more pictures of the bridge. Thank you both so much, it was very much appreciated.

Great stop for coffee with a wonderful atmosphere and great views down the high street of Iron bridge. Love the art work on the walls.

Four of us went for brunch the food was excellent followed by good coffee, the staff were very attentive and pleasant will definitely go back.

Once again, a lovely lunch. Impeccable food, beautifully presented by friendly staff. Sad thing was, we didn't have time to have pudding and coffee! Next time will be sooner the later methinks.

The food and coffee at this little cafe is exceptional. Everything looked and tasted as if it were made with love, care and attention. Our lunchtime sandwiches were generous, interesting and delicious (mine involved cheese, roasted aubergine and horse raddish mayo! The black cherry and white chocolate frangipane tart was one of the most amazing things I have every eaten. I bow to the pastry chef and thank her!!!! Can't wait to return.

Been a few times to this lovely cafe, good location, amazing food and cakes and also good coffee. Pastrami sandwich is my personal favourite.

I've been here many times and never been disappointed.The quality of the food is really good, everything fresh, and very tasty Especially their quiches are absolutely delicious Amazing cakes, lots of variety

Popped in for lunch with the family. Very small cafe (only about 5 tables) but the other customers were so kind and proactive in moving seats to make sure the most people could fit in. The sandwich I ordered was superb but the more simple bagels I got for the children were a little sparse inside (ie not a huge amount of meat) but there were no complaints. Would def recommend.

We visit 86'd regularly. Cannot beat their food or cakes. So interesting and tasty. Congrats on being #1 on TA. Very well deserved!

My wife and are regulars at Eighty-Six’d, whether it is the drinks, cakes or the sandwiches, the food is simply exquisite and the service is always very good.

I’d go back to Ironbridge purely to visit here again. It’s cute and quirky inside, with a wonderfully invented food menu (including an amazing array of cake!) and extensive drinks list (teas, coffees, milkshakes, coke floats). The staff are warm and friendly and create delicious, homemade food.

Excellent place to eat and drink, lots of variety a large selection of vegetarian meals and heavenly cakes, very relaxing and attentive staff, will definitely visit again.

Cheeky little find in Ironbridge an absolute must for Veggies and Vegans. Great food and wonderful surroundings.

Have been on a number of occasions, always met with a warm, friendly smile. The plum cake we had was absolutely delicious, all made with fresh ingredients.

Popped in on a Saturday afternoon as café recommended by a friend who has just moved to the area. Fab cakes and my husband said it was the best hot chocolate he'd drunk in a long time. Staff are exceptionally friendly. Do pop in if you're in the area.

My second visit here and as good as the first! The toasted Reubens sandwich was ace and came with two salads and crisps . What a find and great value

This was our first visit. It’s a very small coffee shop seating 20. We were offered a table to share which was fine but don’t let this put you off.. we didn’t wait long for a seat in the window which strangely is very quiet for a busy road

We go here regularly because the staff are so friendly and welcoming, the coffee is good, the food is fabulous (especially the cakes!) and the prices are more then reasonable. Highly recommended!

This gorgeous little coffee shop is hidden away in Ironbridge. Very welcoming, Delicious coffee and cakes, more importantly for me they cater for gluten free and the cakes are all homemade. out of this world thank you!

I researched this place on TripAdvisor after booking my raft tour as I knew we would want a relax and snack afterwards. The reviews on here are extremely positive and as soon as we saw the outside of the cafe we could see why. We walked up the short flight of stairs and found a sweet little seating area. All the tables were full but a lovely gentleman called us over to join him and his wife because he didn't want us missing out on this lovely place. We ordered the chocolate brownies and hot chocolates and they arrived promptly. The waitress was polite and courteous. The brownie was the best I've had and the hot chocolate was delicious. I loved the artwork hung around the place. It is a very sweet cafe and definitely worth a visit.

A real find for a delicious light lunch. Asked if we have allergies/dislikes. Great side of potato salad and a rice dish

Fresh, homemade food, delicious quiche and salads. Friendly welcome, cosy space. Would definitely recommend

I was taken here by a friend who had raved about it and I was not disappointed. Unusual but delicious combinations and everything is wonderfully fresh and home made in the open kitchen. As all the food is cooked to order there may be a little wait but it is well worth it. So to sum up ..... great coffee, fantastic main courses and cakes to die for! We were served by the lovely Molly who could not do enough for us. My only regret is that it's been open for six years and I've only just discovered it so have got some making up to do!

I really enjoy meeting up with friends at Eighty-Six'd. The cakes are to die for and the lunchtime menu very different from the usual fare. Delicious and unusual salads are amongst my favourites and the staff are always keen to help anyone with special dietary needs. It's quite a small place, though, and so the tables are close together and it can be a little noisy if there's a family eating. However, that's a small price to pay for a very good local cafe.

A friendly welcome. Beautifully clean kitchen and seating area. Very accommodating and made my daughter her perfect sandwich. The homemade hummus and pepper bagel was to die for and side salad was fresh and high quality. Freshly squeezed orange juice and a piping hot coffee too. A great find.

Delicious food and lovely staff. One of the best, yet hidden places in Ironbridge! Not easy to find if you’re not local, but well worth hunting down

Lovely little spot. Food fresh and fantastic. Impossible to resist the coffee and cakes as a well earned treat after trekking up and down Ironbridge gorge.

A superb little cafe/coffee shop. Hubby couldn’t resist freshly out of the oven quiche with a delicious hot chocolate. I had gluten free polenta cake with dark chocolate shards with a wonderful freshly brewed pot of tea.

Didnt realise it was vegetarian until I got there, however they did serve scrambled eggs for breakfast so all was good. Amazing coffee!

Friendly staff and very accommodating, I’m a regular here and have taken family and friends for lunch, everyone has enjoyed the food and surroundings. It’s my favourite cafe for food in Ironbridge and the staff always remember me whenever I visit. There’s a limited choice on the menu but the food is just delicious freshly prepared on the premises. There’s fabulous cakes on offer which are reasonably priced.

Small cafe on the first floor of a building situated in the main high street in Ironbridge.

Nice little Indy cafe in Ironbridge. Friendly staff and nice surroundings with local art on the walls. Limited menu but good, and cakes booked great.

Being vegan i find it very difficult to find somewhere where I can eat anything at all, let alone a whole menu! This lovely cafe had amazing food and great coffee too! The two ladies who were working when I went in were lovely and really welcoming. I think I have found my new favourite place

After visiting the bridge, we were recommended café Eighty-Six'd by one of the locals we met - GOOD RECOMMENDATION!!

Really enjoyed my experience here - I had a Big pot of Tea and a Sandwich for Lunch on a sleepy Saturday afternoon.

Tried the new walkway on the Iron bridge to view the restoration. Then took my son,to my cafe of choice,amazing cakes as always and great friendly staff. Victoria sponge,coffee and walnut,and hot spiced apple cake...amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough:)

Fantastic little cafe with a view of Ironbridge High Street, food was perfect and great for veggies and vegans.

I have eaten here a couple of times and had excellent drinks and food each time . I have some food intolerances and the staff were more than happy to advise .Nice place with a relaxed environment.

The food here is very good. Really interesting combinations and all tasty. Coffee is odd tasting...not to our taste...but apart from that, it’s well worth a visit during the day.

A friend of mine has been banging on for months about how good the food is at Eighty-Six'd and having been for the first time, I'm sorry I didn't pay him more attention!

I’m slightly reluctant to write this review as I have often enjoyed the quiet and pleasant atmosphere at this beautiful place. The quality of the food is absolutely second to none and you can taste the passion and creativity of the owners in every bite.

I visit Eighty-Six'd regularly and it is without doubt the go-to place in Ironbridge if you're looking for excellently prepared coffee, tasty, imaginative food and freshly prepared cakes. Oh my, the cakes. Undoubtedly, the best around and worth visiting this cafe even if you don't try anything else.

Lovely, welcoming café with interesting choices on the menu and lovely art to admire on the walls. My hubby had...

We don't visit this place as often as we used to but were there this morning and were reminded of...

As a local,this is my place of choice. Any friends or family visit,I always head here. Cosy and friendly and...

My Partner and I were spending a day in Ironbridge. We were unfortunate enough to try this cafe. Having walked...

We have a business in Ironbridge and this is our location of choice to impress.

There were 4 adults and a bay in our party for lunch. Two of us had the Moroccan chickpea stew (delicious), one had the best sandwich he'd ever eaten (pastrami, cheese and sauerkraut) and the other person had a beetroot and butternut squash salad (especially put together due to food intolerances).

We found this little coffee shop through trip advisor, tucked away from the main tourist area around the bridge, but none the worse for this. Staff were very welcoming, even though it was late in the day. Good coffee and a selection of lunches and cakes on offer, we enjoyed apple cake and lemon and poppy seed, both delicious.

Small cafe in a wedge shaped building. Discovered by accident. We just had coffee and a generous piece of delicious home made cake each, but there was a very creative and unusual menu of soups, sandwiches, salads etc. The cake was amongst the best I’ve had in a long time - recommended.

I cannot recommend this place enough, the food is so delicious, home cooked, wholesome and so tasty, service with a smile, gorgeous coffee, there is absolutely no other place in the area that compares. Can't wait to return!

Called in at opening time on a Sunday morning. The good coffee was topped by the astoundingly good cakes. A better name for it would be Eat More Cake. Highly recommended.

Absolutley brilliant place! Found it by accident, wonderful range of products to choose from and by far the best service in Ironbridge. Can't wait to visit again

Loved this place, 2 vegan milk options for coffee & tea, plus delicious soup & toasted hummus salad bagel! Very impressed, came back again today, but it was closed! Great job!

After walking up The Wrekin we decided to pop over to Ironbridge for a hot drink and cake. My partner looked online and saw fantastic reviews for this Cafe on Google.We visit Ironbridge periodically but never walk passed the top of Main Street. After walking slightly further we came to the Cafe. What a fantastic find. We arrived at 5ish and asked if we had chance for a drink to be advised they were open until 6pm. I was very pleased as I had already been eying up the fantastic home baked cakes on the counter. So much choice and very reasonable cost.The lady who served us was very friendly and chatty. She bought our order to our table including some water which was good.The Victoria sandwich and lemon with poppy seed cakes were delicious. My partner went up for a second flat white coffee as he thoroughly enjoyed. When I went to pay for another piece of Victoria sandwich to take home I saw the ladies were already baking pastry cakes and preparing more delights on the premises which we discussed. The Cafe is also advertised as an art gallery. We will Definitely be returning. Great cakes, great customer service and very reasonable prices.

We stopped there this week-end for a light lunch. We greatly enjoyed the quality of the produce used in this cafe. Only slight inconvenience is the difficulty to locate the entrance, but it does not reduce the pleasure!

So nice, and rare, to see an establishment doing a great range of healthy lunches, yummy cakes and drinks at fair prices. Relaxing and comfortable surroundings, and friendly staff. I love it here! Only wish they did takeaway so I could have their food every day!

Very good coffees, Scone with Cream and Jam and Hummus Platter! We walked out of one of the other cafe's in the town due to rudeness and found this beauty! We will be back.

This was a new experience for us, the restaurant is accessed via a staircase and is at first floor level it has great views down Ironbridge towards the power station, we had coffee and cake the cakes were excellent and the food other people were eating looked very good, the staff were very pleasant and helpful, it took a little while for the cakes to arrive but on balance it was well worth the wait

Been here many times but only reviewed once before. Food is always amazingly fresh with really innovative salads. Cakes are consistently superb, especially the espresso and walnut. Portions are generous and coffees are brill too. Can be a bit of a wait for food when busy but it's worth it. Probably my favourite place to eat.

I'm so glad we found this little cafe. The food here is excellent. Fresh, healthy and delicious. I found it very hard to choose from the menu. Every item on it was so tempting. I opted a seared nectarine, pecan and goats cheese salad and my husband had the black bean quesadilla. Both were fantastic. We each had a slice of homemade tart for dessert. I had the bakewell with spelt pastry. I would highly recommend it. My husband had the plum frangipani served with clotted cream. Yum!! Two very happy tummies. The service was also excellent, the girl was so friendly and helpful.
