I love this place. The pastries are the best as is the coffee. Perfect for a quick visit before train or even when you're not catching a train! Dog friendly too.

Fantastic little coffee shop on Dorridge station. I am train crew and love my extra hot decaff latte, it makes my day when I have the time to rush over and grab one. Seriously the best coffee I have ever had and I have had a lot, home and abroad!

Best place around for a good coffee, staff are always quick to serve as its hard for them to prep coffee in time for people to catch trains. I go there multiple times a week sometimes solo, sometimes with the family and it's always good. Thanks guys 👌🏼

Appalling service. Advised that train was due in 5 mins, said drinks could be made. Staff chatted instead of making drinks. When multiple customers complained one staff said “don’t start with me” my self and multiple other customers had walk out without our drinks/food to get the train. Hands down the worst service.

Got to the cafe 13 minutes before our train - the staff asked us what time our train was and we were rudely told ‘ no way’ . There was around 3/4 members of staff behind the bar, despite this two flat whites could not be made in 13 minutes ? Why have a railway cafe if you are unable to serve commuters

A fantastic coffee shop located right at Dorridge Train Station. I make sure to visit every time I'm in the area. They make the best espresso in Dorridge and Knowle.

I had a delightful experience at the coffee shop located at Dorridge Train Station. The cosy atmosphere, paired with a nice cup of tea, made my wait for a connecting train quite enjoyable. The staff's friendliness and efficient service stood out, making it a perfect spot to relax before continuing my journey. Conveniently situated at the train station, it's an ideal choice when you have time to spare for a warm drink and a comfortable break. I highly recommend it for both the tea aficionado and those looking for a pleasant stop during transit.

First time I have caught the train from Dorridge and fancied a hot drink for the train to London. Appreciating the train would be due very soon I asked if it was possible to get two hot drinks to go by the time the train was due. I was rudely told no chance. It was a short period of time I understand but a simple no sorry would have sufficed. First impressions are everything and I won’t be back.

A complete rip-off! Asked for a flate white £3.25 - the smallest cup and when I sat down on the train that I nearly missed was presented with a concoction of warm brown sludge!

Tasty food, but too expensive! I think this establishment know they have a captive audience because a lot of travellers change trains here…nearly £10 for a flapjack and a very small brioche bun with a little halloumi and salad, plus an attitude when I commented on the price. Then informing me the food is freshly made and they are “not a chain”. Admittedly the flapjack was very nice.

Went for coffee and we used to love this coffee shop but we went at lunchtime and sadly it just looked very tired and to be honest a bit run down and dirty. The floor needed a jolly good clean. The windows were dirty and the leather seats could have looked brand new again if only someone would give the leather a clean. The tables needed re oiling or a good varnish too. It wouldn’t take much to get it looking lovely again. Same with the toilet. Just looking grubby. The food was ok. Nothing special and we ordered sourdough with avocado and feta at £7.50 each. We got bread not sourdough and the thinnest layer of avocado with a crumble of feta. Dry and a bit unappetising. No longer selling my favourite flapjack which is such a great cyclists snack. All in all I think we will try and cycle elsewhere. I was just disappointed as was so excited to take my friend there on our cycle day out. I wonder if perhaps it has changed ownership but I won’t be in a rush to go back.

I was waiting for the London train yesterday (Monday 10th October). I had 8 minutes before the train was due. I ordered two hot drinks. One person was ahead of me and had ordered. After about 5 minutes It became obvious to me that they were still making drinks for people sitting in the cafe. But by the time I realised this, my train arrived and like a Couple of other people, including the person in front of me, had to leave and run for the train. I get that the drinks are done in order, but had II been told it takes 10 to 15 mins to get a drink obviously I wouldn't have ordered them. I feel cheated out of the £5.80 they took from me. I selected to messenger chat to them via their website whilst I was on the train. But as of this morning they haven't bothered to reply to my concern. If you are running a cafe that is obviously serving the public and rail travellers, it is beholden upon you to let people know there is a delay to making the drinks. I've used this cafe several times, but don't feel inclined to use again.

Slow service, bland coffee and overpriced (£6 for a bacon & brie toastie!), Coffee served in paper cups and toastie in a paper bag, despite eating in. To be fair, though, the toastie, whilst small and overpriced, was delicious.

So much prefer this style of lovely independent coffee shop rather than the chain of costas etc. The quality of both the food and drinks is top notch. Really nice craft coffee from local artisan coffee roasters in Stratford, which is so nice that they support other local businesses. Love the breakfast brunch and they have good vegan options too. Great atmosphere and vibes to sit inside or outside. Love that they are really environmentally friendly – wooden cutlery, paper straws, eco compostable coffee cups, even the mineral water is in recyclable aluminium cans rather than plastic bottles! I see in other reviews a couple of people have complained about some of the prices, but I find it reasonable and definitely think you get what you pay for and the quality of the ingredients, their steps to support local suppliers and their extra care towards the environment is worth it. Love it here!

Stopped off whilst changing trains at Dorridge station. You can't access the cafe from the platform, which makes picking something up quickly a bit of a nightmare. I understand the covid improvements a one way system can provide but that's not practical for a train station. A croissant and a rice crispy cake cost £5.40 and weren't that special.

This place is an absolute gem. I'm so thankful they've remained open throughout the whole of lockdown. Their vegan offerings have definitely improved over the past 6 months, meaning I can always treat myself rather than only when somethings available! Thanks guys, see you soon! xx

I called in at 3.45pm on 04/09/20. I was immediately rudely told off by the barista lady for coming in the ‘wrong way’ despite the fact that (from the platform) there is no access whatsoever - nor any sign telling you that. I was grudgingly given a coffee (£2.50!! in a polystyrene!!! cup) and then told I couldn’t even pay in cash. This must be the last cafe in England that insists on Visa card payments. I left feeling insulted. I shall never return, that’s for sure.

Can you believe a banana here costs 75p. Is this the most expensive banana in a cafe? Convenient location, glad of the facilities at the station but not value for money. Work 3 mins to Sainsbury's and get a banana for 25p.

Located at Dorridge train station, we got a drink here whilst waiting for the train. Very nice and relaxing inside and the staff were friendly.Ordered some drinks and snacks, which were ok. The only thing I would suggest is letting customers add their own amount of milk into theirs drinks as the tea we ordered had too much milk in it for our liking.

Coffee shop with an entrance straight off the platform at Dorridge train station making a very handy place to wait for a train or meet people. Coffee is good and the staff are friendly. They do a range of hot chiabatta sandwiches (just bacon is a solid one) along with the typical pastries you would expect. Not the cheapest coffee shop but on par with one of the big chains and definitely a much better quality of product and setting.

First time I’ve been here. The staff were very nice and it was lovely to see how they treated elderly customers, very kind and respectful. The food was a bit cold, the cheese on my bacon bap hadn’t melted at all as the bacon was cold. My husband’s breakfast was also a bit cold and table was sticky. However the food was good quality, just not hot enough.
