Faded to Fabulous in Wyre Forest

This makes a pleasant change for the sterile chain coffee shops. It’s a mixture of tearoom, haberdashery shop and vintage items. They are licensed so you can have a wine, gin or beer with your light bites or cake. There are a few gluten free options too. They’re is a little “ante” room with sofa and toys, crayons for those with little children.

Had some delicious food, and a nice pot of tea. Got two cups each out of it and still more in the pot. Scone was very good, and had a generous serving of clotted cream and jam. The cafe doubles as a gift shop, giving it an interesting decor. Service was quick and very friendly. A little out of the way, but well worth finding.

Took my children here last week during half term and have to say it was AMAZING!! The unicorn milkshakes and hot chocolate were delicious! The staff were so nice and attentive, taking the time to speak with my children and make them feel welcome (that doesn’t happen in a lot of places). A really nice atmosphere and some lovely items for sale also. 100% recommend this place!

Here for an informal business lunch. Good range of reasonable priced meals. I had a fish finger sandwich, which was lovely. Place is deceptively large and has an upstairs too. Lots to look at inside. Would definitely recommend.

Booked a Proseco afternoon tea here today. When we arrived the table was laid ready for us complete with vintage crockery, cutlery , tablecloth and flowers. My lady friend and I were most impressed, even more so with the food and drink and hospitality. First Class, excellent. We will be back !!

We went without booking and had homemade soup, sandwiches and cake. Good service, food was well prepared. WC on g/f so easily accessible. A bit pricey compared to others locally but enjoyable. They sell vintage items. Tables a bit close together for servers to get around people had to move twice.

Lovely décor but absolutely freezing in there and really slow service. The food was great too so will probably return another time.

Called in for a quick lunch yesterday in the middle of shopping. Had the tomato soup - which was fantastic. A steaming bowl of deliciousness and lovely brown bread, which was very filling, so just the job to warm you up on a cold day. The décor is very eclectic, creating a cosy atmosphere. It was busy on a Friday, so you might have to wait a while at peak times.

Visited for my birthday treat 6.95 for bacon ciabatta and salad garnish with 5 crisps. When politely suggested the price was expensive and that I had worked in the hospitality business for many years I was told” well take your business elsewhere”. Very unprofessional. My one and only visit I’m afraid. Vintage tea shop without the old fashioned charm I’m afraid,

I popped into this little tea room whilst visiting Kidderminster for an appointment at the town hall. The staff were very pleasant and although I only had a snack and a hot chocolate, I found it to be a very pleasant experience and would certainly return. I was able to use the wifi of a bank close by and there was never any pressure to move on whilst doing so as you can get in some places.

There were lots of things wrong with our visit: - We finally received our drinks after 45 mins!! The waitress had to ask what we'd ordered again too (after us already waiting 40 mins): 'You did order drinks didn't you, what were they?' and her apology for our wait was forced. - After a long wait, our food was warm (not hot) and fairly mediocre. £6.10 for a toastie with a bit of packet salad and coleslaw is silly. - Crisps were missing from our order, which when I raised at the counter when paying (£17 for two lattes, a portion of quiche and a toastie) the lady was quite abrupt and rude. She snapped at my mum and her apology for forgetting the crisps was not genuine. It sounds trivial, but when you've waited almost an hour you'd hope you'd at least receive a complete order. - Neither waitress was particularly friendly or welcoming - we felt like an inconvenience. We'll definitely not be returning.

As soon as you enter the quirkiness hits you and your eyes are drawn to all the little nik naks everywhere, the menu was small but all home made and very nice indeed, a lot of care and attention is placed on this business, you can tell. The ladies were friendly and I liked that they didn;t cram loads of tables in, I never felt crowded by other diners, the only downside was I ordered a cheese sone and it was made with sweet scone mix and was disgusting and a waste of £3. I am a massive cheese scone fan and this really disappointed me, I had to throw it away, there was no cheese taste whatsoever. It wouldn't stop me coming here agin if I was in the area I would just choose differently

We were directed to this tea room by a stranger in the town centre. What a find it was excellent. We couldn't believe our luck!! We had breakfast - two poached eggs, two rashers, two tomatoes and two slices of toast. And all this for under a fiver!!! This was cooked on a 'George Foreman' type grill and was non greasy. The place was spotlessly clean and the staff were helpful. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

Theres a lot of Competition in the Town now so this fares as average nothing terrible but nothing fantastic either good location but no home made feel to the produce like in Cosy Coffee and Yester years etc more manufactured cakes and Ploughmans very expensive for the portion

100s of retro curiosities on display really friendly trendy vintage cafe/tearoom great hot chocolate, love it

Metimos en un café mientras compras con mi esposa, el personal fue muy atento y amable, terminamos un muffin con nuestras bebidas muy agradable fueron.

There were a lot of staff at the counter but it still took a while to get our order and it was wrong when we got it seemed like too many people trying to organise each other. Nice decor etc.

Really nice quirky decor and a good selection of cakes. My only criticism is that it took about 20 minutes to get served our drinks, and the cakes followed shortly after. The coffee and cake was perfectly nice and we would return.

I visited the tea room for the first time recently with my wife and thought it was great. I can't believe I haven't been here sooner.The place had a very quirky decor, the staff are all lovely and very attentive (plus there is plenty of them). There is a nice range of hot and cold food options as well as drinks and there is a little play room for the kids which is a nice touch.Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you a looking for somewhere central to town for either lunch or just a drink.

Me and my Mum visited here for a coffee and it was lovely. It is full of lovely quirky things. Staff very efficient, we will be back.

I was so glad to have stumbled across this lovely little tea room. I've visited it a couple of times now and each time it's been great. My kids love it too as there is lots to look at and there are toys to play with and books to read whilst you wait for the food.So nice to see a privately run tea room rather than another chain doing so well, I hope it continues as it a gem of a place!

What a lovely vintage tea room. It's really quirky with a great selection of food, drink and trinkets.The service was very attentive and the food was good quality.This is just the type of place that kidderminster needs more of

This is a great coffee shop. A beautifully decorated environment, delicious food and really friendly helpful staff. A real gem in Kidderminster.

Reasonably priced, good food and friendly staff. Even though its smallish in size you have adequate space between tables. As a mum with a young baby I can easily navigate round with the pram and don't feel like I'm intruding on other tables. Great and clean changing facilities. Overall highly recommend.

After a previous bad experience at an independent coffee house in Kidderminster, I was reluctant to try another one. However, I decided to try The Tea Room, Mon 20th Feb. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is nicely decorated and fitted out in the appearance of a country shop. Tables nicely spaced out and all nice and clean. Menu brought to our table by a pleasant young lady who returned a few minutes later to take our order. Coffees arrived five minutes later. Good menu with plenty of choice for sandwiches and snacks etc. All in all a nice experience, I will definitely return again.

Called in here by chance. A great find. Lovely staff, great choice of food and lovely decor. A great place for Kidderminster!

We were visiting the area and found ourselves with a small window to get birthday tea and cake Faded to Fabulous & the Tea Room was the nearest. We had a warm welcome nice tea and coffee and a scrumptious slice of carrot cake. They event gave my wife (the birthday girl) a complementary slice of cake. The Tea Room was clean and very well decorated. The service was excellent. If we were in the area we return for tea and cake again

lots of lovely food and cakes in this tea room, and the hot chocolate is delicious. The staff are hard working and attentive, and there are craft items to buy in the store. The food is affordable but more luxury then other tea rooms. Beautiful- must try this coffee shop if pottering around Kidderminster.

Have been here twice now for coffee and snacks; I absolutely adore the vintage decor and homely feel of the place. Both food and drinks are fantastic; the staff are lovely however my only gripe is service can be a little haphazard - our table was tucked away out of view and we ended up feeling a little forgotten about; my companion had been served and finished her meal before my food even came. Can get very busy but otherwise a wonderful little tea room.

Really lovely cakes and snacks. The tea room is so pretty, and has crafty bits available to buy too. When I visited, I had an amazing bakewell tart.fully recommend.

Enjoyable lunchtime snack and pot of tea. Disabled toilet easily accesible and clean. Some staff approachable and friendly!

I visited this cafe for the first time and I found it very delightful and has vintage furniture. The cafe is suited for all as it has access for wheel chair's plus pushchairs, as there is a ramp outside to get into cafe, also they have a mother & baby room so you can feed + change your baby. Downstairs has tables nicely spread out and plenty of room to enjoy your food + drink. Upstairs is comfortable + cosy as there are Sofa's and chairs there also plenty of room. Its situated in a suitable place in the town and is reasonably priced.I had a cappuccino and it was lovely, all the staff are friendly + nice to talk to.I found the cafe peaceful to relax in with your family & friends. I also found they sell beautiful gifts. Highly recommended.

The Tea Rooms at Faded to Fabulous is situated in Exchange Street,Kidderminster (the carpet town ) . The location is near to local amenities :Town Hall, Bus Station , Taxi Rank , Library, College and High Street Shops. I am studying English, I had to write a review for homework assignment. Friends from the course , our lovely tutor and I went to The Tea Rooms. At first I didn't wanted to go in just by judging from the outside. I am glad I went in I was totally blown away. I felt relax and it felt like I was at home. The lovely ladies who work there, were a great bunch , really friendly and chatty. Faded To Fabulous is also a vintage shop.They also offer Crochet Classes and Furniture Painting Classes.The facilities were clean and the service was prompt. I had a cappuccino it was lovely for only £1.90 a mug included a biscuit was worth well it. There is wheelchair access , A parent and baby room ,plenty of room. They also have seating outside. If you want a relaxing time to chill with friends and enjoy your drinks they have an upstairs room where you can chill on the cosy sofas. A truly lovely experience. I will be returning soon.

I went here for the first time with my mother in law. I'd had an awful day (just lost my job) and was feeling very upset. The tea, crumpets (real butter!) and sympathy was just what I needed. Still a bit emotional we ordered cake. Amazing Pineapple tart and fab caramel shortbread. When we went to pay, a member of staff (I think it was Laura) had seen how upset I was and settled our bill! How amazingly lovely! The prices are very good (about the same as a chain coffee shop but much better quality and nicer surroundings) Added interest from all the lovely NicNaks available to buy- looking forward to going again.

I have been here before with hubbie and kids, but not on my own. I just want to escape and get some work done for an hour, it was lovely to sit upstairs quietly and focus on what I was doing with a lovely gingerbread latte

I and a group of lady friends often have morning coffee together, have tried most of the cafes in & around Kidderminster. We were so pleased to recently find this unusual tea room with a touch of class in a town badly in need of independent businesses.It is delightfully furnished, I could have spent hours looking at the knick-knacks lovingly displayed and the crafty items on sale there.Friendly staff, delicious coffee - and toasted fruity bread with lashings of butter - will bring us back again & again!

Whenever I fancy a coffee in town,this is the place! Surrounded by an ever-changing layout of quirky furniture,furnishings and unusual hand-made gifts I know the prompt service of my favourite coffee seems to soothe the furrowed brow! I know the food is good, 'cause I've tried it!It's in a good position too being just next door to Barclays Bank.

This is a wonderful independent café, which Kidderminster so desperately needs. It is in a lovely old building with really comfortable surroundings and very welcoming staff. I had a brilliant cappuccino-proper coffee, not the tasteless stuff you often get, and lovely cheese on toast on seeded bread. I am now signed up to come to the crochet class on a Wednesday evening so am looking forward to coming back. I will definitely make it my café of choice on visits to Kidderminster town centre. Such a welcome change from cafe chains, which I aim to avoid at all costs. P.S. My husband loved it too!!! Next time we will try the cake which looked scrumptious!!

My friends had organised a "surprise" afternoon tea, friendly welcome, we were seated upstairs, the table was laid with beautiful vintage crockery. Lovely sandwiches which consisted of ham, tuna, salmon and egg mayonnaise. Tea was served in lovely teapots. Cakes and scones were also served, they all tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Lovely setting, downstairs there is also a small tea room which also sells vintage items which is worth a look too. Lovely afternoon - thank you,

So lovely that an independent coffee shop is seemingly doing well in kidderminster. Lovely surrounding and most importantly a lovely cup of tea, served by lovely staff.

What a fantastic place. I popped in this afternoon with two friends and my little boy. They come to the table to take your order which is nice,especially when you have a young child with you. I had a chicken mayo panini and it was probably the nicest I've had, the chicken was real chicken breast and so moist unlike most processed chicken you get at alot of places these days. The tea was served in proper tea cups and saucers. I didn't try the cake but they all looked lovely.I will definitely be back soon.

Cakes were lovely, as was the tea and coffee. Was very busy, even for a Monday, but would definitely go back again.

We went here recently with my elderly mother, who kindly offered to pay the bill. As we were leaving i could see my mother in discussion with the lady behind the counter. On arrival at the counter it was clear the staff member had made an error on the bill and was requesting more money, my mother who had just left the table clutching a £10 note which was now gone stated she had already paid and was actually owed change. It ended with us leaving feeling totally ripped off and out of pocket. Trying to fleece pensioners is wrong in my mind. Where an offer to check the till could have resolved it easily.

Fell in love with this place I had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and a toasted tea cake (homemade) my mom had a pot of tea and poached egg on toast my daughter had scrambled egg and apple juice, the food was out of this world and the attention to detail is amazing, Staff are so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. definitely recommend a visit

Unique boutique eaterie with art interest. Check out the Scotch eggs - the vegetarian ones are particularly tasty. Snacks, lunches, teas, they're all homemade and freshly prepared. Delicious. Friendly service. The ambience is wonderful - you could be in the Cotswolds. While we waited for our drinks and snacks we wandered around looking at the jewellery, pottery, sewn and painted originals for sale. Afterwards we spent some time enjoying the separate baby play room - suitable for 12 months or so upwards. Don't tell anyone about this place. Let's keep it our secret!

Today,we came across this lovely tea rooms. The staff were very friendly, the tea room was very and clean . It was like walking back in time, it reminded me so much of my nan house when I was a little girl. Food and drinks were reasonably priced , would recommend the coffee and walnut cake. Will definitely go back again.

We had a nice lunch today.... good freshly cooked food and a nice atmosphere. Nice to have an independent place to go in Kidderminster....fairly attentive staff plenty of choice on cool drinks too nice milkshakes too.....will definitely be back...although my wifes poached eggs were a little bit overdone the cake made up for it.

I visited with my one year old son. This new place was clean and has a lovely decor. I wonder how many non food products they will sell and whether they create more space for seating in the future.Staff were polite and friendly and interacted with my son. A good high chair was available. My sandwich was very tasty and well presented. I will definitely return. Places like this are so much better than the chains.

We were looking for a late lunch, or early afternoon tea, and found ourselves right outside this place.We chose a spot upstairs, tranquil with comfy sofas. The kids loved the decor, partner loved the peace, I enjoyed the magazines.The menu is not overwhelming, and there is a good selection - plenty of veggie options too. Son and I opted for a flatbread each, daughter had a panini. All were lovely. But we all felt a pang of envy when partner's ploughman' arrived. Massive board of bread, cheese, pickles etc, was absolutely gorgeous!

From the second I walked in I fell in love with absolutely everything! The shop/tea room is the perfect size as I was expecting a much smaller tea room as tea rooms are usually quite quaint. This tea room was perfect in so many ways, the staff were kind, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely gorgeous!!! I had the Brie, bacon and cranberry sauce croissant and I can't say I have ever tasted anything that good before! Mmmmm my mouth waters just remembering it! There are things everywhere, on walls, shelves the floor etc that you can browse and buy! I fell in love with a beautiful lit up picture on the wall and knew I had to have it!! I couldn't believe how well it was priced! Overall it is a beautiful tea room with fantastic decor and mouth watering food. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again.

I would honestly say what a wonderful place with a lovely atmosphere food and drink to an incredible high standard standing out from all other places in town

Popped in today with my daughter to explore the lovely gifts and enjoy a cup of tea. Relaxing setting with friendly staff, we really enjoyed our time there and hope to be back soon.

This place is a lovely place to have a coffee and catch up with a friend. it has a lovely, laid back, vintage atmosphere and they have some wonderful creative ideas! I especially love the bright orange cafe chairs!!!. Will definitely be keeping this as my place to meet friends and take my grandma for coffee!

It's so hard to find a nice café! But today I found this wonderful one. Faded to Fabulous & The Tea Room, is located in Kidderminster. What wonderful little find! Not only did we get a fantasic warm welcome but my children were welcomed too. Plenty of space to get the pushchair in. There is even a dedicated baby room where you can feed and change your little ones. My little one loved the toys and didn't want to leave. The food and drink was delicious and all really reasonably priced. Not only is it a cafe but it is a vintage shop and they sell some beautiful goodies and chalk paint. Upstairs they have a lounge and craft room. We will definitely be back.

I support adults with learning disabilities finding some where that's home from home to enjoy a relaxing tea and cake is hard. So whilst on support I come across this lovely tea room so we decided to go in, we both had the wow factor the second we walked in, we were made to feel extremely welcome from the word go. We order two teas and cake, again I'm currently supporting so price is a massive factor as we have to stick to budgets, this place was homely, welcoming, in budget!! And absolutely bang on. Would totally recommend to anyone! So if you haven't tired this place it's something you need to do Kidderminster has totally been lacking something like this! And now we have it! Keep up good work Vera and Laura. Will be back!

What can I say but Laura and Vera have done it again with the new premises in the town centre on the side of Barclays bank and opposite the Town Hall.The awesome transformation inside is out of this world. So much space, so many rooms (mother and baby), (gentleman room), (lounge) cafe and shop. The colours exuberate throughout the place with two craft rooms upstairs. The food is sublime and so deliciously tasty as always.Vera and Laura have done an outstanding job and work so very hard getting the new place up and running.You must go and see it for yourself.Not to be missed.Congrats my lovelies.

Our first visit to this lovely new tea room in Exchange st and is definitely on our list for a return visit.the friendly staff Cosy vintage feel and excellent food is a credit to the owners.Would recommend anyone coming to Kidderminster to visit the tea room, you won't be disappointed.

Very ordinary big standard fare but very expensive. Lots of nicer and better value places nearby. Definite delusions of grandeur and off putting.

Great service and beautiful food. Lovely decor with up cycled furniture & wonderful gifts.Friendly and welcoming staff to cater to your needs.

This is a lovely little tea room, I popped in on the off chance while walking back from the train station which it is near on opposite.As soon as you walk in you get a sense on the vintage character of the place, welcomed in by the friendly staff which turns out to be a mother and daughter team who are very friendly and helpful. I ended up having lunch there which was very nice with great presentation, so treated myself to some of their home made cakes which were just too tempting. While you sit there, there is such a great ambiance about the place as it is also a vintage type furniture shop too, which you spend more time looking over it as near on everything is for sale, so it is hard not to come out there with a purchase. So I came out with china tea set for me Nan.To sum up, this place is far superior than your regular coffee shop / tea room and I highly recommend you pop in for lunch, if not go in for coffee, or just have a look round the fantastic items of furniture and unique good for sale. You can even buy paint there to make your own distressed look of furniture, but if you don’t know how I saw that there are classes taught there to show you.The staff there are more than helpful to assist you with any of your needs.Enjoy, and support your local independent shops in Kidderminster.

I was first taken to this coffee shop by a lad I was looking after with autism. He couldn't stop telling everyone how much he liked going there for a drink and a chat and to sit and do this crafts, it is so nice to be in such nice company made us all feel so welcome its a real gem. I will be back soon to sample more delicious home made treats

We have been here several times for sandwiches, and cakes and we love it. The food is always fresh and tasty and beautifully presented and the cakes are the best. Make sure you visit soon.

My girlfriend and I popped into this interesting shop on our way back to the car from shopping. Little did we know that this hidden gem was also a coffee house and restaurant. Laura and vee (the owners) where very polite and welcoming and the coffee served was pretty dam good even so we both had a second as well as a cheese bacon cranberry and brie panini which was pretty stunning and only £4.50. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone also with the added bonus of some fantastic furniture and some real great curiosities. Will definitely be going back the next time we find ourselves in Kidderminster

At last more quality on the "Hill",great place, very friendly service. Some of the best light meals in the town, a real find!

A wonderful little gem of a place that is bringing charm and quality to Comberton Hill at last.Great food, lovely drinks, great ambience and such charming owners that you'd ever like to meet.Great to browse throw the vintage items, pick up some ideas, craft paints, and wonderful little trinkets...highly recommended for a visit....

This is a lovely relaxing place to sip coffee with friends and browse all the vintage treasures, while munching excellent cake. Vera and Co are great hosts and have created a super cafe and place to learn handicrafts.

Have visited this little gem of a shop a few times now. So much choice of items including shabby chic furniture that can be done in an array of colours to suit your home.The cafe is fabulous too, the drinks and food is delicious as you wont be disappointed at all, handy for a quick coffee and cake or a soup and sandwich for lunch, even a quick eggs on toast for breakfast.Laura and Vera are lovely who own the buisness and will help you with answers to your crocheting or sewing needs. I also bought some homemade bunting that was made to order which looked fantastic for a birthday.You must go in and have a look around, not to be missed as you will find a right bargain.
