FAUN in Malvern Hills

Great coffee shop, good selection of quality drinks and cakes. Some food is available. Gets very busy at the weekend, drop ins are possible but if there's 4 or more of you it's worth booking a table/calling ahead.

Oh my days, if I was based in Malvern I would *live* in this place. Possibly the most me café/brunch stop I’ve ever visited. Came here on a first date. Serious brownie points to the guy for finding it 😃

Great quality fresh food and lovely staff. A firm favourite for lunch in Malvern!

Great experience in Faun today. Delicious smoked mackerel Pate & salad, followed by toasted banana bread, superb. The service was on point today too.

Loved it here. Really nice vibe, great bakes, nice food, lovely staff. Parking is a wee pain but if you can do the steps up from Waitrose you'll be fine. Recommend.

We stopped in for lunch while passing through Malvern, and I'm glad we did! We shared two of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever eaten (the roast beef, and the cheese toastie), and if we lived closer I think we'd be coming back regularly! The pastries also looked worth trying, but sadly I was too stuffed to contemplate any more food.

The first, of I hope many, wine tastings - interesting wines, great knowledge and delicious light bites. 10/10 would recommend

Always come here after a walk in the hills for a cuppa and cake, the bacon sandwich is also awesome 👌🏻

Great as always. No doubt best in Malvern. Easy to keep your bikes safe as cyclists.

Exquisite café not far from RHS amenities and the springs which are all well worth a visit

We didn't have any food this time, but what we saw going past the table looked/smelt divine. The bakery, equally looks delicious. Very good quality coffee! And the staff were very pleasant. Overall a very relaxed and pretty setting.

Our go to when in Malvern, absolutely love it. The pastries are top tier and the drinks selection is so good too. I recommend the dirty chai and the beetroot latte in particular. The best!

My second visit. Excellent food, particularly the Syrian turmeric cake, professional yet friendly service, and a great location with views to die for. Highly recommended.

We popped in last week for breakfast and were not disappointed. The grilled mushrooms on sour bread toast and crispy onions was delicious. Highly recommend 👌

Lovely place with a great selection. Would definitely visit again

Always a treat to come here for coffee, cake or brunch. Haven't yet tried the light lunches or the occasional special evening menus. The coffee is high quantity and well made. The cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious!

Great brunch spot. They have a bakery inside offering all the usual temptations, as well as seating inside and outside for a coffee or something more. I had the mushrooms on toast with their homemade beans - I really recommend! Even though it was very busy, the service was great and they also offer Gluten Free alternatives - perfect!

Lovely place for morning coffee although quite expensive.

I’m quite confident I’ve never in my life tasted pastries this good… It was absolutely unreal!

Service was good enough, thing that let it down was the food and drink. We had 2 sausage rolls, a coffee and a hot chocolate. The sausage rolls were not a whole sausage roll, but a slice, were very greasy, and HUGELY over priced, around 6 or 7 pound for a slice!! Coffee wasn't any better than any other coffee shop and the hot chocolate tasted like hot water and chocolate powder!

Too pricey for what we had. 2 slices of sausage roll and hot drinks.

Faun is a stunning place. The food is excellent, the coffee is superb however the service is lacking. We have been 3 times now, and it's been the same each time. The quality of the food and great location make up for the slow service but this place would be so much better if the staff payed a bit more attention to the customers.

Had a lovely time in Faun. Very nice coffee and cake. The custard tart was the best I have ever tasted

What a gem of a place! Great coffee, lovely staff and great sandwiches! Would highly recommend the Ploughman’s - the bacon jam was 👌👌

Nice little place to have a drink and a bite to eat, Excellent welcome.

Nice vegan almond croissant :) and flat white oat milk

We went in and gad a take way sandwich with coffee. We waited more than 30min for the sandwich and had to ask for it! Clearly they have forgotten about it as when we got the sandwich wrapped in foil was cold. Bread was soggy and overall not nice. Maybe it's a nice place but we didn't feel it was at all.

Incredible pastries, so fresh and clean tasting. A big selection ranging from very indulgent to unusual, healthier treats. Great coffee and attentive service.

One of many coffee shops in Malvern but this one is also a bakery, so its offerings are more of an in-house variety. Lots of lovely pastries to choose from and a nice selection of warm and cold meals. We had a lovely Latte, an Oat milk Latte, and an Organic Cola drink, to go with the Toasted Cheese sandwich, Sausage roll, Chocolate Brownie with thick cream and Chocolate praline and hazelnut Tart. We enjoyed everything about what we had, whilst sitting outside under the canopy.

Love love the egg custard tart. We stopped off in this lovely coffee shop on the way home. Highly recommended the coffee and food.

Dog friendly. I order my dogs sausage pattys and they love it. Also a great coffee shop if you work remotely.

Super nice food but, unfortunately, terrible service :-( We went for brunch and arrived around 11.45am on a Monday. We were seated in the back area. We waited ages for someone to come and take our order so I went to check if it was actually table service or if we needed to come to the front to order. Our waitress said she’d be with us in a minute. When she did finally come, no “Sorry for keeping you waiting” or anything! We ordered the veg Shashuka, the fried egg on sourdough with truffle oil and a side of the grilled mushrooms to share. The food was delicious however the waitress never came back to check if all was ok, if we needed anything else or to clear the plates at any point. There were other people sat at the back who had also been “forgotten” including a woman in a wheelchair. It was rubbish! I could see the waitress chatting with her colleagues in the meantime. I eventually went up to order a pastry as the waitress was still “too busy” chatting with her colleagues to. come and see if anyone wanted anything. This too took longer to arrive than it should have so I got up to get it! This was such a shame. I would suggest that either the waitress needs more training in “being a waitress” or just tell people it’s not actually table service and then expectations would be more realistic. So…, food is lovely but deffo don’t sit in the back area if you want table service!

Great spot for coffee and brunch

Just had a coffee -- which was OK. Nice to sit outside, though, in the sunshine.

I had a nice lunch here with a friend of mine. I ate the roasted chicken deli sandwich (and the staff were happy to let me swap out some ingredients!) and my friend ate the shakshouka. We both enjoyed what we ate and would recommend both dishes. The staff were pleasant and the interior is decorated so nicely - the outside eating area was a little unattractive but the summer weather made up for it! The drinks were a bit expensive and the strawberry shrub my friend ordered was very vingerary (we thought it tasted just like ketchup!)

Dog friendly coffee shop. I enjoyed the coffee (americano) and vanilla cruffin. You have many options including sourdough bakeries, cakes and tart. Nicely decorated interior brings you back in time... Friendly staff. Recommended.

Popped in for a tin sourdough and a Chai latte. Scrumptious as always.

Lovely bakery in Malvern! Superb pastries and breakfast options!

The best beans on toast I’ve ever had! On the first day of my two day trip I came here for a drink and a bit of cake. The lemon and raspberry cake was beautifully moist. For the second day we came back for lunch due to seeing the menu the day before. The beans on toast were lovely with beautiful smokey tomato flavour with a sweet vinegar and crispy onions. I got a sausage patty to go with them that was juicy and meaty. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere with a beautiful view from the hills. Would definitely go back for a third time!

End of a long walk and a Faun staff member comes out of the shop and offers us a free doughnut. It was your closing time, our tiredness, your random act of kindness….. thank you…. and, yes, the doughnut was awesome!!

I only went in for coffee but the bakery and food looks fantastic. A lovely buzzy place with a great sun terrace.

Brilliant! Was recommended here by my partner & have being meaning to go ever since. Such a fun vibrant place with an aesthetic perfect for a coffee & cake! The coffee - takeaway this time - was great tasting & not overly expensive. The cookie I also had was delicious well worth the money for the sweet treat! Will return for a bigger warm meal next time & hopefully it will live up to this now very high standard! Great effort.

Fantastic staff, great food, very friendly best bread ever, great place in every respect. No change the best in Worcestershire. Really superb!!!!

The best cheese toast. Double sided outside and melted cheese inside. Very decadent and 😋 The pastries are excellent and the bread too

Best cinnamon bun ever , fresh out the bakery 😋 served with a great coffee ☕️

We have been here a few times now and each time we have had a lovely experience. The staff are so accommodating especially for little ones (the high chairs are amazing!) and the food is delicious and served very quickly. Thank you 🤍

Good quality dishes , service excellent but quite overpriced for what you get .

Lovely independent cafe. Love the limited edition of banoffee flavoured cruffin!!

So we called in today for our 2nd visit because we enjoyed out first visit. Was disappointed today. We ordered and was told even though the closed at 3 ( Sunday) we could have food. My husband wasn’t impressed with his sausage roll and my flat white arrived in a plastic cup, I’d had a real cup for my coffee first time. Unfortunately, cups were cleared while we were still eating and we were told at 2.55 they’d be closing in 5 mins. Basically, was pricey and we had to rush to finish because it was closing time. Maybe orders shouldn’t be taken so close to closing?

Wonderful place, beautiful food

Exceptional food and good service at the simple supper last night

Great food staff are really nice too !

We visited Faun by chance after wanting to go to a coffee shop further along the road and wow it was a great decision! I went for the smoked salmon sourdough and it’s probably the best smoked salmon I’ve had at a restaurant. The cakes are also really nice as they’re a family run business and have them in fresh everyday. Definitely worth a trip if you’re hiking the Malvern Hills and want a pit stop on the way home.

Being looked after by our son and grandson. For breakfast and coffee ☕️ 😋 Amazing food and coffee ☕️ Thankyou so much.

Lovely atmosphere, the food and coffee were nice too. The menu has lots of choice and the cakes / fresh bread looked yummy although we didn’t buy any.

Wow, loved this place, GF options , Vegan and regular meat options too, soo three of us very happy.

The service was a bit slow, and my mum didn't get the bread that should have come with the smoked salmon she ordered, but I really enjoyed the coffee, and the shakshuka, and my mum enjoyed her smoked salmon. The pastries looked excellent, but I was too full to try one after the shakshuka - it was massive. I'd come here again.

Called in for a late lunch bite. Flat white was excellent. The food was ok. My wife had the beef sandwich was apparently was superb. My toasted cheese sandwich was a little underwhelming. Not that hot and I was expecting something with more crunch and texture. Could have been because the kitchen was soon to close. Place looks lovely and inviting with great decoration and style. Short stay parking on the road outside.

After listening to folks rave about this place I decided to take the plunge and try Faun out for breakfast. After reading the menu which makes everything sound lovely I ordered a full English and a hot chocolate, what turned up was frankly a bit of a disappointment it all looked very nice but for the money I wasn't very impressed a plate mainly full of mushrooms a very odd interpretation of baked beans and the rest was all very average also my "Venezuelan" hot chocolate was served in a plastic cup and was no better than something from Costa it was also half the size and double the cost of Costa. Can't say I'll be rushing back

Great coffee and lovey variety of sweet treats too!

Very nice and pleasant place to relax, drink coffee and eat. Recommend 🙂

Very nice spot for lunch, despite being very busy we were served very positively and seated within minutes, food and drinks were great and staff were polite 🙏

Been a regular here since they 1st opened. Feel bad I've not reviewed before but after being on the receiving end of exceptional service which made it a special day for my sons birthday today prompted me to review. The food is always delicious, the coffee they nail every time and owners and staff are super nice. There is a reason they are always so busy. Thank you xx

Everything was so good and the waiters are sweet and nice! Great place for a shop

Visited today for some lunch and coffee place look great but unfortunately food is bad had egg on toast with Bacon which was completely tasteless down to strange, oils or seeds don’t advertise the fact that you use in local produce, and then mask the taste Very over engineered egg on toast And overpriced

A bad start due to the 'welcome' received by the person behind the counter making coffees. The menu and food were nice, but the atmosphere was pretentious.

We visited after a walk in the Malvern Hills, and it was amazing! Beautiful coffee and 10/10 cinnamon buns. Would return if we were back here on holiday!

Lovely coffee shop with friendly staff, lush cakes and lovely views if you sit correctly.

Loved it! Food was delicious and excellently presented! Definitely going again even though it's a trek for us to get to. Amazing views and friendly staff too 👍

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday, and we're expecting great things having read the reviews. What a disappointment. As it was afternoon we wanted tea and cake, very limited choice of cakes. Tea selection was good, but was served in unattractive mugs! When I asked for a cup and saucer I was told they were all waiting to be washed up! On receipt of the bill which seemed rather high we were told the tip was included. The young lady serving us was very polite but may have tried harder to please had the tip not been included.There are other much nicer establishments locally serving tea and delicious cakes so we will not be returning

Great place to eat, really nice food, great atmosphere. Their menu is not too big really nice selection of food though, terrific pastries, wicked chai latte. Service had always been top notch. Popped down the road for a swig of Malvern spring water on way back t'car.

What a great find, walked past after our walk on the Malvern hills. Needed refreshments and a cake. Absolutely yummy. Not cheap but the quality was divine. A place not to forget and to revisit when in Great Malvern

Visited faun yesterday.. we drove from coventry after hearing good things.. didn't disappointed..the place was busy with a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious and a big portion. I had smoked salmon with creme fraiche, dill pickles and sourdough. My partner had a cheese toastie. Took a cruffin home which was amazing. Only negative was I like my coffee hotter. Definitely be back.

Lovely service. Great choice of food. Amazing cosy atmosphere to be with the view of beautiful panorama of nature. Highly recommending.

Super nice place to have breakfast or lunch, lovely atmosphere and friendly stuff. Food was amazing too

First time eating at Faun today. Reserved a table and had a lovely breakfast. Everything as it should be and tempted by the cakes and pastries on the way out too. Will be back again soon.

Most delicious bacon sandwich! Service was excellent.

Coffee was good, olives was astonishingly good. The meal was marvelous as well the 'Pain Perdu' was spot on. Shame I forgot to take a picture of it. Was beautifully presented as well.

Coffee and pastries superb. Service very slow.

Fabulous place to meet up with family post Christmas. Was so busy we had to stand and wait a while but was lovely cake and coffee. Cakes were rather large so maybe smaller and cheaper would be better for me.

Awesome food, coffee, service and ambience. Often very busy so patience is needed but definitely worth the wait.

We went as a group of 6. The waitresses were fantastic. Topnotch customer service. The coffee was excellent and the sausage sandwich was delicious. Faun is a little corner of food heaven. Highly recommend!

Me and my family live in Malvern and enjoy a coffee and sometimes a cake. We are made to feel welcome in most coffee shops but unfortunately I do feel that unless you are ordering food and drinks at Faun then you are made to feel like you are a bit of a nuisance and not really made to feel welcome. The food is overpriced for what it is.

Very regular customer, and I love it. Best thing for me, no matter the time or how busy, they never guilt you or make you feel bad for not booking, they always find a table swiftly. Plus food is delicious

Good food, excellent service and great atmosphere

Faun was the venue for a wreath making class I went to with my bestie. The team were really welcoming, the venue is absolutely gorgeous with big windows and lots of wood furniture. Faun provided drinks and unique mince pies for our workshop, all delicious. I’d never imagined an apple crumble topped mince pie, absolute genius

What a delightful place! Great food and friendly people.

The brunch menu was very appealing. The service was very good and the food was tasty. 24/11/23 - we had takeaway. Very busy shop but very delicious pastries and coffee.

Had what could possibly be the best Bacon sandwich I've ever had and my boy was impressed with his jam donut. Service was excellent, especially considering how busy they were. Will definitely be returning soon

We came to Faun every weekend in October- what a find! We have had lunch, coffee and cakes, and Friday dinner here. As a family of vegetarians, the menu was wonderful. The perfect place to go after a morning in the Malverns <3

Good food, quick and pleasant service. Not cheap though.

Beautiful food, good portion sizes, lovely decor. Fresh ingredients, worth the extra penny

We happened to find this wonderful place when looking for a dog friendly eatery. Dogs are definitely welcome outside. For a Sunday I was surprised how busy it was, the service was great and the staff were friendly. There's a good selection on the menu; I can recommend the pumpkin and celeriac veggie roll and Venezuelan hot chocolate.

Visiting Malvern and popped by this morning and the place was busy, a good busy. Good to see people supporting a local independent business . We got a coffea, an almond croissant and a cinnamon bun. I have to say it was the most amazing bun I've ever had. Crispy sweet outer layers and cinnamon infused soft inner dough. Will defo be coming back to try some more of the delicious pastries and the lunch menu.

Beautiful location with friendly prompt service, and delicious food and coffee. The decor is also warm and atmospheric.

Nice place for coffee. Good service, great cakes, idiosyncratic decor. Would definitely go back

Great place for a coffee stop. Lovely style, friendly staff, good coffee and tasty cakes.

Wonderful cafe with lovely coffee and food. Made fuss of our new puppies with treats too!

Popped into Faun (Bakery, Coffee Shop and Kitchen) in Great Malvern for a cinnamon bun and a cappuccino, both of which were excellent. There is plenty of seating indoors and out and it’s dog friendly.

Fantastic brunch. Everything made in-house with local produce. Has the shakshuka and a sausage & egg sandwich - both probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Good coffee and pastries also.
