Liar Liar in Shropshire

Went for the first secret diner club evening that is run by Jess who owns the fab 'not today seitan' in liar liar..what can i say?.the food was on another level. Litrally the best vegan food in Oswestry and way surpasses anything else available in a vegan cafe in Oswestry. The food was beautifully presented, the flavours were amazing and the cocktails were beautiful too. Really hope the owner decides to run these evenings on a regular basis although once word gets around i imagine getting a table will be really difficult. Its great to see a vibrant young business do so well and honestly the co trading with Liar liar is such a brilliant idea. Two amazing businesses running side by side. I cannot recommend this highly enough, the best vegan resturant/cafe in town by far

Lovely atmosphere, great ambiance, and really good coffee....indeed one of the best filter coffees I have ever had. Friendly service too. Highly recommended

A super-nice daytime cafe that I absolutely love! Great changing varieties of coffee and amazingly lush and creamy iced latte and milkshakes! The cakes are also very tasty, great outdoors seating and comfy interiors for days with lousy weather! CAUTION: This establishment is operating only in the daytime. The restaurant that operates evenings is run by different people and by my experience is lacking in professionalism on all fronts.

My wife and I have just moved to the area and have been told Liar Liar is the best coffee in town. As a coffee snob I like to think I know a little about it! The guy behind the counter had his friendly dial turned up to about 20%. There was a choice of 2 types of coffee, Brazilian and an African one. I was offered a taste of one. It came in a shot glass and was very light. It looked like black tea. The taste was ok, but very light and quite distinct. My espresso was similarly light and a bit of a chore to drink. I like my coffee thick, dark and very concentrated. Liar Liar is the opposite end of this scale. I won’t be hurrying back which won’t bother them… there were plenty of regulars, who seemed to like the coffee!

I decided to purchase a take away coffee before the walk to the bus station and thought I support an independent coffee shop , I couldn’t see the prices displayed on the black board but may be just missed them . I was changed £3.20 for a take away latte which I thought was rather an expensive treat . I will shop around next time and purchase somewhere else .

Best coffee shop ive ever been too. friendly staff chatted to us quite a lot and even recommended us a couple of pubs. really good .

Brilliant coffee with a buzzing atmosphere! Staff were also super friendly, was served by Phoebe and she couldn’t have been more helpful! Highly recommend!

It was lovely from start to finish, couldn't recommend how lovely the staff and atmosphere was. Food was amazing too as well as amazing coffee!!

I'm a barista myself and unfortunately the coffee here is far too burnt and bitter to be palatable to drink black (as I like it). Staff uninterested in receiving what at the time, wasn't worded as a complaint. However nice atmosphere, quirky interior. Staff could be better although everyone I came across was lovely, customer sat on the table next to me commented the same. Recent reviews appear to show a decline in quality lately, sorry to hear

We visited today for a coffee abs a bite to eat. We found a table and tried to order our food on the app thing they have installed, we had however chosen of the paper menu the two menus did not tally at all so we went back downstairs to order. The coffee was absolutely beautiful. We waited for our food and waited and then a waitress came up and was wiping tables. I asked if I could have another coffee she said go downstairs and order it. Drank that coffee still no food. Then food was brought but was not what we ordered but we said we would have the wrong item. I asked for some sauces. We waited and waited and then I went downstairs again and the two members of staff were mulling over the bills to see where the order had gone wrong. I asked if we had been given someone else’s meal and I was told to go and sit down they were sorting it. Such a lovely little place sadly today shame that today service was not good at all. All in all we were there an hour and a half. Most of that waiting

It's clear that covid and new branding has affected our favourite holiday coffee shop. Gone has the personality and charm, new poorly trained staff can barely make a coffee (everyone needs to learn so we didn't say anything) and now trying too hard to be a bit too trendy and failing. Bring back the old Liar Liar, and bring back Thomas who always used to look after us so well or at least train your staff and keep things as good as they were instead of riding on the hard work Tom has put in to make his shop excellent

the entire shop is beautiful and staff are lovely, theres a huge selection of coffes, milkshakes and cold bevs. will be coming back soon :)

After visiting this cafe again, I am certainly not disappointed. The coffee was wonderful as ever, and I really enjoyed their brunch menu! Overall I cannot fault this place, and can't wait to visit again soon.

The first thing I realised when walking into Liar Liar was the amount of coffee grinders! They have different blends on offer - I decided to try Trust the Process. It was unique and tasty, I really loved being able to choose my blend. Stay were warm, funny and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!!

What a lovely experience we had at this dog friendly cafe! The coffee was to die for and the staff lovely as ever! Thank you Liar Liar x

Lovely service with very friendly staff and a great atmosphere, always a great place to sit with friends for a coffee

Went with friends and the food and coffee was excellent we will be back brilliant service and lovely people

Food was amazing, and was served very quickly. Staff were very friendly and helpful when serving us our coffees which were fantastic! Overall amazing place with a great energy!

Went for lunch with my mum just the two of us was very relaxing great atmosphere and good food, will come again. :)

Ordered morning glory. Not even half an avocado on a full bagel. Loaded chips uncooked and hard. No sweetner for hot drinks.

The initial service was poor but we were patient as we could tell the server was new or training. The food was very poor in terms of its content and not reflective of the price. The fries were sent back as they were raw and...

Cute cafe, lovely coffees, tasty brunch foods and charming staff. So happy we found this place on our day trip. Highly recommended.

Oswestry seems to have an abundance of coffee shops but not many of them can make a good cappuccino. Liar liar gets it right.

I honestly feel as though I’ve been waiting all my life to find coffee like this in such a small town! Wow. And with a warm and welcoming team, and an incredible venue, what more could you want?!

Absolutely fabulous food. Have you been? I definitely recommend it!! Such friendly service and mouth watering food. All morning I was looking forward to my breakfast/lunch!!

Daughter and I popped in for a brunch snack and we both agreed that our food was absolutely delicious! The staff are so friendly and the menu choice is just right. I had mushrooms fried in garlic on top of cream cheese bagels with rocket....

Great coffee, lovely atmosphere and cake is great as well.A good place to while away an hour. Cafe dog is cute as well! Highly recommend.

Just called in for drinks and snack one recent lunch time. Food good, but not quite our taste (but that's us!) 2 dogs no trouble, even treats for them. Would use again when next in Oswestry.

This is the second time I have visited here for breakfast and a coffee and it didn't disappoint. Food was great and service was swift. Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area.

A great coffee shop in Oswestry with delicious coffee, milkshakes and everything else. Would definitely recommend.

With friends we popped in for lunch and each chose a different panini from the long list of alternatives, each priced under £5. The chicken and bacon pesto and the chorizo and goat cheese panini's were particularly good. The blueberry and ginger smoothie was also very good at a reasonable £3.60.

It's so sick. I literally don't get take out coffee anywhere else and always take a round when I go to my barbers, who can instantly tell the difference between the quick coffee places and Liar Liar's. The coffee they bring in super tasty, really crisp and so refreshing. I'd 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a quick cup, whether you're looking to bounce or sit in, it's unreal. My other half swears by their tumeric latte and always compares theirs to any others she drinks, but i'm more of a short black kinda guy (not in appearance tho). Super nice staff, always looking to engage with their community, and it's a pleasure to spend money on such a well deserved independant business.

Forget Costa this Independent coffee shop has the best flavour coffee - fantastic beans and service with a smile:)

Found this place on TA. Glad I'd done my research as few quality looking options for lunch. Liar Liar had a long list of interesting panini options, and our selections were served promptly and were well cooked (often a challenge for panini makers, we find!).

Having a look round town and spontaneous stop for coffee here. Excellent coffee, good cakes, friendly staff and dogs allowed downstairs, what more could you want?

Great coffee again! Wales is punching well above its weight coffee wise. Coffee lovers it’s a must....

As I saw the cycling pattern on the coffee, I knew I had to try this place! Nice paninis, and the coffees not only looked great but tasted it too! Will be back on next visit to Gobowen 🚴🏽‍♂️☕️🔩⚙️🦶🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

We stumbled across Liar-Liar on our first day in town and it was a real find. Really interesting décor and served a fantastic selection of home made food as well as great coffee and hot chocolate. The latter deserves mention as it was not the typical over-sweet beverage served in many establishments.

Lovely little independant coffee bar with additional seating upstairs. A few outside tables to watch the local market scene, a must after a bit of shopping.

had a coffee and lunch today which was very nice and tasted homemade had their cake last time which was equally good

Great little cafe on a corner in town with various seating arrangements. Seating downstairs and also upstairs overlooking the street. Quirky decor which is trendy and tasteful - A modern upcycling look. The coffee is exceptional and the food is fresh and tasty. Easily the best cafe in town.

I am so proud of this little coffee shop, they seem to have gone from strength to strength since opening. The staff are lovely, the coffee is faultless and the food/cakes are amazing and varied. You can even bring your dog in to sit downstairs, which means there is usually a cute dog to look at whilst you drink your coffee. They do a loyalty card as well which gets you a free coffee for every so many you buy. I’m hoping they will open Sunday’s again soon as I loved popping in for a Sunday coffee. Good job, guys!

Had the all day brunch tosdata, not sure what that means but it was very tasty. Scrambled cooked breakfast with peppers in some sort of pancake. Very tasty and freshly cooked. Won’t hesitate to go again. Almost did not go in because I thought it was a vegan place and I wanted meat!

Popped onto Liar Liar this morning while waiting for car to be serviced. I chose the cafe because I saw they cater to vegan diets. Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Cappuccino a bit on the small side, but otherwise enjoyable (with oat milk). Will definitely return.

Lovely little coffee shop. Great coffee, food looked good but didn't partake. Friendly staff too. Great place to chat and relax.

Lovely staff, excellent coffee and a good selection of delicious cakes. So much nicer to visit somewhere like this rather than the large chain coffee shop in Oswestry, and the coffee is in a different league!

Pancakes are very delicious, fluffy and warm! The drinks are also great quality and the service was amazing! Everyone is very nice and it has a warm and kind ambience- though the wifi password is not visible

Visited here the other day for a bite to eat on my lunch break, don't think i'll be returning in a hurry... I ordered just a panini and sat down to wait for my food. 40 minutes later and my sandwich finally arrived, with no apology for the delay. I ordered the chicken, avocado and tapenade panini, however, all I could taste was the burnt margarine that had been spread on the outside of the bread. Considering they had the best part of an hour to prepare this I was less than impressed. Normally I would have brought this issue up with the staff there and then, but I had just 10 minutes to be back at work so I didn't have time to wait for another lunch to be made. This was a disappointing visit as I have heard such good things about Liar Liar. On a positive note the environment was cosy and the staff were friendly.

Me and my Mum called in to Liar Liar for lunch. We each had a panini (mushroom x halloumi and chorizo x goats cheese x peppers) which were both great. There were many veggie/vegan options to choose from. The coffee is excellent and diary-free milk alternatives are available (I had a oat milk cappuccino). The service was also very friendly and the staff were really accommodating. Would definitely return if we're ever in Oswestry again!

I’ve heard such great things about Liar Liar from both friends and family that I just had to go even though it’s been open for a while. As a vegetarian I’m always looking for a good place to eat that’s not just run of the mill and in some respects this is it. The atmosphere is great , there is a rustic charm to the seating and decor and the staff are kind and helpful. We had a Hipster and a peach and Brie ciabatta with two teas and it was about £15. That’s not beyond the norm really and although the food was delicious the portions were quite small. Salad garnish was extra !! I’m not sure I would run to come back. I was expecting more of a vegetarian choice too but again I was a little disappointed.

The best coffee we’ve had in a while! This quirky little coffee shop had a great,

Wow, the coffee here is amazing, all ethically sourced and a really cool vibe. Best name ever for a coffee shop too. Most importantly for me is they have several vegan options both savoury and sweet and even sell delicious vegan chocolates and chai.

The best coffee in town - love the berry flapjacks - and lunch options are delish too ☕️ . A great menu - creative food . Easy friendly ambience. What’s not to like ?

Stopped in Oswestry on way home and stumbled across this delightful cafe. Serves great, unusual, Paninis and fab coffee. A great little find

I visited with my son and a close friend of mine. We had cake and a drink. The food and drink were tasty but small portions for the price. The cafe seating area itself lacked any soft cushions but consisted of plain wooden tables and bench seating.

Met friends for coffee. The service was very friendly and happy despite being a very busy Saturday market day.

I really prefer the new chef and menu. Delighted you can now add chicken to some dishes, I hope they expand on that. It's by far the best coffee and food outlet of it's type in Oswestry.

They try hard to source their supplies locally. Their furniture was made by local builders who recycled different materials. (See photograph) There is a good variety of choice from the menu to cater for gluten free to vegetarian diets.

This place deserves its excellent reviews. Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent coffee relaxed ambience, central location and interesting decor.

We had this revommended to us by Ginger andCo in Shrewsbury. So glad we found it. We had breakfast there....fab porridge with fuit, granola and honey....plus coffee. Do not miss this place in Oswestry. The lunch menu looked good too. Really quirky furniture...great staff too. It is a must. Will visit again when in Oswestry.

Thank you so much to the staff at Liar Liar for such a lovely meal on Thursday.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and we came across this lovely place.

Love this place the staff are very friendly especially Tom and Jess. The drinks are lovely I had a latte but have had tea here before too. Come with my 2 kids and husband so we ordered some cake to keep the kids happy! Ordered a white chocolate Blondie which was delicious. As it was mothers day when we walked in I was given a flower tied with ribbon which I thought was a lovely touch and not something you would get from one of the chain coffee shops!

I have been to Liar Liar many times and I went for lunch with my nieces at the weekend. I have found the food has improved in the last couple of months.

Liar Liar has amazing vegetarian food, great coffee and a lovely atmosphere. We had some of the street food menu and a chickpea burger and everything was delicious. Having water freely available for customer is also a great touch. Highly recommend this place. The staff are friendly and it's just a lovely place to go.

Just checked in to finally write a review about this absolutely wonderful place. I first came here not too long after they had opened with my friend Hazel and have never looked back. These guys are the most welcoming and friendly people. They are so willing to chat to you and if need be I’m pretty sure you could spend your whole day telling them what’s going on in your life and in your head and they would listen to you. Moving on to what they sell. Everything is so well thought out. You’ve never had a coffee made with as much love as this. When you compare it to other places, that throw burnt milk into a cup and call it a latte...suddenly it becomes all about density of the milk, the perfect temperature, and the art of coffee. Not just this but they sell incredible tea, juices, smoothies..my favourite is the blueberry and ginger. The food is fantastic, and so fresh. I love that they don’t promote sugar. If you make a coffee correctly, it’s sweet enough and I have never needed sugar when having a drink here. I’ve just seen a low scoring review about this business and can honestly say that those comments should be rendered invalid. To contaminate a local small business of an owner who has worked so hard with branding and gaining a high reputation to then be cross branded with Costa in his own coffee shop is unacceptable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else when in Oswestry and this is my absolute favourite. Thank you for gracing Shropshire with Liar Liar!

I visited this cafe on a recommendation from a friend. It was a cold Monday morning, I found a unique coffee shop with plenty of character, helpful staff and delicious food and cake. My friend had some delicious soup. Definantly a place to visit. Far superior to any high street brand of coffee and cheaper!

Been coming here on and off with my gf for about a year now. Great service, great food & fantastic coffee. Great time to be had all round.

Love the coffee here much better than Costa. I normally have to have caramel in mine as have a sweet tooth but the coffee I had was lovely and smooth and didn't need any sugar or syrup.

We've visited Liar Liar several times since it opened. It never disappoints!

Excellent coffee. Knowledgeable friendly staff and great atmosphere. In my opinion oswestry's only coffee shop!

A quick stop in Oswestry meant limited time for lunch, based on trip advisor reviews we gave it a try for brunch. A* for everything, food amazing, staff polite and helpful, great quirky environment.. Reminds me of my favourite Shrewsbury cafe, the birds nest.

I've popped in twice now - once with my partner for a coffee and again with my Mum for lunch.

Coffee is so good we now by our coffee beans their, good choice of home made cakes, also great choice of veggie food for lunch Best coffee in town so well worth a visit

Drank coffee and ate. Went here after a recommendation from a friend who is a bit of a “coffee nut” and we weren’t disappointed. Plenty of scope for adaption and improvements and I look forward to enjoying this place again and again. A reason to visit Oswestry all on its own.

Visit liar liar often. 1st time with there new food offers. I had poached eggs on toast was absolutly delicious. If you want fantastic drinks and delicious cakes and food head to liar liar. Plus all the staff are amazing I requested what i call the wizards hat and they delivered. My go to place in oswestry. Keep up the good work team liar liar

Stopped here en route to friends in Llanidloes. Wow! Great coffee and delicious vegan veggie food! So much choice! Food tasty, lots of choice, hot and freshly cooked. The fries were so good. We saw a great house to buy so you guys might be seeing more of us! Also loved the choice of music and just the right volume.

Love it, great little coffee shop in Oswestry, lush coffee and great bites to eat too. I also bought a great little teapot during my visit. If back in the area again, will be sure to pop in for a coffee and nibble. Stay great guys. Love your social activity too, will be sure to keep following. Highly recommended.

A small but centrally located coffee shop. We only had a coffee but they had some nice looking cakes and serve other light snacks. Very pleasant and welcoming staff.

Second visit today and amazing food again. Jamaican spiced corn and sweet potato and coconut soup for me, and cheese on toast (off menu) for the 4 year old. Unfortunately no high chair obvious for the baby.

Love this little coffee shop... my coffee is always served with a smile; the staff are so friendly. I moved to Oswestry a few years ago and worried I wouldn’t get a good coffee but this place was my saviour. Whether I pop in for a takeaway or sit for hours on my laptop I always have a positive experience. Keep up the ace work guys :)

coffee was ok but have had better not comfortable place to sit, lady came in with dog and sat next to us putting her dog on her knee next to us

After reading some reviews i was looking forward to visiting this coffee shop. My biggest problem was that this coffee shop was not clean. I appreciate that it was not meant to be modern and sleek and there are many coffee shops now that have an 'old' and 'recycled' look. Liar Liar had very interesting tables and stools which were most attractive. That was not the issue. The place was filthy and the staff were not vaguely interested in serving customers. The cake we had was reasonable, and the coffee acceptable. I would not visit again.

I am not veggie or vegan but have been wanting to try this place for a while as the menu seemed very inventive, fresh and wholesome. I dined with a friend this week for a lunch and we were not disappointed and can't wait to return! The falafel burgers were delicious, cooked to order and we did not have to wait long ( I see folks are moaning on here about such issues.. very sad.. it's not a fast food joint) for our food. We had a side of homemade chips which were crisp and hot. The homemade lemonade was wonderful!! No room for a pud so that means I will have to return soon as the cakes looked amazing!! Lunch for 2 of us was £20.. a bargain for the taste and quality! Try it.. you will not be disappointed!

Have been to Liar Liar on a few occasions now and everytime they have been superb!

Lovely coffee, good sandwiches and boxes of lunchy things - fresh, interesting and well put together. Interesting old building.

Finally managed to get a table here (last one even on a Monday!) as it is always busy. I have had to make do with take aways before. This time I tried a lunch dish on top of the superb coffee and cake. Everything was really fresh and delicious. It is great to have a vegan/veggie eatery in the town and a welcome addition to the excellent coffee shops already in Oswestry This however is one of the best and already I am looking forward to returning.

Being a barista, I love a good coffee, and this place certainly delivers! It's the only place in Oswestry that always has customers queuing! Staff are very nice and chatty.

I'm a regular visitor simply because the staff and even the customers are all so friendly!

Went in today for lunch and waited over 30 mins and nothing came. Other couples who came in after us were served quickly. We complained and asked for a refund. Refunded.

Love coffee? Don't miss this, it won't disappoint Want to know how the best coffee can taste? Come here, it will educate you Don't like coffee? Don't make the decision until you taste proper coffee. You won't do better!

Been visiting from when it first opened to when ever I'm back in the area because the friendly, generous and welcoming staff just sell the best coffee about. Knowledge and enthusiasm for a good brew, bean and flavour is evident. Great food to accompany a great cup.

Great vegan food with wonderful pancakes and the best coffee I've had in ages. Most of the staff were friendly, although the guy who served me was a little unenthusiastic.

Honestly this place is awesome. Super knowledgeable staff in a fantastic inviting space. Both the coffees and teas are delicious served beautifully. Cakes are amaze! Even managed to make my super fussy daughter a real fruit milkshake that she actually drank! Gorgeous place!

Well if you need a coffee this is the place to go, not many places can offer such a superb service and understanding what coffee culture is about. Tom and his staff must be highly commended some fantastic snacks are also available, try it you won't be disappointed.

Love this gaff. Great coffee, beautiful pancakes and fantastic breakfasts. Great for children or coffee with friends.

Great coffee and food,pancakes are amazing,and the soups are always tasty,for me the meal choices are a bit too out there but that's only because I'm not vegan but there is always something to try.the staff are really friendly and keen to help.it is one of the better independents in town.

I've been visiting Liar Liar now since it opened and so it's about time I wrote this review. In short the coffee is fantastic. Having last year visited the Far East plus the likes of Melbourne and Sydney my fiancé and I hadn't had coffee like it and didn't think we'd be able to get anything nearly as good back home, since we never had in the past. Then Liar Liar opened and lo and behold fantastic coffee exists right in the town where I work :-). Regular visits from myself and the both of us when we're in town on the weekend, is testament to the quality coffee house/cafe that Tom and the team run. I hasten to add here that the service is always first class, a pleasant team who provide service with a smile. This review is namely for the benefit of others looking for exceptional coffee and great food at a good price, since Tom and the team know how much we like the place with the regular visits.

Great service, people here seem to really care about the coffee and food. Had a beautiful iced latte.

My friend and I recently went for lunch. Although neither of us are vegan, it was nice to try something different. The coffee is delicious. I feel I made the wrong choice by ordering soup as although the menu said it was drizzled with oil and that the bread was sprinkled with salt, it was too much, for my taste. It has not put me off and I will return and choose more wisely. A few more staff are needed to keep clear the tables, especially upstairs.
