Nan's Cafe Bar in Shropshire

Superb cafe. Fantastic freshly cooked breakfast made to order. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Found this place driving by. Looked quaint and clean and on the quiet side, which was superb for my son who struggles with noise. I sat in first waiting for our car to be parked. When my family came in the chef/owner I assume. Grabbed my pram with my daughter in and asked us to swap sides. She had already decided where we would be sitting which I found super odd for a small cafe with 1 customer in . Then we quickly realised that if you arnt a local it's league of gentleman and there's nothing for you here !!! Hash brown was the size of a thumb. Mushrooms very greasy but the rest was reasonable. We were not treated with friendly chat like the locals. When she cleared the table my partner thanked her and was completely blanked everyone . She then overcharged me by 7 pounds didn't show me the card reader or give me a balance just clicked away on her till and held out a reader for my payment. Was very condescending when it shown as failed on her reader to which I assured her it wasn't my side and it did indeed go through. 2 old dears came in to eat and the polite young server they asked if they could share a toastie as she didn't feel so hungry the woman came out and spoke to them like children and said are you buying a cake they said no and one didn't feel so well. She said because your regulars just this once the fact the server said to them ill have to check if your allowed to share we were absolutely flabbergasted. Surprised she didn't shout at me and my fella swapping food on our plates. Rip off rude and wouldn't send my NAN there ! Avoid .

Our track record tells us we find the best cafe in the area for breakfast on our last day of a break away, but a short break in the rural area of shropshire saw us reverse this trend. On the first morning of our short break, the usual flick through Google's and Trip Advisor's 'dog friendly cafes near me' returns and we were off to Nan's Cafe Bar. Dog friendly is a bit of an understatement, at one point I was wondering whether we'd get Bob (the dog) out of there; they made such a fuss of him, not to mention the gravy bones he was given (on top of usual tit bits from us. So full marks on the dog friendly, with all dogs getting a bit of the Bob treatment as they arrived; but what about the human interaction and of course the food. Despite the hidden warning that they were busy, 'Take a seat, everyone's arrived at once', front of house was soon there with Bob's treats and to take our orders. The food didn't disappoint, very tasty sausage, bacon and black pudding, and my favourite tomato option of tinned plum tomatoes (I have a thing about 'grilled tomatoes' that have never been introduced to a grill that are a lot nearer 'raw' than 'grilled'); perhaps a touch on the greasy side, but its a full English and no grease would just be wrong wrong wrong. But it was the atmosphere thatt stayed with me, friendly chat and banter with locals and visitors alike; just a nice place to be! I can't vouch for the 'Bar' element of the name, nor any further further breakfast experience, as that was our one and only visit. On checking what time they closed (Sunday) so I could make sure I got back later to sample the magnificent looking home made cake available on the counter; I was dismayed not only would they close before I was going to be in need of more sustenance due to the hugeness of the breakfast I ate, but the deeply saddening news that they don't open Mondays or Tuesdays. Yep, you guessed it, we went home Tuesday. I'm intrigued to know what goes on of an evening if it becomes a Bar, but one thing that is for certain is that should I be in the area again, I'll be in the cafe bar again.

Popped in for lunch. Excellent service from a really nice lunchtime menu, with the breakfast menu still being served. Quick turnaround in a really clean cafe, and very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Very friendly, excellent choice on menus- homemade cakes, all day breakfasts, sandwiches, toasties etc. good service inside & outdoor seating

Came to shifnal for a couple of hours while partner on business. There's currently no benches to sit on in the street as there's lots of roadworks etc, so came in to escape all the noise! Glad I did! I had a piece of Victoria sponge cake which was delicious, and an oreo milkshake, the ladies who served me are nice and friendly. The whole place has a nice friendly local / community feel to it. If you're just visiting for the day, go on pop in and try the amazing cake!

Stopped for breakfast whilst staying locally for a couple of days. Food was good and reasonably priced - breakfast for two and coffee around £20.

Excellent service, great food and they welcomed our dogs with a bowl of water and biscuits, happy dog happy owner we will definitely be returning 😁

Excellent service. Traditional Uk cafe food well cooked and nicely presented. Great value and a friendly atmosphere. What’s not to like.

Great stop for cycling. Full breakfast menu, lunch, sandwiches cakes and coffee. Cooked to order. I had the skinny breakfast. Tasty, good price. No WiFi or toilets however.

What a great experience. Having had the misfortune of being chased out of an empty No5 at 11:30am for having a baby in a pushchair they were super accommodating with great service

Friendly, welcoming and can’t do enough for you. The food and coffee is excellent. I would recommend this place for everyone in Shifnal.

We’ve lived in Shifnal now for 4 years and Nans is a firm favourite. Claire and her staff are so welcoming and they always remember my little girls order. Nothing is too much trouble and they take the time to chat to you. The best coffee and the food is always delicious, I recommend Nans cafe to everyone.

Lovely little place and went out their way to accommodate me and my little one. We had coffee and breakfast which was great and the service was fabulous. A welcome escape when you need a cuppa!

Nans cafe are welcoming, most importantly for my children as there aren't many places in shifnal that are! The breakfasts are very good! Thank you!

Visited for breakfast after being disappointed somewhere else. Team created a lovely family atmosphere, nothing was too much trouble and food was fab. Definitely worth a visit

Based on recommendations, we visited Nan’s for breakfast a couple of Sundays ago. Friendly greeting and menus furnished. We both opted for Full Breakfasts - I ordered the Big one and Jill had the same with a couple of changes - plus coffees. The coffees came out quickly followed not long after by the food. Freshly cooked, piping hot, substantial plates which were delicious. Lots of toast too. Nice banter with the staff and it was another plus to find out that they are dog friendly. We enjoyed the experience so much that we called in for lunch the following week and breakfast the Sunday after Good value for money and thoroughly recommended

We visited for lunch today and the staff were so welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and served very quick. Will definitely be visiting again.

This is a super place to stop by. It’s big enough inside but there is some outside space if the weather permits. Claire and her team are lovely, it’s immaculately clean and covid safe so you do t need to worry there. There’s all the traditional things on the menu that you’d expect from a local cafe, plus homemade cakes- all lovely and freshly cooked. We had granary toast with avocado and poached eggs, sitting outside in the sun- very pleasant!

Always a great place for a cooked to perfection full English breakfast. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere warm. Highly recommend a visit

Called in today for breakfast 2nd visit. Very helpful staff, very attentive. Ordered two breakfasts one vegetarian and two large latte. Latte is wonderful no aftertaste. Breakfast arrived after a short period, as good as the first time. Quite a busy place for a small cafe. Thanks again superb all around.

i had the misfortune to visit this place today the lady that served us was ignorant and rude and totally lacking in customer interaction

We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning, to be greated by the owner such a lovely lady who took our order, she was just fantastic, so pleasant and polite. The food itself arrived presented lovely and tasted just the same. For a café to offer a Slimming World friendly breakfast, lunches etc is a welcome relief. We will definitely return again!!

Went for breakfast and it was lovely although the sausage could have been better quality. I realise the price dictates what it is but I would pay a little extra for a better sausage

Great cafe, very friendly staff, nothing too much trouble and delicious food. What more could you ask for.

We called into the cafe today for the first time, it is a small cafe and had a table for 10-12 already in situ. But we were warmly welcomed and told there was a20 minute wait. I’m genuinely shocked by the reviews that claim this is expensive. All food is cooked to order and the cakes homemade, on average the food including home cooked lasagne, chicken casserole and corsage pie are £4.95. The portions are very generous and the cake is £2.95 for a triple layer homemade cake that you can easily share. We will happily return here it really is good value for money

The cafe is fairly average in terms of range on the menu and quality of products. It is reasonably priced. Staff were not particularly friendly.

Nice breakfast, English fry-up, good size portions, but need to sit outside if you have animals. Two or three outside tables which are great if warm, but no cover if weather bad

Popped in here on my way through early Saturday morning. Ordered scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and tea. Staff were pleasant and friendly but sadly I thought the amount of salmon on the plate was a little small. I think I counted eight small slivers and nowhere near the amount I have had elsewhere. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and wouldn't prevent me from visiting again but if you like salmon and eggs don't expect too much salmon.

It's hard to park around here, so dropping in is difficult in my experience, but the cafe is really nice. Can get some great food there. Great prices, nice service, just a really nice place. Recommended

If you happen to be wandering about in Shropshire and find yourself in Shifnal around lunch time, by all means stop in at Nan's for some great home made meals, from splendid sandwiches to bubble & squeak. Unless you have an iron will, the carrot cake is essentially irresistible.

We popped in with our new Grandson for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. As we entered we were made really welcome and everyone moved so we could get our pushchair in. Service was friendly and quick, coffee was good, our Cheese and Ham Panini's were really nice. Lovely place

Lovely location and staff, however the sandwichs are let down by what can only be described as cheap bread.

Really nice friendly café with a great choice of breakfast my wife chose scrambled egg with salmon with the choice of Muffin or crumpet which she really enjoyed I opted for the English Breakfast which had a slightly runny ie just right egg and local really nice sausage all done fresh, with toast and a drink ....very pleasant way to start the day ....

On Route to Haughton Hall my Daughter In Law and l popped in for breakfast, really lovely place, lady behind the counter told us to take a seat and would be over to take our order, she was so busy but was very well organised, choice of food was very good but l fancied something that wasn't on the menu but it wasn't a problem they lady sorted it for me. Quality of the food was excellent and all freshly cooked and nicely presented highly recommended

Really good home cooked breakfast, cooked to order. Nice choice of specials, would have liked to try the bubble and squeak but it had sold out!

Brilliant little cafe. Good English breakfasts and good menu choices. Wish I could try the home made cakes to. Maybe next time.

This is a great little cafe close to Shifnal Station and an ideal starting (or finishing) point before an exploration of this lovely little town. The food is very good value and home-cooked with the cakes being especially tempting, nice coffee as well. Beats Costa style cafes into a cocked hat! Friendly service and friendly local customers make for a very pleasant experience!

Met my friend here as it’s a halfway point between our towns, it’s a lovely little cafe, friendly talkative staff, lovely food, good location.

My friend and I were staying locally and walked into Shifnal, we spotted Nans cafe and popped in for some late lunch. However we werewolf that they were duets close imminently at 3pm, however we could have a brew and cake. My tea came in a pot ( always impresses me) and the carrot cake was exceptional quality and quantity. If you Arecibo shifnal pop in, the ladies are very friendly

We had a nice breakfast here... not sensational but tasty. Nice surroundings but not an overly warm welcome. Had a problem with their credit card machine so luckily had just enough cash to pay. Wished we’d been warned about that when we sat down... or, perhaps even more importantly, when we’d ordered (other customers had to go down the road to the cash point!). Wouldn’t rush back but, if passing, would go back again.

They enjoy the food and services was good, was clean and friendly.

Stopped for a coffee didn't eat here but food looked good cakes were really nice. Staff are friendly and its a really clean nice place

Nice friendly cafe. Well laid out, nice and light. Friendly no fuss service and a decent coffee. Not tried the breakfast but they look good so will next time. Perfect place to rest you're feet or chat.

Had coffee and gorgeous cake in this little cafe. Excellent value for money too! Worth a visit. Plenty to choose from in fact, better than our hotel!!!

Tomamos el desayuno en el café, la comida estaba bien presentada y muy sabroso. Buena relación calidad-precio. El café era excelente, de nuevo una buena relación calidad-precio. El café en sí estaba limpio y brillante. Sí recomendaría este lugar a todos los que quieres buena comida simple en un lugar agradable

Aparecimos aquí para el desayuno hoy a la hora de la comida. El personal es muy amable y genial con los niños. La comida estaba bien caliente y deliciosa.

Gran Café. El personal era servicial y amable, disfrutamos de una buena comida. Bueno tener internet wi-fi. No quiero escribir más, pero me está haciendo que Trupadvisir es irritante.

Very friendly small café. The menu isn't elaborate, just down to earth meals and treats. Start off the morning with their breakfast selection. Moving to lunch, much of it is homemade like a wonderful beef stew and cottage pie. If you want something lighter jacket potatoes and toasted sandwiches may be your thing. You cant go wrong with any of the cakes if you pop in later in the day though they are available all day- again all home made and can be taken away as well as eat in. Range of tea coffee milkshakes and soft drinks but its also licensed if you want a glass of wine or Becks. In summer there are tables outside too but the drawback it is on a busy road corner

Me and my friend dougal go every other Friday for a breakfast it's always cooked to perfection , you can go to other cheap and cheerful greasy spoons but this cafe takes some beating it's not all about price it's about quality for us and some cheeky staff

This is a great café been back several times, just love the breakfast and later in the day afternoon homemade cake with great coffee. Staff are very friendly and although dogs are not really aloud in my Amber dog was and she was well look after. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic breakfast. The portion sizes are perfect. The staff were lovely. Great old fashioned cafe. Loved it.

Popped by on the way for a breakfast - we didn't know the place but the food was hot and tasty, arrived quickly. The place is clean and inviting. Staff were polite and helpful. Highly recommended.

Was looking for a full English this morning and came across Nans Cafe Bar, it was exceptionally busy which we saw as a good sign, we were not disappointed. 6 Breakfast later 6 happy customers. The staff were rushed off their feet but still managed a bit of banter with customers and service with a smile.

Popped in for lunch whilst passing through Shifnal alone. Wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food....(the cakes are amazing) and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Thanks guys for making me feel so welcome. I'll be back

Just wanted a coffee and snack. Coffee was great and the home made lemon cake was lovely. The greeting could have been a bit more friendly but other wise I would go back again. There is a good choice of menu.

Popped in for a coffee around lunch time and received very little greeting. Enjoyed a lovely well made coffee which I couldn't fault, however found the staff to be slightly disengaged

Stumbled on this café early one afternoon, good homemade cakes and a good menu with vegetarian option which is not always possible. Went for bubble and squeak which was good. Staff friendly and the atmosphere very good. In all very good standard.

Needed a warming cuppa on a freezing cold day and had a 'black cherry - hot chocolate'. It did the trick.

Visited here as a family of four for light lunch during half-term. Staff were very friendly and service was prompt. Food was really good. Great milkshakes for kids - I've never seen Jammie Dodger flavour before!

The breakfast is very over priced not as much as a cup of tea is though the owner is very rude and acts like they are doing you a favour. Not very welcoming either. Avoid

I had the misfortune to get breakfast here today. I must admit it was not the most welcoming of cafe's and I almsot felt like I was intruding. Maybe is was because I was in my workwear and did not fit the clientele criteria!I asked for a bacon and egg bap and was sgarply told that they only do sandwiches and not baps. "Ok" I said "I'll have the sandwich".The bacon was way undercooked and I had a tea and a coffee with it too. The price bearing in mind this was a take out and not an eat in came to £7.80. I could have had two full English breakfasts at other places for that price. Absolutely shocking and a total rip off. Never would I go here again. Rip off prices for undercooked food!

Went with my son on a thursday morning he had a coffee and bacon sandwich and i had a pot of tea and croissant service was friendly and the food was good and the coffee and pot of tea was excellent,small but very nice cafe would go back again if i was in Shifnal and needed a snack either in the morning or lunch.

Had a very nice sandwich, good Pot of tea, cakes looked home made and moreish . Saw somekne having a sausage sandwich, looked really good.

Decided to give this place another try after a disappointing first visit six months ago.I was served by a really friendly mature gentlemen who went out of his way to make me feel welcome- so important if you are a solo visitor. Although I only had tea and toast both were really well presented and the tea was served in a proper pot not those leaky metal ones that so many cafes use. Tea tasted fresh and clean. Really good value for less than three pounds. Breakfasts being served to other customers looked good too!

We popped in to get some cake to take away. Very friendly staff and delicious cake which I would highly recommend.

Very nice breakfast sandwich. Mao had green tea which was good. Staff were friendly and food was served very quickly. No toilet though

Enjoyed a great traditional breakfast for £4.75. Nice sized meal, well cooked and served by a friendly lady who brought our dog a bowl of water as it was a hot day. Nice to sit outside and watch the world go by.

Clean and friendly and very nice people. Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon. Stayed in Shifnal for the airshow so popped in to get out of the rain! Cakes looked delicious.

Spent a lovely hour this afternoon sitting outside in the sun. With a large cold drink.Lady there was very polite and ablidging. We will return and try out the cake as recommended by other trip advisors.

Homemade cake, courgette and pistachio (which I thought not sure about that, give it a go), was amazing. Best cake I've had for a long while with sultanas and lime curd(i think). Thoughly recommend.

Lovely hot chocolate and an amazing Pistachio and Courgette Cake. My partner had the English Breakfast, it was a little on the small side with only 1 sausage and 1 slice of bacon, however, my partner said it was just enoughFriendly staff, clean cafe
