Stop. Coffee Shop in Shropshire

Very slow staff. Only appears the owner lady (I guess) was interacting and the chap was. Well. Uninterested and slow. I’m sorry but a couple of sandwiches and coffees seemed to cause carnage. He came to serve tables outside and returned inside leaving the tables with used and left plates and cups. Not the best experience. Food was near cold (hot sandwiches) and noticed folk getting either coffee first then ages later the food. One chap had cookies and actually went in for his long awaited coffees. Long wait on our sandwiches. I’d not bother again as loads of coffee shops about.

It was not closed! as on TA... Lovely coffee and Egg Custard Tart. Outside seating and indoor seating. Good atmosphere.

3 of the 5 team were disengaged and showed no initiative on this busy Sunday morning. Need training. A disappointing experience waiting too long for a simple order.

Visited while in the museum, staff very friendly and helpful. We both had a decaf coffee, have to say it was one of the best that we had ever tasted. The pear and blueberry cake was delicious.

Great little cafe in centre of Shrewsbury. We were visiting the area for the first time, so just a quick stop for cold drinks before visiting local attractions. Staff were very friendly, quick service and nice atmosphere.

This is a lovely little coffee shop in the middle of Shrewsbury. We had a selection of drinks and cakes; the standout one was the pear sponge. Service was good but we could have done without the ukulele practice!

Delicious food, menu looks well thought out - we had wild mushrooms on brioche toast, plus excellent steak sandwich. Service friendly and efficient, lovely spacious cafe. Price reflected the good quality food

Wanted a reasonably quick stop for some lunch. Ordered toasties and tea from the counter and sat at an outside table to wait….and wait….and wait some more. The food and drinks were fine when they finally showed up but not enough to make the wait a worthwhile use of time.

I came to this café to get a hot chocolate with my friends. Sorry to say this was not as good as I'd hoped. Firstly, the hot chocolate was far too extortionate for what it was. The service was so slow and I had limited time. I went to check out and right after i had payed for it, the server decides to tell me conveniently that they don't use disposable cups for hot drinks anymore and i had to spend an extra pound on a reusable cup. Overall I'm very upset with my experience being scammed. Would not recommend.

A wonderful spacious cafe in the Shrewsbury Museum. I had the season special of pork bell and Cantonese turnip cake which was absolutely delicious. Staff are super friendly and attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. My new favourite lunch spot in Shrewsbury

My son and I popped in for breakfast and we both had the excellent scrambled eggs which are the best we have every tasted. The service was excellent and very friendly. The food was hot and very fresh. I would definitely recommend this place if you want good quality fresh food and drinks in a lovely place with great staff.

This review is for the Stop Cafe At Shrewsbury Museum. All the staff were so polite,friendly and smartly dressed. We ordered some food which was brought to us beautifully prepared and presented and tasted great. A very good selection of bottle alcoholic drinks and the hot drinks were properly made and nicely presented. The date and time of my visit was Tuesday 19 September around 3pm. I didn’t realise what a great place this was and I will return with friends. These people who work here have been trained well and as it’s restored my faith in the service industry. It wouldn’t be right to single one individual out as they were all excellent.

Very Slow service on last several visits. Parts of food order simply forgotten about and didn’t arrive untill everyone else had finished their meal. Food was nice when it finally arrive d though

Find some of the staff very rude. Waited a while to be served we had told them we only wanted drinks - in the end had to call someone over. Can’t believe how long we waited just for 2 teas. Very disappointing and won’t be going there again.

In previous months we have found the cafe a very friendly and tasty place for lunch, brunch or just a lovely coffee. I took my family today who were visiting from London, we sat outside, everything was perfect except a mature female member of staff, she didn't smile once, watery abrupt when I enquired if we were to order at the bar or if it was table service, when we went to pay she made spliting the bill so uncomfortable and was very rude in her manner, I felt like I was being told of for paying! I would love to continue to frequent this cafe, however if this member of staff remains we will not.

We were married in the museum rooms and stop cafe provided an amazing hot meal for 90 people, also providing for food intolerances and veggie choices. It was beautiful food,the cakes were all superb, and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly.

We regularly drop in for coffee , superb cake and snacks but this week tried the breakfast/ brunch , fabulous bacon, Lincolnshire sausage , tomatoes and creamy delicious scrambled eggs on toast one of the best breakfasts and served by the always wonderful helpful staff.. Can't recommend this cafe enough .A plus 5 *****

Stopped off at the ‘Stop’, by the Coleham bridge this weekend and what a lovely experience. The young man (around 17) who served us was an absolute star, and it’s service like this that ensures we will be back. Great coffee and service with a wink and a smile. Keep up the good work :-)

We were looking for a nice spot for a light lunch, and stumbled across this quaint but airy cafe. The 6 of us had flatbreads, soup, coffees, and smoothies, and all that we consumed was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the short walk away from the hustle and bustle for this friendly, bright and scrumptious eatery on edge of the river. A great little Spot. 😊

I have visited here several times before without incident. However on my recent visit on 26/1/23, my family and I were waiting for a table for 3 to become available. Whilst waiting, a party, initially of 3, entered behind. When asked how many the table was for, this party said that it was for 7, pointing to the other members outside. The waiter then pointed to a table, which was to be vacated for the party. This was despite the fact that my family were still waiting to be seated. When I asked the waiter about this, he replied that they were prioritising the party of 7, instead of my family which still stood waiting. We then proceeded to leave in disgust, and we will not return. Though this states this is a 1 star review, this is in fact a 0 star review.

I have visited stop many times over the years and always been happy great food and friendly staff until today. A disinfectant spray was being used to clean the tables we all had a mouthful and it went in my coffee, we address what happened with the waitress and she apologised, a few minutes later the same happened again another member of staff, it tasted foul this time we all had a mouthful of fine spray, the member of staff just said I have to clean the tables no apologies, there were also people eating, the sun was beaming down on the tables, a hot soapy cloth or the disinfectants applied to the cloth would have been more than adequate. I didn't even finish my coffee.

Warm welcome even with a wet dog. Highly Recommend after walk around the local park. staff great good coffee and choice, inc hipster avo on toast.

Food and drinks menu varied, catering for vegans and meat eaters alike. Unusual homemade cakes and snacks. Tasty food at reasonable prices. Helpful and professional service.

I went in last week and was so impressed with the speedy service! The staff were so friendly! The food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be visiting again!

Extremely busy weekday morning, but after a short wait they were able to accommodate our family of 7. Pleasant atmosphere, child friendly service. Gluten free cake available. Nice coffee. Toilets excellent. We will visit again when in Shrewsbury.

Housed in the Shrewsbury Museum building it is separate from the Museum. On my visits to Shrewsbury I always aim to go there at least once. A lovely array of cakes and some lovely lunches. As I only had breakfast a couple of hours earlier...

Shrewsbury has some excellent coffee shops. This is one of the best. The coffee is excellent and the service is always quick and efficient. They also have a good amount of outdoor seating, if you prefer to sit outside. One of my favourite coffee stops.

Convenient for when you are visiting Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, nice ambience, friendly service, lovely coffee, reasonably priced.

I was a bit disappointed with my milkshake, it took ages to be made but was not as tasty as I would have liked, I was also expecting fruit in it as advertised, and there wasn’t any.

Ordered two milkshakes for my wife and I. Cafe was busy on a Sunday afternoon so we stopped to sample a vanilla and chocolate milkshake. Whilst ice cream was added it was not creamy enough and mine came close to a vanilla flavoured milk drink....

We were having a day out in Shrewsbury and we were looking for a light lunch somewhere in the centre. It has to be said that there is plenty of choice, but on this day we saw an A-Board outside the museum about a café...

Had a delicious brunch with some of the best sausages I've ever tasted. Sat in a lovely courtyard area outside. Waitresses were very attentive and friendly. Not too expensive. A lovely interlude.

This cafe is located in the Art Gallery & Museum right in the heart of the wonderfully historic town of Shrewsbury. We popped into the museum to get out of the rain then decided to have a snack in the cafe. What a surprise! Instead...

Popped in for a lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. The Shropshire Platter was delicious, the homemade feta & tomato frittata was superb. I washed it down with a bottle of Shropshire beer. Friendly service and reasonably priced.

I met up with a friend today and we decided to go to Stop Coffee Shop at the Museum. Coffee was perfect - and I had the brunch breakfast. I have to say - this was one of the best breakfasts I have had in...

Went to have my usual Saturday coffee yesterday but needed to use the toilet first. I was stopped by a man who I had seen in there before either owner or manager and told toilets were for customers only. I tried to explain I would...

Came to meet up with friends in the cafe at Shrewsbury museum, due to covid restrictions had to eat outside in the open space at the back, no heaters available, it was a chilly afternoon (end of October!) and I was absolutely frozen, I could...

Stop @ the Museum has had a bit of a makeover - it looked good before but the new lighting is fab. The coffee is excellent and so is the Brunch plate with lovely creamy scrambled eggs. The arrangements for Covid compliance are excellent and...

We stopped here for coffee following a long walk along the River Severn. The coffee is very good and there is plenty of outside seating. We will visit again soon.

Called in here for elevenses and a natter....had very nice hot choclate and one blueberry and pear cake and the most chocolately chocolate cake! Noticed all staff had masks, and they were very quick at cleaning and sanitising tables - plus, for those who want...

Food was stunning at this place - a Swedish flatbread tasted so good. Huge slice of rocky road that was excellent. Decaf coffee was good as well. Service was lovely however the card machine was playing up. Tried 5 times then had to pay by...

Excellent place. Cakes haven't changed at all - still yummy. Covid arrangements are excellent. Well done Stop.

Very enjoyable, I had a salad with sourdough bread, olives and tomato, my husband had the Katsu chicken burger. Both were delicious. The staff were welcoming and efficient and the system for keeping everyone safe in these times was well thought out and adhered too. Can’t fault them at all.

Brilliant coffee. This place is tucked out of the way down the hill from the city centre. It’s well worth the walk to enjoy a fine cup of coffee here. Some good food around too although I didn’t eat.

Just on the side of The Quarry, STOP is well positioned and serves lovely coffee and munchies. Really pleasant place to go

Coffee is always good and both venues are pleasant, the Museum and Greyfriars. Cake is tasty, particularly the chocolate Guinness cake, there are also some unusual types as well! Service is efficient and staff pleasant. Can recommend

The first place I now head to after Parkrun. Its become a new 2020 Saturday morning habit and one that I am thoroughly enjoying! The coffee - whether to drink in or take away - is always superb, a nice space and friendly staff. I look forward to trying some of the food the next time I stop by.

Went to the cafe in the museum for lunch. Very good value for money for really tasty food. I thought they just served cake but it had a vast modern lunch menu too. Lots of vegan options. Very much recommend if you’re looking for lunch when in Shrewsbury town centre.

The staff here know what they are doing and the layout is very good to make it feel comfortable and spacious without being overwhelmed by other customers. The cakes were very good as well as the coffee

Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and a superb lunch platter full of tasty local delights... highly recommend the spiced carrot pickle perfect with the Shropshire cheeses! Popular with young families we enjoy watching their chatter and play as our family live in NZ

This is a lovely place to have coffee and cake. The coffee was lovely and the cake was one of the nicest. Staff were nice and friendly and the place had a lovely calm about it. Would definitely recommend.

Not a bad little place. Been there for coffee and cake before, no issues. I had the flatbread, it was actually lovely, nice flavour. However, in my mind if I'm paying a fiver for a glorified sandwich I'd expect a larger flat bread, what I got was the size of a smaller pitta. Saying that though, my partner's bagel was filled and looked lovely. So swings and roundabouts. I would come here again but for the cakes, which look lovely to be fair.

They lost our order so we waited nearly 45 minutes for our food, after having to remind them to make it. The girl who took the order seemed unconcerned that we never received before she knocked off her shift. When the food came no salad for the kids although it was ordered. Our flatbreads were delicious. Two stars because of the service.

We had a home made scotch egg and a very good quiche. The artisan ice cream was good too. Difficult to fault.

I regularly come to Stop- lively atmosphere, sometimes a bit packed with little kids-though I like that, in nice big well lit space, friendly staff and EXCELLENT coffee. Having tried out all the cafes in town I say its coffee in the best in central town (with great coffee also in Shrewsbury Coffee House by the station).

We had been walking around Shrewsbury on a lovely sunny morning and were looking for somewhere that we could sit outside and have a coffee. We came across Stop. and gave it a go. We picked a table outside and I went in to order the lady took my order and I paid and said she would bring the drinks out to us. It must have been around 15 minutes before I asked one of the waiting staff where the drinks were. It seems that we had been forgotten about and the drinks appeared in a couple of minutes. The coffee was ok, but I wish we had got take-out drinks and kept walking.

We’ve passed stop many times; today we managed to go in, and I’m so glad we did. With Friendly staff and excellent coffee, this will now be our go to coffee shop when visiting Shrewsbury. The food menu looks good so we’ll be trying that on future visits.

Been more times than I am allowed to review. Handy location for us when in town. Had coffee together with cakes, or with a light lunch, or just a drink.

I've just stayed in shrewsbury for a week with my young family and visited Stop cafe THREE times! It's the most family friendly cafe in town. Spacious, healthy childrens food options, delicious cakes, really good value and excellent service. I couldn't recommend more!

Nice and friendly staff who were very polite and took our order quickly, just a shame they didn’t have everything as advertised on their menu

While visiting Shrewsbury my husband and I took a Sunday morning walk along the river path and stopped in here for some coffee and a chai tea latte.

We enjoyed coffee, tea, and delicious, fresh cakes here a few times during our stay in Shrewsbury. Great location - close to Darwin's Townhouse and to the River Severn walk. You can sit inside or enjoy sitting outside. Friendly service.

Stopped for tea and coffee respectively before collecting the car from St Julian's. It's a bright modern space with colourful furniture. The drinks were fine and the service was quick. The menu looked interesting. We would go back for lunch sometime.

Good coffee and great location close to the river and Greyfriars bridge. Handy location after a morning walk in the quarry. Selection of breakfast options and pastries on offer. Also serving lunch. Friendly quick service too.

Lovely cakes and when weather permits seating outside. Good friendly service. Nice and clean. Just up from the river - well worth a visit.

Stopped here for coffee Saturday morning. Clearly popular with Parkrunners, there were plenty finishing off when we arrived. Seating outdoors and in, and a mix of clientele. We had a couple of coffees which were okay. Didn’t treat ourselves to any of the treats on offer, there was a good savoury and sweet selection, but plenty of others were. Friendly staff and ideally situated for a riverside walk.

A favourite of ours, so too many visits to be able to review separately. On most occasions a warm welcome, good service. Really enjoy the coffee, cakes and lite bites.

I had noticed this place last week, being new in town I thought it was part of the bike shop next door. My only regret is that I didn't stop then.

I have walked past and thought about stopping for a drink after walking the dogs on many occasion this morning that’s exactly what I chose to do.

Lovely Guinness and chocolate cake, in fact we all had brill post run cakes. Really nice cafe inside and out - highly recommended

Had lunch after taking a six year old to the Lego exhibition - great family environment, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and freshly made food. The youngest customer is not an adventurous eater but we had two 'firsts' - he ate his entire cheese toasty including the crusts (usually regarded with deep suspicion) and voluntarily tried 'the green stuff' and shredded carrot - both won approval. He also 'shared' two smoothies and asked if Dad could make them at home. Adult meals were great - halloumi wrap substantial and tasty, BLT bagel disappeared fast and a Cooper's sausage roll went down well. Everything was well presented and very reasonably priced.

The sign outside says "the best cakes in Shrewsbury", and the cakes we had were indeed delicious. Without testing the cakes at all other establishments in Shrewsbury we can't every know if they are in fact the best, but we will do our best to investigate further. Interesting place, and you can visit the Roman gallery in the museum for free.

Magnificent, busy, bustling cafe inside the buildings that house the Museum and Art Gallery. Young, cheerful staff. Family/baby/child friendly - bright and clean and good value.

We stopped (!) here on our way into Shrewsbury and had a really good cappuccino - not too hot, not too bitter, with just the right amount of froth. Lovely service, clean toilets and comfy sofas. We will come again and have lunch or tea and cake next time.

The sign outside said “best cakes in Shrewsbury “ do obviously I had to accept the challenge.

This is a great place to meet with friends for coffee or wine!! Great staff and so helpful. Wonderful cake choice- highly recommended. Sitting outside in the sunshine with our dogs after a walk along the river is just perfect.

Dropped by for a quick cup of coffee and tea. Loved the atmosphere. The cake was fresh and tasty and the beverages just as they should be. Will come again.

We visited from Melbourne Australia which is known for its great coffee. It was the best coffee we had on our 6 week visit. Went back twice it was so good. The teacakes were fabulous. The smoothies were great, especially the raspberry and watermelon.

Excellent coffee and tea (plenty of different flavours), friendly, cheerful and efficient staff.

Average coffee, very average staff. I've been a few times to give them the benefit of the doubt. Won't bother again. The girls who work their seem reluctant to smile and lack any understanding of customer service.

Called for a coffee before going on town walk , but saw the lovely cakes on offer and could not help ourselves . The young lady behind the counter recommend it also . It was so scrummy !!

Regular visitor to Stop at St Julian's. Due to early afternoon appointments in town called in for a spot of lunch. Nice bagel with yummy filling and a nice salad to go with it. Coffee great as usual. I also like the complimentary glasses and jug of water which you can help yourself to. Resisted the urge, on this occasion, to have some cake.

Väldigt familjevänligt med goda smoothies och mackor. Hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Många stammisar på stället skapade familjär atmosfär.

Good coffee and a good choice of unusual cakes e.g. courgette & pistachio sponge. Lovely. Service good too.

2 x Take away flat whites, just frothy milk, no coffee taste whatsoever. When I very politely pointed this out, I was met with an argumentative rude attitude. She actually said "well there is some coffee in it". She hadn't actually taken the lid of the returned coffee at this point. She then made 2 x very strong coffees ( probably trying to make a point ), then slammed them down in front of me and turned her back. Not once did she apologise. No customer care skills whatsoever!

You can sit inside or outside. Your order is brought to your table - we sat outside in the sun. We had tea and coffee and toasted tea cakes. All was enjoyed!

Came in last Sunday for a coffee and a slice of cake and was served by a young girl with brown hair, she was very polite and helpful (my mum thought so too). The cafe itself was cosy and had a welcoming feel. Cake was fab too, I will definitely be visiting again.

My husband and I had a very warm welcome as we walked in, the coffee was extremely good, as we were on holiday we went back the next day had a homemade cake which was delicious plus the manager and staff are very friendly had a good chat and laugh with them. Would recommend anyone to pop in for a hot drink, cake or maybe lunch.

Wide range of drinks and the cakes looked very tempting. To our surprise, we enjoyed beautiful singing from 4 'older' ladies and a man, with their guitars etc. I was delighted to be able to have a soya mocha.

Coffee fix stop 2 flat whites ordered very friendly staff drinks bought to table. Coffee was really nice would recommend. Cake looked really nice but resisted.

No matter what time of day or what day we go in we always get fantastic service with competitively priced great coffees and a massive selection of home made cakes and pastries. In a very modern but extremely welcoming environment.
