The Old Coffee Pot in Shropshire

We had a lovely time. Excellent staff who were very welcoming and provided prompt, attentive service. Lovely food (including cake!) at a very reasonable price.

If only I could eat the lovely cakes. Now a spring menu. Still excellent food well served. Last hot food orders at 2.30pm. Open from Thursday to Saturday. Plus take away Sunday Lunch.

Visited Good Friday and so glad we did. The breakfast pancake was amazing with tons of sausage and bacon, tasty and good value for money. Cakes were lovely and fresh and tempting! owners clearly work hard and we very welcoming. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely Welsh Rarebit and delicious Latte.

My coffee was lovely. I didn't eat, but husband had cake, and it didn't last long! We love that we can take our dog.

My first time going here. The food is absolutely gorgeous. All fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection - nothing is too much trouble for him / them. Can’t wait to go again. The cakes are stunning and taste mmmmm. Loads of choice. Definitely recommend to go here.

Love this place! Amazing cake! We had the cookie dough. Very moist sponge. Ordering process was so simple & straightforward. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended 😊

As regular visitors to Oswestry we look forward to calling in for a coffee and a slice of lemon meringue. Darren and his Team never fail to deliver a warm welcome, excellent service together with super delicious food and drinks. Long may they work their magic! 😊

Amazing food quality and excellent customer service. 100% recommended.

Amazing cake and coffee. Such a friendly and welcoming place to visit. Highly recommend! They even have a range of gluten free cakes, yes, a range, wow!

Came in today with two of our own dogs and my daughter’s. We made to feel very welcome, as we’re all three dogs (even after they barked at a big dog and one of them slipped her harness and ran through the cafe). The Brie, Bacon and cranberry panini was delicious, piping hot and with a loved salad. My Husband had the Welsh Rarebit m, which he also enjoyed immensely. The dogs enjoyed a sausage each and lots of fuss. Recommended this place very highly- we’ll definitely be back(but with less dogs..😬)x

Lovely atmosphere and food was great

We walked in on a busy Friday afternoon. Hoping just for some coffee and cake. 4 adults and a large dog. The owners were very accommodating and sorted a table out for us. They gave our large but nervous dog lots of fuss, treats and explained the extensive home baked cake options including 4 of them being Gluten free. Wow….the cakes were amazing, the owners were amazing and we will be back knowing this gem is here.

Treated my little birthday boy like a king! Great breakfast and selection of cakes

A lovely part of the Oswestry café scene. Amazing cakes, glutton free included, and a good menu. Impeccable, friendly service from the owners and their staff and a fabulous Sunday lunch which can be a takeaway.

I was recommended by a friend when looking for someone to make a 70th Birthday cake for my sister. I have never eaten in this coffee shop, but when I went in and saw the cakes, I knew it looked very promising. The owners were lovely when I explained what I wanted, and I have to say the finished cake (chocolate) was exactly what I'd asked for. The cake itself was delicious, very moist and everyone particularly liked the fact that the filling was a ganache and raspberry jam as opposed to just buttercream. As a bonus the cake also freezes well! Handy for any leftovers. This shop will now be my first port of call for coffee and cake, although the lunch time menu looked also very tempting. Lovely atmosphere and extremely pleasant owners.

Really enjoyed our homemade carrot cake and fruit scones with tea and coffee. Everything on display looks lovely and very generous portions. Very warm welcome and good value. Will return and highly recommend.

Delicious Sunday Takeaway Lunches, highly recommended business! We’ve used there Takeaway services a few times now & the food is amazing! Daz & Rach are a lovely hardworking couple, it’s a pleasure going in there 😊

Just as we remembered it from pre-covid times. The service was very good, the food equally good with a wide range of cakes to select from. The atmosphere is great and ideal when meeting up with old friends. Well done to the owners for providing the ideal setting.

If you fancy a cozy cuppa with very friendly people serving and absolutely delicious cakes, then this is the place for you! They do really lovely lunches too. I had a really good roast here once and have had cakes and also a great Welsh rarebit. Amazing Lemon Meringue cake!!

We are regulars. Daz and Rachael are the best and make great cakes. My favourite is the lemon meringue pie. Daz also makes delicious stews and other winter warmers. All food is nicely served and the coffee is good. Unfortunately the Old Coffee Pot isn't open Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Just called in today. The most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen. Staff were so kind and considerate, (even looking after someone who had collapsed in the street). No visit to Oswestry will ever be complete again without a visit to The Old Coffee Pot and Tearooms. A real gem!

Fab food! Service is brilliant. Very welcoming. Not rushed and really good value for money. 2nd time visiting and was as good as the 1st time

Best cake in Oswestry! Daz and Rachel are bloody lovely too.

Amazing cake, we will definitely be back. The massive lemon meringue pie was gluten free!

You will struggle to get a better slice of cake anywhere. Some people say they are pricey, but given the enormous slice of freshly made high quality cake I think they are reasonable in price. We arrived late for actual food and they gave us some free carrot cake as they felt bad for us. Also of note is that our friend a vegetarian who can't eat gluten had a good selection to choose from.

Fantastic people. Booking for an 80th birthday afternoon tea. On a personal note, the lemon meringue is to die fir.

We stopped off here with the family,it was a little gem,the food and cakes were delicious and the service was very good very friendly will highly recommend 👌

The very best in a town where you're spolit for choice. No-one makes cakes like this place and when we're in Oswestry this is always our first choice

Great setting to just relax with friends and have coffee and cake.

Delightful ambiance. Friendly staff. Lovely view of the park from the sofa in the front window. Well presented, tasty food. Not the cheapest eatery in Oswestry but well worth patronising. Posted this a while back. It has survived through Covid-19 lockdowns and is still going strong. We ate there today, still as good as ever. I forgot to note previously: very dog friendly. 2023 update: still as good as ever. Had lunch there today. 2023#2: tried their take away Sunday lunches. Superb, highly recommended. Just ensure you have a good appetite, they aren't small!

Staff very helpful, food very good and well priced.

As a solo luncher I received a very friendly welcome, excellent service and very tasty, well cooked snack lunch - rarebit with bacon. The cafe is comfortable, individual and an asset to the town. I was only a casual visitor but it made a very positive impression and I would recommend it highly.

Amazing - This cafe is everything you hope a good cafe will be. Friendly, helpful, cozy, with an amazing choice of cakes. I couldn't decide whihc cake to choode so bought a piece to take home as well as one to eat in. The cafe has a real charm, including the decor and the people who run it who are engaging and clearly paaionate about what they are offering. For my jusband and I this is a real find.

I literally can’t recommend this place enough. We had such a lovely meal-the salad that accompanied our meal had so many different parts to it rather than just lettuce and tomato. The cakes all looked amazing on the counter and they had a special pancake menu on at the time for shrove Tuesday. It had a really nice family fun vibe and at the end the chef came out and did a magic trick for the kids. Faultless!

Delicious and will definitely be back

The best lemon meringue pie I have found and very friendly atmosphere!

We visited last weekend for a family lunch all the food was lovely but I was impressed with the gluten free cakes on offer. The gf lemon meringue pie was amazing so good I took a takeaway slice home too! Lovely place with great staff, my Grandson was impressed with the chefs party tricks too, thanks so much we will be back for another visit soon.

Today was my first visit to the Old Coffee Pot in 2023. I was not disappointed, the service was great. There has been some minor menu changes and so today I tried the new ham hock & potato cakes with a savoury lentil and bean stew. It was fresh, healthy and tasted wonderful. Well done Darren and Rachel, another great lunch experience. Plus I opted to bring my piece of lemon meringue pie home for supper - always fabulous 😍 thank you all 👌

Had a lovely experience last Friday with friends meal was great and nice atmosphere too thanks to all staff. 👍🙂

Met friends here on the way to Lake Vyrnwy. Really friendly and welcoming staff who were knowledgeable about gluten-free options. The variety was amazing, and options could be adapted. I had a toasted sandwich followed by scone and cream. If I am every in the area again, I will return. Thank you for looking after all of us.

Great Sunday morning breakfast bap.

Came to Oswestry for the day and called into this cafe. Wow!!! What can I say absolutely hugely recommend. Fantastic!! Will come again

Your genuine no frills delightful town centre tea, coffee shop/cafe. The homemade cakes are huge and delicious, love the plum and apple cake and cheese scones. My husband loves the bacon butties (local farm bacon). Haven't purchased their takeaway Sunday lunches but have been told they are delicious.

Used this the coffee pot for the 5 years we have lived here. Owner is always smiling and makes you feel welcome. Definitely recommend whenever you visit Oswestry. Thanks guys for the great food and brilliant selection of cake.

We have called in for breakfast a couple of times. Each time we were warmly welcomed along with our dogs. Breakfast is different. They dont do the full cooked breakfast which I would have ordered but they do a Welsh rarebit on panini with a side of really good bacon. It went down well

The staff Daz were friendly. The foods were amazing. Next time I will have huge portion of gluten free lemon meringue pie.

Not visited before, but glad we did. Friendly and welcoming staff, and dogs very welcome too. Food ordered was very tasty and hot, and presented well. Cakes were amazing and found it hard to choose, but eventually settled on Lemon Cake which was gorgeous. Dog enjoyed her sausage brought for her in a dog bowl! Will definitely return here.

Who come I live locally , and have never been before , the warmest of welcomes I have ever known in any eatery . Ordered the Mushroom soup with a warm cheese scone it was all extremely good , homemade soup and a cheese scone for £5.95 , very good value . Will definitely be going again very soon .

Walked in randomly, was offered a table straight away, served very quickly, the Chef has a cracking sense of humour and makes the most amazing cakes! I just couldn't get enough! The brunch was hot, the tea was endless, the cakes are just to die for! Thanks for a memorable visit, I shall be returning in a few years, maybe on my wedding anniversary next time!

An amusing place, with the story of a guy who makes the most succulent cakes and lemon meringue, yet doesn't eat sugar! Had a great breakfast panini and plenty of tea and cakes! Thanks for the memories, will call again if passing by. Maybe on our wedding anniversary next time..... make sure you leave a tip!

A delightful café run by very friendly staff. They have a simple menu (that’s a compliment) and the food is done so well. The array of cakes in the back room is amazing.

Lovely friendly place, food delicious xx

Rachel and Darren going out of there way to accommodate you. So friendly and food and cakes are lovely.

Came here (last Friday) because of all the gluten free reviews. Was up to expectations, gluten free, dairy free, veggie and dog friendly!! All round friendly too!! Many thanks for a lovely breakfast and for making us feel so comfortable with the dietary requirements :-)

Great welcome and food is great but puddings are amazing 👌

Fantastic cakes and a huge selection for different tastes inc Gluten free. Moreover, what wonderful guy the owner is, friendly and so kind with our autistic son.

This is one of the best and friendly restaurant we have ever visited. The food was delicious. Darren and Rachel were amazing. This cafe is like a hidden gem and we were on our way to Coventry and we visited this place. This is definitely our stop over place whenever we visit Wales. Our boys still remember Darren’s magic tricks. 5+ stars to this place

Friendly , with a relaxing comfortable atmosphere, excellent food at a reasonable price

As Americans just passing through town looking for a bite to eat, we stumbled upon this lovely cafe. Gavin & Rachel are a dynamic duo for creating freshly made, top quality meals. Great food and fantastic, friendly service. I would be a regular if I lived here.

Salad was delicious, hosts were very nice polite and Friendly big 5 stars all round

Go here often A comfy place to relax and unwind with good food and friendly people giving good service Recommend the soup and a scone or lemon meringue and a seat overlooking the park

Lovely place good food plenty of choice helpful and friendly service, seating inside and out with fantastic selection of cakes well worth a visit.

This place is an Aladdin's cave of wonderful food. It was a total pleasure to be welcomed by Darren and Rachael. The Panini was one of the best I've ever eaten. Everything is made in-house and the Chiabata bread is fantastic. Darren did some magic tricks for my son Alex and he loved the place so much he wanted to go back before we went home after our holiday. If you love cake you'll be in heaven. Next time we are in Oswestry this will be our first stop.

Had a lovely lunch at this charming cafe. Food was fresh & delicious, service was spot on. Not many tables, so come early, well worth it 😋

This is a lovely small cafe run by husband and wife who are the most friendly and helpful ever. We had the nicest jacket potatoes that we have had in a long time. Mine was with the homemade chilli and cheese and my husbands was...

Fantastic choice of home made cakes we were spoilt for choice. Small but popular cafe with a warm welcome. We tried the lemon meringue pie which was fantastic. Would recommend.

Daz and his Wife and team, are without doubt 'Top Draw'. He, was friendly curtious and genuine. He served me on Friday, and nothing was to much for him. Being both chefs and waiting on, allowed him to point out the new soup that was taking over from his mushroom that had just sold out. My partner had the best Turkey, stuffing and cranberry pannini's, she's had. My soup was amazing,and eaten with a lovely home made roll. . It was so lovely that we returned the next morning, and the had the pleasure of being served with the same courtesy by Dazis wife Ratchel and a young assistant . It was a lovely atmosphere. I am a firm favourite to frequent as often as I am able to. Congratulations to both you and staff. H.

First visit, OMG amazing, such friendly staff, food delicious hit the spot and the cakes are to die for, so fresh....... And dog friend 6 stars

Went to pick up a birthday cake and while there decided to have lunch food was excellent as was the cake

One of the warmest welcomes I’ve ever received whilst going out to eat. This husband and wife run cafe was charming and the gentleman was very accommodating when it came to ordering our food. We got some homemade chicken and veg soup and a panini. The portions were very healthy which is always a bonus. We couldn’t possibly fit anymore food in before leaving but bought some cake to take away as it just looked too delicious!

Been here couple times freindly couple lovely food and quick.service too would highly recommend thanku Steve Peggy

Best sausage bap I've ever eaten.

Thankyou so much for our takeaway panini's, and beautiful cakes for lunch today. Amazing quality we did not expect the full salad which accompanied our xmas panini's. Lovely food, more than value for money and superb friendly service. We will definitely be back 😁

My thanks to this lovely establishment for helping me warm up this morning. Coffee was great.

Well what can I say about this wonderful place. Food is always excellent and staff are lovely. Awesome

Lovely cafe! Exceptionally friendly staff ....nothing too much trouble. Great cakes and very good value. Will definitely visit again soon.

Great food at reasonable prices served by friendly people Really good selection of cakes

This place never disappoints, just one look at the cake counter is every sweet-toothed person's dream. There is such a wonderful selection that it is always hard to choose, I think next time I will request some pieces to take away so that I can...

Lovely to be back after so long. Terrific visit.

Lovely warm coffee shop great place for light lunches mostly homemade wonderfull selection of homemade cakes

Very well presented, made to feel very welcome.

Stopped in for lunch and cake on my partner's birthday. Super friendly people and a cosy and homey place that is very dog friendly. Food was tasty and great value and our puppy got a little gravy bone that he loved. The custom cake that Rachael made for us looked amazing, tasted great and was exactly as requested. They even set up a little display stand next to our table for it. Thank you Rachael and Darren for helping to make the day special!

Beautiful food, amazing bread, proper butter, excellent friendly customer service, lovely quiet relaxing atmosphere with 1940's style music. Highly recommend

Had lovely afternoon tea with mum and dad today. Comms were superb as asked for extra egg sandwiches, a favourite of my dad....all brilliantly sorted out. Must share that their big cake selection was AMAZING! Particular special mention for the mountain that was the lemon...

Lovely atmosphere, great choice of menu for lunches (with great healthy options) and gorgeous cakes if you want to treat yourself 🥰

Brilliant food and lots of gluten free options.

I love this place. Great staff, super food and ambiance.

Stopped off for a wander round Oswestry on our way home from a trip. The cake in this place is fantastic and the coffee is good too. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through.

Cracking sausage bap, and huge coffee. Nice atmosphere, great service.
