The Postcard Cafe in Shropshire

This is very special little cafe , very colourful. Really lovely staff , warm & welcoming . We only had teas & coffees as we had meal booked elsewhere later . We admired the lovely looking cakes . We sat at a table with our drinks & we were served a plate with 4 'little' slices off lemon cake with 4 little forks complementary such a lovely touch & delicious. We will definitely be back for a meal .

Lovely spot by the river. Had the toastie which was lovely. Wish I would have had a cake as they looked delicious. Quirky little cafe with pre loved items for sale. Couldn't see a toilet in there though? Used the ones over the road in the local authority free car park so no problem.

Had the toastie of the day and samosas. The sandwich and samosas are delicious as they are, but the extras (carrot salad and chutney) really made the entrees special. Lovely and welcoming service. Homemade cakes! What a lovely treat!

What a lovely surprise to find this gem! I loved the atmosphere, just like a cafe should be - friendly, cozy and great food! My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves and ate well! Thank you for the personal service!

Good food and service. Had a lovely freshly dressed salad. Gluten free options. Homemade cakes. Staff welcoming and friendly. Came across this cafe by chance.

This café is ideal for morning coffee/tea and also for lunch. The toasted sandwiches are delicious. And you must leave room for cake because that is delicious too! It has a very comfortable and slightly eclectic vibe. Friendly staff, pleasant surroundings.

As a Coeliac I am always very happy when I find a cafe that serves gluten free cake. The chocolate cake was lovely and moist & served with cream. The staff are very friendly and the cafe is in a lovely spot near Clun Castle. We sat outside on a bench near the stream and enjoyed our coffee and cake in the sunshine.

We, literally, stumbled on this place, en route between Holyhead and Monmouth, and what a treat! The decor is eclectic, eccentric, in a former Temperance Hall, and the food is not what you might expect. It's so much better. Though it sounds conventional enough - sausage roll, sardines on toast, etc - prepare your tastebuds for a treat. We had the sardines on toast - fat juicy fish dressed with olives, capers, toasted seeds, salad leaves. So good. We didn't have the sausage roll, but we heard the chap at the neighbouring table saying it was the best he'd ever had. He acknowledged that he'd been surprised by the cost, but his reservations had vanished. As had ours. The food may sound average. It isn't average. The cakes looked amazing too. What was lovely, too, was that the owner was training a youngster and explaining what she was doing (preparing our lunch) with such enthusiasm. There were tables and benches just across the road by the river, too.

A late lunch - seasonal salad for me with ginger & lemon tea (with honey to sweeten); Ham, cheese and spinach baguette for himself, with coffee. Two slices of cake to take away. Absolutely delicious. Service excellent, quirky environment.

Good food and a wide selection of teas and coffee. Staff were very friendly and helpful - and there's an overall indie vibe to the place that is quite refreshing to find nowadays. The sort of cafe where you will want to linger. There's also vintage clothing and books for sale, which just adds to the personality of the venue.

Idyllic setting. Friendly professional service, perfect coffee. Amazing food, great selections of hot food and Home baked cakes.. quirky inside with artistic artefacts / old vinyls to look through - opportunity to buy local artwork. The place you could stay and while away a good couple of hours taking in the atmosphere and scenery but buying lots of food and cake as well to support the Beautiful business.!

Delightful cafe in idyllic position. Avocado on toast was fantastic after half a days cycle. Excellent service too. I highly recommend.

Fab cafe. Fresh homecooked food with interesting menu . Middle eastern flavours and warm welcome. Definitely reccomend.

Delicious- homemade soups, pastries, toasties and cakes, loads of flavour and made fresh. I had Italian sardines on toast with proper fresh grilled sardines on really hearty dark bread. They had some vegan and GF options. Nice relaxed, homely vibe, would come again!

I'm no stranger to the area but my wife has never been before. We called into the cafe and had a lovely meal. This area is one of the most scenic areas I've been and I've travelled the uk. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited Clun yesterday and had lunch here. Great little cafe, so friendly welcoming and good selection of foods and drinks to choose from. Really special calming vibe in the cafe. Everyone visiting had a few words with others in there and feels heart of the community. Also sell local art, old vinyls, clothing, cards etc. definitely worth a visit, and curb appeal too. Will take the detour via Clun again on our way to Wales. Blossom is currently out too- very pretty place is Clun with a couple of little shops and castle remains too.

What a welcome, friendly humans serving 5 star homemade food, cheerful interesting eclectic ambience, clean, down to earth cafe that every budget or culinary experience would feel right at home. This owner has got it right. Clun village and surrounds can be explored, but visit the castle ruins and dine here. Dogs catered for, a few outdoor tables, they'll wrap something to take home no problem. We'll done.

Wonderful food in a very quaint and homely atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon tea.

This cafe is a little gem, amazing staff, excellent food and great service. A must-visit if you are passing through Clun. You won’t be disappointed.

What a lovely little cafe to find, lots of things to look at inside. Dog friendly which was nice with water on offer. My partner had smoked salmon on sough dough with lots of other ingredients in it. I had a cheese an mushroom toastie that was gorgeous. We had a pot of fruit tea an then had the most amazing home made cakes to finish. Would highly recommend a visit.

A quirky building in a picturesque setting in Clun. Lovely host, very nice cafetière of coffee and a sample of cake. The cafe is situated adjacent to the old, single carriageway stone bridge, not far from the ruins of the castle. We caught them just before they closed up for the day but they made us feel very welcome after a busy bank holiday weekend. We were given a sample of the host’s most unusual signature cake, ginger and turmeric; a lovely colour, the earthiness of the turmeric coming through with chunks of stem ginger - you could almost feel it doing you good!

Really pleased we found this spot! Great cafe, amazing scones - recommend the ginger one!! Definitely going to come back!

After a long cycle ride we came to this lovely cafe I had sardines on homemade brown bread with tomatoes and spinach with plenty of olive oil which was excellent along with the coffee Look forward to returning soon

One of my favourite cafes. A quaint cafe in the beautiful village of Clun offering lovely meals and cakes with very helpful and welcoming staff.

A great Café stop for any cyclists (or non-cyclists) in the area. We had a brace of Sara’s Samosas and a piece of Jo’s Ginger and Turmeric Cake between us and an Americano a piece. The quality was top-drawer. We sat outside and enjoyed watching the enormous tractor/trailer rigs bringing in the hay bales and navigating the tiny hump-backed bridge immediately outside the Café.

Very nice cafe with super friendly staff. Delicious three malted bread and scones. Great place to have a tea next to the river

the food here was amazing ..we had soup and bread ... real dark brown bread and delicious home made soup and the staff couldnt have been nicer .., i bought a cute dress too as they have vintage clothing and paintings for sale ,, great vibe

Wonderful little cafe by the bridge in Clun just a few yards from the Castle car park. My partner had a gorgeous soup with the most amazing dark bread - so tasty - and I had a chorizo sausage roll with a lovely chutney. For dessert we had local ice cream and I had a scrumptious cappuccino cake with a lush coffee sauce. The coffee was excellent too. Service was very friendly and swift. Thoroughly recommend this little haven.

Wonderful unique cafe serving home made cakes and fresh food made to order . Lovely friendly staff with the bonus of vintage clothes , books and art for sale making this a great place to stop for a cuppa or lunch .

Charming and quirky place. Lovely rustic food. Delightful and caring staff. A bit of a trick to the loo a minor inconvenience!

Excellent venue, very welcoming and personable, quality of coffee and cakes second to none. A genuine oasis.

Popped in today for a snack and honestly I was shocked. We ordered a ham and cheese sandwich, a ham and cheese toaster and 2 coffees and it came to £16.75. Although we were shocked my partner said it must be because it’s superb quality food. Unfortunately it wasn’t. My toastie was lovely and hot BUT you could not taste the cheese. It was very mild. My partners sandwich was awful. The slab of cheese on the sandwich was practically a brick and also only had one slice of ham and the bread was very normal and dry. The coffee was delicious. For that price I honestly expected maybe locally produce cheese and ham with much better taste. While waiting for our food I notice the staff bickering and being told to communicate better before taking the food out to people. Atmosphere was very uncomfortable and we will not be going back again.

Brilliant cafe!! Super friendly, cosey, quirky and also very very good food - all home made - we had delicious samosas follwed by some of the nicest carrot cake I have ever had.... and the coffee was really good (I am fussy about coffee!). The...

Visited this gem of a cafe today after a walk round Clun Castle. Two ladies serving were so pleasant, cake & coffee were amazing! Quirky atmosphere with lovely chilled background music! Thank you! We'll definitely be back

Fantastic little cafe. Wonderful gf cake and amazing range of local ice creams, soups and toasties!! Parking over the road

A very quirky cafe, with lots of old books and LP’s, plus paintings, etc, on the walls. The good part was the cake, which was lovely, but the 2 staff seemed to be having a bad day and were having constant disagreements behind the counter....

Today we were lucky enough to find The Postcard Cafe :-) An absolute gem of a place. Lovely Joanna serving up delicious food, drinks and amazing cakes all with the most welcoming and homely atmosphere! So very kind to our little girls who enjoyed drawing...

We had coffee and cake and it was very nice. Great location right by the bridge and not far from the castle. The last time I was there the very nice lady gave my 5 year old grandson an ice cream as they weren't open...

We visited twice whilst on holiday nearby - good coffee ,pleasant staff and tasty cakes and snacks .It was delightful to enjoy the fare whilst sitting by the river on a sunny afternoon .

We walked into this cafe after being caught in torrential rain. The owner made it clear that we were welcome despite our wet clothes and sodden rucksack which were making her floor very wet. There was a range of delicious cakes to choose from; the...

Great cakes and friendly service in a beautiful location. I asked them to make my husband's favourite carrot cake for his birthday and it was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Amazing place, incredible menu, beautiful food 😋 was undecided as still quite early (11:30am) but so glad I stopped, definitely on my " must return " list, thank you

Quirky is a word I've seen in another review, and this seems fitting, in a very good way. So good to experience independent non- High Street food. No lattes, flat whites or cappuccino - just a cafetiere of black coffee, with milk provided if you...

We've passed by The Postcard Cafe a number of times over the years, having visited the area but favouring places like Ludlow. However, it seems we have been missing out all this time! Having made the decision to pop into Clun for a more sedate...

We had tea and carrot cake, sat by the river on a beautiful summer's afternoon. The cake, the tea and the view were perfect. The staff are charming and polite. Quintessentially English in a beautiful way...

As a large family we ordered takeaway hot drinks, ice creams and food. The staff were efficient and friendly. We ate our feast by the river as the children paddled.

Lovely cafe in the centre of Clun with creative items for sale. Very popular & right by the river. Although the food is quality, I do think seven quid for a cup of tea & a buttered scone is beyond some people's price range. The...

Not your usual type of cafe, some interesting food choices. Had sandwich, lovely cheese and ham roll and side salad, loved the carrot with a dressing ! Quirky little place, had a good browse through the postcards etc whilst waiting for our food. Lovely cakes...

Clun is a delightful little town that some regard as the quietest place in the country. The old packhorse Bridge over the river is idyllic and the location of the cafe in the Old Post office next to it is perfect. However, surely no scones,...

Quirky little place. Staff friendly and very accommodating with my food sensativity issues. We had the platters around £13. Mine was fine.My husband wasn't keen on the fruity dressings which were on a lot of the dishes Would have been better leaving them for the...

I went to the postcard cafe and ordered some cakes, as I waited I browsed all the interesting postcards and artwork they had. I was soon served by a handsome young man with a smile who had presented my food so well that I didn’t...

Enjoyed several visits over a week. The staff/owners were very friendly and the food and coffee were delicious. I enjoyed the samosas and a slice of Italian Lemon Cake. My wife loved the Bengal spiced tea and when she asked about it, the kind lady...

Stopped off in Clun, and need a break, this quaint cafe is dog friendly, the staff friendly, and good selection of food. Spanish sausage roll was delicious, as was the scone. Recommend.

This cafe was absolutely awful. The service was really slow. You order x and you get delivered y. I have given the cafe a chance on numerous occasions but never again,

Love this place. Does amazing snacks and cake. Lovely to sit outside by the river on a warm day. Not to be missed.

We sat outside and had coffee and a cake after visiting the castle. Service was pleasant and there was an interesting menu but I couldn’t resist the coffee and walnut cake. Absolutely superb and delicious cake! Nice coffee too and a very pleasant place to...

Unusual cafe serving coffee, cakes, baguettes, sausage rolls etc. Lemon cake was lovely, but the "Spanish" sausage roll, which had a few small pieces of chorizo in it, was served cold. Waitress didn't seem particularly friendly, and I didn't feel I could ask for it...

We came across this wonderful cafe when nearing the end of our holiday, but still managed to fit in two visits! The food is delicious, so tasty and a very welcome change from the usual boring generic food so many cafes seem to think is...

This is a gem, charming, quirky, engaging, delicious cakes, cracking coffee. The staff were lovely, interesting people. The location is beautiful, ancient stone bridge, river, castle (all be it in need of modernisation). We’ll be back.

Lovely food - samosas in a very interesting building in the delightful village of Clun Excellent food and good coffee.

Visited by picking a random nearby town with a castle...well, what a find! Not only castle ruins to wander around, but brilliant town all round ( recommended a peek at the big church on the hill up the road ftom the cafe too)) Anyway...the cafe...

We stopped here unexpectedly and what a find! We decided to have the pork pie sharing platter. Lovely fresh pork pie (so big we saved some for the following days lunch!) Sausage roll, cheese, grated carrot/beetroot, ham, cheese and bread. It was lovely. We sat...

We stopped for coffee and cake. There is a great choice of homemade cakes and the staff are very friendly. We sampled the coffee and walnut and lemon cake, with a large cafetiere of coffee. A lovely place to stop for refreshments. We also bought...

I was lured in by the tempting sound of Turmeric and Ginger cake. However, it was a shock to find it was £4.50 a slice! I ended up sharing some with my companion. Why on earth are the prices so steep? Honestly, it just wasn’t...

I am a regular customer at the cafe. The staff is very friendly and they always go the extra mile. I always recommend it to people visiting. Awesome!

Had the most delicious cream tea and coffee here today, with hands down the most beautiful, freshly baked, homemade scone I have ever had ( and I’ve had a few) ! Served with homemade jam and thick luscious cream with a fresh strawberry on top...

We have never been to a cafe that sells old postcards before but you will be delighted with the food and cakes. We had a Turmeric Ginger cake made with stem ginger, olive oil (so vegan), pine nuts and sesame seeds, and wow!

Lovely cafe by river. Very friendly and delicious breakfadt toasted sandwiches, coffee and cakes. Thoroughly recommend.

We stopped here whilst on a drive around the beautiful Shropshire countryside. It's in a lovely village next to a bridge overlooking a river. The food that was coming out looked great but we were only stopping for an ice cream. The menu looked exciting...

With a few antique books there to purchase if thats your thing. Ice-creams in little tubs really tasty,also looked like a good selection of fresh cakes!

we arrived as a large group , as large as permitted atm. and were served quickly with great coffee and superb cakes. The coffee and walnut is the best I've had in Shropshire, and I've eaten it in most of the county's cafes on my...

Such a beautifully decorated cafe with a warm atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious coffee (and excellent cake). So pleasantly surprised to find such a place in a small village, always a joy to visit!

Such a lovely find after a walk with my family, we had some delicious food and a really nice coffee, and the service was lovely. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again!

Popped in for a cuppa and an amazing carrot cake served with fresh mascarpone cream. Delicious. Lovely place, half curiosity shop, half cafe. Also bought a lovely sandstone carved hare reasonably priced. Give it a go next time you're in the area.

Stopped here for a pre walk coffee and cake. Very interesting place with a massive collection of post cards and other curiosities for sale as well as quality cake and coffee. Recommend this place for both cake and light meals

We had savoury snacks and then cakes. Couldn’t fault anything. Lovely little spot by the river too. Easy parking for cafe and castle

Postcard Cafe situated close to the river and car park. A quirky little cafe that welcomed us with delicious food and a friendly smile. We were going to sit outside with our dogs but instead invited to sit inside with them . A lovely touch!...

An afternoon visit to Clun was made all the more memorable by a visit to the Postcard tea rooms. Friendly and relaxed in an interesting setting with lots to look at while being served excellent cafe style food. Just over a single hump back bridge...

Just the thing after a long walk over Black hill, A wonderful selection of cakes, we both loved our selection; accompanied by delicious tea. We sat outside with a lovely view of the river. A must, if you are in Clun.

Very friendly welcome on a wet day, excellent service, fabulous food especially the samosas. We thoroughly recommend The Postcard.

We had a nice walk from Chapel Lawn to Clun and had tea and cake at the Post Card Café to finish off a wonderful day. Very good service and delicious cakes. The carrot cake with mascarpone cream was exceptional. Thank you.

We stopped for a delightful tea and cake at the Postcard cafe and sat for a while on the seats by the bridge watching the world go by - not much world appeared in this peaceful spot! As a former stamp collector I enjoyed looking...

We stopped here while visiting Clun. Great little place with room to sit outside overlooking the pretty river and bridge. Amazing scone, jam and cream and my hubby loved the sausage roll. Would highly recommend a stop off here. Felt COVID safe. No menus -...

Great little cafe, well situated by the town bridge. Cakes, coffee and somosas all excellent. Nice place to sit outside in the sunshine and watch the world go by.

What a fabulous place, stopped here twice whilst enjoying a recent holiday in the area. Absolutely yummy cakes & the vegan samosas were so delicious we had to take some home with us. Such warm friendly people running it too Definitely a must visit again...

Dropped into this wonderful place for a vogue and ended up having an early lunch! Fabulous Italian coffee, home made cakes and scones ( and jam) but the best samosas I’ve tasted in a long time and these are home made too. A treat not...

Stopped by after a walk, sat outside to watch the world go by next to Clun Bridge. We had a lovely pot if tea, and gorgeous cake ( 1 carrot, 1 walnut). Took some Samosas to go , for later, they smell fab,can't wait to...

What an absolute gem of a cafe! Visited after a rather soggy walk around Clun Castle for a very welcome coffee and cake break. The coffee was excellent, the homemade coffee and walnut cake is highly recommended and it was no bother to the owners...

Excellent homemade cakes and refreshing tea. A lovely place to visit, very friendly and welcoming staff. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

Delightfully quirky place, friendly and helpful staff, lots of interesting postcards to browse through whilst eating their delicious home made cakes. They also catered for my dairy free requirements.
