The best restaurants in West Midlands

There are many independent coffee places now in Shrewsbury so it hard to choose. I chose this one simply from the word Cakery in their name. I had a double espresso and treated my self to a dlicious looking sausage roll. The coffee passed all my tests. It was tasty, the right amount was served and they supplied a coffee spoon, not a teaspoon. The sausage roll was tasty too but I am not sure if it was made on the premises or bought in. The only thing I would criticise is the basic furniture but they have made the best of what limited space there is. It is off the beaten track a bit but I would recommend it heartily and I'll make a return visit the next time I'm in the town.

Great staff by colmore row. Always so kind and friendly. The falafel is always fresh, hot and the same great quality. Definitely worth visiting regularly

Amazing food and the staff were amazing helping us celebrate our daughters birthday, nothing was to much for them. Wings, Burgers and fries were all to die for, definitely going back!! 😋

Local cafe with good food. You can have your own tailor made order, can choose any combination of food. They deliver locally, always on time. If they expect it will be a longer wait, they will tell you. Perfect food. Recommened

We visited Black Orange on the strength of the reviews on Google and Trip Advisor when searching for the “best places for coffee in Solihull”, and I’m pleased to report that the reviews are accurate! It’s just off Mell Square, almost opposite where the street entrance to M&S used to be. The website looks like it’s under construction as it doesn’t have much information, which is a shame, as having a few photos on there would certainly encourage more people to find it, but don’t let that put you off. We were both impressed with how pleasant it is in there. There are a couple of tables outside on the pavement, where I sat and waited for my friend to arrive, and then we ordered and sat upstairs and the drinks were brought up to us. All staff members were smiley, very polite, friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, including some bottled drinks in the fridge, and they have a range of fruit teas including peach tea and even some more unusual Thai flavours. We had a latte and a decaf flat white, both were well presented in glass cups, served on cork mats. Both the caffeinated and the decaf coffees looked and tasted lovely with no bitterness and no need for sugar. We were so comfortable that we stayed for a second drink, and this time I had the frappe matcha latte and a traditional bun with butter, which was served warm. It was nice, like a sweet tasting bread and the butter had melted inside. There is a nice selection of savoury snacks and desserts and I have already decided that I will try the mango cheesecake next time. The reviews are right, it is immaculately clean, the atmosphere is busy but chilled, and it was a very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours. There was some tasteful background music, which added to the ambience without being obtrusive, being played on good quality speakers which sounded great. There was a steady stream of customers, of mostly young couples with one or two well behaved children. I could be mistaken, but there doesn’t appear to be a lift to access the upper level, and there are some bar stools in the window downstairs, and so it’s not particularly pushchair- or wheelchair- friendly, unless you sit at the tables outside. I like to support independent businesses and this one does a great job of looking after its customers. I definitely recommend it and will happily return. Thank you!

Great pub that doesn't show up on Google Maps in Minsterley. We called in here on the off chance of some food after being turned away from the Nags Head in Pontesbury for having 2 dogs and not 1, bizarre!! So glad the Nags Head turned us away, the welcome received here was fantastic, by all staff. More importantly the food and drink was both a lot more reasonable and faultless in quality, thank you so much the staff of the Crown and Sceptre for giving us a great eating out experience!!

I visited Trof many times and have always had an incredibly positive experience. The breakfast and brunch is delicious and the coffee is good. The staff for all very lovely and incredibly friendly. This is my number one breakfast and brunch spot in Leamington spa.

The food was great but the service not so. We ordered our food and as per normal the mains came out before the starters were finished, this has happened previously but the difference this time is that my wife received her food (sushi roll) after we had finished our food, even though we had asked three or four times where her food was. Totally spoilt the meal.

A working farm in glorious surroundings. Clean rustic surroundings + a friendly atmosphere. Food is non pretentious, fresh, good portion sizes, & well prepared. Staff are attentive & efficient without being intrusive. We visit frequently & never disappointed.

Visited following a recommendation and needed to cool down after a long day in the heat. Great selection of ice cream and sorbet. We had the sorbet and was very tasty and refreshing. Service was friendly and price was reasonable

A very friendly and inviting atmosphere. Laughed all evening, very welcoming andbanterous local pub. Also dog friendly
