The place has a great feeling about it as soon as you walk in, the waiting on staff are impeccably dressed and nothing is too much trouble. The inside of the cafe is just as impressive as on the outside, with the walls clad in dark wood, adorned with the occasional historical picture or tapestry. It is quite a spacious place, with a good variety of tables and seating, for smaller and larger parties; a minibus load of people came in when we were there. Menu wise, a huge variety from the homemade cakes like Bara brith, Millionaires Shortbread, Victoria Sponge, that sat temptingly in glass domes on a sideboard near to our table, to snacks like toast, sandwiches, teacakes etc. There was also a comprehensive range of cooked meals, like lasagne, chilli etc. Drinks wise, again a vast range of speciality teas, coffees and wine. Pity it was only mid-morning when we visited or we might have been tempted to sample more than just toast off the menu! As you go to pay there is a whole counter full of homemade chocolates and sweets too including sugared pigs!

The rest of the party enjoyed their meals too. Reasonably priced. Cons: No gluten/dairy free choices in the cake section. - Still most cafes do not cater for GF - why I cannot imagine as there are many many people who have GF diets these days. Cash only - they do not take cards.

Right in the centre of Lichfield is the Coffee House, modern…read morefurnishings and luxuriant leather sofas, were plentiful, which made for a very relaxing environment. We only really stopped for a mid-morning coffee, but the cakes looked so tempting you have to give them a try. The chocolate and carrot cakes were both generous in size and flavour, as was the coffee. All the crockery was branded with the logo of the Coffee House, which was a nice touch. Watching the Olympic rowing on the HDTV they had, drinking strong coffee and eating great cake, was a good way to start the day.

There are a lot of cafes in Lichfield and I'm attempting to make my way around them all. The best…read morepart about visiting Comfortin' Food was Tom the Tea Man who lounged in my mug and came with instructions. Plus, I decided that Tom deserved a star as without him Comfortin' Food would have been awarded three stars. I went in search of breakfast which allowed you to pick a certain number of items off the menu depending on how hungry you were feeling. This is great as it allows you to choose what you want and in the case of eggs, you can choose how they are cooked. I had a very well poached egg which I enjoyed and the breakfast was good overall. Ordering a vegetarian sausage can be risky and on this occasion, I was not a fan. However, there is such a range of other items on offer that you could avoid them and not be disappointed. Comfortin' Food offers a range of lunches and cakes plus a variety of specials. The cakes looked very tasty so I will have to go back to sample some so that I can improve this review! I may even go when the sun is shining so that I can sit in the outside seating area for some al fresco dining.

Although The Food Room is a little out of the way, away from the main run of shops and restaurants…read morein Lichfield, it is a place that dishes out decent quality sandwiches, baguettes and soups. There is space in the small building to seat a select few guests. The seating is fairly basic but once a few people are sitting around you the atmosphere quickly perks up. The service can range quite widely but is usually fairly personable. The staff are always efficient despite the rather large queues that occur most lunchtimes. The food is good quality. There is a set menu of sandwiches and baguettes as well as a chalk board of specials that is changed most weeks. Baguettes are cooked on the premises and the sandwich fillings are imaginative and tasty. Price-wise, the baguettes are above average but the difference in taste is worth the extra fee pennies. Overall, The Food Room is a great small-business success story for the City of Lichfield. The staff work hard to deliver consistently fresh and high quality food. The recently-installed fittings give the place a more upmarket feel and underline how this place genuinely differs from the mainstream run of the mill sandwich outlets. The Food Room's steady queues of followers each lunchtime are testimony enough of the quality here.
