The name of this cafe is Express Cafe and the service is truly what you'd expect with a cafe with such a name. You will not be disappointed!

The shop is amazing, almost like stepping back in time. The shop has an excellent range of sandwiches and rolls, they offer combinations of food, as well as design your own sandwich. This is the store that first introduced me to Banana, brown sugar and walnut rolls.....10 yeras later, I still love them. As well as sandwiches, and rolls they also sell drinks, soup, cake and crisps. This should be the top on everyones list.

The menu has a lot of choices. If you are looking for tea, coffee or scones with clotted cream and jam, this is the place. If you want soup (tomato, minestrone, mushroom, carrot) or Beef and ale stew then you will be happy too. They also have paninis and many bakery and dessert items (even milkshakes). The staff were very friendly too. Great views of the bridge from inside windows or from the patio. The price was fair and as you would expect. I definitely would return if in the area

Best bacon I've had on a breakfast in a long time! We fancied a no frills breakfast on a cold rainy…read moreday so we headed here- It's tiny inside, with 3 small tables and friendly yellow walls. The kitchen ìs open and bustling, and there were clearly people in their who come every weekend. Eat in or takeaway, with space outside to eat too, breakfast on a sunny day in the summer would be lovely. They have vegetarian options of different sizes too, and plenty of sandwich options. The cakes in the cabinet looked fabulous too (and I heard mention of lemon meringue) Our standard full English was just over £7, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, egg, beans, tinned tomato, mushrooms, black pudding, toast, inclusive of tea, coffee, orange or apple juice, and we added a hash brown for good measure. I do like a fresh tomato, but the tinned were still nice ones, and my only issue would be that I like my black pudding crisper, but other than that, seriously good, it really ticked all of the boxes!

Been there 3 times in the last 4 weeks as I am working in the area, it is a little out of the way…read morefor me but the reviews looked good. It was closed on the first 2 times I tried when it said on their site it was or should have been open! I went again last Friday after checking they were open. They were not serving breakfasts for some reason even though they were serving breakfast sandwiches! Same ingredients but you can only have them in a sandwich, ridiculous in my opinion. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with sausage, bacon and egg, they said there would be a wait of about 15 minutes (in fact it was 23). When the sandwich arrived it was ok but in a huge doorstep of bread which was almost impossible to chew through so I had to tip out the contents onto the plate anyway. Tasted ok but nothing special. Coffee was ok but nothing special, they have a roaster and make their own coffee so I was expecting better. Would certainly recommend phoning this place first to see whether they are open and what they are serving if you are looking forward to a breakfast as I was. If you are driving around the area the cafe in Broseley is is only about an 8 minute drive, you can park there easily, the food is good and cheaper with fast no nonsense service.

Ginger and Green was one of my top foodie finds on my recent trip to Shropshire. Having just…read morearrived in Church Stretton and looking for a quick bite to eat before an afternoon walk, we perused the high street for something appealing. G&G really stood out as a large modern cafe with a nice vibe and plenty of homemade dishes using locally sourced ingredients. G&G specialise in high quality tea and coffee, all blended and ground in the UK and available for purchase if you enjoy. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his coffee, but I unfortunately didn't get to try the tea as I was craving for a cold drink. However, it was the food that blew me away. By no means fancy or posh, it's just honest, homemade delights such as quiches, sausage rolls, paninis and sandwiches. I went for the quiche special which was leek and goats cheese. It was truly delicious and served with a perfectly dressed salad and homemade coleslaw. The other half had the sausage roll which was also good but didn't stop him repeatedly trying to steal my lunch! Service was quick and friendly and I cannot recommend this place highly enough for anyone passing through the delightful village of Church Stretton.

A sign outside welcomes walkers, of which many came in during the time we were there. Boards at the back advertise the multitude of coffees and teas on offer, as well as tempting you with fantastic looking cakes on the counter. It was mid-afternoon, so sadly we were too late for the wonderful variety of quiches and sausage rolls on offer, so we opted for the coffee and cake option. The staff were enthusiastic about their trade and the whole café had a great atmosphere. Between us we had a piece of carrot cake, and a white chocolate and hazelnut brownie, a wonderfully moist carrot cake and rich earthy brownie, good stuff. My americano made with Lazy José coffee beans had a nice mellow after taste, but unfortunately my wife's cappuccino was too milky, more like a latte. Still a minor quibble for a great place to wile an hour on a summer's afternoon.
