The Taste of Shrewsbury won the award for Best Bacon Sandwich in Town (2025), and I suspect it will hold on to the trophy for 2026. It’s the abundance of local-sourced back bacon served in a bread/baguette of your choosing.
The owner and staff are genuine and delightful, and the entire establishment is an antidote to national chain cafés. ToS kindly hosts and supports a number of groups and societies which meet at the venue due to a thoroughly-deserved outstanding reputation. Due to the exterior tables and serving rooms on three floors, each member of the service team clocks-up, on average, 19km of steps during a typical working day. It is the healthiest place to work in Shrewsbury.
According to the British Meteorological Society it is unlikely to be gloriously sunny when you visit, but don’t despair if it is inappropriate to sit outside, as the beauty is in the upper rooms. Proceed to the ground-floor service counter and ascend the stairs at the back to the olde worlde, oak-panelled room, overlooking Mardol. It’s the hidden tearoom that will make your visit to Shrewsbury memorable.
Take-away deserts are popular and unique with a special line in meringues and local, one-off delicacies that jump out at you. Why, only today, there was a ‘Biscoff chocolate blondie’ with my name written all over it.
Background music in a café is always slightly too loud or too quiet or talking in a busy venue can be difficult. Not so at ToS. I don’t know what mystical setting they use, but it is perfect. Maybe the oak-panelling acts as studio-like frequency soundproofing.
It is always a pleasure to visit Taste of Shrewsbury.

Really good food and reasonable price.
On this occasion service was a little slow but everything fine once order had been taken. Would recommend to all and will definitely return.

Good clean breakfast… Wasn’t too pleased to be ejected from my seat to make way for an apparent reservation. They really need to put reserved markers on tables. Incidentally I’d ordered ,eaten my food and the so called reserved table was still empty when I left. I hope for the sake of the cafe the people that reserved the table spend £15 like I do every time I’ve popped in. No worries I’ve found a different cafe now. Petty but I can only vote with my feet. I don’t believe this would have happened if the usual woman was working that day.

What an amazing venue! This was the second coffee house we visited on Saturday — another English establishment proudly celebrating Christmas with festive music and decorations. It instantly lifted our spirits and made our whole group feel welcome and appreciated. As we all live in cities, it was wonderful to see a place confidently embracing our culture and traditions.
This was also the only venue in Shrewsbury that allowed me to make a booking rather than relying on walk-ins, which was a huge plus. The host even arranged for us to have The Loft room, giving us privacy, space to relax, and the ability to play our own music. A brilliant touch.
The genuine kindness from the staff and the personable service were truly exceptional. And the food — wow. Absolutely outstanding, generous portions, and paired beautifully with fantastic mulled wine and great coffee. We loved every moment here and will definitely be returning.
Shrewsbury keeps surprising us in the best possible way. Its independent shops and strong sense of English heritage are something to be proud of. In fact, several people in my group said they now want to move to Shrewsbury simply because of places like this and the uniquely English feel of the town.
Thank you to the entire team — you were incredible!

We arrived not long after opening this morning-
The welcoming friendly staff, the great coffee, stunning old building ( upstairs) and the breakfast were all absolutely great.
Great vegetarian and vegan options for us.
Well worth a visit.
We’ll be back next time we’re in Shrewsbury

My friend and I visited Taste today for a coffee and snack. It’s a great place, good atmosphere, lovely selection of salad, cakes, paninis, sandwiches etc, all freshly made. The staff are very friendly and obviously love what they do. We will definitely be going back and would highly recommend.

We have been regulars here for over 5 years and we always love the amazing lunches. Their jacket potatoes in particular can’t be beaten!. Their paninis are delicious, especially the sesame bread. So many different drinks choices. Their cakes and tray bakes are all freshly made and yummy. The staff are always extremely friendly and greet you with a smile. If you like architecture then going and sitting in the main restaurant area upstairs is highly recommended as it’s a very old building with all original wood features which adds to the cosey atmosphere.

A specially commissioned Seafood Chowder for me and my team. An amazing treat and they really pulled it out of the hat. I know it’s tricky making non-veggie food when you are small cafe trying to please them all, all the time. This was top-notch though. Thanks Mark and the team.

I went in early morning to get a hot chocolate to have whilst doing some Christmas shopping. The girl who was serving me (unsure of her name) was so lovely and personable. She was asking me about my day and easily struck up conversation. There was a lovely feel in there despite it being early morning and I would definitely return again when in Shrewsbury
