    Cafe on the Cop - top quality teacakes. AND LOOK AT THAT BUTTER

    Cafe on the Cop

    Stopped in here for a drink on a day out with my mom and sisters. We just ordered drinks, and…read moredrooled over the beautiful baked goods in the window. The staff were very friendly and quick to serve us. My mom needed the toilet and they let her use the facilities, which she greatly appreciated!

    I came here to give them ONE star because, frankly, NO TOILET!…read more I believe than any place serving food and drinks shouldn't be allowed to operate without toilet facilities. The waitress was very apologetic, but that doesn't change the fact that NO TOILET was available on the premises. The waitress *cheerfully* told me they couldn't let me use the loo as I "would have to pass through the kitchen" (the kitchen being entirely OPEN to the restaurant; I could see the whole thing from where I stood, including the door to the lavatory I wasn't allowed to use) and suggested a hotel located a bit up the hill where I would be welcomed to use the loo. Right-o. What do you do if you're pregnant and need to go quite often? Or if you're elderly/disabled and don't really fancy leaving your meal behind to do a little bit of hiking (it's not next door, btw) on a full bladder? Or if your child has an "accident"? You leave your breakfast congealing on the table and do the walk of shame up the hill with your screaming, soiled kid in tow, to waste resources at someone else's business? Who thought that was an acceptable solution? Honeypie, I'm sitting on your establishment and putting money on your tills; you will offer me a freaking piss0ir or I will be offering my custom elsewhere - and if there's one thing Shrewsbury isn't short of are cafés and tearooms. Little rant over. Sorry. That said. I'll give another couple of stars for the absolutely STELLAR teacake I had there. Irritated due to the NO TOILET situation, I forgot to request for it to be brought already buttered and feared for the worst: tepid teacake + rock solid butter that would never melt. Ok, I did get the butter on the side, BUT the big, fat teacake I received was burning hot (literally, I couldn't even hold it), the butter was at the perfect temperature and there was *lots* of it. We managed to drench two sets of teacakes in butter using only half of one portion. All my thumbs up. My other friend ordered cake. She declared it "just ok". I didn't try, but I will say that even though the slice was so huge it was borderline comic, it wasn't so enticing looks wise. I *might* be a bit of a cake snob, yes, but I can usually tell if a cake is good just by looking at the texture. And those looked like hard polenta. A pity, since it's a (very) well served portion. And the coffee is great - as in, not bitter. Bitterness also absent from service; apart from that ludicrous suggestion, I was treated with kindness by a smiling staff. But shall I remind you again? NO. TOILET. Really.
