    This was a little gem on the high street of Shirley I came across while looking for scones! They…read moreroast their own coffee beans and the place just smelt divine! The owner was super nice and loved my kinda American accent even though he thought I was Australian at first..lol.. I asked if they had scones and he said yes! With clotted cream and jam and fresh strawberries he asked....yes ! I said. Perfect mid morning snack in England. It looked amazing and boy have I missed these . I also got a nice cappuccino made with their mild roast and it was so perfectly brewed. I should be having tea with a scone but I could pass up the freshness of the coffee The scone was delicious, the cream was nice and rich and the jam was not jelly! I loved the fresh strawberries on top too. Ate every bit of this up. The Brit's do scones the best. The cafe was a lovely local place with a nice breakfast menu with basics and some other desserts. Just a lovely place to get a strong brew and a traditional scone! Just what I was looking for.

    The Coffee Roaster in Shirley is my stand out place for a late cooked breakfast on the weekend…read more The food is always excellent and although it looks small from the outside it is a bit of a tardis once you get in so you won't struggle to find a table. It is pretty cosy inside but that adds to the charm. As the name suggests the coffee is wonderful as well. I've visited for afternoon tea and cake too which were great value. The business also provides a tea and coffee emporium stocking everything for the caffeine lover. The extra friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you decide on the perfect coffee bean for you and then grind to take away. They also have a car park to the rear which is extremely helpful when driving to Shirely.

    The service was mediocre and the food, doubly so. The coffee was tasteful but a bit too sharp for…read moremy liking, the cakes tasted mostly of gelatine and sugar, but the hot panini I ordered did actually taste pretty good. However it was served on a long and thin plate, which was 100% form over function as it clattered into the adjacent plates when I tried to eat from it. Regardless of my gripes, there did seem to be quite a lot of people around ingesting either food or liquid of some sort, so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about. Or, which I think is probably more fitting, perhaps Costa was full, Starbucks was too far away, they didn't know about the other quiet little coffee & cake places (near the Council House entrance to Touchwood, for example) and, well, the money in their pocket was equal to or greater than the thing they wanted to put in their mouth, so they just sat down and did what they wanted to. The environment is noisy (it's slapped in the main junction of the two main arteries of Touchwood, so that's a given), the product is only slightly above average, and the service isn't anything to write home about. Why not leave this overpriced pinnacle of mediocrity and go and find something a bit more comfortable? (Bike parking is very close-by, near the revolving doors that take you to the Council House)

    So I would't normally eat and drink my coffee in a shopping centre but I was in a mad rush. I am…read moreglad I did because this place was great. The coffee was fresh and nicely presented (not silky microfoam with beautiful latte art but far from the overly boild froth that we endure in most chains). Their speciality is all things chocolate and it looks amazing but I didn't partake knowing Christmas is just a few weeks away). I am a fussy so and so not liking mayo or cheese and all sorts of things. The staff were lovely and make things up fresh so I had a yummy pulled pork panini (not too sweet or vinegary) with slaw and crisps and salad plus my coffee for £4.95. My food arrived in under 5 minutes. Don't be fooled by the picture. There was a whole panini, I just couldn't wait and ate half instantly. I will most likely nip in here again next time I shop. Probably for wafflea and a belgian chocolate mocha when I am already fat from Christmas.
