The Three Spires Coffee Shop is a nice, small cafe in the middle of the city centre of the UK's second smallest city (now you can rock that question at pub quiz). Within walking distance of Lichfield Cathedral, the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and Erasmus Darwin's House, the Three Spires is a perfect place to duck into to enjoy a quick bite.
Lichfield, a tourist attraction due to the above attractions, and also the Lichfield Garrick and the Festival held every summer, can get really packed and crowded on the weekends, and most of the main restaurants and pubs get really crowded. The Three Spires is slightly tucked away from it all and always has a relaxed atmosphere.
The food is very fresh, very nicely cooked and always has its own unique twist on classic themes (e.g., eggs and bacon in a baguette for breakfast). The coffee is really outstanding, freshly made, with beans ground on site, and lots of syrups and extras.
There isn't much seating -- probably only 8 tables in the place, but you can also take their food away, and on dry days, you can use their seating outside.
The staff are very friendly, always willing to help you to an enormous slice of their freshly baked (on-site!) delicious array of cakes, and bring your food to your table politely.
They also offer free Wi Fi, so you can browse while you eat your watercress and mango chutney sandwich? Not sound like your thing? Pick a combo from the menu then, and away you go! read more
