Nan's Cafe Bar is a cosy Cafe with a good range of dishes including some lovely omelette choices. Home made milk shakes are available along with tea and coffee. The staff are efficient and the place is well supported by local people. On appropriate days tables and chairs are available for eating and drinking outside on the pavement, often on a Sunday morning Cycling Clubs congregate at Nan's for a break on their rides. Nan's provides a real focal point in Shifnal.

Wonderful little cafe-bar in the heart of Shifnal. Only popped into Nan’s on the off chance but I’m very glad I did, found a gem of a place. Only had time for a tea and a cake, I’ll definitely be back to sample more of the menu and I’ll have to learn the recipe and method for their amazing Victoria sponge cake.

We usually find the best cafe on the last day of our stay on short breaks, this time we found it first day; only to find they closed that day before I was going to be hungry again, with worse to come. We went Sunday morning and they don't open Monday or Tuesday; you guessed it, we went home Tuesday! They had such a magnificent array of home made cake, I had my heart set on sampling at least one later that day, only to be crushed by opening hours. However, that did not detract from the great full English, very tasty, sausage, bacon and black pud; not overly greasy but it wouldn't take much more to reach that point, but you can't have a fry up without it being fried in something. Even better, they serve whole tinned plum tomatoes with their breakfasts; I can't be doing with 'grilled tomatoes that are nearer raw than grilled and tinned tomato tastes of my childhood and youth. But the most striking thing about the place was the happy, chatty banter staff had with local and visiting customers; very welcoming. 'Dog friendly' was the criteria put in our Google search; so friendly I was worried Bob (the dog) was going to be kidnapped. He was greeted with gravy bones, paid lots of attention, and fussed before every hand wash. If we're ever in the area again, I have some unfinished business with some home made cakes

Cracking little cafe that does the basics well. Although you can get salmon for breakfast to. Staff are great and have a laugh. Dog friendly and cyclist more than welcome. I enjoy an English breakfast and for me it's one of the best. Small place, worth booking on Thursdays and the weekend but you can just turn up.
