Shame it’s only a flying visit for me, not local sadly, popped in for a take out coffee, and ended up with the most delicious fish finger and silly cheese bapand quality coffee. Chatting with the owner who clearly has passion for her business (I’m in the same industry and very jealous)so if you are passing by or aiming for the industrial estate in Wem Shrewsbury… I INSIST you pay these lovely ladies a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Lovely, friendly and very reasonably priced food and drinks
