Cafe 34
Inside Cafe 34
Cafe 34 sits just off Castle Street in Shrewsbury, offering a relaxed spot where locals and visitors often drop in for a casual coffee break or light lunch. Its location, close to the train station, makes it an easy stop for commuters or anyone exploring the town center on foot.
The cafe's atmosphere leans toward homely and welcoming, with a cosy interior that encourages lingering over a warm drink or catching up with friends. Staff here are notably approachable and attentive, creating a friendly, neighbourhood feel rather than a rushed commercial vibe.
The menu suits a variety of tastes throughout the day, with popular choices including creamy mushrooms on granary toast, fresh paninis, and a thoughtful ploughman’s board featuring local ingredients like ham and brie. For those preferring plant-based options, the platter of guacamole, hummus, sourdough toast, and assorted sides provides a well-rounded, flavourful plate. Pastries like pastel de nata and coffee cake pair well with the cafe’s strong, well-crafted coffee offerings.
Morning visitors often grab breakfast items such as scrambled eggs or jumbo oats, while lunchtime brings a steady flow of people ordering sandwiches, soups, and paninis. The cafe's pace is unhurried, making it a good spot to rest during a day of shopping or sightseeing in Shrewsbury.
Despite its central location, Cafe 34 maintains a sense of calm. It’s the sort of place where you might find students catching up on reading, local workers enjoying a quick midday bite, or friends taking a break before a riverside stroll. The connection between friendly service and solid food choices creates a dependable, comfortable environment that feels grounded in the local community.
