"Wow, what an incredible spot! The Cowboy Eggs were absolutely delicious – truly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Packed with flavour & the perfect portion size.

The filter coffee, I believe it was a special, though I can't recall the exact name - was exceptional, easily one of the best filter coffees I've tasted. A solid 5-star experience & I'll definitely be back. Great job!"

"While exploring the charming Shrewsbury Market Hall, we found ourselves drawn to its array of global food stalls—ranging from Asian to Mediterranean, and of course, classic British fare. Among all the enticing options, The Birds Nest immediately stood out. Nestled in the corner of the ground floor, you can’t miss it—the mouthwatering aroma hits you before you even spot the bustling crowd.

We ordered the Full English Breakfast and The Veggie Beast, and both were absolutely delicious—hearty, fresh, and packed with flavor. Our meal was perfectly complemented by a cup of coffee and a rich hot chocolate. Every bite hit the spot.

What made the experience even better was the exceptional customer service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always had a smile on their faces. It’s clear they care about both their food and their customers.

As you can tell from my nearly spotless plate—highly recommended! A must-visit if you’re in Shrewsbury and craving a memorable brunch."

"We've eaten here a number of times and it's usually a good experience with a great vibe. However yesterday we ordered two coffees with our food, one oat milk latte and one dairy cappuccino. I explained I was dairy intolerant. When the coffees arrived I asked the waitress which was the oat milk, but she didn't know. She went way to check and returned pointing to the one with oat milk. After a few sips I became concerned and at the same time my partner realised his was the one with oat milk. We mentioned this to the waiter (the owner?) and he didn't apologise or offer to replace the coffee, he just said he'd tell the waitress. I explained to him that this was a systems fault and not that of his staff, but he showed no real concern. She came over and was professional and apologetic, so we said the same to her (ie not her fault). It's not hard to use colour or shape coded mugs, or stickers to differentiate non dairy. All this would have been redeemable, but with barely an apology from the owner and no offer to reduce the bill (e.g as a minimum not charging for my coffee) or put things right, we won't be returning."
