Espresso Farm

Thought instead of a stop off in Solihull to meet a friend we’d try somewhere more characterful & we weren’t disappointed. Chai latte & Cappuccinos were good, the Halloumi & Sweet Chilli Bun real tasty, as was the Sour Dough & Avo Toast. My guess is the Cinnamon Roll was a little old as it was quite dry & not great. (Couldn’t help thinking the Halloumi Bun (£7) & Cinnabon was a bit pricey, especially as they’re so tiny & are served in paper pkts, so no expense of plates & cutlery to be washed. Also asked for some butter & was given cheap nasty margarine - come on guys you’re on a farm 😩). Given environmental awareness would like to suggest separate bins for recycling, especially as much of the wrapping & cups are recyclable, yet rubbish is all thrown in together. This is a real hidden gem of a destination which actually has camping too, in the most idyllic of settings - a must stop, especially for families. Next to the cafe is a pizza restaurant which we’d love to try if there’s next time.

The Expresso Farm is a sister establishment to the coffee shop at Dorridge Railway Station The coffee is more than acceptable but on the day I visited there was a rather limited choice of cakes The atmosphere is very pleasant and the surroundings offer the opportunity for country walking There is plenty of parking
