The Green Wood Cafe

A hip veggie & vegan coffee shop found nestled in the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO world heritage site, a former beating heart of the Industrial Revolution and famous for the first iron bridge in the world (1781).

You’ll find all day brunch, ranging from their big ‘lodge’ brunch which has it all and is available in veggie and vegan variants too, served alongside shakshuka (eggs poached in tomato sauce), scrambled eggs or tofu and lemon garlic & thyme mushrooms on toast.

Sweet morning delights include their banana & chocolate toasted loaf cake, banana & almond butter on toast and popular pancakes (bacon & maple syrup, black forest gateaux or plain).

Lunchtime options includes the brunch menu alongside a range of burgers and loaded hot dogs; the ‘loaded non dog’ comes complete with pickles, sauerkraut, crispy onions, ketchup, a secret vegan mayo and tortillas.

Cakes, the majority of which are vegan or veggie friendly, include a gingerbread latte, banoffee, dark cherry & marzipan, carrot & fruit or oat & coffee cake. There’s also their superb sticky cinnamon buns, blueberry Bakewell, rocky road brownies and toasted coconut & chocolate flapjacks.

There’s plenty of space outdoors on their terraced seating area for larger cycling groups and additionally inside is a good number available too, although do note weekends do get rather busy!
