Our Shrewsbury story
In 2012, Nicola and Mike Dalton changed careers and opened a small coffee shop at St Julian’s Friars. The idea was simple: excellent coffee, honest food, homemade cake and a welcome worth coming back for.
More than a decade later, stop. has grown across Shrewsbury — while staying proudly independent and family run.
Cakes, catering & celebrations
From a birthday cake made in-house to a private evening in the museum courtyard, bring your people and we’ll help with the rest.
Coffee. Cake. A proper pause.
