About Shepherdess Cafe

The Shepherdess Cafe is a proper old-school greasy spoon on City Road — no frills, no fuss, just hot coffee, a busy grill, and honest, filling food that hits the spot. It's a relaxed, unpretentious spot where families are welcome, and there's a kids' menu alongside what should be highchairs available, so little ones are catered for. The cafe is buggy-accessible and has some outdoor space, which is handy when you need a bit of breathing room.
