Sophie's Creperie, Shrewsbury (Sophies)

Sophie's is a creperie, bar and cafe influenced by the Estaminets of Sophie's home region of Flanders France. and is unique in Shrewsbury. Certainly, one gets the feeling immediately on entering that there’s something foreign about it. Both downstairs and upstairs rooms have that welcoming rustic feel, with wooden tables, some comfy chairs (even some old French cinema seats) and a host of quirky nick-knacks scattered around. Although this is primarily a creperie, and a supplier of milkshakes, beer undoubtedly plays its part in the offering. The range is definitely unusual and thoughtfully created by co-owner Matt who is also an accredited Beer Sommelier.

There are bottles – and some cans – from the whole spectrum of continental and other beers. Whilst these are not all bottle conditioned (i.e. real ale in a bottle) a great number of them are And what is refreshing about Sophies is that it’s a place to take the family and each can indulge in maybe a crepe, milkshake, soft drink or indeed a beer. So, lovers of the continental bar environment may well appreciate being here and linger longer.

Opens Tuesdays as well during the summer holiday season
