The mushrooms on toast was well presented but didn't do much for me. My fault not theirs. Staff were very attentive and bakery display was magnificent.

Our go to when in Malvern, absolutely love it. The pastries are top tier and the drinks selection is so good too. I recommend the dirty chai and the beetroot latte in particular. The best!

Great brunch spot. They have a bakery inside offering all the usual temptations, as well as seating inside and outside for a coffee or something more. I had the mushrooms on toast with their homemade beans - I really recommend! Even though it was very busy, the service was great and they also offer Gluten Free alternatives - perfect!

Faun is a stunning place. The food is excellent, the coffee is superb however the service is lacking. We have been 3 times now, and it's been the same each time. The quality of the food and great location make up for the slow service but this place would be so much better if the staff payed a bit more attention to the customers.

One of many coffee shops in Malvern but this one is also a bakery, so its offerings are more of an in-house variety. Lots of lovely pastries to choose from and a nice selection of warm and cold meals. We had a lovely Latte, an Oat milk Latte, and an Organic Cola drink, to go with the Toasted Cheese sandwich, Sausage roll, Chocolate Brownie with thick cream and Chocolate praline and hazelnut Tart. We enjoyed everything about what we had, whilst sitting outside under the canopy.

I had a nice lunch here with a friend of mine. I ate the roasted chicken deli sandwich (and the staff were happy to let me swap out some ingredients!) and my friend ate the shakshouka. We both enjoyed what we ate and would recommend both dishes. The staff were pleasant and the interior is decorated so nicely - the outside eating area was a little unattractive but the summer weather made up for it! The drinks were a bit expensive and the strawberry shrub my friend ordered was very vingerary (we thought it tasted just like ketchup!)

The best beans on toast I’ve ever had! On the first day of my two day trip I came here for a drink and a bit of cake. The lemon and raspberry cake was beautifully moist. For the second day we came back for lunch due to seeing the menu the day before. The beans on toast were lovely with beautiful smokey tomato flavour with a sweet vinegar and crispy onions. I got a sausage patty to go with them that was juicy and meaty. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere with a beautiful view from the hills. Would definitely go back for a third time!

Always a treat to come here for coffee, cake or brunch. Haven't yet tried the light lunches or the occasional special evening menus. The coffee is high quantity and well made. The cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious!

Excellent coffee, bread, eggs, cakes and food. The service is always excellent and everything is very fresh. The bread and pastries are the best weve ever had - definitely worth getting a cinnamon roll and Pan au Chocolat! The design of the cafe is great with the use of the old fixtures from when it was a department store! If were in Malvern we always stop in here! The bread and coffee stamp cards are a great bonus too.

We stopped in for lunch while passing through Malvern, and Im glad we did! We shared two of the most delicious sandwiches Ive ever eaten (the roast beef, and the cheese toastie), and if we lived closer I think wed be coming back regularly! The pastries also looked worth trying, but sadly I was too stuffed to contemplate any more food.

Great coffee shop, good selection of quality drinks and cakes. Some food is available. Gets very busy at the weekend, drop ins are possible but if theres 4 or more of you its worth booking a table/calling ahead. Parking: If youre visiting from out of town look up parking before you get here as theres lots of options but theyre all not easy to spot Kid-friendliness: Child friendly. High chairs and some kids toys available. However probably not a great place for restless children.

Too pricey for what we had. 2 slices of sausage roll and hot drinks. Parking: We were lucky that we parked in front of the coffee shop. Parking in front of there is free for 1hr. Food : 3/5 |

★★
September 22, 2024

Service was good enough, thing that let it down was the food and drink. We had 2 sausage rolls, a coffee and a hot chocolate. The sausage rolls were not a whole sausage roll, but a slice, were very greasy, and HUGELY over priced, around 6 or 7 pound for a slice!! Coffee wasnt any better than any other coffee shop and the hot chocolate tasted like hot water and chocolate powder! Parking: Parking is on the main road, not sure if there is any around the back, but we were lucky enough to get one right outside, but its only for 1 hr, but was plenty for a quick cuppa for us.

Super nice food but, unfortunately, terrible service :-( We went for brunch and arrived around 11.45am on a Monday. We were seated in the back area. We waited ages for someone to come and take our order so I went to check if it was actually table service or if we needed to come to the front to order. Our waitress said she d be with us in a minute. When she did finally come, no Sorry for keeping you waiting or anything! We ordered the veg Shashuka, the fried egg on sourdough with truffle oil and a side of the grilled mushrooms to share. The food was delicious however the waitress never came back to check if all was ok, if we needed anything else or to clear the plates at any point. There were other people sat at the back who had also been forgotten including a woman in a wheelchair. It was rubbish! I could see the waitress chatting with her colleagues in the meantime. I eventually went up to order a pastry as the waitress was still too busy chatting with her colleagues to. come and see if anyone wanted anything. This too took longer to arrive than it should have so I got up to get it! This was such a shame. I would suggest that either the waitress needs more training in being a waitress or just tell people it s not actually table service and then expectations would be more realistic. So , food is lovely but deffo don t sit in the back area if you want table service!

We went in and gad a take way sandwich with coffee. We waited more than 30min for the sandwich and had to ask for it! Clearly they have forgotten about it as when we got the sandwich wrapped in foil was cold. Bread was soggy and overall not nice. Maybe its a nice place but we didnt feel it was at all.

Brilliant! Was recommended here by my partner & have being meaning to go ever since. Such a fun vibrant place with an aesthetic perfect for a coffee & cake! The coffee - takeaway this time - was great tasting & not overly expensive. The cookie I also had was delicious well worth the money for the sweet treat! Will return for a bigger warm meal next time & hopefully it will live up to this now very high standard! Great effort.

After listening to folks rave about this place I decided to take the plunge and try Faun out for breakfast. After reading the menu which makes everything sound lovely I ordered a full English and a hot chocolate, what turned up was frankly a bit of a disappointment it all looked very nice but for the money I wasnt very impressed a plate mainly full of mushrooms a very odd interpretation of baked beans and the rest was all very average also my Venezuelan hot chocolate was served in a plastic cup and was no better than something from Costa it was also half the size and double the cost of Costa. Cant say Ill be rushing back

Called in for a late lunch bite. Flat white was excellent. The food was ok. My wife had the beef sandwich was apparently was superb. My toasted cheese sandwich was a little underwhelming. Not that hot and I was expecting something with more crunch and texture. Could have been because the kitchen was soon to close. Place looks lovely and inviting with great decoration and style. Short stay parking on the road outside.

The service was a bit slow, and my mum didnt get the bread that should have come with the smoked salmon she ordered, but I really enjoyed the coffee, and the shakshuka, and my mum enjoyed her smoked salmon. The pastries looked excellent, but I was too full to try one after the shakshuka - it was massive. Id come here again. Parking: Loads of free 1hr parking spots on the street outside, and there is a short stay car park 100yds down the road, where 2hrs costs £1.40.

We visited Faun by chance after wanting to go to a coffee shop further along the road and wow it was a great decision! I went for the smoked salmon sourdough and it s probably the best smoked salmon I ve had at a restaurant. The cakes are also really nice as they re a family run business and have them in fresh everyday. Definitely worth a trip if you re hiking the Malvern Hills and want a pit stop on the way home.

So we called in today for our 2nd visit because we enjoyed out first visit. Was disappointed today. We ordered and was told even though the closed at 3 ( Sunday) we could have food. My husband wasn t impressed with his sausage roll and my flat white arrived in a plastic cup, I d had a real cup for my coffee first time. Unfortunately, cups were cleared while we were still eating and we were told at 2.55 they d be closing in 5 mins. Basically, was pricey and we had to rush to finish because it was closing time. Maybe orders shouldn t be taken so close to closing?

What a great find, walked past after our walk on the Malvern hills. Needed refreshments and a cake. Absolutely yummy. Not cheap but the quality was divine. A place not to forget and to revisit when in Great Malvern

February 22, 2024

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday, and were expecting great things having read the reviews. What a disappointment. As it was afternoon we wanted tea and cake, very limited choice of cakes. Tea selection was good, but was served in unattractive mugs! When I asked for a cup and saucer I was told they were all waiting to be washed up! On receipt of the bill which seemed rather high we were told the tip was included. The young lady serving us was very polite but may have tried harder to please had the tip not been included.There are other much nicer establishments locally serving tea and delicious cakes so we will not be returning

We had Breaded Cod with Warm Tartare Sauce, Sauté Asparagus and two of us had the Grilled Chicken Breast Braised Butter Beans, Chorizo, Tomatoes & Black Garlic (GF) We also shared the cheesecake to finish. Nicely presented , tasty food. Id recommend this as somewhere to go something tasty and a local restaurant.

Went in to try Wednesday s Simple Supper and it was great. We had planned to just have a Main course, but the food and service (from Eduardo) was so good that we ended up getting a Starter and Desert as well. The food really was very good - you could tell it was all fresh, decent produce that was cooked really well. As others have said, it s worth checking/keeping up-to-date with the menu before visiting, as this is updated frequently. Will 100% be coming again.

Amazing coffee, amazing cakes, great location and friendly staff. Only issue was one of the staff, who advised my coeliac wife that Oats are low gluten and there is no such thing as gluten free oats, which isnt accurate and we just wanted to know if the oat milk was gluten free of not... It wasnt a major issue but we felt that the staff should know the basic level of information when it comes to allergies. She was friendly and trying to help but just misinformed.

There are 2 downsides to this amazing place, which are more personal grievances than criticisms. Number one, that I can only give them one Google review at a time! And secondly, its a 30 minute drive to go. This just means I have to write another (better) review and simply move to Malvern My wife and I came here back in April for simple suppers. Amazing, simple, very flavourful dishes. More elaborate words are not needed. Just a great menu overall. Fast forward to today, 2nd time round, taste of India simple supper menu. I didnt think it could get better than the first time, but to my delight, it did. Pork loin with chickpeas, and whole cornish sole with romanesco, both superb. Roasted Bombay potatoes were a highlight also, very buttery and well cooked as was everything else. It really captured the taste of India, but in a way that is far removed from your traditional Indian takeaway, which I hope is taken as a compliment. Dessert too, bitter chocolate tart with tahini cream, ever moreish after every bite, and cardamom Panna cotta with plums, very fresh and very surprising. Top this all with non-alcoholic cocktails, DEYA on tap (my lord!) and other local ales, the fact you can buy locally made products here like honey, jams, and chutneys and all the reasons that made our 1st visit memorable (great staff, great vibe, great location, great venue), its a safe bet that I will be eagerly keeping my eye on their next menu but still booking regardless of whats on it, as Im sure it will be as special as the times before! Also, very dog friendly Also also, did I mention they have DEYA on tap

Amazing food, lovely people! Discovered this place coming down from a walk on the Malvern Hills. It was still open around 5pm (it was Wednesday) and whilst they were serving dinner and had long since run out of pastries they we happy to serve tea / hot choc and puddings from their dinner menu to some tired sweaty people. So glad they did. The puddings-chocolate tart with sesame cream and strawberry crumble- were so good we booked for dinner two days later on the Friday. They did not disappoint. The short menu allows each dish to be prepared with care. The burrata with roasted curried tomatoes was the stand out starter. Our party then had masala sole or pork loin with curried chick peas. There was a veggie option that looked good but we didn t try it. What we did have was delicious by common consent (we could not resist sampling each others dishes - good job we like each other!) Puddings were every bit as good second time round - with cardamom pannacotta and roast plums as the third option - also amazing. This seems like a new place (we re not local so don t know) but it deserves huge success. If you don t already know it we strongly recommend trying it!

Came here today for lunch and the food served to us wasnt the same as what was described on the menu. We ordered the cheese toastie which the menu said came with a marinated tomato salad and it actually came with cherry tomatoes chopped in half with no marinade. We also ordered the shakshuka which the menu said was made with white beans and instead it had baked beans in it. We complained to the staff and they said there was nothing they could do. Its a shame as we have been here before and the food was nice but its like they are trying to cut corners now but still charging the same and not being honest about it on the menu.

Hi , we have been going to Faun for over 12 months and have always found the food and service to be of a very high standard. Are they perfect , of course not but some of these 1 star reviews are hard to understand. Coffee strength and taste is subjective but I like my coffee strong and the Faun product suits me. Faun is not a fast food restaurant and I doubt its business model was written in with speed in mind. I dont believe Faun are expensive considering the quality of food and service they offer. On our last visit we had two double espresso coffees and my wife had a cake and the bill from memory was £7.00 From experience when I have heard customers complaining in other establishments people tend to become aggressive and annoy the staff. To conclude I understand that reviews used correctly work both ways.If you have read a poor review about Faun could I suggest you try them and make up your own mind as to the overall experience provided.
