About The Coffee Shop
On High St in Lydney, The Coffee Shop is a cafe with upstairs seating decorated like a fifties or sixties diner, looking out across to the Forest of Dean. The menu includes homemade lasagne alongside milkshakes and cake, with raspberry ripple and Sicilian lemon among the flavours. Dogs are allowed inside, and a dog bowl sits in the outside eating area alongside a bike stand. Outdoor seating runs to trestle tables, with a covered smoking area and a grass area for eating outside. A car park sits at the rear, reached through a yard with small commercial units.

“First time at The Coffee Shop for lunch after long walk from campsite. Great service from the staff and lovely atmosphere from the welcoming locals. I don’t normally leave reviews but the food was brilliant and the homemade lasagne was the best I’ve tasted away from home. Great value too. We will be back again with the dogs!”
