Coffee Aroma

Coffee Aroma is an independent coffee house run by owner Cheryl Waddington from a unit inside the Telford Theatre building on Limes Walk in Oakengates. It has built a following in the town for locally roasted coffee, gluten-free cakes certified by Coeliac UK, and a range of milkshakes, smoothies and teas served alongside breakfast and lunch dishes. The café has picked up multiple regional hospitality awards since opening and marked its fourth anniversary trading in Oakengates. It operates as a single, owner-run business rather than part of a chain, distinct from the national coffee brands found in Telford town centre. Opening hours run Monday to Friday, 10am to 3pm, keeping the café tied to weekday office and shopping trade rather than evening service. Its position inside the theatre building means custom overlaps with daytime event audiences as well as passing trade from the town's indoor market and shops nearby.
