I stopped here with a few friends for lunch and coffee and we all felt we had stumbled upon a little gem. A cute, quirky cafe with fabulous staff. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and coffee. Excellent value without any compromise on the quality of food. Highly recommended.

Awesome! Very homey Cafe and super affordable. The Mocha we had was good and I wad really happy with the food for only £6.5! The best way I can describe the ambience is like going to your Grandparents house on a Sunday for tea. A rarity for me to give 5 stars but truly deserved.

Not had the food but stocks herbal and traditional teas and coffees. Lots of art for sale and quirkiness. From being in there - it appears to have a music space with community members accessing. Seems to be open most days but have only been there around 12-3pm ISH. To find it on the street find the paper mache man.

Owner and staff are the most friendly and welcoming people in Wales! I have visited this cafe for the past 4 years and always leave feeling happier and fulfilled. You can study in the cafe with a cup of tea or sit down and chat to the locals. All the food is home cooked and tastes like home. 10/10 Recommend.
