Turned up on the off-chance on a sunny Sunday afternoon to find plenty of seating outside in the courtyard. Ordered the Sunday Lunch and it was great! Food was good quality and portions generous (including the gravy which is very important!). Lovely chilled music playing. Really great experience. Update - all of the above still applies. But the ordering system seems chaotic sometimes. It often takes 5 minutes for someone to place an order at the counter. So you can wait 10- 15 mins to place your order if there are already a couple of people ahead of you. Not sure if they need more staff, or a different process. Worth the wait though.

Lovely food and attentive service always. The Sunday Specials (including the roast beef with all the trimmings) are prepared well and served with a flourish.

Spacious and modern cafe. Loads of choices of food on menu. Staff were friendly and polite. Food was delicious and well-cooked. Nicely furnished with modern design. Would come again. Would recommend the waffle with chicken strips and maple syrup

Great to have Welsh rarebit in Wales. Nice latte. Can't comment on the rest of the menu as I always have to take the opportunity to have Welsh rarebit in Wales!

Popped in yesterday on the way back home from a short break in Wales, and was so pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food! Was pleased to find vegan options - we had the wild mushrooms on toast with extra vegan sausages. Coffees were delicious too & vegan cake on offer was a bonus (sadly we didn't have room!) Lovely clean and cozy atmosphere, great and super professional service from all the staff too. Dog friendly which is rare to find. We will definitely come back!
