Arrived on time. Ordered pie & mash. After 30 mins later no food served yet. After nearly one hour still no food. Staff pleasant but we decided to leave.
The staff were lovely and food was good. On the other hand, the coffee’s were probably the worst we’ve ever had - I’m not sure they even had any coffee in them. They tasted like warm water with a dash of milk.
I've been here twice and on both occasions I was very impressed. The food was wonderful and the staff were just the right amount of friendly and helpful. Which of course meant the atmosphere was just perfect for a catch up with friends. I will definitely be back.
The food was delicious. Be aware they are incredibly strict on their kitchen times and will not make exceptions. We really wanted an English breakfast but came into the cafe and were seated less than 8 minutes past their breakfast time (11.38). Before we sat down we asked if we could please have a breakfast even though we were 8 minutes late. The manager/owner I'm not sure, a woman, said she couldn't make an exception which we understood because we were 8 minutes after their close time of 11.00. however it was because we struggled to find parking. It's very difficult to find parking. I also have mobility issues so I couldn't walk fast. We would have made it there by 11 if we didn't struggle to find parking and didn't have to park 2 blocks away and walk. The food we did end up eating was ok though. They also do not offer sweet potato fries and their reason was because everything is made fresh not frozen but I'm sure you can make sweet potato fries fresh. Anyway I have eaten there several times now and the food is ok so I will continue to go back, however the burger patties taste generic and frozen, and not home made.
Fresh, modern and handily located in the centre of Ystradgynlais. Serves breakfasts, panini, cakes and lunchtime meals.
Disappointing visit. Called in for breakfast on my way back home. Place was not busy. Parked on street with 1 hour parking. Service was so slow that after 40 minutes I had to enquire how much longer our food was going to be, told that the order hadn't been put through to the kitchen yet. That would have left 20 minutes for them to cook it and us to eat it, so cancelled the food and paid for the drinks we'd had. I would have liked to have tried the food, but alas that was not to be. Maybe next time I'm over this way I'll try again.

We went with no reservation and got a table under the staircase. We ordered our food but the order got lost or something and the table that arrived after us got our food. We had to wait way longer than expected and all we got were the apologies of the waitress. The tapas were good. The main dishes were a bit disappointing. The chips were soggy, the avocado and chicken salad had chicken covered in cream rather that fried, as shown in the pictures. The cake was good. Although they ran out of chocolate fudge and chocolate fondant cakes.
Top Quality Service! I went with my brother for lunch and it was great to see it so busy - a good sign, I opted for a nice scampi and chips which was rather tasty, scampi cooked to perfection and shout out to the chips as they were top tier. My brother went for the BBQ Melt and it looked cracking, he really enjoyed the quick turnaround on the meal and we will be back soon for sure
