Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the all-day breakfast menu, a highlight filled with generous portions at reasonable prices. The service stands out; friendly staff provide a welcoming experience, making first-time visitors feel right at home. The chocolate cake, often called the best dessert, leaves a lasting impression paired with great coffee. The café’s ability to maintain a casual atmosphere, even during peak weekend hours, keeps the experience enjoyable, whether dining solo or in a group.
Most Disliked
Some customers note that seating can fill up quickly, especially on Saturdays around peak hours, making it challenging to find a table. A few reviews mentioned the occasional wait time during busy periods, especially for takeaway orders. Limited dinner options leave those craving a heartier evening meal with fewer choices, as the café focuses on breakfast and lunch. Additionally, a small number of regulars wish for more variety on the kids' menu, but most agree that the existing offerings still cater well to younger diners.

Classic British Cafe fayre but the prices were great and they had a good selection of meals on the menu. We went for the all-day breakfast and were not disappointed. I had an omelette with mushrooms, chips and salad and it was very reasonably priced. Cooked well and quickly. Someone in my group tried the pancakes and was very pleased with those.

I went to the Welsh cafe today and was served by a lovely young lady who was very friendly and had a smile on her face at all times, after getting our food (which was good) she did a check up to make sure everything was okay and got us the sauces we wanted, overall was a lovely experience and I would return again
