Some of the best sandwiches/barms I've had, fresh and plenty of filling. Twix brownie was incredible as well, all at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, it all seemed a little unorganised, no direction for queueing and little guidance from staff when people were confused and huddling about.

Cakes are absolutely tremendous and such good value. Chocolate and caramel muffin was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Almond slice was heavy and large and also so, so good. And only £2.50 each. Can't recommend this enough.

Best bakery for many,many miles. The Pumpkin bread is the most delicious I have ever tasted and must win awards. The fruit loaf is packed with fruit and flavours. Delicious. You know it's really good when all the locals go there too. Delicious crempons ( pancakes ) Superb scones. A variety of perfect Rolls and breads. Sometimes yesterday's bread's maybe availabile at a reduced price. Still excellent especially if gently rebaked / reheated. Friendly staff. Great value,large portion traditional cafe at the rear. Comforting,cosy setting and quality food. Evil,enticing , sumptuous , scrumptious cream cakes a' plenty. MWYNHAU ! ENJOY.

Excellent! The moment I walked in the atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming and everything was so clean, the staff were so polite and patient and nothing was too much trouble. The food was such a lovely surprise they are honestly the most delicious baked goods I have ever tasted! The quiche was beautiful, the base was covered in lovely roasted ham and with some lovely herbs added, really was a treat. The lamb and mint pasty had a lovely flavour and lots of filling, definitely a favourite. I look forward to going again very soon!

This place was legendary. Best ham baps / rolls on the planet. Everyone talked about the ham salad and ham and coleslaw baps and rolls. And the beef was amazing too. Proper joints cooked in the ovens. I’m excited to hear it’s reopened. I’m praying it’s still got amazing ham and coleslaw baps. Will update as soon as I’ve been.. hopefully it will be 5 stars still..
