Evans is ‘famous ‘ for its Chelsea buns so grabbed one and a savoury roll.Service prompt but no hint of a smile ,don’t know if the lady serving was having a bad life(always had this style of service from her for a number of years) Really off putting-failed charm school obviously then to add the icing on top of this bitter cake the Chelsea bun dry and stale whilst the chicken roll full of cranberry sauce and very very little meat.My advice shop elsewhere-better service,better quality and can use cards as Evans only take cash under £5 sales(not convenient at times)

They do seasonal specials as well... their mince pies are just to die for! They are family friendly and even though it’s quite a small cafe they always make space for kids/prams etc.

We asked for decaffeinated tea and the lady told us she could not find any but she could go out and buy some for us!! How kind is that. Never ever heard that before, very touching. We said normal tea will work fine. I will never forget what the gentle lady said. She had a touch many of us lack today. God bless her. If we ever come back to Newtown we will pay cafe Evans another visit and hope she is still working.

The bread is soooo good, though it won't last long due to lack of preservatives (a good thing, imo). The cakes are also very good; this tends to be the locals' go-to for quality baked goods. The cafe in the back is basic but the standard of the food makes up for it.
