Description

Nestled in the scenic grounds of Brecon Cathedral, this charming cafe has garnered mixed reviews. While many appreciate the delightful atmosphere and delicious offerings like Welsh rarebit and fresh Welsh cakes, concerns about inconsistent service have been raised. Some diners encountered unhelpful staff and limited gluten-free options, suggesting improvements in management and clearer signage. However, the friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices, alongside the café’s stunning outdoor seating, make it a tempting stop for locals and visitors alike. With potential for refinement, this cafe is a lovely place to enjoy a meal after exploring the cathedral’s beauty.

We stopped in for coffee and cake before visiting Brecon Cathedral. The staff was very friendly, with big smiles and helpful service. The cakes were delicious, especially the lime and courgette. It was a pleasant stop before exploring the interesting cathedral. We are glad we came here.

We had a pleasant walk and were excited for a nice lunch afterwards. Unfortunately, the waitress was unfriendly and not helpful. The quiche came with a small salad and two tiny half-cut potatoes. When we requested more salad and potatoes, we were charged an additional £3.50 for the potatoes and £3.95 for the salad, bringing the total to £18.55. We will not be returning to this restaurant.
