Visited today and hope to be back soon! The food was gorgeous, clearly freshly made, lovely and hot. The interior of the cafe is lush, we were lucky enough to have sunny weather and sitting outside in the sun trap at the front, it was beautiful. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to Sheona, Leonie, Jade and Kaitlyn - fab bunch of girls Visited the Silver Mountain Experience just across the road afterwards / breakfast set us up for a fabulous day at the mine. The perfect day out!

Fantastic breakfast,dog friendly, toilets were spotlessly clean..staff were very friendly, will definitely visit again.

My family stopped here for breakfast whilst travelling to West Wales. The cafe has recently been renovated and reopened in June. There are plenty of breakfast menu options for appetites large and small and we all enjoyed our choices. Dogs are welcome inside the cafe but we opted to sit outside in the spacious covered seating area outside. The accessible toilet facilities are very clean and modern.

We arrived as part of a large group completely unannounced and they were more than accommodating offering to move tables etc for us. Food came out in reasonable time and was all lovely. Dog friendly and amazing service. Will definitely visit again if we are passing.

Lovely spot, great staff! Ordered the cheeseburger and miner's lunch. They do breakfast all day but I only saw that on the board behind the counter after ordering unfortunately

Lovely cafeteria in the heart of mid-Wales. Great food, great coffee, great location. Very warm, friendly staff serving high quality food and drinks.

Lovely little stop on a long journey. Staff were very nice, the jacket potato with bbq chicken was amazing. Really liked the place. Accessible toilet was massive and clean. Only thing I didn't like was staff petting dogs then going into kitchen and dogs where people eating.

Great prices, amazing view, tasty food, modern facilities and dog friendly. What more could a on road camper ask for. Staff were friendly aswell as other diners. Peaceful setting was just what I needed, and why I travelled a little further out!
