"Visited here at lunchtime and had the Welsh Cawl which was recommended to us by waitress. It was ok but nothing special. Cafe was quiet. Good location in the centre of town. The place was clean staff were friendly and price was reasonable but think we would have enjoyed something like a sandwich and coffee much more. Staff were pushing a comedy night. Just think the place had a bit of a confusing identity. Would go back and try an evening maybe it is more geared up for that vibe but for a quick snack and drink it was average. Needs to be more cosy for a daytime crowd, probably idea for an evening bar vibe more than a cafe."

We usually have coffee here when we visit Brecon. There are a couple of tables outside and in the mornings...

We called in for coffee and cake, two couples plus two Boxer dogs. Coffee and cakes/scones were excellent and reasonable...

Very friendly and helpful especially to a dairy and gluten free requirement. Portions were tasty and generous. Would go again!

Had a cream tea, the scones were very nice as was the jam and cream. The tea was plentiful, the lady who served us very friendly and the price was the icing on the cake.

Dropped in for lunch and discovered our choice from the menu was not available. Then told that they only had white bread. Didn 't stay and went to the excellent 'The Hours ' cafe nearby.

Passed through for coffee and cake today. Nice venue, friendly staff but average service. I'm not sure they are entirely focused on their business but if they were it would be a great place.

Thank you so much Charlie for your very kind donation to The Big Picnic for Sarcoma Awareness Day. The cakes were delicious and much appreciated, especially the Gluten free ones so no one went hungry. We managed to raise over £100 at the picnic itself and significantly more directly on-line. Thank you for your support. My daughter and I enjoyed a scrumptious florentine and cup of tea here on another occasion. Thank you

What is it with these places, trying to be hip and trendy? The Cafe is failing miserably. Uncomfortable, grubby seating area,dismal toilet down a very steep flight of concrete steps, right next to the kitchen! At our age we should have learned to ask the price of items. The chalkboard on the wall had some items priced,sandwiches were not! We ordered 2 sandwiches tea for 2. Shop bought bread bog standard fillings. Upon asking for bill £14! No card payments! How do these places get away with such inflated prices? Lesson learned
