Baffle Haus in Monmouthshire

It's an odd place you get a lot of motorcycles there but not a lot of bikers, very hipster ish which is ok ! But a little pricey on food and drinks, also a shop on site but that's expensive too...

Stopped by here for a one off. My wife and I were very impressed with the bacon roll and sausage and egg. Service was prompt, food was very tasty and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Coffee was out of this world and the hot chocolate was smooth. Visited for the third time today.

What's not to love, Welsh roads, great staff and decent shop. Makes a great bike stop.

A fab coffee and atmosphere. Motor bike lovers must stop off for a burger and a coffee here.

Fantastic place to spendvan hour And to top it off I got to speak to Falklands veteran Mr Simon Weston Perfect ride out

Beautiful place. We visited by car and when we drove in there were a lot of motorcycles which led to the thought that only bikers was welcome here. But it was not the case. We really enjoyed our time. The food and coffee was excellent. I will be back!!!

Always a great place to visit, from the nostalgic bikes to the lastest retro biker fashion. Not forgetting the food and atmosphere which is amazing.

A lovely biker cafe - great service at the food till and at the merch store. Will happily visit again!

Nice bikers meet. Coffee is good, not had food there yet. Went a week later for food and that was good too.

Really enjoyed my time spent at Baffle Haus. The pastries looked delish but I sadly didn’t sample them. Had a bowl of fries which were lovely but there was limited choice. Not a huge problem! Was cool to see the other bikes there and the motorcycle clothing and accessories in the shop - very pricey but had some great stuff there. Would definitely go back on a nice day for a coffee

Great motorcycle destination for all genres, decent cafe and seating indoor and out, off road parking plus clothing dept for jackets, gloves and tees, all a bit hipster but don't let that put you off, great positive & friendly atmosphere whether you are solo or with friends.

Great place for a pit stop. Great atmosphere good coffee.

What an awesome place. So much to see. The cafe is fantastic serving superb food.

Average food, fairly expensive for what It was. Wouldn't return...

What’s not to love, bikes, great atmosphere and bikes… did I say bikes ! Great prices, large breakfast and latte £14 odd. Great quality food, 4 stars as bacon was a bit cold on arrival. Staff had no problem changing an item to black pudding instead. The system they use is great, order food, wait for drink and then a buzzer buzzes when food ready for collection. Staff work hard and are very friendly. Latte was good too. I mean if you are a petrol head and foodie, what’s not to love. Eating food, having a catchup with a mate and being surrounded by some beautiful machines 🏍️ You have a parking attendant which is great so you know there is room, no charge for parking either. There is also a little shop there if you have deep pockets. I will definitely return and no doubt will use this place for often for a stop off mid ride. Overall a well earned 5 star experience. Will go to the Cardiff branch next.

Second Baffle Haus visited and the same friendly atmosphere, plenty of bikes there and decent prices

Busy Saturday lunchtime, that didn’t stop the parking attendant doing a great job, Que to the till moved quickly. Ordered the pulled pork fries, sat down no problem, and soon my food was ready. Great grub. Overall a great biker location. A must visit for those coming this way.

Great bike pitstop, friendly staff and good food/coffee.

Great vibe here, lush coffee and tea bikes on display are amazing. The food is also top notch

Great place to stop when out on the bikes! Decent food and decent coffee!

Excellent pit can't recommend it enough

Visiting here has been in my list for ages. Great place, nice vibe with a nice mix of people. Food quality well exceeded my expectations… fantastic. We had the Haus Burger and Cajun Chicken wrap with fries, great quality, made and prepared with effort. Well worth a trip out 🍔 🏍️👍

Great place for breakfast or for coffee. The food is very reasonable priced, a good range of options, good quality and decent size portions. The atmosphere is very cool and friendly. Lots of biker and non-biker people.

Great place to visit if you're into your motorbikes, great roads locally to

Great place to stop at and get a drink

1st visit, just stopped for a coffee. Fabulous place.

Superb coffe and a great place for anything 2 wheels

Very busy Sunday, virtually nowhere to park.

Great place, decent food, plenty of toys inside and out to look at, cars and Bikes. Friendly staff, Wish you all the success👍

Came all the way from Oxford to visit this place definitely worth the ride lovely roads very friendly staff and not bad on the prices lots to look at

Great place to meet up, loads to see and good food. 😋

If you just want a coffee and a slice of cake, or love your bikes, what a place to sit, take in the views and see bikes come and go. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

First time visiting the Baffle Haus and I really enjoyed it. Although I was alone on this occasion I didnt feel like 'Billy no mates' (😂) as the staff and customers were really really friendly creating a great atmosphere. This was very evident whilst I was eating as prople were smiling and really enjoying themselves. Talking of eating the food was really good. I had the Baffle burger and smokey fries. The food was of a good quality, privided quickly and when it was ready the little device they gave me flashed and buzzed and I collected my food from the hatch. On this first visit I would rate my food at 4 and a half out of 5 BUT as the whole meal including a drink only cost me £13 it represented real good value for money compered to some other establishments so ive given thrm 5 stars. Special mention to the lovely young lady on thr counter who helped me choose my food. She was lovely and an asset to the company. Im just gutted as I forgot her name! The toilets were really clean. Well done for that. It says a lot about the venue when the loo's are clean and tidy I will definately be visiting the Baffle Haus again to try more of the menu. Highly recommended!!!

Biker cafe. Simple range of hot food and nice cakes and tea coffee set in stylish surround of retro and custom motorcycles. Plus a biker clothing boutique. Quality goods but pricey

Amazing food,great atmosphere, small shop on ite selling motorcycle gear and baffle haus on brand items. Always plenty of bikes to see in the car park.

Absolute gem if you like all things cars & motorbikes plus great coffee and tasty food. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere with indoor / outdoor seating👌

Called in for a quick burger and fries - excellent and really good value. Doors wide open at the back. Sun pouring in. I was the only push biker.

Great biker cafe, nice little stop on our journey, and the food was a nice addition👍

Lovely food, staff and meeting place.

Really enjoyed my visit here a while back. Will defo be stopping by again on a ride this year.

Really cool place to meet up for coffee or a bite to eat. Got to see some really sexy cars (& bikes). Was busy on a Sunday, but there were still tables available. Service was great, and food was quick. Decent prices and good taste. Would recommend for a casual catch-up spot.

Great biker meet with great food

My first visit. What a fantastic, quirky place. Great relaxing atmosphere, interesting decor, but oh my god, the burgers! Best I've ever tasted, by a country mile. Juicy, beautifully cooked and presented and just awesome. Great value too. Car park needs to be a bit bigger, but that's a reflection of how popular this place is and rightly so.

Great place, good coffee and really friendly.

The place to be if you like motorbikes and or cars. Always an eclectic mix of motors to see and people to chat too. Not to mention the food drink clothing section etc.

Not a biker but I loved the place! Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Probably a good thing it's too far from Brecon to pop in regularly!

Lovely chilled atmosphere and good music to listen to. The decor is superb 👌🏻. Shortbread was delicious 😋

Brilliant atmosphere, welcoming, polite, friendly staff. Good food and drink. Excellent all around.

A funky refuge for the petrol-head looking for like minded souls who like classic machinery and a different and classy menu. Great coffee, cakes and never had a bad brekkie or lunch box. Mega tasty! Always meet fun folks there and the added plus is it is totally pooch-friendly if your dog is mellow with the biker vibe. Can be busy on a sunny dry day but there is the benefit of many interesting bikes and vehicles arriving to meet up. A brilliant place to go!

OMG, forget about motorbikes, THE BEST burger I have ever had. I will be waddling back to sample the breakfast menu 👌

My favourite place to refuel me when out on my bike.

Visited the Baffle Haus on the first ride out of the newly formed Ledbury & District Motorcycle Club. We were very impressed with the venue. Great service, great food and an excellent place to stop and chat bikes.

Absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is great, all the bikes and gear they have it awesome and the food is second to none, one of the best burgers I’ve had and with chips and a can of pop it was only £13 Even if you arent into bikes come for the food and if you are into bikes theres plenty to look at and plenty of people to talk to

Has a great vibe about the place. Nice choice of food and drink. From what I could see, you'd struggle to park up if busy, but worth a visit

Nice place for motorbike lovers with a great atmosphere. Decent food and quick service for a quick pit stop along the way

Wish I took more photos, such a good Cafe! Delicious food, great vibes.

Great atmosphere. Had a work call so stopped here and had breakfast and a coffee. 🫶🏼

Hi there - happy to expand if you'd like more feedback. We ordered the shredded pork loaded fries and the Haus burger. We felt the pork tasted boiled(?), greatly lacking seasoning and the BBQ sauce (tasted a bit like ketchup) just squirted on top. The burger had a strange scent and again, was a bit bland. The fries were good and crispy, all food was nice and hot and served up quickly. The coffee was exceptional. Also really enjoyed our takeaway dark chocolate peanut flapjack. Lovely atmosphere, would be happy to recommend to any biker friends, but none bikers very much welcomed too.

Stunning atmosphere, friendly and quick service and the food is filling and super tasty. As a current 125cc motorbike, the atmosphere is super welcoming despite being surrounded by much bigger bikes and more experienced riders. My favourite haunt for every weekend.

Great coffee, excellent (and v cheaply priced) food, excellent atmosphere even as a non-biker, and very welcoming to dogs! Excellent spot!

Lovely place to go for a burger after a ride. Friendly staff and the burger is very good. Food is served until 15h00. There is a small shop with bike clothing and there is always interesting bikes to look at.

Fantastic as always, wardens helping on the parking excellent place overall

Food or nice but small portions a little expensive but great atmosphere

Amazing food, amazing service, definetly recommend x

We drove from Warwickshire England to wales specifically just for this place - the food was 1000/10 could have been double the price and would have been happy to pay. Specialty coffees better than Starbucks for £3.70! Incredible. The place is so cool and the staff are so so sweet. Worth the two hour drive in the snow 🤍

Me and the wife started going there in July this year we are now regulars of about 2/3 a week coffee is the best about and the food is top notch and the staff are brilliant would deffo reccomend......

Wonderful place and brilliant food. Always welcoming

First time here after driving past countless times. Had a steak sandwich and fries and it was superb and served in minutes. Can’t fault it. Using local products too. 10/10 for me!

It's changed, the workshop to the side has now become part of the cafe . So it's bigger inside. And staff also got more room so you get served quicker too. Sadly parking outside is the same size. Not much can be done about that 😕

It's nothing that I expected. The place is surprisingly larger than it appears, and the inside is large and cozy and inviting for a breakfast or burger joint. The only disappointment was we had to eat out of cardboard boxes and with wooden cutlery. I was fine with it, but my elderly mother had problems, and they couldn't cater for her needs (a real knife and fork) either, which was disappointing. I will go back but I will be cautious about who I take...

We had the brekkie in box and the bacon egg bap, plus 2 teas. Good parking. Very nice food. Great atmosphere. Love the decor with the bikes etc. Much better than the 'machine and coffee' themed establishment based in Shakespeare land (if you know what I mean!) Will be visiting again.

We love riding down to Baffle Haus, a lovely shop, good food, decent drinks & even better atmosphere. They have burgers, food & drinks suitable for dairy intolerance/vegans

Great atmosphere, very welcoming staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Sublime.. First off the welcome: Olly instantly made us feel at home after walking in the trade entrance by mistake.. not a problem. Service very genuine - staff just happy to see you and spoke to kids which was nice. The food really is incredible. The Haus burger (mostly locally sourced ingredients) divine and coffee is perfectly crafted. You can't help but be wowed by the decor when you first walk in. Creative and super cool to dine next to bikes and biking kit. None of us are bikers but we all left wantIng to get on a bike or at least buy some merch for Christmas! Passed the place so many times and always intrigued. We will be back. Thank you guys - great find 👍🏻 If I had one minor complaint, it would be that you could serve the food on plates. Dining in out of a box is a bit awkward and not too sustainable.

Very friendly , went 120 miles out of my way to check if out and what a delightful group of people . Vegetarian burger is aces

Not my usual type of venue but enjoyed the vibe. Food was excellent and super quick !

Lovely, quirky venue with a great atmosphere.

This is by far one of the best biker venues in south wales. Food and coffee is amazing and always consistent! Proper nice chilled Vibe! Easy just spend most of the day there drinking good coffee and relaxing. All the staff are friendly. Glad this is on my doorstep! 👍

Awesome biker venue - excellent, effective, fast service and food. My second visit was just as good as the 1st. High standard of food and fantastic atmosphere 👌. Highly recommended

Absolute gem of a cafe! Just stopped off with husband and 3 children on the way to BPW. Great food, great service, great place!

First time going here but it certainly won't be my last! What a place! Motorbikes everywhere, in the car park & inside the cafe & shop on display. Just the place for motorbike lovers & buffs. Great place for a pit stop or to just soak up the atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside & out. Great service, we waited all of 10 minutes for our food & it was piping hot when we got it. A buzzer system is used. You take a square buzzer away with you after ordering food & it buzzes when your food is ready. Great idea! Coffee is the best coffee I've had from a cafe, delicious! I had two cups. The food is a bit pricey but delicious. A shop is also next to the cafe selling bikers clothes, T-shirts & accessories but, again, very expensive. Great place & highly recommend going there just for the experience if nothing else.

Great vibes and brilliant atmosphere but let down by a lack of parking so you either have to park on the road or nearby and walk- such a shame.

We are lucky to have a place like this so local. It’s gaining country wide recognition as there bike cafe to beat!! The owners are always about, a really good bunch and welcome everyone.

A place with atmosphere and soul, perfect for car lovers :) We will come back there, luckily we don't live far away 😁

Great bikers café, place was busy . Staff friendly and efficient, food was cooked and delivered in less than 10 mins, nice and hot and very nicely presented. Would definitely calling again. granddaughter was impressed with the hot chocolate.

Good selection of sweet treats to go with a brew, staff are lovely too.

Wow I have seen the Baffle Haus while Henry Coles was visiting on one if his shows really wanted to visit and now that I have (on a BMW trip to wales with motorad). Great atmosphere wish we had one more accessible to the southwest. Can't wait to pop in again would recommend this place to everyone. Wish the winter stock had arrived as I would have loved to have brought a t shirt as a gift to myself

Really great cafe. Good food, really good atmosphere. Recommended

Really well organised, which is just as well because it's busy. Now opened out to provide more eating and drinking space. Good mix of bikers and locals enjoying a chat and coffee or meal. I had the burger and chips, arrived in good time and really good.

An amazing place, very busy but very quick service

Great food, good coffee great service 👌🏻

I'd driven past this place several times before stopping last Sunday, what a revelation Lovely coffee, great breakfast options and if you are a biker a choice of interesting memorabilia as well as a clothes shop. Superb

I have a disability from a motorbike accident and I loved coming here. Everyone was very kind and disability friendly.

And George North too! Great place!

I've ridden here with some mates a few times over the summer (riding from Bristol) It's a nice ride and a decent destination. It's always been busy, but they usually have someone looking after the parking and directing you to a space. The food is good and priced reasonably. My food order was picky (add this, remove that, etc.) and they didn't mind at all. And actually complimented the dish I'd created 😂. There are some nice bikes to look at, a decent range of clothing, spacious, clean toilets and loads of bikers. Not sure what else I could ask for out of a Sunday morning ride.

Practically a biker stop in paradise! Loads of other bikers, friendly and chatting. It's like snow lodge meets biker cafe. Clothes store on site and plenty of room. Couple of guys doing parking. Facilities clean, staff friendly. Deffo go back. Reasonable pricing on the food and drinks. Loved it!!

Called in on a Sunday afternoon for coffee and cake the atmosphere was buzzing, loved viewing the bikes. Coffee and cake great 😊

Super place...many motorcycle with people taking part .great atmosphere to meet and chat

Great little spot. Well worth the journey.
