Bay Tree Tea Room in Powys

Fantastic place. Decorated amazingly, log burner, and food was top notch!

Never been here before but always wanted to try. Went in and ordered coffee for two and a piece of lemon drizzle cake. One coffee to be extra hot. Both coffees were served extra hot (one not asked for) and the lemon drizzle cake was awful. Tasted like synthetic lemon, the meringue/sugar toppings were tasteless. My partner said to the server that it did not taste right/nice and gave it back after one forkful. She mentioned it tasting very synthetic. The server said yes probably as probably from the supplier. Was not offered anything else, money back etc and there was too much of a queue at the counter to wait to see the person behind. I suspect the manager/owner. Also there was someone singing, in my opinion and the people at the next table (one took his hearing aid out) very badly. Very disappointing and would not dream of returning again.

Wow!! Looks great. We will be trying soon. Met trudy at Birmingham and Tunisia airport. Great times had by all. Good look with your future Rockers daz, jools.😎

I really love the way this place has been decorated, I love all the art and quirky stuff. Even the toilet is decorated. One seat is a waltzer cart! I had a cappuccino, which was one of the best I've tasted, The menu is nicely decorated and has a good choice. They really understand gluten-free options and are careful. The food was amazing, and I would add this tea room to any visit They also do gin!

Well decorated little cafe with friendly staff. Stopped here for a hot chocolate and a cake.

What a wonderful cafe! Food was really exceptional and the atmosphere was lovely, really beautiful but also comfortable. Service was wonderful and everyone was very kind, friendly and attentive. Can't wait to come back!

My wife and I live near Welshpool. A few days ago, we had friends to stay, and we visited Welshpool to walk the dogs. We had planned to stop for some refreshment at Costa, but I suggested the Bay Tree, as I had been before, enjoyed it, and its dog friendly. It was only AFTER we had ordered, and our friends had paid, that we realised there was construction work going on. The noise was deafening, loud sawing and banging. We couldn't converse, and in a lul asked staff if it was going to be continuing. The response was an off hand, "yes, sorry, we have alterations going on". My friend mentioned her dog, which was fearful of the din. The staff member suggested takeaway cups. The deafening noise then resumed, joined by clouds of dust. Had my friend not spent the best part of 20 quid, we'd have walked out. Instead, we sat downing the drinks as quickly as we could, all the while being subjected to the horrendous noise and dust. Very disappointed, as I believe the Bay Tree staff should have made it clear there was major noisy construction work taking place, by signage at the entrance or the simple expedient of telling us BEFORE taking the order or payment. That would have been the reasonable thing to do. Not good enough.

Not the warmest of welcomes and I hadn’t finished my food and drink before I was told they were shutting and the server tried to take away my plate. Left without drinking my coffee as I didn’t feel comfortable at all. If I’d been told on arrival that they were closing in less than 20 minutes I’d have gone elsewhere.

What a find! Homemade delicious cakes, great tea shop menu. Fresh loose leaf tea. Doggie menu where my little one had ice cream. It is decorated in the back as the mad hatters tea party. This place is worth visiting. The table next to us commented that the tea cakes were above and beyond. We look forward to returning.

Found this superb tea room in the heart of Welshpool. The setting is very different. The staff and the food superb. Excellent choice on the menu. Will be back.

Popped in just for drinks. Enjoyed a white hot chocolate and a cappuccino. Some interesting, quirky furniture spread around gave it a different feel to a standard coffee shop.

Highly recommended, the full Welsh breakfast was excellent

We stopped by for the afternoon tea , well all I can say is don’t bother! The place is dark and downstairs full of stuff hardly any tables to sit at so we went up stairs …. Well that was an experience all on it own absolutely terrible place ,definitely needs to be looked at again as it’s meant to have just be upgraded!! As for the afternoon tea the sandwiches where just chunks of cold meat, the quiche was like rubber ( they took it away and then microwaved new one🙈) the scones where like bricks crumbled to pieces when you put a knife to them so couldn’t have the cream or the jam to them, and the cakes was disgusting the icing on one of them was solid Will never return

We visited the Bay Tree Vintage Tea rooms for lunch as it used to be ultra reliable. Sadly this estaishment has changed and not for the better. It used to have stunning Chesterfield sofas and armchairs which have all been removed. They have been replaced with fixed 'velour' diamonte benches which will look tired very quickly. The menu has been altered too. I ordered a pot of English Breakfast Tea (it's a tearoom, right?) I was served welsh teabag tea, not the same at all. The chips that came with our sandwiches, were 'poor' and clearly not cooked well. All round this was a disappointing experience and we shall sadly not be returning in the near future. The old Bay Tree Vintage Tea Rooms was quirky, unique and quality but this has been replaced and I shall no longer be recommending it. Sorry😔

This restaurant has to be seen to be believed. An Alice in Wonderland area, a circus and fairground area. So much memorabilia. Even a jukebox (not working). My wife and I sat in a pod that once belonged to a fairground waltzer in the “naughty corner! The breakfast menu was extensive, with plenty of choice for families. My wife had the American pancakes, which were delicious. I had the “Full Welsh” with the usual ingredients. (I couldn’t distinguish it from a Full English but never mind). The quantity was great but the waitress warned me the plate was hot as it had been in the oven. The food had been nicely cooked but having been kept hot in an oven it had started to dry, particularly the black pudding and the sausages. It took the edge off a very tasty and filling breakfast. A shame really. All in all an enjoyable experience with many a chuckle at the artefacts (“All persons must wash weekly” we were ordered)!!

Fantastic quirky cafe best bacon roll in Wales great coffee friendly staff well worth a vist 3rd visit and same as previous, again would recommend Visited today 7 Aug. Cafe has been "remodeled" and I feel lost a lot of its atmosphere. Also food not as good. So downrated to 4 stars

I live locally and have never eaten here before. Having just had lunch here I will return!. Delicious food and great value.

Stopped by chance at this cafe and was pleasantly surprised. The decor inside was fascinating…and the coffee was great too! Worth a visit for sure.

Unfortunately, we only called in for a coffee and the place is fantastic. Lots of interesting things to look at. Will make more time to try the food next time and look at everything we missed.

So pleased we noticed this quirky tearoom when driving past today. The Alice in Wonderland theme is fabulous. Loved the characterful menu and quirky decor. My friend and I chose four of the tapas plates to share. Portion size was great and we both thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. Even the side salads are well put together with a tasty dressing. Will definitely be recommending this venue to friends and will be back to try the wonderful assortment of home baked cakes.

Lively little place to stop for lunch, was driving through welshpool and found this cute spot for lunch with the girls. Good food. Service was great and not too pricey either... i like it when i find good food at a decent price in a place that suits

We said hello and were told take any seat. I did not realise that a seat is all we would be getting. We waited and waited in that window seat to be asked for our order. But we became aware that we were being overlooked in preference for takeout orders. So after a while, fed up of being ignored we just left. The staff probably never noticed.

Popped in for breakfast, a really lovely quirky little place and it's very dog friendly. Food was good and the staff were nice. They even had free dog biscuits.

Popped in for a drink whilst visiting Welshpool for the day. Whilst quirky inside,appeared to be having work done,with wires everywhere and ceiling tiles missing. Menus were very sticky. Chose 2 different teas, to be told one was unavailable, whilst serving the other. Then 2nd choice was also unavailable, which seems quite poor for a tea room. Staff were not that engaging, and upon payment, the waitress was more fixated with her phone.

Came for afternoon tea- they had run out of things on the menu but did not tell us on ordering so when it arrived it was totally different than expected. Childs afternoon tea was very expensive for what it was- would go for the normal one not the Alice in wonderland one as that only has a couple of pictures on the cakes. No crisps as said on menu. When we asked for the things that were missing they said that had just been busy so had to give us other things instead. We ordered for 4 adults but there was not enough of each sandwich each- they said we just had to share the 3 egg mayo between 4 so made it awkward for us. Food was bland and basic. Would not recommend. The venue its self is decorated quirky, however very rough around the edges. Improvement needed.

There were four of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I am Coeliac and there were plenty of gluten free options on menu. Just ensure that you are hungry when you go as the portions are big. I think that there are new owners and they really, really deserve to be supported. It was quiet today but had been very busy the previous day.

Will not return.....too expensive for what you get.

The service was slow. We had full Welsh breakfast and Welsh vegetarian breakfast. Mushroom were cold, eggs undercooked and chewy sausages. Hash browns, beans, toast and tea were fine. We paid £27 and for that price we expected better quality. The music was really nice and the place itself is nice. Our waitress was lovely but there was another lady at the till that looked a bit stressed out and asked the waitress to work faster (found that a bit unprofessional to do when customers around).

Great quirky place to visit , we both had sandwiches, which were really nice , and the service good, although it was slow for some people who had been waiting for a while , it was good Friday though , I think they were short staffed as every table needing clearing and because of this we were seated at a table which was actually a large trunk on the floor, not the best to eat at , but we did our best .

Called in here on a damp cold day and it really cheered us up! Lovely cup of coffee and the scones were so good - we didn't have cake but they looked really good too.

Really quirky place that we popped in for a drink. We had milkshakes and a hot chocolate but the food that came out looked amazing that we wished we had eaten there. There was a good choice. Loved looking around at all the vintage memorabilia! The Alice in wonderland room was great. Such a fun place and better than the usual boring chain coffee shop!

It's our first time visiting Wales and we loved this cafe. The decoration is vintage style set in Alice in Wonderland, they also have a good menu and a wide variety of drinks. Good Internet connection and they are Pet friendly. We will surely return :)

A great place for food and atmosphere, well worth a visit at any time of the day! Highly recommended, we will be visiting again!

Wasn’t the cosy cafe I was hoping for. It was a miserable day out but it was cold in there. No good sitting near fire as tables not the right height to eat at. Moved to another table, was wobbly so was the one next to it, not ideal. Ordered a breakfast but eggs were fried and we asked for poached, sausages tasted a bit cheap and gristle like and the bacon needed way longer. I was disappointed having seen other glowing reviews.

visited many times throughout the year but in my opinion the service had gone downhill. Went to bar to order, told take a seat and we'll come to you. 20 mins later still wating So, went to bar and placed order. Another 15 minutes and told what I'd ordered was not available. Eventually after a further 25 minutes I was served, despite someone ordering way after me and served within 10 mins. No proper chef in this establishment as far as I'm aware. Owner more intent on family than guests. A couldn't care less attitude if I ever saw one. Unlikely Ill be eating here again. Quaint little place. Only 1 unisex toilet so sometimes quire a wait. Difficulties manouvering wheelchairs even when less busy. Open less in evenings

Haven't been for a couple of years but was sorely disappointed. Extremely over priced, Soup £9.95 Jacket potato £9.95. The Tapas was the only reasonably priced dishes, 3 for £12.95 which we opted for to be told there were no tapas dishes available. So we didn't have lunch there, just a cup of tea. Used the toilet before leaving & the wall tiles, floor & toilet cistern were very grubby so really quite glad we didn't eat here. I live locally with my own food business so was surprised to see standards have clearly slipped.

Delicious steak baguette for lunch. Impressive selection of teas. Dog friendly 🐕

A lot of the items on the menu weren’t even available. My husband had a cheese and pickle wrap and it just leaked out all over his plate. It is definitely a quirky place! There were a lot of vegetarian options but when I went to order stuff they didn’t have it available

Lovely restaurant Amazing features that add the experience. Food was top class as was the Service. From the moment we enter till we left. We were met by very smiley and helpful staff behind the counter. And a Rather large selection of cakes. We were sat at a great table. And due to mother's dietary needs she asked lots of questions. All were answered very quickly and informed of anything she might need to know. A great place with a lovely atmosphere. Keep up the great work 😁

Been here a few times on our way to Barmouth. The food is always fresh and tasty and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They have a wide selections of different teas and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit when in Welshpool.

Wow, wow, wow. What an amazing little find. When we walked in we were greeted by very friendly staff. It is a themed tea room and I was blown away, I sat in a fairground waltz for my lunch but I couldn’t stop taking in all the decor. There was an Alice in wonderland themed room, circus/the greatest showman themed room, fairground area, the toilet was amazing - never spent so long in a toilet just looking at all the decor. Everywhere was so imaginative with lots of signs and an 80’s retro area. The food was amazing and every detail was well thought of. I had the loaded fries and you get a nice sized portion. The list of different teas and soft drinks was endless. I met the owner and passed on my gratitude and appreciation of the place. It was that nice we went back a couple of days later. Can’t recommend this little vintage tea shop enough. 10/10

Love it her always recommend too but was dissapointed on sat 21 Oct 23 my daughter found hair in her toastie and wasnt 1 strand . They replaced it but no one came to apologise aka manager /cook . Got to the till after they charged me I spoke to them they gave her a free cupcake not happy .

A great, quirky cafe with excellent food and service. The staff are friendly and helpful. Love this crazy place! Highly recommend.

What an amazing and unique place!! The breakfast we had was lovely and the staff were great and friendly. Wish we lived closer!!

What a lovely unique place! The breakfast we had was lovely and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great and the staff friendly, wish we lived closer as would love to try there gins and dinner.

Had a few visits to The Bay Tree but was really disappointed with our visit last Saturday (23rd Sept) my teenager daughter asked if we could go for lunch and have the afternoon tea. I think it’s £16.95 pp and felt excited what would arrive. Unfortunately myself and my daughter felt very disappointed with the food which arrived. Sandwiches were cheese and Branston and coronation chicken. Four slices of bread in total into triangles. One piece of quiche (no more than 3cm In diameter), two scones with cream and jam, two cup cakes, sponge cake and two macaroons. I just feel they could do a bit more on the savoury side and unfortunately a tad disappointing and not expected as others have told me what they have received.

Wonderful cafe. Huge selection of loose leaf tea (black and green) served in large tea pots, enough for 3 cups, plus. The white tea was good quality. Charmingly quirky decor. They love dogs. Made a fuss of our tiny dog, and gave her a dog biscuit the size of her head! (With permission). They have gluten free bread, and the menu is marked up where GF is an option. Ordering GF therefore straightforward. On the cake side, they have GF scones. The non-GF Victoria sponge was excellent, homemade. All the cakes looked great, I wanted to try all of them (displayed on the counter). On a Saturday this cafe is busy even in September. It is busy for a reason. Despite being busy the staff and service were great. I loved it, highly recommended.

Superb find. Great food. Quirky cafe with fascinating decor. Faultless service from the staff.

A strange experience. The inside made me concerned about the hygiene of the place - it was dirty and had a strange damp smell to it. There was a water leak coming through from upstairs and it felt really dark and un-inviting. The food was ok - I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich but the cheese didn’t taste right so I left most of that. Not sure I’d recommend.

Great all round.. food was amazing 👏. Staff were very professional 👌 considering the amount of orders they have to cope with. Very busy but still manage to keep a smile on thier faces and keep the service to a high standard. 😀..

Great themed cafe. Food was very good and had a fantastic variety of teas.

This is a lovely place with brilliant food amazing service and an atmosphere that is one of a kind and I can’t recommend it more. I have 1 negative and that is that the toilet is a little cramped but I couldn’t list all the positives here. Much better than I expected even with my high expectations from the other reviews here. If your parsing through I couldn’t recommend this cafe more.

We recently visited The Bay Tree Vintage Tea Room, and it was truly incredible! The decor, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, added a whimsical charm to the tearoom that I absolutely loved. The Wonderland-themed menu was a delightful touch, and the overall experience was fantastic. The teapots were impressively large, perfect for tea enthusiasts like myself. The wide selection of tea flavors to choose from was a pleasant surprise. As for the food, it was top-notch and offered great value with generous portions. I opted for the Welsh Breakfast, which was spot on. My wife had the Brie, bacon, and cranberry baguette, and my sons ordered the bacon and maple syrup pancakes, and the sausage and eggs bap as the the pancakes my son claims are the best he's ever had. We certainly had our fill! The atmosphere in the tearoom was fantastic, and it was packed with people, creating a lively ambiance. We will definitely be returning for another visit. From the moment we walked in to saying our goodbyes, the staff, especially Jody, provided exceptional customer service. Thank you for your recommendation. This place is truly magical, and I highly recommend a visit down the rabbit hole. It will make you feel as mad as a hatter, in the best way possible! We absolutely loved it. Everything about our experience at The Bay Tree Vintage Tea Room was great, and we give it a well-deserved 10/10 for its customer service and the spoonful of magical delights it offers. Don't miss out on this wonderful experience!

If you're visiting welshpool and want an overpriced venue that is style over substance then this is the place for you! If you'd like quality, then this place will not deliver. we visited over a week ago and paid for 3 children's afternoon teas, a full English and pancakes with bacon. The afternoon tea was advertised as "a selection of sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, cakes and pastries, served with juice or squash". The lady who served us stated "I've put them all together to save space", when in actual fact it was more to do with how shocking 1 would have looked in the holders. What we received was: half a sandwich per child, which were falling apart, a mouldy strawberry each, wilted salad and some cakes which were so cold and hard it seemed they'd just been defrosted from icelands desert section. There were 2 of each cake not 3 and the "pastries" consisted of one chocolate éclair, so we didn't even receive the 3 portions we had paid for. We received a small ramekin of stale tortilla crips between the 3 children and the orange juice was clearly off as it was curdled. We were not table checked and the service was poor. I messaged the manager who said she wasn't in but would get back to me the next day, we didn't hear anything. I've since messaged to have the response "the person who served you is on leave", however that doesn't excuse the fact that a "qualified" food prep person (they don't deserve to be called a chef) gave 3 young children mouldy strawberries, off juice and inedible salad. I wasn't going to post such a negative review had I received a half decent response from management, but they don't seem to care either. Definitely do not recommend this place.

Stopped here for lunch during a brief visit as my partner wanted a jacket potato. I had the Welsh ploughman’s lunch which was excellent and filling.

Lovely cafe/tea room in Welshpool Powys. Close to the town centre with 2 easy public car parks behind it, across from each other. Great selection of cakes and meals and the coffee is excellent. Good selection of gin as well. Very eclectic inside with the walls and ceiling covered in interesting memorabilia. Prices average for the times. Always something to see when you walk in. Variety of seating styles from old converted waltzer cars to high bar stools and leather chesterfield style chairs etc. Would recommend anyone with imagination and an enquiring mind, to give it a go.

Decor amazing, food great, well the breakfast was and wish we were staying in the area longer so we could visit again and sample more, the staff were friendly and polite. What more could you ask for.

Popped in for takeaway latte, tea and Flapjack . Lovely friendly quick service the venue itself is clean cute and quirky the flap jack was delicious and a good portion size. Looking forward to next time being able to sit in and stay.

Love the fun/ retro decor, a lovely member of staff explained that they were busy with 2 lge groups and would come to us as soon as they could, which they did. Brought tasty coffees, baked potato and beef sandwich arrived great but no knives. They were so busy they forgot. When I saw cutlery arriving for others I asked for some. I noticed 2 managers having a meeting and lunch. This is when I did get annoyed. It seems that customers and dedicated staff mean nothing modern management. Is this just me.?? Left unhappy after complaining.

Visited Saturday just gone, and it was incredible. Loved the decor, we sat in the Alice of Wonderland part of the tearooms, and it was just fantastic. Even the menu was all out of Wonderland!! The teapots were extremely big, which is great if you are a tea lover like myself. There are so many flavours to choose from. The baguettes and ciabiattas were filled to the brim with tasty food. All come with side salad and taco chips. We certainly had plenty to eat and drink. The atmosphere was great, and the whole place was packed out . We shall definitely be returning. It certainly cheered us up on a rainy dull day. Everything was great from when we walked into saying our goodbyes. Great good, staff and atmosphere with a spoonful of magical delights. It's most definitely worth a visit down the rabbit hole! It will make you feel as mad as a hatter!!!! Enjoy the journey

This place is a WOW. Original, creative, fun, lovely people, good food and drink and we hear, soon to be offering even more fabulous cocktails and good wines. Can't wait to go back. The Bay Tree is totally original, unique, so far from the boring usual suspects

Stopped off in Welshpool on our drive though Wales and saw this had good reviews. What a great find: Friendly staff, fascinating decor and gorgeous food.

Breakfast is great and so is the coffee, not cheap but very good. Eclectic mix of eccentric wall coverings, signs and monkeys!

Excellent food and staff were brilliant. The decor is fabulous and very quirky. Will definitely be back when in the area

Fabulous food and drink. Dog friendly too. The decorations and decor are entertaining and eye catching. Staff members are attentive, friendly and proactive. We found this little gem on a pit-stop to Machynlleth; suffice to say we scheduled a second visit on our return journey.

Scrumptious afternoon tea. Lovely furnishings, friendly staff and dog friendly. Alice in Wonderland theme

Staff are miserable and not friendly at all

Lovely little place. Cakes were amazing and the service was great.

The food here is truly excellent! The delux ploughman could feed at least 2 people and the tapas had excellent choices.

This is totally different place from your normal high street cafe, thank goodness for that! We stopped off for a light lunch of tea and Welsh rarebit. Propper loose leaf tea in a china pot and china none matching tea cup and saucer. Deceptive in...

Great place very unique and fun. Mocca was lovely and staff seemed very pleasant, must see on any trip to Welshpool!

2nd visit for breakfast , good quality food in a funky environment.

Excellent food, with decent portions. Great quirky decor. But massively let down by the very slow service. The waitress also had to come back twice to confirm our order. Should have been 4-5 stars, but the poor service let's it down unfortunately.

This was a real find! A lovely quirky place, with a great atmosphere, and wonderful friendly staff. There was a really wide range of food and a great choice of dishes for our vegetarian son. The choice of teas is staggering. Thoroughly recommend a visit to this absolute gem.

Wasn’t very impressed, the first time I came for a booking of afternoon tea - after giving us menus & confirming 3 times it was okay we got told they kitchen was now closed after 20 mins of waiting. Gave them the benefit of the doubt, went back 3 weeks later for the same booking to then get told we had no choice of what style afternoon tea we got (even though a friend had been in earlier that day & later informed me they got the choice?) So not sure why it was different for us. The sandwiches were not any of the fillings we got told would be served, resulting in neither of us liking them. A 45 min wait before food came & a chilly atmosphere. Not to mention both times there was NO toilet seat. In the 3 weeks passed that issue hasn’t been sorted. The lady I was with was also heavily pregnant so even more of a struggle for her. I would not recommend & after the second attempt, I can’t say it was much better.

Quirky place, seems to be a different movie/subject for each room. Lots of cool memorabilia and props. The full English here is great, seriously tasty. Please bring back the bigger single mushroom though instead of the small ones. Service was good, friendly staff.

We used to come here all the time before covid and I am absolutely devastated by our visit the other day. It has seriously gone down hill. We were barely greeted when we walked in ,not welcoming at all. It seemed like the lady on...

We always come for afternoon tea on our birthdays and the Easter one was lovely. Got served by the friendly waitress and had a good amount of food served. The cakes were so good, but we didn’t have much room left, so they kindly wrapped...

Reviews on here were good so went in with high expectations for a nice afternoon tea. Very disappointing. Whilst the sandwiches and scones were nice, the cakes were very plain and samey with the same chocolate frosting on all 3 cakes. The display at the main counter had some amazing looking cakes, but these didn’t come with the afternoon tea. Interiors were quirky, but felt cold and drafts inside and wasn’t much of a warm welcome either. I wouldn’t recommend.

Saw some good reviews for the afternoon tea so decided to come here for my birthday. Wasn’t much of a welcome atmosphere on arrival. Interiors quirky, but dark, cold and crafty. Ordered the afternoon tea, the sandwiches and scones were nice, but the 2 cakes...

We visited this cafe after we saw it had good reviews on trip advisor. We were sat upstairs on a dirty table. We looked at the cakes downstairs and we were told a waitress would come and take our order we waited ages and a...

Delicious food (we had Welsh rarebit and home made cauliflower soup) and nice staff. Dog friendly. Fun funky decor with a circus / Alice in wonderland theme. A real gem

Lovely relaxing and quiet after the school run. Fun and atmospheric for my kids party. Impressive to treat visitors to. Fab place, amazing tea selection and beautiful food with BIG portions.

Absolutely fantastic little find. Sandwiches were amazing, so much filling and really tasty. Proper quirky little place, the room at the back with Alice in wonderland theme was beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Visiting for lunch whilst in Welshpool, we were debating between the Ploughmans and the Afternoon Tea. The Ploughmans was filling and delicious, but also reasonably priced. The venue itself is quirky and has lots of items of interest inside. The staff are friendly and engaging,...

Quirky eatery in Welshpool serving delicious food, whether it’s breakfast or afternoon tea or yummy milkshakes you’ll not be disappointed

Lovely little place, was a great lunch stop for us - we thoroughly enjoyed our food and the decor around us!

A very nice little place with some charming decor! I arrived to Bay Tree without a booking, on the off-chance I might be able to find a seat. I was found a spot in the Alice room, and handed a menu. I'm a woman of...

Very friendly staff and very open to accommodating dietary needs.

Gorgeous decor, quirky and fun. Food is lovely. Its just hardly ever open? The times on TripAdvisor need updating, it's only open half these times, if that! If lucky enough to get there and its actually open, it's a real treat. X

Lovely afternoon tea for 2 this afternoon for my wife's birthday. She even got an extra piece of cake with a birthday candle. Lovely place. Staff very welcoming great background music and there is certainly plenty to eat. Doggy bag was required. Thank you for helping my wife to celebrate her birthday. Highly recommend this lovely tea room.

The staff at this property desperately need some customer service training. When we first walked in for our afternoon tea booking we weren't greeted with a smile & an hello by the miserable looking young lady but instead by a passive aggressive "we're only doing drinks & cakes" Which didn't bode well at all. Then when I asked a male member of staff what fillings were in the sandwiches. I was told in a couldn't care less attitude "cheese and a mix." He should know which fillings are available. We also heard them talking about customers in a derogatory way even saying "It doesn't look like they have any intention of going anytime soon." Which is very unprofessional. They didn't interact with customers or even seem to like their jobs which is strange in a job that requires interaction with the general public. This experience did put a dampener on my birthday afternoon tea which is a shame because the lovely quirky premises & food were amazing but we won't be returning or suggesting anyone else go there due to the awful staff.

We stopped for lunch after visiting Powis Castle. What a fab find! Lunch was super with lots of choice on the menu and a lovely friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend the donut 🍩 🥛 milkshakes! Decor is fun 🤩! Drop in you won’t be disappointed!

Hungry after a long mornings walk we stumbled upon the Bay Leaf. The restaurant was busy but the staff found and rapidly cleared an upstairs table for us. At first the menu seemed limited but, after more study, the range of choices was found more...

This is a must visit place if you love quirky! Decor is a visual feast! Food was delicious and really lovely staff.

Decor is fantastic and the food was great. Staff service however was way below par - had to ask to have order taken, unfriendly, just stood at the table with the food to wait for us to say whos is who's without asking and unconvicingly apologetic when an order came incorrect. Such a shame as the place itself is lovely!

The Cafe interior was was an 'aladdin's cave' of bygone memorabilia & treasure's. The cake's and particularly the staff were absolutely gorgeous. I wish it were nearer to where we live !

I love this place the most comfortable place to go and eat cake and drink the best coffee in Welshpool all the staff are really friendly and helpful ♿

We didn't stay, staff were pleasant, but particular customers were ignorant and wouldn't move their chair for us to sit down. We went next door to the Royal Oak, where there's lots of space, large choice and staff great.

Lovely coffee and food in quirky, unusual surroundings. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.
