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 :)

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.

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 😁

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.??

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.

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.

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.

Quaint tea rooms with good selections of food and drinks. Disappointed that a lot of the old tinned signs been removed. Friendly staff worth visiting

We loved the decor and objects of curiosity in this little cafe. I have never had coffee sitting in a waltzer chair before. The highlight was a beautiful plate of Welsh rarebit, with whole grain mustard and leeks. Fantastic. Well worth a visit.

It was absolutely divine. The afternoon tea set was sumptuous, and they combined the two onto one platter, perfect for sharing. The price is very fair. They also have a fantastic, extensive list of teas. I would definitely go again!

Its not a big restaurant and the day we went there were at least 4 staff front of house, but they were very badly organised and we had to ask for the menu several times, the same applied to the order taking and then our...

This is by far one of the nicest little places we’ve ever eaten. It’s so quirky and well done and presented and the staff are all lovely and can’t do enough for you. All the food we’ve tried has been stunning and the milkshakes to...

I know this is a lovely place but we arrived to have the shutters down and doors closed. We had booked days before arriving, spoken to a lovely lady and left our phone number with her as you would normally do. So my gripe here is, phone, text, message... we had a rather hard journey to reach The Bay Tree ourselves with all the flooding in the area. Such a shame no one let us know!

Food is amazing, had cream tea and smoked salmon sandwich. Dog friendly great. Brilliant decor. Toilet facilities not very good. Baby changing table doesn't come down properly it's stuck on tiles underneath, didnt look at all safe to use. Changed baby on mat on floor. staff suggested I go upstairs but there was only a locked room and more tables to sit at.

On our arrival to Welshpool on Friday afternoon we arrived a little early and I had spotted the little gem online prior to booking our hotel (something you have to do if your partner suffers with Coeliac disease) my wife never complains but it must be said that in the last few years many restaurants and cafés highlight vegan options on menu’s so much more than Gluten-free, sad really because because vegan is mostly by choice we’re as having coeliac disease isn’t!! Anyway, this cafe offers a great range of gluten-free meals and it’s quirkiness and style is definitely worth a visit. The staff were very helpful, service was prompt, and most importantly the food was lovely. We both had the bacon Brie and cranberry ciabatta, great for the wife to get the gluten-free option, sounds cheesy (no pun intended) but to be able to eat things you previously enjoyed can be such a luxury. Great place, thank you, and this was the start of a most enjoyable weekend and the people of Welshpool were lovely friendly people.

Popped into The Bay Tree this morning for my second day of my work holiday. When I walked into the premises I was politely greeted by the lady who was working this morning,and was promptly given a table and menu.Was pleasantly surprised by the massive selection of tea (the tea is supplied by Morgan's Brew Tea,glad I picked up 2 bags of tea from Morgan's now!). I chose the oolong tea,what was absolutely divine paired with the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict I had,again absolutely beautiful and I couldn't of asked for it to be any different. The presentation of the tea and eggs was beautiful and made me feel like I had just walked into a Michelin star tearoom (but not as poncey as a Michelin star). After my breakfast I decided to have a look around the place just to see if I was missing anything (as the fromt of the tearoom was scattered with eclectic items such as taxidermy) and I for sure was missing out and wished I had gone and sat in the Alice in wonderland room! Definitely going to be a difficult choice for where I go on my last morning tomorrow. Ps,the prices were very good for the quality of service and quality of food/drink that was provided. I also appreciated seeing the lady who served me introduce a young lady to the premises who had just started when I ordered this morning.

A place you do not wish to miss out on the décor is outstanding and the food was superb albeit a little pricey but judging by the popularity it is not a problem. We sat upstairs which was a great place for our 4 year...

What a fabulous shop! Wendy is amazing and we could have spent all morning talking to her, let alone shopping. This curiosity shop is FULL of everything you could imagine, jewellery, crockery, vintage clothing, festival clothing, crystals, fossils, art, cushions (which I will be back for!), skulls, taxidermy, hats and MORE! This palace of a shop is a feast for the eyes and a breath of fresh air. And I kitted all 3 of my kids up with Christmas presents, and more than a few gifts for me too, before settling down in the cafe for coffee and cake!
