Bradleys Coffee Shop in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Best hot chocolate in aberdare for sure!

Excellent spot especially when the sun is shining

Very good selection and good prices too.

Cracking cheese and ham toasties but get in early as they often sell out. Should have really said the cheese and ham toasties were rubbish just to make sure they don't sell out by 2pm.I have seen one poor review regarding the chese and ham toasties - I must be honest the only problem I see with them is that they are o popular they are allways the first ones to be sold out - suggest that speaks for itself.

The staff are always polite and friendly. This is why my Dad loved coming here so much ❣️

Appalling, waited several minutes to be served or acknowledged no other customer waiting. Having eventually been served sat for long wait minimum 15 minutes NO coffee being delivered (it wasn't at all busy) went in to enquire found serving group huddled chatting they had totally forgot oder then waited another 5 minutes to eventually receive coffee. Service has progressively been getting slower and slower this is unacceptable will NEVER use Bradley's again, fortunately several alternatives providing much better service available in town.

I had a hot chocolate and cheese and ham toastie. Although the food was nice. It cost nearly £9. I found it expensive. I wouldn't be returning.

Overpriced bitter Coffee. Served with no care. My advice walk down the street go to the new Coffee shop Cocos you won’t be disappointed.

Called in for lunch and a coffee. Very spacious inside. Food was good and there was a nice atmosphere.

Great place to meet over a coffee

-Friendly staff -Cosy -Very warm building -Afternoon Tea was nice ☺️ - vegan option available -Vegan wine available -£33 for two people

Coffee is good and there are plenty of options. I would say the coffee suits those that like a strong /dark roast here. Styling is very pleasant and good outdoor seating.

Excellent..very friendly people

What a dump! You order a coffee and you get a cup of milk. Why do people still go there? Better coffee in local Wetherspoons! New coffee shop opened in Canon Street that will be the death knell for Bradley’s!

Very nice coffee shop and friendly staff who dealt very politely with an extremely rude, shouting customer on my most recent visit.

Great coffee shop with a lovely comfortable chairs.

nice coffee with outside seating. they also do ice cream. nice place to sit and people watch......

Llanelli - I'm done with this place. There's a girl working there who has to be the mouthiest of them all. Do not become a regular as she accused me of spending so little there, place is expensive anyway, just because I don't pay for nearly £4 for a iced tea drink which are basically a syrup shot and water, I wouldn't that be the customer's perogative? 'oh my you're spending a lot today aren't you?', I replied 'what?' and she responded with 'well you don't usually spend much here'. I couldn't beieve it, are they monitoring the spending habits of regulars? I bet this makes great conversation for her to her collegues. On a seperate day, I went into the shop again, I was looking for a friend of mine who said they'd meet me there but happened to be late, so I stood by the door looking in, and when I looked at the counter ready to purchase something, I found the same girl staring at me, with an attitude looking agitated and mumbling to herself, I assume this was because I may have been taking my time to look for my friend. This girl really has issues, she's invasive, judgemental, and has that typical attitude of looking down on customers. Very unprofessional. I imaging they keep her on because she might be one of the lively one's out of the bunch, but livelier doesn't mean that people have to put up with it. Look out for her, she's usually crocheting during breaks.

My first time in aberdare visiting from the us. Love this coffee shop. Got a cappuccino and it was quite good at an affordable price! The barista was very nice and quick. I have been back a few times since I first popped in. Highly recommend if visiting the area!

Waited a very long time for panini and manageress was very rude. A very nice waitress seemed very unhappy about the situation she was put in by the management.

Staff very surly. Girl from treharris could do with smiling. Pontypridd shop far superior and staff more friendly

Excellent coffee. Price is high but actually the quality is good. Especially like the customizable options available. My go to is pumpkin spice latte. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor is very comfortable. Service is fast and friendly. Wifi is truly awful. The worst I've experienced and I've been all over the world. It's unusable. I'd probably say it's the top coffeehouse in town

Came here with a pram and eventually got their attention as the step was too high to enter. They have an outside seating area with good views of the town and chapels. The coffee was good and strong and the bara brith was succulent and full of flavour. The prices were fine and the atmosphere relaxed.

What a Massive Disappointment! Went into Bradley's Coffee Shop in Llanelli and there were 2 staff members. The girl behind the till did not greet me or even smile once, the only other person there was a woman to busy to even look up, as she was on her phone. I ordered a Ice coffee and I have never seen one made with water taken from the kitchen tap. I took one sip and I left it on the table and walked out. In Llanelli there are so many better options to spend money on fast food and Bradley's is not one, just look at other reviews. I do hope the company looks at their reviews, please get staff members that look the part, and a smile goes a long way. Please bring back Burger King ;)

Thought this would be decent as there is one in pontypridd that is lovely but this one in aberdare is an absolute disgrace, cramped, dirty, and drinks are mediocre with a regular mocha looking more like an espresso dont recommend a visit here

Really not impressed unfortunately the cafe is cramped and very hard to get around you almost have to sit outside when the coffees came I hard a dark mocha which I honestly can't believe it was suppost to be that it tasted like a standard coffee with sugar and my wife had a frappe which was so overfilled with cream and basically just ice also the coffees did not look anything like the pictures absolutely night and day compared to there Pontypridd chain

Lovely coffee and friendly service will be back thanks

Great meeting spot and great coffee

Paper cups for inside? Just an "OK" experience.

Very nice Coffee and really lovely service. Brought a bowl of water outside for the dog without asking. Nice people!

I can't fault the Bradleys in the Old Town Hall, Aberdare for service, food, value for money and coffee. It's the pity I can't say the same about the old Bradleys in the old Muni Arts Centre in Pontypridd and in now in Llys Cadwyn there. Service is a little slow there but food, coffee and presentation good. However empty tables are full of dirty plates and cups from previous customers and are not cleared until a new customer(s) comes in and sits at that table and is served.

Really nice coffee shop. Nice, friendly staff

Brilliant clean cafe/bistro. On the edge of town, sit out or in and plenty of parking! A1. 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent service and a great date x staff are very friendly and it's really cosy inside x brilliant place great company hood value x can't ask for more x

Love this place for a nice lunch

In Bradley's Llanelli, there was one worker there who seemed to have a real attitude towards customers. I am not sure if they are there anymore, but I remember seeing a gentleman who has serious health problems who wanted a place to rest, and this staff member just wouldn't leave him alone. 'You're going to have to leave if you're not buying anything', she came out about three time in about 10 mins - 'I am telling you etc'. He had already bought a coffee beforehand from Gregs and I happened to be in that queue where he asked the Gregs Staff, can I sit outside in the court, and they said 'we don't own that, that is Bradley's Coffee'. So he obviously needed to sit down, All the seats were empty art from my seats my friend and I occupied. But the Bradley's staff member kept coming out like she had some sort of personal mission to talk down to him. This gentleman was not angry, he didn't speak back to the staff member, he was very quiet and you could not have a more well behaved person. He sat there and kept to himself without any sound, but I couldn't help think he was really embarrd by all the passers by that were witnessing this. I remember when the tables were free some years ago outside the place, but then when Burger King and Bradleys started renting, they got their paws on it and have been really defensive of it. Never is the shop and that place outside their shop full at the sametime.

Nice cosy cafe, friendly staff, nice coffee n cakes.

Lovely friendly service with variety of luxury coffees with variations of flavours to try. Also serve deserts and cheese boards and bookings available for small parties of people for birthdays, anniversaries or meetings. Indoor and outdoor facilities with lovely views of the the town. A relaxed place with comfortable seating, a perfect place for relaxing and free WiFi available upon request.

My Wife and I called in recently for two flat white Coffees. What came was two cups of milk (the coffee is still coming)! I don't know how they get away with it! The last time I'll pay nearly £5 for two cups of milk! Expensive, overrated and a place for old biddies who have lost their sense of taste and not from Covid! Avoid - go to the local Spoons and have a cup of Coffee (that you can taste) for £1!

If you don't mind paying £22 for two small cup's of coffee, two small pieces of cake and one plain cheese panini with staff that struggle to render a smile then go there. Really does not warrant these prices especially as the outdoor tables are choked with the constant barrage of vehicle smoke and noise and hardly an 'experience' unless you call getting fleeced an experience.

Good quality, quantity is a little small.

Popular place. Nice outdoor seating area.It also has a licence to sell alcohol. Not impressed with my black americano,no crema at all. Having said that,if you like a latte o was told it was good. Lastly,very slow to clear tables of used crockery

Great place to to go for traditional fish and chips plus a little extra friendly staff and proprietor making each customer is catering for lovely out door seating area and kid friendly

Only 1 gluten free option. Rubbish on the floor outside under tables. Nice inside.

Awesome coffee and cake, comfy sofa too.

First time here, Coffee was beautiful. Rich and strong. Girls were lovely behind counter and working very hard. Definitely will return 😍

Good coffee, comfortable surroundings ☕😊

Their own-brand coffee to buy for home use is excellent.

Covod friendly lovely coffee and toasted sandwich

Exceptional coffee, caters for all in a relaxed, sophisticated environment. So glad it has been open throughout 2020. Photos of a Cappuchino 2020 and a Strawberry and Almond frappe 2021

Cosy, nice selection outdoor and indoor seating.

Great coffee shop. Polite staff. Stunning redheaded waitress..

This place is so nice amazing frapps of any flavours coffee teas even some nice snacks too like cakes paninis sandwiches etc

Fab staff. Could have a better choice of snacks. Kim

Not enough seats but nice coffee

Fast service, nice place to go to chill and have a coffee

Prompt service with tasty hot drinks and cheese and onion toasties. Would have preferred a touch of salad to vegetable crisps on the side though. That said a good overall experience

Nice little spot and if they focused on quality it could be great. The coffee isn't great and when you get an undercooked cheese toastie you really wonder, how hard is it too get a toastie right? Would love to see them get some interesting beers in, up the quality on the food and coffee and become a quality place insured of her another rubbish Aberdare cafe.

An Aberdare institution, coffee done right!

Not the best. 5.70 for 2 large Americano coffees. Don't understand why the barista didn't give the full measure of coffee in either cup. There was too much hot water, resulting in a weak disappointing coffee twice over

Lovely coffee shop, always grab a late on my break at work. Staff are always very helpful and informative. Brilliant cakes and snacks too!

Really lovely coffee and pastries

Always good coffee and good service, staff are always friendly and you never have to wait long. Would highly recommend.

Been going to Bradley's for many years now - by far my favourite coffee shop!

Always great coffee and friendly service

Only had coffee and cake but they were both fantastic

Great cosy coffee shop near Aberdare Library.

Lovely coffee shop! Friendly staff, good coffee, plug sockets and vegan cakes. Will definitely be back :)

Visited here on Friday 2nd October. Entered the building and waited at the sign which stated wait here to be seated. After a few minutes a lady shouted us in to the area where they make the coffee. First we were asked if we were from the same household and then told we had to prove that. Now I have raised this issue with RCT and they advise shops only have to ask if your from the same household. The attitude and abruptness from the lady really wound me up. The hot chocolate had a perfume scent to it. After reading other reviews on this coffee shop alot of other people have not had pleasant experiences here and I for one will not be returning

Very rude staff. Disorganised service on entry to premises. Demanded to see proof that we both lived in same household.

Bradley's brings a very continental palazzo vibe to the Valleys. With just enough of the traditional Bracchi atmosphere to puncture any pretension.

Very nice coffee an good service

Just popped in for a cappuccino! I found, even under the present situation, the Staff were rude and uncaring! The coffee was luke warm and all froth. Overrated!

Outstanding coffee, just a little pricey. Dark Mocha is my favourite. They also do soya coffees. Has the perfect little sitting area out side that’s a bit of a sun trap. Service is also friendly and quick.

First time here, good coffee and toasties would liked a larger menu but think the current climate has to do with it

First time there. Lovely place and coffee. Will defo go back

Just moved into the local area and as a big coffee drinker was on the lookout for a new coffee shop and noticed Bradley’s straight away. The interior is really nice and the coffee is fantastic at a reasonable price.

Met friends and thought we would give Bradley's a go. My friends are vegetarian and vegan so were slightly worried but no need to be at all. Soya and almond milk were available and as for the choice of vegan cakes it was brilliant to see. The vegan oreo cake was delicious, moist and a mahoosive serving. Look forward to going back soon

Great for chat and good coffee although, small and little overwhelming in size when busy

It was ok cups are abit little mind the take away ones but never mind

Delicious coffee, comfy sofas, friendly staff & lovely affordable cakes.

Good food and drink, lovely quiet place to meet with friends

Between Bradley's, Bert & Ernies and Delico Deli we now have a variety of places that sell exceptional coffee, are great places to meet and generally raise the profile of Aberdare. Try the peanut butter stack in Bradley's, it is simply divine.

Love it hear best hot chocolate ever

Good coffee choices, comfortable seating in and out, great place for a rest after shopping in the town or catching up with friends

Good choice of coffee syrups, provided dairy free option for my partner, coffee was brought to the table when ready and the environment was nice and relaxing.

Really lovely coffee shop in Aberdare which we found after doing the Santa parkrun.

Classy, cosy, comfortable continental-style coffee shop, like all of its type, VERY expensive products.

It's a bit stayed but it's the best coffee anywhere in the valleys

Not the friendliest of places to go, a bit odd towards you if you go in and have a coffee on your own,. If you have a family or wife with you there seems to be more approachability, also if you talk or have a conversation with the people they don't really want to talk that long, coffee also very bitter tasting, A lot friendlier with the little chap who serves and the French lady, who is very courteous and polite . No longer there now. I remember one occasion asking for a coffee and had a Costa plastic cup and lady behind the counter refused to fill it, saying this was misrepresentation because it wasn't bradley's , this I thought was poor policy, bad customer service, what is the old addage the customers always right.

Always great coffee and fantastic hot chocolate

Did,nt dislike, just found it expensive 4 a weak lukewarm coffee

Lovely little coffee shop clean and nice selection of snacks

Perfect little coffee shop, coffee was good, friendly staff, lots of nice good to eat and on a sunny day you can sit outside in the square and watch the world go by on the lovely old fashioned high street

Lovely place to relax always take our granddaughters there for a babychinno 🍮

Fabulous coffee, toast was really lovely,fresh brown bread,comfortable seating, pleasant staff

Staff great. Ambiance pleasant, pricey for food and drinks. Need to change hot chocolate brand, it's like the cheap cocoa- very weak (even with extra) not a nice drink there!

Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of choices for drinks and excellent cakes, one of the best cafes in Aberdare

I don't patronise chain coffee shops to try and support local cafes. I'm occasionally in Aberdare and this café is the best in my view. Good setting near the old church and away from the sometimes depressing town centre - sorry, Aberdare, not your fault I know. I remember the town in the 50/60s when it was thriving.Pleasant staff, good coffee, etc.. Nice comfortable sitting room in the back. I always seem to sit outside so the sun must always shine in Aberdare - a place with lots of memories for me. Recommended.

My husband and I popped to Bradleys yesterday for a nice cold milkshake/frappe, on a lovely warm day. My husband ordered 2 milkshakes, one strawberry and one banana, along with a slice of rocky road. The milkshakes arrived and what a huge disappointment, let alone waste of money, both milkshakes were warm (since when do you get a warm milkshake). They were both utterly flavourless, and such a huge disappointment, they clearly had not been made with any form of cold milk, or ice, and were disgusting. My husband then told me he had to pay an extra 50 pence for the cream and marshmallows on top, what an absolute joke. I took a bite of the rocky road, also warm and tasteless. We left both drinks (still full) and the cake on the table and went home. Such a waste of money and a huge disappointment. I did find it rather funny after we walked away I watched the staff pick the milkshakes up and throw them in the bin, with not a care in the world, or wondering why we hadn't touched them. I will never recommend Bradleys, and we will never return. Overpriced joke!
