Cafe Brisco in Powys

Superb food and friendly staff. Booked a table for 7 plus 2 dogs and requested breakfast, even though we were due to arrive shortly after midday. The Full Breakfast was fantastic, as well as the falafel wrap and salad. The dogs were treated to free dog treats and supplied with fresh water. This was our second visit to the cafe and certainly won't be our last.

Have not been here for a while as we moved away from the area a couple of years ago. We had to collect some items from Charlies store in Newtown. We fancied a bite to eat and knew where to go to get some top nosh! My wife & I both had on omelette with some fries and we both agreed the standard of food served was just so good. I had a flat white & my wife had a cappuccino served by very efficient staff. Very highly recommended cafe. 10 out of 10.

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING TREAT TO YOUR SENSES … food is simply delicious and to sit outside in the relaxing terrace with sun shade for those who want it and sunshine spots to soak a few rays(covered and heated in the not so nice days). Service with a warm welcome and a smile and chatting to Clair the owner and creator of mouthwatering meals.5 stars are simply not enough.Doggies welcomed with a treat, high chairs for the younger members of the family also available

We live in rural mid Wales and come to Newtown once a month for ‘Big Town Day’ - haircuts, shopping etc. This is always the first port of call for breakfast - always freshly cooked and always great quality, with equally good coffee and a friendly team. There are cheaper options, but not better ones.

One of the best vegetarian full breakfasts I've had in a long time.very friendly staff and good value for money.

10 out of 10 Excellent quality food & generous portions,my sandwich was the most generously filled I've ever had The staff couldn't of been more friendly & helpful they were great the outdoor area is fantastic so beautifully decorated & can be also be used in winter as its under cover & has a cosy woodfire & lots of thick blankets can't wait to visit again Well done cafe Glitz @ Bistro

Amazing cafe. Friendly staff. Good food.choices including vegan and vegetarian options. Food is good value and very tasty. Its a lovely friendly cafe and the staff are really helpful. Looking forward to returning x

Always great, fresh, tasty food and a warm and friendly welcome. Some days are busier than others, so its worth booking .... We love Cafe Glitz!

Such a lovely spot for food. We sat outside with our dog who was given water and doggy treats. The courtyard is so pretty. The breakfast was delicious. The extensive menu catered for all tastes . Definitely worth a visit. Staff friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble.

The most beautiful breakfast. Absolutely gorgeous outdoor seating area and all staff were so welcoming and friendly. We were so happy to be here as they were dog friendly and provided our dog with fresh water and treats. Good value for money. Food was great quality and very fresh. Thank you all

Our daughter chose to have her wedding reception and exchange of vows in the garden of Cafe Glitz. I cannot praise them enough for the event. From the decorating of the garden to the food the whole evening was beautiful. The staff were marvellous. I would thoroughly recommend the location. And there day to day catering is also super.

A beautiful little cafe that opens out like the tardis into a beautiful courtyard. We had a pitstop for coffee and cake. All the staff are friendly and attentive, the cake delicious and the coffee was perfect. They also have an extensive menu that I will go back to sample.

Wandered in for breakfast. Great table service by plentiful friendly staff. Order a black coffee and a full English breakfast. Coffee arrived with a knife and fork wrapped in the usual paper napkin. Coffee looked rich and dark and smelt of excellent quality, taste wise it was superb and piping hot as it should be! After a short wait my breakfast arrived two fabulous tasting sausages, two thick cut back bacon, correctly fried egg with a lovely runny bright yellow yolk, baked beans, tomatoes, hash brown and a round well buttered toast! All carefully presented and cooked beautifully! Cleared my plate with gusto, drank my coffee and felt that not only had I totally enjoyed the experience but at £13.70 got good value for money! Lovely décor inside with farmhouse style tables and chairs. Well frequented by locals who were known to the staff! Relaxed vibe added to the overall experience. I will be back again in the near future, congratulations on a café well done!!

We have visited the cafe with a dog and a baby. Stuff was extremely welcoming and helpful. Food was very tasty and good value for money. Highly recommend

Excellent omelet and salad, coffee and scone. Service and food could not be bettered, covered outside eating area.

What a delicious lunch my friend and I had today. Felt very welcome and my friends dog Jack was welcomed with a treat or two. A visit is a must.

Yet another fantastic night at Cafe Glitz. Fabulous Xmas themed Tapas which had meat and cheese platters, pigs in blankets, pate, vegan dish......was amazing and even though we were full and didn't want a pudding, Clair still brought out a couple of dishes 'filled' with a variety of choccies! If that wasn't heaven itself, we spent some time outside by the log burner!!!!Felt like I was in a Scandinavian lodge with the Christmas tree and loads of subtle fairy lights. Loads of warm blankets too. It was the icing on the cake. Beautiful atmosphere 👌 Thank you Clair and Ian, love your place

Visited during an apocalyptic rainstorm and sheltered by the cosy wood burner outside which was wonderful and toastie! Delicious veggie breakfast (as always) and thoughtful and considerate staff. Felt very well looked after and warm.

Fantastic family run business. Always a smile when welcomed, lovely atmosphere inside and out .. food absolutely beautiful. will accommodate for everyone's needs.

Was so outraged by the outdoor woodburner (lit on a warm day) that i turned around and walked out. Come on Cafe Glitz, we all need a climate conscience. I would like to visit here.........

Called in for lunch as Newtown is about half way home from our trip to South Wales and our home in Lancashire, wasn't disappointed, large choice of food with many vegetarian options . Food excellent and friendly staff with an outdoor eating area should the...

We booked for a film group of 12 plus a baby at lunchtime on a Saturday. People ordered a wide range of dishes and everyone enjoyed their food. "The lentil Dahl was delicious." "The jacket potato with prawn was really good. Fresh and good quantities."...

Excellent coffee and great, homemade jam and coconut cake. Lots of friendly helpful people serving. And fresh water for the dog. A great place to eat.

Lovely lovely lunch again in the courtyard at Cafe Glitz! Very friendly cheerful welcome, dietary issues handled with ease and a smile. We all enjoyed our meals! Looking forward to our next visit!

The wife fancied lunch out so we popped in and were warmly welcomed and sat inside as it was a bit windy. Very fast service, food was nicely laid out absolutely scrumptious and great value for money. I was really pleased to se they serve...

Last day of our holiday in Wales today and we decided to stop in Newtown for breakfast. As we had our dog with us I searched Google for a dog friendly cafe and it came back with Cafe Glitz. Really glad that it did, what...

Stopped off at Newtown on our way back to South Wales after a trip up North. Came here based on Tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed. Was craving a fry up and it was delicious and kept us full for the rest of the day....

What a fabulous lunch in a friendly place. We had omelettes, chips and salad with a most gorgeous home made coleslaw. Cakes are divine too and everything is home made. Wish we lived closer to visit again, it is well worth a trip. Thank you

Lovely food great service definitely go back again thankyou lovely outside eating area plesent people

Excellent tomato and red pepper soup. Best ever tasted. Lovely atmosphere and welcome. The owner even explained how it was made

Found this place by accident last year when looking for a place to eat with my family while on holiday during the pandemic and since then then we come back every year when on holiday. The food selection is great with a wide range of...

Had a lovely lunch (twice- went back as it was so good) Friendly staff, lovely vibe and food was superb - quiche was so yummy 😋 Defo recommend and will be returning as soon as I am in the area again

Went to cafe Glitz last night with a friend. It was fantastic!!!! Lovely setting, brilliant service and fabulous food. We had 2 platters which we shared. It was delicious and lovely to just sit and chat and just nibble on tasty food. Thanks Clare and...

Called in on Cafe Glitz on our way down to our long weekend away in Pembrokeshire. Lured in by the fantastic reviews, we were not disappointed!! It’s a lovely, friendly place with very warm staff and brilliant, fresh food. Excellent prices as well. Highly recommended!

I stopped in for lunch and had a lovely omelette. The staff were very friendly and polite. The outside seating area has a lovely atmosphere. I’ll be returning soon :)

Perfect place to stop off mid cycle. Delicious food and generous portions, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will visit again if in the area

Great little place, outside space was nice lovely staff very friendly. I had a herb omelette which was really nice. Will be definitely visiting again

A really lovely, friendly cafe. We had lunch in the fantastic outdoor area. It was very rainy but still enjoyable. Very extensive menu, we were short on time so opted for toasties which were delicious and served with crisps and a nice side salad. The best thing about this place is the extremely kind and friendly staff. We had a short wait to order (as the cafe was really busy), they were extremely apologetic and offered us a free hot drink which was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Super friendly service and delicious wholesome food. Sweet potato and chilli soup with a lovely seeded roll and a cheese and tuna toastie. We were going to opt for a glass of wine each but went for a bottle of pale ale and a welsh cider instead. I wish we’d had more time to go through more of the menu. The cakes looked scrummy!

Popped in for brunch - my first visit to the cafe - and was pleasantly surprised by the vegan options. Tasty vegan breakfast and smooth oat latte. Friendly, quick service with attention to detail & reassuring outside social distanced seating. Highly recommended!

Visited here for lunch while on a break in the area, it was very busy as it was Saturday lunchtime so there was a bit of a wait but you have to feel for these businesses that have to flex between being shut down to instant demand. Definitely worth the wait for homemade soup, carved ham with eggs and chips, milkshakes. Lovely friendly staff - how nice to support these local independents rather than the corporate production line sandwiches and profit sustainable coffee...

Had a lovely lunch in the welcome outdoor eating area..beetroot soup was lush..nice friendly staff and a lovely menu section to cater for all..staff even brought me a cooked sausage for dog..thx v much

We had wholemeal cheese toasties with a generous sized fresh side salad and crisps accompanied by tea and coffee. Good prices and good quality food. Staff observing the C-19 guidelines throughout. Dog friendly and cater for an array of dietary requirements. Would recommend for tourists and locals alike!

Lovely cafe, best scrambled eggs I have had in a long time,tasty bread and a great cup of decaf cappuccino, very friendly and helpful staff, all covid rules in place

Really lovely place- pretty outside space, service was great & the houmous & sun dried tomato toastie was really delicious - would definitely visit again!

Fabulous quality coffee and hot chocolate, varied menu something for everyone. Efficient cheerful service. The cost back yard with log burner is a lovely place to sit even with this welsh weather.

On a rainy day! A little sunshine was brought to our day. Fantastic friendly service. Lovely coffee and food. Great outdoor space with a covered area and toasty log burner. Sit out and enjoy whatever the weather!! Just what we need at the moment.

Went for breakfast and got a toastie. Hot chocolate was very nice too, great service on top of that. Worth the visit.

We are in the area on holiday and were recommended this place for great coffee and cake by a local. They were not wrong. Very tasty food and the girls were very friendly. Also impressed with Covid measures, having a blackboard rather than a menu is a great idea!

This place is worth a 25 mile detour! We stumbled across it this morning and thought we had arrived at a Greek Taverna, it has a fabulous outside area, thoughtfully laid out and very well designed, we felt very comfortable. My wife and I ordered cappuccinos and chocolate cake with a portion of warmed ice cream. Everything was well presented by happy, friendly staff and the bill was only about £10. Still cannot quite believe it. This will be a stopping off point for us everytime we are in the area. Absolutely perfect would like to have scored it seven stars.

Gorgeous freshly cooked food and a lovely family atmosphere. Head down the back alley to their lovely courtyard. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic and freshly prepped food....super Rioja wine... Ian, Claire and the team are so welcoming to families ...they’ve created the perfect outdoor area to relax and enjoy a pleasant dining experience in....will be heading back there again and again with friends and extended family... Highly recommend

We stopped here en route to Penuwch as it came #1 in Newtown. We had coffee and homemade cakes in the courtyard and it was very good. Lovely friendly atmosphere, we would return and recommend.

A very delightful family run cafe and were made to feel very welcome. Had the home made soup which was delicious and my sister & cousin had the prawn salad which was lovely too. The outside seating area was great. Will definitely return next time we go to Wales.

A family lunch out was made very special by the friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely little setup, great menu and decent coffee. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our coffees so much in the Yard, our dog at our feet, very friendly staff and big band sounds in the background, that we tried to return for lunch. No joy - all tables full. The member of staff even apologised... really for being such a great place that everyone wants to be there! Thank you to all concerned for making such a great memory for our holiday.

Very friendly little café with outside seating. Bike friendly. Very tasty food with a good choice of vegan options. Quick table service. We will definitely be returning when next in the area.

This is simply a cafe, definitely not a restaurant. Had 'Home made soup' which was mediocre. Sorry, honest opinion.

Turned up as a large group. Service was excellent. The food was super tasty. Good selection of locally sourced ingredients used. Good quality sausages and bacon. Was highly recommend

Lovely little cafe, great welcoming owners. Good menu with the usual favourites, well priced. Great!

Had a brilliant late lunch today very clean lovely varied menu, attentive staff. Sat in the garden with our dog. A lovely tranquil space. Thank you

Stopped for lunch enroute to Pembrokeshire - lovely little place. Good coffee and food. Good value as well! Great customer service!

lovely little cafe, great outdoor seating area.friendly staff fresh food.not a big menu but there is something for everyone .

Ordered two different meals - both unavailable . We settled for a salad. It was basic and unmemorable.

Clare and Kim doing a wonderful job in their first week at Briscoes lovely Veggie breakfast wonderful atmosphere very helpful pleasant staff keep up the good work girls we will be back regular .

Tucked away at the end of the street but oh my god what a find! Food was incredibly fresh and tasty and their lattes are just so smoothe that we had to have a second one to take away! We will be back ladies, keep up those incredible standards and we can't wait to breakfast with you again! ;)

Stopped here for a cuppa whilst out shopping with a friend as had never been there before. Quite a small place but very friendly staff and a great cup of tea

I meet up with a friend on a regular basis for coffee and a chat in Newtown and we have tried just about all of the cafes in town. Let's face it, coffee is always fine but it's quite rare to take your first sip and think 'ooh, now that's good' - a real pick up.

My daughter and I were spending a day in Newtown and found this cafe when we were ready for our morning coffee.

We stopped here traveling north to Scotland from Tenby and had a great lunch, hot drinks and cakes. All were lovely especially the chips! Excellent service and kid friendly.

When travelling home from Tenby to Manchester we stopped at Newtown for a break and came across this lovely cafe. We went in for refreshments and were made very welcome, the staff are so friendly and the menu has a nice selection. All four of us had different things and we all enjoyed what we had. Highly recommended.

It's staff are very friendly, venue is clean and excellent food,no matter what you have on the menue

Very Reasonably priced decent clean plentiful food Comprehensive cafe menu Great coffee Dog friendly patio at rear Highly recommend

Went for coffee with a friend. It was very good. Cakes looked delicious. They have a courtyard you can sit outside too. Made very welcome. Would go again.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Small venue but oitside seating at back as well. Food available sandwiches jackets panini soup all day breakfasts and specials board. 3 had the club sandwich and i had the homemade quiche. All very tasty and drinks fab too.

Tried them for lunch. Clean and fresh with a very nice outside seating area. lunch which was well cooked simple food at a very good price. Coffee is also good. Will return.

Friendly, clean and good quality food. Dogs are welcome in the outside area. A covered area outside would help dog owners on wet days.

Enjoyable breakfast in a clean friendly environment. Particularly pleased to see the outside eating area is smoker free and so has no ashtrays and obvious waste due to it. Would definitely return again. Thank you

warm and friendly atmosphere, good customer service and the food is excellent. We are regular customers. Nothing is too much effort.

Went here on the strength of former TripAdvisor reviews and so glad we did. The food selection is great, great value for money with great portion sizes. Cafe is small inside but I believe there is more seating out the back. Excellent customer service and obviously well run. We will be back!

Called in Saturday 5th May on a day trip to Newtown Good food pleasant young staff aiming to please Will call in again if ever we are in the area

Well Yes, We said it all before - Best Cafe in Newtown etc. But really just want to say and can do over and over again - "Brisco has the very BEST COFFEE IN TOWN". If you havn't yet tried CAFE BRISCO for your Morning, Lunchtime or Afternoon cup of coffee, you really must -- its excellent. Of course if you want a 'yummy' breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea its all there freshly prepared, reasonable prices and served by polite,friendly members of staff. Well done Dave family and friends, keep it up.

The best breakfast in town. Great service, great food and the cost was very reasonable. What more can you ask for?

We love coming to Cafe Brisco for lunch but it is great for mid morning coffee and scones/teacakes. The cheese omelette is the best ever.

Such a small cafe with the kitchen out of the back door and downstairs, keeping the customer area free of fried food smells. Lovely friendly service and the food was reasonably good even if it was slightly overpriced for what it was. The white hot chocolate was particularly yummy and to be recommended.

This is the best breakfast in the country in my opinion. My companions assure me that all the other food is equally delicious, but I just can't persuade myself to abandon the breakfast! Service is prompt and extremely pleasant. The whole experience is a delight.

After calling in for coffee and getting such good service we decided to go back for lunch.The food was all excellent, tasty home cooked fayre. reasonably price plus superb service, I would highly recommend if you want good food and coffee at reasonable prices. and looked after by very attentive staff.

Get down to Café Brisco's before Christmas is here and have one of the beautiful Christmas dinners . We when yesterday 14/12/2017 and yet again David has come up trumps already looking forward to the next one. Big Thanks to all the staff for all the lovely food through out the year, have a nice break over the Christmas and New Year, Fred, Helen ad Mandy

A very nice cafe, pleasant staff and good. traditional British food.well worth a visit,but it,s not very large.

Lovely meal at this hidden gem. Delicious home cooked food. Staff are very polite and welcoming. Exceptionally well on price...

We have popped into this delightful little place on a few occasions when we have been in Newtown. The staff...

We were looking for a cafe for a late breakfast when travelling through mid Wales from Manchester to Swansea. The Trip advisor reviews for this cafe were very good so we stopped in Newtown and called in - we were not disappointed. Superb bacon rolls along with first class coffee made this the perfect pit stop. Friendly, helpful staff added to the experience. We will call again when we next make this trip.

Lovely helpful staff, good knowledge of gf needs, and wheel chair friendly. Nice atmosphere. Busy but not rushed , food was served fairly quickly, well cooked nicely presented.

I've been here a lot lately. It's a really lovely little cafe. The food and drinks are great and the cafe has a peaceful atmosphere. Take out and eat in options. Best toasties in town. Friendly staff. I love eating here.

Service was very good. I had had chocolate with all the trimmings. My husband had coffee (he s very fussy when it comes to his coffee). Both excellent.

Excellent food and coffee. Children loved the milkshakes. Very friendly service. Could not ask for anything more.

My wife and myself on a canal walking holiday, called into this cafe on a weekday afternoon in July 2017 and enjoyed a cake each, many home made and a refreshing drink from the wide range on offer. Female Manager / owner working in cafe with her staff. Took the time and trouble to point out a few places of interest in Newtown and best directions for bus back to Welshpool. Drinks and food very enjoyable and all prices very reasonable. Toilets on site very well maintained. Certainly a place we will re visit when next in the area. Highly recommended for a snack, cake or just a cold or hot drink. JANE AND DEREK JONES, LICHFIELD.

Stopped off at Newport for lunch mid journey and found this delightful cafe. A good mix of sandwiches, fry ups, omelettes, baked potatoes, salads on the on the menu. Staff very friendly and made the children feel welcome. Only negative is that they don't take cards for payment.

What a lovely place to eat. Very friendly staff all round. Food is hot and fresh and generally very good. My only advice is to not over cook the scrabbled egg. Will be back again

Very friendly staff, and excellent home made scone, lovely outside area to sit with the dog would definitely recommend this cafe for stopping in for coffee and cake or a light lunch
