Cafe Express in Powys

We came to this cafe on the recommendation of a friend who comes here regularly on the way to Aberystwyth. We had 2 vegetarian breakfasts which were hot and tasty and a very good portion. We got 3 vege sausages, hash browns, beans, cooked tomatoes, eggs, toast and mushrooms. I altered my brekkie, removing the mushrooms and asking for scrambled egg which they did without any problems. Each brekkie was just £5.50 which we felt was very good value. The server was friendly and the cafe had a nice atmosphere. It is a basic no frills cafe but delivered what we had been told which was very tasty and good value breakfast. We were happy and would definitely go back. Especially at that price!

Exceptional value for money. Two mains and drinks for pennies over £13.00. Delicious food, a huge mouthwatering cheese and tomato on toast came with fresh salad and crisps and a macaroni cheese which was accompanied by plenty of juicy salad and a generous portion of peas and chips. With help yourself sauces and condiments at no extra charge. The area was buzzing with customers enjoying a range of simple but beautifully cooked cafe fare. We sat near the door and watched a procession of customers leaving with satisfied smiles on their faces. Not since pre pandemic times have I left a restaurant/cafe and felt I had experienced great value and good service. We will be back on our next trip through this area.

We stopped during a cold bike ride for coffee. It was not great. A spacious place which was busy on a Saturday. Maybe it is better for fry ups and jacket potatoes which a lot of folk had.

I called in here as a last minute thing with a friend on the way back from Cardiff. The chippy was closed in llandrindod wells so my mate suggested here. I havnt been here for years. We had two coffees and a cheese slice- nothing to write home about and my mate had the better looking steak and kidney pie. It came to just short of 9 quid. I know this is not a lot to some. When I got home I looked at the bill and they over charged for the steak and kidney by 50 p. No big deal. The point is- I was looking around for some ketchup for the pies. I asked the women behind the counter where it was and she replied its 5 p.....I said I only had a quid. She got change she said. I just nodded no. I shant be going there again just for that point. Paying nearly 9 quid and their that tight to charge 5 p for a bit of sauce. Some manners and customer service training wouldn't go amiss also. Live and learn. Two customers not going back. Highly not recommended.

The Cafe is clean and tidy but could do with changing the napkins under table legs (to stop them rocking) more often as they have been mopped-around so many time they look like dishwater. The staff could be more welcoming and friendly. On placing an order for a drink they turn round to the machine, make the drink and place it in front of you, on on you canteen-tray, without any grunt of 'hello' or 'thank you'. I appreciate customer service in Wales in infamously poor but it is shame as there is nowhere else nearby to readily get refreshment. When quite the staff sit together at a table chatting, but don't budge or say anything when a customer walks in.... perhaps they should have a common-room/lounge out-of-sight? The food is standard canteen-style grub. Prepare to queue and reminisce about being in the school canteen with grumpy dinner ladies!

We visited this cafe in the month of August. The staff was very rude. They were even laughing on what we ordered. I wouldn’t recommend to any of my friends to visit this cafe...really disappointed.

Customer service training opportunity here, like most places in Wales they have no CS, if you don't like retail get a different job 😃

Good honest breakfast freshly cooked to order. We’ve been coming here for years for a cooked breakfast, mainly on our travels to Aberystwyth. Now we live just down the road and pop in regularly for breakfast as a treat. If you are looking for a little chef type breakfast, this is the place to come. The staff are always friendly and it’s a busy cafe, but food always arrives promptly and is good value. In my opinion it’s much nicer having a freshly cooked breakfast here than a hotel buffet style breakfast where the food has been hanging around for ages.

Stopped here bank holiday monday morning Reasonably priced, food was very nice and the service was very good Would highly recommend

We visited today. Staff are really friendly. We had two full breakfast, big portions and not too much to pay. Gluten free is not a problem, the restaurant is very clean.

We were disappointed with our breakfast, as it was rather greasy and only lukewarm, we would normally have complained but were on a little bit of a tight schedule as we had to be in Aberystwyth for an appointment. Having said that the staff were very pleasant.

I used this as a half way stop when travelling into Wales and found it a perfectly good place to pause and refresh. The cafe is clean and modern, and reminds me a bit of a Little Chef. There is a good menu of food from classics like the full breakfast up to various burgers, sandwiches and all sorts of drinks. I just went for a bacon sandwich and mug of tea. It was a well filled sandwich and I had no complaints. There is also a petrol station adjoining the cafe, selling a variety of standard mini-mart items like newspapers, snacks and so on. It was the only cafe of it's sort for many miles when driving through this area, so I am pleased that I made the stop off.

The person who served us didn't really want to serve us. I think I interrupted her day. No please or thank you. Coffee was served in a tiny mug and was luke warm and bitter. Food was awfull. Not a very pleasant experience.

Friendly place with hot, tasty, and satisfying food. Oh and veggie friendly. It ain't going to win cuisine awards but is perfect to take a stop, chill, and refuel, whilst out on a ride. They even have visor cleaning spray available. We stopped on a cold, wet day, and after our food, felt ready to hit the road with a will.

stoppedfor lunch very dissapointed waited to place order as staff was busy talkin to previous customer when order we were given order number sat at table waitress came twice to our table with wrong order then when we were served never had full order service was very poor but good value for money food

Paramos aquí. Los clientes eran en su mayoría (amable) los ciclistas y el café era muy ocupado. La comida estaba bien, aunque el café en un vaso pequeño. Sin parar otra vez, ya que no están limitadas parando lugares en la A44. Mi única queja es que el personal podría ser más amable.

Parado en el camino a la costa ha estado aquí un par de veces en el coche o en la bici y el amable personal te bienvenido la comida siempre es buena caliente y abundante con una buena elección que tanto como al precio correcto

Nos detuvimos aquí en el camino de Aberystwyth, decidimos comer algo tenía una papa simple de la chaqueta que estaba muy bien preparadas (piel crujiente corteza) y absolutamente con tapiales con abundante! Una pareja intentó de sus tartas caseras y también estaban muy bien. Aunque sólo pasamos una breve parada y comida sencilla pero sin duda parada aquí de nuevo.

stopped here for cuppa and toilet break I had cheese and tomato sandwich @2.95 nice thick slices of bread and good filling but tea was served in a thick mug and costing 1.75 double the price of lots of other cafes waitress looked as if she did not want to be there and no please or thank you will call again as no where else to break journey

Desperate for a quick snack and hot drink, we spotted the café on the way to visit Abbey Cym hir, choice as good, service was quick and not to expensive

Esta es una parada regular para mí cuando visite Llandrindod Wells. Tienen una buena comida a un buen precio. Me parece que el desayuno muy bueno.
