Caffi Soar in Merthyr Tydfil

Went to the Spiritual evening and was made very welcome thank you

Lovely place, lovely people....thank you very much!

Fantastic place. Alot of history. Alot of different classes for all ages.

Very atmospheric setting , and steeped in History too

Superb little venue with a nice cafe adjacent and small concert hall in the Upper level of the former Chapel. Privileged to see Calan, and ably supported by local group The Marcellas. A fantastic first time for me at this venue.

What a great venue and a great night watching The Marcellas and Calan.

Enjoyed the concert and it's a great place to visit. I love organ.

A welcoming environment, and very tasty refreshments. I will make sure I visit here whenever I am in Merthyr. I did not have time to browse the bookshop or attend a performance, but hope to another time. Diolch o galon i bawb!

Nice big space we rent out, start providing a sound bath service here. Lovely acoustics and plenty of floor room and lots of stalls or seats. Easy to find and plenty of parking. Staff are very helpful.

A cozy and welcoming centre. I will go back for sure.

Experienced Lullaby for Mother here last night. Haven't been in Merthyr for quite a while. Large carpark around the rear, nice bar with a selection of bottled drinks. A nice opportunity to practice Welsh in a very relaxed setting. The theatre itself is beautiful with what I think is a very large church organ in the back, raised seating in stalls. Acoustically the venue was actually quite immersive.

We didn't pop in to see a show as such, my wife and I dropped in for a quick coffee. The coffee was good and reasonably priced. Not the best coffee I've had but certainly not the worst. The cafe was really quiet at the time we visited. There was a choice of seating inside and outside. I particularly liked the outside seating area as it has a glass shelter. There was a guy playing a guitar inside as we were leaving which gave the cafe a nice relaxed vibe. I'm pretty local and didn't know the place existed.

Very nice place, so much bigger inside than what it looks from outside. Lovely little theatre.

What a gem! Right in the heart of Merthyr town. Café is clean, modern and reasonably priced

Lovely setting stunning food great service fresh produce great coffee friendly staff the Welsh shop is a bonus great books and gifts

Cawson ni noson arbennig yn wrando ar Dafydd Iwan. Roedd y cyngerdd yn wych ac roedd y theatr yn hyfryd. Hoffen ni mynd yn ôl yn y dyfodol.

An interesting place . Outside a group of musicians were playing . They get together every week to play together. Inside a ukrainian coffee morning. Very friendly

Amazing little theatre!!! Still good.

Very welcoming and creative place... PS. The bacon sandwich was remarkably tasty.

Lovely building used for many different things

Great guys great atmosphere there!

Culture, history, art, music, a lovely welsh shop and cafe and just a wonderful place to be.

My wife and I have been visiting Caffi Soar for the best part of a year.We call in at least once a week after doing our grocery shopping .We never fail to receive a warm welcome from Jamie and the rest of the team. Jamie is always chatty and friendly.At each visit we usually have sandwiches,coffee and soft drinks.Everything is always brought to the table promptly ,we never have to wait.Caffi Soar is a welcoming and safe haven in these extaordinary times we are living in at present.We look forward to many more visits.

Excellent service received from Jamie. Food is good quality and value. I have my orders delivered and Jamie will go the extra mile with service

Excellent coffee, Welsh cakes and service. Diolch, Jamie a Mari. Diolch, Hefina am drefnu.

This cafe is a hidden gem and it’s a pity that more people didn’t utilise the facility. The cafe is open to the general public and there is a variety of meals to chose from as well as coffees teas and snacks.

Gwych! Coffi a bwyd blasus. Croeso cynnes

Great little theatre with some fantastic local talent on show. Well worth a visit.

Always a warm welcome from the staff, comfy and peaceful atmosphere. Really lovely food and coffee too! Can't beat it!!

Great coffee and Welsh cakes, chocolate brownies and ice cream, tiffin and a chance to practice Welsh. Staff very welcoming and a great space. Diolch yn fawr!

I visited here for the first time today and I was really impressed. The atmosphere was very friendly and the service was excellent. My lunch was served quickly, was well presented and tasted really good. I finished off with a home made Welsh cake which was every bit as good as my grandmother used to make! I will definitely be going back again.

A very welcoming cosy cafe where you can practice your welsh skills. Staff are very accommodating, friendly and polite. Food is cooked fresh on premises and is lovely with some lovely treats like warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. Wide range of coffees and healthy meals. They also do kids meal deal! They also have a welsh bookshop onsite which is very charming! Defo need to visit when in Merthyr! We go to Merthyr just to visit the cafe and the amazing staff. One thing to note - they don’t accept cards so take cash.

Staff always helpful and friendly. Cafe is great I can recommend the welsh cakes they are delicious.

Having discovered this amazing jewel in Merthyr town centre while working near by I had to choose it for my farewell party when I left my job. All my work colleagues were over the moon at the food and the service. There was an additional treat of live music session during our time there. Since leaving my job I have been back to visit the town and of course I headed straight back to Caffi Soar. Great food, great service & great value for money.

A lovely place to meet for food or just a coffee and a chat. Everyone made to feel welcome, excellent place to practice Welsh if you are a learner. Jamie always ready to help in anyway he can. Food excellent and all freshly prepared, pice a maen (welsh cakes) are delicious and too moreish for words. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the Merthyr area. Dai iawn Jamie!

Caffi Soar is a lovely independent cafe - cozy, welcoming, very affordable and always a pleasure to visit.

Lle hyfryd gyda pharcio am ddim yng nghanol y dre. Croeso cynnes Cymraeg, staff croesawgar a chyfeillgar, bwyd da a choffi da. Merthyr ar ei gore.

Friendly place where a warm welcome awaits, café serves good coffee and I can't resist the very good home-made Welsh cakes. Lots of Welsh to be heard being spoken by staff, visitors and learners who meet up for a chat and/or a class. Check it out! Caroline

Arranged to meet someone in Merthyr and this cafe was their suggestion. It is a bit tucked away though, but looking in the right direction it becomes obvious. I was pleasantly surprised with very nice coffee being served inside. Reasonably priced plentiful car parking outside to the rear. The cafe is part of the theatre Soar - Canolfan a Theatr Soar and if getting there by car can be approached to the very rear of the Castle Street Car Park in Merthyr.
