3rd timd from Coventry to here. No masks this time and I think they had vetted to see if we had our jabs last time. My second time here, just pulled of motorway, heading to Barry. Great franchise with this shop having open windows or doors on front. Perfect for the Bank holiday. Just two coffees.

Update Feb 2024 Toilet is disgusting and unclean. The third time in five weeks of being here. Today only serving takeaway cups making it feel like a prison canteen more than a coffee shop. Poor, it's become too hit and miss recently hoping for improvement and will update _-------- Good coffee, great service. Food is priced as a standard coffee shop and its overall excellent. The seating is plentiful. Possibly only beaten by Against the Grain, but on the high street it's the best.

Friendly service. Coffee is okay, small selection of rolls, sandwiches and cakes. Allows dogs. Needs more staff at lunch time. Since being owned by Café Nero the choice, quality and service* has declined. *due to the lack of staff. Upstairs seating and toilets were closed.

Great spot on the high street to grab a takeaway coffee (and bit of cake!) or to meet friends. Plenty of seating, outdoor seating area and good choice of food and drink. However, have had consistently substandard service here - staff are slow making the drinks which leads to long queues, but no acknowledgment of the long wait time…and they are always sullen and look absolutely miserable! I now choose to go to the other local coffee chain for a better, friendlier atmosphere

Recently paid a visit to this coffee spot in Whitchurch and was chuffed with the standard of their brews. The barista brewed a lovely, smooth cuppa. The atmosphere was cosy and inviting, making it the perfect place to put your feet up and enjoy a coffee. Efficiency was spot on as well, the service was quick and sharp, with the staff making sure everyone was sorted in a jiffy. They also offered a wide range of pastries and baked goods to go with your coffee, making this a great pit stop for a breakfast or a mid-morning treat. What's more, the prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for money. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone on the lookout for a quality coffee in Whitchurch. Keep it up!

Have been numerous times. The staff are usually lovely. Cakes were still frozen on the last visit so unable to sample but have had a lovely scone there previously. Their luxury hot chocolate is delicious and the coffee is also very good. The shop itself is very shabby and in desperate need of some new furniture so I don't visit often.

I've been here loads of times on my own, came in Today with my disabled daughter in wheelchair, no offer at all to help cary hot drinks to table, so had to carry hers and push wheelchair to get her settled and quickly run back to get mine, pretty stressful as I couldn't see her for a couple of minutes, she doesn't do well if she can't see me, for what would have taken 2 minutes of their time would have made a huge difference to us.

Coffee is decent for a chain coffee shop. They offer typical cakes and sandwiches / toasted panini's. Fine for a quick snack and drink . Breakfast menu with porridge and toast as well. I recommend the blueberry porridge with maple syrup. Plenty of room to sit, outdoors and upstairs as well. Dog friendly.

Coffee Chain that started on Albany Road in Cardiff, their house blend to me is the best on the high street in terms of what would be classed as chain coffee shops. The staff are always friendly and the app is a really useful tool to collect points and also pay for your beverages without having to open another payment app. The whitchurch branch has loads of seating and the outdoor area is a suntrap when the conditions are right. Coffee #1 is always my go to for coffee (and the occasional cake) when I'm in Whitchurch.

Whilst the service is ok, always seem short staffed at busy times,so tables not cleared of dirty dishes and have had to clear them myself and tables not wiped or sanatised when staff do get round to clearing them,also who ever is in charge of ordering stock for weekends needs to check stock levels more closely as have been on a few weekends recently in the mornings and not late in the day and they have had no bread for toast, limited choice of sandwiches and no bacon or sausage baps , surely they realise they are busy at weekends so need to be prepared.

Primer fin de semana desde el encierro, y descubro que mi sobrina tiene la mejor cafetería del pueblo. Siempre mi favorito, y mis primeros hábitos significan que puedo tomar uno antes de que los niños se despierten. Golosinas de la pequeña ciudad.Avance rápido 24 horas, sin niños, solo un destino. Pida café y croissant de natillas de almendras tan cacareada. La orden se entrega y la tarjeta no funciona: fuera de casa y demasiados pagos sin contacto. Café y croissant en el mostrador. . . "No hay problema, tengo efectivo". No aceptan efectivo. La chica muy educada y agradable le pregunta al gerente, quien paga con su tarjeta. Le doy el dinero en efectivo y lo pone en la caja de propinas del personal. Café, croissant, servicio al cliente: de primera categoría. Y soy MUY exigente con mi café.

There's a reason locals don't go here. Original review: Really really average - feels like a classic case of a new bar in Cardiff so let's rave about it. Drinks range is average at best, if not quite poor and not seasonally reflective (no non bottled cider other than stuff like dark fruits). Drinks are fairly expensive - £4 a pint. Served a pint in a broken glass too, broken to the point it should have been thrown out. Some of the staff were nice (more senior ones) but the younger bar staff were short bordering on rude. Expected to hand my card over and not be shown how much I was being charged but rather told and expected to accept it, asking for a receipt seemed to be a major inconvenience for them. Decor is very nice and it's clean and tidy but it is new. Outdoor space out the back is a bit bland but serviceable. Didn't try the food. Update: Outdoor space is much better now following the updates this year. Still overpriced.

Visited for the first time yesterday and would totally recommend. Fab little tearoom in a beautiful setting. Went for coffee and cake but couldn't resist the savoury snacks first! (Hog roast sausage rolls, lamb and mint pasty & leek and cheese pasty all very good). Cakes were delicious and super fresh, don't miss the Spiced Plum cake if there's any left when you visit! I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and setting. Drinks and food are served in recyclable card cups and boxes, but I honestly can't see why other reviewers have had a problem with this. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we'll definitely be back, thankyou. (N. B. If you enjoy reading there's a fantastic little second hand book shop, Butlers Books, in the main Insole Court House)
