Cofio Lounge in Carmarthenshire

Established in an old county court building, they kept History and modern styling in way that you feel like travelling through the time while sitting and enjoying your meals......Can't fault it

Delicious meal, well seasoned. Good choice of options, caters for vegans and people who can't have gluten. Interesting interior decor/building. Worth a visit!

Fantastic place.... service good... price good... waiting times were minimal... choice of food on menus was exceptional!! From tacos to sundaes.. steak to sushi and sorbet ..... this place prides it's self on taste.. speed.. and service in wich it provides all of the above...

Cracking coffee shop and good food also dog friendly

Lovely place. We were served by a lady called Kelly, she is amazing, we’ve come in with a child with autism and Kelly couldn’t do enough to be helpful. Made the stay amazing. Aside from that all the bar staff were also fantastic. Now onto the food, it was delicious. So if you’re visiting this area, or not, pop in it’s well worth the it. Great food, amazing staff and especially Kelly. Ps I don’t know Kelly, but you have to mention the ones who stick out as helpful the most.

1) Elderflower spritz tasted of nothing but mint despite mint not being mentioned on menu 2) Chicken and avacado burger and chips were lukewarm and had obviously been sitting waiting for some time to be brought out 3) Burrito was nice but side order of chips had been forgotten. Was brought out later and was only hot item we received. There was a bit of plastic packaging in the tortilla chips on the plate. 4) There is no such thing as service here. When ordering there were 5 people behind the bar all of whom were talking to each other rather than paying attention to the customers including the person taking the order who continued talking to her colleagues throughout. The cocktail took some time to arrive and was originally offerred to the wrong table. No-one bothered to check if the meal was acceptable at any point. Most of them seemed too busy chatting with each other to care about anything else. At best on a par with a bad McDonalds not a proper restaurant. 5) atmosphere was ok but the bench seats were worn and in need of restuffing.

Cold Food, inattentive waitress,drinks were ok had to wait a while for sides average at best

Beautiful building, friendly welcoming staff and the cookie dough dessert was amazing xx

Lovely vibe, delicious food, great service!

Would recommend to anyone! Lovely atmosphere and great selection of options. You can order at the bar or via QR code. Prices are reasonable and food is good quality. The building itself is lovely.

First visit had a lovely breakfast/coffee highly recommend.

Stopped for some brunch and served quickly and the food was really good. Will be visiting again.for sure.

Two of us called in for lunch, offered high table (that seats 5) explained I had a damaged spine and need a normal table, told we couldn't have any of the numerous empty tables for 4. Avoid if you have any additional requirements.

Very pleasantly surprised. Great decor, chatty staff Perhaps a touch on the pricey side but we enjoyed our brunch very much

I recommend it both for the menu and for the space.

Stopped here for a coffee and snack, and I'm so glad we did! I love the decor and the staff were lovely. Service was very quick and I appreciate being able to order online and customise everything. Will be back!

Had a nice meal here, the portions were rather small for the price however the service was good and food was good.

Just left the establishment and 1 word disgusting cold breakfast with a black pudding which you could crack flooring with. Whoever the chef is needs to go and learn the basics..

Really lovely place with tasty food and a friendly ambience. The music is however way too loud and also pointless.

Had a nice coffee & great burger & chips. Lovely surroundings, good location and great staff

I usually don't bother doing reviews but this place was so lovely that I had to. The staff were amazing, best I have come across and the food was gorgeous. Wish this place was in my hometown. Also love the decor. 5 star plus from me.

One of our favourites due to the gluten free and vegan menus

It was ok, but I probably won’t go back

Went here midweek for dinner arriving about 6pm. Plenty of tables free but a decent amount of people eating for a cold, midweek night in February. Staff are pleasant and quick to serve. Both of us had a burger and both very tasty, reasonably priced too. The building is historic with a court room upstairs still intact and authentic, a good venue and worth a visit if visiting Carmarthen

First time here. Pleasantly surprised with atmosphere, choice of food and drink and setting. Staff very welcoming and pleasant. Will definitely recommend.

It's our go to place when shopping in Carmarthen

Always a great place in the center of town to meet friends for coffee and a meal.

Really lovely place very friendly staff and the full breakfast was so good. 👌 Great place to go to start your day of shopping.

Can always rely on this and the other Lounges for good food and drink... particularly enjoy the quirky decor, wall art and spaciousness of the place. And excellent menu choice for GF, vegan, kids.

This is a great place for Gluten Free food. The lounges train their staff to a high level, and there is a great selection. Have never had a reaction in any of these Former courthouse which is beautiful inside. Great range of drinks as well. The buttermilk chicken and halloumi fries are a great GF treat. My wife had the flat bread and they always make it clear to separate out the meals. The GF means the manager has to serve you to make sure accountability.

Put simply the only nice part ofmy meal was the chips, the buttermilk chivken was worse than what i get in a tesco meal deal and the mac and cheese was equivelent to a microwavable gone off turd

Good food but expensive for what you get

Amazing food as always, me and mum always come here for brunch. Always very well cooked and delicious. And prices are very reasonable. Shall be returning again often

Met with an old friend for a catch up and brunch. Great setting and plenty of choice on the menu. Lovely atmosphere with very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Great food, lovely atmosphere, super building, big but still comfy.

Atmosphere is superb. A real buzz about the place. Service is really good and staff are all friendly. Food was ok, but not good enough for the amount paid.

Consistently come here for the great service, delicious food and drink and amazing atmosphere! Highly recommend 😍 staff are always so friendly and helpful, AMAZING!

Was really happy with the salad I had. Everyone else’s dishes looked great too, especially the tapas. One of our party members was disappointed there was no british beer on tap (they’re visiting from abroad) but I really liked the elderflower alcohol free cocktail I had

Every time we go to Carmarthen, we eat at the Cofio Lounge. We order on the QR code to make life a little easier with a small child. The food quality is always superb and arrives in good time. The choice is great, but having been so many times, we end up ordering the same meals now! The facilities are clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you want to eat at Cofio Lounge at lunch or dinner, get there well in advance otherwise you will be waiting for half an hour plus as it is popular. Highly recommended.

I come here often with my friends, which tells you everything you need to know really. It's a really nice place with great food and wonderful service. I will continue to visit here. No complaints.

I went here today for a change. I had never been here before. I was looking forward, but left there with disappointment. This place was one of the only places that were open since a load of shops were closed on Sunday. Firstly, we had taken a seat, decided what to order and sat there for quite a while, waiting for someone to come and collect the orders. If someone had told us to order by the till, this would have been more convenient. I ordered a buttermilk chicken breast which came with coleslaw and chips. When this arrived, there wasn’t much on the plate. The chips were lukewarm. The chicken was slightly dry and very bland. The only redeemable food was the coleslaw. I wanted to ask for a refund, but the staff members were too busy and we didn’t have time. I have had experience working in a coffee shop / cafe and this sort of standard is not acceptable. I won’t be coming here again. There was nothing much positive to write home about. I would suggest other people to find someplace else, such as the Warren or Pinto’s where they opt for quality food and ensure good customer service. I am still hungry after leaving an hour and half ago.

Had a brilliant works Christmas/baby shower party last night. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Food was tasty and staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely returning with my husband for food

Came in to get food and somwthing drink, i asked for an irish coffee, and the emo looking girl said, "You dont have a licnese to make such a thing and the blonde girl said that too" i had repeat table number a few times to the emo scene looking girl. Thwy have me an americano and shot whiskey on side... Ahteo lounge in aberwyswyth can do an irish coffee

junk not a full English it wouldnt feed a child

Love this place. Good menu, good food, good attentive Team. Historic setting in the old courthouse at the heart of the market town of Carmarthen.

Food was quite nice, reasonable portions and came quickly. Staff pleasant. It was a Friday and really busy so perhaps book. I was more impressed with the building - a converted court! If you go upstairs to the toilets, the old court room with all of the seats and booths etc is preserved for you to see. Quite a surprise!

We enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again soon.

You expect hospitality businesses to make mistakes occasionally, especially at busy times, but if an allergy order is wrong and the replacement takes as long as the initial order, I wonder if processes can be tweaked a little. Like for instance, put the corrected order to the front of the queue? A party of two effectively ended up eating separately. Better next time, hopefully 🙂

The last time was here a few weeks ago for breakfast it was equally as good!!.. today it was more-so a light lunch and again it was excellent! Aided by the pleasant nature of the staff, a smile and warm greeting on arrival, and a shout over the bar as leaving…. “Thank you!!” (It means a lot) Will be in again when in the area!

Fab place, amazing history of the building.

Great cafe, great food and atmosphere..all the way five stars 🌟

Relaxing atmosphere fast service lovely staff. Enjoyed our coffee cake and meal. Only wish is that they served Coal town coffee ☕️ and it would be our favourite place.

Enjoyed a tasty meal this afternoon. Great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Great food , atmosphere and staff , will definitely go again

I was served by Frayer if I spelt that right of not she was very happy bubbly made me feel welcome!!!!! The food is good have eaten at this pub before. Thanks for the service

Best place been to for a long time. Staff so friendly food amazing, will go back there for sure .

Amazing gluten free selection. Food was delicious.

Went there with my wife for a birthday lunch. Was wonderful service and the food was amazing. Would love to go back.

Great lunch with excellent tapas, halloumi fries and ginger beer! Great decor, friendly staff, recommended

It can be very hard to eat safely when I’m out as I am very gluten intolerant. It’s so fantastic to come here and be handed a whole menu of foods that I can have. A special member of staff takes your order and they are fully aware of cross contamination. I have eaten here 3 times now and not been ill. And the food is absolutely lovely. The fries are the best I’ve ever had . The service was fast, efficient and very friendly. If I didn’t live in Ireland I’d eat here regularly.

We were on our way from Yorkshire to Tenby and stopped in Carmarthen for a late lunch. We came across the Cofio Lounge and thought it looked an interesting building. It was beautifully and uniquely decorated and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. The trip upstairs to the toilets was rewarded with a peak at the old court room. Definitely recommend for a lunch or coffee stop.

We both had a flat bread - quite tasty but a bit pricey for what it was. All good otherwise.

Just on the off chance visit to carmarthen we came across this lovely place ...food was stunning atmosphere n decor a delight ...service 10/10. Will definitely call again

Very welcoming and good quality.

Lovely coffee and cake, served by two lovely people. A bit dark inside but we sat outside.

After been told to sit anywhere and waiting another 15 minutes I left the restaurant. The only contact I had with a waitress was when she delivered someone else's meal to me and I informed her that I had not ordered yet. She did not come back to me. Definitely not the service I am accustomed to.

Sadly, not great meals. Our last visit was lovely but not last night. Over cooked food and dry cake. It's a shame as it spoilt our evening. The chef was clearly off their A game

There were 8 of us called foe lunch, only 7 meals turned up, had to reorder by the time it turned up everyone else had finished their food, Poor service

Sitio muy acogedor, se come genial, muy sabroso. Atención al público más de 10. Lo mejor en Carmarthen, reúne belleza, sabor, profesionalidad y mucha dulzura por parte del personal. Enhorabuena a ese conjunto de personas!!

Great place to relax over coffee or lunch. So much nicer than the "chains".

Amazing food fantastic service well worth a visit food is amazing will definitely come back again hidden Jen for Carmarthen

Fabulous building right in the middle of town steeped in history. We had breakfast today and we all agreed it was lush. Three full breakfast one eggs benedict. All was cooked to perfection. The eggs were absolutely lovely. Staff were really nice and welcoming. If you are in town this is definitely a place to visit.

Nicely decorated place, clean toilets with a court area upstairs. Long wait for food, ordered Tapas, not a big choice & basic without a Spanish taste, other food choices ok

This was our first visit and we absolutely loved it. The building has such a lovely feel to it you can just feel the history around you. I loved the maximalist decor with lots of colour and opulence. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We will definitely come again.

I love coming here when I have a tough day or before work. I already have my favourite food and favourite spots and have never been disappointed. Today's music playlist was exceptionally good. I enjoy the atmosphere and the amount of details. The staff are busy because of the amount of guests, but they are always polite and friendly.

Food was lovely but 4 out of 8 of our party came down with a nasty virus at the same time after eating here. Definitely not a coincidence as we hadn’t been anywhere else to catch anything. Hygiene standards need assessing here.

Drinks good. Ordered and paid by app. Speedy service.

I really enjoyed my meal (the chilli) but the others in the group felt their meals were just ok. The thing that let it down the most was the 50 min wait between finishing mains and deserts arriving despite ordering it all on the app at the start of the meal. We ordered coffees separately after finishing our mains and they arrived in about 10 mins but there must have been a mistake with them notifying the kitchen that we were ready for desert as we ended up having to ask twice. The kids were fed up of waiting and wanting to leave…but we’d already paid for the food on the app. When the churros arrived the kids were underwhelmed. Hardly any cinnamon and the choc sauce dip wasn’t proper chocolate, just a syrupy sugary liquid. For £7..something each they weren’t worth the money or the wait! Our waitress was very polite and apologised for the wait. It was just a shame it happened.

1st time visiting! Service was fantastic, food was amazing! Sat in the backroom and couldn't fault anything! Will definitely be back!

Visited for coffee but next time we will have food too! Everything was great, service was quick and friendly. Very efficient system with the QR code which makes life so much easier. Good prices and a great menu!

Second visit, and just as pleased as the first time. Great service, outstanding food. Even to the point where I'm planning a special trip to introduce my partner to the menu next time we're nearby Great stuff.

Decent food in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Tables inside and out. Very dog friendly

Looking for a brunch stop while on a tour. This place was selected from TripAdvisor. We usually try and find somewhere just off the road, but this place was in the town itself. The grumbling soon stopped when we were served our food. Very friendly staff and truly excellent dishes all round. I had the shaksuka (with chorizo) and it was superb. Likewise my coffee was wonderful. Lovely surroundings and a spotless gents toilet. We won't be complaining when we are travelling through Carmarthen next time. There will be a bee line for this place.

Very beautiful building with cozy seating areas. Food was tasty and the price quality was excellent. Highly recommended for vegetarians and people who eat gluten-free. Even with this combination there was still a lot of choice for me! Gluten-free comes out of the kitchen with a clear flag. Highly recommended! Order via QR code

Interesting building being an old court house, great place for coffee and lunch or cocktails and dinner! Good selection of veggie and vegan options and dog friendly. Small amount of outdoor seating.

Went there for lunch with colleagues. Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Food came in time and was delicious. A+++

Really lovely food and not to expensive. There are plenty of vegetarian options. My granddaughter and I had a fantastic macaroni cheese

Absolutely lovely and right in the middle of town. Dog friendly is right - my one was welcomed in and had his own little bowl of water! Brunch was superb and highly recommended

Ordered the sausage sandwich, recieved 1 sausage cut into quarters. Didn’t even taste nice. Waitress checked that this is how it comes. & yes it it. Shocking.

My wife ordered my self poached egg on muff With no hollandaise sauce. When it came the muffin was like eating soggy bread .when I complained about this and the price which was £8.75 not very Happy. Want be back.

We all enjoyed our food, but service was very slow which was probably due to it being a very busy lunch time.

Great coffee and treats and water for the dog.

One of the "lounge" brand of food pubs. Nice food comparable with others in the chain. The chain is a good place for eating alone as you can get a table then order with a QR code so you don't lose your table.

Excellent food and quick service

All round great experience, best tapas ever, intimate environment beautiful decor and efficient and friendly service!!! Thank you so much.

Excellent meal. First time we've visited and will definitely be calling again.

Cofio has been opened a couple of years now , and Friday was first time I tried their food. Just to say never again, my burger which is simple to make was dry as a bone and inedible, total waste of money, left there hungry. Cofio is a chain so didn't expect much but if they have a cook it should be cooked right The place was not busy considering it was lunch hour but maybe prices of drinks which were very expensive and quality of food has put people off. I won't be calling again.

Very busy, staff extremely helpful and efficient in getting a table organised for us. Really impressed. Food good as always and good we can include our dog on our visit.

Coffee not bad and service with a smile. Great atmosphere too.

Lovely welcome from all the staff and amazing breakfast. Highley recommend smashed avocado and honey combe hot chocolate delicious.
