Crwst in Ceredigion

Would Definitely recommend it as a bakery, perhaps not so much as a place to grab a meal. We got two meals for brunch, which came to about £30, much more expensive than the other cafes around. The portions of the breakfast was tiny. One sausage, two slices of bacon. A bit too little. However, baked goods wise it was delicious, the best vanilla doughnut I've ever had! Would go again for baked goods, definitely not for a meal.

Great, freshly cooked food, good vegan options, friendly staff, very good....

The food here is super and it is dog friendly so you can combine a great breakfast with walking the dogs at nearby Poppit. I also buy excellent sourdough bread here. However, the ordering really needs sorting out. Please provide separate and clearly signposted tills for takeaway and the cafe. I waited almost 15 minutes to buy bread this morning while numerous people in the same queue placed large breakfast orders. It really isn't a customer friendly way to order. Three members of staff were positioned in the cafe area (often waiting for something to do) perhaps they could take table orders.

Very rude customer service from a young girl who wanted me to know that she didn’t want to be there. Yawned in my face and rolled her eyes. Her colleague actually looked embarrassed when she asked her when they closed, which is an odd question seeing as she worked there too?! Customer service industry is obviously not for her.

It wasn't busy that morning do it's easy and quick service. Enjoyed it.

Food was really good and quick. Staff was great. Caitlin was very sweet and made the meal that much better!

We regularly visit Crwst and have never been disappointed. It all tastes great. Can't help but grab the glazed vanilla doughnut on the way out...

Love love love Crwst! Whenever I’m in the area it’s a must go- arguably the best cafe in Wales!!👏 Get some doughnuts and salted caramel sauce on the way out too!

Stumbled upon Crwst whilst on a bumble to get some groceries and really pleased we did, absolutely gorgeous food, fabulous staff and great value. Would highly recommend a visit to Crwst when visiting Aberteifi.

Great place for a quick bite while strolling in Cardigan. Food is tasty, the stuff is friendly, the service is quick and the atmosphere is good. Only issue, is that you cannot place your order with the waiter, but have to either do it online or go the cashier.

Being a local in the area gave local business our support only to find myself Being ripped off with extortionate prices aimed probably at tourism I mean £28.00 for a breakfast a chicken and bacon roll And 2 coffees It the breakfast was special then I wouldn't have minded the price but it was the worst breakfast I've had for a long time. My disappointment was voiced to our waiter who you would have thought would have told his manager but no one came to see us so we left never to return so my advice is if you have worked hard for your money then don't go to Crwst

Wow 🤩 thank you to the lovely efficient staff for fitting us in on a busy saturday morning. we all ordered different things for brunch and everything was delicious. especially loved the seaweed hash browns & turkish eggs! the pastries and the deli goods were also amazing, highly recommend

Ate at Crwst last week on holiday. Asked about gluten free options and the staff were clued in to cross contamination. I had a bacon roll on a gf bap with fries and an organic cola. The bap was the best gf bread I’ve ever had, the bacon was delicious and the fries are possibly the best I’ve ever had. My partner was also very happy with his burger. Nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Recommended.

Very expensive...3.50 for a slice of black pudding!! ! £28. 2 coffees. I breakfast and a roll and crisps!!!! Definitely not going again!!

1st visit to this restaurant 1st impression very friendly waiting staff very pleasant then it goes downhill Orders were 2 coffees 1 chicken and bacon roll And one full breakfast £28.00wow ok wait till it arrives it will probably be very good for that price then another wow out comes the breakfast what a disappointment half a tomato 2 small shrivelled up bacon ( bare in mind they charge £2 a slice if you ask for extra 1 sausage some mushrooms and A egg and 2 halfs of toast oh I also had black pudding at £ 3.50 EXtra And beans, they looked like they had been left out in the sun for a week For the price it is the most disgusting breakfast I have ever had for the price we are local people not tourist when asked by a member of staff if everything was OK I voiced my opinion as to the cost for the quantity and he just left with no explanation So at this point, you would think a senior member of staff would have paid a visit to our table not a chance Well needles to say I ate all of my minute breakfast which probably cost more than a staff hourly rate much to my disappointment to the extortionate price So to round up this experience I will never set foot in that place again and I will not ever going to recommend it to any of my friends So sad to see local business rip off local support thumbs down for me I'm afraid

Really good food here. We went here for brunch, had the full brekkie. Amazing quality food and good service. Ordered the side of hash browns, the BEST item on the menu, the most crispiest and tasteful hashbrowns I've ever had. They've also got an amazing takeaway section for treats including a massive cinnamon bun and small filled doughnuts. Would definitely go back and enjoy more

Staff always appear happy & helpful 😊 & the plus is the food is always fresh & tasty...

Fantastic lunch of halloumi burger and a side of cockles, laverbread and bacon gratin, which we loved. Super friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely come here again

Truly excellent food and friendly, professional staff.

Thank you Hedydd for the most fabulous Lemon Meringue Celebration cake! It made the best showstopper for our 74th Wedding Anniversary celebrations! The cake was well packed and the topping well protected, and following your instructions of taking it out of the fridge for 30 mins before serving was perfect. The sponge was firm but moist and the cake had just the right level of lemon tartness to it. Fabulous, would highly recommend and hope very much to sample the Eton Mess next year!

What a lovely place this is. We only popped in for a cuppa, and after seeing the food going out to the customers, we had to try. The Egg Royale was delicious 😋 The smoked salmon was amazing and so fresh, all washed down with their own coffee ☕️ they also sell cakes, that looked amazing. Beautiful place, well recommended 👌

Amazing food, massive portions, excellent service and to top it off dogs are welcome! You have to try the hashbrowns, they are amazing. First class - really excellent brunch, thank you

Wow - come when you’re hungry as they don’t skimp on portion sizes!! Brunch here was amazing. The eggs royale were exceptional and the hashbrowns are something else!! Best I’ve ever had. Husband had the full breakfast which looked amazing too. Excellent coffee, amazing food and brilliant service - what more could you ask for? Oh! And dog friendly too - bonus!

Beautiful place to go for coffee/tea or food. Usually come on a Sunday but came in the week and was really lovely. Enjoyed the cinnamon bun! Friendly, smiley staff and helpful to us. An overall relaxing, chilled atmosphere. Enjoy coming here.

Very average. Over hyped to us so was expecting something good. Very expensive, bit dirty (especially the massive windows all along the shop front), minimal, un-attentive service, everything is charged as an extra on the menu (even cream for your coffee), and it was 20° outside and they had the fire on; too warm. We were told you had to book, as so popular, we did so a few days ahead and arrived to a near empty gaff that never exceeded 1/3 full while we were there. Vacated tables left uncleared for 30 mins and after being seated, wasn't spoken to beyond average food being delivered. E.g. I had "full" breakfast at over £13 and had to buy a 2nd egg. Shambles. The beans came in a thimble (2 mouth fulls) and the sausage was poor, even tho t was big and looked like a proper butchers sausage. Eggs snotty and small and coffee unremarkable. Over rated and over priced. Don't bother.

A very flavourful lunch experience. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. A deli too with a wide offering. Highly recommended

The best breakfast place to have breakfast in Cardigan, good quality food and portions.

Great experience in here, fab food, friendly staff and lovely upbeat atmosphere.

Great food, amazing amount of choice. Great kids menu too.

I had the franch tost and it was delicious!!! My 1st time having it. Lovely location brilliant staff and atmosphere.

I used to think Faun in Malvern was the best until I came here. Exceptional food and service, 5 star plus!!

The food was delicious!!! You couldn't ask for a better breakfast/brunch. Everything was fresh, chosen from a well laid out menu which offered a good choice for everyone. The service was good but I didn't like having to queue at the till to make payment and would've preferred it taken at the table. But that shouldn't put anyone off, it was a lovely visit!

We (4 of us) arrived at the door for 1:30 and we’re told unfortunately there we no tables available right there and then but could book for 2pm which was fantastic news, only a half hour wait. We returned on time at 2pm to be greeted by the very same person (American lady) that had organised the booking for us. She was oblivious to ever seeing us before, I reminded her that we were booked for 2pm at which point she took us to a table for two and threw the menus on the table. I told her the table wasn’t appropriate and that we’d booked the table for 4 people. She flew off the handle, berated me about the fact she’s sees 50 different people in an hour and how was she to know! Anyway we resolved the issue by sitting at a table that was free when we’d first visited at 1:30. Nobody takes your order, you have to do it through a QR code like we used to back in the COVID days, come on really….. this is now just lazy. My food was amazing and my wife’s still going on about how great the yoghurt was, one of our party had avocado on toast. The toast was made from sourdough and unfortunately too tough to cut up or even eat. Moral of the story, visit here if you wish to be verbally abused by a middle aged, American and break your teeth on the toast.

Good location with a wide range of food and drinks on offer. We visited on a busy bank holiday weekend which probably explains that some of the food was cold. There was also nearly an hour's wait.

One of the best hallumi bunger I have ever had

We had breakfast here, the food was very good but the iced latte was poor. Served in a kids size glass, very weak couldn't taste the coffee. Floor was unclean. Asked for allergen list for a breakfast product to which they said their list hadn't been updated with the product. Chef came out to tell me the allergens.. which is ok but not good enough. Noisy atmosphere and cold metal seats. I have been here before but won't bother again.

Haven't visited for a long while so not sure if taken over by new team.Disappointed this visit,they forgot our order so waited a long while for Tiast and Granola.Coffee cold by this time.The lady at till was grumpy and everything seemed too much trouble.The granola was lovely but tinned strawberries not fresh ones and the portion definitely smaller than last time.

Best egg royale I’ve had for a while Great food Was a bit busy and definitely needs booking

First class friendly service at the door, prompt to a table. The coffee was some of the best I've had in a long time (I'm a coffee snob and have just spent 3 weeks in the States) so I had 2 cups. the bacon roll was delicious and a round of toast and home made jam, outstanding!

Very nice place, welcoming And nice food with a good service

This was my first experience at this restaurant. Sadly we couldn't get a table so definitely make a reservation for your visit. They do have a carry out line which moves quickly so was able to sit outside at one of the picnic tables. Now the donuts - wow - sugar covered filled with salted caramel - very good. Also took a chocolate chip cookies for later and that was tasty also. Next time I will make a reservation so I can try the menu

Lively atmosphere, great food, really worth a visit.

We popped in yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed the bacon and fried egg butty. Plenty of bacon and the fried egg was perfect. The whole butty tasted scrumptious 😋 Thank Muna David and Locan x

Fabulous food and vibe. Eat, shop, eat, return

Good food and coffee, but very noisy.

rude barista, poor service and very poor communication between workers. we paid for our drinks (2) which was then followed with a customer being served 4 coffees (we ordered ice lattes), after that several other customers were served who ordered after us. when i asked about the order, i was presented with appalling attitude from the young barista as if it was MY fault that she didn’t get my order. after we spoke about the situation, she served another two customers and once we had our order she slammed them down on the counter. if you can’t handle your job, don’t do it. and don’t make the customers feel like it’s their fault when it’s really the poor communication between workers’ fault.

We visited as a party of 3. Myself and 2 children. The ambience was lovely and the food delicious. But as a parent of a child with additional support needs I feel I’d be remiss not to mention the incredible service. The hostess was lovely and the counter staff were great. But the waitress who brought our meals took time to check in and chat to all of us including my non speaking son. It felt like a proper welcome :) It made his day and mine. It’s a place I’d definitely recommend!

We stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant 10am on a Tuesday and we were lucky enough to get a table. Service was exemplary and the food was excellent. Very helpful and happy staff and they welcomed our two small dogs. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Cardigan.

First the negatives - we waited over 45 minutes between ordering and getting our food on a Sunday afternoon, and although the front of house manager was super welcoming and efficient, her team of young, inexperienced and uncommunicative staff really let the side down. BUT - all of that became insignificant when the food turned up because it was absolutely delicious. Packed with flavour, well presented and perfectly cooked. The seaweed hash browns are AMAZING. Would be great for the young staff to up their skills a bit. One just handed me my food for me to take from him directly rather than just setting it on the table and I had to chase part of missing order too after only 2 out of 4 items arrived at the table.

Excellent food, and the staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. They were disappointed when we complained about the draughts when seated by the door, and immediately moved us with as little fuss as possible to a more sheltered table, even though they were crowded. They made sure we were comfortable. It can be noisy, though.

We had a delicious vegan brunch here on our way up the coast. Make sure you get hash browns on the side, they were a revelation! Nice vibe, great for dog spotting

Couldn't make this place any better

Absolutely fantastic place to get breakfast before walking through the town 🥰👍

The food is to die for. Staff were lovely. It's nice and airy so no stuffiness. Also spent more than my wallet liked on the shop 😁

Enjoyed a quick cycling stop on my route. The hot chocolate as well as the pastries were both delicious!

Lovely food. Lovely service. Lovely location slightly off the main shopping area in a historic stylish building. Dog and baby friendly.

Amazing food, delicious coffee. Lovely bright space

Awesome, very well thought out operation. Excellent food. My only tiny niggle is that the food could stand up perfectly well with a little less salt. Please open a branch in haverfordwest.

Always a staple whenever we visit Cardigan. The food here is out of this world. They use only fresh produce and it really does make a difference. You can see each time we go that the customer is always their biggest priority as they always make changes to make the customer feel right at home. Always a great atmosphere and the most attentive and friendly staff. 10/10 diolch! :)

Long time lovers of this spot but on our latest visit this week we were blown away by the quality and flavours of our breakfasts, absolutely phenomenal and we cannot wait for next time. Amazing work by the whole team! Only constructive criticism would be more relaxed music and a lower volume, but lovely interior aside from that 😀

Our favourite for coffee, brunch, doughnuts

Great coffee, very friendly staff and quite possibly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The Turkish Eggs were simply killer.

We had Turkish eggs and the beans on toast. Absolutely delicious. We bought the dark chocolate granola to bring home. It is quite pricey, but so lovely! I wish we lived local, we’d be in there all the time! They were turning people away for tables, it was busy, so book ahead if you can. The queues past the table were a bit annoying but the food was worth it.

Went to the branch at Poppit Sands. Had a lovely coffee and cinnamon swirl. Delicious.

I doubt this place needs more rave reviews - the wait list was long! But the staff were so chatty and kind. The food was clearly home made and well sourced. We loved it!

Atmosphere and deco in Crwst was excellent. Very relaxed and welcomed us with two young children and food came within 10-15 minutes of ordering and was fresh. I had the berries and pancake, my partner tried the Avocado on toast and we got some pancakes and toast for the kids which everyone happily ate. Portion sizes were excellent. Compared to London prices were a bit on the high side. Staff are very helpful and they have highchairs on request for young children.

Very pricey considering it's location, I'd say more expensive than London. Other than that, very nice service and food. Wide range of options. Always good quality. Good option for a treat.

Went here for lunch. Set in a converted garage/warehouse type building with tall ceilings and exposed steel roof struts. Feels quite funky on arrival. Service was excellent. I had a vegan breakfast and coffee. Very well made, very tasty. Some nice touches, such as a seaweed hash brown. Was quite busy when we arrived, which gave it a nice buzz.

Great coffi great donuts and pastel do nata. Didn't have the savoury, but they looked good too. Nice vibe.

Big place. Kids recommended it to us.

Made the dogs and our selves so welcome

"Early menus" from 8:30, the large breakfast menus are available from 10:00, incredibly good place. Good vegi food available. Food is of high quality. The falafel roll was very nutritious. The toast with chocolate & hazelnut was excellent :-)

Good food. Tasty and nutritious. Great pastries! Somehow it's at a high level here!

Very clean, open and modern facilities. The sausage roll, sweet potato falafel garlic mayo, chili jam,and pickled cabbage roll, and donut with vanilla icing were excellent. Coffee was very good. We didn't purchase, but they have a healthy selection of baked breads with a slicer by demand.

Best brunch I've had! Wonderful experience all round, delicious food & coffee, attentive and friendly service. Dog friendly too!

All freshly baked. The eclairs are amazing. It's a little more expensive than normal but so worth it!

Always very good, helpful and friendly. One star less for atmosphere as quite noisy today

Had a delicious cooked breakfast

Awesome 👌 dog friendly and lush good. Great service too.

My husband and I just had a beautiful brunch here this morning. We saw the eggs royale with smoked salmon and had to try it. The dill oil really pulls the dish together! We also had a blueberry yogurt bowl that was a lovely addition. We washed it down with a delicious foamy cappuccino. Everything was fresh and really tasty. 10/10 experience.

Very pleased with the food, service and cleanliness.

Dog friendly. Food was nice, but the selection is limited. It's always busy, but the atmosphere is nice. If not a little claustrophobic at times (particularly when waiting to be seated, or if you are seated directly in front of the kitchen so the servers are constantly walking close behind and around you). There is a bar there that may be better utilised as extra seating, particularly at peak times. If there's a way to move it back and forward they may be able to have a few more tables

Definitely will be going back and the Crwst cafe in popitsands is great aswel.

One of the best brunches we’ve ever had! My kids were in seventh heaven here! Fantastic menu, with something to suit everyone, including my lactose and gluten intolerant husband! My son had the most incredible pancake with fruit compote, mascarpone cheese and amazing maple butter! Delicious flat white, cinnamon pastry and great soft drink choice. Great service, lovely atmosphere and lots of amazing things to take away too. We bought some granola, chocolate and incredible Doughnuts. Highly recommended!!

Great place for brunch. Delicious breakfasts.

Been going to Crwst regularly since it opened as local customers and enjoyed the experience ,unfortunately on this occasion was rather disappointing , as usual booked a window seat a week or so in advance and hoping for a pleasant experience but was not to be. Was so called greeted by a very charmless MAN in a CAP who said that our table had been taken ( no Apology given) and told us to sit on a table right in the middle of the busy walkway in the restaurant we were not impressed by his ARROGANT manner

Seriously good pistachio ice cream right at the beach. Great service and lots of outdoor seating. Lots of delicious looking sandwich options, too!

food was nice enough but customer service was atrocious. very unclear rules around seating, staff were rude and i felt uncomfortable the entire time i was there.

By far the best brunch I have ever had. Couldn’t decide what to order so added some extras on the eggs on toast and had the pancakes too. Delicious. Fab staff and service - can’t wait to go back.

We love Crwst! Love the regularly changing menu and specials. Services and food are always impeccable, and you honestly must try the hash browns they are stunning! Brilliant range of local produce and Crwsts' own products available in store and a variety of baked items to take away!

Really good food, from an imaginative menu, served by friendly staff in an interesting setting. There also seemed to be lots of good local produce, such as bread and honey, on sale

Amazing bright and open feel and Incredibly friendly service. Food was delightful! 10/10. The cloudy apple juice bottles. Although pricey were Incredible. Booking advised!

Beautiful oat milk coffee and gluten free/dairy free tart.

Fabulous cafe, totally dog friendly with out of this world food... definitely worth a visit!!!

Fantastic food. Great interior design. Great service. Dog friendly. Place can be a little loud, so some might find it an issue. I will return.

Good food and service. We come here often as a treat.

Stepping into Crwst is like entering a whimsical brunch wonderland. The industrial decor sets the stage for a quirky dining experience that perfectly blends style and substance. From exposed pipes to repurposed machinery for tables, every corner exudes character. The menu is equally inventive, featuring creative twists on brunch classics. The patisserie section filled with the most captivating doughnuts is an absolute must for anyone with a sweet tooth. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with friendly staff adding to the charm. Crwst is a brunch spot that's sure to delight both your palate and your imagination."

Waited 45 minutes for our food, Overpriced and food was very salty!!!!

Great place to have breakfast, but you may need to book
