Express Cafe in Powys

Great value, great food and great service. Always a pleasure to visit.

Great place and food. Came here after other places were booked up. I'm glad they were because we had a lovely meal.

Had a fabulous lunch with my sister today. Probably the best burger and chips I’ve tasted in years and the staff were great. Fresh and perfectly cooked from a diverse menu.

Good breakfast all day. Nicely done. Good choice of breakfast for every taste.

Very good staff, and very good food/drinks

Good mediterranean greek salad!

Used to quite good but unsure what's gone on... Ham Egg and chips, served with the cheapest wafer thin ham possible. For £8 I understand it's not going to be prize pig but wafer thin ham... Really.

Fantastic food, amazing service, cheap prices. Absolutely the best!!!

Visited for the first time and will be back . Had a great lunch burger and panini we're great large portions. Staff excellent and service brilliant. Well done service with a smile xxxcx

The staff were very nice, and sitting outside was lovely, but the food was rather mediocre. The children's egg omelette had way too much cheese, and unfortunately made our 14 month old sick in the car afterwards.

Ideally located within indoor shopping precinct. Popular with regulars and busy cafe serving good food and excellent coffee. We enjoyed our vanilla lattes which were very nice, my Mediterranean salad and his hot sausage roll. I did really like my salad especially the fresh lettuce and tasty olives.

A wonderful find , very dog friendly, even bought out a dog sausage for the dog. The food was delicious and big portions, very good value for money and staff were lovely, we also returned a couple of days later because it was so good , would highly recommend.

Been coming here for years excellent food always hot and tasty you will not be disappointed Malcolm

Delicious food and really friendly staff, very reasonably priced! Really good selection for vegetarians too. Highly recommend! Came back a second time, and they even gave our dogs some sausages! Lovely to have somewhere dog friendly. Sat outside but there’s an awning that gives good shelter from the rain.

Great place to stop for a coffee with lots of cake to choose from.

Food good & reasonable. Staff friendly & efficient.

Nice service, good cup of coffee. Lovely Victoria sponge 😋

Started coming to the Express cafe more frequently these days as I often work in the area now, at every level this little busy café is perfect, staff are great and provide a fast and efficient service with a smile, the food is fresh and cooked with care, even the salad I'm currently enjoying is possibly one of the best I've had, well done to all at the express cafe, see you soon

We stopped off in Newtown in need of lunch. We stumbled across this cafe and we are so glad we did. We had fantastic food served by lovely people and it was seriously good value. We had a brilliant little stop off thank you

Very good meal and very quick service.

Express cafe what a joke Ordered online and did not deliver .Still waiting for a refund.

Crackin wee cafe wi polite staff

What a fantastic Cafe. Been there a couple of mornings over the weekend whilst out walking the dog. Even give dogs a free sausage. Cracking bacon and egg Butty and cuppa guaranteed

What a great place to have something to eat, had a job to finish it because there was so much, beautifully cooked, fast with friendly staff, 5 stars is not enough.

From cheep produce, food and drink on offer sitting in the sun to sticky tables What more can we say

Great cafe. Good location. Fab hot chocolate. My husband had a tasty egg sandwich. Staff friendly.

Arrived at 12.30 for lunch and the place was packed, but just managed to get a table outside. Despite being very busy, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered the sausage roll, chips and beans. I only had to wait less than 10 mins and it was ready. Huge portion, I couldn't finish all the chips. All the condiments were on the table already, which was very useful. Great value for money and great service. Good variety on the menu. Will definitely be going back.

A little slow getting my coffee order out but saying that was good coffee and they taped the to go cups so nothing would spill. Had a slice of cake which was pretty much half a cake. Got your money worth. But Was very dry and hard, and couldn't eat it im afraid.

What a lovely place friendly staff great menu was great to take shelter from the rain with a lovely lunch 😊

Fantastic place highly recommended

Eaten here lots of time and only once ever had an issue with the food which they quickly sorted. Reasonably priced, lovely friendly staff who go the extra mile to help customers with anything they need. They d o deliver as well which I have always found quick (15mins ish)

Staff were friendly but coffee was utterly horrendous

Arrived for lunch, my wife ordered the ham & cheese panini I ordered the big breakfast which arrived after about 15 minutes my wife loved the panini and I loved the breakfast 5* from us and Ozzie (dog) enjoyed his sausage thank you to all the staff 👍

I've just had the most amazing double shot large latte that rivals anything I've ever had in Italy. It was served. to perfection in exactly the correct glass. £3. Thank you for a great coffee while waiting for my bus to Oswestry..

Lovely cafe with covered outdoor seating. Food/staff excellent. Only downfall is the toilet. The cafe is busy most days & entrance to the toilet means passing /queuing alongside tables where people are eating etc. Not nice at all. The toilet does need updating/cleansing etc.

We just had two coffee's, but we have had food there before really tasty food

This was a great find. Coffee was lovely, the staff were very friendly and service was quick. The menu is extensive and cooked fresh to order.

Even though my past reviews have been praised highly of this cafe, I have found their prices have risen a bit and I found that other places charge less than this cafe, the service and staff are still outstanding, friendly and have time to talk to you. So I leave the choice up to yourselves whether you wish to visit the cafe.

We stopped in Newtown after a long drive just to stretch our legs and stumbled upon this cafe and I’m so glad we did. We had our little dog Sid with us and to say they are dog friendly is an understatement. Even before we ordered the very nice gentleman came out with a bowl of water and a sausage for Sid. The breakfasts we ordered were piping hot and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this little gem of a cafe for both humans and dogs.

The food here is brilliant staff are so friendly Always busy and service is really quick

Lovely place for a coffee ☕ and food..friendly staff 😀....

Delicious breakfast, can not get much better value especially from where we live. Always visit when in the area. Keep up the good work.

Whilst visiting Newtown we found this gem of a cafe. Really friendly service and delicious food. Really amazing value and I can not recommend enough. We will be back on our next visit for sure.

Good service food lacking a little flavour,could be so much more.

Arrived around 10 on a Saturday morning. Fairly quiet so plenty of room. There are tables under cover outside as well. Cafe was clean and well presented. Light and airy. Breakfast menu is quite good. 6 set breakfasts as well as a couple of other choices including vegetarian options and muffins etc. The rest of the menu has a lot of options from sandwiches to roast dinners. Ordered set breakfast 2 from a very pleasant gentleman. 2 bacon, 2 sausage, egg, beans and 2 slices of toast. With a mug of coffee it came to £9.45 so fairly reasonable. Breakfast was freshly cooked, hot and really nice. Coffee was hot and fresh as well. Only complaint, the table was very sticky. I couldn't move my plate or coffee. The plate actually stu k to the table. Would I return? Yes. Overall a good experience.

Sat outside, pleasent enough surroundings but husband and I both disappointed with the food. He had cheese and tomato toasted sandwich but said it didn't have much taste at all & the bread was very thin and nothing special. I had a roll with prawns in, the filling didn't have enough sauce on it and the bread roll was nothing special - all in all a disappointment, especially for the money. Would not recommend.

Yet to have a bad meal here. Friendly staff, generous portions, great price, great taste. One of our favourite spots.

Great service lovely food can't fault it

By one feed 3 Fantastic charity work thank you ❤️

Lovely little cafe. Very reasonable priced for a coffee and sauasage roll. Staff really friendly.

FANTASTIC FOOD, ALWAYS REALLY BUSY ,Z staff great & they do an amazing delivery service locally too.

My wife and I were in town to have a look around and do a small shop, then I decided to surprise her by suggesting to have lunch at the Express Cafe and we weren’t disappointed, we had a lovely hot meal, I had the Cottage Pie and Veg and my wife had the Beef Lasagne and chips, I tell you we were not disappointed, as our meals were piping hot and delicious. I can definitely recommend the Express Cafe the best place to go for a delicious meal and a friendly chat with the staff, as they are so friendly and willing to please there customers, so I can’t rave too much about this wonderful cafe, it definitely is the best in Newtown, Powys.

lovely cafe, great coffee and cakes, excellent value

Great place to dine fantastic service amazing friendly staff

Lovely independent café, great food and friendly staff. Very much recommended.

Tables very sticky floor around fridges and in corners not very clean.

I use this cafe a lot very friendly staff and do home service

The only reason I didn't give five stars was because the tables were quite sticky and grubby.

If you like your food delicious, freshly cooked and in large portions then this is the place for you. Fab Cafe, great burgers and other lovely homemade food. Always a warm welcome. Highly recommend :)

Very bad experience the baguette seemed unbaked and they forgot my drink which I called them asking for the drink and after 1 hour i was still waiting so i called again and told them to forget about the drink but i wanted to know about the processing fee that they charged online which was said is only for payments with the card!!! 😳 this fee noone charge anymore!! Well I'm really not impressed!! I do not recommend, sorry family business!

I have previously given Express Cafe in Newtown 5 stars, but after today's visit and the state of there toilet, I have to sadly downgrade my stars to 3, as the toilet was filthy and looked like blood on the underneath of the seat and on top of the toilet flush area.

I always thoroughly enjoy my visits to Express Cafe, Newtown, because the staff are always friendly and have time to talk to there customers, the food is always tasty and well cooked, the service is good and always with a cheery smile and polite words, maybe a little small inside, but plenty of room for outside dining, I just think this is the best cafe in town. Don't take my word for it, come down to Bear Lanes and try it for yourself.

Had breakfast delivered... took an hour from order to delivery. Black pudding was vile but rest was OK.

Excellent food and service great staff

Excellent lunchtime food freshly prepared great choices.

Lovely food Friendly staff Spotlessly clean Lovely coffee. Would recommend.

Friendly staff, great breakfast - very good quality ingredients, freshly cooked. And they made our two greyhounds very welcome too! (As soon as we arrived they brought a dog bowl of clean water for the dogs). Highly recommended.

We stopped off here for a breakfast Great food Lovely staff Very clean and dog friendly What a chilled lovely place would highly recommend this is our second visit to this cafe when we’ve been in the area so pop in folks it’s great

Nice staff Good good Good location Thank you express café

This place feels pretty old school. If that’s what you want, it’s pretty good. Simple classic cafe dishes.

Popped in to Newtown for some shopping and found this Gem of a caff inside the small shopping mall. Fantastic service and my Big Breakfast was amazing Highly recommended to all

Still giving excellent service. With a good take away menu.

We regularly get food delivered by the express cafe and we can't recommend them enough. They cater for multiple dietary requirements, have decent portion sizes and the food is always delicious. The charitable contributions they did (and continue to do) over the pandemic was inspirational and its a lovely option to be able to pay a hot meal or drink forward.

Huge portions and great service

Lovely food and service. Thank you.

This is an excellent cafe, the staff are very friendly and the food is excellent, I urge people to visit this wonderful cafe for themselves and experience the friendly atmosphere and welcome you receive from the staff. I can not rate this cafe highly enough, I have been using this cafe for the last 20 years and I've never been disappointed. Don't take my word for it, come and visit it yourself and see that I'm right with this review. EXPRESS CAFE, BEAR LANES, NEWTOWN, POWYS, UK.

Lovely breakfast, highly recomended...the staff are the tops.

Very good location to eat or have coffee outside with my little cockerpoo and friends snd family. Food is very good and prompt and staff very friendly, efficient, clean and welcoming.
