Flooks Cafe in Merthyr Tydfil

Came for afternoon tea once which I really liked, so thought I’d try lunch. I have to say all the soups tried had too much pepper and I’m sure chili flakes were used in all of them as well. But as usual all the cakes, bar the custard slice, were really nice. Friendly, helpful staff, will visit again.

The cakes where amazing couldn’t believe we could choose 3 of them plus we ad sandwiches wraps and crisps for £12 ppl I think was really good value

Delicious cakes and so much choice. All home made to a really high standard and reasonably priced. Visited twice and wasn't disappointed either time. Most recently had the Turkish delight cheesecake which I can highly recommend ! Haven't had a savoury snack here yet but can certainly recommend the cakes ! Diolch flooks x

Was treated by my daughter to a high tea here it was beautifully laid out room my granddaughter was also with us and the waitress was very helpful couldn't have been nicer will call in more regularly now I know how nice it is .

Although when I’ve visited the tea room at lunchtimes on a few occasions and enjoyed the food served I must say that I was really disappointed today when we went there for afternoon tea. I rang around 11am to book a table for 4 @ 2pm and was told as this was a late booking we would have to accept the savouries they had but could choose the desserts. As I’d experienced nice food previously and I believed as a cafe/tearoom had a varied menu I didn’t think there was anything to worry about. Unfortunately for the price of £12 per person we were bitterly disappointed. On the stand was 1 pig in blanket each (mini sausage), a tiny spring roll each, a variety of finger sandwiches whic left a lot to the imagination!! I’m sorry to say the cakes were not that palatable either. What a total waste of money! There are only 3/4 tables in total and it wasn’t busy! Before we left a couple came in. They appeared to have corn beef slices and crisps on their plate stand. I fail to see why we couldn’t have the same. It looked far more substantial considering we paid the same! It’s safe to say we will not be returning. £48 for half a sandwich, a couple of cakes and a few pots of tea!! We could have had a banquet from M&S.

The choices available were quite extensive for the price. There were sandwiches, savoury and sweet offerings. The only thing was we only had 1 drink each and weren't sure if there was more within the price or not. However, the room available was done lovely and we all enjoyed our good choices.

Just really came in for a coffee and a cake with my wife. Cake was really nice and tasty and really enjoyed our little coffee break.

Staff are very welcoming and helpful. There is a good selection on the menu to choose from. Cakes are homemade and taste delicious.

well after reading the good reviews in this cafe I have had a bad experience I was having my hair done in nearby hairdressers new I was going to be in there for sometime an was feeling peckish so asked one of the girls to get me a toastee well she ordered it for me then went to collect it. when I opened the container first impression this looks nice cheese an onion and a bit of salad then I spotted I had extras not one to complain about extras but this extra was not edible a 'biro pen'yes a pen with cheese over the top of it.I think you would call this a contaminated toastee so with my hair full of bleach a gown and towel over me of I went with the contaminated toastee walked in the cafe had strange looks of the staff showed what I had found in with my toastee the reply was 'that was me' I will make you another one no offer of a refund or would I like a coffee or perhaps cake would made amends nothing this is why I felt the need to write this

We were looking for some where to eat at lunch time and passed this gem. So glad we spotted it - good choice of sandwiches and the like and an amazing collection of cakes - all homemade. Unfortunately we live about 150 miles away so are sadly not going to be able to sample them all. We tried the mint aero cheese cake and the lemon drizzle cake. Both totally gorgeous. Served by the lovely friendly owner. Definitely a place to seek out if you in the area.

Visited as party of a baby shower. Only the owner was there and she was excellent. Very friendly. Very helpful and she even decorated the room for a baby shower. I must say one of the best customer service experiences that i have experienced. A credit to the small businesses in merthyr. Onto the food. We were there for a baby shower and had afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is served everywhere these days and in most places its not very good. Flooks however was great. Good value for money. Fresh ingredients and well made. Flooks is a hidden gem. It looks like a 2nd hand shop from the outside. But inside its very beautiful. Will visit again. Well done.

Had small afternoon tea with daughters close friends and family, table setting lovely , good selection of sandwich to suit all, tea and coffee bottomless, cake to follow was first class ,made on premises no shop bought stuff all fresh and fab, service was excellent and smiley, just how I like it . Lovely.

Cheap enough at £10.50 for 5 savoury portions & 1 dessert but it's only a 'tea'. Not too comfortable for large party of 10 people. Unclear as to who was supposed to eat what even with a list. I think i probably didn't get my 'just desserts' :) . Have been for few such 'high teas' now but i think it's not really for me. Compared to other no places this was no better or poorer. Would have been better if we'd each had our teas on our own plate stands. Plenty of tea & coffee brought.

The cakes in this place are all home made with love. The service is polite and friendly. I can't recommend it more highly. We popped in on a Friday afternoon and spent four hours here. They stayed open for an hour past closing time and looked after us throughout.

lovely tearoom , loads of choice, cakes are amazing , and so friendly. only down side is the parking

Booked in today for afternoon tea. You get to chose 3 savoury dishes and 3 desserts lots of choice including spring rolls, prawn cocktail, corned beef pie, lots of varieties of sandwiches. Big portions of everything and good quality food, homemade. Also offered choice of cold drinks instead of tea. Friendly and helpful staff. Carpark to the side of the property. Also great price for the quality food you get. Will be visiting again.

Had afternoon tea here and was very impressed with the choices available and everything homemade. Staff are friendly and owner was lovely. Would recommend trying this lovely tearoom.. you won't be disappointed.

Had a soya coffee and a gorgeous cheesecake this week in this quirky cafe. Staff were delightful and everything clean and interesting.

... pero ahora atrae a usar citadas implementos para disfrutar su calidad extremadamente alta y sabrosos ofertas!

Lovely atmosphere within the cafe, customer service was brilliant, both young male and female were really happy and cheerful! Food exceeded expectations and will most certainly be coming here more often! Gutted there weren't any computer facility's but nothing major!

aparcar en el aparcamiento cercano vale la pena! probar el desayuno completo", deliciosa y bien merece la pena bajo una fiver!!el personal es amable y realmente que aportan su café. el servicio es rápido, está limpio y tiene una buena selección de menú, darle hace!!

La calidad del servicio y comida en cada visita ha sido excelente. El personal aquí podría dar la atención al cliente lecciones de muchos 'mejor conocido' establecimientos, que ataca el equilibrio entre atención y discreción. Muy bueno para encontrar algún lugar que te hace sentir realmente bienvenido.

I am not sure if my efforts got this café listed, I sent at least three requests that it be listed but have never received a reply. It was only because I was looking for something else that I thought I would try again and now at last it's here. Gripe over.Although we live in Cardiff we do travel to Merthyr quite a bit and were intrigued when we saw this ex jewellers converted into a café. The food on offer is your usual café fare but of very high quality. My wife and I only went in for a sandwich but I ended up having a really nice piece of homemade bread pudding, this is a real favourite of mine and did not disappoint.The concept is also very worthy being run by Llamau charity helping young people and vulnerable women, so you know that each mouthful is helping a very worthy cause.

I have been purchasing food and drinks from this cafe since the day they opened and have always received excellent food and customer service, and value for money.

We stumbled upon this little gem on a wet Saturday in Merthyr.Situated at Pontmorlais Circus, at the top end of Merthyr Tydfil’s High Street what used to be an old jewellers shop, the original facade is still there and adds to the attraction while the window display is given over to local artists to display their wares.The cafe is a community run cafe and run in conjunction with the Llamau housing charity..though you might not guess it.Inside it's lovely and well kept and there are 2 computers for use by customers.We had Cheese nachos served with 4 dips ( salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños) I had the Cheesslaw ( cheese and coleslaw baguette) and the Missus had a Tomato and ginger soup.All of these items tasted really nice, tea and americano coffee were good too and great prices.I think they do breakfasts as well but we were too late.Usually open week days, they've just started opening on Saturdays.8.a.m till 3p.m..We live in Neath but will probably come back just to sample some more food in this cafe.Lovely , friendly staff too.Definitely worth a visit
