I really enjoy getting baguettes and brownies from fresh start after I do the school run. Everything is freshly made , they fill the baguettes right up. I do find it’s a little expensive but that doesn’t stop me from returning. The girls are nice and friendly , there’s quick and efficient service and a lovely show of brownies, cookies and other cakes also

Lovely friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, great choice. Even let us bring the poor dog in out the rain. Best brownie I’ve ever had and at a fab price. Will definitely be eating from here again. Had a baguette yesterday but will try the jackets potato next 🤤

My son took me there for the first time, we had two tuna baguettes, they were overflowing with tuna and a bag of spoilies for later - I won’t be able to pass that shop again without dropping in for something!

good sandwiches and brownies and unbeatable value; limited sitting, no toilet, and staff declined offering tap water with my lunch because they had “no container” although they sell hot drinks

Popped in to buy lunch whilst visiting the roman ruins. Great choice of sandwiches/baguettes/wraps including some great vegan and vege options. Our wraps were great and extremely good value for money. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. Definitely recommend.

I've passed this coffee shop a number of times and it looks enticing from the outside. Today I finally had time to call in and ordered two hot chocolate drinks, two brownies, a wrap and a jacket potato. Not a small order for this type of shop at a little under £16. Sadly the service was scrappy; no-one smiled and the middle aged lady with blonde hair was very short in her interactions but when another customer came in, she smiled and chatted and immediately handed over the completion of our order to a younger female who wasn't wearing any type of face covering. The hot chocolate was okay, the brownies were nice but the jacket potato was cold. All considered I won't be calling here again which is a shame as I pass every day.

I have driven by this cafe a few times and only recently stopped to give it a go. There are some vegetarian options, it is a shame they don't do vegan chilli on jacket potatoe unless it is winter. Some of the staff are friendly... I like how they use environmentally friendly, plastic free items. I haven't tried the cakes but they look absolutely delicious! The deco of the place is great too. It is reasonably priced. I probably won't return for lunch as I've tried both their vegetarian options available now- be nice if there was more choice for vegetarians and vegans. Would return to try one of their cakes.

My colleague recommended the Fresh Start as they had been there before and enjoyed the food.I visited today and I agree with my colleague the food was lovely. I had a cream cheese, walnut and celery salad which was amazing and the price was just right. The ladies were friendly and helpful and did not rush me while I was looking at what I'd like to eat. I will be going back again that is for sure.Thank you ladies

Popped by on the off-chance to grab a coffee, and saw the selection of sandwich fillings and great cakes/slices on display and forgot the coffee and went for a coronation chicken salad wrap and a coconut-Choc slice. Wow, what a feast. I like my food and I was hugely surprised by both quality, quantity and therefore value for £5 lunch - wrap & sweet slice. If you’re nearby...defo worth a stop in. And if you’re not, you may want to take a quick detour...

I live in the village and always come here at least once a week as the baguettes are delicious and the prices are the best in the village. Always get more filling for the price and the cookie dough brownies are amazing :). Would recommend anybody to come here if your in the village.

Este servicio es de vergüenza me ignoró por el personal en favor de otro cliente aunque estaba allí primero. Yo pedí específicamente y señalando hacia la tarta que selecciona y la señora sirve tendra en cuenta mi solicitud y me dieron uno que era de inferior calidad. Desde el boca a boca me llevó creer que fue un comienzo fresco café encantador, estaba claramente mal informados. No seré cliente de nuevo.

Porque de trabajo me visita Caerleon una vez, es decir dos veces al mes. Me decidí a visitar fresco Comienzo y estoy muy contento. Tuve pollo tikka baguette. Era fresca, sabrosa y exuberante. Tuve plana de color blanco. Fue excelente y me sorprendió. Normalmente cafés hacen plana familiar pésimo blanco. Me agradeció el personal para mi bebida. Y yo tenía algunas pastas con nuttella extraños. Debería haber tenido galés pasteles jajaja. Normalmente tomar fotos para publicar, pero esta vez no lo hice. El personal parecía un poco tensa y reservados. Tuve una sensación que se dijeron para tomar fotos, jajaja. Pero volveré y si el personal estará feliz le doy 5 / 5

Always pop in to pick up a sandwich to take to work when I have the time. Superb selection of goodies to pile into a freshly baked baguette. Can put what I want on it from goats cheese to sun dried tomatoes and olives.....whatever takes my fancy, and they do a great job putting it all together. Very pleased to have it available to me locally. Don't drive past without trying it out!

This is the first review I've actually taken the time to write on here but I feel the need to spread the word about this place! What a gem. Although I've always LOVED my food, I am a bit of a fussy eater - and they even catered to my weird taste buds! Really enjoyed my food and the staff were great! Attentive and really friendly - I even at one point think I started supporting the Wales in the rugby world cup! Great team - great food and looks the part. Go here.

I loved the look of this shop but was really disappointed!!. Coffee was mediokre and service was not particularly friendly. My entire experience consisted of what seemed like the owner stood talking to her staff at the desk- she was particularly rude and did not even acknowledge my experience when I both entered and left the cafe. Will definitely not be returning or recommending.

I was looking forward to visit this place for quite some time and finally the day has come. I was very excited to visit as heard many good opinions about the place. We've made reservations for Sunday lunch time as heard there is always busy however from first steps in we saw that there was only one more table taken apart ours. We've been sat down to a very wobbly table however before we notice it there was no one on the floor to speak about it so we decided to change it to next one. When member of the staff show up we informed they why we do that and they just say "it's fine" and walked away. We ordered 3 mains. Food was average which was big disappointment as I was expecting much more from such a brand like Mercure. During the meal we finished our drinks but there was no one from the staff to ask for another round. We get desserts, fudge cake and cheese cake which was just average defrosted cakes like in most pubs. It is really a shame that this visit went down the drain as the decor is really nice and I was hoping to have my to go place in there.
