Kahve Cafe Bar in Monmouthshire

Kavhe is a hidden gem on a side street in downtown Abergavenny! My husband and I stumbled upon Kavhe on a Friday afternoon for lunch and returned this evening for dinner. The cafe has a very calming and relaxing atmosphere. The food presentation was beautiful and each dish we tried encompassed all elements including the plate/platter design and the arrangement of the food. If you haven’t tried Kavhe, you are definitely missing out!

Excellent lunch spot. Great staff and toddler friendly. Meet friends for brunch today and totally worth the wait!

I absolutely love this place. I have had probably most things from the menu and it has been delicious every time. From cocktails to food and puddings. All the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Third time we have been there now and again it was fantastic. There was an issue in the kitchen, but the staff did mention this straight away and offered complimentary hot drinks. The food was exceptional and will always go there when in Abergavenny. Second time at the Kahve, sublime food, can't say much else. I had the Turkish breakfast, my partner had, again, the Turkish vegetarian breakfast. What absolutely tasty food they do. Fresh, full of authentic flavour and very helpful when asked about some of the ingredients. If you love Turkish food or want something different, GO KAHVE. Nothing to fault, and with an Efes to boot 👍. Will always go here when in Abergavenny

Happened to walk passed and it was a 2 for 1 cocktail deal. Ordered a mojito. Just soda, lots of ice and slices of lime. No alcohol. We left the drinks. Vote with our feet. Never go there again

Fabulous atmosphere Quirky independent bar / coffee shop for breakfast, lunch and some evenings. Fresh and tasty food with a difference! Cocktails also offered. Lovely staff and a nice outdoor setting.

Nice place for a drink and food. Plenty of veggie options as well. Had the Spinach on Sourdough really tasty. Prices good for food quality.

this cafe bar tucked away down a side street is a must for anyone who.enjoys fresh tasty food in a friendly atmosphere

Very quiet when we popped in mid afternoon on a Thursday, but I would imagine it’s busier at night. I had a couple of lattes which were very nice and the staff were polite and friendly.

Hosted a party for us. Great staff perfect location and central

Excellent breakfast. Recommended.

Lovely place to have a delicious bite or a full meal. Good choice of cocktails and major brands of alcohol. The host is very nice and overall the atmosphere is very friendly and chilled. They also organise live music events. I will be back next time I will be in Abergavenny.

Super little place which we discovered by accident. Unpretentious Turkish cafe/restaurant with super food. The proprietor took great pride on what he was cooking for us. HIghly recommended.

Excellent vegetarian and vegan breakfasts...so filling and cookedcto perfection,would highly recommend

We are here as a group of 6, and were all very impressed with the food and coffee. The children's meals were particularly good quality (not cheap rubbish that some sell), and my homemade falafel was really very good and I will always compare future versions to these.

Amazing place!! The cocktails and baklava are incredible. We shared some small dishes, prepared fresh and were very tasty. The chef if amazing and he is very friendly.

Extremely slow service. It was like there was a black hole in the kitchen slowing down time. Utterly awful. Avoid!

Lounge bacon cheese burger with two patties. Burger for the Gods.

Delicious brunch, everything home made and super tasty - highly recommended!

Really loved the atmosphere in here. Drinks were fab and food delicious. Live music as well which is a bonus on the weekend.

Food average but the wait horrendous - over an hour and not busy!!!!

The best coffee place in the area

Unfortunately the gf wrap and gf bread were quite stale, but the fillings were delicious, the regular breads (according to other group members) was good and the service was friendly.

A great little quirky café. The chicken and bacon club sandwich is one of the best I've tasted. The team are very hard working and friendly.

Slow service. They can only make the cocktails on the menu - not even a simple martini. cocktails on the menu also not available when i ordered them. Then they couldn’t figure out how to give me the food that i didn’t eat as take home.

Can't cope with big parties.. Tables for a staff party.. Booked for 5pm..2 hrs in and waiting...

Quirky cocktail bar. Sat outside in the sun before heading off for dinner. Ben was very obliging and will make anything you request.

Great food, fab atmosphere with some blues on a Friday night. Perfect

Service very slow. Nice atmosphere

Nice food and atmosphere but they were super understaffed and it took ages

Love this place! Great vegan choice. Everything freshly cooked. Friendly and welcoming.

Really delicious breakfast and the coffee was fantastic, polite friendly staff, highly recommended.

What an absolute gem of a place. Took my wife for her birthday dinner on a Friday evening and it was perfect. Lovely cosy vibe with live jazz singer. Food was absolutely delicious with lots of great vegan options. Service was even better with friendly staff and excellent cocktails. Even had a chat with the owner about the function space upstairs which looks great. We will be back for dinner soon and will be organising a larger get together upstairs in the new year. Don't miss out on this place.

Really lovely food served by people who really care about what they are doing. Authentic Mediterranean food with good flavour. Opened Dec 2019, they've had a real struggle to survive. Give them a chance. Lovely atmosphere. Relaxing and cosy.

Stunning food, incredible cocktails, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Well deserved 5 star review.

Called in for lunch, nice menu to suit all. Very friendly staff and good service. I had the eggs Benedict to eat which was good.

We stopped by for coffee and cake and it was well worth it. Interesting , good coffee and had a great chat with the two owners. Thank for making us feel welcome and good luck with your Christmas menu, I'm sure it's going to be great. I would hope to be back some day. Simon Ps . Check out the tiramisu. It's delicious

Lovely atmosphere, great music and delicious food.

Delicious!!! Had the chicken wrap and it was so good! My husband had avocado on toast, warning it's spicy!!! Coffee is also very nice 🤠👍 Dog friendly and a wide variety of foods including vegan and vegetarian options

Come in for lunch with my daughter on Tuesday, place was quiet 3 tables including mine. We ordered 2 club Sandwiches one with no mayo and no onions, one normal. We waited 35 minutes and it still hasn't arrived. Asked the waitress to have it to take away, the chef wasn't really happy about it even said he would pay for my parking. Waited another 5 minutes and we finally had the food to go. When we got home we finally had our food to find onions and mayo on both sandwiches. Took a bite out of mine and had a really long hair init. I know it wasn't the chef so must of been a waitress. I can't see us coming back again.

Amazing place . Food fantastic Staff extremely friendly Live Music on Saturday was amazing

Called in as a break from a long drive. Wanted a quick leg stretch and a snack. Found what looked like a quiet place for a short stop. Ordered quickly very few people here most of which were already eating. Took 40 minutes for a simple salad and a club sandwich to arrive. Food was ok but nothing special. Will not be back.

Third time visiting and the service and food is always fantastic. We fancied a bacon and egg roll and the owner/chef was kind enough to make one up even though it wasn't on the menu. Fantastic coffee, wouldn't go anywhere else whilst in Abergavenny 👌

Have always had a lovely experience at Kahve. The food is delicious and always freshly made from scratch and the owner is so welcoming and friendly. Fantastic for lunch and dinner too with live music on certain nights. I’d definitely recommend. Oh mustn’t forget that they are very dog friendly!

Cosy atmosphere. Lovely staff and good food.

Come in from out of the area today and had a couple of drinks watched the lady behing bar using her fingers to handle people's food items without washing hands between and then just handling cups by where you put to your mouth will not return there on next visit to abergavenny. On positive the young man that was working was 100 on his handling of cups ect ect well done to him

Had the Turkish breakfast, really enjoyed, great coffee. Nice atmosphere.

Lovely friendly place with smashing cake.

Laid back atmosphere and lovely food which is freshly cooked and worth the wait. Also dog friendly and since discovering it we've become regulars... john

The service although good could do with improving

I'm not usually in the practice of leaving bad reviews (if you've nothing nice to say...), but having read the reviews I felt compelled to add to the comments about service in the hope the management do something about it. I visited with my 2.5yo on a Tuesday, late lunchtime. We had our order taken fairly soon but the wait for good was bordering on ridiculous. My 2.5yo is pretty good at eating out and can be kept amused whilst waiting but it got to the point where we just couldn't sit there any longer. I was about to ask to cancel my meal when it arrived but I ended up asking for it in a take out container (caesar salad thankfully). It wasn't the freshest looking salad and was very heavy on dressing and cheese, but that could be a preference thing. We wouldn't return as there are so many other places to try first. Waitresses we're rather sullen (rushed off their feet?) and I want warned about the wait. Room for improvement, I'd say.

Amazing food and brilliant atmosphere. Lovely outdoor setting. Will definitely be going again soon.

Gorgeous food, really fresh and crispy, but poor service. A pitty that waitingtime is beyond acceptable range.

Staff are friendly but long wait for drinks and food. Very small portions of food which seems overpriced for what it is.

Decent food, but terrible service. Food took nearly an hour to arrive, one order was extremely over cooked and another came with cheese all over it despite specifically asking for no cheese. Kids meal also came with a choc ice which was in pieces as though someone had sat on it. On top of all that waitress seemed like she couldn’t care less. Not recommended.

Great café, lovely selection on the menu and a healthy choice of alcoholic beverages for the evening. Very friendly and welcoming owner and staff too, great to hear live music again!

After waiting 45 mins for a light meal we had to leave due to time in car park. Was told twice it was on its way but then had to leave so told the manager the situation and payed for our drinks only to be told to go to greggs. She was so rude for someone who obviously cannot do her job. Avoid And go to greggs. You won’t wait long and the coffee is better. Maybe go to Brecon where they look after the visitors.

Popped in to Kahve while visiting the market Tues 10th August. Waited 50 mins for our food. Instead of the meals arriving altogether, two arrived then 20 mins later the beef burger arrived and 10 mins after that the eggs Benedict came. so we all finished eating at different times. Really rubbish service. Just checked bill a coke was £1.70 and the burger was £11. I know we should of studied the menu to see exactly what the cost was. But £11 for a Burger & French fries. The roll the burger was in was IMPOSSIBLE to cut. The wrap was flat in two halves, and limp (salad) leaves. They looked like they had been thrown on the plate covered in balsamic vinegar (well that's what it looked like, didn't try them) So all in all Rubbish meal Rubbish Service for a HEFTY price. The waitress had long FALSE NAILS on which is a DEFINITE NO NO when serving food. I didn't see any sign of anybody in charge just seemed like a lot of youngsters muddling through. So the moral of the story is folks DON'T GO THERE.

Nice coffee, after 20 minutes. 40 minute wait for food. The saxophonist was good but way too loud which made everybody have to shout which just became a cacophony of white noise type rubbish.

Very busy there, very nice staff serving. We enjoyed the burger and cider and GF too...thanks

Slow service, mostly sold out, took about 40 mins to get an all-day breakfast at about 2.30.

Great lunch. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Not the best waited over 35 mins for an omelette and salad we couldn't wait any longer

Probably some of the tastiest falafel I have ever had, really enjoyed my lunch, o would have given 5 stars but had to take one off as our food took at least half an hour to get to us and we weren't kept informed that it would take longer than usual, also my daughter's ham, egg and chips was a bit disappointing as the ham was typical cheap sandwich ham and I would have expected (considering the standard of the rest of the food) to at least have thicker slices.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Really long wait for food though

Vegetarian breakfast is all I've had here and everytime I come i end up having it again. I really should try more of the menu but that breakfast is just so good!

Great food. Probably the best falafels in South Wales.

Friendly staff, good coffee, food and cakes! Outside seating and music nights.

The food here is delicious as well as freshly made. There is even a Turkish breakfast on the menu. The staff and manager are very friendly. We would love to come again 👍

Sitting out side in the sunshine enjoying cake and coffee, what more could you ask for 🙂

Great service, lovely coffee and cakes.

Lovely place. Stopped here on a mixed weather day for lunch with my brother. Sat outside and the kind lady put up an umbrella for us just in case the weather changed for the worse. The service is wonderful, friendly and professional. A well made lunch with good ingredients, all very tasty and great coffee too. So nice to have vegan & vegetarian options and some gluten free items too. I will be back with more people in tow soon. Thank you.

Excellent vegan menu and dog friendly. I really can't ask for anything else :)

My first time at the Kahve bar was soo nice and welcome. Had a Turkish Breakfast was really delicious, could have done with a bigger portion. Fully licensed so go for a drink as well

First time visiting and the food was absolutely spot on. In fact, I don't mind saying that the food is almost TOO good for a cafe bar. A thought crossed my mind that Kahve should consider rebranding as a restaurant. Currently, it's a bar that's serving a first class dining experience - but as with all bars, you can never guarantee who will walk through those doors. If it's a rowdy bunch, then that changes the dining experience completely. Service was so welcoming and we'll definitely be returning. Thank you.

Fantastic food. Fantastic staff. Fantastic environment.

A rare find on a cold rainy day...very tasty breakfast and welcoming staff.

Great food and coffee, very reasonbly priced as well, would recommend

Warm welcome. Excellent service. Delicious food - particularly recommend the club sandwich.

Good food apparently but cannot comment on my all day breakfast because it seemed to take all day to make. All of our group had finished their meals with no sign of mine arriving so told them to forget it with no apology. Get your act together.

Had to wait a very long time to get served and for the drinks/food to arrive despite the place not being busy. The food was ok although too bland for our liking

Tucked away off the main drag is this little gem in a town not exactly short of cafes. Good selection of meaty and vegetarian dishes freshly prepared and being just scrumptious.

Great all day breakfast, and excellent service!! 👍🏾👍🏾

Lovelly service and good food. Nice environment and decor.

Excellent - good food, good coffee, good service, and to mention the topic of the day, excellent COVID-19 procedures in place.

Je recommande vivement, de nombreux choix à la carte et une cuisine excellente. L’accueil fut fort sympathique et chaleureux, le tout dans un restaurant décoré avec goût et très bien placé (donnant sur une rue piétonne). Service agréable et soigné, très bon produits. Je recommande sans hésitations !

Wonderful place to stop for food and drink..warm friendly host Bulent

Had a Turkish breakfast there today on way to a local campsite. Best way to describe it is delightful. Will be back tomorrow for another 👏👏👏👏

Excellent food and service. Not bad on price either. My daughters a little fussy but they were more than happy to amend their menu to something she liked.

Lovely venue. Excellent hosts with amazing food. Enjoyed an evening here recently. Nice for a coffee and a bit to eat during the day. Will definitely be returning 👍

A quiet, friendly place in the mornings. Lovely, simple menu and very veggie and vegan friendly.

Stopped in for a light Sunday lunch, good coffee and a great selection of healthy/ vegetarian / vegan meals. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Will visit again. Please update Google to correctly show your opening times!

Warm and welcoming with plenty of healthy options, including vegetarian and vegan. To top it all off, the best coffee in town bar none.

Been a fan of this in previous locations but this is the best by far. A lovely chilled vibe, great tasty food, lovely decor, friendly owner and staff and very good value for money. Highly recommended

Had breakfast here this morning, nice cosy and welcoming be back soon

Excellent quality food, presented well, that's great value for money.

Amazing coffee, food and atmosphere.
