Little Black Sheep Cafe in Powys

Fantastic breakfast, local produce well cooked and amazing value for money. Open early on a Sunday which was a bonus.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. First good sign was it was nearly full. Had a mix of food from omelette to toasties to bacon!and sausage bap. All were food and the omelette excellent. I spent my time also looking at the crumble choice. Ended having a gooseberry crumble with custard that was excellent. Bitter,sweet and creamy together. Shocked at the bill. Given what we had eaten I would have expected significantly more. Alongside the good food at a great price the staff were friendly and brought a feeling of joy to the whole place. Everyone was treated warmly as they came in and throughout the food. In a world of hundreds of verities of coffee,posh pastries this place does a great range of simple food well and at a great price. Big downside was we did not go back as I wanted to try more crumbles.

Brilliant cafe with friendly staff and great food. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Always good solid fare, quality ingredients well cooked. Best cafe for quite some distance imo!

Popped in quickly on a Sunday before it was closing for food. Small compact cafe, had roast dinner which was lovely and budget friendly, good coffee was good too. Staff are lovely and up for a chat.

Great little cafe. Friendly staff and great coffee

Great little cafe. Friendly service. Farmer’s breakfast is perfect.

Good little cafe near the central square. Friendly service. Huge breakfast with good sausages and bacon. Great for a cooked breakfast but not a lot of choice if I had wanted something a bit lighter.

Outstanding breakfast, and without doubt the best sausages I've ever tasted. Already looking for an excuse to return to this delightful and friendly traditional Cafe. Long may it be a fixture of Broad Street

I called in for breakfast early while waiting for a train following an overnight camp. Being ravenous I ordered the Farmer's breakfast. The Proprietor spied my rucksack and considerately warned me that the breakfast was a bit hefty if I planned any more walking. I assured her that I only had to waddle as far as the train station and proceeded to tuck into one of the most generous and tasty breakfasts I've ever eaten. Everything was cooked to perfection and came with a free smile. The sausages were certainly the best I've ever tasted, and I consider myself something of a connoisseur. The meats are locally sourced and the Proprietor was quite happy to tell me where from - I'll certainly be making a detour to pick some up next time I'm in the vicinity and I'm already looking for an excuse to be near the Little Black Sheep Cafe again around breakfast time.... I can heartily recommend this little gem to locals and visitors alike - well done.

Traditional no frills Cafe serving traditional breakfast and well cooked, tasty and good value. Delicious sausage and bacon, locally sourced I believe. Polite and efficient staff. I'm not a fan of Hash Browns however I can be converted to the Little Black Sheep's version. Highly recommended.

Just had a lovely breakfast and a really good coffee staff very friendly and food was cooked fresh and didn't take long thank you .

Best breakfast I have had in ages. PROPER chips, bacon done how I like my bacon done. Good egg, good mushrooms, lovely friendly staff who know how to cook. Absolutely brilliant.

A hearty breakfast to enjoy however the experience was somewhat tainted by the waitress girl getting triggered that I took a tomato ketchup sachet from another table after using the 5 allocated to my table... You know the kind I'm talking about, the ones with a thimble worth of sauce obtainable from each sachet. 'Seriously?!' yes, generic waitress, seriously, a man likes ketchup with his English breakfast. She then proceeded to very obviously and abruptly refill the sachet quota on that table with a sour expression, hilarious

Lovely traditional food, big portions and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

We ordered an ‘afternoon tea for two’ to collect for our 27th Wedding Anniversary as we were staying in a lodge nearby and everything from the sandwiches to the vast array of cakes was delicious! Excellent value for money and presented beautifully! Thank you Julie for making our Wedding Anniversary so special for us we throughly enjoyed it and we will be back when next in the area.

Food excellent!!! Service with a smile, what’s not to like … definitely worth popping in for good home cooked food

We had Sunday lunch here-it was lovely-just like my mum used to make! The blackberry and apple crumble for dessert was delicious! Very friendly staff too!

A diamond in the rough, excellent choice, even better prices, and the staff were fabulous

I had a cottage pie which I was told was gluten free and safe for coeliacs, unfortunately I was very ill after eating this with classic symptoms of gluten in my gut. As a coeliac this is very serious. Coeliac is not the same as gluten intolerance and even tiny trace amounts can do a lot of damage and cause a bad reaction. Even though I enjoyed the meal I would not eat here again as I don’t feel safe. Also saw on Facebook the owner told others that the roast dinners were gluten free but I honestly wouldn’t trust this.

Great little cafe, and a good stop off if driving through to the coast (a carpark and toilets 1 minutes walk away, just off the main route). Great friendly service - we were rushing through so had quick meals - the breakfasts coming out looked great! Generous portions and good quality. We will stop again next time we are travelling through.

Ten out of ten for a fry up!! Holiday makers from Lincolnshire, we came back two days on the trot. Great value for money. Great staff.!!!

Amazing little cafe. Fresh food and great staff. Very friendly atmosphere and lovely staff( so good I had to say it twice) I could sit here all day soaking it all up. Really want to come back.

Came to the cafe for a Sunday dinner. Owner made special provisions for us, to stay open later. Proper home cooked meals. Food was absolutely delicious from the dinner to the pudding. Would be back every week if was closer.

Called in this morning for breakfast before our journey home & WOW it really set us up for the day ahead. We both enjoyed a good hearty breakfast that was cooked perfectly and used good quality ingredients. The staff are both warm & friendly and certainly aim to please, and they have a very good selection and are very reasonably priced. What’s not to love, good home cooking at its best! Try it and you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely visit again.

Nice friendly local cafe Coffee and breakfasts particularly recommended!

Lovely food friendly service great place

Stopped off here earlier today for a bite to eat on our way home. Opted for the all day breakfast with a pot of tea for two ( very generous size pot) breakfast was beautiful. Very tasty, obviously locally sourced sausage, eggs and bacon, cooked to perfection. All of this at a very reasonable price, served up by the most friendly staff. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area. Thank you ladies for the most tasty brunch and friendly service.

Lovely breakfasts and friendly staff.

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff good food at a faithful price.

Food was tasty, hot and very filling. Nice cup of tea and friendly staff, the puddings looked lovely but I just didn't have room for one

Lovely, friendly little cafe, thank you. Also dog friendly.

Went here with the other half for a little spot on lunch and wow did it hit the spot. The food was cooked perfect and the ingredients were of such a high quality, especially considering the price. The ladies that run place were very inviting and we had a really good laugh with them both. Would highly recommend!

absolutely lovely little cafe with amazing staff! I'd highly recommend their breakfast barm and caramel latte - both so tasty!! thank you to the lovely ladies that served us and made us laugh - we'll definitely be back again x

We were staying in Knighton and fancied a good breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. The staff are very friendly, they made us feel very welcome. One of us has a dairy intolerance, the staff took this in their stride, were happy to discuss their products and it was more like being with family. Their butchers sausages and bacon are delicious, their cooking does the butchers produce proud. It’s a very local location but at no point did we feel like an outsider. Amazing, and we definitely want to come back

Stopped here for breakfast. Absolutely delicious good quality local Sausage and bacon. I dont eat egg or black pudding so was given extra bacon and hash browns very accommodating. All our breakfasts were lovely and will definitely return. Service and Staff were lovely and friendly too.

Messaged in advance to order for a group of 12. Great service and the food was fantastic.

Food 10/10 Staff 10/10 Service impeccable

A good place to stop in for some breakfast if passing by

Welcoming cafe all home cooked food

Such a cosy little cafe! We went there for breakfast and they had so many options to choose from! It also has a sticker that it is hiker-friendlt which we love as hikers. The women were super fast and attentive! Make sure to stop there and get a proper breakfast :)

Good prices and good food, friendly service, Coronation chicken, tikka massala, sticky toffee pudding.

Very tasty breakfast well recommended

We came here last year and enjoyed cake and coffee so thought it would be good for lunch. Very wrong. My wife's omelette was good. My broccoli bake was 50% potato which is nutritionally very different from broccoli. Our fruit pie for dessert was made with tinned fruit laced with much thickening agent so not a healthy option. The toilet was not clean and the premises were in need of a makeover to tackle all. We were surprised to find no hygiene certificate.

A friendly and helpful team that know how to make an excellent pot of tea! Cakes were very good, and from looking at the menu there seems no end of delicious food available- we may well return for breakfast tomorrow or a roast on Sunday! Really pleased to have found this cafe.

Beat local breakfast hands down. Locally sourced meat, reasonably priced, always consistent and never fails to impress!

Julie and her staff are amazing and will accommodate anything they can, well worth a visit when in Knighton

Good food, good prices and nice people.

Very good food, friendly staff and down to earth no frills environment. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended unless you're looking for somewhere posh and upmarket.

I checked this cafe out for a decent cooked breakfast. It did not disappoint, welcoming staff. Quick to the table food and what a breakfast. Perfectly cooked tasty and sausages to die for. During the meal I asked for extras because I wanted to extend my time here. Not problem. Place was busy with happy customers. I will return every time for breakfast anytime. Thankyou black sheep

Ordered milkshake and toasted buttered tea cake from menu. Had to ask for the oilskin table cloth to be cleaned- staff said it needed a proper clean but gave it a wipe to make do. Noticed dried food and dust elsewhere! Milk shake served at room temperature and tea cake ready buttered, didn’t taste like butter. Bit into tea cake to find it hard and unpleasant and turned it over to see underneath burnt black. Looked under the other half and that was scraped of the burnt part - disappointing and unappetising

I visited the Little Black Sheep based on the reviews. I was not disappointed. Friendly service, great prices, lovely food! 100% recommended 👌 We will definitely be back for more, such a warm welcome!

Me and my family visited this lovely little cafe while we were on holiday last week the owner and staff were so kind and friendly. The food was lovely and the prices very reasonable. We would definitely go back here.

I popped in after a long walk in the area and was treated to some superb home made apple pie and cream with a mug of tea. This cafe is a real gem. I'll be back.

Every time I’m in Knighton I make sure to visit to get the nicest coffee! The staff are always friendly and accommodating even when they are busy!

What a gem of a place this cafe is and a MUST to visit if you are in the area. Unbelievably reasonable prices (too cheap!!), massive portions and exceptional quality, home cooked food (absolutely crazy how tasty the food and cakes are!). All the staff and especially the owner are very friendly, attentive and welcoming which of course adds to the overall positive experience. It’s just a shame that we are on holiday so won’t be able to become a regular at the cafe, however we will definitely be back a few more times before our holiday ends.

Food really tasty servise was good. Would recomend

The reviews left here drew us to this cafe. We had a warm welcome and our food was delicious when served. Excellent value too.

Local high quality suasages and bacon make their breakfast way better than most

We came here last year and had to back again. The staff are super friendly and make you feel very warm and welcome. The food is stunning. They use the highest quality products on there breakfast's - I couldn’t fault any of it. We came in for a Sunday Roast as well. The trifle for desert was outstanding and the best I have ever had. You could tell the recipe has been passed down the generations. I have been to Michelin star resultants but I would prefer to come eat here any day. I hope to be back again within the next 12 months.

Thank you for accommodating two starving walkers when nowhere was open for lunch anymore and the cafe was about to close too. Great food, really good value, and served with a smile. Can’t go wrong with this place!

What a fantastic find! The cafe was conveniently located, the food was good and very reasonably priced and they made one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. Lovely people, good service and it was a bonus being dog friendly (they even posted the dog blanket we left behind).

A couple of weeks before hand when passing, we'd asked if we could book a lunchtime table for a group of a dozen or so of our motorcycling friends who annually visit from Hampshire: not a problem, we were assured, they would just ask their regular customers to come in early that day! Although we were about 20 minutes late in the end, we managed to get a mobile signal and let them know we would definitely be there. The service was exceptional: very friendly, very efficient, and all our tasty meals were delivered very speedily. This will definitely be a stop when we do this route through Shropshire/Montgomeryshire again ~ thank you all!

Dropped in again this year whilst on holiday. As amazing as I remembered, the food here is lovely. A real good cooked breakfast, homemade chips( just like my mum used to make!). Nothing is too much trouble! The ladies who work here are lovely and helpful. Can’t praise it enough. Make your way there, you will not be disappointed.

Had a full breakfast and tea, staff were lovely and food really tasty. Would come here again great range of choice and it's right in the town centre.

Great food at superb prices and a phenomenal part of the local community. Quality food, great service, friendly conversation, good value, all of which leave you with a question: why can't other cafes be this good?

Super friendly staff serving great coffee and well portioned food.

Staff friendly, service good. Good choice on menu at reasonable prices. We had a cold glass of apple juice and split a cranberry brie pannie between 2 which came with side salad, coleslaw and crisps. Would return when back in the area

Stopped for lunch, friendly welcome which Continued throughout our time there. We had a lovely cold apple juice and shared a brie and cranberry pannie with side salad and coleslaw good value and delicious. Would come back when in the area.

Great coffee stop, wife was just wanting a hot soya milk and they bought some specially for her. Was also very reasonably priced.

Walking Offa's dyke path and the lovely lady working there opened early so we could get breakfast before starting our days walk. Great food, super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Delicious full English breakfast. Lovely friendly staff

Lovely cafe to visit, we had breakfast came very quick and food very tasty. Hot chocolate was stunning as well. Highly recommend x

We come here for breakfast while staying in town. Absolutely lovely cafe to visit, Julie and Nina were so lovely and made us feel so welcome. Really good coffee :)

We called in today for our breakfast after a weekend away at Bleddfa. Very good value for money breakfast and good service. Would recommend

Stopped here on the way to Elan Valley. Me and hubby had full English. Firstly they were so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing. All fresh and cooked to perfection. They do cooked meals and even Sunday dinners too. will definitely go back when...

Smashing coffee and cake, and lovely people. Dairy free and gluten free catered for. All good, totally recommended.

Had a lovely family visit, friendly staff and locals, delicious breakfast with family mountain of toast, youngest still talks about her milkshake as highlight of holiday. Cake looked amazing but we thought couldn’t quite justify having a pudding after breakfast!

Friendly community cafe Fresh food made while you wait as well as daily specials Little more pricey than others in area but that's because the food is also better quality

Love this place. It's a must go if your visiting Knighton. The owner is extremely friendly and will chat in quiet periods. The other staff are nice as well but seem to chat amongst themselves. Their first priority is customer orders. Although there is only room available for 16 diners at a time I feel they could have a bigger place and would mainly be full up that's how popular this place is. Quite a few locals go there as well and I feel they treat their customers exactly the same whether dining in or for the ones who need delivery. All the food is freshly prepared. The sausages are exceptional and the best I've ever tasted. There is a wide variety of meals available from breakfasts to curries, sandwiches and baguettes, jacket potatoes and Sunday dinners and other meals. All meat and vegetables are locally sourced. I've never had a bad experience there and go there if I can get in when I stay in Knighton due to work. The only thing that could be improved is they need more than one sugar pot and more sauce bottles. Sometimes they are nearly empty. Apart from that everything else is fantastic.

Blown away by the quality of this breakfast. Perfect quantity, perfect taste. Eggs golden - you could tell they were free range Sussages had stunning flavour You can tell that this cafe cares about what they are feeding there customers. Thank you

Julie has provided outside catering delivered to our new Family Centre sessions. Parents and children were delighted with the quality of the food and this has contributed greatly to the success of the sessions. Julie is always enthusiastic and interested in what we are doing...

Had the most amazing afternoon tea for 2 , lovely selection of sandwiches, quiche and cakes , and lovely friendly staff that went that extra mile , would recommend it to anyone,

Great food, warm welcome. Could not believe the quality and quantity of the food. Small breakfast, was huge as was the sausage,which was extremely tasty.

Wow what a awesome cafe so refreshing to find a place where the staff clearly love their jobs and put effort in to great customer service the breakfast was amazing(big breakfast 😋)

Absolutely lovely cafe. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast in a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Give this place a visit if you are in Knighton!

A great little cafe with a warm welcome. Enjoyed the coffee and cake!

I went there a few times during my weeks' holiday. The food was lovely homemade fayre, excellent portions. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I wanted to eat there everyday but I had to go and see the wonderful sights around this area!! On...

Beautiful breakfast with amazing butcher sausages. Great friendly staff. Exactly what was needed after a cold, wet weekend camping.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Quick food service, would highly recommend

Once on a Saturday for a small breakfast and then on the Sunday for a roast dinner. First time on my own and second time with my wife. Food was good on both occasions. The strawberry tart was outstanding.

This cafe has reminded me to look very closely at the numerous 5-star reviews. We had such high hopes for a beautiful little cafe serving lovely food. I cannot fault the cheerfulness of the waitress but getting the order right was another thing. My sandwich...

only the best apple and blackberry crumble ever made..... lovely people great food... resally helpful ... watched them with other customers and they were really great

We popped in on our way home to South Wales after a weekend break. The service was excellent and the food was better. If I am ever in the vicinity again this cafe would. be on my revisit list. If you are passing go in...

Just enjoyed a lovely meal here with a top notch Americano. Will definitely come back as prices were excellent too! Thank you

We come to the black sheep one Sunday morning to gind food orders placed over tables chairs and ecven the floor ready to be sent to customers When approaching a staff memeber if you where serving no clear respone or welcome was made we ordered...

Be aware that dogs are no longer allowed in this café. I have used the café, accompanied by my dog, several times, but this time I was told "the health inspector told me not to". This of course is rubbish because it is entirely up to the person running an establishment, as to whether to allow dogs. The Regency Café in Kington welcomes dogs, as do a couple of cafés in Builth Wells. So I'm afraid I won't be using this café again.

All in all we had a good meal and great fun. First of all looking at the menu my wife spotted Shepherds Pie anddecided to order this. However this was not avvailable this particular day so ordereed an omelette instead which she was highly delighted...

Great staff . Great menu. Breakfast and the homemade cottage pie a must. Always a varied choice of desserts or cake .
