We had a brilliant afternoon tea for 7, the food was excellent as were the service and cakes especially. Nothing too much trouble.

I was incredibly impressed with the service, quality and quantity of the Afternoon Tea our family were served. It was the largest Afternoon Tea I have ever seen which included: any two sandwiches, a scone, a giant slab of cake, a cupcake & unlimited tea! I have had something similar in a few establishments and can honestly say this was the very best. And even the children were accommodated with a plethora of options which kept them included & happy .

My family came here for breakfast and the experience was wonderful. That staff can't do enough for you, and the food tasted fantastic and we didn't have to wait that long for the cooking process. We are 100% coming back to this cafe, as it was overall a very positive experience.

Visited here today to meet a friend. As previous reviewer mentioned, great to find a Tea Room open on a Monday too! We are funny folk about bread thickness & our sandwiches were freshly cut as we prefer them slightly thinner. ( Real Loafs 🍞 not pre sliced) Fillings of Tuna/Red onion & Chesse/Onion were both plentiful, also many other variates available. Probably the nicest sandwiches to date.🥪. The waitress was particularly polite, helpful & very efficient. Everywhere was clean, nice decor with a happy feel & excellent value for quality produce. Well worth a visit or ring & collect as take away orders are welcome which are particularly good for the beach, parks, events etc.

We found this coffee shop on Monday by accident as Trip advisor says it is not open on a Monday. So glad we did. Great value for money and friendly staff. We had sandwiches and cake and the slice of cake was huge. Would definitely recommend this as a great place to eat

An old school friend and I have travelled South Wales since retirement visiting over 400 cafes for breakfast. After several visits to Maesteg we came to Louchi’s. On entering we were pleasantly surprised at the decor. The counter display of cakes was indeed impressive and certainly tempting. However, our purpose was to have a breakfast. We ordered a large breakfast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, black pudding, hash brown, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, 2 slices of granary toast. This was really good value at £6.50. There was a good selection of hot drinks. The food was freshly prepared and arrived after a short wait. Very tasty and we both enjoyed. Staff very friendly and added to the experience. Will definitely go back this time to sample cakes.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea with friends. The portions served are massive and the variety of cakes are delicious. Couldn’t fault the waitress as she made sure our tea pots were constantly topped up. If you are expecting a large range of tiny servings, this isn’t the place for you but if you’re happy with delicious sandwiches, a huge slice of cake, a pretty cupcake and a lovely scone - you’ll love it! (By the way, no-one in our group could finish what was served so we were delighted to be presented with a little box to take home a treat for later!)

Lots of sandwiches but nothing to write home about. Very basic and cheaply made. The chicken was out of a packet for sure and didn't taste fresh at all. Cakes were lovely. Very pretty Scones... already made up and sandwiched together. Thought this was a little odd..there's always that great debate cream or jam first? It was impossible to eat them in their sandwiched form as there was way too much cream. Staff were lovely and friendly but we did wait around 40 minutes for our afternoon tea to arrive. May seem petty to some, but if you love a good afternoon tea (a posh one) then I wouldn't say this was the one.

Came here with my mother and sister for high Tea, the whole experience was outstanding. We were welcomed and seated in a beautiful quaint Tea room, the staff were very friendly, approachable and professional. The high Tea... wow... the sandwiches were made fresh and were beautiful with a great selection, we had Tuna and Red onion, Cheese and Cucumber, Bbq chicken Ham salad and Beef and tomatoe, there were also more options. All the sandwiches were beautiful with ample filling, delicious. The scones were obviously freshly made and were served with just the right amount of Jam and Cream. There were a selection of Tea available and I enjoyed an Earl Grey, delicious. Nothing was too much for the staff who also provided boxes for us to take and leftovers away with us, we had 3 cupcakes and three generous helpings of cake to take home with us. While enjoying our food there were many walk in customers collecting cakes they had ordered and we were all in awe watching the masterpieces that had been created, will definitely be ordering a cake from here and will definitely be returning.

Love this place. The food and the service is amazing. The breakfast is one of the best breakfasts in Wales, the lunches are excellent quality and value, paninis served with salad, coleslaw and crisps, and the afternoon tea is absolutely amazing. Keep it up guys. We love you.

Popped into Louchi’s for high tea, greeted by really friendly staff. Got to choose our own sandwiches which was lovely and the food itself was lush- especially the size of the cakes! Bread was really nice too, potions were huge so we ended up taking the cakes home (as well as buying more cupcakes haha). Will absolutely be returning for the great value afternoon tea and customer service. Big thanks to the staff, you’ve made our holiday 😊

Booked high tea here for my mother's birthday. Asked if I could bring birthday banner beforehand to put up which they said they would do. Arrived to find the table we were on was dirty and full of cutlery. Had to wait for it to be cleared. No banner had been put up, and when I asked where it was, I was told they were understaffed. That is not the customers fault. The food was Lovely, but at no time did any member of staff come over and ask if everything was ok. Had to ask for knives to cut the cakes as they were quite large. They said the tea was unlimited which was fine, but again I had to keep asking for things. Went to pay for the bill and asked if I could have the banner back, to which they couldn't find it, and only when I looked with the girl it had been pushed to the back of the drawer. We left with no goodbye or thank you from any of the staff , and to be honest, spoilt the whole experience.

We had a lovely first time visit to Louchi's. The afternoon tea was very special and everything was home made. This makes such a difference and feels like you are getting something for your money. There was plenty to eat, and even had some left over which we could take home in a box. To add to the delight .... the prices were so reasonable, and makes the experience even more enjoyable !!! ... Don't change this is fantastic :)

My mother and I called in here while looking for a chip shop and I’d read a few reviews ages ago and thought we’d give it a try.Firstly they were fully booked with high tea reservations but this didn’t stop a bit of good business sense and they soon fitted us in.We ordered two omlettes with cheese, which came with a side salad and coleslaw.The food arrived and it looked and smelled divine. The omelette was the most light and fluffy one I have ever eaten and I aspire to learn how to do that! The cheese could be tasted without overpowering.The salad was fresh too but I personally would have preferred a different type of lettuce but that is personal preference only and no reflection on the dish.With soft drinks the bill was £9. Absolutely amazing, we will return.Thanks

Beautiful big wedges of cake, cupcakes, scones, sandwiches of 2 different flavours (or you can have a selection), pot of tea, and crisps! This is not a delicate dainty afternoon tea, but it's a very tasty one! Staff are very friendly and accommodating. They have toasties, sandwiches, cakes, and special childrens meals which are presented on benches, trucks and swing sets to really impress the kids! The food is great - and the value fantastic! Free parking about a 5 minute walk away. I would recommend booking in advance however, as we went on a Tuesday around 1pm and people were being turned away who had not made reservations.

My daughter and I visited Louchi’s as an early Mothers Day present. It was a Saturday afternoon. It was extremely busy so as a two we were squashed in by the window. My daughters chair was right by the door so every time it opened, in came a draft. We weren’t even given a menu when a man descended on us with a box of Mother Day cupcakes saying look at these you need to get your orders in now (this he did to all customers). I couldn’t help but think who ever as ordered those cakes they have been in everyone’s face. We did then receive a dishevelled leaflet. We ordered afternoon tea. We were asked what do we want to drink. Then the waitress just said “a selection of sandwiches?” I said yes and off she went. I found this waitresses attitude quite arrogant with a couldn’t give a damn attitude as we were outsiders. No description of what we could have and she asked nothing about the cakes. I then noticed that to all other customers they were asked what fillings, bread etc then what cakes etc. I had to go up to the counter to say no egg sandwiches then I said to the waitress you haven’t asked me about the cakes. I then told her what I would like. The tea arrived a good while before the food. The tea was lukewarm on arrival so by the time the food came the tea and coffee were cold. The selection of sandwiches consisted of 4 ham salad and 2 cheese and raw onion. I’d say quantity over quality.

After hearing nothing but good things about Luchi’s Tea rooms my friends and I decided to book a visit. Well, they did not disappoint! A small tea room but by no means cramped we were greeted by friendly welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough for us. The High Tea as they call it is only £10.99!!! This includes sandwiches of your choice, crisps, buns, cakes and scones with clotted cream and jam along with a pot of tea or coffee! The presentation of the afternoon tea is beautiful with vintage cutlery to finish it off. We really were very impressed and cannot wait to return! We did see a few reviews stating there was too much food(!) however they do provide takeaway boxes for anything that isn’t eaten. We really couldn’t be more impressed with Louchi’s and will certainly be returning soon however I would recommended booking to avoid disappointment!

Been here twice in a short period of time after hearing such good things about this place. Both times we opted for the high tea and both times didn’t disappoint- though very busy, service received by all of the staff was 1st class. A different selection of sandwiches and cakes were presented both times. The quality of the high tea proved to be top class, with the food/ desserts being fresh. I would love to see you move to a bigger tea room in the future as I believe you’d be very successful

Staff were welcoming and accommodating, anything we asked for wasn't too much trouble, very helpful. They catered for my fish and nut allergies, no problems. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed and will definitely come back and recommend to friends. Just wish they had a bigger place more central in town because it's a shame to hide them away on the outskirts

Me and my wife went here on Saturday bank holiday weekend in the afternoon, the place was very busy which is not surprising in the least, I would recommend booking although we did not due to the size of this quaint little shop. I had carrot cake and a coffee and my wife had toffee cake and a pot of tea served in china cups and pots which all came to £7.80 - very reasonable. A selection of at least half a dozen cakes all home made and quiet simply the nicest cakes we have ever had. Highly recommended.

Fantastic little vintage cafe serving a fantastic range of food, we came here on the day of the royal wedding and the place was all decked out with decorations celebrating, I would highly recommend the Afternoon Tea which was wonderful and there was a slight mix up with our sandwiches which was rectified straight away by a friendly gentleman,young girls to taking orders were ok but think this cafe would benefit if there was slightly older staff who have more experience and interacted more with customers.

Been many time before, with a group of friends feel its not as good as previous visits. Service was bad, had to ask for more tea, knives and serviettes. And it wasn't until the end we were asked if everything was ok. Also the Scones were very dry, and cakes not as nice . Should have complained on the day , but was a birthday celebration hope things improve

Fabulous food but very disappointing service. We booked for 1.30 & wanted a relaxing family get together for 6 people. We were completely ignored on arrival & by 3pm we were being ushered out due to party booking which was not explained to us at time of booking (wks in advance) We felt like 2nd class citizens & it spoiled what should have been a nice family reunion. Shame as the food was lovely even if they did refuse to change a cake selection (no one liked chocolate cake but we we're not asked at time of order) won't hurry back sorry.

So I'd already visited Louchi's twice before for their high tea and was excited to bring my husband. We were not disappointed. Gorgeously fresh sandwiches with a mixture of fillings, a bowl of crisps, two scones with jam and cream, two cup cakes and two generous slices of sponge cake (one was chocolate orange cake and the other was raspberry and vanilla). Neither of us drink tea so we opted for a latte and a cappuccino which were lovely. We didn't manage to finish everything so the staff kindly gave us takeaway boxes to take the remainder of the food home. My only criticism is that the tables are very close together so if you sit on the outside of the table you get bumped into frequently. I know it cannot be helped because the shop is so petite but it wouldn't stop me coming back again and I will definitely be making a fourth visit very soon.

A small, unassuming shop front hides the loveliest of old fashioned tea rooms. Visited when with family, but even the 30 min drive did not detract from the ambiance. Chintz wall papers, china crockery together with food to die for, the cakes, say no more. Keep up the good work and standards. have seen some of the comments re being cramped for space, yes it is a bit tight but that mainly occurs if you have eaten all put before you !

Having visited several tea rooms, my daughter and I took a trip to Maesteg fir afternoon tea at Louchis. The premises was very quaint but a little squashed. Our pit if tea arrived along with the tiered plate of sandwiches and cakes ... You are given a choice if sandwiches which was quite nice. I must say though ..... The sandwiches were far from dainty! They were big thick builders sandwiches with crusts on. The cheese and onion sandwiches contained hand cut thick sliced cheese and thickly cut onion slices .... very gloopy. The cake was OK, but again cut in big slabs and thick with buttercream. Too difficult for us to eat, and it seemed everyone left with polystyrene take away boxes with the food they were unable to eat. Such a pity really. Maybe smaller, dainty sandwiches, and lighter cakes with real cream would prevent the need for expensive take away boxes being supplied. Everything was just too thickly cut and it filled you up to the point where it put you off.

I love LouChi's! I have visited a few times over the last year but most recently in March as a hen party for my sister. LouChi's is great value for money and the freshly made to order sandwiches and delicious cakes are to die for. The portions are extremely generous and they have something for everyone. I love that the cakes and bread are baked fresh every day.On this particular visut the team were hugely accommodating, even putting little 'L-plates' on the cupcakes and getting a balloon for the occasion.Will continue to come back here time and time again.

My mother and I visited Louchi's tearoom as a friend had bought a voucher for my mothers birthday. We both had the high tea, and were so impressed! The food was delicious, and serving sizes were incredibly generous. The surrounds were quirky and cute, you could tell a lot of thought and time had gone in to decorating such a bespoke cafè! All of the staff were very friendly, and made us feel welcomed. Really lovely place, I'd recommend anyone to go and have a slice of the cake here! Can't wait to go back myself!

I had heard great reviews of louchis and have been wanting to try for a while. I always keep an open mind when visiting new places no matter what I've heard, however this place did not disappoint!! Friendly, accommodating staff, delusions cakes and sandwiches and they go out of their way to cater your tastes, also a lovely proper cup of tea. The only complaint I could make is that the place is far too small. 6 of us were crammed around a table really made for 4.I would definitely recommend a visit to all

Well this little gem is tucked away just on the outskirts of measteg but with a try I took my friend there for her 60th Birthday treat wow fab sandwiches and cake not dainty only thing I have to say is as much tea is free but 1 cup of coffee only not even a milky one so a little confusing staff were fab and could not do enough for you but on second visit with my husband not so good we only had a sandwich its all about the high tea so if you are going just for a sanie nothing special sorry guys but wish we had the same welcome on the 1st visit welldone on your high tea though

Went to louchis with my daughter and her friend today and what a lovely afternoon it was ! Once of the nicest cream teas I've had . Lovely fresh sandwiches with a variety of fillings. And the cakes where superb ! We were defeated in the challenge to eat everything but we're offered boxes to bring the remaining cakes home. I am disabled but found there was plenty of room and the seats were very comfortable for me . Staff where pleasant and helpful and the prices were very reasonable . Definitely go back !!

We visited here for Afternoon Tea on a very rainy Saturday. An absolute gem , fantastic cakes and sandwiches. Spent nearly three hours here with outstanding service from all staff. Better than the Ritz and a fifth of the price!!. Would highly recommend and definately will return. Loved it..

Had a family tea here today wow fantastic food!! A great choice of delicious sandwiches enough variation to suit all tastes. Then the cakes oh my God they were gorgeous from a jam and cream scone to cupcakes to slices of wonderful cakes. Not the place to go if you're on a diet.

What a little hidden gem in amongst the boarded up windows ! It's like the Narnia of Maesteg ! The portions are very generous and the food is delicious. Really friendly service and nicely decorated with cute tea room finishing touches. Will definitely be back.

I am absolutely in love with Louchi's Tearoom. This isn't my first visit, we had the Afternoon Tea which is brilliant value for money. I don't know what bread they use but it is the best most softest bread ever. I don't know where to start with the homemade cakes. They are huge chunks of loveliness! The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

We called in here for morning coffee and decided to return for a late lunch. We had two minor concerns with our first visit: there were no menus on the table or in the window and we concluded this was a coffee/tea and cake shop only until we spotted a pile on a table near the back. Why not one on each table? I had asked for a decaf latte and was about to drink it when the waitress came back to say that due to a miscommunication, it was a caffeinated latte and she offered to change it. Despite these issues, we said we'd probably come back and asked what time they closed. She asked if we wanted to make a reservation and since we didn't know exactly when we'd get back and thought it would be well after any lunchtime rush, said we'd just see what was available at the time. Big mistake! When we got back at about 2.45 pm, the cafe was full and we were told it would be quite a while before there was a table free. Fortunately, a local family of four were willing to allow us to share their table for 6We had toasted sandwiches with salad garnish and a fresh cream and jam scone. All the food was excellent. We looked at what others were eating and most popular was what the cafe called "high tea" - just a name for a cake stand with a variety of sandwiches, two cakes and a fresh cream scone per person. It was clearly very popular, well presented and looking at the menu, good value. Service was a little patchy, but the cafe was so full it was hard to be critical and any slowness was quickly solved if we asked a waitress.Well worth a visit, but go with a big appetite and make a reservation!

I've had the pleasure of going for high tea twice here , once for Mothers Day and once as a guest at a birthday tea and quite simply it's Devine. The scones are as light as a feather , sandwiches so tasty and the cakes are to die for all served in mismatched China What a little gem of a place , best high tea around by a mile. Can't wait to return.

This is an absolutely fabulous little place to go for breakfast, lunch and tea. Cakes are to die for from cup cakes to large slices of homemade sponges. And they even make birthday cakes!! The staff are so friendly and helpful and service is definitely with a smile. They also cater for people with special diets and allergies. Would definitely recommend a visit there and will be returning soon for their huge high tea.

Just come home from The Best , high tea in the warmest friendliest , best service tearoom that I've visited. Been locally in Bridgend, 5 Star Birmingham City Centre Hotel,Cheltenham and Bristol, they couldn't complete with fabulous quality , spotless and very good value. Great flavoured tea, home baked cake and scones, fresh , tasty sandwiches. Portions large, you have been warned, no worries mind you are encouraged to take them home and keep the enjoyment going. Oh and free parking right outside or in the town car park. Highly recommended. Thanks all at Louchi's. Wonderful!

We were in Maesteg for a visit and thought we’d call into the market but found it had permanently closed 5 months previously. This cafe used to be in the market but is now in a precinct area just outside of it. We both went for the all day breakfast for £4 - great value - bacon, sausage, egg, hash brown, beans or tomatoes, mushrooms and toast as well as a mug of tea or coffee. For an extra £1 you could have had another egg, bacon, sausage, hash brown and a slice of black pudding. The place was clean and tidy and the staff friendly. If we ever return to Maesteg we’d be happy to return here.

What a treat what a stunning building this is. Went out for my parents anniversary and this was the perfect location they have been here many times before but this is a first for us. The food was so wonderful. I would highly recommend anybody coming here for food. We had a few cocktails. They were extremely nice a little bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

This is an awful Pub. The images on here are old. The place looks grotty and tired now. The staff are not too alert either. An unwelcoming place with far better pubs within 100 yards of this.
