Poppies in Carmarthenshire

I have wanted to visit this little cafe for some times as the food pictures looked great. My partner and I visited and he had a toasted brie, cranberry and bacon sandwich and I had a tuna mayo toasted sandwich; both came with a side salad. For 2 toasted sandwiches and 1 cup of black coffee the cost was over £11.00. I feel that is too much for these types of lunch time foods. Yes the food was nice, but not at that cost. I will be going elsewhere for the same price or less. The cakes looked nice and the area was clean.

average cakes, even though they look nice, very pricey fro 2 slices a tea and a coffee. Just an average joes cafe so the prices did not warrant the place.

We went to Poppies yesterday lunchtime after I had seen it on facebook. There is lots of free car parking outside & we soon found the coffee shop. There was a wide variety of food on the menu but not particularly cheap at £6.30 for a jacket potato with tuna. We ordered 3 jacket potatoes and after quite a wait over 20 mins we had our food. It was well presented & lovely & hot my only comment would be that larger plates might be an idea or less lettuce as soon as you touched it something fell onto the table. Girls were very polite & good customer service.

Lovely place to eat, sandwiches are freshly made, with a choice of wholemeal or white bloomer bread, generously filled, homemade coleslaw or olives on the side and a large side salad. Great choice of soups also, again a very generous portion. Good selection of teas, coffee and cakes. All food freshly prepared to order. Staff are excellent, friendly, efficient and accommodating.

My wife and I love to have a snack here whenever we pass. The food is always served fresh and with great service. I love their soups and baguette. Your always made welcome and the more we eat here the have got to know what we like to eat. It might not be the ritz but the portions and presentation of food. Puts many restraunts to shame. The place is always clean and welcoming.

Called for a quick coffee on a wet Thursday, really pleasantly surprised at quality of coffee and range of tasty food and cakes. But what really impressed was staff who were friendly and welcoming, such a breath big fresh air in the current t culture of cold chains and franchises. We'll done all at Poppies!

Poppies is a great place for a tasty, well prepared and presented meal. Great service and always welcoming. Well worth a visit.

I reccommend this cafe to anyone . it is clean , lovely home cooked breakfast , and even an all you can eat big fry up and if you eat it all you can win a t shirt and your name on the board ,

This is a lovely little cafe within a great garden centre. All the food is homemade with homemade portions! Complimentary welshcakes and bottles of ice cold water make all the difference to a cafe, small but simple gestures. We had sandwiches which came with a generous side salad and crisps. All delicious!

Poppies Cafe is situated in the Fforest Mill Garden Centre, I had not visited before but what a pleasant surprise I had. I ordered a sandwich which was served on the freshest bread I have ever tasted (you could also choose a baguette or bloomer) which was served with a lovely side salad and home made coleslaw. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. The ladies serving were very friendly and helpful. The menu also offered breakfast, jacket potatoes and children's meals all reasonably priced. There were also very tempting cakes on display but I was too full after my sandwich to try one. Next time I'll try a cuppa and a cake instead, I did also notice a sign for an afternoon cream tea..... What a hidden gem Poppies is.

I'm pleased to see this cafe is now open for reviews. We visited with a Groupon voucher some months ago on a cold and wet Welsh afternoon, but left having enjoyed some tasty well-filled toasted Italian-style rolls (panninis?) and cakes with big pot of tea. The service was friendly and quick. The waitrose even brought a fan heater over to our table for extra warmth, which was much appreciated. Good value even without a Groupon. Its also not far from the motorway exit.
