Spartacus in Ceredigion

The food was ok ( paninis) but we were not impressed with how the food was prepared and thought hygiene standards were not great. Sandwiches were prepared without plastic gloves and I watched one member of staff preparing a baguette wearing a lot of jewellery on her fingers and wrist. After prepping she then used her mobile phone. I didn’t see anyone wash their hands. I wouldn’t feel confident about eating there again unless standards of preparation were improved.

We pop-in and collect some sandwiches for full family. It was very freshly and attractive. We love all.

Ludicrous price for a baguette (£5.90) with hardly any filling. 5 tiny pieces of chicken and a slither of coleslaw. They used to fill the baguettes to the brim but now you are left still hungry. Very disappointing!

I have been visiting Sparatacus for many years and am most disappointed that the last few times i have been they seem to be scrimping on baguette fillings i hardly had any cheese in my baguette and a bit of coleslaw, when paying over £5 for a baguette i atleast expect there to be a good amount of filling in there.

Fresh baguettes and a family must when we visit Aberystwyth. Looking forward to our next BLT or Prawn based servings.

I ran in quickly after visiting my mum in hospital before I had to get the train home. Nice to be met with a friendly helpful face. Lovely cuppa tea , chocolate brownie and a freshly made baguette while you wait. Would definitely recommend.

Ordered salad bowl which was a small plate and the panini came with nothing, be nice to have it with a little side salad etc,

When you specifically ask for something to be left out of your panini to arrive home to eat your panini and that exact ingredient has been included. Usually love Spartacus but will stick to the main one from now on.

Every student raves about Spartacus, I've gone many years without trying it, it was time to change that. Now I want to stress I've been picking up Spartacus products from the Spars and University cafes etc. This is not based on the premise of the building. So ignore any rating for service. Meals: The Welsh one, Turkey & Coleslaw, All day breakfast, Sausage cheese chutney to name a few. Pros:The Ciabatta bread on these sandwich is to die for. Completely fresh inside but crispy outside. I'd be extremely shocked if these were bought in frozen and defrosted. The Welsh One: Ham, cheese and coleslaw. Can't fault it, has been nice each time. Sausage, Apple and Chutney: Now in school I had this combo and everyone thought I was an odd ball. So when I saw this on the shelf I had to try it. I'd have to say its quite possibly my favorite sandwich. This is now my standard go to. Cons:The Turkey and coleslaw: It might sound daft but this was a very dry combo to me. If I didn't pick up a drink I don't think I'd have been able to finish this one. The bread was also stale. How I just want to re-stress this was bought from a third party. In this case the little spar. So it's entirely possible they just left it out longer than they should. Price. For a sandwich solo they are quite expensive. Again, this could very well be the third parties hiking the price to make it justifiable, but I for one couldn't afford one of these daily. All in all from what I've tried so far, this is probably the best sandwich maker in town so far.

Unbelievably rude staff with mature assistant shouting at me as if I was stupid or deaf. She pointed to the salad choices on the wall, almost screaming what I should choose. This was seconds after we had entered and politely askwd for a salad. The food itself was ok but the plates were so tiny, half of my rice spilled over onto the table. Absolutely shocking behaviour. We only stayed as we were hungry and had been on the road down from Scotland.

On an early morning walk before work and needing coffee. A lovely little cafe with a wide range of coffees and snacks. Take away and sit in options both available. Nice tasting coffee and friendly service.

Just that, really. Pleasant enough cafe, ok selection of ice creams (they were all enthusiastically eaten) but £2 for a walnut-sized ball of ice cream must be the biggest rip-off in town! We sat down to eat them, and were in and out within five minutes.

Came here on a Saturday lunch time with my partner, I ordered a salad bowl and he ordered a panini to eat in. So when the menu say's salad BOWL and you order a salad BOWL I expected my salad in a BOWL, but instead it came on a long rectangle plate!? With all the ingredients I ordered it was a bit difficult to mix it all up and eat it! I just enjoy a salad bowl! Also with my partners panini there was no salad garnish or anything which would have been a nice finishing touch. There was nothing wrong with the food it was just a bit boring in taste and the way it looked and was presented was very boring!

excellent cafe, very clean and excellent coffee and snacks - not sure why i missed this gem before but will keep visiting

We took the kids (teenagers) here for lunch and although the kids thought the food and drinks were great - we (adults) didn't! Coffee could have been better. I had a tuna melt and really didn't enjoy it - very cold tuna in a hot pannini bread just didn't taste right. The meals were a good price though and the kids were really happy with smoothies and their panninis.

Lovely sandwiches filled with fresh ingredients, polite staff and short wait. Loads of veggie stuff too! 🥒🌽🥗

Esperando el tren en Tywyn, estuve hablando con un amigo que me dijo que siempre vaya aquí para el almuerzo cuando están en Aberystwyth.

Popped in several lunchtimes for something to eat. Had a pannini each time. Very tasty. staff friendly and service was quick. Would be my first call for sandwiches in Aberystwyth.

Just by the station, this is a smart friendly cafe which is half coffee shop half ice cream parlour and both were pretty good!

Me detuve por una baguette para salir para el almuerzo. Tenía un brownie. El pan era agradable y encantadora, crujientes y suaves fuera dentro. El llenado era bastante bueno, pero un poco sin lujos, que esperaba de gama más alta para el precio. Dijo que sabía muy bien y el brownie estaba exuberante, parecía bastante caro para lo que era. Comedor en la opción era aún más caro, ¿por qué supongo que de nadie.

No fuimos en colas (lo único bueno) servido por la mujer que ha sido brummie allí durante años. Pedimos una ensalada de 2 bits tenía sobre una pieza de lechuga y tomate y un cobertizo con un montón de mayonesa. Habló de Sue Blair - el jefe mientras sirve. Cosas puso en mi ensalada no quería luego gruñó cuando pregunté si podía tener sin el maíz, etc... Dijeron que era de £4 dio £5 Ella permaneció en hablar con el jefe mi £1 en el mostrador sin ni siquiera mirándome o decir nada desagradable! Porciones siempre ha sido estrecha, pero modales han ido mal! Spartacus II mucho mejor con personal mejor!

La comida estaba bien. Me pareció que el personal no les gustaba. También no entiendo por qué es más caro para sentarse. Casi un 1 libras más cara en algunas cosas. No te hacen sentir como si quieres sentarte a comer!

Good selection of baguettes, however they can take a while to prepare it for you.So I wouldn't recommend going in on a rush.

On our way back from the center we passed this place and decided we would like an ice-cream. That was really good! Had some ice-cream in Snowdonia park somewhere and that was nice, but also very expensive. This was nicer and far more cheaper. Saw you can order all sort of fast food too, but we just had an ice-cream.

An excellent place to get freshly made baguettes and paninis. Bread freshly baked and salads crisp and fresh. Prices not the cheapest but quality consistently high.

Love this place and we always come back for more. Nothing really beats a Spartacus baggute while sitting on the sea front.

This is a good place to get sandwiches or paninis on a Sunday when almost nothing is open. They make good sandwiches.

Used reguarly through December for a quick snack, usually a baguette and a brownie. Seem fresh and brownie is very tasty. Staff always friendly and decent value. Menu offers much more Inc. pizza, burgers etc.

Nice looking clean cafe with helpful friendly staff. Unfortunately the food and drink was nothing special for the high prices. The difference between takeway prices and eat in is too great and there is no toilet.
