We read the menu and went to order 2 crumpets each, but were told they dont do crumpets. We ordered the toasted teacake instead. The coffee was very nice as was the teacakes. 2 young men were serving and they worked well together. There was plenty of seating available with clean tables

Today I went to the cafe . Noticed they had soup. Simple aye. Easy to have. Tomato and red pepper. Easy. Had loads of soup. A lovely guy called carl I think brought it over. I KID YOU NOT! THE BEST SOUP I HAVE EVER TASTED, MY PARTNER AGREED. I almost asked to have more to take home. My taste buds were dancing. Can't wait to try that again. Lush

For the love of god don't do this to yourself. I ordered a bacon bap (simple right?). Bap had been there about 2 weeks - stale beyond. The bacon was stone cold and congealed grease. So I opened it up just to try and eat the bacon. Hair in my food! Took it back and they asked me if I wanted another one!

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Disorganised, dim staff but worst of all disgraceful hygiene practices. I ordered a jacket potato which was cut using hands, would have preferred glove wearing but when the same person picks all the salad components also with her hand, absolutely disgusting. Surely in a restaurant it is not best practice to pick lettuce, cucumber and tomato up by your hand. Are there no tongs in this hell hole. Please please food standards agency visit this place!

Don’t have the breakfast it’s not only tasteless but they ask how many eggs you want as you order then slapped on top of your breakfast is something that looks disgusting no form of a fried egg . Yolks are broken no care given by person doing them at all slap dash . This is the second time we visited thought maybe it would have been a one off but we were wrong all eggs served up in this way . Awful !!! Worse breakfast ever . I did tell them but nothing was done !! Must be a superior at this place they need to be checking how some staff are serving thing up . Cheep doesn’t have to mean awful . We love the store 5 out of 5 for that . The look of the cafe is lovely very modern and pleasant . Pity this is letting things down .

Went for Sunday carvery. Odd thing is it’s the same as the cavery in the week only a couple of pound more expensive. At 8.99 you could go to a pub. There are a few things that should be expected but they don’t seem too bothered. The minimum you can expect is the food to be warm not cold. Mine was cold, and there was no Q at the tills. Cold gravy on cold food. Should have gone back really, but would have made a poor experience worse. Also the service, felt I was putting them out. 2 slices of beef, well 1 slice and 1 where he started so thin it only had a small slither, should have tried again mate. All in all poor.

Wow, what can you say, just don't waste you your time or money, especially if you want to all eat together, some food ready, some you have To wait, and some you'll send back anyway. We called after picking some thing up in trago.

Visited trago Mills today and seen the fish ship "for cod sake " so decided to give it a try.. Worse and I mean worse chipshop we've ever tasted chips we're a mixture of microwave chips crossed with cardboard. I'm not one to leave reviews but it was that bad

Long wait despite being the only people there. The staff continued chatting as if alone. When we finally got the food nothing was cooked properly and it was all low quality frozen crap.

Chips not very good but fish was freshly cooked & tasty, Sandwich had a crust that was on it's way to being stale. 2 mains & a sandwich with 4 drinks came to almost £20. Not great overall.

Absolutely disgusting food. The miniscule portion of grey dry cod was coated in a thick rock hard inedible greasy batter. The peas were undercooked and stone cold. The chips were warm tasteless and mediocre at best. Left a Facebook review which was withheld by the café management who then sent me a personal message via messenger asking for my telephone number. Which I refused to give. Recommend eating elsewhere

Ordered a jacket potato, was like a rock and not crispy. Saw the chef use a really gross looking cloth to handle the food too. Wouldn't go again, didn't touch my food and got a refund.

Stopped in with a hungry 2 year old. Absolutely gobsmacked. Ordered 3 meals, jacket potato filling 'pot' was wrong, jacket was cold, and just zapped in microwave not crisped. Kids sausage and chips was served as an adult meal, swimming in gravy, so toddler then didn't want to eat it. Lastly cod and chips, chips were like cardboard, cold and hard. Cod was like sludge and completely bland. Tried to complain but was ignored as the lunch rush was starting. Won't be returning.

On the whole very good value for money, but....when they put the teaspoons on the saucers for you,they just grab a handfull and place them on the saucers after having just handled a load of coins from the previous customer....

Great choice of food, and well cooked, very tasty, good choice of drinks as well, great after spending too long in the store. Plenty of space but no doubt will be busy on Saturdays and Sundays.

Stopped here for lunch before we went shopping. The carvery was lovely. Wasn't overcooked and cold like some places. The staff serving the food was very polite and friendly. Will definitely have food again. Thanks.

Worst fish and chips we have ever had! Chips were so dry like cardboard we could not eat them. The fish was grey. I should think not cod and the batter was so discoloured I should think the oil had not been changed since they opened.

Had some fab food here today. Lots of choice too. What lovely staff - they were helpful and friendly, from the person who served us to the guy who cleared our table. Food and coffee was good and whilst the menu is fairly basic, there is a good range of dishes to choose from. The place is clean and tidy and I'd recommend a visit without hesitation. Prices are very reasonable.

Chicken burger and chips. £6+. Plain dry bun, a hard cold chicken burger and cold hard chips. Is it too much to ask for a hot appetising meal, little bit of garnish somewhere. I know it's a food court but for the price, surely they can do better. First and last visit for me.

Living quite close to Trago, we often go there. The Food is better and cheaper than many places, the cottage pie and lasagne are home made and very nice. It's what it says - cafe food, and very good value. The coffee area is a great place to meet up for a chat with friends. The teas and coffees are good with a full range of teas. I don't eat the cakes but they look tasty. Staff are mixed around a lot so sometimes friendly, helpful and happy; sometimes not so much. It works for me.

Had a light lunch here after a visit to Trago Mills. The food was good and it was really good value overall. It is café food, and was really good value for what we had! The café is spacious, so that also helps.

Just purchased 2 sandwiches 1 Coronation Chicken the other ham and cheese. The Coronation Chicken was disgusting. The bread was dry the crisps were soft and the salad had gone off. The cucumber was brown and slimey which in turn made the lettuce brown. Would not recommend

First visit to Trago Merthyr and decided to have a coffee before shopping. Walked into the café and coffee bar and it was very quiet as not long opened. Not knowing the layout we walked to the counter that you can see to the right as you walk in. Not realising that this was the coffee bar (thought it strange none of the usual offerings from Trago were there. Ordered Coffees and Tea along with cakes and sausage roll. Friendly service and very good value. It was only when we were seated did we notice the café situated on the other side of the area behind screens. When we entered we thought this was the staff washing up area, also heard a few other customers talking and they had not realised that that was the café counter. So perhaps clearer signage may be appropriate.

Excellent food had fish chips and mushy peas all very nice too much for me to finish too. Two cups of decent tea as well all for £12. I’m not local but just popped in as it was lunchtime glad I did , place seemed busy but staff were all friendly and on top of things. I’ve noticed that the Tripadvisor description notes this place as closed? I’ve tried adding a new place so if it works I’ll do the review again. Anyway thank you . Great food and hope to visit again sometime

The girl on the coffee machine took 25 mins to serve us because she was having a long in depth conversation with every customer to the point it was becoming awkward as she was giving details about her private life. She told one customer she loved chocolate and wanted to lick the cappuccino dust. She told another she’d had two takeaways that weekend. She poured the milk with her mouth inches from the cup breathing all over the rim. The whole experience was rather bizarre and her behaviour was really unsettling.

Really clean café, serving great value food, with friendly efficient staff. We had corned beef pie, gravy & chips, sausage & chips, cheese & potato pie, tea & milkshake. Cooked well (pies seemed homemade), and service good. Would recommend you call in when in the area.
