The Coffee Mill in Caerphilly

Was looking forward to trying this new cafe as I’ve heard many great things however my experience did not meet expectations. Servers took 10 minutes to acknowledge we’d come in (was 3 other small tables in). Managed to order after about 20 minutes. Drinks came quickly to be fair which were fine but food took over an hour to come. Everyone seemed to be waiting a while and many got up to ask where their food was. It was not busy at all. The cook in the kitchen rang the bell many times and the woman at the desk actually shook her head because she was doing something else and the chef had to bring it out himself. My friend ordered a jacket potato with chicken& mayo which should not take longer than 15 mins to do as it’s mostly pre-made fillings. I had a breakfast which I removed things from but still very simple items (sausages, beans, hash brown etc) and the nicest part was the Luke warm piece of toast I had. Really disappointed about this experience and has put me off wanting to visit again.

Good place to go for a nice breakfast and new waffles are amazing

Absolutely amazing service and the food is wonderful.

Really enjoyed my hour out with friends ,l been to mill on several occasions and always enjoyed myself and food lovely pleasant staff .

Quality food, good prices, friendly staff and atmosphere. Hunters chicken, and biscoff cake was banging fair play!

We’ve been coming here for a while now. The staff are friendly and very accommodating for children. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous. I always have the fried breakfast and it’s spot on. It’s quite reasonable price wise and competitive with cafes in the local area. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment as they get booked up fast.

Absolutely amazing! Bit of a long wait but totally worth it! We all enjoyed and everyone was kind and friendly! Would definitely recommend!

The Coffee Mill held my friend's baby shower and it was amazing! The food was absolutely stunning and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend!

Great little Café excellent service fantastic food highly recommended

Friendly, clean and reasonable prices service with a smile great food great cakes. Always willing to accommodate requests such mine for bacon fruit and maple syrup on my delicious pancake order. Tables can be reserved and is advisable especially on Saturday.

The young lady who took our order did not bring a notepad so when our food arrived, it was wrong and we had to get up to ask.

A must visit for food lovers! A Warm friendly welcome from lovely staff. You can tell this place is popular, it was full and had an amazing buzz! The coffee is lovely and strong but not bitter. I had a delicious lunch from The specials board. Sourdough with avocado, poached eggs, streaky bacon, chilli flakes and rocket. Perfect poached eggs! I will definitely visit again.

Visited today with my aunt for some breakfast. Instead of breakfast I had the turkey, sausage, stuffing and cranberry sauce yorkshire pudding wrap from the winter warmer menu. Honestly, the best thing I have ever eaten and freshly made. Yorkshire wrap was light, not at all greasy, and filled to the brim. Absolutely superb. Huge compliments to the chef and highly recommended. Thank you :-)

A lovely cafe everything you need from breakfast to lunch and desserts! Fast service excellent prices very friendly staff members! Very friendly, quiet and deliver smile all the time! Last but not least Dog friendly and the dog had water and sausage! I would recommend The Coffee Mill for anyone!

Visited for a quick lunch on my way through. What a lovely place! Good food (catered for my gluten intolerance), friendly staff and a great atmosphere, it was nice to see such a busy bustling cafe.

A little gem of a find for me! Lovely friendly welcome. Coffee awesome and a brilliant cooked breakfast. Busy vibe too; you can tell the locals like this place. That tells you all you need to know! Fabulous and thank you!

Lovely place, friendly staff and great coffee!

Lovely place, staff are really nice, even let me take my dog in with me.

Lovely coffee shop, pet and child friendly

Lovely little cafe, staff are lovely would highly recommend. Pup even came along too

Nice little cafe, was busy and yet the staff were still very friendly. We had not booked a table yet the staff found a space for us as long as we were out by the time the table was due for the reserved time which we were (just). Orders easily taken and food was out pretty quickly. I only dropped a star because I felt my bap was empty each side, one sausage and one slice of bacon didn’t seem enough for the price and it wasn’t explained that it was only one sausage on the menu. Coffee was delicious, the two others were with really enjoyed the English Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. If I was in the area again I would visit again (and book this time).

I would recamend the coffee mill to my friends

Swimming in oil looked terrible should of went to Morrisons for breakfast waited ages but don’t mind if it nice not a posh breky at all

Stopped off here having needed to take a break from Driving,never been to Risca before,let alone this cafe.Was met with a smile and greeting,Lady took my order and I sat down,My breakfast and tea came shortly after,.very enjoyable and filling, 1st time here ,but def not my last, Dda Iawn i chi.Diolch

I came across this fabulous coffee shop last week as I was on one of my walks, I was welcomed by all the staff and they were all so lovely and friendly. This place is absolutely spotless, clean and tidy you can see they all work very hard. The coffee in this place beats places like Starbucks and costa by a mile and the food is absolutely stunning. I have visited the coffee shop twice in one week I can honestly say whenever I’m up that way, I’m definitely going in there as it a fabulous place if your on your own, with family or friends it truly is for everyone. I feel the staff goes above and beyond the can’t do enough for you and I really hope they all gets recognition for this review many thank and will be back there in a few days

We were looking for somewhere for lunch with my father-in-law and saw the reviews for The Coffee Mill. We pre-booked as it was Easter holidays and had a warm welcome when we arrived. The atmosphere was friendly and the cafe had interesting photos around. Everything was very clean. We had full cooked breakfast for lunch and it was very good. Everything was cooked well and the fried bread delicious too. Coffee and cake were also just to our taste. We hope to return soon.

The food and service were 1st class (5 star) yet again.

My sister and I enjoyed an excellent afternoon tea at the Coffee Mill today. We had a very good choice of sandwiches and the most delicious quiche I've tasted in a long time. We also had a selection of beautiful freshly baked cakes plus scones with jam and cream along with tea or coffee. Many thanks to Jay, Sarah and lovely staff, we'll be back!

We to go out of our way to visit this cafe. Very friendly service excellent food especially the cakes spotlessly clean Also excepts dogs which is a bonus.

Lovely food and nice hot full cups of coffee, Jordana and girls so pleasant 👍

Lovely coffee makes to your requirement. Friendly staff, excellent service, lovely food. Never fails to disappoint.

Best flat white coffee around by far!!! Thank you 😍

Go out of my way to go here stunning tasty hot veggie breakfast and a pot of tea.. The Glamorgan sausages are incredible.. Beaufiul place fabulous staff a real treat. Cakes big and fresh if you have room. GREAT find

Jay + the Girl's never fail to serve lovely food+the cakes are to die for 😍😋 Keep up the great service Girl's👌5🌟 Kim xxx

Had a breakfast here and wasn't disappointed. Everything cooked fresh and was hot. Its the same when I've had a takeaway breakfast. The place is so clean and all staff helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone. Many thanks team.

Great food great service boys from Re-dec.co.uk loved it

Lovely breakfast, will definatly come back x

Visited for the first time today with my 3 month old. Staff were very warm and welcoming. It was like they couldn’t do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. Even offered to feed the baby for me, while I had a hot meal which as a new mum, was very much appreciated. Didn’t have to wait long at all for food, the cooked breakfast was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Definitely my new favourite place. 100% would recommend.

As a local, I'm always glad I know I can meet family and friends here and we will always enjoy it. There is ALWAYS a gluten free option, which I really appreciate!(rather than many coffee outlets who don't have anything GF on their menu, or just a sad little brownie in cellophane) It's always clean and welcoming. Thank you Coffee Mill!

Lovely coffee, cakes, comfy seats & friendly staff ☕️🍰 😋

Visited this morning with my husband and baby daughter. Lovely, clean surroundings. Very attentive and helpful staff. I had French toast with bacon which was lovely. My husband had a cooked breakfast which he also enjoyed (although he missed a hash brown!) Good prices, quick service and a lovely morning. Definitely recommend and will visit again.

I recently ordered a Victoria sponge for my sister's 60th birthday and was absolutely thrilled with it. Jay had decorated it beautifully and kindly carried it safely packaged to the car for me The cake was delicious and much appreciated by all. I can definitely recommend the Coffee Mill and look forward to trying afternoon tea there sometime. Thanks a lot Jay. Best wishes, Gill

Great breakfast and cozy little cafe. Friendly staff and owner 😊

Excellent toasted sandwiches, best I've had in a long long time. Hot chocolate also FAB.

Lovely coffee, very friendly staff, always a warm welcome, thank you.

Excellent service, great atmosphere. Have had a bunch of breakfasts and afternoon teas here always amazing food and lovely staff. Best café in Risca.

Excellent service and the breakfast was very nice and coffee to the staff was great and welcoming,A+

Service was amazing and cake was delicious

Very good as usual. We'll done.

I honestly love this place. Its clean and tidy, the staff a friendly and the food and coffee is great. I will definitely be a regular customer at the coffee mill.

Best coffee shop around! Super friendly and attentive staff, food is always great and the cakes are amazing

Fantastic food and service as always. My favourite place to be ❤

Risca is very fortunate to have such a first class Cafe literally on it’s doorstep. I’ve long been a devotee of the Coffee Mill. There’s something literally for everyone, the portions are more than generous especially the cakes and the prices reasonable. In addition, the cakes are all made on the premises and every time the selection which is considerable is different plus all delicious. The Mill has been running for five years and the Staff couldn’t be more welcoming. Due to it’s popularity it’s essential you pre-book!

A am a frequent visitor of the coffee mill with my friends. Whether eat in or take out. We love the tandoori chicken baguettes :)

Visited the Coffee Mill on a Saturday when we should have booked but they made space for a group of 3 adults and a toddler. The coffee was really good, and I had the bacon melt crumpets. Very tasty and a good portion size. Couldn’t...

Excellent staff and service as always, working hard to keep us safe fabulous food and coffee

Lovely Coffee shop with pleasant staff. Cakes are spot on.!Got the local vibe you don't get in a chain.

it was brilliant staff are so accommodating. x x x

Nice cafe, but I would rate it behind the Brew house (closed today, hence how I came to be here). That aside, food and coffee very nice and good service.

I Called in today and was totally impressed with the quality of food, service and overall cleaning standards inside during these very difficult times. Well done i will be spreading the word and calling in again. Kind regards Ben, the guy who gave you my business cards earlier.

It was Mums idea to pop in and try this place as I am moving to Risca imminently. And I’m so glad we did. The staff the food and the vibe here are just amazing and I can’t wait to frequent this place ASAP!

A good place for a coffee and chat. With a cheeky snack to go with it. Good atmosphere to enjoy a break.

My daughter who lives away, ordered afternoon tea for my husband & I, as a treat whilst we are in isolation. It was delivered whilst still observing social distancing. The lady was particularly friendly & helpful, explaining how to warm the scones if we wanted...

Popped in today for a warming coffee and cake. We weren't disappointed. The strawberry cake was absolutely delicious. Will be back soon. Thank you.

We travelled up from Somerset first thing and enjoyed coffee and breakfast here. Service was excellent. Food was freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Reasonable prices too. We will definitely visit again.

Had a mocha each which had to be sent back because there was no coffee in them. Instead of just putting coffee in, the young lady argued with us about it first. The girls who work there are bored and unfriendly. No greeting, no goodbye,...

First time here and what a lovely little cafe. Warm friendly welcome and atmosphere. Good food and gorgeous looking cakes - a must for our next visit.

Why haven’t we stopped here before I ask myself ? I had the English breakfast and the wife choose the Vegetarian option booth freshly cooked and perfect in every sane . plain and simple but perfectly done

Friendly service, lovely good. Cannot fault it. Very accessible for prams as well which is an added bonus and very child friendly.

Had afternoon tea a little while ago and it was the best I've had after sampling many places! Great place, will definitely be returning soon

Walked in to an empty place. Stood around for 3 or 4 minutes while the staff talked in the kitchen. One lady came out, looked at me, said nothing, went back in kitchen. Can’t be bothered by a place that can’t be bothered by us. Would have loved to try their coffee. This was around 2:30 today.

Love this place ! Very friendly staff with excellent coffee and amazing selection of cakes 🥰

Thank you for Hannah 40th birthday cake at short notice It was fantastic Jordana xxx

Fresh food and outstanding cakes. Friendly staff

We were just avoiding an accident on the M4 and ended up here as an unplanned lunch stop. Glad we did. Nice food and coffee (the Mexican breakfast wrap was excellent), friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Best place to eat and drink coffee in Risca. Lovely food, fantastic owner, friendly staff and the most amazing cakes. Highly recommended.

The Coffee Mill is popular for local and passing trade. Coffee is excellent. The cakes are made fresh, the menu is right for the place and size of cafe. Good family atmosphere friendly staff. Larger parties may need to reserve a table at peak times....

Gorgeous homemade cakes and amazing hot chocolates made the kids very happy! Friendly staff and very clean, would recommend

Regularly attend this place for coffee and for breakfast. The food is very reasonably priced and very good. The coffee is also good. The one thing that can be an issue here is that, due to the popularity of the place, it can be challenging to find anywhere to sit sometimes. That said, the staff are lovely and will attempt to sort something out.

Friendly staff, great breakfast. Lovely cakes. A much needed addition to Risca. The only thing I would say is that the sausages could be of better quality. But apart from that it’s a good cafe

This place is simply lovely for breakfasts, for lunches and for amazing cakes and hot drinks. Friendly comfortable and with lovely food its an absolute gem of a place. Its always busy and its smallish so phone ahead and book to be sure of a...
