The Cwtch Cafe in Monmouthshire

Highly recommend this place. First time purchasing and was very impressed. Had the salmon and cream cheese bagel with salad. Also some cakes. Best I’ve tawed by far! Will be returning again to Chepstow just to have lunch from here!

Quaint, tiny cafe split across an alleyway. Delicious cake and boba tea!

We were shocked when we were charged £32 for 2 takeaway sandwiches and coffees! We'd stopped by the hatch, encouraged by the chatty owner, to pick up a sandwich ahead of a walk. The food was nice but the extortionate price not. Apprently avocado and cream cheese are 'supreme fillings'. They should really display their prices more clearly for customers.

Came across this lovely cafe today. We were made so welcome - myself, my Mum and Monty my Cavachon too! Dog friendly, and cosy too The homemade cakes were to die for washed down nicely with a Latte Looking forward already to our next visit

Myself and my colleagues often order from the cwtch. The service is fast and always with a smile. The food is of excellent quality and plenty of it. What's not to love?!

Small intimate and cosy space, with a selection of coffees and cakes to die for.

As we only live 20 mins away and fancied a look around Chepstow we thought we would drop in for lunch. I had a bacon baguette and my wife had a cream cheese and smoked salmon bagel. Both came with a very nice salad. We really enjoyed both of these dishes. The staff and owner were very attentive and impressed upon us that all the food is freshly prepared. We purchased a large slice of homemade honeycomb cake to take away and have at home with a cup of tea. It was really tasty. We will definitely visit again and recommend you do the same if you are in Chepstow.

Great selection of food - fantastic toasties - brilliant salad - and all for a very reasonable price. Well worth finding on the lane, easy parking as well.

Food is very nice - all made to order and tastes great. A couple of small things could be improved though - the menu says they do smoothies etc but they don't anymore. I ordered one and the person serving me said "we don't do those" so I pointed to the list of smoothie options next to her and she just blankly said "yeh we don't do them" which I thought was a bit odd - they should take down what they don't do anymore. Then the owner is a bit too conversational for my liking. We've been a couple of times and it's nice that she says hello and asks if we like the food, but a few times she's sat I the cafe with us and spoken to us for a long time, when really if we're going for lunch we probably want to chat ourselves.

Cosy and friendly little cafe off the high street. I had a nice coffee and a slice of espresso martini cake which was huge but so delicious that I had to finish it all.

Bijou, warm indoor seating area. Service was slow but they do serve each item freshly prepared. £16.35 for a toastie, side salad and latte was in my opinion expensive, too expensive for what i got! Do to time I had to leave with my order in a box, when I opened the box the order was incorrect, I ordered brown and I got very doughy white bread and it was too wet and sticky to eat and got thrown away.

Stopped here for a bite of lunch and so pleasantly surprised. Warm and cosy, lovely friendly service, and the food was really top-notch, with quality ingredients treated well. With ref to some of the more negative reviews, if you want cheaper pre-prepared fast food there are lots of chain options in Chepstow. If you want food prepared to order in a lovely small venue and are happy to pay a little premium for noticeable quality then this is for you.

We happened upon this tiny little gem of a cafe whilst visiting Chepstow. It is split across an alley with the kitchen and serving hatch to one side a a warm and welcoming dining area the other. Lovely coffee. Freshly prepared salads with homemade pickles. Also beautiful homemade cakes. Marion the owner and Amy provided excellent service service and more over, shared funny stories about the cafe and their recipes. Marion has also created an intimate and homely atmosphere encouraging her guests to chat we happily did so with a local lady and a couple who were visiting from Bath. It was such a lovely hour spent with beautiful food and such a warm funny and welcoming host. Would highly recommend this place and will visit again. Thank you Marion xxx

£9.95 for a thin, toasted cheese & onion sandwich which tasted OK

We stumbled upon this place during our short stay in Chepstow and aren't glad we did! The food was lovely and freshly prepared as promised. We ordered the Brie bacon and cranberry toastie which I think will remain a favourite. The service was fantastic, I haven’t experienced such friendly service in some time which just adds to the intimacy and comfort of the place. It really makes you want to come back: even pop in for a chat!! So here we are just before we head back home, sharing another cuppa with the lovely Marion and Olivia! :) If you’re ever in Chepstow, pop in! It’ll be the highlight of your trip.

This is a small, cosy, wonderful, independent little business. The friendly staff offered me menus, as I waited for my friend to arrive. Everything is prepared fresh, with flexible options. Our food was beautifully presented and was really tasty. Coffee was great, then the cake was fantastic! This will be my fave place to go in Chepstow, especially as it's convenient from the High St and Library car park (just downhill behind the pet shop).

Great little place in Chepstow. Other places may be cheaper and quicker, but if you want quality and personal service, this is the place to go to.

Well, what can I say. It really is one of Chepstows best kept secrets. The food is fantastic and the people there are so friendly and attentive who really make you feel welcome. The whole place has a warm friendly atmosphere and I would highly recommend the bacon, brie and cranberry triple toastie. It is truly tremendous.

We've had a lovely lunch today. The treble bacon with brie and cranberry was truly delicious- itcwas the aroma of the bacon that brought us to the cafe. My chicken sandwich was sooo yummy, especially with lashings of proper butter on the seeded bread. The salad garnish was incredible with such fresh leaves, pickled peppers and parma ham. The staff are really friendly and were very accommodating to make room for our labradoodle.

Lovely food in a cute little cafe. Staff very friendly. Food all freshly made and prepared.

Wonderful little cafe although cafe doesn't really do it justice! Toasted sandwiches were very well filled and tasty and the 'side' salad is so much more than the basic lettuce and tomato, best I've had yet! Staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive, very highly recommended🙂

Lovely little place with lovely staff, all food is freshly made and you can see the passion they have for food and for the cafe, will be making regular visits

My partner and I visited the Cwtch cafe whilst having a few days away from our home city of Cardiff. The Cwtch Cafe was warm and welcoming on a lovely winters day. The hosts simply couldn’t do enough for us and we had some lovely conversations! It says something when you ask for a coke which was unavailable but the sever (sorry didn’t catch the young lads name!) goes to the shop so you can have a glass, now that’s service! Food was phenomenal and the coffee was delicious! All the added extras in the salad were yummy and the ploughman’s lunch contained several types of cheeses and big pickled onions. In the city you’d expect for the price a small toasted sandwich and gesture of salad so I think the price is extremely reasonable if not cheap! We really enjoyed ourselves and it’s made us want to come back for the day to have lunch with a visit to the castle. The cwtch is definitely a must if you want to visit cosy cafe where the owners clearly take pride in their food and giving guests an awesome experience. Will certainly be recommending!!

We had a lovely lunch in this little cafe in the centre of Chepstow. Staff were really friendly and the food was wonderful 😊 we ordered the bacon, Bree and cranberry toastie which came with a lovely salad. All food is freshly prepared to order. Highly recommended!

Delightfully cosy, welcoming, delicious cake, proper cup of tea and hot chocolate.

Excellent customer service, friendly owner and beautiful homemade cakes. We highly recommend the carrot and walnut cake.

This lady is a legend! The food the fuss 5 star does not cover it.xx

Accidentally came across this lovely cafe, with a very friendly and attentive owner. Nothing was too much trouble, with the food being well worth the wait. As promised, we will return ( for your ploughman’s !! )

Lovely, lovely owner. Freshly prepared food and sweet little cafe.

A hidden gem! Popped in today with my dad for a coffee and some lunch, we were pleasantly surprised by the most beautiful presentation and tasty food! The passion for excellent food and customer service is evident! Reasonable prices for such amazing service! Highly recommend visiting this intimate spot! Can’t wait to visit again with the rest of the family! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Lovely pot of tea for one and a latte. It was late in the day, close to closing time, so we didn't order food. The staff were very friendly.

Excellent value for money. Toasted sandwich very large portion, lots of delicious potato salad and salad leaves.

We had a delicious panini lunch, tucked into the quirky little cafe. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Well worth a visit!!!😋😊

Lovely lunch at this small, friendly, independent cafe. Generous portions and freshly cooked. Delicious! Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely a gem of a cafe, serving delicious food and Brilliant service catering for your every need. This is a hidden jewel of Chepstow, not to be missed!

Delicious food. Amazing and excellent customer service.

Whow what a little gem of a place. Food and drinks first rate. Lady that runs it is a breath of fresh air with her witty comment about her food and herself. Leo her helper was a little embarrassed when introduced to us while commented we had a grandson with same name and they were both gorgeous boys which the owner couldn't help teasing him. A place well worth searching out.

Came across this lovely little café by accident while visiting Chepstow Castle. The service was friendly and welcoming. It is on the expensive side compared to other cafés in the area, but the food was fresh and tasty.

Such a great café. Amazing food and coffee, run by the loveliest people. Well worth a visit.

Dog friendly, human friendly, great quality, great taste, cute rooms, I can’t wait to go back there :-)

We wanted a 'last supper' on our way back from The Green Gathering at the racecourse. We were hungry, having suffered a bus queue for three hours with no food, and I was imagining ordering two paninis as the fillings can be a little thin...

Great alternative venue. Great coffee, great food, and friendly staff. Made to feel very welcome.

What a delightful find walking down into town. I chose the salmon and cream cheese bagel with came with fresh salad and roe dressing. It was delicious. The owner was extremely joyous and as appreciation of our custom gave us a sample of her chocolate...

The entire staff was extremely lovely and attentive. They even put a cute lil strawberry on the water glasses 😭 the food was JUST what I was looking for and coffee exceptional.

We loved stopping off for lunch here whilst it was raining. The staff were really friendly, socialable and created a homely feel. I had the triple bacon and my wife had the Cwtch bagel. I wish I had taken a picture of the food as it was just as delicious as the other pictures look. The homemade salad was full of flavour and a variety of vegetables. The walnut cake was a very generous size and you could tell it was lovingly made. I would highly recommend this place.

What a lovely little find. Super cute and small with big comfy chairs to sink in to, we were served by a lady & young fella who were both super enthusiastic about the Cwtch and very friendly. All food freshly prepared and after our baguettes & coffee we were offered another drink and little chocolate brownie on the house. Very enjoyable. We also met another couple in there who had also found this little gem via Google and had a lovely chat with them over lunch.

Had the most wonderful experience at The Cwtch Café. Stopped in for lunch and were treated to one of the best salads I’ve ever had and incredible hospitality. Everything made fresh and custom tailored to your tastes and interests. I wish I lived closer so...

This is without doubt the best cafe in Chepstow. You’ll find it off the high street, so be careful not to walk past the archway which leads to it. The food is excellent - all of it is prepared from scratch and with fresh ingredients,...

This is a great find. It’s always a good recommendation when you see locals use it. The food is lovely and the service is just fab. They are friendly and helpful. I came here because I knew I could specify what I wanted. It’s all...

Absolutely lovely! The staff were so friendly, and the milkshake and cupcake that I had were both delicious!

Best lunch out. Took a while to serve it but well worth the wait. Excellent tasty food. Cafe not the easiest to find but persevering pays off.

What a charming little cafe just off the main road, staff are friendly and serve you with a warm welcoming smile.Olivia makes a very nice crime cake(Victoria sponge with strawberry sauce).We even went back on our way home.Well worth a visit.

Tucked away off Bank Street this is the perfect place for an unrushed lunch or afternoon tea. The service from the young team is first class and the food worth the wait. We had delicious toasted sandwiches and a beautifully presented ploughman’s. The gelato ice...

We saw the advertising sign on the main road so thought we would check it out. On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile and asked what we would like to order. We ordered two teas and the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels...

Perfect cafe for a ladies brunch. The Muffin and ice cream was amazing so if you’re looking for a drink and cake (amazing cake at that) then the Cwtch Cafe is the best place to visit.

Gorgeous food - had a panini followed by cheesecake. Nice friendly staff and comfortable seating. Really reasoable price

Fabulous toasted sandwich for lunch with great salad that came of greens, grains and vegetables and more. Choose your bread and toppings then let an artist work her culinary magic! Loved my smoothie as well!

Auf dem Weg zur Burg haben wir nach einem Cafe gesucht um einen leckeren Kaffee zu trinken und ein Stück Kuchen zu essen:) sind auf 'The Cwtch Cafe' gestoßen und haben eine sehr, sehr freundliche Gastgeberin vorgefunden sowie Kaffee und hausgemachten, leckeren Kuchen:) wir fanden es toll, alles bestens und können das Café nur weiterempfehlen. Lieben Dank an die Inhaberin für das nette Gespräch und die Gastfreundlichkeit:) LG die Karlsruher:)

Really great little eating place. I had lunch with my wife and grown up daughter. Lovely Bagel with cream cheese and salmon, Sower dough Baguette with ham off the bone and cheddar cheese and a salmon pannini and cream cheese with the salmon added carefully...

Very good coffee. Milkshakes mediocre. Indoor seating is definitely not inspiring, and only 2 tables outside. Food served to the other table looked delicious.

Had some time to spare before an appointment and really wanted to sit down have a coffee & snack. Found the Cwtch Cafe, delightful young ladies behind the counter Coffee was great (not bitter) and the Salmon&cream cheese bagel together with an awesome salad was...

Great lunch, however the service was a little challenging. We arrived at 1.30pm on a Saturday, seated and given menus and there were other people eating food, we ordered drinks but when we tried to order food ourselves we were told the person that cooks had gone out. At which point the drinks were being made so we felt obliged to stay. The person cooking then returned around 15 minutes later and we waited a further 25-30 minutes for some toasties. When they arrived the food was lovely, so no complaints there. The person cooking also seemed to be the person who owns the business and to be honest, it seemed the chaotic service was more due to the overall running of the cafe rather than the staff waiting the table. Ordered two Gelato’s as we left and they were great. Perhaps we were just unfortunate with the time we arrived but we felt it was a fairly normal time to arrive at a cafe for some lunch.

I had an exceptional experience at The Cwtch Cafe! The service was wonderful, and the coffee was fabulous. The fresh salmon and avocado on a bagel with poached egg and king prawns, topped with a delicious herb dressing, was an absolute delight. The cafe's cozy...

Lovely outdoor seating on the highstreet in the sun! The service was unlike anything else I’ve experienced and the lady who runs the cafe has impeccable barista experience, possibly the best iced coffee I’ve tasted. Her experience as a barista comes from training in Italy...

Stopped by today for an ice cream for my little one and a cup of tea and a lovely slice of cake. It was absolutely delicious even my little shared it. Service is always amazing thank you 😊

Phenomenal Food. Smoked Salmon Bagel brimming! The side salads were delicious and crafted with such care! Would definitely come again!

Very cool cafe. Friendly staff, delicious food

Absolutely lovely cafe, with lovely food & staff to match. I have been here a few times and the food is always made fresh and presented beautifully. 10/10 would recommend

Stopped by for a late lunch. I was able to build my own toastie from the ingredients list and it was freshly made for me, and served with a brilliant set of sides, including coronation chicken, cole slaw and avocado. Very filling. Excellent service and...

It’s ok, but ouch the prices are hefty for what you get. The most expensive coffee I have come across anywhere.

Lovely pop up cafe with friendly staff, lovely seating area, food is great bubble tea is served here to.

Had a lovely lunch. All food is homemade and freshly prepared. The stone baked baguette was amazing along with homemade cake. The menu does not do the food justice so when it arrived was very pleasantly surprised. Will definitely return. Don't be put off by the pricey looking menu. You get what you pay for!

Beautiful, cozy little cafè. Friendly and welcoming staff and delicious dessert and coffee. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend to anyone.

Came across this cafe by chance when meeting a friend for coffee. The lady showed us to a really cosy space to sit. Very friendly staff. Vast and delicious selection of cakes. Will definitely visit again.

This place is a great little tucked away cafe that’s very cosy. We had salmon and cream cheese bagels that were absolutely phenomenal. We also had tea and cake which was top notch. The staff were extremely friendly and we had a lovely chat with...

Came for a visit and really wanted to find a good coffee shop and maybe something to eat. A lovely local brought me here and it did not dissapoint! All of the staff are genuinely friendly and the owner was warm and welcoming. I had...

A lovely cafe with super friendly staff, food and drinks were really nice and very reasonably priced. Would deffo recommend for a stop while walking the town.

A Fabulous Little Cafe! The service was superb and the cake was honestly the nicest I’ve ever tasted Highly Recommend a visit to this little Gem of a cafe

This is an amazing small cafe, the service was first class and the cake was one of the best I have ever eaten. Don't miss it!!

First time going to the cwytch. And will go again. Bagel with salmon and cream cheese delicious. Freshly cooked from scratch. Made to feel very welcome. Recommended

Pleasant professional staff selling small bites and cakes, teas, coffees, smoothies etc. Has a nice outside seating area, would be lovely in the summer, also has a small seating area indoors which is lovely and warm in the colder months, definitely recommend going here

Met a friend here for lunch on the off-chance - what an amazing find! The food and service was amazing. Thank you so much. We'll definitely be back.

Light lunch with salad, very nice!

Good: Food , good quality and a reasonable selection on offer for a small business. Disappointing element: Although we were made aware that there would be a short wait ,45mins seemed rather lengthy for cake , a bagel and toasted sandwich!! Especially as it wasn’t...

What a lovely little cafe in Chepstow! Food was amazing (I had a muffin and my partner had the Oreo cake). We both had drinks - a latte and a smoothie. The service we received - we couldn’t ask for anything more! So cheerful and...

Popped here for Boba/bubble tea. My son was super happy!

Visited with our toddler and the staff were incredibly friendly. Food was great, delicious and everything served with lovely salads. Really generous portions, definitely set us up for a busy time running around the castle! Thank you

This is a lovely little cafe in Chepstow. The food was superb! I would highly recommend the cwtch for their lovely service and exceptional food

Someone as rude as this should not own a Cafe !! I believe her name is Marion. Arrived at 12 noon on 1st February 2023 for lunch. Still has not had the order taken 40 minutes later was told you'll have to wait in a...

What a lovely little place, so much better than the boring chains. It's unique and very friendly the staff are lovely and went out of their way to help. Nice fresh food, will comeback again.

We were in Chepstow recently and came across the Cwtch cafe. What wonderful find. Service second to none, great team (the owner was very friendly and entertaining & the waiting team were very attentive). The most amazing hot chocolate we have ever had (and we've...

We ordered a flat white and a mocha, along with 2 X breakfasts. Breakfast consisted of 1 poached egg, 1 piece of brown bread, 2.5 cherry tomatoes, and a small bit of avocado and it came to £22. The bit I didn't understand was that they brought our coffee out AFTER the breakfast, which was also cold. Long wait and disappointing food.

Visited here at 3.45 on a saturday and asked if i could please get a sandwich. Told no. I appreciate 3.45 is late for lunch but the place was open and i was happy to have a takeaway. Very disappointed with the lack of customer...

Visited Chepstow and looked for a place to eat. This little cafe was pleasantly different with its nice location and friendly reception. The food took a little longer to arrive but was freshly made and worth the wait. Thoroughly recommended.

Had lovely tea and cakes, lunch menu looked really good will have next time. Really friendly staff, looking forward to going back. Excellent.

Warm welcome, friendly and very helpful staff, comfortable cosy seating and delicious fresh food and coffee - just what we wanted! Highly recommended.

It was ok.. had bacon and brie baguettes with salad . With coffee...

Great little place that serves really good food and a great cuppa. Fantastic place to get warm from the cold

My wife & I visited Chepstow on a cold November day. We parked in the Welsh St Car Park & walked down the sloping path leading you towards the town centre. Just before you walk through the arch, the Cwtch Cafe is on your right...
