The Little Treat in Monmouthshire

Lovely cosy cafe with a great atmosphere. A little disappointed that they didn't have their full food menu available, but the the toasted sandwich was still delicious.

Great Welsh Rarebit, good coffee and lovely staff.

Lovely little place with amazing drinks and home made cakes the atmosphere is so cozy my new favourite coffee shop

Came here because of high rating on Trip Advisor. Was OK but could do better. Service was very, very slow. Cook needs to learn that Welsh Rarebit is not the same as cheese on toast!

Great little place. Best in town

First visit and it won't be our last. Tasty light lunch and well looked after. Easy recommend!

We've driven through Abergavenny many times before but never stopped. This time we decided to stop for lunch and came across The Little Treat. We absolutely loved it. A tiny cafe with a commensurately modest menu, but just what we were after. I had a New York bagel (pastrami, cheese, pickle, mustard, you know the sort) which was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of mustard and not overpowered as can often be the case. Wife had Welsh Rarebit which was was nicely presented on two halves of baguette and quite generously proportioned. Both meals had a small salad. The owner, Claire, was delightful and very friendly. Would highly recommend the place and would love to return in the future.

I had tuna melt toasties lovely presented with virgin oil pot, salad and some crisps tuna melt was large 😋

A fantastic gem of a coffee shop lovely staff and the blueberry/lemon cream sponge was WOW cant wait to go back

Great coffee and Guinness cake company fab too

Small but extremely welcoming. The food is first rate. Welsh Rarebit is to die for. Not be having it elsewhere, this sets the bar. Lovely staff too.

we called in here initially as the board outside said they served loose leaf tea (my husband is a big fan) and we were not disappointed. I have a medical condition which means I struggle to control my temperature at times and this was one of them. I asked for some ice cold water and this was duly delivered and then a jug of ice cold water when I still couldn't cool down. This might not seem much in the big scheme of things but you would be surprised how many cafe would not be so accommodating. Anyway we were going out for a meal later in the evening so decided to have a light lunch and just order a sandwich. No complaints from us but there sandwiches are huge and come with crisps and salad and very reasonably priced. My chicken and pesto sandwich was full to the brim with real thick cut chicken and lovely pesto. we had planned on dessert but were too full to order any so plan to gon back when we aren't dining out in the evening.

Lovely friendly Cafe nice food

A small little cafe we came across by accident. Had the welsh rarebit and tuna sandwich- both were delicious! Staff were lovely too!

Having been familiar and impressed with the Cosy Corner we decided to make the 30 mile trip to Abergavenny. On arrival we were met with apologies that the Little Bistro was closing early for training, when I explained we'd travelled specially, Taryn and staff made an immediate exception and re-opened especially for us, Wow, how lucky we were. The service and food that followed was as amazing as we remember from its origins at the Cosy Corner. Diolch yn fawr, Taryn and team. We'll definitely be back

Ordered an Americano with cream. Best I’ve ever had!

absolutely friendly staff and delicious milkshakes ...

Very welcoming, and delicious food

A very aptly named place, this is a little treat indeed! Beautiful cakes and a marvellous selection of drinks, served by the very friendly owner. We had the blueberry and white chocolate sponge with a side dish of homemade mascarpone - delicious! Are you Abergavenny? Then treat yourself and call in, you won't be disappointed.

Just called in for a quick lunch and we were delighted with what we found. A cosy little cafe with delicious homemade food and wonderful friendly hospitality. My husband had a Welsh rarebit which he said was perfect and I ordered a grilled sandwich which was equally good and both were served with fresh side salad. There was an array of homemade cakes on offer too and we shared a scrumptious piece of blueberry and white chocolate sponge. All in all a lovely lovely lunchtime experience - thank you!

What a fabulous little cafe. Inside and outside seating. Good coffee and the Welsh rarebit was very tasty. Diolch yn fawr Nadolig llawen

A cozy place with delicious hot chocolate and frothy cappuccinos

Really lovely little cafe. The waffles and ice cream breakfast were exceptional! Coffee excellent (sourced from local roaster). Really nice family owned and run coffee shop.....bonus is all the little deli treats you can pick up. We bought loads of chutneys, jams and fresh coffee for Christmas pressies! This is always a better option to the big coffeehouse chains.

Absolutely the little treat you long for! Simple dishes cooked perfectly, with quality ingredients, from the tasty focaccia pizza to delicious toasted sandwich. The waffles and desserts looked great. Lovely service from the lady there, presumably owner or manager at least. Great value too.

Fabulous! The absolute best coffee in Abergavenny. Double shots in every coffee is standard here and I was offered a choice of chocolate or cinnamon dusting on my cappuccino! Cinnamon as my choice as I am diabetic. So lovely to be give a choice. All the cakes are made by the owner and are absolutely gorgeous. Sadly I couldn't partake but my Husband can't stop raving about them😂! Don't miss it your mouth will never forgive you!

Possibly the best coffee I've ever had. Amazing flat white and really tasty raspberry sponge. Will be back.

Well worth stopping here, Great coffee and cake.. Other food available also

Real tea in a pot with diffuser and china cup & saucer, I had a toasted sandwich chicken mozarello & pesto what a brill combo, excellent service & good price will definately call again.

Knowing that my family and I would be in Abergavenny around lunchtime prior to a walk up Sugar Loaf, I took the rare step of being prepared by looking up a tea shop that served cream teas with clotted cream (any civilised person would of course faint into their jam at the sight of whipped!) and didn't close at 2pm (as if everyone's appetite sticks to a schedule). Meeting those requirements alone would have been enough to get a good review, but I was genuinely delighted by The Little Treat. From the moment we walked in, our every need was met. We thought we'd have trouble finding a table as the only one remaining was for 2 people (there were 4 of us), but the lovely gentleman behind the counter asked if we'd like that table and then immediately brought 2 extra chairs over and ensured that we were comfortably sat with menus - ordering was prompt and correct. His colleague delivered our food and, when it became clear that there would be a slight delay in my daughter's order, brought over complimentary drinks. The food was excellent - neither pretentious nor poor quality. Both our hosts were unfailingly polite, but sincerely so, and genuinely warm. The service alone was worthy of note - if all catering establishments were like this then the world would be a happier place - but the food left us all satisfied as well. I really look forward to next time we're in Abergavenny so we can visit again.

We originally planned to get some ice creams, however upon seeing the menu we decided to upgrade to milkshakes, and we did not regret the decision. Very friendly staff and highly recommended.

Stopped for ice cream during our day out but unfortunately, my partner was taken ill and collapsed. The owner of the cafe was amazing and called the emergency services straight away, gave my partner a wet towel for the swelling on her head and didn't rush us at all, going out of her way to help in any way she could. We had to have paramedics come and then we took her to the hospital and this cafe stood out as being a big help to us so thank you ❤ We will definitely be back! Hopefully to finish our ice cream this time! 🍦

We came across this little place whilst visiting Abergavenny and what a treat it was. The member of staff that served us was so lovely and helpful and our drinks and scones were delicious and beautifully presented. We had planned to visit one of a chain of well known coffee shops just down the road but were so glad that we went here instead. This was SO much better and a much more enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend it.

I get fed up with having to ask for extra hot coffee, with many establishments failing to grasp what this means, not these people, piping hot delivered with a smile and some very nice crumpets. Highly recommended

A lovely little spot, great home made cakes, I strongly recommend the rocky road. Nice spot for a little break.

For anyone visiting Abergavenny, I can't recommend this place enough. Stopped on our way home for 11sies coffee and cake. I snooped at the cakes in several independent cafes before stopping here and (as a very difficult to please customer) still can't believe our luck. All the cakes are made in house and they really are PROPER cakes. I have been after a real victoria sponge cake for weeks and found it here. Delicious and a proper wedge slice. My husband had a malted hot chocolate and I had an oat cappuccino, both very good. No extra charge for the oat milk which is a real win for me. To top it off, such brilliant and friendly service in a family owned cafe. We were made to feel so welcome. Would urge everyone to visit. Already decided on a trip to Wales just so we can come back. Really want to try the guiness cake. The toasties also looked great!

Friendly and helpful staff..great little place and comfy. Great tasting cakes... really worth a visit and having a little treat or two.

Gorgeous little local cafe, good prices, excellent coffee , v friendly staff, recommended for a visit

This tiny and quaint cafe is just perfect. We visited and were greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcome and not rushed in our visit. The coffee smelt divine and deluxe hot chocolate was perfect especially with an additional jug of hot chocolate on the side! We choose the Welsh Rarebit which was very tasty. The tomato chutney and crunchy sourdough were perfect. Luckily we just had enough room to enjoy the homemade cake. The Guiness cake and caramel and pecan were so scrummy just wish we had room for a Nutella brownie as well. If you are visiting I would 100% recommend trying this delightful cafe, we will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Fabulous place! Stopped for a bite to eat, and went away absolutely satisfied!!! Thanks a lot.

Excellent service and food!We had a tuna and cheese melt to share which came with dressed side salad and crisps with additional salad dressing, cooked fresh.We had a tea and flat white (x2 they were so good). A Guinness cake and avocado and courgette cake, both very good.

We always drop in here when we come over to visit family just outside Aber. Small cafe but some of the tastiest coffee and cake around. Lovely, friendly staff make it a memorable libation every time.

Lovely stop in this little tea shop. Very friendly service. The cappuccino was delicious as was the homemade scone with jam n cream. Also decorated with blueberries and fresh strawberries. This waa really delicious!! Will be a local lil regular for me now I am working in Powys. Thank you!

We called in to warm up after some Christmas shopping and had the most delicious curry and carrot soup with soda bread. Great value for money and a friendly atmosphere

We have searched the country far and wide for a decent coffee and we’ve found it! By far the best coffee we have had whilst visiting the UK. Cute & cosy little cafe with plenty of food options if you are after a small meal.

The coffee and service is absolutely tip top at this cute little shop. A warm welcome from all staff (and fellow customers)guaranteed! Today I treated myself to a scone with jam and cream. Fresh, warm and soooo yummy!!

Lovely food and friendly and welcoming staff. Would highly recommend!

Abergavenny has more coffee shops/tea rooms/eateries per square inch than probably anywhere in the country. The competition is therefore fierce. This is a pleasant eaterie handily placed in the centre of Abergavenny. We ordered various items and I did think £2.50 for a modest slice of cake seemed extortionate but to be honest I don’t normally have cake in shops as I’m on a perpetual diet so £2.50 maybe the going rate. Still it seemed a lot. The service was pleasant enough to start ( when they were in selling mode, more of that later ) This is a small shop which quickly feels very cosy if there are 3 couples eating at the front. For space there are far better options in town, especially if there are more than 2 of you. So all ok so far, nothing spectacular but ok. Weirdly the coffee shop offered NO toilet facilities and I’m not aware of any other shop in town NOT offering these facilities so massively inconvenient if you need the rest room. On that score alone and if you are with kids I’d give this place a swerve. Far better and accommodating options in town, all of them have toilets and this is a serious miss. That said my son was desperate for the loo and in fairness the lady was accommodating to let us use the staff facilities out the back and after clearing a number of boxes my son and I squeezed our way into this non customer facing facility. I’m 6.1 ft and on chasing my son who was desperate for the loo and climbing 2 steps to the back of the shop I was nearly knocked unconscious as my head collided with a Low lying fixture note NO Warning Hazard. I had a sense of humour failure but said nothing at the time. Yes, there were some mind the step warnings but the issue wasn’t steps ,nothing obvious about head hazards. It may be that the clientele who mostly seemed to be older ladies in couples have nothing to fear but the failure to place a warning at head height , obvious and visible eg Mind your head or something similar makes this place dangerous for tallish men.The gentle bonhomie of those selling the overpriced cake immediately evaporated when I went to settle the bill. It’s always tricky when asked the standard ‘how was it?’ Question always seemingly asked at the paying stage. I asked if they wanted the honest answer or the vague ‘it was nice’ in order to avoid any dispute. I preferred the latter especially as I had my son with me. I was invited to be honest and as I run several businesses I always think that feedback helps the business improve. I explained about my head, the lack of mind the head warnings. Then the true colours of the owners came to the fore. No apology was offered, no asking about my head or the accident caused by their negligence just an invitation to leave and not return. I’ll be glad not to and as a result I would warn others with kids, anyone over 5.9 and who might need the loo to give this pls e a swerve. So many better options in Abergavenny

I've been there a couple of times with two young kids. Really impressed. Staff are really attentive and friendly. My six year old was given a free replacement gelato today after she dropped hers on the floor! Can't vouch for the espresso yet as I haven't had one but the iced coffees are excellent. Had a very nice and reasonably priced sandwich. Easily beats Costa and Cafe Nero.

Amazing cakes, friendly staff and great coffee. Will definitely be going again if I go back.

On a recent visit to Abergavenny whilst touring Wales from New Zealand, we happened upon this little cafe in the main high street of Abergavenny. The young couple running the establishment were warm and welcoming and the tea and cakes were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and the young couple even tried to help us with road directions to our next destination. A really delightful little cafe, great atmosphere and a great young couple running the establishment. A definate 10/10 :-).

Wonderful wee cafe ... Nice and friendly and decently priced too

This was a great pit stop for coffee and ice cream. The chap who served us took time with our daughter and made her feel like a valued customer. The coffee, tea, ice cream and scone were all very tasty.

Hazelnut Hot Chocolate is all Im Saying 🥰🥰👌🏻👌🏻

Good coffee, good service, lovely staff

We stopped here on a hot day for a milkshake. The staff were very pleasant and the milkshake, made with their ice cream, was fantastic; think and very refreshing. Well worth a visit.

The tea was too strong for me and the scones were quite dry. They were also served with strawberries that were frozen.

I can not say how good this place is!!!

Amazing service and some of the best gelato I've ever had.

Stopped here for afternoon tea. A very pleasing experience with friendly and helpful staff. Delicious cakes on offer and simple lunch options.

Super Staff super jedzenie polecam

Amazing little coffee shop. I decided to opt for the tuna mayo melt and my son has the salted caramel waffle and ice cream. Safe to say there were clean plates all round. Very friendly and welcoming staff

It is small and seems very popular with local and visitors alike, unsurprisingly. Staff are excellent, service really good and the coffee excellent. Highly recommended.

A family run small cafe with coffee and cake to die for. So different from the large chain.

A lovely little place, we had some delicious food - soup, a toasted sandwich and cake plus a flat white and a tea. All were perfect, in a neat and clean place with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Wonderful little cafe, quick and friendly service, very accomodating. Beautiful food

Friendly staff, good range of food and very tasty. Can get quite cosy when busy as small place. Cash only but there is a cash machine 2 doors down.

Stopped in with friends after a hike today, and despite arriving ten minutes before closing the friendly and accommodating staff were happy to make us some food. Our sandwiches were fresh and tasted great, the bread they use is crunchy, rustic and fresh. We really enjoyed our visit to this cosy cafe.

Tiny but serves a great coffee and focaccio style pizza. No dogs inside. Local apple juice is also good.

Such a lovely cafe. The people who run it are so so nice. We had the best New York bagel, a focaccia pizza, then gelato with sauce with a lovely coffee. What we couldn’t eat, our pizza was put in a box to take home. Attention to detail was incredible and lovely natured service. Also excellent value. Please go here and try it for yourself!

What a great evening the pudding night was at the Little Treat. Delicious food and amazing company..cant wait for next time

Stunningly good coffee and Guinness Cake is amazing 😀😀

Delicious rarebit, friendly staff, lovely place!

Lovely coffee and cake, very reasonably priced. Good, friendly service.

Best coffee in Abergavenny. Do have a treat too!

What a gem this place is! Just stopped by on our way through and picked up some food to go. Very reasonable prices and generous portions. Lovely staff too.

Stopped here late in the day and was recommended by the friendly owners the home made leek and potato soup which was hot, filling and delicious. Along with decent coffee makes the Little Treat an excellent place to stop for lunch

Lovely little cafe. Very friendly staff. In great need of the loo. 😋. They kindly showed us where the staff toilet is. They are in the process of installing a customer toilet. 👍👍👏👏

Aside from the delicious coffee, loose leaf tea, icecream, scones and cakes what sets this place apart is the superlative service. The owners couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating of our crazy family, we visited twice during our holiday. Visit: you won't regret it.

The is a tiny cafe with a big heart. The owners are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We ate the best grilled sandwiches that we have ever had. Their bread is specially made by a Puglian baker and it is fabulous. The cakes are delectable, the Guineas cake is superb. They are serious about brewing good coffee. We just wish they would open a cafe where we live. We will be back!

We drove through on our way to Breacon. The owners are lovely people. The level of service both for us and every customer we saw was outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. We had gelato and coffee, both of which were fantastic. This place alone is worth the trip to Abergavenny. Cash only - although they were willing to serve us and sort it out after we had eaten - there’s a cash point two doors down so not too much trouble. Overall a lovely experience - can’t recommend highly enough!

Great coffee shop, they really do care about their coffee best in the area. Food is great too, friendly atmosphere.

We were looking for a cafe on a Sunday for a light lunch and nearly walked passed this little gem of a cafe. It's compact and bijoux but warm and cosy on a rainy day. The staff are very friendly and the food was lovely.

I've been there a couple of times with two young kids. Really impressed. Staff are really attentive and friendly. My six year old was given a free replacement gelato today after she dropped hers on the floor! Can't vouch for the expresso yet as I haven't had one but the iced coffees are excellent. Had a very nice and reasonably priced sandwich. Easily beats Costa and Cafe Nero.

This is my assessment on Doug and Jan’s Cream Tea Guide on Facebook

Wonderful atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Food excellent. Their gelato is fantastic.

These guys were chatty and engaging, treating the kids to tasters of gelato prior to choice. Provided tourist advice too! I want to take the whole shop home with me! The kids want to go back every day, and I wish we could! Try the elderflower and mint sorbet gelato. Stunning!

Beautifully presented food, especially the tea service, and wonderful friendly staff. A real pleasure to sit outside in the shade.

We called in, as we were desperate for a coffee. We tried going to visit our favourite in Nicholls but could not get a table and called in to The Little Treat as luckily for us they had room.

We had a snack lunch here and were pleasantly surprised. Although small the staff managed well and the food was wholesome and excellent and reasonably priced. They don’t have a toilet for clients but do allow use if a staff toilet. You have to walk through the kitchen to get to it

Without doubt my favourite café. It has a lovely atmosphere, very good food, fantastic gelato and the best coffee in town.

We had lunch here whilst passing through Abergavenny. It’s a new car little cafe and the staff were nice, but it was one mistake after another. We’ll but that down to the unprecedented heat we were experiencing.

Stopped here and had a lovely cream tea. The scones were home made and fresh strawberries were added - nice touch. Very small place and full - deserves to be too! Recommend this place for good service and value.

Gorgeous little cafe. Friendly staff good prices

Have visited several times over past few years. Food coffees and atmosphere are superb!! Well worth a trip to enjoy :-)

Popped in for coffee whilst on holiday...best ever. Decided to call back later for lunch. Delicious homemade Leek and Potato soup with sourdough bread. Highly recommended for a totally relaxing and friendly atmosphere. As the owner says “a good coffee is worth waiting for”. Will definitely be popping in again whilst in the area.

Popped in at the end of the day for a 'high tea'. Had absolutely delicious salted caramel gelato coffee. And gorgeous focaccia pizza. And Welsh rarebit. Top notch and incredibly reasonable price. Very friendly owners. Cosy seating and outside tables for warm weather. My first choice in Abergavenny every time whether for breakfast, lunch, tea, or coffee.

Saw the good reviews on here so made straight for The Little Treat for lunch, excellent grilled sandwiches and fantastic pistachio and rose cake washed down with some excellent coffee from The Welsh Coffee Company.

Lovely place! A proper little tea room with a fab manu and desserts

Popped in for a spot of lunch with my daughter and a cup of delicious coffee. I chose The Italian - a scrummy toasted sandwich with Italian bread crammed full of pastrami, salami, ham, cheese, pickle and tangy chutney. Served with a small salad and crisps it was absolutely delicious! My daughter had a toasted chicken and pesto sandwich which was soon consumed! We were so full and satisfied it lasted us all day! This informal coffee shop really is a big treat - well done to owners Darren and Clare who have brought a taste of the Continent to our town. The gelato there is also to die for!

After visiting my mother in hospital in Abergavenny, my friend and I needed some sustainance. Not knowing any coffee shops in the town, we plumped for this welcoming looking little place in preference to a High St chain. A lovely, welcoming greeting from the owner who settled us straight away next to the counter where we ogled the gelato! On a bitterly cold day, we both decided to have soup. This was a really rich, roasted Tomato and Chorizo soup served with delicious sourdough bread and butter. A very friendly ambience in a fresh looking place.....I really look forward to my next visit.
