The Old Electric Shop in Powys

Such a lovely experience in this shop. Such an interesting mish mash of styles. So much to see. Always spend a fortune. Really worth a visit.

We waited for 45 minutes for 3 plates of food. In that time, one table was served (smashed avocado on toast) and every other table was waiting for food. Some people left. When the food arrived it was ok but nothing great, and definitely overpriced. The cafe and shop have a great vibe but are let down by slow service and uninspiring food. Shame.

This place used to be excellent for lunch, sadly no more. The menu is nowhere near as good as it was. It was always colourful, well presented and delicious. A few days ago I chose tacos, which arrived poorly thrown together and stone cold. I could have done a far better job myself. Such a shame. This is the second time I’ve eaten here in the last month and both times were the same. Needs urgent improvement.

An interesting shop, with some much variety on offer from candles to metal letter stencils and a cafe to boot. Noticeably quieter than the coffee shop over the road but we noted it didn't do soft drinks so passed on the drink option. It deserves a browse if nothing else.

The place has an interesting vibe but it is all facade. The menu for lunch was extremely limited and I was served a small bowl of lukewarm curry. It was flavoursome but lacked texture and for £14 was ridiculously expensive compared to much better vegetarian restaurants in Bath and Chester I have visited recently. A 330ml bottle of local craft ale was £6. Strangely I was asked for a gratuity before the meal was served.....I can see why! Vegetarian food doesn't need to be like this

We popped into this place after a walk along the river, to have a slice of cake and a coffee - or in my case, a fantastic hot chocolate. The cakes were wonderful too. Friends who had had lunch there earlier that day later told us it was excellent. It's a quirky combination of shop and cafe and we really liked it.

Just had coffee and cakes here, but nice to see so much vegan and vegetarian choice. The selection of things on sale in the shop is definitely unusual!

Saturday afternoon. Absolutely packed. Pouring down with rain so lots of people piling in but they still managed to sort a birthday cake with very little notice, were very efficient and insisted on helping sing happy birthday and all with a lovely smile and grace. Really made our day. Thank you very much. Super interesting shop as well. Just a lovely vibe plus they used locally made sour dough bread 😋

I’m vegetarian and gluten-free and struggle to find any place that serves anything descent. I usually end up with a jacket potato. This place however had several dishes I could choose from. All our meals were hot and very tasteful. Staff were helpful and friendly. The place was clean and tidy. The shop section was very interesting to walk around. Well worth popping in if vegetarian and vegan or for healthy food choices.

Great and wholesome food in this shop/cafe light lunch and quick bites catered for, with global flavours. Gorgeous tamarind laksa with a perfect poached egg Recommended

Lovely friendly staff, go out of their way to accommodate. Lovely food and coffee too in a beautiful setting. Top marks x

A trip to the Old Electric Shop was planned into our day book hunting at Hay on Wye. Unfortunately it wasn't as hoped. The shop itself is mildly interesting but trying too hard to be edgy, in the same way those achingly unpleasant little shops of horror found in and around Hoxton/ Clerkenwell or Spitalfields in the 1990's used to. The menu doesn't offer much but we decided to kick off with a hot chocolate, at £3.50 a cup I hoped for something hot, it wasn't. Next up breakfast and to avoid further disappointment we ordered one to share (Buckwheat pancakes with berries and Maple Syrup), again not very warm, the pancakes were stodgy, tasteless and smelled like TCP, the lack of fruit made the whole thing a bit of a con at £7.No Maple syrup was detected. Had either of the two orders been reasonable, warm or tasty we would have stayed for lunch, instead we headed to the excellent Oscars for fish and chips in a warm environment with less 'cool' staff. 3/10

This is a friendly quirky place to eat and shop. The cooked food is great. I have been here twice, the cakes seem to dry out maybe as they are in a refrigerated display, not sure. Love the coffee. My go to place when in Hay. Food I think is veggie / vegan, my “tarian” is flexi, so yes eat meat and find the meat free food here great, tasty and filling.

A late Xmas gift from my friend to have a trip out and lunch out in Hay. We chose it after her daughters ate there on Monday and loved it. The food was delicious...hard to decide what to have, so had 3 options each, and a chai latte. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and would most definitely recommend for all reasons on title. Tables spaced and masks worn by staff. I hope to go back some day when in the area.

Purchased a shirt for my son in December as a Christmas present and I asked specifically if I could return it in case it didn’t fit . We went back to Hay ( an hour round trip from home) to return the shirt that my son couldn’t wear as it was too small . The shop assistant at the Old Electric Shop said she asked the manager who eventually came and told me that I was not entitled to any refund or credit note from the shop as they were not responsible for the shirt that was sold in their shop by an independent retailer . She also that the item was 2nd hand and not suitable for return . In my mind items sold in a shop are this shop responsibility to deal with if found unsuitable to the buyer . The manager of The Old Electric Shop was unpleasant and unhelpful. We definitely won’t be returning .

Excellent gluten-free vegan food that is prepared and served by young enthusiastic staff in a quirky shop/cafe at very sensible prices.

As the usual place for a short coffee break was full (due to the Hay Festival) we happened upon the Old Electric Shop. We were in for a delightful surprise: Not only does the place offer an eclectic mix of handmade home goods, Christmas decorations,...

Fabulous vegetarian and vegan food in relaxed dog friendly cafe with eclectic mix of decor. Quality wholesome food and quality coffee at reasonable prices!

Good vibes in this cafe. Quirky and fun interiors. ‘Hot’ drinks came in small glasses with no handles, so the drinks are more like luke warm. Expensive slices of cakes and dry dry dry. Expecting to pay London prices in Hay, but the quality has...

I love this place. It has great coffee and there are delicious vegan options. They have a great selection of books and lots of other interesting things for sale. The staff are super friendly and the place has a lovely atmosphere.

Interesting shop and great coffee. Will likely visit again! Typing more due to character limit…………..

I love the old electric. I’ve been going there for years. The staff are easy to get on with, friendly and they understand me well as a regular. The food – to a meat eater with other choices in town, and with it all being...

Delicious lunch - not a problem ordering both gluten free and vegetarian food! Great to be able to have a wander around the shop after lunch too.

Underwhelming. The environment is lovely, beautiful decor and interesting shop with a nice menu. However the staff are quite unapproachable and uncaring. They got our order wrong and then came back to charge us for the extra cake we had to reorder. Not much kindness...

Very good vegetarian breakfast with plenty of choice in quirky surroundings I would recommend the breakfast with roasted heritage tomatoes, feta and avocado. Very friendly helpful staff.

The coffee we waited for for l0 minutes was totally undrinkable - it was like the water from the coffee machine that was used to clean it. The glasses that it came in were dirty. The area was unclean where we sat also. We had...

An unusual shop/cafe selling an eclectic selection of goods with a small cafe. V good coffee, limited cakes but v tasty, service v v slow but it goes with the unusualness of the shop.

Have been a regular here for a number of years and the food has always been impressive, tasty..etc, but I agree with Madley below.. Vegan wrap was less than impressive, more salad than anything else and the price was taking the p***.. buck your ideas...

I know we are all trying to survive in these odd times but charging £12 for a halloumi, mushroom and pine nut wrap with salad is excessive. Yes it tasted very nice but £12 for a take-out???

We had a lovely coffee and cake here on our visit. The staff were friendly and it was lovely to see people doing normal things like sitting together for coffee inside and outside. The shop sells some really nice things too.

The first thing I must say about our experience here is how friendly and accomodating the staff were. Despite being jam packed they managed to find a wonderful little table for us.For food I ordered the Sri Lankan Curry. Both my girlfriend and I have spent significant time in Sri Lanka and we were both amazed with how perfectly they recreated the wonderful and unique tastes we remember so fondly from out time their. I haven't tasted such authentic Sri Lankan Food since being in the country itself.My girlfriend ordered the Shakshouka and described it as absolutely delicious and perfectly spiced. The biggest compliment I could give this dish (having tried it myself) was overhearing the couple on the table next to us explain to one of the waitresses that she is from Israel, the home of Shakshouka, and that it was, in her words: 'perfect'.In conclusion, were going back again tomorrow.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great menu and beautifully prepared food with real home-cooked character.Very interesting and delicious GF options at both the savoury and sweet ends of the spectrum.Interesting shop too to help make the whole experience very positive and memorable. A trip to Hay isn't complete without a visit to The Old Electric Shop!

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat in Hay when we 'stumbled' upon this gem. It is far larger than it looks from the street and is packed with all manner of interesting things to buy, thought provoking books and serves tasty vegetarian food. A definite must if you're in Hay.

Bean Quesadilla and Pancakes with goats cheese and honey, both delicious. Limited cafe seating due to Covid restrictions but the pavement tables were great in the sunshine. The shop Is an eclectic treasure trove including gifts with some excellent books.

Me and my partner stopped for lunch here and it was seriously some of the best veggie food we've had. I had their mushroom burger with blue cheese and my partner had the curry dahl with rotti. Was excellent!

Really delicious cauliflower dhal and bean quesadillas enjoyed in a sunny spot on the pavement. Very friendly staff who let us order from the brunch menu even though we were 10 mins late and brought everything out very efficiently, even lending us a tea towel as a makeshift bib as we’d forgotten my son’s. Only reason for dropping one star is the flat white was a bit heavy on the milk, would give it 4.5 if I could!

We stopped in to the Old Electric Shop for a browse and a quick cup of takeaway coffee. After a dismissive response when we checked that we were queuing in the right place, given the currently Covid circumstances, we ordered our coffees and were told to wait for them outside. Nearly 15 minutes later, after waiting where we were told, we decided to go back in to ask after our coffees. It turned out that our coffees were sitting on a table inside, and the member of staff was rude to us, suggesting that it was our fault that we’d missed them. Given that there are 3 tables outside, and we were sat at one of them, right next to the front door, it’s hard to imagine how we would have missed her “giving us a shout” or anyone trying to find us as suggested. More importantly, her attitude was rude and unhelpful. All in all, a frustrating experience and we won’t be returning.

Wanted to buy the whole shop! Beautiful treasure to be had, really thoughtfully selected items including from local makers. Very helpful staff and delicious cake! Can't wait to return to buy more beautiful items ☺️

Prompt friendly service. Good vegetarian food that everyone enjoyed. Interesting shop with a variety of books, clothes and soaps. We didn't want to leave!

Great food interesting independent shop if you are looking for something a bit different. You don't have to eat or have a coffee it's just a great shop to browse in.The staff are a bit disengaged I feel but they are certainly not rude and that hasn't put me off from going there many time and taking friends many times.

We were looking forward to an enjoyable breakfast but instead were greeted with unfriendly, rude and blunt staff. We asked about vegan breakfast options as there were vegan lunch options and were made to feel like we were a burden on the cook. We waited a long time for very mediocre overpriced food including overcooked poached eggs!

Lovely shop annex restaurant. Great for a bite and a coffee and simply for browsing in the shop itself. Friendly staff.

A friend and I agreed to meet here for coffee (which I hear is very good). It was pretty busy so we hung around looking for a free table. No acknowledgement or greeting from staff, we were just made to feel as though we were in the way. We left in the end after feeling pretty unwelcome. Two less customers!!

We called into the shop during our visit to Hay with friends and loved it. A great place to visit to browse and buy and sit and chat with friends whilst enjoying a very good coffee brew.

What a lovely gem of a place. Bought some lovely unusual items and could have spent more if budget allowed. Great cafe/sitting area- a gem in the heart of hay for sure. A must see for all visitors.

Ah so very disappointed, Visited this cafe before and loved it, Unfortunately on returning and bringing family we loved it that much, Just wasnt the same the menu has changed and unfortunately not for the better,The lady in cafe sat on a stool staring at us, not much interaction or welcoming feeling at all, I asked her if they still did spinach pancakes which were so lovely, Her response a flat no only whats on the board, We left and went to sheppards cafe and icecream shop, So glad we did fabulous welcome by the staff, couldnt do enough for us, Portabello mushroom sandwiches amazing! Will definitely be going back there,

Lovely ambience and good variety of drinks on offer Lovely stuff to look at and perhaps but Worth a visit as a really different experience in Hay

we went for the day to Hay amidst a throng of tourists and despite the fact they were very busy, they were hugely sympathetic about my allergies and provided me with a delicious buddha bowl of glorious delights that were as tasty as they were colourful. i enjoyed every scrap. my husband just wanted toast and that was no trouble and a lovely stack of sourdough toast butter and jam was offered .thank you lovely ladies for your kindness Ruth xx

Stopped off here for a delicious Cappucino and some Chocolate Guinness cake. Lovely little Coffee Shop/Shop. Very interesting and Different Menu,lots of delicious dishes available. Quirky Books,Cool Clothes,Ornaments etc. Highly recommended.

Had lovely avocado and poached egg on bread for lunch. Good strong coffee and excellent cakes. Calm atmosphere, we sat a while. Would return if we were around again!

A wonderful place, lots of things to look at and everything is for sale, second hand, antique items plus lovely modern household items, cards, books, clothing and a fab cafe. Don’t miss it.

Good food, coffee served with a warm welcome including our dog. The place was fantastic to wonder, finding something to buy on all three visits. A great place for coffee or just pop in and be amazed by the goods on offer.

Cool cafe in the centre of Hay. Good choice of teas and coffees, eclectic seating and lots of items to browse and buy. Great cakes and friendly service.

Well. This place has atmosphere and Hay-ness in Spades! Quirky stuff to buy, books to browse and excellent food to eat. I'd got down to the bottom of the menu, salivating along the way and making "mmm" noises before I even realised there was nothing on there that contained meat!

We stopped in for coffee on a bright, warm morning and decided to come back for a quick lunch too. This intriguing shop/café combination near Hay town centre is packed with interesting vintage items for sale, including most of the furniture which guests sit on to eat and drink! The coffee and cakes are excellent, and the service is casual and friendly: welcome in a town which can sometimes be a little overfussy.

Eclectic shop and worth browsing, more so as it’s not a book shop! The coffee was superb and the best we had in Hay, served by friendly staff and an excellent soundtrack too. Recommended

Fab hot chocolate and good coffee. Went for a drink but menu and food looked delicious. Very relaxed service so don’t go if your in a hurry. All sorts in the shop - wacky, retro and original!

Slightly strange environment to eat in the midst of the shop but amazing food . We enjoyed Turkish eggs and a mix of the platters. Good coffee and tasty pistachio and rhubarb cake. A fairly pricy option but we found the food to be well worth it and will be back .

A very cool and quirky cafe, with excellent vegan food. The portions were big and filling and the cake selection plentiful. They also sell one off pieces of furniture, pottery etc.

A very quicky cafe with back rooms of small shops. Dropped in twice overthe past weekend. Thank you . Great Coffee ! Doug

An eclectic mix of shop and cafe. Selling a mixture of local and non local produced goods from dresses to string bags. Its an interesting place to while a way an hour or so. We had brunch in the cafe. Poached eggs on sourdough with a lovely salad. Coffee was delicious. Staff all seemed friendly and the locals were lovely too. Well worth a visit if you are in Hay, sets you up for a tour of the fabulous book shops.

I wanted to buy everything in this shop! We went in for coffee (with the digs-it's dog friendly). There is a lovely steam punky atmosphere and unique drink and cake offerings-I had a coconut milk flat white and my husband had lemonade with mint.

I just love this place and come here regularly to meet with friends for a coffee or one of the delicious lunches. The staff is always super friendly and great at catering for my various food sensitivities, so I never need to feel awkward about asking for adjustments. The menu always offers so many really healthy and gluten-free / low carb options, that often I can just eat things without asking for changes, which rarely happens anywhere else, so this is a huge bonus for me. Also love their selection of loose leave teas - the best wide and far! And the gf cakes are amazing, too! When it's busy it's nice to just have a stroll through the shop and spot what's in new, while waiting for a table. I've bought a vintage leather belt here before, beautiful postcards, gorgeous ceramics, books, and my partner quite often finds something he likes, too.

A bunch of entitled middle aged females running a business as a hobby. If you don't look as if you belong you WILL be ignored.

I come in here all the time! The atmosphere is such beautiful, very welcoming, happy, enthusiastic staff with big smiles! The food is beautiful, everything apart from two items I believe could be made vegan and gluten free and don’t get me started on the range of delicious cakes they make in store! VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE!!! Whaaaaat! I was in heaven! Highly recommend

Came to eat here as recommended on trip advisor and by one of the shop owners in town. Menu looked great- we are both vegetarians and loved the creativity and fact it said meals could be altered to suit individual needs. However, the atmosphere made me dither about staying - there was no welcome and the whole place just didn’t seem welcoming- wish I’d listened to my instinct . It was freezing outside ( coldest day of winter so far) and our drinks arrived luke warm - that was after the girl on the till struggled to even know what I was asking her for - seems that oat milk - even when on the menu is difficult to grasp and to add insult to unjury the woman helping her repeated what I’d asked for but in a southern accent rather than my Durham accent which- whilst she was kind enough to add in the other types of milk too - so as imply the girls problem not mine- there was also no apology from her or the girl. Cappuccino presented in a school water glass- really? Which adults want to drink a cappuccino that way ? Meals arrived and looked amazing however mine was missing two vital elements - sourdough bread (which is the only bread I can tolerate and one of the reasons I’d ordered that meal) had been replaced by a ciabatta and the poached egg. When I brought this up with the girl serving she just shock her head and said “oh really!” No offer to change anything or apology. Plates the meals arrived on were cold and as a consequence our food was again luke warm. Between my cool, drink, cool meal and the ice cool atmosphere I just wanted to get up and walk out. The staff were the least friendly staff we’ve ever come across - no interaction not even a hello or a goodbye . No one even came from the kitchen to apologise about my meal either. There seem to be better places to visit in Hay , trust your instinct and have a look around at those before trusting the other reviews on here.

Enough said in the title - food was OK but to say that the staff were rude is an understatement! Unwelcoming and no atmosphere

This is honestly my favourite place to go for lunch. I get to have vegan gluten free food without hassle, and I usually have something that I don't quite know what I'll be getting, something different. I've had vegan ceasar salad, mushrooms with white bean paste on toast, and this time parsnip fritters. As usual it was excellent. I love the quirkiness of the place too, and the vintage clothes rails and ethnic rugs and so on. I bought a rug for my living room which I'd been wanting for months :)

Teas were loose and the hot chocolate was real high % stuff, and the cakes were homemade and scrumptious! For shopping there’s a bit of everything. Handmade local bits and pieces as well as 2nd hand goodies! A great shop to get lost in for a bit!

Visited here for coffee and cake a couple of times. Excellent for both. Surroundings very quirky and interesting. A must visit place if you are in Hay.

There are plenty of good cafes in Hay, but this one stands out as it is a cafe come nick nack shop selling an eclectic variety of goods. The tables and chairs for food and drink are randomly scattered throughout the shop in books and crannies and the whole effect is warm and friendly. The premises is dog and child friendly and the coffee and tea excellent. Well worth a visit.

We visited Hay-On-Wye during our October half term. We found this coffee shop, which is quirky and interesting. The coffee shop occupies a part of the actual shop, which sells all sorts of lovely books, clothing and crafts/gifts. The coffee was good and whilst we were there, we had a look at the menu and decided to come back for lunch. The young man who served us was very polite. Vegetarians and vegans would be well catered for. The lunch we had was butternut squash with feta and onion on sour dough bread - it was well presented and absolutely lovely. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

We visited here based on the strength of reviews and wanting somewhere vegetarian to eat. The menu is relatively small but well balanced and we both found food we wanted. The food came quite quickly and was absolutely delicious. I had ramen noodles in a beautiful light broth. My mum who I was with had some sort of butternut squash and feta on toast type thing. Between us we also had houmous and crudités. The houmous was beautiful and I’d recommend it! Only slight disappointment was we didn’t rate the coffee so maybe go for a cold drink! This place is well worth a visit and we really enjoyed looking round the shop there too after we’d eaten.

This cafe is located inside an unusual shop selling various vintage and collectable items.

I have now been seven times to The Old Electric and it has always been delicious and fun. Good vegan choices. The carrot cake, the donuts, the muffins are the best in Hay. The luch time snacks are a good size and very fresh

Seriously interesting place to have a light lunch or a tea or coffee. Full of retro stuff that can be looked at while you eat everything is for sale. Don’t miss this curiosity shop / cafe it definitely worth a visit

Another cafe in the town recommended this place as they couldn't cater for wheat free. We hadn't realised it was a cafe, as from the outside just looked like a shop only.

The sandwiches hit the spot - quality ingredients put together in delicious combinations. We had the aubergine pepper and the hummus date sandwich. Cool space to browse while waiting for the food. Recommended.

The Old Electric Shop has it all. General collectable,modern, antiques, coffee shop. It’s split up into different sections, like a traditional Market. Pretty sure it’s all different traders. Great little Hat shop in there. It’s well worth calling in, it as something for all. We will on our next visit to Hay. Mike

Stumbled upon this quirky and interesting shop/cafe. Had cappuccinos which were quite bitter (mainly because the powder on the top was straight cocoa rather than chocolate), but were otherwise nice, and the almond and orange cake was delicious!!

Delicious scrummy veggie food. Quirky ambiance. Down side is there aren’t enough tables, seems to market itself more as a thrift shop!! Great for a quick lunch.

I was visiting the area from Suffolk. It was the only vegetarian/vegan place I could find. I had the Laksa, it looked good but changed once I tasted it. It had far to much vinegar so was really sharp. Having tried many veggie places I still cannot find anywhere better than my favourite veggie pub back home The veggie red lion in greenstrert green near needham market. I will keep looking but it’s not a place I would rush back to.

We went to The Old Electric Shop for lunch when we were passing through Hay-on-Wye, because I had read that it had vegan options, and I was so glad we did! The open sandwiches were works of art! Mine was beetroot 3 ways (pureed, salt baked and pickled), garnished with red chicory, dill and horseradish sauce, which tasted as good as it looked. My partner's included asparagus and a poached egg. The cakes weren't quite up to the same standard, but were still good. The open sandwiches were fantastic value. It's a shop as well as a cafe and sells vintage clothes and housewares, artisan jewellery and a few books, Will certainly go back next time we're in the area (and might have to make a special trip!).

I visited the Old Electric Shop today and had the best open sandwich I have ever had! It was remarkable - halloumi, dates, hummous, chickpeas - gorgeous! And a very lovely smoothie.

This shop/cafe/restaurant turns into a lively bar with great music in the evening ( at least during the festival). Good selection of gins (Brecon gin and tonic £5). The country/folk group we heard (The Fordsons) were excellent.

We stumbled upon The Old Electric shop as we we’re mooching round Hay-on-Wye and absolutely loved how quirky and individual it was. A shop, cafe during the day and bar during the night. They have some fantastic stuff to buy and we brought some fab books, the cakes are to die for, they were fresh, homemade and tasted delicious & the cocktails were fab. This place is a must and we will definitely be returning upon our next visit to Hay-on-Wye.

Stopped in here to get out of the rain whilst at the How the Light Gets In festival. To sum it up... Hot drinks, tasty treats, good food, dry seats.

endroit assez improbable,qui dégage une véritable atmosphère:vous entrez,visitez,flanez puis vous vous posez et dégustez une pâtisserie et une boisson chaude le regard attiré par le spectacle des objets exposés tout autour de vous

The Old Electric Shop is a firm fave of mine, and I feel very lucky to have it on my doorstep. The food is so incredibly delicious and healthy and my regular lunch-time treat is the Italian ciabatta.. The staff are always smiley and friendly, and there is so much to look at while you wait for your food - all in all an amazing place to go!

Great to meet friends for lunch or coffee. Food is freshly prepared, uses local and seasonal ingredients, veggie and GF options, etc. Don't go expecting luxury - just a relaxed atmosphere among interesting people. Loads of interesting stock in the shop, but no pressure to buy - just time to think about your eclectic purchases!

Lovely coffee, great eclectic surroundings. Has some wonderful, quirky items in the shop part, we spent ages in here looking at things and my sister bought a very cool rug. Great location for a coffee break from all those books!:o)

Popped in to this shop several times on our visit to the area last week. There is so much to look at so allow plenty of time!

Excellent eclectic café we came across in Hay-on-wye, where we stopped for coffee & cake.

My favourite place to visit when I have friends or family come and stay. This time did not disappoint! Super friendly staff, great food and ALWAYS something new to feast your eyes on. Incredible furniture and vintage clothes. If you get a chance to go when there is a cocktail night - do it! Ive made cocktails in previous jobs - but not as good as these!

Phoned to check the cafe was open and to book a table. The person said they expected to be very busy (Good Friday) we couldn’t book, they had very few tables and we would have to ‘take our chance’. He had a queue of people and couldn’t help me further.

Was looking forward to visiting this cafe for a while & was hugely disappointed by their superior attitude. The shop was lovely with quality items, but was ignored at the cafe as I stood for 3 or 4 minutes while they talked amongst themselves. Didn't like the snobbish attitude.

This is a very interesting place. There is a mixture of home decor and lighting, art, books, clothing (including vintage), hand made items, and plants with a little cafe and seating area too. We had a hot drink after looking round and were glad we had found it. We weren't quite sure what it was before we decided to have a look so just go for it!

Of curiosities awaits you at the old electric shop, what a wonderful surprise, old games machines sit alongside contemporary jewellery, whilst beautiful homeware can be found alongside vintage clothing - once you’ve finished your inevitable spending spree you can enjoy a g&t; and some delicious local healthy food in a warm and eclectic setting - we’ll definitely be returning to this boutique bazaar!

Originally I was concerned when I looked at the breakfast menu and noticed there were only two items, avocado on toast and poached eggs on toast. But we were ravenously hungry and so we went for one of each. We were soon told that they didn’t have sourdough bread, but they did have ciabatta bread. Not being a fan of ciabatta, we reluctantly chose the only option available.

Best coffee in Hay! Fesh and inventive vegetarian food, excellent service. I've eaten here a few times and always found it delicious. The Apple cakes are a favourite of mine - just the right kind of moist and not too sweet. The decor is a fascinating melange of vintage and carefully selected new gifts. Always changing since even the cafe furniture is for sale. When I last went it was school work benches with layer upon layer of eyebrow raising graffiti carved into the wood.
