Angie and the team were so friendly and kind. 💖 The "super" [huge] vegan breakfast was top-notch too Bring cash if possible! Paid for my drink with card, but I got cash out when I returned for food. Well worth breaking habit for such a nice place + people.

Good portion of food for the price, generally good food and good selection of options for vegan/vegetarian Waiters are attentive, happy to help and seem to be proud of the products that they serve Atmosphere is unique, with good music and old school decor. The cafe is wheelchair accessible and has a really nice location situated within the Newport Arcade. Overall a very enjoyable experience and if I find myself in Newport city centre again I will be returning 👍

Can’t believe this place has a licence to serve food, greasy tables, unbelievably rude staff. Limited choices these days for breakfast in Newport so ended up here as it’s set in a beautiful arcade. Terrible food, burnt toast, cheap dry sausages, cold, left most of it. Stick on top of this no card payments! Dodgy? It’s 2024!! Addition: Awoke this morning to an interesting email from the owner regarding my review threatening me with a solicitor. I am not remotely surprised based on my experience. Firstly, I am NOT your mate, if I was I assume I would have had a better experience. Secondly, this review is a copy and paste of my Tripadvisor review (try reading properly next time). Third, I spent good money in your cafe, unfortunately I cannot prove this as you don’t take card payments!! May be of interest to HMRC? Anyway, reviews are supposed to help you improve your business or understand when you are doing well, I suggest you take on board ALL feedback and treat it as a gift. I look forward to hearing from your solicitor. Very strange and very immature.

I've read a lot of reviews on here and recently visited with friends I can say it was the best breakfast I've had in a long time large portion size and not your usual greasy spoon the staff are great and can't do enough for you I would highly recommend the pot cafe to anyone wanting a quality breakfast or lunch then coffee is also the best around 10/10 thank you!

Never normally post reviews but after Saturday thought I had too. AVOID THIS PLACE. Myself and a colleague thought we would get a cooked breakfast on the way to the train station on Saturday morning so called in here My breakfast was quite greasy and poorly presented had a a long red hair in the beans The loud mouthed old cook behind the counter had a red wig on, we would have tried to complain but the music was way too loud.. Avoid

My son took me here for breakfast after raving about the place. I'd read 5 star reviews and people claims of it being the best breakfast in Newport. Have these people eaten anywhere else? I found the breakfast to be very standard, mostly overcooked aymnd certainly not cheap. The worst thing was that it was very stuffy and you'll leave with your clothes smelling like you'd worked an 8 hour shift. There's far better in the Port.

Not knowing Newport in the slightest, we picked this place at random based on trip advisor reviews, for a pre-football match fry up on a Saturday morning in early February There was a shock on arrival of finding out that this place ONLY takes cash (it’s 2024……. Who only takes cash payments these days?) luckily one of us had sufficient cash for us not to have to go find elsewhere. The decor was interesting - lots of rock and pop memorabilia on the walls, including a whole wall dedicated to David Bowie. The welcome was good and friendly and I chose to ignore the “political statement” the owners are making by the huge Palestinian flag hanging in the window. Fry ups and politics aren’t generally good mixers. The service was excellent and the fry up of choice didn’t disappoint - lots of it and good value for money. The only tiny moan I would have is that an assumption was made when I asked for coffee, that I wanted milk in it. Guess they are saving on providing milk in little jugs…. The place, which was relatively quiet when we arrived at 9.45am, was soon packed to the rafters - which is always a good sign. Mostly locals as well. The food was extremely competitively priced, served with lightning speed and with a friendly smile. Which pretty much made my tiny little moans totally insignificant. Thoroughly recommended

Brilliant veggie breakfast!! Really busy little cafe in Newport arcade. Loads of tradition options on their menu, including veggie and vegan. Portions are really big too! The lady cooking, I guess she is the owner, knows everyone by name, and their orders, when they walk in and obviously enjoys what she does (you can hear her singing along to the radio 😊)

Terrible experience, which is such a shame as we love to support local and independent businesses. The owner and staff had extremely poor attitude when we asked how long our food would be after waiting 30min. This was only because our car parking was going to run out, but we see this as a lucky escape as the place is grimy and unwelcoming. Our table was unclean and sticky, making it uncomfortable, and our coffee mugs were dirty. Have a look at the other negative reviews and the bad responses from the owner and make your own mind up before giving this place a visit. There are plenty of other lovely places in Newport.

I cant praise this place enough, we popped in on a whim as we were bored of the usual generic lunch choices and fancied warm, home cooked food. The Pot didnt dissapoint !! Home made leek and potato soup for all of my family and a fresh brown roll, AMAZING !! The staff were helpful, patient and great fun. I cant say enough good, a gem in the Newport Arcade and a super Independent Cafe, please support these guys so we dont lose them. Will see you soon.

We were looking for a breakfast while we were waiting to go to an appointment in Newport we thought we’d found a lovely place to eat so we went in and ordered hot drinks were brought promptly then the wait began at least 30 minutes we were running out of time ( people who’d came in after us were getting there food) so we asked if ours was gonna be much longer as we were running out of time we were told there was a futher wait so we decided to cancel the order as we we’re paying I mentioned this to the lady she said I was wrong and as we were leaving the lady that was cooking the food sarcastically shout bye then absolutely shocking customer service was very disappointed with our visit

Visited the pot cafe with my partner & my dog, I think the dog was welcomed more than us humans 🤣 (joke). The pot is very dog friendly, staff was so lovely & happy on arrival , its so refreshing to be welcomed like that 🥰 The theme of the place is so so cool, food was amazing, I went for a sausage sandwich and my partner had the big one (which looked incredible 😍) & Milo our little dog had a sausage😀 . Cleanliness was on point, tables was lovely and clean, toilets was pleasant and smelt floral. Service was was relatively quick and staff was very attentive. Both of the ladies was cooking, serving and cleaning as they go, which was great to see, they have a fab system which clearly works and I feel should be implemented by a lot of other businesses in the area ! Myself and my partner left the establishment feeling happy, full & wholesome. What a lovely place with even lovelier people we will most definitely be back.

The Pot is a very well known and long established café in Newport Arcade (not the newly refurbished Market Arcade but the other Victorian arcade nearby, linking High Street with Cambrian Road). The café has table service and it's possible to sit inside the restaurant or outside it under cover of the arcade which is what we did. For a long time I'd looked forward to paying a visit in order to try one of the vegan breakfasts having seen them recommended and I was glad to have finally got around to doing so. The breakfast I've attached a picture of is the 'Super Vegan' which is a meal for those with larger appetites but there is also a smaller 'Regular Vegan' version. Breakfasts at The Pot include tea or coffee which, for vegans, come with a choice of oat, almond or soya milk. The breakfast was full of flavour, was very satisfying and the service, in pleasant surroundings, was friendly and efficient.

I used to come here 10 years ago, every morning for a big breakfast when I lived in Newport. In the whole time since, I've never found a better breakfast anywhere else. I always compare them to The Pot. The portions are huge, tasty and great value. I got the train back today just so I could pop in. I'm now veggie, but the veggie breakfasts are just as good as they always used to be. A huge breakfast is £8 and comes with tea or coffee. The staff are friendly and food arrives quickly. Thank you so much for another great breakfast 😊

Not been before and needed a place for a quick lunch during a working lunch hour. Chose this over Wetherspoon's which is nearby, on a chance, and glad I did. Quirky cafe tucked away in the parade, snug, with wooden tables and chairs. Visited in Halloween week, and place was decorated, clearly effort goes into presentation. Interesting mix between a greasy spoon cafe (lots of breakfast options) and hot classic meals e.g. chilli, sausages, pies etc which I wasn't expecting. Service was friendly and food was good. Not expensive either. Would chose this again if in the area.
