The Village - Bakery & Cafe in Newport

What a find! I used Google to locate a breakfast between Cardiff and Clevedon as we didn't want to go into the city and it did not disappoint. It was busy with cyclists having coffee and pastries, locals buying bread and friends meeting up. The food was superb. We had bacon in freshly baked rolls and all took away pastries or sweet treats. My brioche bread and butter slice was chuffing awesome! It's obviously very well frequented by people who live locally. What an asset!

This had the best pasteries and Portuguese tarts, all the baked good looked and tasted amazing,staff are so kind and the outside area is beautiful

I visited today for lunch with a friend, and we were impressed with both the friendly service and the food. I enjoyed their tasty cheese & onion Cornish pasty so much I ordered another one straight away. Will return for sure when next in Caerleon. Well done, guys.

Delicious meat and vegetarian pies. We split a spinach cheese filo and a steak pastie. Wonderful lemon meringue tart. Friendly atmosphere. Gareth is so welcoming. Couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic food at a really good price!! We all had delicious slices and sandwiches, very helpful staff and the puddings were out of this world!!

Very friendly cafe with selection of sandwiches and hot pastries. We enjoyed a chicken tikka baguette and a vegan vegetable pastie. Looked like a lovely selection of cakes and treats too.

A welcoming cafe/bakery with amazing cake selection. We are dairy free so were thrilled to have a choice, highly recommend the vegan Oreo cake! Service was swift, and staff very friendly. We will definitely be going back!

Absolutely fantastic bakery. Staff were incredible, explained everything they had and happy to answer any questions. The Basque Cheesecake was out of this world good! There were 7 of us in the group and everysingle one of us were extremely pleased with the cakes and service. It's worth visiting the area just for this place!

A lovely place and a wonderful find with an interesting range of foods. So good we went back again later. Wish I lived nearby so I could visit more regularly!

Impressive array of sweets and savouries incorporating different dietary needs. The hot chocolate and coffees were lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back and can’t recommend it highly enough. I loved the local produce on sale there too, a proper community business.

A hidden gem 💎 The quaint cafe/bakery was recommended by a local resident. Tucked away in the heart of the town. I was greeted with a warm welcome. Enjoyed a coffee and light bite during my stay. Worth visiting for coffee, lunch, sweet treat from the bakery (all freshly made) Give yourself time to also explore the village. So much history. Caerleon was one of the most important military sites in Britain under the Roman Empire, home of the 2nd Augustan Legion and housing 5,000 soldiers and horsemen, with Infomamphitheatre, baths, shops and temples.

Great little place. Had a lovely pasty and the flapjack was awesome. The staff are attentive and great to chat to. Very personable and kind. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little place, recommended by the museum. The staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and food was delicious.

Was looking forward to visiting this place but unfortunately was very disappointed. The service was extremely slow as the young lady behind the counter seems very confused with the till system. A couple were allowed to push in in front of me as there’s no attention to customer service. I ordered a flat white and a latte and when they arrived they both tasted exactly the same. All the other customers who were sat outside had china cups yet ours were served in cardboard cups, when I asked why there was no explanation given. Personally I think coffee tastes better when drunk from china and wouldn’t have bothered ordering any if I had been told this before. Very poor customer service and no atmosphere. Unfortunately won’t be returning.

A very clean beautifully presented premises, a great display of fresh artisan bakery, pastries and hot homemade snacks. Pleasantly hosted and run by Gareth and his business partner. Would certainly return for coffee and light snacks when next in the area and would recommend others to visit.

We had not visited since 2019 and were pleasantly surprised at the refurbishing and cleanliness of The Village. Pastries, bread and pasties were all excellent. We stopped several times during our Caerleon visit. Good and friendly service and quality goods. High recommend.

This is a great local for a mid day snack or delicious pastry, the staff are friendly and very accommodating I highly Recommend this bakery

We stopped here before looking around the remains of the Roman Fort. I had the BEST Tuna mayonnaise with cheese roll ever. The bread is superb ! Also got a Custard Slice (Ice Slice where I grew up). The pastry was really good and the Custard lively and wobbly, just as how I like it. Carafes of water were brought out to us and it was much needed on the hottest day. A fantastic and I cannot recommend it enough. Go here and support a community business !

The best place in Caerleon for tea, coffee, cakes, bread, baked savouries. Always a great selection of vegan items. Service is always friendly, with a smile and nothing too much trouble. The only place for celebration cakes, our last one for my daughters 18th on Friday.

We visited The Village Bakery out of necessity as I'd forgotten to pack the sandwiches my wife had lovingly created for our day out in roman Carleon. It's fair to say I was in big trouble, so it was a massive stroke of luck that we stumbled on this cafe during our silent walk into the town centre. There was a great choice of pasties and pastries, all nicely displayed. Tge owner was really friendly. We chose a chicken, bacon and leek pasty, cheese & onion pasty, carrot cake and lemon & ginger cake. Money was no object, due to my predicament, but luckily the prices were very reasonable. All the food was delicious and I escaped further censor from her indoors.

Wonderful bakery and cafe. Friendly and kind. Good variety. Scones were delicious. Sausage rolls tasty. Good selection of cakes, lunches item, and take home.

Well this was a lovely little stop. We wanted a small spot of lunch and had just visited the great roman museum around the corner (well worth a visit and free) so called in here. Nice choice of savoury bakes and sweet things as well as whole loaves of bread too. We opted for the vegan Cornish pasty and the vegan bake (after some sound advice from the really friendly gentleman with blue hair behind the counter, also pleased to see multiple vegan options) which were only a couple pounds each and well worth the money. Food was hot, fresh, brought to our table and delicious. This was an ace pit stop and perfect for a break between having a nice walk around the local area.

Great choice of savoury pastries - all tried different ones, lovely flakey pastry. Good choice of cakes, including vegan too Great service, friendly staff, good prices too. We'll be back!

Very friendly service and great banana bread! the staff at the museum recommended it, the cakes are supposed to be very good too!

Fabulous little cafe and artisan bakery. We had a nice table in a sunny window. It was freezing cold the day we went but warm inside. On a mild day there are quite a few picnic benches with parasols outside - so great for walkers or cyclists. The bakery is tucked away at the end of a quiet little side street between the Roman museum and church. We were told to go there by quite a few locals who all recommended their pasties. Unbelievable range of delicious pastries, cakes, handmade breads and pasties. The atmosphere was friendly, the owner very welcoming and the coffee was really good. Would definitely visit again. Look forward to trying out the new brunch menu when that starts !

It was absolutely excellent with my nut allergy, checking all of the ingredients for the hot chocolate and all of the freshly baked food, couldn’t have asked for better service! Would definitely recommend to my friends!
