Ty Medi in Powys

Cosy, friendly cafe with the most delicious veggie food and coffee! Highly recommend!

Our first time here and it didn’t disappoint, the food was extremely tasty, it was quite busy, which is a positive, and the staff were lovely and helpful, we had the vegan options. The coffee that was served was seriously one of the nicest and smoothest I’ve had, then to finish I had the vegan coffee cake which was fantastic, sweet and light. And the young lady that served it had cut the most perfect slice. 😬 Thank you we will return.

Great vegetarian restaurant. We had the full vegan and full vegetarian breakfast. Really nice food.

Gorgeous, freshly cooked, vegan breakfast, with the most delicious tomatoes. Staff for attentive, service was immaculate, coffee was perfect. Highly recommended

Friendly atmosphere and delicious food. The staff is extremely friendly. Wide choice for breakfast and lunch. The toilets are neat and clean. Recommended!!

good food, nice people and clean toilets!

Well, they were really busy, which is always a good sign. We managed to find a table and ordered some drinks and some food. The drinks came really quickly, follow up by the food which was extremely well presented. We were so impressed with the quality of the food! It’s very reasonably priced and definitely somewhere we will call into again.

Tasty food and friendly service. Fresh ingredients with good flavor combinations.

Cosy spot. Fast and friendly service. Had the full vegan breakfast. Was very tasty. Good value for money as well.

Amazing place. Fabulously prepared fresh food. Great service and lovely ambience. Called in by chance and will most definitely visit again. Highly recommended

I do usually like to support veggie cafes but unfortunately I cannot with Ty Medi. We ordered food and two coffees from here at lunch time today. When the coffee came out, I noticed that mine was cold and had a funny smell and taste. I assume that they had used off milk in the latte. We politely asked the waitress if she could replace the coffee as it didn’t taste right, and rather than apologising, she grudgingly said she’ll change it. She was very unfriendly towards us. There was a very long wait for the food and the portions were small for the price. Overall a very disappointing experience and we won’t be returning.

Great place, not cheap but worth the money. We come here for lunch occasionally; we're no longer vegetarian but the food is good in its own right. It can be very busy at lunchtime, we booked last time to make sure of a table.

Had brunch here three times during the week that we were staying nearby. I am a vegetarian and was well catered for. Staff were cheerful and the service was quick. The menu is varied and they have a range of daily specials. Well worth a visit.

Absolute favourite place of ours, some of the tastiest food we’ve ever had truly!

Absolutely incredible food as always - worth making a detour for! Great drinks and cakes too! Highly recommend ordering from the specials board.

Quite possibly the tastiest food I've ever had! Every single bit of the meal is perfect, even the salads have so many incredible flavours. There's a great atmosphere, everyone's really friendly, the staff are lovely and the prices are great for the quality of the food. The daily specials have all been delicious. The food obviously takes time to come out because it's all homemade and fresh, very worth any small wait. I would eat here every day if I could!

Great vegan options and lovely coffee, even when busy you are served fairly quickly. Good pricing too!

Delicious food, lovely and fresh. The salads are great and the nut burgers are fabulous.

Lovely little place with great food and many options - vegan options, gluten-free bread, coconut milk, etc. and all super delicious!

Great place for a nice cake and super coffee .

Amazing vegetarian and vegan cafe

We regularly visit Mach, and this is a place we looked forward to going to, so were really sad and disappointed with our recent experience. We arrived at 11.35, found a table, and I went up to the counter to ask for menus, it took some time of the two people behind the counter of chatting to acknowledge me. I asked for a menu, to be responded to quite gruffly, and told whilst pointing at a board "We don't serve until 12". I said that wasn't a problem, we can have some drinks and maybe biscuits etc and then order lunch. They then stated "Well actually it's more like 12.10 that you would even be able to order" distain on their face. I felt really uncomfortable, our children were hugely disappointed. What a shame. Normally a lovely place. We promptly left, as we're clearly not welcome.

Went with my daughter and we both had a nice salad meal . Lovely flavours. Only reason I gave 4 stars is they were out of a few dishes , saying that it was towards the end of the day.

A lovely and very popular place to eat. Highly recommended 👍☺️

Wonderful place to have drinks or food. Lovely cake. Didn't eat today. Just had coffee by their amazing barista. She knows her coffee for sure.

Great food, friendly staff, and excellent value for money. Small, relaxed cafe, well worth a visit. Lovely flavours and interesting vegetarian dishes.

First time in here for lunch, sat on table opposite the counter, no menu on table and young lady behind counter chatting to someone in kitchen, wasn't aware that you had to order at counter as the young lady serving had not acknowledged us or asked if we were OK and needed a menu, I got a menu from an empty table and ordered, food and drinks arrived promptly, however the "cheese melt" was on a plain slice of bread which wasn't toasted and fell apart when cut into. All in all a poor experience from a customer service point of view, however the toilets are 5 star.

Food was amazing quality and beat my expectations! Very tasty & affordable! Also a plus that they’re dog friendly.

Came across Ty Medi from an online recommendation, so had a visit when in the area. Opted for a quick and easy Granola bowl, only to have a 40 minute wait. Tables who ordered after us were served their full breakfasts before us, so we queried if they may have simply forgotten us, only to have a very dismissive reply of ‘We’re really busy with breakfast’ (There were only 4 other tables, only 2 of which were after us) The food itself was fantastic, along with one of the best Matcha Latte’s I’ve had in a long time. Just a shame about the overall experience.

Bought take away for a picnic lunch - really amazing food and friendly service.

Always eat here when in Machylleth. Always a pleasurable experience - and love the food! Staff are always nice and helpful. Love the family ambience: this is not just a café.

Honestly some of the most delicious food I've ever had! So glad we found this place, it's got a really lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was mind blowing; really fresh ingredients and divine flavour combinations. Ty Medi was such a highlight of our trip, we'd come back to Machynlleth just for the food!

We were blown away with this cafe - so much so that we came back the next day and arranged our 3 day trip around going back! The food was incredible - we tried 4 different things from the menu and every one was brilliant. Lovely salads, quiche and curries. Staff were friendly and service was really quick. One of the best cafes we've ever been to, and to find it in the middle of such a rural area was amazing.

Good coffee & cake. It was very busy, but staff still polite & efficient. A great independent place to have coffee or lunch

Just recently I realised why we go out to eat... to have some exciting experience! And this was the case in this lovely place. We are not going out to eat bacon sandwiches.... This place has different yummy veg. options for lunch, we have been here twice with the kids and loved it. Good choice for deserts as well. Thank you!! sorry I forgot the name of the chef, but I am really grateful for the warm atmosphere and hearty food.

Mmmm. Reasonably nice food though both halloumis and felafels a bit oversalted, but nice cakes and decent coffee. Unfortunately though very rude, offhand staff - no smiles and always act as if they're doing you a big favour just serving you at all. As another reviewer says, the cafe across the road is less pretentious but much friendlier and does great toasties and almond croissants !

Excellent food, though opening hours on website are incorrect and food service times not shown on website at all, so disappointing when you especially make the journey to have lunch there.

A busy atmosphere and a huge selection of food and drink to choose from one of my favourite places ti stop at and get something to eat.

Nice place friendly staff, food nice lots of vegan options including cakes! Although salad portions could be bigger (or a larger size could be offered on the menu).

Absolutely lovely lunch at Ty Midi in Machynlleth. Salads and flavours were amazing as lifelong meat eaters we were converted and will be looking at trying to create some of these flavours at home . Thank you 🙏

Best meal since arriving in Wales

Excellent mushrooms on toast- we’ve spent the rest of our holiday thinking about them! A brilliant place for a relaxing coffee and food- wish we’d tried the cakes!

Great coffee, warm welcome, buzzy atmosphere and excellent service with some tables in the sunshine outside.

Always stop here on rare visits to Machynlleth. Service can be slow at times when busy - but drinks ands cakes always nice. Great feel inside. Worth a visit.

Best breakfast in the known universe

Amazing little cafe with a delicious vegan breakfast. You can tell effort and thought went into it and it was much more than just a bunch of stuff thrown together like some places do. Lots of flavour and really nicely presented. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back.

Super verganes Restaurant mit lockerer Atmosphäre. Nette Gäste, nette Bedienung, leckeres Essen

Enjoyed a superb breakfast at Ty Medi. Will definitely come back to sample the rest of the menu.

Delicious vegan breakfast and lovely service.

Excellent, interesting food at a reasonable price. Friendly helpful service, and dog friendly too. It's the second time I've been and it did not disappoint

Went on Friday 14 July at 11am Had the worst vegan breakfast ever. Took 40 minutes from ordering to gettingthe breakfast and only arrived after I had complained of the wait. When it came it was luke warm and the facon chewy. No apology, no nothing will not be back !!

We booked having visited last year for tea & cake. Sadly, this year it was awful. I had to get up five times to let others get past me. Far too many tables inside. Heartbreaking to see a couple try to get up on the high stools pushed in by others. The food was adequate - very dry falafels, far too salty halloumi fries. Service was dreadful - no almond milk, fries on the menu but weren’t offered despite seeing others having them, food pretty much thrown at us and clearly couldn’t wait to clear the table. Wouldn’t recommend and despite making a special trip to eat there, we won’t be returning.

Workers were lovely, service was efficient and friendly. Had the carrot cake, it was gorgeous.

Neither Google or their website mention that on Thursday no food is served. We made a special journey and paid for car parking only to find this out after we asked for menus. When I mentioned the website they said we don't use that, only "Socials"!! I'm sure their food is lovely but their marketing is terrible.

We were so disappointed today…. We’ve been here loads of times and rave to everyone about how good it is…. Last October upstairs was closed, menus at the tables and order and pay at the counter which was fine given time of year and post covid…. However today…. Still no upstairs so felt very squished and tightly packed in… not obvious what to do on arrival… menu only on a chalk board by the counter in small writing and halved from what was on offer before… prices increased as expected due to cost of living… BUT portions halved as well and really not to the standard we’ve always received before….to die for salads now mediocre 😞 awesome jacket potato wedges now frozen chips 😞 Sooo disappointed…..you guys knew how to knock it out of the park…what happened???😞😞😞

The staff are so friendly and we enjoyed our frappes (plant based milks available). Sadly we didn't have time for food but the menu looked great, I will definitely return here again as it's great to see options for vegans becoming more available :)

Absolutely lovely cafe. Excellent food and full of friendly staff.

Loved this place. Quite a lot of indoor seating as well as outdoor (which was very handy during the comedy festival). Food was delicious, and the cakes. I had a soup (think it was butternut) which was v good, came with a delicious soft, hot roll. My husband enjoyed his falafel. Good variety of veg. The courgette and the coffee cakes were v nice too. Friendly atmostphere.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here with friends and a baby. Beautiful setting with local artwork and the best salad and sweet potato fries I have had in a long time. Staff welcoming and food came in good time. Went back again for one of their special evening openings (spotted on their Facebook) - high quality food and drinks, and again beautiful setting for an evening out with friends.

Great find! We were passing through and headed here because of Google reviews, veggie AND dog friendly .....parked in main car park, plugged in our PHEV and pretty much crossed over the road. Really lovely café, waitresses friendly- seated us, cleared table and directed us to the counter for the daily changing menu,(always a good sign for changing fresh produce!), and easy enough to take a photo of and return to table for everyone to choose....and then great coffee and delicious food! We all really enjoyed our lunch and then a wonder around Machynclth.

Lovely to find a vegan options place on our stop to see family. We had coffee, soup, salads and all superb, even for non vegetarians Friendly, welcoming and delicious… thank you

Was looking forwards to visiting, but a very disappointing experience.

Great vegan options really tasty

A chance visit while paying through. Wonderful place and friendly atmosphere. Had the avocado on toast with seeds. It was delish and set to become a common breakfast in our house.

Wholesome, good food. Great place to eat, drink and meet up

A delightful cafe which offers an excellent range of vegan and vegetarian food. We called by today and even though the kitchen had closed, they very kindly allowed us to order some food. We enjoyed lovely fresh salads, burgers and soup. Service was quick and friendly. It was exactly what we needed. Thankyou Ty Medi - you're doing a great job!

Stopped in Machynlleth on my drive home to stretch my legs and get a coffee. Really happy I found this place. Unfortunately I'd had a huge breakfast at my hotel, as the soup looked fab. Seemed very busy place, with lots coming in for pasties etc. Staff were very friendly The coffee was amazing. I could've stayed there all afternoon if I'm honest! Thanks for the caffeine guys!

Came for a quick lunch on route to North Wales. Very disappointed, dirty plates and cups left on the tables. Sign on entry very confusing, stating "table service only", but as you read on, you must go in to get the menu and order at the till? We had to find a menu, waiting staff did not assist at all. I ordered the Welsh cheddar cheese sandwich with sun-dried tomatoes. The person serving plonked it down on the edge of the table and walked away. It was not a sandwich - merely cheese on toast with sun-dried tomatoes. After all the positive reviews, hugely disappointed. Will not be returning.

Good coffee, delicious cakes, friendly staff, good ambience.

Excellent vegan food. I make a detour to lunch here whenever I'm in the area.

Food of reasonable quality though not value for money, nice decor, bad seating arrangement and indifferent service. Forgot our order and not a word of apology when we reminded them.

We managed to squeeze in to this busy little place for lunch on a market day. I noticed that there was one table having a reserved sign put on it as we left so you can book ahead. The coffees we had were lovely and hot with a great flavour, much better than most of the chains you go to. All the food is homemade and delicious at a sensible price for what they are offering. Our daughter was eyeing up the homemade cakes as well, but none of us had any room left to try them. If looks are anything to go by then they are definitely worth a bash

Visited on our way to Aberdovey and although the food was OK we asked for our coffee extra hot and it was barely lukewarm so I asked the waitress could it be extra hot please and although she was pleasant and took it away to sort it out a different young woman with brown hair came back with the coffee and a small jug of hot water and said they can't make coffee too hot as it burns and we should ask for it hot in future if that's how we want it! I told her we had asked and she just tutted and walked off no apology just a bad attitude.... Go somewhere else if you want good customer service and coffee that is not lukewarm

Meeting friend to exchange Xmas pressies and have a bite to eat. Unfortunately wasn't serving food but rather than moving elsewhere we decided on settling for tea and cake. I can't remember what it was but sounded exotic sponge sandwich, it was delicious with a lovely tangy cream and a nice pot of tea or two. Friend said hers was delicious but she may do her own review.

Settled down for food here with my partner. As we browsed the menu, member of staff came over to say that they don’t serve food on a Thursday (what?). So don’t go on a Thursday if you want food 🤷‍♀️

Nice food and environment.Good for Coeliac and vegans.Lovely restroom facilities.Customer service could have been more attentive.

Lovely and atmosphere, everything was delicious. 10/10 will recommend to a friend

Delicious cake, nice atmosphere, good tea and they even do the perfect matcha latte - highly recommended. They offer ordinary moly and also soya, oat and coconut.

Super little cafe for coffee and food. Don't be put off by the vegetarian tag as there's plenty of choice and the coffee and cakes are really really good. Polite and friendly staff. Opted for a Cheddar wrap and a baked potato with goats cheese,...

Great food, great coffee, was going for 4stars as slightly small portion for a big meat eater, but on reflection it was enough so gave it 5stars

Love it, we're not veggies but this is our favourite eatery in town. Great coffee, cake, salads oozing flavour, moussaka was awesome. Always busy, dog friendly, displays local art and lovely toilets. Wish we had one in Staffordshire.

Great atmosphere, clearly loved and valued by the locals. Meals, cakes and coffees all very tasty, highly recommend 🙂

We stopped here for a quick lunch, we had the goats cheese focaccia and the falafel wrap. Both were lovely but the goats cheese was so good! Lovely homemade food and lovely service, would definitely recommend.

Cracking little spot in Machynlleth for a nice lunch or just a coffee. Good service no matter what you do. The place was packed when the town wasn't... says it all.

Our second visit it Ty Medi and it’s even more useless than before, I mean seriously, how difficult is it to make a cup of coffee? 45 minute wait and nothing. We’ve seen 6 tables leave through boredom already.

A gem of a cafe! Arrived at the cafe without booking, a table was found for us within a few minutes. The cafe serves a variety of food, from breakfasts, wraps, salads , soups and a wide variety of delicious looking homemade cakes. The staff...

Wedi ymweld â Tŷ Medi heddiw- roedd y bwyd yn fendigedig, roedd pob pryd mor flasus! Gwych gweld y fwydlen yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg hefyd. The food was simply delicious. The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and the service was excellent. Both the salad...

We were looking for lunch in Machynlleth and came across this cafe, which had a buzz about it. We aren't veggie/vegan but frequently eat veggie/vegan food. My partner ordered simple jacket potato with beans and cheese and I ordered the quiche, which came with a...

What is there to say about an amazing place like this? I could tell you that it's a beautifully aesthetic place with great artwork and a rustic charm. Or I could tell you that the staff are extremely pleasant and polite whilst being very accommodating of our canine friends. Perhaps, the fact that it is one of the cleanest cafés we've been to, where the slightest touch of the dog warranted our waitress to exclaim "Well, best go wash my hands now" with a beaming smile. But you obviously care about that. What you want to know about is the food! Well, I'll tell you now; as far as vegan/vegetarian food goes, theirs was top of my favourites! The wraps were delicious, very flavourful and exceptionally more-ish. The prices were very fair and we were actually surprised it didn't cost more. So, go here, have some brilliant food, soak in the aesthetics and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and cheerful staff. Go now, thank me later!

I Had a really good salad with fresh produce. There are loads of choice for my vegan son, who was in heaven with all the choice of cakes. I enjoyed the excellent coffee as well.

Lovely staff and filling food! Was unsure I would have enough to eat but was soon surprised by the quality of food! Dog friendly is a bonus 😊

Really imaginative tasty veggie food

We stopped off in Machynlleth for lunch on a trip heading further down south to Cardigan. We walked around and it is very pretty little town, and we saw this place had tables outside and every one had someone eating something that looked good, so we thought we'd give it a try. I tried one of the specials, an aubergine and tamarind stew with a nice salad including some sweet potato, roasted beetroot, walnuts and grapes, some slaw, with a few new potatoes in butter and herbs. My wife had the falafel in a wrap, with a similar salad, and my son had the halloumi fries, with a garlic mayo dip, and we all shared a bowl of chips. My son had a smoothie with raspberry and coconut too. All the food was really good, the chips were amazing, super crunchy on the outside and almost burning hot and fluffy in the middle. My stew was tangy and sweet, and properly filled me up after three and a half hours driving. I had a good iced latte to finish, the bill was very reasonable at £42 including some other soft drinks, and the place was clean with nice relaxing music on softly in the background. I really liked this place, so I expect I'll drop in again when I'm driving this way next time.

Arrived for lunch and sat down as instructed but no one came so eventually I ordered at the counter…..when the food arrived I can safely say it was one of the most vile meals I’ve had in a long time! Fried Halloumi with mayo and...

Called in to Ty Medi at 11.30 this morning and ordered coffee and toast for two. The coffee arrived in 5 minutes but 20 minutes later we were still waiting for the toast. Asked two different waitresses about the toast but all they could say...

Very friendly vegetarian restaurant with good choices and delicious food.

Everything about this place is truly perfect! The people and service, the food and the cafeteria! I highly recommend all of you reading this to go there when you are visiting Machynlleth! You can't simply miss it! Additionally, it's run by the most wonderful people...

Fresh food with great flavours. One of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time! Nice, helpful staff and a good atmosphere to boot.

My wife and I had the best breakfast ever The home made Keto bread was to die for Family run excellent customer care

Horrible customer service, we were waiting for the menu 15mins, then finally we asked for it ( they gave us one menu for 4 people ). It was almost nothing available on the menu - but they told us about it when we already ordered our food, we just decided to leave.
