The best restaurants in St. James Caerphilly South Wales

A fantastic little find today, Cracking coffee, lovely fresh cake and superb personal service. It was a very welcome sight along my ride particularly as it's nesting on the top of a cracking climb. I highly recommend a visit.

My wife and daughter took me there yesterday for a 70th birthday treat, really bad, 1st table right next to the front door and very draughty, got moved to another table, table NOT CLEANED still had food crumbs on it, wet ring stains from glasses, dirty cutlery, ceiling light out ended up using the torch on my phone to read the menu. I ordered and coke it came with lime slice in it and loads of ice, I was not asked if I wanted them Ordered the food just under a hour later it arrived. Chicken in a sauce with chips, small metal dish with chicken in it and covered with cucumber, chicken looked like it had been sitting around for ages and a old bird as really really hard to try and cut also very small portion with a few chips. Could not eat the chicken as so tough, no staff to be seen to get it sorted out Desert apple pie and ice cream, soggy outside of the pie,apples sour. The Lady who served us was only seen when we had finished main meal and came for dessert order, she was told about the main meal and didn't do anything. From the time of sitting down at the 2nd table until we left we did not have any member of staff come and ask if everything was okay. We only saw staff when they brought the food, which took nearly a hour from starter finish to main meal arrived. My whole evening was really spoilt as I said it was a treat for my 70th birthday and it was totally spoilt. Rest assured I will not recommend this place

We used to go here regularly for coffee but the prices have gone through the roof. Will be taking our custom elsewhere from now on.
