This place is so clean it’s an example to others The breakfast I had was perfection. Eggs fried good and large eggs used ! Bacon was very high in quality as was the toast. Proper thick toast and the tea was not bad A bit over the place with serving as they were too busy perfecting the food but I also say I prefer my tea or coffe after the breakfast and that’s what I got I’ll be back

I happened to call in to this cafe with my newborn because she needed feeding and I had food while I was there. When my food came my baby became fussy and one of the lovely ladies working there offered to hold her for me to eat my food warm. Also while I was there a little old lady sat with me and chatted to me and baby because she wanted company and it looked like I did too. Lovely place, lovely staff, lovely food and probably one of the cheapest cafes I’ve visited for a while. Will definitely be visiting again.

By far the best cafe in Llanelli, breakfast, lunch, or a dinner the service is always great. The food is excellent and served in a timely fashion, a good selection of food and drinks is available. Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a food break in Llanelli Town centre.
