Absolutely loved this place. I went this morning after seeing this cafe on a walk on a visit to the area previously. As a Welsh man seeing this Welsh cafe in england, I was very intrigued. I can recommend the belly-buster breakfast. The staff were lovely, well decorated, clean and the service was quick.

What a lovely little Welsh cafe with nice staff and great food at reasonable prices. I just had a lovely meal and the food was fresh and tasty. From ordering to the table was fast as well. Cafe has a toilet and is accessible to all.

Always go here for breakfast with family, food is hot, good quality, plenty of it and delicious. You get service with a smile and if you want something 'tweaked' off the menu they always try to accommodate. We also used Cwtch's outside catering for our Dad's funeral, everyone commented how good the buffet was, especially the home made sausage rolls and home made cakes. They even catered for our vegetarian and gluten free friends. We also needed a small separate buffet for the sheltered accommodation which Cwtch put together little picnic boxes, these were also well received. I would deffinately recommend Cwtch for outside catering.

A nice Cosy cafe with a surprising amount of seating, at a guess it can sit over 26 people. It has table service, but what I noticed primarily was how clean it was, As any customer left the staff immedatley wiped the tables (properly) down. Prices were very reasonable , I had the largest breakfast and a latte for just over £11, however there's plenty to choose from including alot of home made meal specials, that day home made pie chips and peas was £6. Many meals were cheaper so my advice is to check online but all in all I'd highly recommend this cafe and I will be going back with my family.
