We were recently in St David’s and popped in for a much needed lunch. The choice is not vast but wow it is absolutely delicious. So much so we had 2 further lunches here in our 4 day stay. I am avoiding carbohydrates completely at the moment and my needs were immediately and deliciously catered for. The staff were lovely and coffee was also delicious. Dogs welcome which is another great point. When you visit, be sure to use the facilities…they are also smart and way above normal cafe standard. Cannot recommend highly enough and look forward to returning next visit. 5 Star +++++

Delicious coffee here and sausage rolls. The pain au chocolate was also very nice. All takeaway but we were able to sit outside on the sunny patio which was lovely.

Great location. Fresh vegetables, delicatessen produce, beers & spirits. Lovely coffee shop at rear with terrace in summer. Formerly the Veg Patch. Lovely people who deserve to do well.

Popped in to have a look and came away with a hog roast pork pie, a lovely sausage roll and a lettuce. The sell s wide variety of delicious items and the coffee smelt amazing. The people working there were friendly and efficient.

Really cute cafe with great healthy options. They had a lot of vegetarian options too. It’s been hard to find healthy food/salad options in Wales and this was just what I needed. I also loved the elderflower soda. It was light yet flavorful and locally made.

Decent coffee, very nice croissant (best I've had for years, who's the supplier? ) Visited on two occasions last week. Impressed by cleanliness. Shame that the outdoor area was closed off. Counter service was quick and efficient. Shop at front had a good range of deli style goods.
