Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Served with a choice of either fries or chunky wedges (think roast potato wedges and you'll get the idea). The cafe makes its own hot sauces and strawberry jams, all of which you should try if you get a chance as they're all scrumptious. You can even buy jars of the sauces to take home. Service is warm & friendly and you're made to feel incredibly welcome the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave. If you're on the lookout for something a bit more genuine and satisfying than what the nearby commercial chains can offer this is the place!

The owner of this small cafe/deli is one of the many people running the operations behind the display counter. As you walk in the shop, you first see a little shop that sells cards and trinkets. In the far end is the display case and counter where you can order food. The other half of the restaurant is the dining area, where the food is brought to your table. The decor of this place is wonderful - quaint country cottage style theme with bright colours, simple wooden furnishing, while maintaining minimalism. Great place for a bunch of girls to meet for brunch (as was most of the clientele when we arrived for brunch before we headed out to go castle hunting for the day. The food selections are limited to sandwiches and salads as it is a cafe but they do a great job with the menu. We had: - two capuccinos - one chorizo and chicken wrap: tasted mexican and was recommended by the owner - one breakfast toastie: came with a delicious salsa The total was about 13 quid and the atmosphere makes you not want to leave. Also they have free wifi. They close at 5pm so it's not a place to have dinner. If I lived in Newport, I'd definitely be here all the time.

Wow! We learned about The Baker's Table on a Talgarth Mill brochure left at our AirBnB in Penderyn,…read moreon the other side of Brecon Beacons park... We were heading back to London the next day, and at first thought "too bad this isn't on our way home," but the next morning decided we wanted to see more of the park anyway, as well as a few other points north before our weeklong adventure adjourned... What a pleasure it was to stop here on that dreary morning! When we arrived around 10:30am, the whole place was bustling with what turned out to be a tour group of retirees, about to tour the historic adjacent mill. The setup is counter service style: order your items, take your number and choose a table (indoors or outdoors). Most of the indoor tables overlook the brook running through the mill; the outdoor tables are in the courtyard of the mill buildings. They don't have a true breakfast, per se, but they have teas, coffee/espresso drinks, breads, cakes and cookies available all day, most of which are made using grains locally harvested and milled right there. There are some gluten free options available as well. At 11:30, their lunch menu is available and features sandwiches, soup and salads, all made from locally sourced, processed and grown Welsh foods. We were still finishing up our morning coffee, enjoying the chill vibe of the place (especially after the tour group moved on - haha!) by the time lunch was available, so we decided to stick around a little longer and try it out too! After much deliberation about how to best sample their offerings (everything sounded AMAZING), we opted for a soup/sandwich combo with the ham, cheese & mustard sandwich and fresh garden pea and mint soup, along with a "board" that included salad, two cheeses, local ham, an apple, fresh cherry tomatoes, house chutney and fresh bread. So simple, but so delicious!! We ate it ALL... I can't recommend enough the sheer quality of this real, simple but delicious local food. Other items to note: Credit cards require a £10 minimum charge. Locally made gifts and gourmet food items are available for purchase. Restroom entrance is in the courtyard, but there are public toilets in the adjacent building, facing the street as well. Free Wi-Fi. Check out the Talgarth Mill Craft Shop next door if you are looking for locally made Welsh treasures to take home. Free parking (and recycling drop-off) is available a couple of short blocks away, just off the highway. The Talgarth visitor's centre across the street is there for all kinds of information about the area, or, if you'd just like to converse with the friendly locals.

Experience at 10am on a Saturday…read more I visited the Green Bird Cafe in Bath after seeing all the glowing reviews, and to be fair, things started off well. The food was good, service was pleasant -- until the cafe got busy. That's when the experience soured. After finishing our meal, we were leisurely enjoying the last sips of our coffee, preparing to pay and leave. But instead of being allowed to finish on our own terms, we were asked -- quite bluntly -- to shuffle down across a table to make room for more customers. It was awkward, unnecessary, and frankly, made us feel like cattle being herded to optimise their table turnover. In all my years of dining, brunching, and travelling across multiple countries, I've never encountered a request like that in any cafe or restaurant. It completely undercut what was an otherwise good experience and left us with a bitter aftertaste -- quite literally and figuratively. To top it off, staff seemed to disappear when it came time to address the issue, save for one person who eventually surfaced to take some feedback. But by then, the damage was done. Sadly, I won't be returning. If the priority is quantity over quality of experience, I'd rather spend my time and money elsewhere.

3.5 stars, but I'm happy to bump it up to 4…read more I came here for a Christmas lunch get together with some friends and overall had a really enjoyable time. The only real negative is that I feel that everything was just outrageously overpriced, which took a lot away from the afternoon. I'll go into more detail... Atmosphere: The Green is a lovely refurbished pub, that is no longer a pub but a restaurant with a fancy wine list and coffee. It's not a very large restaurant - it's the size of maybe more of a small cafe than anything. The ceiling is pretty low, and the entire ambiance of the place has a very cozy feeling to it. Might get a bit cramped, but it certainly doesn't lack charm! Customer Service: They were lovely, but maybe just a tad bit disorganised and hectic. You order at the counter after noting your table number. When I got up to the counter, the woman was spending 5 minutes trying to get herself organised while I stood their looking a bit daft and aimless. A friend of mine ordered a cup of tea and never received it. Like I said, they were sweethearts but maybe just a tad bit disorganised. Food: I had a Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sandwich roll which is a seasonal special (for Christmas-time). It came with a side of slaw and salad leaves and it was very lovely! Really messy to eat and got my hands sticky for such a posh establishment, but tasty nonetheless. I also organised a side of sweet potato chips and blackcurrant cheesecake for dessert. The chips were maybe a tad bit over-salted, but they had a great texture to them. I also thoroughly enjoyed my dessert! All this, and a diet coke, set me back £10 which to be honest, I feel is a little bit overpriced. Although everything was lovely, the portions (bar the cheesecake) were really tiny and I left feeling still a tad bit hungry and unsatisfied. --- Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back to The Green. Nice atmosphere, great people, and great food. However, the price tag that goes along with it can't really justify a regular visit.
