Whenever I am in Cwmbran shopping I always stop off at the Cafe Venetian for a delicious…read morebaguette,coffee and a cake. The cafe is situated right in the town centre so its ideal for a relaxing sit down when you have been shopping all day!! They have a good menu with plenty of choice,not just baguettes but jacket potatoes,soup,paninis,pasta dishes and freshly made sandwiches.Whilst sat at your table you can see a vast range of very tempting homemade cakes,pastries,fresh cream tarts,banoffee pie etc and if that did not take your fancy they also have real Italian ice cream in mouthwatering flavours.Cafe Venetian is definitely the best place to eat in Cwmbran because they serve great food and the service is first class.

Definitely NEVER going to this place again. The man who served us (I think the owner?) was abrupt…read morein taking our order, to the point of impatience. Then we were asked to take a seat and told he'd bring it over to us, so we chose the mezzanine area (a raised area adjoining the hot drink preparation area). All the tables were so dirty we had to use a wet wipe to clean the table (we would have walked out at this point, but we'd already paid for our drinks). Then, when our order was called, instead of being served at our table as we'd been told, our hot coffee was lifted on a tray, over a high wall that separated the kitchen area - EXTREMELY dangerous as (1) there were tables directly below it - thankfully the little girl who'd been there 5 minutes before had left (2) I'd ordered a latte, which came in a tall glass... It is pure luck that the drink didn't topple over ....(and result in boiling hot coffee going all over me). Avoid it. Serious health and safety issues.

This Starbucks in Cwmbran serves good coffee and nice cakes as you would expect from any Starbucks…read more It is not cheap. Sandwiches are around £3-4 and cakes are around £2-3, but this is no different in any Starbucks. What is a shame about this one is that is doesn't look like as much money has been spent on making this coffee shop an enjoyable atmosphere compared to Starbucks in Cardiff. The shape of the coffee shop is basic and Square, and there is not much to look at inside. It feels like a watered down Starbucks!

A friend introduced me to this place and I've never stopped going back. Think of the quintessential…read moreEnglish Tea Room, put it next to a small beck in the middle of the English countryside, with a garden overlooking the Somerset Levels, with Glastonbury Tor on the horizon. 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!
