I wanted to try some Welsh food before we left. I had looked up what I needed to try and found…read moreSnails deli had them. It was early so I was a little worried they would only be serving breakfast but I was so happy when they said I could get what I wanted. I wanted the Welsh Rarebit and the Glamorgan sausages. I had never tried either before. The Welsh Rarebit was amazing. Thick bread and the cheese mixture was so good. I could have eaten it all. I may have to try to make it when I go home. I had no idea what to expect with the Glamorgan sausages. No meat. Just cheese, leeks and breadcrumbs deep fried. I tried it and for Americans, it tasted just like Thanksgiving stuffing! Good, homemade thanksgiving stuffing. It was a surprise. Really good. My friend got scrambled eggs and toast. She liked it. She also got an iced coffee that she loved. The ladies working were wonderful and we chatted about our trip. They were on top of everything. It was such a cute place. Well worth the drive out of city center.

I only very recently discovered this brilliant little Rhiwbina establishment and am already…read moreplanning my next visit. Firstly I ate in the café with a group of friends, and as our table appeared to resemble a giant mushroom, I must admit I felt slightly like a snail. We were all rather naughty and ordered some cakes; I had a lemon drizzle cake, which was utterly to die for though I think I may need to make a few trips to the gym before ordering it again. I'm a big fan of delis so was very excited to check this one out. They sold a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta, fresh bread, and some incredibly unusual spices which we were aloud to try out. I purchased some olives which whilst weren't the best I've ever had (nothing could compete with fresh olives in Italy), were jolly good. Sticking with the French theme Snails also offers weekly French conversations, which I'm told are very popular. A Fabulous cafe and deli, Snails is a real little treat for locals and those visiting the area, oh and be sure to check out their little garden outside (very cute).

By far the best thing ever about being a bridesmaid was getting to visit cake shops all over the…read moreplace and sample the goods. This place lived up to all my dreams of cakemaking. It was like going to that place on that Sky Tv programme where they make those amazing cakes in America. I was salivating as I looked through the catalogue. The selection was just amazing and the samples tasted as good as the cakes looked. Sadly they cost more than the Hen could afford so I never got to taste any more.

I was very pleased by the whole ordering process, I chose to have a cake that was based on one they had previously made but adapted to suit my individual needs. However if you have a particular idea in mind they're usually very accommodating and up for a challenge. The cakes aren't cheap (mine cost £40) but it truly looked incredibly. My friends were all most impressed and it was absolutely scrumptious! Word of warning though, allow plenty of time to place your order, as they tend to be very popular.

The best parts are the toasted fruit loaf, and the toasted sandwiches, the downfall is the soup is not hot enough and always needs a little salt and pepper, the prices are way too high and is not opened Sunday. which to me is silly as this is a heritage town with views of the castle opposite yet they close on a busy Sunday. I think the prices need to come down slightly, and more people will go in, but with greggs opening up next door and taking a majority of the rolls pasties and hot take away drinks off them I can see them starting to struggle.
