This is a fantastic shop and well worth a look round. There are so many dried fruits, nuts, sweets…read moreand other confectionery (including sugar-free) to choose from! Great for juices, non-alcoholic wine and flavoured instant coffees, too. What I especially liked were the lovely tall jars (in wonderful shapes) of flavoured olive oils, and vinegars, and the ones stuffed with colourful chillies, star fruits, and cherries. I couldn't believe they were from £3.69 to £5.19 - they look more expensive. Perfect for beautiful and unusual gifts for Christmas!! A pleasant, friendly lady serving who was offering everyone a free small glass of Rochester's Non-Alcoholic Ginger Wine - which naturally I had to have! (There was a special offer of 3 for £10.00). It's great to look out for their monthly special offers. There's a small selection of nice china as well. Strongly recommended altogether!

A great, small, branch of this shop, which sells confectionery, dried fruits and nuts, grains and…read morepulses, and non-alcoholic wines and punches. Unfortunately they haven't the space to sell some of the lovely range of gifts which the sister shop in Swansea sells, like china and bottled and favoured oils and vinegars. Friendly staff. In the main pedestrianised area of Neath, so no parking.

A nice vegetarian cafe with quite a bit of choice. It's self service and there's usually a queue so…read moreyou have to make your mind up quite quickly (which isn't always easy!) I wish they'd do waitress service. However, one good thing is that you can point at exactly the things you'd like, and, if you choose to add salads, you can fill your plate as full as you like for no extra charge. For example, today I had the bean burger (which was large) with lots of curried rice and green salads, tomatoes, red cabbage and coleslaw - all for £4.75. It was all delicious too. They have soya milk too which is an advantage to vegans and many vegetarians (like myself). Some nice cakes too. I have found some of the staff a little off-hand in the past but the lady who served me today was really friendly. UPDATE NOVEMBER 2008: We got there very early but there was still a long queue. I think there should be more people serving or else go over to waitress service (as I said before). The lentil shepherds pie, and the spinach quiche and lots of different salads were delicious. I really recommend the food here though the coffees could be a little better and the 'large' latte isn't that large.

I really enjoyed my lunch at the Waverley. Lots of choice and delicious. There is also a shop that…read moresells fresh fruit and veg and veggie products. Meat eaters will probably enjoy their lunch here as well.

Great smoothies freshly made to take away too and friendly student staff. We always buy from here when we're on campus!
