The owner is nice. The coffee's nice (no better, no worse). The home-made Bara Brith and other assorted cakes? Most accurately surmised as "nice". Last time I was in the Corner Cafe, the adjacent table was occupied by local Green Party representative, who was quietly discussing her plans to make the world a better place with her policy team (her mum, her uncle and her daughter, as far as I could make out). Ah, isn't that nice?

I was asked if I ever had a proper English breakfast so we came to this relatively new café that's…read moresix months old. I was introduced to Black Pudding, an acquired taste for even the English- pigs blood and intestines mashed into a hockey puck. I have nothing to compare it to but a taste of it was good for me. It was crispy, soft like pudding and a bit sweet. I opted for the tuna panini which was terrific. I read it came with chips which I figured were fries but got actual potato chips which was fine I guess. Michael said his All Day Breakfast was spot on except for the sausage which he described as cheap or watery. The other lads said there's were fine and devoured it spite being hung over. Before breakfast I asked to walk past the gates to witness the sprawling fields. I was welcomed with a bit of apprehension and took a few photos as you may see. Apparently no one asks to go back into the farm. I breathed in the cool air and appreciated the beauty of the English horizon. I was met by the owner, Bill Williams, in a tractor who stopped me to have a bit of a chat. He is a funny man when he said the view was "alright" and there wasn't much to see. I learned the farm was 400 acres and how he had a kick travelling the California coast line several years ago. When I return to Chester I will be sure to come back and eat here and say hello.

The cakes, tea and coffee are the perfect pick-me-up in the afternoon, when you're ready to get out of the car for a bit or to recover after your day of trekking.

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.

What a beautiful place! Magical…read more Stumble on it as you travel from Carmarthen to Cardigan just after Newcastle Emlyn. The shop/cafe is right on the road guarding the entrance to the car park next to the falls by the bridge. Have a full breakfast and ask to take your laden plateful down to the waters edge or use one of the picnic tables nestling in the wooded slope. The food is cafe style - straight forward - coffee is instant so don't get too exited by the idea of a Costa style Americano - this is getting back to nature stuff. Either pay £2 for the car park here or scoot round to the other side of the river and turn down the road by the Three Horseshoes Inn, hoping to find a free car park space down on the right (if lucky as only a few)- absolutely gorgeous spot frequented by salmon fishermen and happy watchers. Get your walking boots on and tramp upstream if the fancy takes you and you have more time - or just laze around for a bit and then head off to Cardigan (maybe stopping at Cilgerran Castle for spectacular views over the gorge). A couple of other spots in the village might be worth poking your head around, like the pub and the local antiques center and nearby cheese factory, again if you have time. Recommended location. Hope this is useful.

The best English Breakfast in the UK…read more In fact it won the Mirror Best Cafe in Britain award in 2006. This isnt just any old Truckers Cafe it also attracts Familys and local's for a good selection of hearty home cooked, great british Grub. Not only are the breakfasts well worth a try (be warned they are belly busters!) they also do a Fantastic Roast Dinner, which also comes with Chips if your extra hungry! It's all homemade, nothing out of the packet, the Gravy is like your mum makes and the Chips are good old fashioned cut potatoes and not frozen. The Decor isnt fancy or anything to shout home about, but with food as good as this it doesnt need to be its just big bulky tables and an assortment of odd chairs but it works! For Truckers its ideal, they have Shower facilities on site and a Huge Car Park and right next to a petrol station so you have everything you need for an overnight stay. Try it, you wont be dissapointed. Such great Value and Mega Size portions that'll make you want to go back every time you pass!

It is signposted but the roads are very quiet on the way up and horses on the road are a regular occurance so be aware.

That said this does come at a price so be prepared a little more. This centre is ideal for Welsh gifts and you will find lots of locally crafted goods and occasional demonstations here. The place has a lovely warm feel to it and you could spend hours browsing this small but well filled store.
