Located a 100 yards North from the entrance of Castell Coch. This forest hideaway serves a range of hot and cold SNACKS. *Caps necessary to ensure you don't expect poached eggs and hollandaise sauce (I was hungover and had a craving). Opt to sit inside near an open fire or outside where there is an abundance of plants and wildlife - there's even a neighbourhood Peacock! We had toast for two, coffee and a tea - served by their friendly staff which cost only a few pound. Next time as apposed to driving straight there I would choose to take on the Taff Trail ending at the Forest Tea Rooms as its apparent most use it as a post cycle / long walk reward.

One of the boys was shortchanged on buying a coke and when he pointed this out the staff were quite aggressive. He was also told he was not to sit down outsideI I was outside with another of the boys waiting to order (we did not know we had to go to the counter) and another waitress came out and told us we were not to sit there unless we ordered (we were going to anyway.) I can see where they are coming from but it costs nothing to smile and say good morning or 'can I get you something?' rather than being aggressive and rude. Won't go there again.

After wandering around for over half an hour searching for a good cafe we settled on this one…read more Thank goodness we did! It couldn't have been nicer and you'd go a long way to find more helpful people. Although there's a large range of baguette fillings on the huge wall board, you can request a different combination of your choice. My husband was able to choose various fillings for his baguette from the selections offered behind the glass counter. You can choose from different breads as well - oat, wholegrain, etc - and everything is freshly made in front of you by the staff wearing gloves. There are some hot meals available too - see the blackboard for daily specials - and you can have the baguette heated too. As I can't eat wheat, I asked if I could have a salad bowl (again,not on the menu) and I was able to choose what I preferred (coleslaw, grated cheese, tomato, cucumber, spiced rice, pineapple). Our meals were made (you get a lot for your money)and served quickly by friendly people. The coffees were excellent and everything came in lovely china. Everything is clean and attractive; there are lots of round tables to sit at inside but there are tables and chairs outside too, although they are at the side of the busy shopping street. Next time we're in Pontypridd we'll go straight back there!

I'm now utterly addicted to the finer things in life, and this is where I come to get my hit! The stuff that these guys do is equally as good as, if not better than what my stepfather used to make me... sorry Ray! You have got to try this place... it's a total must!

Although it's quite new, it already seems to have gained a good following, with plenty of people sat inside the window whenever I wander past. They sell cakes, tarts, savoury pastries, tea and coffee, and also make up fresh sandwiches - but it's their cakes that will be luring me back in through the door. They have a mouth-watering selection, but my favourites are the ones with crème pâtissière sandwiched between flaky pastry.
