And they open at 7:30am (at least on the day when we needed some really good coffee before hitting the road). They also make heavenly Welsh cakes. As we walked in that morning we also bought a small bag of them for our trip. Warm and friendly people, great coffee, and great Welsh cakes. Highly recommended.

This little bakery was jammed with all kinds of bread, pastries and cookies. I selected a sticky bun type of thing with raisins and currants as well as a chocolate chip cookie. Both were fantastic. If I could have eaten more, I would have ordered 1 of everything. It all looked very good. The service is excellent, with a bunch of ladies exuding classic English charm. Very pleasant and helpful.

Everything is made fresh every day, and every lunch time there is a queue out of the door. Service is pretty fast as it's over the high, goody-filled counter, but it's always polite. The BLT sandwiches are salty and full of awesome, the fresh cream cakes are hard to resist, and the custard slices are cut far more neatly than mine at home. I'm not particularly fond of the chocolate numbers myself, if I'm tempted, I go for the rhubarb and cherry slices (super moist), and things like the Belgian buns are pretty snazzy too. A couple of things worth noting are- They have a slicing machine- so if there's any loaves you want, but are only capable of cutting diagonal doorsteps at home, they can deal with it. If you want a hot sausage or bacon sandwich for example, you're possibly going to have a little wait as they like to cook things fresh. If you ring in advance, you can avoid standing in the corner by the fridge of drinks for a short while.

In a small rectangular space within the industrial environs of the Baltic triangle, Sam and Grace Henley offer a range of artisan breads made with organic Shipton Mill flour, counter top French, Italian and Spanish pastries, one of the nicest granolas I've ever tasted (with banana and yoghurt) and breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches. Two varieties of Has Been coffee are available by the pot and so seriously does this place take its brewing method that the coffee even comes with a timer!

The first restaurant we spotted down the street, after we were given freedom from our tour group,…read morecraving for some British style sandwiches, was Y Pantri. The slices of ham and salad fixing inside the glass case looks very inviting. But the lady behind the counter, was stressing me out, to go have a seat. We're not even sure, if we want to eat here . . . . Does it hurt you too much, to admire what else you have to offer, so we know what to order? Looking at the food in person, gives customers more an idea what they're about to eat, rather than staring at a black & white piece of paper, without photo! Still debating, once again, I continue to browse and droll over the deli glass case, thinking to myself: 'do I want the ham or do I want the turkey, eggs, or is there anything more I'd like with that . . . do we want to eat here, or go elsewhere' and she repeated, I go & have a seat, and I will let them know what I WANT. Like I said, I felt pressured, the reason why the 3 stars! Hubby had the turkey on white bread with lettuce & mayo with a small side of salad. He also ordered a small regular salad which contained: green olives, lettuce, beets, cucumber slices, red onions, kernel corn, coleslaw, shredded carrots, & slices of tomatoes, which to me WAS too much! I had the sliced ham with a side of lettuce & tomatoes. I asked for pickles, but none came. Both sandwiches were very good, and we both helped each other with the side salad, choices of dressing on another table (behind me). The bathroom, was very tight, but it was OK, there's only one.

So it was a surprise to discover the food was pretty good. I ordered at the deli, which I'm not sure if this is common practice or not, then took a seat at a table in the backroom along with a fair amount of patrons, many who seemed like locals. Or they were just really friendly, many talking to each other amongst a variety of tables throughout the room. I wanted a light meal and ordered what is considered a traditional Welsh Cheese sandwich on what turned out to be a lightly-buttered roll. It was simple and good, though the bread choice wasn't what I was expecting. Thinking of the higher amount of carbs. Keeping with the theme, I ordered a traditional pot of tea which always comes with a side of cream. One of the people sitting near me had a Chicken Tikka Pastry, which looked like one of those yummy raspberry pastries ... the raspberry compote poking its head out. But it was filled with a Chicken Tikka concoction, and looked and smelled pretty good. The treat here, also a surprise, was the tasty Welsh Cake. I had asked if they had scones, since I was on the hunt for scones and clotted cream. Instead, they recommended this traditional cake, which is more of a flattened scone, and harder, but just as yummy. Like a scone, you can add butter, jam or whipped cream. Most places, I discovered, don't serve clotted cream, but whipped cream. The owners are very friendly and offer a variety of deli-style sandwiches and traditional Welsh (British) dishes.
