I’ve been coming here for many years and it’s brilliant in every way. Everything on the Welsh and English menu is genuinely homemade with no compromise on quality, flavours and portion sizes. No trip Wales is complete without a visit to Moira and her team,...even if you have a travel all the way from Slough - like my 85yr old dad! He recommends the lamb steak followed by the most divine rice pudding he’s ever eaten!More

Perfect welcome to some hungry tourists. The complainer in our group had absolutely nothing to complain about! Items substituted to suit individuals and the quality of the food used is superb. The customer service is faultless, you are left feeling like you are dining with...friends. Excellent value.More

We met up as a small group of 6. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel really welcome. There was a lot of banter and laughter between us all and the lady in charge - she treated us like friends instead...of customers! The food was absolutely delicious, great Welsh cuisine, and really good value. We live in Burry Port, and often go to Carmarthen, but have never seen this great cafe before. We’ll definitely be going back, and recommending it to all our friends!More

Visited this place many times, all staff are very polite and courteous, good choice menu, plenty of seating. A family run cafe of many years and the food is just as good now as it was many years ago. Highly recommended.

We looked online for restaurants in Carmarthen and were a little non-plussed by this one - what was it offering?. While walking round the city we came across it by accident and decided to take a chance. BTW it's not easy to find - it's...upstairs above an (?) estate agents. But we weren't disappointed. They were very welcoming and helpful, The food was all home cooked and very "Welsh", including laverbread. We chose the cockles (which were delicious and locally sourced) and faggots and mushy peas (with great chips) which we haven't had since we were kids - but it was delicious. They then tempted us with quite delicious desserts - we chose chocolate and orange cheesecake with cream - fabulous! If we lived locally (we live in London) we'd be regulars. Great job by the cooks and FOH staff. Thank you for a great experience and as we said, very good value.More

After driving around for ages, trying to find somewhere to accommodate our party of 10 for a full, cooked breakfast and failing miserably, my husband spoke to the owner here who was so lovely and helpful. Delicious, fresh food, ordered from a varied and very...reasonably priced menu. Parking nearby, cash only, plenty of seating up 2 small flights of stairs, toilets, great observation of Covid safety guidelines and wonderfully accommodating staff: we'll be back!More

This is a very nice place to try welsh food. As a group of people learning welsh it was a good place to go. People were very helpful and kind, the place is spotless, and the food was very tasty. I cannot recommend it enough.

As a group of Welsh learners 11 in number, we were delighted to find somewhere to eat where the menu was in Welsh (as well as English in case you need it) as well as the staff being Welsh speakers. They accommodated us brilliantly, speaking...Welsh understanding our purpose in being there - as well as to eat. And the eating - it was the best lunch out I have had in years. Everyone of us raved about our food. For me - Penclawdd cockles, laver bread and bacon. Unbelievably good. A number of us use the M4 regularly so will be making a detour into Caerfyrddyn to eat. 10/10. Diolch yn fawr.More

The place to go for laverbread. This has become a 'must go to' place when we are in Carmarthen visiting family. Highly recommend the laverbread with cockles on toast & chips. Served with builder's tea or coffee of course.
