  “I have spent so much time here the last couple of years. The coffee is the best in town, the service is always amazing, and I love the fact they have toys and books there to keep the kids entertained so I can FINALLY drink a hot drink while it's still hot! Love the art and crafts they have for sale there too, especially the handmade kids clothes. Plus they always have nappies and wipes and bags in the toilets which has saved me more than once in desperate times!! Absolutely one of my favourite places in Caerphilly!”

  “Heard good things about this cafe, and attended to feed our daughter and have a coffee. Started off okay until 2 people arrived with 2 dogs that constantly barked the whole time making our baby jump and cry. There is a sign outside saying we'll behaved dog welcome witch i think is great as dog owners ourselves but there dogs were not well behaved staff did nothing to speak to the owners to keep a harmonious environment. Owners did nothing to calm there dogs and it seemed that poorly behaved dogs are expected to be tolerated by other customers. We left half way through our coffee”

  “A lovely community cafe, with board games and incredibly welcoming staff. Really close to the castle and some local parks. Toilets have child sized toilet facilities and baby changing available a d there is an area for parents with babies and toddlers, so the kids can play safely. Dogs are wekcome too. All in all a really nice little cafe that I can't wait to visit again. The food and drinks were amazing too!”

  “A perfect place for a little bit of lunch or a cake and a cuppa, especially if you have young kids! The kids corner is perfect to keep little ones entertained. And the handmade baby clothes being sold are amazing, my daughter loves her new dungarees!”

  “A good place for a few hours with under 3's. Expensive but nice hot drinks. Small indoor play area for tots. Toilets not great. Seems accessible. Stilted atmosphere.”

  “The Old Library Community Cafe is a Cafe that I've been to a couple times now that I've been impressed with both times. To begin, they're located a short walk from Caerphilly Castle and right next to a gorgeous park. There's about 10/15 parking spots directly opposite the cafe shared with the adjacent park. Their selection of food, be it cakes or hot food is delicious. The few times I've been I have gone for their Bacon & Brie Panini - It comes piping hot, cheese properly melted with a side portion of crisps and their coffees are made perfectly. They have large wall full of books that you're able to take home whenever you like - but remember to swap it out with one of your own books! If you're visiting with kids there's a kids play area the opposite side of the cafe filled with activities to keep the little ones busy. They also support a small business 'Tiny Giraffe Crafts' within the cafe where you can browse a variety of bits and Bobs. Overall a lovely cafe with friendly staff, I'll defybe back!”

  “Nice little coffee shop next to Morgan Jones Park. Always grab a coffee and a Welsh cake in there before going to the park. It's split in two areas. One for families with small childer and the other which is normal (people not chasing kids around).”
