Customer Review Summary

Coffee is the draw, with reviewers calling it lovely and excellent and singling out the flat white. A barista session covering espresso, flat whites and cappuccinos on a home machine earns praise for its hands-on teaching. One regular has ordered ground coffee for delivery for five years and describes the drop-offs as fast and friendly. Close behind is the all day coffee deal, which a few mention as a decent way to work from the cafe. Cakes, bags of beans to take home and a good range of wine also come up, and several describe the place as quirky, laid-back and a change from a chain. The main complaint is from one reviewer who was charged a different price from the one displayed in store and was not offered a refund when they challenged it. Another notes the stairs are very steep. Upstairs, reviewers describe sitting by the wood stove with a view of the trains going past.

Featured reviews

  • D Murphy
    “I was charged a different price for my (not particularly amazing) coffee from the one displayed in store. This is illegal. When I challenged this, I was not offered a refund. Hence, this place is not recommended.”
  • Tim Taylor
    “Went for a coffee. Bit different experience but good. Got a bag of beans for home. Loads of wine on offer, cool place if you don't want a chain”
  • Tom Baker
    “Been ordering my ground coffee from Little Man for 5 years. Great value, friendly and fast delivery - and the smell of freshly ground coffee in the house is always a delight.”
  • Steve Dimmick
    “A hidden gem, a well kempt secret, under the radar... Call it what you will, this place serves some of the best coffee in Wales. A flat white and a chat with Rob is a fine way to start your day.”
  • Andrew Bryan
    “That's quite possibly as unique a little coffee stop as I've seen around the world… True culture makers at work!”
