  “Wanted to go there for a really long time as everyone was saying that this place is a “must go “. I decided to leave a review based on a few factors: Location The place is not the best located and the parking is limited but ,I have to admit ,it has nearby parking which is not that bad ,so overall location,I would say it is okay. 4/5 Atmosphere/ Space The place seems very small and a bit crowded in my opinion as it wants to feel cozy but ,for myself ,the tables are a bit too close .3/5 Food As you can see in the pictures, the food looked amazing but tasteless. What really disappointed me was that the bacon and sausages were pre-cooked which it is not something that I was expecting to receive, The ingredients don’t feel premium and what put me off ,was the fact that the food was pre-cooked (A big no FOR MYSELF ) The taste was not great either . 2/5 Pricing The pricing (which didn’t bothered me at the beginning )was too high for what it offered. Almost £6 for a coffee (with oat milk and vanilla flavour) I think it is a bit overpriced . The breakfast in the skillet was not worth the money either . I don’t mind paying for quality, but in here wasn’t the case. 2/5 Staff/service Staff seemed friendly but seems like in a constant rush and trying to put pressure on customers to eat their food and go.3/5 Overall experience I wanted to try it as everyone was hyped about this place but it seems that if you have a good marketing team and advertise a lot , it won’t matter what you serve to people . My opinion way overrated and not worth it . I think there are more local coffee shops/restaurant out there that don’t have a strong marketing (social media posts ) that are far better than here Just my honest opinion based on my personal experience.”

  “As it was the week for Abi’s to have free coffees, I had to come to grab one! The server was patient for me to choose a coffee as there’s so much choice. My friend and I both ordered the glow bowls which were served in these cute wooden bowls, very aesthetic. The atmosphere was cosy and pleasant with nice music playing in the background. Looking forward to coming back soon!”

  “What a unique little place, loved the atmosphere, the decor and the food was plentiful, good quality and delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had a basic breakfast which was huge and they actually do an XXL, my husband had scrambled egg and beans on toast with cheese and chives. The breakfast served in a frying pan, the mini milk churns and mini shovels as teaspoons were such a novel touch. We look forward to returning 💓 We did return but they do not accept cash, so will not return”

  “This was our second visit, after the first one a few months ago wasn't great. We decided that we would give it another go, and so glad we did. We were seated quite quickly after grabbing a coffee and waiting on the sofas. Coffee was much hotter this time but disappointed that they charge extra for Decaf. And Over £9 for 2 coffees. Food this time was absolutely delicious although a little pricey, but happy to pay if it's good. Unfortunately again we weren't asked if everything was to our liking, and that to me is not good restaurant etiquette. On the way out we got to chat with Claire who was front of house/manager I'm assuming for that day and we explained about our previous visit. She was interested in our comments. We will definitely visit again as we need to try the pancakes, they look absolutely amazing. Fingers crossed for our next visit.”

  “This has always been the best brunch spot around and have visited here loads over the last 5 years. Recent experience has not been so great. I know they’ve expanded and that usually comes with some kind of standard loss but this seems a little worse. There are a lot of things out of the cafes control (seating space, price increases staffing shortages) but a few little icks I had today. It’s very expensive but personally i will always pay whatever if the food is to a good standard but it isn’t anymore here. The sausage Pattie’s and cheap frozen ones, a cup of tea with a dirty glass is £3.50 (coffee I can understand being £4/£5 a cup but builders tea never!) had the egg stack and added hollandaise (shame they took the bennies off menu) so this was £17. It got served with freezing cold hollandaise when it should be slightly warm not as if it’s been pulled straight from fridge. And one of my eggs was missing a yolk completely. It was placed underneath the other egg on one piece of bread to me it seemed like it tried to get hidden which I don’t really understand. They also didn’t make it spicy when it was clicked to be added on the mobile order. I did raise it with waitress who was Lovely. I asked her to take the plate instead of just bringing me and egg on a separate plate. It came back with a ton of chillie sauce on the plate (was a lot more than they usually put on not sure if this was done on purpose or not) which is frustrating as I was in a fair position to ask for my egg and the forgotten chillies and I was polite and had no issues with waitress. Over £40 for 2 people for a sub standard brekkie. Disappointing as this use to be the best place and I would always recommend.”

  “Up there as one of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had! Arrived around 11:15 to a fully packed cafe. Server asked us to scan the QR code at the entrance and that we could get a text when our table was ready. Said would roughly be 20 mins. So we sat back in the car and no more than 5 minutes later we had notification 😊 Incredible service from start to finish! We can't wait to visit again!”

  “I had a great brunch last Friday. Lots to choose from with tasty & creative monthly specials. Loved the Welsh theme they had in March, championing the fantastic produce we have here in Wales! I went for the Mount Snowdon special and a lovely blackberry iced matcha. The front of house staff were also great and Jo & Brit were super friendly & attentive. Da iawn team Haystack 💫💜🙏🏽”
