  “A great place to get really good coffee from at 8am in the morning, which is brilliant! The staff are always so friendly, helpful and prepared to have a chat! Well done Ann, Lydia, Mollie and Summer, good work!”

  “Their coffee was delicious I really enjoyed eating the almond croissant alongside it. And their sandwiches are all quite tasty and available to go too which is a nice bonus.”

  “Dropped in on our way out of town. Had us two good flat whites and a warm cinnamon bun and a cookie. Sat out front and watched the world go by.”

  “We were looking for somewhere open in the week between Christmas and New Year after a walk round the Lawns. Found Mabel’s. Had to sit outside as inside was full so a bit cold but lovely coffee and the best almond croissant I have tasted so it was worth it. Also friendly service so I would recommend Mabel’s.”

  “I came here because on google maps it says they have waffles, went in to realise there were no waffles. We were completely lied to. The food was mediocre at best. We had the almond croissant and the cinnamon bun. They said they would heat it up but when biting into it, it was completely cold and soggy. The cinnamon bun was the worst I’ve ever had, the coffee was bad too, it felt very low quality and we didn’t finish it. The only good thing was the drinks that came in a bottle so they didn’t even make it. There’s also no toilet. There was no place to park but we managed to find a coop car park nearby. It is dog friendly which is good. Won’t be coming here again, too expensive for the quality.”

  “I visited this afternoon for a quick coffee and a piece of cake. The coffee was average, pretty weak and looked more like murky water than americano. The cake looked nice but it was rock hard and super sweet. Shame because I'm not far and was hoping to have a decent coffee shop nearby.”

  “Love this little cafe! Was looking to find a regular coffee spot after so many local coffee shops have been shut in town so it was nice to have this spot. Nice selection of pastries as well as drinks, my favourite is a Hazelnut Latte and the Mango and Pear-adise smoothie! Lovely vibes, music is always great to listen to whilst doing my work, and staff are always helpful and great company! Huge shout to Shreeka! Served me really nice coffee + a cute latte with a smiley which is always a plus Deffo coming back and would highly recommend!”

  “Had heard good things about Mabels.but was really disappointed. I was hoping sandwiches would be freshly made but it was the standard coffee shop chilled selection. I had a tuna melt which was the worst I had ever had. Bread was like rock and the filling tasted like vinegar..thin, runny and unpleasant to taste. My partner asked if there was a toilet and told no...I get there is no legal requirement for a small cafe but the staff member made no effort to help or suggest somewhere to go (presumably staff use somewhere). In fact she was more interested in playing on her phone than helping us. There are much better cafes in Old Town...we won't be back to this one.”

  “I've visited Mabel's a few times over the last year. It's conveniently located on the corner of Newport Street and Devizes Road. They've great tasting coffee, and wow, a superb Pain au Raisin - tried one today and loved it. A flat white and my treat cost a reasonable £5.40 I used the conveniently located on-Street parking across the road. Just be aware the coffee shop is card only. Definitely recommend and will continue to visit both here and their sister shop in Tadpole.”
