Cafes in Lydney

“Lovely cafe, we had a milkshake and burrito. Very tasty, fast and friendly service. We will be back :-)”

“Really great tasting coffee in a lovely environment! However, I have to say that although many of the cakes are excellent, they have not changed in a really long time so they have become a bit boring- would really love a bit more variation.”

“Lovely little coffee shop, deceptively small but outdoor seating available, food freshly cooked, would happily visit again”

“Lovely little cafe, with lovely staff and great food! I love popping in at break time and can highly recommend the cheese ploughman’s & chips! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! Keep up the good work ladies, Luce x”

“Concept: My latest non-working weekday was on 09/06 when I returned from holidays in Cyprus. I needed urgently a short break. I asked leave on 15/08, did my weekly shopping, cooked spaghetti, and had some rest. On 16/08, I woke up early with positive mood to visit Lydney. I left Newport at 10:11 and arrived in Lydney at 11:30. I walked to the town centre. Before starting taking photos the amazing landscapes, I needed breakfast and coffee.
Timing of visit: Saturday 16/08, 12:05-12:40.
Order: A cappuccino, a tomato/cheese/onion toastie and a Victoria sponge cake.
Price: £13.75.
Quality of coffee: Excellent (7*).
Quality of toastie: It was so so so so ... good (8*).
Quality of cake: Perfect (7*).
Method of payment: Debit card.
Staff: Welcoming, attentive, enthusiastic (7*).

“We visited the Harbour today and obviously it was absolutely boiling hot. It was very busy with many people likely to buy food from the cafe. There was absolutely no shade whatsoever so people with young children couldn't stay and sit in the full sun. I went in to use the toilets and saw to my astonishment some very large green table umbrellas rolled up unused. I think on the hottest day of the year the umbrellas would have been very useful and helpful, more customers would have stayed and the cafe would have made more profit.”

“Came here this morning for breakfast while staying in local motel. 4 of us in total. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed so our small Cocker Spaniel had
to stay in the car opposite in the square. Friendly attentive member of staff took our order and our food was soon presented to us at our table. Our breakfast was freshly prepared, very well presented & very tasty. Although parking isn't the best, they are well worth visiting to start the day off. Would definitely go again!!!”

“A lovely little coffee shop. We had a fabulous Brie & cranberry panini with a fresh, crispy side salad & a little jug of dressing.....just yummy.
The coffee/tea is always fab too.
Their array of cakes look amazing.
The service is always wonderful & the staff are super friendly.
It's a little bit tucked away but I recommend you find it. ?”

“Absolutely lovely cafe. Small but lovely atmosphere with brilliant food, lovely service and one of the best gingerbread lattes I’ve ever had. Would happily come here again when I’m back in the area!!”
