Lovely staff and a great little shop. The pasties were really good, but the bread was very disappointing, almost felt under kneaded/underdeveloped. Although it was edible, we threw the majority of it. We'll be back for the pasties but leave the bread.

Discovered this superb little cafe while staying in Kington and looking for a breakfast stop. It is tiny, only a couple of tables and six seats inside, and a couple more on the pavement, but what it lacks in size it certainly makes up for in other ways. They do a couple of set breakfasts at an excellent price, plus a wide range of breakfast rolls that you can basically design yourself, plus sandwiches, quiches, pizzas, pies and cakes etc, and their home-baked bread is to die for. Despite the name, the staff are friendly too! Highly recommended - the only drawback is that they are not open weekends!

Popped in for a quick lunch on the go from work and had always seen it on the side of the road but never went in. What an amazing place! Had a lovely pork roll and the best cherry and rhubarb slice I have ever had, would definitely recommend and will absolutely go back again. Really lovely staff as well!

Always fresh food, staff are lovely and the coffee is good. Very good value for money. Great for a proper big breakfast .?
I stopped early in Kington for breakfast on the way to Wales and was pleased to find this place open. It’s a bakery/ cafe/ sandwich shop with a couple of tables. I had a sausage breakfast roll and excellent coffee to start my day off perfectly.

First thing to say the owner is not grumpy! Despite the long hours that a bakery requires he is always cheery and polite. Responding to customers and the oven timers with equal patience and happiness. Fresh bread daily. Good choice of fillings - we were grabbing rolls to take walking, with other bits to put in a lunch box. One of our group also enjoyed a breakfast on the pavement seats one day. ALso a couple of seats inside, but most were taking out. Very popular with the local passing trades too. Rijo coffee machine at time of visit.

My wife and I were travelling from Gloucester to Wales, we had decided to stop for Breakfast around Hereford and stumbled on Grumpy Grampies, it is brilliant, the food is cooked fresh when you order it, it is delicious, the components of the breakfast that we had were high quality and very fresh, the bread is baked in store and is amazing. We were so impressed with the bread that we bought some along with a pork pie, a sausage roll and some pastries all of which had been made that day and tasted amazing. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit, even if you go out of your way, you will not be disappointed!

What a wonderful hidden gem. While waiting for Mother at the surgery, had a bit of a wander for a bite. We were ready to give up finding anything and came across Grampies. Wonderful rolls with freshly made bacon and sausage and the bread was top notch and freshly baked. 10 stars.
