Walked in without our dogs, asked if dogs were welcome and told yes. There were 10 people and 4 well behaved dogs. We went in and sat down and a unpleasant man came out of the kitchen shouting at us and I do mean shouting "no way, no way" and told us to leave. Obviously we took our spend of over £140 elsewhere.

Poor service, high prices, no clean plates so some service was refused!

My wife and I didn't get as far as ordering anything in this 'interesting' establishment.We walked into the cafe area to be glared at by a young water who muttered at us to order at the servery. At this, a waitress walked over there, we presumed to serve us. She proceeded to ignore us and have a conversation with her colleague essentially about what she had done in the toilet! Needless to say we went elsewhere and won't be returning!

I have never witnessed such an embarrassing display of foul mouthed bullying in my life. Streams of four letter abuse aimed at two young girls who were trying to work there. Not even worth mentioning the food and drink which must be the worst in Hay. The manager/owner (?) is a public disgrace - so many people left offended or fed up of waiting - by his tirades - a shameful establishment that needs closing down. No young person should be abused like my wife and I witnessed today in a bustling bank holiday Monday. (the star is obligatory and not deserved by this intimidating tyrant)

Went to Hay for the festival this weekend. Stopped for a coffee while strolling round the town. Sat outside - tables hadn't been cleared so we just moved the dishes to the next table. Ordered 2 hot drinks and 2 sift drinks. Waited about 20 minutes. Went in to make sure we hadn't been forgotten about and was literally shouted at by the lady behind the counter! Not sure if I was afraid or insulted or both. Gent at the table next to us asked for a refund because he was fed up of waiting. No idea what the delay was. There were only a few people inside who were already eating. Drinks arrived - OK but not really worth the wait. Wldnt recommend.

Needed a place to sit and have a bite to eat and drink whilst popping in and out of all the bookshops. We had paninis' and they were delicious ? I also had an iced coffee, which was very refreshing and well needed! Cosy and very comfortable place to stop and get a bite to eat and drink. 10/10 would recommend ??

What a strange little place. Don't know if it's a café, a tat shop or a what. Bizarre sofas laid out like a charity furniture store, with an odd array of random things for sale. Funny how all of the other cafés were packed out and this one was empty. Probably because of the indigenous man who just wants someone to talk to. Top tip - find a different toilet! ?

What a welcoming place. We turned up en masse (11) and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Wonderful service and good food. My scone was superlative :-)

A below average service,with above average prices. Beware don’t let the curb side Al fresco format fool you. Latte coffee served in a paper cup. Jacket potato served without its crispy jacket.
If your going to charge top prices for coffee and a panini, at least serve it on a plate, with proper cutlery and proper mug instead of disposal utensils, cups and plates. Also bad for the environment. Panini was pretty poor too, coffee was ok. Try somewhere else.

Overpriced for coffee and cake which was pretty average - more like London prices and no toilet facilities - have had plenty of time to get the latter !sorted

Started off good - staff friendly. Very basic food arrived on paper plates, soup in cardboard bowl, and coffee in paper cups. Considering the price of the food and drink it, we at least expected crockery. We sat outside (thankfully) as inside was akin to a storage unit with boxes piled here and there. The toilets were absolutely disgusting!!! Overflowing waste bins, toilet stained, walls stained, sink dirty. It doesn't take much to keep a place clean and tidy - especially food premises!! Please don't bother as there are so many better places in Hay.
