Little Gem tucked away in the local Gallery. Amazing food. Caters for many dietary requirements. Highly recommended. And the foccacia toasties are amazing.

Had a coffee outdoorsTable covered in dust. No contact details taken ' if needed? Coffee was OK but too cool for my taste.

I have been to the Oriel Cafe before in fact quite a few times but mostly morning and lunch time. Today myself and my aunty of 83 called in at 3.35. i asked if they were shutting and she said at 4pm. I then thanked her and ordered tea and a coffee. The whole time it was an unpleasant experience she cleary didnt want to serve me. Admittedly the reason was in the middle of the room sitting around a table were her friends or family? The drinks were thrown down with no eye contact or any words spoken. It was an unpleasant experience as up till then had always told people to call in if they were in Newtown. wont be going again and will not be recommending. Such a young girl but really does need to learn customer service is with a smile!

We have enjoyed Relish Cafe for three months, treated ourselves across the range of dishes and cakes they offer. This Chef produces wonderful tasty food with skilful excellence. We are looking forward to next weeks Newtown Food Festival where Relish have an evenings meal slot.

Meal was ok, but very basic ingredients meant it was nothing special. As others have stated above, a smile and a little friendliness wouldn't go amiss either. I went to the counter, said hello, smiled and ordered but was met as if I was a nuisance with a bad smell. Said goodbye as I left but was totally ignored. It's an okay place, but just to refuel, not to enjoy. What a shame. This used to be so nice and still has the potential to be, but I don't think they care

Pleased to say the restaurant is still very good after the change in management. Menu has changed and is still very good.

Had many nice meals at the Gallery cafe but taking friends their last Friday i found it a little disappointing. I can understand the menu is much more limited than it used to be but the portions also seemed a little smaller. Salad leaves don't cost that much and just a few more would have enhanced the meal. My taste buds may not be as good as they were but when I asked for more salad dressing I was told rather abruptly that dressing was already added. Well that told me! As curator at a local Museum I always recommend Relish to our tour groups and I hope this experience was just a one off but can I say to the staff please remember you are running a business and rely on your customers so maybe smile even if you are having a bad day.

The cafe has plenty of home-made cakes and light meals like delicious salads for a mid-morning snack or a lovely lunch with friends or a loved one. There is an outside eating area, bright and comfortable, with a view over the park. The service is good and the inside space is pleasant and clean. I can vouch for great coffee and hot chocolate.
One of the few places in Newtown where you can get a consistent well made coffee. The staff understand the process of how coffee needs to be made, unlike many of the other Newtown cafes which quite regularly fall short. On the occasion that I visited the scone was very unpleasant. Stodgy and bland, lacking any flavour, a ball of dough in my mouth with an after taste of uncooked flour at the end. A welcome to customers upon arrival would also be nice.

Love coming here. Some of the healthiest and tastiest home cooked food in town ?
