Lovely hot chocolate and bacon/egg sandwich. They do more but that's all I wanted. Nice freshly made sandwich. Comfortable seating and very friendly atmosphere.

Never knew this little diamond was there. Popped in for a sandwich and was greeted by a lovely lady. Very tasty sausage & bacon sandwich.. Will visit again

This is a lovely little cafe that we found while passing through Pontypool. Irina is a lovely lady who cooks everything fresh daily, coffee and cake we ordered was lovely. it is also very dog friendly. Would recommend it and will call in again if we are in the area.

Lovely little cafe, greeted and order taken. No problem with me eating my own gluten free snack. Like most Coeliacs I usually have something in my bag to go with a coffee but not all cafés are happy for you to eat it. Really good coffee, my husband had a delicious iced expresso cake. Said goodbye to us which was great.

Reasonable prices, but the place feels cramped especially downstairs near the counter.

A lovely small cafe in the market square run by a lovely Russian lady who has class. we had her apple cake and lemon drizzle- both were of a high standard. Although being Russian she can make a really good cappuchino as well!

The Market Square Coffee House is a little gem. It is certainly the best place in the whole of Torfaen to have proper coffee and fresh home-made cakes and pastries. Having no blaring music is a bonus. The Russian lady owner is really lovely as well as very professional. A real one-off enterprise which deserves to thrive.
We discovered this place while passing through town. It is a fascinating local Coffee House in the middle of Wales in Pontypool. It is tenderly embracing local culture and traditions as well as tastefully blending them with a slight twist of Russian cuisine, which is very touching especially because Pontypool is situated just two miles down the road from a town called Sebastopol, named after a Russian city. Russian lady owner was very welcoming and served her local customers as well as us with affectional attention and care. The Café was elegantly decorated with some Russian memorabilia and nonetheless somehow it did not feel imposing, but fit very well with the local traditional style. As any coffee house, it would serve a wide variety of coffee as well as tea and delicious home-made cakes. Overall, we were thrilled by the experience of this café and its hospitable and very friendly owner.

Best muffins in the whole world! Home made of course and are just yummy!
