Rude staff. We arrived at the same time as another couple so the cafe was busy. The waitress looked unimpressed that she had to wait to get past us. We ordered two breakfasts, a latte and an Americano. When the drinks came, there was two lattes so we informed the waitress one latte was supposed to be an Americano. Instead of changing this, she argued that we said we wanted the same when ordering. We said we wanted the same breakfast, not the same drink and proceeded to give separate drinks orders. We clearly said Americano. It's not a problem that she got the order wrong, what was a problem is the attitude she portrayed. We certainly will not be back again, there are other cafes in the area that are super friendly with good food.The food was okay, but your attitudes let you down.

Allowed variance from the standard menu and the bacon was the best I've tasted for years. Lovely cafe, good value, great food.

Lovely , friendly little cafe. Food was excellent and staff friendly and polite. Although we had no dog with us, I noticed that dogs were welcome.

What a lovely little café? A friend and I came for the day to see a friend who lives in Welshpool and popped to this café. It's fairly clean, tidy and the staff are friendly. If I pop to Welshpool again in the future, I'll definitely pop in. ?

Fantastic breakfast! It's been a long time since I found a place I genuinely could not fault. The food came out piping hot, in good time and was good value. I don't understand what more you could want! Keep up the amazing work!

There are other cafes in the area and they must be better than this one.We ordered a couple of toasties but a group that came in and ordered after us, got their food before us.The hot chocolate was watery. The milkshake was the power form from the supermarket with cream on it but at a crazy price and the toastie was more bread than any ingredients.Yet it all looked great though.But the bill was definitely not worth it. Also there is only 1 toilet so you'll be waiting if it's busy.Don't expect service with a smile either.I'd go elsewhere if I were you, they look busier for a reason! If you do go here, I hope you have a better experience than we did.Good luck.

We'd booked in at the Welshpool Steam Railway and had some time before our train. This place provided a good coffee stop. I had a Latte and a Scone which came with clotted cream, jam and a fresh strawberry - delicious. My wife had tea and toast with an added treat of Marmite! Service was OK, pleasant enough.

Stopped at The Tuck Box for breakfast on our way to Aberystwyth. Nice warm welcome. Staff are friendly and polite. We had The English Breakfast with toast and a cup of tea. The food is amazing. Fresh, hot and so tasty. Nice brew too! Will definitely stop here again if we are up this way.Thank you!Parking: Nice car park so close to The Tuck Box. Pay and Display. Short stay - 2 hour stay only.
I remain puzzled why you can have a small meat breakfast but not a small vegetarian breakfast ? It’s not about cost, but on principle why encourage waste? Left disappointed and hungry given refusal to be flexible on what food I buy.

Don’t think I’ll be visiting this place again. Called in earlier this morning, ordered a cup of tea and a prawn salad but after eating the first few prawns, I doubted their freshness. I continued to eat the salad but after a few more prawns, their chewy texture with a bad aftertaste made me realise they weren’t what I was expecting. (I still have that aftertaste now) I finished the rest of the food but did not want to cause a big fuss. When my plate was collected, I discreetly mentioned the prawn issue to the lady but was quickly told ‘they were freshly prepared this morning’. I reiterated my concern but was told the same again. After my plate was taken, I waited for about 10 mins as I was expecting a manager to possibly come and see me regarding my issue. Nobody came so I went in to pay. I reiterated the concern to the lady on the till but was quickly told again the same words - ‘freshly prepared this morning’. At this point I said ‘that doesn’t mean the prawns were fresh this morning and that because it is fish, I thought you should be aware as a minimum’. I also said that I eat a lot of prawns and wouldn’t have left them if I thought they were ok. Again, the manager was not called. I paid what I was asked and then left, being told to ‘have a nice day’. At no point was my concern raised to a manager that I am aware of. I accept I should have insisted on seeing a manager however, if staff are not willing to raise the issue to the manager themselves, there is clearly a management issue itself present anyway. Feedback to businesses is vital in order to continue with success. I do not wish to cause any issues and I am not one for bad mouthing a good business however, the prawns tasted odd and my comments were not taken seriously at the time raised.

Will not be going in again, staff very miserable didn't see one smile, had coffee and tea cakes, tea cakes had been cremated top and bottom . Not a very enjoyable end to our lovely morning in Welshpool

Turned up at 7:30 as it says it opens, and only to hear a load of horrible language coming from the kitchen, witch immediately we wanted to turn round and exit, but we were that hungry, we stayed and then after standing there for 5 minutes listening to all the disgusting language, the women finally sees us stood there and then says the griddles won’t be heated up for another half an hour, from witch you would think that the would come in half an hour before open to prep everything ready for service at 7:30! We left! And had a Greg’s instead lol
