Cute cafe that’s changed throughout years. Came earlier in month and think service could have been better, it was busy but the server seemed to not notice / prioritise clearing tables. We sat and the tables around us were sat with the previous customers dirty cups still on our tables. Got some nice soap and ridiculously cheap essential oils in the little shop now there. Dog friendly, service a bit slow but very busy with only couple staff on when we went so might have been a bad day. Such lovely walks near by so if you’ve got time to wait worth a stop off.

What a great find this morning ? We are so lucky to have found a local dog friendly Cafe servicing fabulous coffee with oat milk, a wood burning stove and locally brewed beer on tap with a takeaway option. The menu is vegan/vegetarian. If you haven't been, please do ? Thanks for the great tapas guys, see you soon.

Will never come here again. Ordered our food, 45 minutes later still sitting here, while later arrivals are served. Went and checked and the girl hadn't put our order in. The attitude of the boy and girl was absolutely disgusting and unapologetic.To add insult to injury. We asked the girl to keep a portion of the crumble for my wife once we finally got our main course. Yes she said. When we were ready for it, she had just sold the last portion. When challenged, she just laughed. I asked for the owners phone number, she refused saying that they are unavailable. She then asked me to leave because of my "abuse". I gave her no abuse whatsoever. The owners really need to look at the quality of front of house staff that they employ.

Unfortunately ,our party of 5 arriving late, our time in Chameleon was shorter than we planned.Staff were great, quickly and efficiently took our orders with a very friendly and helpful manner. Food was great, 3 kind of burgers and Tagliatelli were all tasty and money well spent. Diolch.Vegetarian options: As above.

Ordered a carbonara and it wasn’t cooked with egg, pork/bacon or cheese. We got served tagliatelle with cream and pepper.. and paprika.. and cold cheese to put on top. Not remotely a carbonara.. don’t call it that.we were starving after a long journey but under normal circumstances I’d have sent this back.. Fine and not bad for something you may whip up at home in a hurry, but a bit like ordering a margarita pizza and getting cheese and tomato on toast. Nice vibe and staff otherwise.

Met my friend for an early lunch . Busy when we got there ,took an hour and a half for the soup and ciabatta ! Have been there many times over the years , very disappointed this time. Very cold ,the majority of customers were wearing their coats , I don’t think this is acceptable ,especially when spending quite a bit on a small lunch and considering the place was well attended . The female toilet was covered in black dust ,window sill too . No soap in the dispenser which I don’t think is acceptable.The nice wood burner could be very useful and make this little cafe much more welcoming and cosy ,instead of being just ornamental

Lovely food & they did a lovely kids platter too. The carbonara was delicious! Even the kid was sharing it with me. Only disappointment was the burger to be honest. It was just a bun, lettuce & vegan burger patty. No sauce or cheese unless you pay extra which I thought was a bit odd especially considering the price. The sauté potatoes were lovely though.

Fair play, this is a little gem, 2nd visit last week and although the first was good I only had the Greek salad which is pretty difficult to get wrong (it was good mind). on the 2nd visit I had the Mexican jacket potato and the hummus from the small plates list , you could tell that it was made with some pride and that all ingredients were freshly made, not stingy with portion sizes either . Hats off to the cook/chef and I'll definitely be back again.Diolch

Great to find such a lovely place doing vegan and vegetarian food in a beautiful location with interesting rail bridge nearby. Very friendly staff and amazing mojito cake.

Lovely food. Had lunch with colleagues and was too full for cake!Fresh vegetables and salad, omelette excellent.Not speedy but it was not busy and it was a week day, that might be an issue if it was busy. A relaxing, beautiful place to sit out by the river . I am planning to come again.

If it wasn't for the hour plus wait for our food things could have been better. Or if the wait would have been communicated when ordering that would have given us a choice. Guy outside with a guitar was really good

Amazing! Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. I was really hankering for a specific meal and they accommodated us even though it wasn't on the menu, and the portions were massive! Tasted great, so will definitely be coming back. Diolch yn fawr!
