Budget busting cafe with stunning views across the picturesque Elan Valley.

There’s plenty of outoor benches along with an expansive conservatory for those wet Welsh days. Both of which allow you to easily keep an eye on your bike and enjoy the splendid views.

Serving a range of homemade cakes and hot food, you’ll find changing daily specials along with their coffee (Cariad Coffee)/tea (Welsh Brew Tea) and any cake meal deal at £4.
