Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A real treat, perfect for lunch.

A lovely cafe with an interesting menu with some reliable standard favourite foods and a few newer vegan or vegetarian options. Very quick service with a friendly smile. Excellent prices in these difficult times. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Cracking Breakfast !

We have been frequenting the Cariad Café for weekend breakfasts over the past 4 to 5 years. The food is always piping hot, fresh and tasty. The team are friendly and accommodating. We have tried other places but always return.

Shame I can't give 5 stars

Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the hair in my brother's cake. It shouldn't have happened, however, I appreciate mistakes do happen. Everything else about this cafe was PERFECT hence the 4 stars. Delicious coffee, generous servings of freshly baked goods, and...a cosy atmosphere.More

Sunday breakfast.

Great breakfast all round, can’t fault it. Some of the best mushrooms I’ve ever had, thick tasty bacon, buttered bread, tasty sausages but not too spicy, eggs cooked perfect! Very enjoyable thanks.

Best breakfast I have ever had.

I wanted to have laverbread and cockles and was recommended this cafe. My daughter and I had a breakfast and it was wonderful. Everything was beautifully cooked and the bacon the best I have ever eaten. We stocked up with homemade cakes for later that...day too. Can't wait to come again.More

Massive Breakfast

Massive Breakfast for just £7.95 and I can usually eat loads but this with 2 bacon, 2 egg, 2 sausage, mushrooms, hashbrown beans and 2 toast was quite a lot, BUT I managed it. My wife had a small breakfast which she enjoyed too, and...then got a cake. Hot chocolate and Coffee Very good will go again, plus free parking across the road. Friendly staff and clean tables. Kitchen looked clean and running efficiently. Thanks Michael & TracyMore
