“ Wonderful food! Truly something special in Cardigan. The brioche French toast was really amazing and the "side item" furikake fries m deserved it's own place in the main menu. We were greeted by a somewhat grumpy fellow who complained directly at us for not booking a table of 8 (the restaurant wasn't busy). The rest of the staff were really lovely and they made up for the first impression. ”
“ Very busy and quite loud atmosphere, definitely book if you want a low table or even a table at all at lunch time. The pancakes were really nice, chestnut, winter berry compote, and white chocolate pancakes, definitely good for people with a sweet tooth :]! I also had kimchi and seaweed hashbrowns. I will say, not really a fan of these, I definitely prefer the regular hash browns from here! I feel that I was given a lot more hash browns than my mum who had the regular ones, and I couldn't manage all of them (I like hash browns, seaweed and kimchi, but wasn't really a fan of the sour and salty combination of the 3 tbh. ) The donuts are really nice here though, and if you want a cinnamon roll, you need to queue for the counter asap, because there was only one left by the time we got to the counter, and that was around 12:30pm. ”
“ If you are looking for a stunning brunch or just an amazing coffee & cake to take out, anywhere near Cardigan, then this is the right place for you! Stunning well cooked, affordable food that truly satisfies. From a the amazing Eggs Royale to the phenomenal pancakes, with loads of vegetarian and vegan options. There is also the opportunity to take food and coffee away with you for later, with the shop right there. Fresh extremely tantalising cakes and amazing ground coffee, with superb granola to have later. We had a superb brunch and truly have no complaints whatsoever, only wish the tip machine was closer so you didn't have to go through the queue in the shop to reward the staff. ”
“ I will always rave about crwst, it's perfect - I go every time I go to see my parents and I have never had a bad meal/experience. If you try one thing try the hashbrowns when you eat!!! (and the doughnuts for afterwards!!) Lots of catering for vegan options on the drinks board which is great as well - including entirely vegan hot chocolate (milk & powder) which can be hard to find. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, when going on weekends/holidays I would definitely advise booking to avoid disappointment. There is also an incredible ethos because of their focus on local welsh food & producers, and they have a great selection of goodies to buy in store from west wales producers as well ”
“ Delicious food, friendly and informative service and great atmosphere! Service was super quick, something was missing from my meal but it was rectified straight away without issue. Will 100% be back.. even just for the hash browns! ”
“ Incredible atmosphere, Food was absolutely delightful. A great range of their own food and drink products to purchase and do at home for yourself. The hot chocolate was the best I’ve ever tasted and the cooked breakfast was divine. Staff were clean, Polite and respectful. Will definitely be back. Dog friendly too! ”
“ Had a fantastic brunch experience at Crwst, Cardigan. We pre-booked as a party of four, knowing how popular this place is—and rightly so! My halloumi and harissa burger was delicious, while my wife thoroughly enjoyed the cinnamon French toast. My mother-in-law, who picked Crwst as it's her favourite spot, was very happy with her scrambled eggs on toast, and her partner loved the special of the day, the pulled pork and fried egg burger. Couldn't resist grabbing a couple of cookies on the way out—perfectly gooey in the middle and crispy around the edges. A wonderful visit; we'll definitely be returning! ”
“ A must visit if you’re getting breakfast/lunch in Cardigan. Amazing menu and food at good value. The building itself is impressive with an additional shop and bakery inside. Highly recommend. ”
