Coaltown Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Wales

I've been enjoying Coaltown's coffee for over a year now, and will continue to recommend their coffee. However, I was hugely disappointed in their new "restaurant." I'm not sure what they were thinking when they created their menu - your choice is very expensive pizza, or very expensive toasted sandwiches. It cost me almost £40 for two small pizzas; the pizzas didn't come with very much topping at all, just a couple of slices of mushrooms and some crumbs of cheese, over a thin smearing of a tomato sauce. The size of the pizzas and the lack of topping certainly don't represent the extortionate price.

Of the two pizzas ordered, only one was brought to our table. We waited a good ten minutes, expecting our second pizza at any moment, when a family on the table next to us came over and asked whether the pizza on their table is ours, as they hadn't ordered it! So not only is the food way overpriced, but they can't be bothered to bring it to the right table once you've paid for it.

Stick to the coffee. The coffee is nice and worth the money. As for the food and service, I personally feel that Coaltown need to make some...

Lovvvve this place, what a gem in a sea of substandard coffees 😆 Such a cool experience being inside the roastery, awesome equipment/eco cups, and love the boards telling the story/purpose/mission of the place, much respect for the ethics ✌ staff are super nice too, very chatty and make you feel so welcome. Now the important bit, the coffees! We had our usuals - decaf latte, decaf oat flat white. Latte - really excellent taste, perfect temperature (not too hot), spot on texture (not too thick/thin). I was quite surprised that the standard is only a single shot though - this is what I ordered for my first one and it was much too weak. I watched the other half of the double shot being split away from my cup, and presumably discarded, so when I ordered a double shot latte the next time round I was a bit surprised to pay extra for the other half of the shot! Really would love it if the standard was a double shot in a latte, to be the same as what I've found to be in all the other coffee shops on our 'decent coffee' list. Flat white was perrrrrfect though. We...

Must say, a little disappointed. I rather agree with the review left by James recently. I have been wanting to visit for some time and accidentally ended up taking a route via Ammanford to Brecon. Stopped for 4 takeaway drinks. Was told they don’t do syrups as they don’t go with their ‘speciality coffee’ - I would rather think this is a choice/decision best left to the customer! Customer-facing staff not overly friendly and welcoming - surely a warm friendly smile and attitude isn’t much to ask? Having ordered 4 lattes we all agreed that they were perhaps single shots and not very strong - coffee taste was subtle and barely noticeable. Will definitely be back to give these guys another go - the place was busy and so they are clearly doing something right. On this occasion, we all agreed it wasn’t the best first impression and hope we get a better feel and taste of coffee next time. It was great to be able to see the working roastery side of things and to read about its history in a...
