Tea Traders — Restaurant in Wales

Oh my goodness,my husband son and myself just had afternoon tea at "Tea traders" today. (I have in the past been treated to tea at the Ritz and as far as I am concerned was every bit as enjoyable without the price tag and snooty waiters !!) The owner I believe served us and we were made to feel so welcome, He so attentive,the service and the quality and quantity was excellent,even though they were busy nothing was too much trouble for them. The table was laid with a 3 tier cake stand and a choice of sandwiches and a large choice of cakes,The choice of teas and coffee was extensive. If you are on holiday or local I cannot recommend this place highly enough,you wont be disappointed !! The only disappoint would be if you couldnt get a table. My advice is book in advance ,which I did online and I had reply within a short time confirming my booking. And our table was ready and reserved waiting for us on our arrival. ,As each customer left,I noticed the tables were cleared and cleaned thoroughly ready for the next customer,,no dirty cups,saucers etc. left. I would like to add even the after customer service we had ,as the portions were so generous that we could not eat everything was then moved from our table and carefully packed with care for us to take home,in sustainable package even the thought of napkins and wooden knife and forks. Thank you so much for an enjoyable...

An absolutely lovely place! Stopped in for a pit stop with a long car drive ahead of us...don't usually leave reviews but this cute little shop went above and beyond. When we ordered, it was quick service with lovely waiters. I had ordered a chai latte and was hyped for it. I didn't really think about the fact that it might taste differently to Starbucks/main stream coffee places as they use tea leaves and not powder with lots of sugar!!! I have lost taste and smell due to covid for 10 months and some things don't taste nice/leave odd odours in my mouth It arrived quickly and I tried it. I wasn't the biggest fan and didn't really like it (personal taste). However, the owner came over and asked if everything was okay, perhaps seeing I didn’t like it. Seeing me a bit embarrassed, he didn't make a fuss but let me know that it was okay not to like it. Thinking it was sorted, I continued to drink it as I didn't want to look ungrateful!!! He later came over with a glass of water and explained the way they made it and why it was different to other chains of coffee. He was so lovely about it and explained it so well. We came to pay the bill and he didn't charge for the drink!! as I didn't like it...we insisted but he wouldn't take it. Overall such a great place and couldn't fault the staff at all. Lovely people and would highly recommend you to...

Visited on a busy weekend and luckily got a table. The guy who greeted us was very friendly and active in the shop, making sure everyone was okay.

I visited with my partner and friends, we had two pots of teas and baguette/toasties. Although I can’t comment on the toasties the baguette was delicious!

It seemed very fresh and artisan; a nice thin crunchy outside but soft and fluffy inside. The ham and cheese were both really high quality and it went down a treat.

Not being a massive tea drinker I wasn’t sure what to go for but ended up with an Earl Grey Rose tea. It was delicious. A subtle touch of rose brought the whole thing together very well. I enjoyed so much I bought a bag to take home.

The shop had a nice atmosphere. When I visited the main clientele were older people, but although my group all being in our early-early 20s, we didn’t feel out of place, which was nice. I know this can be awkward for some people.

The place was clean and tidy and warm. It is a cosy place to spend a hour having a chat, a tea and a bite to eat.

Definitely want to go again. Also very surprised by the nice initiatives in place, but I won’t say more as I’d hate to ruin the surprise for any newcomers.

Staff were also kind and friendly too.

Thanks for a nice experience...
