Make it in Wales @ Stiwdio 3 in Ceredigion

First time visiting Cardigan today and we were looking for somewhere to get some food. There were 7 of us, 3 adults and 4 kids. Stiwdio 3 was the first place we came to which had a large enough clear table for 7 people.The menu seemed fairly average priced, happy to order at the till. When we ordered we were told there would be "a bit of a wait" for the food. The kids had drunk their carton of milkshake long before the 40 minutes later when the food started to arrive. Each time we asked we were told there would be "a wait", but no further estimate of time. Took 40 minutes to bring a pot of tea for two and a couple of diet cokes at the same time as the food. The family on the table next to us said they'd waited about 25 minutes for some coffees.Then there was the food. My friend is allergic to cheese and so ordered the tomato and basil soup with no cheese as we saw a bowl of soup leave the kitchen with cheese sprinkled on the top. Her soup arrived with cheese on top and had to be changed. The picture I've posted was of her soup. She doesn't like butter beans, and that was the ratio of soup to butter beans which were in her tomato and basil soup. The rest of the food was quite nice, hence the two stars and not 1 star, but the staff seemed rude and harassed, the management ineffective and customer service at the bottom of the pile. Which is a shame, as this could be a lovely cafe with the correct organisation.

A cozy atmosphere surrounded by handmade local crafts.The staff were friendly and greeted me with a smile. It was my first time here and they explained what to do.I had the cajun chicken wrap. It was DELICIOUS. The salads on the side were also very tasty. It was enough, but it was so good I would've happily forced another down.I didn't have cake but they looked yummy.

Super great place! The food was awesome (the dahl was particularly good) and the space was so comfortable. We’ll definitely go back and buy some of the crafts there too!

Hello called to this place at 13 15 today, total unorganised choas the lady on the coffee station confused all staff, in the prossess messed up all drinks orders (i even had to go up and pay for a coffee i had already paid for) so we had 2 coffees and waited 15/20 mins for the 3rd then waited a futhure 20 for 2 toasted teacakes, because they burnt 4 ? the bill was £22 service was stocking the whole experience was appauling . defo wont be going back.

Amazing food and a lovely place to admire all the crafts 😊

Called in to Stiwdio 3 while visiting Cardigan for the first time in many years. What a lovely thriving market town it now is and this cafe was a find. For some reason all the cafes seemed to be closed or closing at 3pm on a Monday, but the staff (owner?) was still welcoming and said we could sneak an order in for the chef.The baguette sandwich was a cut above normal, toasted and filled beautifully, with an excellent salad side. Cream tea was also great. All the staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere is airy, pristine & welcoming.Running a service business ourselves we felt the service & ambience was just spot-on. You really deserve to be successful, and we will definitely return when we are next in the area. Thank you..

What a treat nice staff reasonable price for lunch plenty of space

Cozy coffee shop with plenty of seating indoors and very welcoming and helpful staff. Delicious homemade food. The chicken curry was so tasty and a good portion. Carrot cake for dessert, which was super moist and again delicious! Would come back and recommend :)

My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Really nice food and good value for money. Definitely recommend the toasted tea cakes for £2.50. Very nice staff too!

I only ambled into Stiwdio3 in search for a quick coffee and was pleasantly surprised that they offered Oat Milk as a milk substitute.I regrettably didn’t try any of their cakes which were beautifully displayed at the counter, yet they did look delicious. Next time!Wonderful little spot with both large bright sunny seating, together with little hide away nook and crannies for more secluded lunching.Friendly staff and extremely effective Social Distancing measures put in place.The cafe was even fitted with their own handsome in-house Jack Russel, ensuring all the customers were doing alright: clearly fantastically dog friendly.
