Market Square Coffee House in Torfaen

Reasonable prices, but the place feels cramped especially downstairs near the counter.

Lovely cakes. Good service.

Good breakfast, good cakes and good coffee.

We discovered this place while passing through town. It is a fascinating local Coffee House in the middle of Wales in Pontypool. It is tenderly embracing local culture and traditions as well as tastefully blending them with a slight twist of Russian cuisine, which is very touching especially because Pontypool is situated just two miles down the road from a town called Sebastopol, named after a Russian city. Russian lady owner was very welcoming and served her local customers as well as us with affectional attention and care. The Café was elegantly decorated with some Russian memorabilia and nonetheless somehow it did not feel imposing, but fit very well with the local traditional style. As any coffee house, it would serve a wide variety of coffee as well as tea and delicious home-made cakes. Overall, we were thrilled by the experience of this café and its hospitable and very friendly owner.

Always made to feel welcome. Food and coffee excellent. Staff always very friendly. U would recommend anyone visiting or from pontypool to go there. The best cafe in pontypool😊

Best muffins in the whole world! Home made of course and are just yummy!

It was lovely to visit this coffee. Russian lady is nice and polite. She makes good cakes and sweets as well. There is parking place and you can park your car front of you.

Being a coffee lover l have frequently drank coffee in a lot of places.But the russian cafe in Pontypool has to be one of the most places to enjoy a cracking cup of coffee.It's also served with politeness and a charming smile.I recently took a friend also a coffee lover merely to find what he thought. He was just as bowled over as l was on my first visit.One small problem was the bread pudding was actually cooking while we were there. So we went without on this occasion. Although during previous visits l have found this delicacy second to none.A return visit is a must sooner rather than later.

This Russian Lady is one of the best Cakemakers I have come across. Her Coffee is splended too!

Lovely coffee and cakes. Pleasant and friendly staff
