Reviews For Food For Thought Cardigan SA43 1JL

Beautiful food and excellent customer service. Staff were friendly, and happy to help no matter what we asked, best we have experienced whilst visiting Wales. Two of us had the chicken special with a creamy garlic, lemon and thyme sauce which was something different and so tasty. 1 had a lamb kofte flatbread which was delicious and 1 had a chicken burger with fries and homemade onion rings which was also delicious. Would highly recommend eating and drinking here.

Popped in for a late lunch, was still a little busy, but got a table. Service was friendly and prompt, plenty of people willing to help, working hard. Ordered the gourmet burger (hash brown, smoked ketchup, back, cheese, beef) was AMAZING! definitely recommend, wife had a panini (chicken, brie and cranberry -added bacon) was big and delicious. Had a couple of drinks. All in all lovely place, totally worth a lunch stop -in. I'm sure we'll go again.

Fantastic place for top notch nosh and hot and cold drinks. Pavement seating area for families with dogs. Great atmosphere, fantastic service and an amazing place to catch up with friends. Cakes are scrumptious! Is a must visit in Cardigan.

Nice little cafe in the middle of Cardigan. We went at lunch and had to wait 10 minutes for a table but after that we weren't rushed at any point. Drinks and food order were taken promptly and food was lovely, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. With a good range of food and drinks, there is also a special board with a good selection of food! There is 1 toilet that can cause a bit of a backlog at times! Overall, I am very impressed, and we will return!

Food was SO good! The Parmesan fries, wow! My husband said it was the best omelette he’d ever had! The Bakewell slice was so good! I would have happily eaten more! Lovely cafe with friendly staff and great food, highly recommend a visit :) we will definitely be back when visiting Cardigan again.
