The Dutchess Brecon

The place is nice, the staff friendly but not sure how it works. We arrived there after a long hike early afternoon and we were seated and ordered food. But 10 min later they were thing people no food because the kitchen was closing despite being in the time range stated on the menu. Anyhow all in all a nice place to eat a quick bite with prices on the upper side

A really lovely cafe which has a beautifully decorated interior and polite and friendly staff. The menu looked very tempting but we'd only popped in for a drink before travelling home from holiday. We had a nice coffee and my son raved about the milkshake with cream and sprinkles! (The frequent banging out of the coffee grounds by the barista was a small annoyance and I seemed to notice it much more here than other places but a really small thing!)

We arrived on a busy Saturday lunchtime and there was no space left so they told us we could go through to the Duke which runs off the same kitchen. When we got in there, there were no menus and the waitress was reeling things off until she said something we liked the sound of 🙈 This is my reason for the 4 stars. However, they completely redeemed themselves with the incredibly lovely staff, the lovely homely feel of the cafe and most importantly an amazing milkshake, scrummy toasties and lovely tea! Will 100% be back next time I'm back in the area.

The Dutchess Cafe has now been up and running for quite a while after an extensive refurbishment. Heavily based on Holland including a few items on the menu and themed wallpaper in the toilet. There is a good menu and a few specials so ideal for lunch or a quick snack. Everything was beautifully presented and good value for money. Definitely somewhere I would return to.
