Heading there this afternoon - MrsMC is not a coffee snob but the cafes we've been in over the weekend have been "mediocre", so any recommendations?

Will also be hunting out a chemist's given the massive overreaction my left hand has taken to a horsefly bite

probably The Lost Arc.

Don't forget to pop into Neil's Wheels whilst you're there as well.

I noticed a new coffee bar has opened on Bridge/West Street when I was there early in the week - eager to hear a report as I didn't have time to stop!

I was going to ask the same question.

Last decent coffee for the next 150km...

Slightly related q, is there anywhere that does an awesome cooked breakfast along the route from Abergavenny to Newbridge on Wye like with proper sausage from a butchers?

We go to Ty Morgan's, a cafe by the weird monument roundabout thing. Good coffee and breakfasts and cakes.

That would be Narrative, which we accidentally stumbled across, had simply amazing coffee, the biggest croissant and pain au chocolat I've ever seen, a great chat with the owner Sam (apparently originally a local boy) and came away with a couple of bags of the current house coffee. Been open two weeks, doing well.

Neil was a bit busy with bikepackers stopping on their travels, and wasn't stocking the type of gloves I wanted.

As one of those coffee snobs, doing a decent espresso pour is so hard to find. When I'm camping that way I pop to the Old Swan tea rooms for a fry up when they first open for the day, okay brekkie, but more importantly a mug of fresh filter coffee which hits the spot and isn't stewed so no complaints. Its cash only so they'll direct you up to the Co-op cash machine.

I guess the Elan visitors centre is mediocre for coffee and nosh?

We were at the Elan Valley visitors centre yesterday morning. Coffee had more flavour than most places, but the frother wand had broken.
