About Us

From Humble Beginnings to Caerleon's Favourite Breakfast

Locals and visitors to Ponthir are quickly making our café their favourite place to go.

We opened in March 2025.

Our Story

A Small, Family-Run Café

We are a small, family-run business on the Star Trading Estate in Ponthir, Caerleon. A father and daughter run the business and are very passionate about providing great food and service.

Come in for a real full English breakfast, tasty lunches, and fresh drinks that are served quickly and with real care. Located just off Newport Road in Ponthir, we're just a short drive from Caerleon and Cwmbran. We'd love to see you, so why not come in and say hi?
