As a family of 5 that includes newborn twins, sometimes coming to places like this can be challenging. This is not the case here. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There's plenty of space inside but outside in the garden is a wonderful seating area if you want to enjoy a coffee in the sun The drinks are fresh and delicious, as is the food. The introduction of the baguettes have been a triumph, the roast beef with peppercorn sauce being my favourite. So happy for this new business to see it thriving and quickly becoming a real hot spot with the locals. You can always tell the measure of a good coffee spot by how busy it is and there's always a good amount of customers here. Thank you Booths for cementing yourself as our new favourite place.

This is a lovely cafe with a beautiful outdoor area. The interior is fresh and clean. We loved the view of the viaduct and the sound of the river from the patio. The trees with the hanging lanterns made the outdoor seating area feel very relaxing. The outdoor furniture were of good quality and very comfortable. The baguettes were fabulous. I especially recommend the beef baguettes with the side sauce. The young staff on Sunday were especially helpful and friendly

We popped into this resturant after visiting the nearby Aberdulias waterfall and tin mill. They serve drinks and cakes and a small but excellent range of sandwiches. The star of the sandwiches is a rare roast beef sandwich that comes on freshly baked baguette with rocket, Parmesan and sweet chutney. It also comes with a pot of warm peppercorn sauce for dipping in. It was simply delicious, one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten. The other sandwiches were also very good such as the ham and cheese which the kids had.

I cannot speak highly enough of this cafe, the staff are so friendly and it's such a bright and cozy place to enjoy a coffee. The locally sourced coffee and hand made cakes and treats are incredible. Very fortunate to have this cafe so close by! I loved it! They are dog friendly as well!

Booths, what a lovely little find!! Easy to get to and parking available. We recieved the friendliest of welcomes and just adored how Booths is laid out and looks so cosy. The cafe is spotlessy clean (Including the toilets and outdoors). Coffee is absolutely lush!! Lovely cake selection, we tried the thick chocolate cookies, pain au chocolate and the cornflake cake all of which were fresh and tasty. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere! I'd highly recommend Booths and will definitely be back.

A lovely stop before a great walk by the canal. The staff were great and the garden is a lovely place to unwind. As the name suggests, it's a great place to grab a coffee by a bridge. Good selection of drinks, but lacking on the food front. Would be 5* if it wasn't for the lack of options.
