Reviews For The Filling Station Cafe

The best carrot cake I've ever had and a bostin mug of tea! This little place can get very busy on sunny days, and I can see why. Highly recommended!

A great cafe in the middle of town and a great option for lunch, tea, or coffee if you are in Tintern. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They are constantly busy but they have good and friendly service! I think what stood out to me was when I ordered coffee, the young lady asked me how strong I wanted it. Normally you pay extra for that but I guess it’s not unusual for them! She saw how pleasantly surprised I was when she asked me that. I went for the strongest of course! Great and friendly service, cheap but quality food.

What an absolute joy the Filling Station is! Just lovely and scrummy and delicious. GF options were fabulous even at the end of the day on a Sunday, Coconut flapjack was gorgeous, Mocha was delicious including Belgian chocolate shavings and the carrot cake was divine!! Highly recommend and we will be back

We swung by for a bit of breakfast this morning. The place was taken over by roadies (cyclists) which is cool, they obviously take a good trade from it. We both had cheese & ham panini’s which were very nice. Not over & not under cooked, plus the cheese was very nice.

Lovely little cafe with sunny deck seating outside and cozy area in. Fantastic coffee and chocolate chips on top. Very popular with cyclists. Note: No toilets on premises, but public ones, free next to the Abbey, a 3 minute walk away.

We stopped off for a coffee to warm up as a family and our Labrador. We found the coffee was great - lovely chocolate on the mocha! The fire to warm you up in such a cosy place was a nice touch. Highly recommend it has bike parking rack out the front so clearly popular with cyclists too.

Popped in for a quick bite. Paninis or baguettes with a good selection of filling. A good choice of coffees and cakes too. They swapped the bacon out and put chutney with brie for us. Delicious. Americanos in black and white also delicious. Lovely staff. Very cosy with the woodburner inside. Plenty of seating outside to front and down round the back. Only downside no loo. However just a short walk to the one at the Abbey carpark.

Just had the nicest cup of coffee in about 6 years from this place. I knew it would be good when I was asked how strong I wanted it, on a scale of 1-10... We also picked up some ice cream from The Hub, across the road, which is part of the same cafe. Flavours were lovely. Can’t recommend it more
