Ivy House Cafe - Powys

I visited today for a light lunch, Absolutely loved it well made great cafetière coffee, banging sandwich and the lightest coffee sponge cake, great service, newspapers galore and cosy with fab views over broad street, small menu well executed

My friend and I came here on Thursday for coffee and were given a warm welcome by the charming lady who single handedly runs the cafe and the post office. We were offered newspapers to read as there was a short wait whilst she attended to post office duties. We ordered coffee which was extremely tasty and delicious freshly baked cakes, also excellent. It is a rather unusual set up but most pleasant and full admiration for the obviously very hard working owner.

We found other reviews to be an accurate reflection good food and drink but unconventional service. Overall, I think the owner was anxious to get things exactly right and was trying her best to be in two places at once but if you are easily offended, I'd try elsewhere.

Lovely, quirky place. The lady who runs it was friendly and welcoming to my husband, me and our dog too. Limited breakfast menu but when the host explained the reason for this is that she also runs the post office at the same time we understood why. Had a lovely breakfast here.

This cafe seems to be part of the Post Office and run single handedly. The owner was very pleasant and running both quite capably. The scones were amazing just melted in your mouth. The cafe is quite quirky with items to buy, books to read and lovely pottery and china. A definite place to visit when you find yourself in Montgomery, Powys.
