The Bay Tree

Wonderful cafe. Huge selection of loose leaf tea (black and green) served in large tea pots, enough for 3 cups, plus. The white tea was good quality. Charmingly quirky decor. They love dogs. Made a fuss of our tiny dog, and gave her a dog biscuit the size of her head! (With permission). They have gluten free bread, and the menu is marked up where GF is an option. Ordering GF therefore straightforward. On the cake side, they have GF scones. The non-GF Victoria sponge was excellent, homemade. All the cakes looked great, I wanted to try all of them (displayed on the counter). On a Saturday this cafe is busy even in September. It is busy for a reason. Despite being busy the staff and service were great. I loved it, highly recommended.

This is a lovely place with brilliant food amazing service and an atmosphere that is one of a kind and I can’t recommend it more. I have 1 negative and that is that the toilet is a little cramped but I couldn’t list all the positives here. Much better than I expected even with my high expectations from the other reviews here. If your parsing through I couldn’t recommend this cafe more.

Lovely cafe/tea room in Welshpool Powys. Close to the town centre with 2 easy public car parks behind it, across from each other. Great selection of cakes and meals and the coffee is excellent. Good selection of gin as well. Very eclectic inside with the walls and ceiling covered in interesting memorabilia. Prices average for the times. Always something to see when you walk in. Variety of seating styles from old converted waltzer cars to high bar stools and leather chesterfield style chairs etc. Would recommend anyone with imagination and an enquiring mind, to give it a go.

Love the fun/ retro decor, a lovely member of staff explained that they were busy with 2 lge groups and would come to us as soon as they could, which they did. Brought tasty coffees, baked potato and beef sandwich arrived great but no knives. They were so busy they forgot. When I saw cutlery arriving for others I asked for some. I noticed 2 managers having a meeting and lunch. This is when I did get annoyed. It seems that customers and dedicated staff mean nothing modern management. Is this just me.?? Left unhappy after complaining.

Visited Saturday just gone, and it was incredible. Loved the decor, we sat in the Alice of Wonderland part of the tearooms, and it was just fantastic. Even the menu was all out of Wonderland!! The teapots were extremely big, which is great if you are a tea lover like myself. There are so many flavours to choose from. The baguettes and ciabiattas were filled to the brim with tasty food. All come with side salad and taco chips. We certainly had plenty to eat and drink. The atmosphere was great, and the whole place was packed out . We shall definitely be returning. It certainly cheered us up on a rainy dull day. Everything was great from when we walked into saying our goodbyes. Great good, staff and atmosphere with a spoonful of magical delights. It's most definitely worth a visit down the rabbit hole! It will make you feel as mad as a hatter!!!! Enjoy the journey
