A lovely little community cafe in the middle of Merthyr Town. Places like this really need our support. Not a huge menu but well presented with friendly service and good value. Live music provided by a group of elderly gentlemen who obviously meet regularly and were very talented and enjoying themselves - really lovely to see!

Caffi Soar was the highlight of our trip to friendly Merthyr Tydfil. The lovely man there rustled up fab veggie and vegan breakfasts for us and our two children and took the time to chat with us, giving me a chance to practise my dodgy-but-improving Welsh. He also gave us some advice about climbing Pen y Fan, which is a short drive away and not to be missed! Such a great visit

Absolutely lovely little lunch stop for us. Cafe was clean and tidy throughout. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Had chicken, pesto and mozzarella panini . Was very nice. Our visit was made all the better by a group of musicians from the theatre who were jamming away. 3 guitarists, 1 violinist and a singer. Excellent music. Was great. Could of stayed there all day

Nice place to relax and enjoy a good cuppa and some food. Next door to the Theatre Soar and they can sometimes have individuals playing music in the courtyard. Lovely welcoming staff
