Angie's

Angie's is a snug café tucked just behind the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye, a spot that feels very much part of the town’s quiet rhythm. Its modest size means it can get busy, especially on festival days or weekends when visitors and locals alike come off the streets looking for a hearty breakfast or a comforting lunch.

The atmosphere is informal and welcoming, with friendly service that adds a personal touch to each visit. Many drop by after browsing the famous local bookstores, settling in for freshly made sandwiches, salads, or a warm baked potato. The food here is straightforward but satisfying, with the best bacon and sausage baps in town often mentioned, alongside generous breakfasts served with a side of playful banter.

Angie herself adds character to the place, making it feel less like a café and more like a spot where locals catch up. The prices are notably reasonable, which suits those looking for a filling meal without fuss. Expect a cozy but lively vibe, especially mid-morning or early afternoon when the café acts as a meeting point for Hay-on-Wye’s community and visitors alike.

Those who appreciate a good hot chocolate or a substantial mug of coffee will find themselves well looked after here. The highlight for many is the warmth both in the food and the welcome, making it a practical and pleasant stop whether you’re in town for the festival or a quiet visit. If you’re cycling or walking through town, be sure to keep an eye out for a classic Lambretta scooter parked nearby — a little local detail that adds to the café’s charm.
