So cute - Edit
Amazing sweet pastry selection from Alex Gooch 🥰🥰🥰 Lovely little refill shop, with lots of other little eco friendly things to buy. Food was delicious and plenty of choice of seating. Great selection of children’s books to read upstairs while waiting for food. Really relaxed atmosphere. And food came much quicker than we expected.
Read morePros: The fruit cruffin 🥰, Ooh! Dark chocolate , The rest of the pastries 😍😍😍

Lovely find! - Edit
Super helpful staff, plenty of vegan options. We had the loaded hash browns - cheese & beans - proper tummy filler! Plus the build your own salad bowl which offered a range of interesting options such as chilli cucumber and black bean houmous.

Ecological Shop and Cafe - Edit
I was too late for real food, so I had just a Cinemon Bun and a Berry Smoothie. The bun was alright, the Smoothie was great.

Nice find - Edit
Overall a decent experience here in the middle of a road trip. Vegan choices were decent and food was tasty. Although, as others have said, it would be better if it was all vegan, especially considering the shop's focus on sustainability. The coffee (with pea milk) was really good.
Read morePros: Great coffee, Good vegan options, Nice outdoor seating

love it here - Edit
i’ve been here a couple times and it’s such a lovely cafe. the menu is really good with most things being vegan friendly. I had the garlic thyme mushrooms on toast last time and it was very good! my family had the chilli bowl and cheese kimchi toastie, as well as some pastries, which they really enjoyed. i’m looking forward to trying the vegan shakshuka and salad bowls too so will update my review when i have. the shop downstairs is fun to have a browse in too!

The best in Aber - Edit
We've eaten here many times and have always had a good experience! The menu has obviously been put together by someone who understands veggie food and I've never been disappointed with anything I've tried. The (vegan option) kimcheese toastie shouldn't be missed.
Read moreThe cafe is also very cosy and the staff are lovely.
Pros: Good vegan options, Tasty food, Friendly and warm venue

Lovely cafe - Edit
UPATE 2024:
Read moreStill a good selection of vegan and veggie foods. They now have seating outside which is lovely on a warm day. I had the loaded hash i think it was called, hash browns, beans and vegan cheese, it was really good. My husband has the breakfast burrito which he liked. Over all a lovely meal, friendly staff.
Previous review:
Great selection of vegan food. Good quality too but is a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion.

Delicious and filling! - Edit
I had the shakshuka which substituted egg for vegan feta. It was delicious, couldn't fault it! Rich and creamy with a side of great toasted sourdough. Very hearty and set me up for the day.
Read moreInterior is funky and the shop downstairs is fun to browse post brunch. Would definitely return next time I'm in Abergavenny.

Delicious Green Breakfast - Edit
I had a Green Breakfast with extra beans and vegan cheese instead of eggs to make it vegan and it was just delicious and good portion size too. Would be nice to see scrambled tofu and vegan sausage to make it a full English breakfast.
Read moreI enjoyed my meal outside in the sun. There is lovely seating upstairs. The store has alot of refill options to reduce packaging.
Pros: Vegan options, Nice deco
Cons: Serves dairy and eggs, Need variety for vegan options

Amazing ! - Edit
I can’t fault this place ! Really nice staff, the shop is so great and has lots of excellent buys. The cafe is such a nice atmosphere, so chilled out. The food I had in the cafe was delicious, I had the coronation chickpea bagel and my husband had the hummus toastie- both came with crisps and slaw. Really good quality well made food. The hot drinks are also amazing I had a rose latte ! I’m very impressed.

Great cake and coffee - Edit
A sustainability focussed business combining a cafe with a refill shop. Large variety of vegan cake. Between us we had sticky toffee, chocolate brownie, cardamom swirl, and banana&chocolate loaf. The sandwiches, bagels and toasties can all be made vegan and looked delicious.

Fresh, local, proper food - Edit
Super café with seating outdoors so you can keep an eye on your bike. Some interesting options on the menu - "proper" food as opposed to fast food. They seem to focus on locally sourced ingredients. I had the ploughman's which includes four different cashew nut cheeses from Pip's and some excellent kimchi and sauerkraut. They also have a variety of vegan cakes, chocolates and sweets to treat yourself. Reasonable prices for very high quality food, and excellent friendly service.

Back for a refill - soon! - Edit
I've used the shop at Little Green Refills a few times, and long thought I should try the café for lunch, so today seemed like as good a day as any: a fine Welsh spring day with black clouds forever looming. I wasn't particularly hungry and the asparagus soup appealed - I figured it would be just enough for a light lunch. I wasn't wrong. It came with some toasted sourdough (probably from the excellent but eye-wateringly expensive Angel bakery just down the road, by the taste of it), and it was simply delicious, creamy with a subtle hint of asparagus. It was so good that it was only when I'd finished that I realised I hadn't asked for pepper, or a glass of wine. I'll definitely be back (maybe they'll serve wine by then).
Read moreIncidentally, the shop sells all the usual things you'd expect in a refill store - pulses, pasta, cereals, spices, toiletries - but also some treats such as Moroccan marmalade (made in Talgarth, naturally), which is subtly spiced, and fava bean paste, which has a lovely umami flavour. both are utterly addictive, utterly irresistible.
