Visited here from Manchester, really loved the decor and atmosphere. Came for a coffee on the Saturday and it was such a rich coffee, gorgeous. Came for the food on the Sunday and was equally as nice. Would definitely come again

We visited the amazing Haystacks in Merthyr Tydfil this week, and have to report what a wonderful experience it was. We brought our baby in pram and our dog, and we're looked after so well. The staff helped us choose our table, with plenty of room to accommodate the pram and dog, and we're so attentive throughout our visit. They really are dog friendly, as they made sure our lab was well looked after with lots of fuss and even gave her a sausage as a treat. The food was exceptional - I can't quite figure out how they were done but the eggs on the farmer's s breakfast are some of the best I've ever tasted. Me and my other half shared a breakfast between us, as we also wanted to sample the pancakes (both breakfast and pancake portions were more than enough to share). We had the Kinderella pancake stack and it was every bit as tasty and decadent as we hoped for. We can't wait to come back and try more of the dishes, especially as it is also great value IMHO. Decor is brilliant too, and the atmosphere even on a moderately quiet week day afternoon was great.
