Always good here. Great kids play pen inside. Nice food with gluten free options. Coffee is great and it's right next door to Morgan Jones park.

Nice little coffee shop next to Morgan Jones Park. Always grab a coffee and a Welsh cake in there before going to the park.It's split in two areas. One for families with small childer and the other which is normal (people not chasing kids around).

The Old Library Community Cafe is a Cafe that I've been to a couple times now that I've been impressed with both times.To begin, they're located a short walk from Caerphilly Castle and right next to a gorgeous park. There's about 10/15 parking spots directly opposite the cafe shared with the adjacent park.Their selection of food, be it cakes or hot food is delicious. The few times I've been I have gone for their Bacon & Brie Panini - It comes piping hot, cheese properly melted with a side portion of crisps and their coffees are made perfectly.They have large wall full of books that you're able to take home whenever you like - but remember to swap it out with one of your own books!If you're visiting with kids there's a kids play area the opposite side of the cafe filled with activities to keep the little ones busy.They also support a small business 'Tiny Giraffe Crafts' within the cafe where you can browse a variety of bits and Bobs.Overall a lovely cafe with friendly staff, I'll defybe back!

Food was good. Staff forgot about my coffee after reminding. Kids enjoyed the food though.

I’d really like to give this place a 5 star but I just can’t unfortunately. This place holds many lovely memories from when it was a library and I love that it has been turned into a cafe rather than another building left to rot. However, recently I feel like their prices are very steep. I understand that everything has gone up but for example over £4 for a smoothie is a bit salty. I definitely won’t be ordering one at that price and it’s a shame because they were lovely. Secondly and I think most importantly is the floor is always absolutely stinking. This is an absolute shame because the area for the children to play in is lovely and my baby loves being able to roam in the section but if I know I’m going there I always put dark clothes on her so it doesn’t show up so much. As she isn’t walking yet the top of her feet are always filthy from there, and I mean black. I’m more than happy for her to play in a bit of mud and build her immune system up but that floor is disgusting. Also, it’s not just the end of the day so they can’t use footfall as an excuse because I’ve been there many times first thing in the morning when they’ve just opened and it’s exactly the same. Such a shame because it has full potential of being so lovely in there just certain things massively let it down.

This is classed as a dog cafe but ONE member of staff clearly hates dogs! Kids can be noisy and make a mess. Adults can talk loud and leave their cups and plates at the table or on the counter. Dogs sometimes bark and can pee... but that can be mopped up......no problem, right? So if you are advertised as a dog friendly cafe, accept their flaws.

LOVE this place. Friday night board games is so inclusive and lots of one off games nights each month. Food and coffee is good. Staff are super friendly and it's dog friendly - what more could you want?
