Fives Cafe

Five Cafe is a real hub to the community of Abercynon. The food is excellent and all at reasonable prices. The staff and customers are a friendly bunch and are always welcoming and up for a chat.

Great cafe, nothing flash, but the cheapest large breakfast in the area - and it's tasty. Great service. My kind of place.

Me and my husband regularly visit this cafe for a morning milky coffee. Sometimes i have ordered scrambled eggs on toast and a portion of mushrooms absolutely gorgeous. Today I had a take away Beef Sunday lunch. I was not disappointed. It cost £4.99 for a large. Everything on my plate was home cooked it consisted of a roastie, a Yorkshire (home cooked) generous portions of mash, cabbage , peas, carrots and gravy. Four slices of beef which was one of the best tasting i have ever had. I can definitely recommend this cafe. The staff are brilliant and make you feel so welcome so glad we found this cafe. Will definitely have another

Diverted to FIVES off the Taff trail to get a much needed coffee as we cycled down to Cardiff. Traditional British cafe, good value, nice staff & and a friendly atmosphere. They didn't have oat milk, but do try the cappuccino.

Walking into Fives cafe I was curious, how would a greasy spoon in Abercynon compare to the finest greasy spoons? Upon entering the cafe I was put at ease, a portly builder was tucking into his breakfast and I was greeted by a fine woman who allowed me to sit anywhere. I sat in a private corner by a broken object (what this was heck knows) to observe my surroundings Immediately I looked upon the fruity tablecloth - plastic (perfect), all clean but with a certain grippy (not sticky big difference) texture. The walls adorned in memorabilia and big checks for fundraisers - who knew that a greasy spoon would be so charitable? And charitable they were! When the lady provided me the menu I could not believe the low prices! Never in all my life have I seen such value! The older gentleman who took my order was a lovely man full of jokes and chatty spirit. Now for the main course of the review - the food! It was a sight to behold - school dinner style sausages, a nice round plate (no stupid square plates), mountains of toast and bread (not either / or as some places have), beans, bacon and black pudding. The black pudding was a slight down however overall a mountain of delicious food. A great venue at reasonable prices consisting at the below for myself and my co-eater: ~ 2 big breakfasts (2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, beans / tomatoes, 2 full slices of toast, 2 full slices of bread (almost a loaf between us) and a tea / coffee ~ complimentary sauces ~ extra slice of fried bread ~ 1 can of diet coke ~ £10.75. Banging To conclude the review give the following: Price - 5* amazing! Quality - 4* - slightly let down with the black pudding but overall top notch Value for money - 5* - amazing value Environment - 4.5* not a classic greasy spoon in all aspects but had some charming items within and plastic tablecloths are always an additional 0.5* Overall 5*

Nice little independent cafe with a tasty breakfast and old school prices. Thank you

We traveled up for a funeral and stopped off here. From the outside I wasn’t sure if it was open and when we went in it was old school and proper wales which is my heart. Straight away we were greeted and the guy serving was just amazing and jolly. The food was top draw and it made a change to eat proper chips.
