Cycling through Mid Wales is an experience like no other. From the peaceful lanes of Llanwrtyd Wells to the challenging terrain of the Devil’s Staircase near Abergwesyn, the region draws riders looking for both adventure and scenery. For those tackling these routes, TOST Coffee Shop has become the ideal place to pause, refuel, and prepare for what lies ahead.

In the smallest town in Britain, on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, TOST is quietly shaping a new kind of coffee culture. This is a café built not just to serve coffee, but to celebrate honest food, place, craft, and community.

If you’re searching for the best coffee in Powys, you’re not alone. Over the past few years, Mid Wales has quietly built one of the most exciting independent coffee scenes in the UK — from artisan espresso bars in market towns to cosy rural cafés serving specialist and locally roasted beans.

Mid Wales is one of the UK’s best regions for motorcycling. Quiet roads, sweeping bends, mountain scenery, and long stretches between towns make a good café or coffee shop stop an essential part of the ride.

Here in Mid Wales, we’re lucky. Our upland springs and reservoirs naturally provide water that is clean, balanced, and positively suited to specialty coffee. It’s soft enough to preserve delicate flavours, yet naturally mineral-rich enough to support a full-bodied, satisfying extraction.

We have been using rocket (aka arugula) as “rocket fuel” - in some of our bagels and sometimes on the side.

Did you know that rocket is extremely nutrient-dense with very few calories and a normal serving has important vitamins and minerals that support health.

Wishing you a 2026 filled with good luck, good health, and lots of happiness.

Dymuno 2026 llawn o lwc dda, iechyd da, a digonedd o hapusrwydd i chi.

In the smallest town in Britain, on the edge of wilderness and at the gateway to the Cambrian Mountains, it feels that something quietly special has taken root. TOST is more than a coffee shop and bakehouse - it’s a modern gathering place shaped by landscape, community, and a belief that great food and great coffee bring people together.

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas! We hope your day is filled with peace, love, and happiness ❤️

Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen i bawb! Gobeithiwn y bydd eich diwrnod yn llawn heddwch, cariad a hapusrwydd ❤️

TOST is frequently recommended as one of the best coffee spots in Mid Wales, and that reputation hasn’t come from hype or trend-chasing. It comes from consistency.
