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.

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.

Set deep in the Cambrian Mountains, Llanwrtyd Wells is one of the most rewarding cycling bases in Mid Wales. Quiet roads, relentless climbs and wide-open scenery attract riders who value space, challenge and uninterrupted miles.

From the legendary Devil’s Staircase to flowing forest singletrack, this area offers something for both road cyclists and mountain bikers.

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.

Motorcycle Tour - The TOST Cambrian Loop: ~110 miles. A relaxed day ride on empty B-roads, mountain passes, valleys, reservoirs, stunning countryside and sweeping bends.

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.

Specialty coffee isn’t just about a good cup anymore — it’s becoming an experience, a culture, and a movement. From sustainability to tech innovations, the next decade is shaping up to be exciting for coffee lovers everywhere.

Wales’ coffee scene has evolved rapidly over the last decade. Independent cafés, specialty roasters, and rural coffee destinations are redefining how people experience coffee across the country. But while Wales might seem small geographically, its coffee culture is far from uniform.
