Shepherds Parlour

We have been visiting this cafe for many years, and they constantly produce very tasty food. Today I shared a tuna melt on sourdough and a ham and brie toasted chiabata with a side salad. Both were delicious. Portions are good and service is prompt and professional. If you are visiting Hay, don’t miss this cafe and don’t forget to try their own ice cream

What a find, we were recommended to try here for something light for breakfast by the gent at kieleys store up the road. Sooo good, the ingredients are clearly well sought and have so much natural flavour. The bloody mary tomato ketchup is divine. The coffee is smooth, and every sip just feels goooood. It's a really nice vibe with a quaint atmosphere. When passing you'll easily not go in because you think it's an ice cream parlour and not what you are looking for, but do not be mislead, you'll love it...this place has something on the menu for everybody, and it's heavenly. Staff are really nice and they can't do enough for you. P.S. ignore the axe handle in the photo, that was from the hardware store up the road. Hahaha.

Lovely spot in the middle of town with inside and outside seating. The outside seating is great being in the shadow of Hay Castle. Lovely, friendly staff, great food, a tad expensive, but worth it. A great bike ride stop.

It’s the most popular cafe shop in Hay-On-Wye. It’s not only selling coffee and icecream but also selling fresh cooked sandwiches with sourdough bread slices. We all enjoyed the food very much especially the Cheese Melt and Tuna Sandwich! The icecream is made of Welsh local milk and we really liked the natural Icecream taste not too sweet👍 Worth a go although it was quite crowded and had to wait for a while Will definitely go back again.

Have been here a few times. It has a beautiful interior and is in a great location. The coffees are hit or miss. The americanos are always good, but the gingerbread latte we had this week was really unpleasant. Tasted like drinking bitter syrup. The staff are usually really nice, but the lady that was working recently seemed annoyed we were there ordering a coffee. It was first thing in the morning, but it’s not that hard to smile and say good morning back.

We visited the village for the bookshops and we had a strong coffee in this beautiful place. The girls are nice and it looks clean and tidy. The sandwiches are delicious. It is a recommended place to visit.

We stopped here for lunch on a quiet Tuesday - the cafe is beautiful. We had the pesto melt focaccia and the grilled cheese on sourdough; both were delicious, as was the ice cream (we went for peanut butter and chocolate [vegan flavour] and blackcurrant and vanilla). 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for lunch or a sweet treat in Hay-on-Wye!

Always have a lovely visit here when we travel . Lovely friendly staff ,great coffee and great atmosphere

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I drank a latte coffee here to chill out with some of my books I had bought in Hay during the first part of the day. Been here several times and can also recommend the ice-cream.

If you like ice cream then a visit to Shepherds ice cream parlour in Hay on Wye is a must!!! All year round they have about 16 different flavours in stock and alongside the usual they always have some seasonal exotic ones like lavender,liquorice,ginger,Christmas pudding,fig etc which means each time you visit they have a new flavour to try. You can sit in and eat or they do takeaway and you can combine your ice cream with hot waffles or have it as a milkshake, Inside they also serve really nice paninis,freshly made sandwiches,hot chocolate,coffee etc and of course ice cream sundaes!! Hay on Wye is well known for its bookshops,but I prefer it as the town with a sensational ice cream parlour!!!

Lovely little café with good facilities for young children. From the outside it looks smaller than it is!

Yummy, really good sheep milk ice cream a must visit after a hard canoe trip. They also do gluten free cake. Gods place for paleo people to go.
