I recently moved to a new area of Aberdare, a former mining town called Cwmaman. On the way to view the house we noticed a tea room around the corner and were pleasantly surprised to find it there. It looked quaint and inviting and if I'm honest, it did factor in our decision to take the new place.
When we got back we Googled it and found that it has its own website complete with tea and coffee menus as well as info about the free wifi and food and pastries available.

The weekend before we moved house, I went to the new place with a friend to clean and do a spot of painting. Before we picked up the paintbrushes we decided a caffeine boost was badly need. We took the short walk to the tea room, Queen Ti's tea room, and shared a cafetiere of the punchy Guatemala Cloud Forest coffee.
After the heavy lifting and stress of the actual move, The Fella and I went to use the wifi facility and indulge in some coffee and snacks. The Fella had the lushest carrot cake that was so moist with fresh cream icing. I also realised how immersed in local history the place is. The kind owner showed us files she had compiled about the history of the area with lots of photos, as well as albums with photos about the Stereophonics who are local boys. She also had some heartwarming anecdotes about Stuart Cable, the late drummer.
Local charities and events are also supported with posters on the walls and musicians in the area can rent the space to practice.
All in all, I feel so lucky to live so close to a place like this and urge anyone within driving distance to visit!
