2. New Ranges to Explore

With the extra space, we’ve been able to extend our offering to include exciting new products you’ve been asking for. You’ll now find:

  • A carefully chosen selection of organic and sustainable wines – perfect for a special treat or a thoughtful gift.
  • Freshly baked savoury and sweet snacks , made in house to go alongside the breads and pastries from The Angel Bakery.
  • Coffee to drink outside or take away, so you can grab a warming brew as you browse or head off on your Crickhowell adventures.
  • A freezer section stocked with frozen fruit, pies, bake at home cookies, plus vegan butter and cheeses – ideal for smoothies, breakfasts or healthy snacks at home.

Of course, we’re still offering the full range of refillable wholefoods, household essentials, and personal care products you know and love.


3. Takeaway Tea, Coffee & Fresh Bakes

We’re delighted to now offer coffee to drink outside the shop or to take away, using coffee beans roasted by Jim at Rate Of Rise in Abergavenny. To stay true to our ethos we don’t offer single use coffee cups, instead you can loan a lovely reusable cup from us (or better yet, your own!). Pair it with one of our freshly baked goodies for the perfect mid-morning or lunchtime treat.
