CWTCH Pottery Cafe is a place that I've heard very good things about since it's time in Rossett, and earlier this week I tried it out for the first time. 

The cafe, famed for its pottery painting, moved into the former Starbucks site at Eagles Meadow, from its original site in Rossett. 

It completed the move in February, after its grand opening with former Mayor of Wrexham Andy Williams and former Wrexham AFC CEO Fleur Robinson completing the official launch of the new site. 

My partner had been to a painting and prosecco event last year and despite being very pleased with her pottery, had never had food there. 

So whilst being in town on Thursday I thought I'd pop in and try it out. 

I didn't have time to get myself a bowl or plate to bring home with me, I just wanted some food and a coffee!

Walking in, and the cafe is laid out very similarly to the former Starbucks store, I approached the counter, ordered a cappuccino and was told to take a seat before coming back to the till to order. 

The coffee was £3.25, which is what you'd expect to pay for a cappuccino these days and it was massive, so it was definitely money's worth, it came piping hot and was pretty good.

The menu offered more than I expected, there were several breakfast options (served until 11.30am daily) like a full English breakfast, veggie breakfast, beans on toast and eggs on toast. 

There were also a wide range of lunch options from sandwiches and paninis to jacket potatoes, salads and burgers. 

It was too early for lunch so I went for the buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and fruit (£5.25).

Paying just over a fiver for any meal these days is somewhat of a bargain, so I was impressed with the pricing. 

After a small wait, my three pancakes came out and it looked good. The pancakes themselves were tasty, light and fluffy, which was nice on a warm day. 

However, if I was to be picky, it perhaps could have come with some more fruit, the same could be said about the syrup, which made the last few bites fairly dry. 

Paying £8.50 for breakfast and a coffee is pretty good value for money, but I wouldn't have minded paying a little bit more for some more fruit or syrup with them. 

It would have been nice if someone had popped over to check if I was enjoying my food too, but for value for money, when we are still in a cost of living crisis, the café does deliver.
