The Workhouse Gallery and Cafe

Favourite place to meet friends. Excellent coffee, Portuguese custard tarts and croissants in the morning. Soups, salads and delicious frittata at lunch. Friendly, relaxed and stylish. the gallery has lots of lovely products, jewellery, clothes and rugs. Highly recommend - a hidden gem on Presteigne Industrial Estate.

Delicious coffee and cakes as well as light lunches, in surroundings where you can look at and enjoy browsing a wide and eclectic selection of books, toys, gifts, jewellery, stationery, clothes and more including work by local artists. Upstairs is an excellent rug and carpet gallery. A worthwhile short deviation from the centre of Presteigne to enjoy a most enjoyable coffee stop.

Brilliant place for buying gifts and super cakes in the cafe, dont miss it if you visit Presteigne or the nearby Sidney Nolan Trust. If you fancy s day out, progress onto The Bleddfa Centre, an arts centre in Wales also with a great cafe and fabulous landscape. Check opening times before visiting.

I've been twice now and each time has been brilliant! Fabulous food, genuinely lovely staff and all round fantastic vibe to the place.

Such a lovely setting - stunning buildings, outside area and just gorgeous things to purchase. Very friendly staff.

Unfortunately the coffee wasn't the best, in fact it was so hot my decaf latte actually burnt my tongue! And it meant that the milk had lost all its sweetness so was slightly bitter. Cups were a bit too big even for a double shot latte which meant it wasn't strong enough. Coffee flavour was okay, milk texture was okay but a little on the thin side; my mother-in-law's cappuccino had hardly any froth.

I didn't have one personally but were told the cakes, in particular the Portuguese custard tarts and cinnamon buns, were delicious.

Would probably be a lovely place to go if you just wanted tea and cake!

A winning combination of art gallery and coffee shop. Delicious coffee and treats to be enjoyed before or after having viewed the magnificent artwork which is to be admired and bought if a piece takes your fancy.

A cosy, friendly cafe which feels like a retreat. The craft shop is a veritable treasure trove of responsibly sourced and fascinating products. And the shop carries a huge range of hand woven carpets, every one a unique work of art. Well worth a visit.

We had lunch sitting outside on their beautiful patio area. I had onion bhaji with rhubarb & chilli chutney which was delicious.
We had a look around the shop after lunch. They had some lovely jewellery and rugs (and lots more), quite pricey though.
