The Electric Coffee bar
We make excellent coffee, serve loose-leaf teas and the finest cakes and savoury baked goods in a relaxed, community atmosphere.
No longer serving lunches - we’re all about the coffee, cakes and booze here now!
We do occasional evening opening, for music, gallery openings or other fun stuff; keep an eye on here and on our socials to see what’s going on.
Come to spend some time…
what’s on at the old electric?
“I loved my experience in The Old Electric Shop. My son and I went in for some coffee and came out with books, beautiful pottery, candles and cards. It has a cool vibe and the coffee and cakes were delicious.”
“Fabulous and Quirky
Found this place by accident but what a treat. It had lots of rooms to explore and then coffee and cake. Everything including the furniture you sat on/at was for sale. We loved this place.”
“Hay’s hippest cafe inhabits an eclectic junk-shop-like space crammed with studios selling new and vintage clothing, furniture and, of course, books. Some nights (every night during the Hay Festival) the Electric Shop puts on a pop-up cocktail bar, often with live music.”
