A NEW bakery-focused café is set to open soon in Llanwrtyd Wells, with the owners new to Powys, having recently moved from Wiltshire.
TOST Bakehouse is believed to be taking over the former Caffi Sosban shop located in The Square in the town centre, after it announced in July it was closing, after three years.
The new shop has launched a Facebook page and has been teasing an opening date over the last few weeks.
TOST is the Welsh word for ‘toast’ and the new shop says it will be a cross between a bakery and a coffee shop.
“We’re Chris and Debs, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the warmth and welcome of this community — thank you for making us feel so at home,” read a post on the TOST Bakehouse Facebook page on September 6.
“Over the past month we’ve made great progress with our little café. The front of house is taking shape, and we’re now turning to the kitchen with new flooring going down and fresh equipment arriving — including a new espresso barista coffee machine and specialist sourdough kit.
“Next up will be the outside: a fresh lick of paint and our new signage.”
The post added: “TOST” is the Welsh word for toast. It also comes from the tradition of roasting bread, which later evolved into dipping it in wine and raising a toast in celebration.

“We love this idea of celebrating great food, great people, and great community, exactly what we hope this place will be.
“We’ll be baking sourdough, cakes and pastries on-site, and serving wholesome food and drinks with care.
“We’ll keep using this window to share updates on the menu, the look and of course our opening date.
“If you see us around town, please do say hello — we’d love to meet more of our new neighbours. Looking forward to raising a TOST with you soon.”
The new bakery-cafe also has a website, with a statement reading: “Just as the spring once brought people together in search of health and connection, we see TOST Bakehouse as a modern-day gathering place.
“Here, locals and visitors can meet, celebrate good food, share good company and raise a TOST to community, connection and the simple pleasures of life.
“For years, Debs has been baking and creating with a kind of kitchen sorcery, a natural flair for mixing ingredients, balancing nutrients and turning them into food that’s both nourishing and unforgettable.
“What started as a dream has grown into TOST Bakehouse: a place in the heart of Llanwrtyd Wells where locals and visitors gather over fresh bread, seasonal bakes and a warm welcome.
