Every student raves about Spartacus, I've gone many years without trying it, it was time to change that. Now I want to stress I've been picking up Spartacus products from the Spars and University cafes etc. This is not based on the premise of the building. So ignore any rating for service. Meals: The Welsh one, Turkey Coleslaw, All day breakfast, Sausage cheese chutney to name a few. Pros: The Ciabatta bread on these sandwich is to die for. Completely fresh inside but crispy outside. I'd be extremely shocked if these were bought in frozen and defrosted. The Welsh One: Ham, cheese and coleslaw. Can't fault it, has been nice each time. Sausage, Apple and Chutney: Now in school I had this combo...
We ordered 2 baguettes and 2 sandwiches with 4 soft drinks and were asked for £26.90, when I challenged why so expensive I was met with a lot of rudness from the manager, basically tried to argue with me, I'm sorry but this this Aberystwyth not London, to charge £6 for a baguette considering it costs about 50p to make is ridiculous, we walked out before the food was made and was shouted at as we walked out, avoid at all cost
Walking around Aberystwyth, we came across Spartacus (one of the few places open at 08:30 in the morning, near the train station and stopped for breakfast. Friendly albeit slow service. Good quality wholesome food though a tad pricey. Nice cafe latte. Overall a good experience. Only issue was the complete lack of customer toilets.
I have been a loyal customer of Sparatacus for several years, but I am disappointed with my recent experiences. The baguette fillings seem to be less generous, with hardly any cheese and just a small amount of coleslaw. For a price of over £5, I expect a better amount of filling in my baguette.

The price for a baguette at £5.90 is ridiculous considering the lack of filling. The sandwich only contains 5 small pieces of chicken and a small amount of coleslaw. In the past, the baguettes were filled generously, but now they leave you feeling hungry. Overall, very disappointing.
I ran in quickly after visiting my mum in hospital before I had to get the train home. Nice to be met with a friendly helpful face. Lovely cuppa tea , chocolate brownie and a freshly made baguette while you wait. Would definitely recommend.
Ordered salad bowl which was a small plate and the panini came with nothing, be nice to have it with a little side salad etc,
I had the chicken, pesto and mozzarella panini. It was a great bite for lunch as-well as filling, the staff were friendly.

We stopped by to pick up some sandwiches for the whole family. They were very fresh and appealing. We loved all of them.
Fresh baguettes and a family must when we visit Aberystwyth. Looking forward to our next BLT or Prawn based servings.
