The saddest news of all. A business there for just shy of 90 years. And a casualty of the closure of St David’s College. This is going to happen all over the country where and when universities and colleges start closing down due to the higher education funding crisis.

The end of an era.... Conti's Cafe's Lampeter and Llanerchaeron 2h • O It was not a decision taken lightly but due to very deep personal reasons the doors of Conti's Cafe in Lampeter will close for the very last time tomorrow. The memories will live on for many of you who frequented the cafe i'm sure there are many stories to share, if only walls could talk. A warm welcome is extended to you all to visit the cafe for the last time, Bryn Fon will be present from around 3 onwards to entertain you all.

Conti's Cafe, Lampeter. 1933-2026. More or less as it was when I was there. This photo's from 2008 but before it was renovated, so it's pretty much as I remember it. Home to a jukebox with a ferociously warped copy of Taja Sevelle's Love Is Contagious & vendor of the best coffee in West Wales. -

A cafe called Conti's in Lampeter, Wales. There's a large plastic ice cream to the left of a brown front door. The storefront is a kind of faded yellow colour. An old wooden sign has Conti's Cafe carved into it. Through the big glass window you can see hanging light bulbs in clear glass lampshades and evidence of a dark, fuggy interior and the dim shapes of a few people. There's a massive pot plant in the right of the window. On the wall next to the window is a notice board that probably has council notices on it. It wasn't the sort of place to have a menu.

& a slant & eerie gloam breathe in heat & dust distance filtered through haze swallows chitter & zeep at home in a world of sticky tangle grasshopper warbler casts & reels an insect's song invisible deep in plantation & close at hand

Often the full death toll of weather extremes isn’t revealed until weeks, months, even years after the event occurs.
