Carpanini's cafe in Treorchy continues the tradition of selling a combination of food, drink, cigarettes, sweets and ice cream. The decor in Carpanini's dates back to the 1960s. The cafe was opened by Ernesto Carpanini in 1947, and is now run by his children - Irene, Pietro, Gianmarco and Francesco. This is one of two Bracchi cafe's left in the Rhondda Valleys.
