Bay Cafe in Isle of Anglesey

Our second visit to this lovely cafe with fantastic views, we’ve enjoyed ice cream cakes and today an amazing breakfast! Staff so friendly and helpful and lovely to experience freshly cooked food made with love. Definitely be back soon. 😊

As usual tasty excellent food in a lovely location. The staff are always pleasant and the menu interesting. Dogs are allowed on the outside patio but not inside which is rather cold when weather is chilly but the cafe is small inside.

The perfect place for a breakfast, coffee or lunch. Delicious food, beautiful setting and great service. Even though we visited in October we could sit outside overlooking Benllech beach, Red Wharf Bay and beyond. A firm favourite which we often visit.

Waited over 35 mins for food and it only appeared as I chased it up. My husband had seafood tangatelli which was ok. I ordered scampi, the peas were cold the chips were lyke warm and the scampi not much better. Scampi seemed very greasy. I get the feeling that it had been sat on the side waiting to be delivered. You definitely have a problem with staff. From my experience I would not recommend this place which is a shame.

Not sure why Trip Advisor says closed, definitely isn't. Numerous visits this week, couldn't fault anything - great coffee, fab cakes, lovely breakfast. All served with a smile, and an amazing view. Dog friendly too. Highly recommend.

The staff were perfectly friendly but unfortunately there weren’t enough of them. The food was lovely. The only downside was that the mugs and cutlery were quite filthy and the flat white seemed more like a very milky latte.

Gorgeous place to eat overlooking the beach. Absolutely fantastic. Service was very good the breakfast was good. Will return at some point.

Love our visits. Today however left feeling a little disappointed. Lovely view over the bay. Lovely choice of food. My husband’s steak pie & chips was hot & very tasty. However my Southern Chicken wrap was disappointing. Everything - chicken & chips were lukewarm. The chicken was obviously chopped & shaped & had no taste at all. Poor quality. Would definitely not choose this again. Will continue to visit as love the place.

The Bay Cafe was closed despite the board on the gate saying that it was supposed to be open. We came specifically for lunch here due to good reviews.

Busy little cafe with great views but that’s where the positives end. Ordered 2 breakfasts, 1 large and one small, tea is extra. Firstly the sausages were off, I had the usual strange taste of old, out of date sausage that is the giveaway. Next the bacon which I’m sure was cooked on the radiator as it was damn near raw. The one fried egg on the other hand was burnt and crisp. It’s not good value here by any means either. Won’t be going again that’s for sure.

Thankfully not on holiday, poor full breakfast for the price. Sausage tasted cheap, beans tasted sweet, and lacked any

Stopped for a winter Sunday lunch . Food was excellent, and great value for money. I'm sure in the summer sat on the balcony over looking the beach it's a great spot

Cheerful, quick service. Bacon exceptional. Great value full English breakfast. The weather prohibited sitting outside and taking in the view.

If only the rest of the community were as friendly and welcoming. Overnight camping is not tolerated in Anglesey even tho we are a couple in our 50’s just wanting to view the beauty they take for granted

Had a Full English breakfast twice during our stay in Benllech and this was the best of the two. I’d arrive 10/15 minutes before they open to bag an outside table with a fabulous view of the bay.

Our go to place for breakfast with a really excellent full English. The bacon was nicely cooked and very thick. We did need to have extra shots of coffee in our lattes though.

We have as a family used the cafe for many years pre/covid so we decided to lunch at the Bay the other day . Do have to say the service was good but the experience not too good . The presentation of the food poor and varying degrees of cooking re three gammon ! Thought menu selection poor with then two specials gammon or a meat pie ! the menu used to be very varied to suit all tastes but found it very restrictive ! The plus is location and indeed the staff service / keep your breakfast on over lunch ?

Been visiting here from time to time over many years and the food has always been really good on every occasion. A varied menu, good service and fair prices, with alcohol available if required !. It must be one of the best cafes in Wales in which to eat outside with its location and views across the bay.

Lovely spot overlooking the bay, great choice of food and drinks, outside seating and dogs welcome. There is a small carpark but plenty of parking on the road.

Had ham and cheese toastie and a cheese and tomato toastie, both of which were delicious. As we were accompanied by a dog we sat outside and enjoyed the experience despite the frequent showers. After a short walk we returned to the cafe to enjoy another latte and tea with homemade scrumptious Victoria sponge snd a coffee and walnut sponge. Service was also second to none. Llongyfarchiadau mawr- ardderchog!

Visited a number of times for lunch, or cake & tea. This time for breakfast. Sat outside overlooking the sea. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Will continue to visit.

We went more than once to this café in the week we were in Anglesey. We experienced lovely food at reasonable prices & good service. We has mums breakfast today but yesterday we had the panini which were delicious and a homemade scone for dessert :) Fantastic view of Benllech beach, you are practically on it! They have seating inside but there are plenty of tables outside when it is hot & sunny I would 100% recommend this café oh and they have a licence!

Great location for lunch - the views from the outside seating area were fab. We were outside as we had our dog with us and we expected/accepted a longer wait as we were a party of 6 adults and a child . The quality of the food was very good and decent portion sizes. I must admit that those who chose the tasty paninis were still a little jealous of the pie and chips eater in our group! We were too full to manage a cake but they looked awesome … maybe next time… Staff were very friendly and our waitress made a fuss of our dog !

Excellent menu and food, you can literally get everything here. Hot food, sandwiches and delicious cakes... a good cuppa too... Sandwiches with chips where so good. Beautiful fresh food... staff are friendly and welcoming, the cafe itself is clean and comfortable. Lovely deck outside to eat overlooking the bay. Highly recommended every time...

An excellent breakfast, would highly recommend. Great friendly service. Good quality food. Would go back again

We love it here! Lovely super clean cafe, with spectacular view of Benllech beach. We love the breakfast choices, but have also had light lunch here. Glorious place to sit outside, weather permitting. The staff here are so smiley and friendly, and work hard. Very welcoming. We are back in Benllech in October, and will definitely be visiting Bay Cafe. ( I'll be buying some fresh local free range eggs too! )

Great little cafe - plenty of tables outside & a few indoors although they’re a tight squeeze with one wall given over to tourist confectionery & kiddies toys. All very clean with a beach shack surfer vibe. It’s primarily burgers or pizzas & lovely looking...

Money trap with views. Ordered a panini which was £7. Bits bacon and cranberry. Arrived with side salad looking impressive. One small slice of Brie. Two tiny pieces of bacon snd loads of sauce. The extra chips added to the panini saved the day. Great...

Visited on a sunny bank holiday Monday around 2pm. Found a nice table outside with a stunning view of the entire beach. The menus had plenty on there to suit all and I ordered a cheese and had toastie, husband had the cheese burger with...

I had to revisit, willing to travel well out of my way to enjoy this breakfast , superb again ! , top quality products , the sausages 10/10 . Added some Items this time , great location, great breakfast !

Top notch place for 2 cups of great coffee ( Latte and Capucinno ) very good service and reasonable prices, we will return for lunch another day. Barb and Brian Evans

Proper breakfast ! Immense sausages, everything tasted fantastic and a lovely view at the window. Friendly staff, the only disappointment was having no Mushrooms and then seeing mushrooms on a vegetarian breakfast later on. Stunning breakfast will defo be back, do not miss !!

So impressed with the choice of gluten free cakes for our Sunday afternoon tea. Chose the lemon meringue pie, delicious.

We’ve been here many times, but today (Mothers Day) we went as a family for Sunday lunch. The cafe was busy inside and out, but the staff worked hard and gave good service. Roast beef and slow cooked pork, served with roast potatoes and a...

They have a nice outdoor area overlooking Benllech Bay, but plenty of room inside if the weather is bad. Great selection of coffees, teas, cakes and cooked meals.

Stopped for coffee and cake with our cocker spaniel. Weather was warm despite it being January so able to sit outside and enjoy the view of the beach and snow capped mountains in the distance. Lots of homemade cakes to choose from. We shares a...

Don’t do vegan cake turn down. Also not much vegan option in the menu. The latte with oat milk i have to left it cuz taste like washing up liquid. And strong smell of it. Nice place. Nice view. Price wasn't that bad.

Caffi bendigedig, bwyd da a chroeso Cymreig a Chymraeg. One of the best views on Anglesey, over Benllech beach, with lovely food and friendly accomodating staff to boot. Varied menu and delicious home made cakes and puddings. Diolch yn fawr!

Called in on the way to the beautiful beach and we were all delighted with the delicious cakes, friendly service and superb view.

A rather mediocre lunch...we came with high expectations but found under-cooked chips with a fairly low quality burger, over-cooked kids mac & cheese, gristley steak pie and an average chicken curry. We expected much more so left rather disappointed. Sorry guys.

Had lunch here on friday 26th. Prawn sandwich, prawn jacket&Tuna melt. The food was really good. I had prawn sandwich&salad. Salad was very fresh, you could tell it hadn't been pre prepared in pots early morning. 1 slight comment, would love more sauce with the...

The food was average, but we waited for about an hour and the staff was having lunch and we had to watch it even after half an hour I warned them that we were waiting too long...we lost time for the next trip and they...

Called in for a quick pint. Both beers a bit warm but quickly replaced by a lovely lady called Emma. These were also replaced by drinks which were great. Food looked good although we did not eat. Customer service and interaction with Emma first class....

Catching up on a review I should have done sooner. What a find ! We decided to visit Benllech while on holiday in Anglesey in May. After a lovely beach walk along the beach noticed this little cafe. Lovely seating outside & friendly staff. We...

We had coffee and a sandwich with was nice, the girl who served us had horrible nail polish that was all chipping and looked like it needed a good wash, I bought a piece of apple pie to take out the size the young lad...

Visited for lunch sitting overlooking the beach in the sun. Our Second visit this week. Enjoyed wine & beer, garlic prawns, prawn baguettes, raspberry coconut slice & tea. We could not fault a thing. Really friendly staff. Toilets were excellent. Noticed baby changing facilities -...

Pleasant location with views, from the balcony seating area, over and along the length of Benllech beach. I opted for the meat pie and was told there was a 10 minute wait, the pub was in the oven. How fresh could that be? It came...

Friendly cafe, serving breakfast, lunch and evening meals. Fully licenced. Beautiful view, overlooking the bay. Pleasant spot for a bite to eat.

Lovely cafe with very professional and friendly staff. Ideal for just a coffee or a full meal. The breakfasts are great. Lovely views over the beach

We are regular visitors to this cafe. The service is always good and the food freshly prepared. Prices are reasonable. What’s not to like? 🤓

Great, busy cafe ( there was a queue at 9.55 waiting for the 10am opening!). Very tasty menu, brilliant view over the bay when sat outside eating, parking for a few cars on site but loads of parking down the road, Great prices too, so...

We went Saturday and Sunday for breakfast it was a little pricey but we'll worth it for the food and the fabulous views and the excellent service an absolute gem of a place will definitely return in the future

Came today for coffee and cake. Cant believe how reasonable it was and the cakes were so nice. Very friendly girl serving and a nice decked outdoor area overlooking the sea. The cakes and desserts in the cooler looked delicious. Wish I had spotted the...

Visited at lunch time. One beef roast dinner, beef nice yorkshire puds soggy, veg a bit mushy gravy nice. One cheese & Onion toastie - very average not really like any toastie I have ever had didnt look like it had been in a toastie...

Our drinks and cake were lovely, staff nice. Plenty of choice on the menu The loos needed a refurb ASAP. Therefore the reason for the 3 star rating.

I do wish to bore you. We visited for four people. The menu was chees toastee, cheese sandwich, cheese bauget. After 45 minutes, we nearly were leaving. They couldn't get that right.

Love this place. Got there at opening time. The lad on the counter very friendly and chatty and opened up the terrace for us when we asked to sit outside. Views are superb. Wish my dad was still around. He was a connoisseur of the...

Glad we visited today. What an amazing position the cafe has over looking the bay. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food was superb and the drinks were excellent. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant location and food . The views are lovely. Good food and service too. Lovely full breakfast and a good selection of cakes .

Gorgeous location very warm day sat under cover but lots of sliding doors open. Very slow service took half an hour to order both drinks and food. Good lunch menu. I had whitebait which was unfortunately breadcrumbed which wasn’t mentioned on menu. Moms had panini...

This place is situated right on the beach, fantastic views of the bay and outside seating when the weather is being kind. We had several breakfasts during our stay and all were served nice and hot. Prices are sensible, the only issue we had was...

Drove to this cafe after seeing some of the reviews listed here. Unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. We ordered 2 breakfasts, one large and one veggie. The menu listed no swaps, which was a shame as I knew I wouldn't like...

What a beautiful cafe for a coffee stop. The sun was shining, fantastic views and coffee and cake perfect. Well worth a visit .

We couldn’t stop coming back. So friendly, beautiful food and dog friendly. Thanks to the young man for giving our Goldies snacks and water! Stunning views too!

Enjoyed two trips to this cafe last week. Coffee good, v friendly young man, great views, clean and tidy place. WEll done to all, managing well under these trying circumstances.

Really enjoyed having delicious bacon sandwiches and hot chocolate on a bright sunny morning. Very friendly staff. Highly Recommend

Worth having a drink there just for the view over the bay. Food ok, what you would expect from a beachside cafe. Service though was excellent and always felt protected and all precautions were being taken

As per usual great cafe and newly refurbished veranda outside. Food always good. The so helpful. Varied menu and quick service.

Lovely views sat outside staff friendly lovely food and drink worth a visit good prices and a lovely little sun trap with fabulous views

Lovely home cooked breakfast served on the terrace in the sunshine. Food was hot and tasty in gorgeous surroundings, but unfortunately due to covid the indoor and toilet facilities were unavailable. The cakes looked amazing so will definitely be back in an afternoon for tea...

Jimmy and carys both do a fantastic job at running their business down at the bay cafe . We went for breakfast with the family and it was very tasty , you get great value for your money with the portion size and amazing views...

Really beautiful little spot - great cafe, lovely staff, delicious cakes and yummy hot chocolates&coffees. We stopped here after walking along the beach from Red Wharf Bay and had a coffees, hot chocolates and a selection of cakes - all were delicious!!We didn’t order any meals but the food that we saw looked really good.The staff were great - friendly, helpful and professional.The only negative is that they haven’t got any toilet facilities (they do have toilets but these are currently closed due to Covid) - which when visiting with children isn’t great!!! Lots of other places are managing to have their toilet facilities open for customers and they simply take details for track and trace and ensure regular cleaning/sanitising. If you’re expecting customers to come and visit and purchase food & drinks then you should be offering toilet facilities for them to use if needed.Luckily there are public toilets just opposite Benllech beach which were open on the day we visited (but we were informed that these aren’t always open).

We popped in here for breakfast during our holiday in Angelesey on the recommendation of our holiday accommodation owner.The setting overlooking the bay - as its name suggests - is ideal and the cafe boasts a modern, clean terrace for pandemic-distanced dining.Staff were all polite and helpful.The menu was basic and possibly reduced as a result of changes during the pandemic. That's perfectly acceptable but does mean what you do serve up should be done well. The food was average and the pricing questionable - the veggie breakfast was charged at the same price as the large breakfast (mushrooms and hash brown instead of two sausages, two bacon and black pudding).We asked to swap the fried bread on the veggie breakfast for toast and were pointed to a note on the menu saying 'no swapping'. So we paid extra for toast - fair enough. However the breakfast then arrived without the fried bread (which my partner was looking forward to stealing from my plate!). So we weren't allowed to swap, but they were allowed to just 'not include'.Another star lost for the passive aggressive approach: 'no swapping', 'don't use our bins...how would you like it if we used yours'.

We were a group of 7 people and were looking for a lite lunch and refreshments.After waiting a short while for a table for us all, which was no problem as it gave us time to look at the menu and decide what each of us were going to order, we were seated.Service was excellent and the snacks, a mixture of toasties, paninis and cod goujons, were all fantastic.The view over the bay just added to a great time to catch up and enjoy the visit.

recently visited during our holiday . It was so good we went twice. Social distancing measures were excellent. Food was out of this world. Best place for a breakfast in Anglesey.

We stumbled upon this cafe a few days ago and enjoyed a coffee here on a rather blustery day! The coffee was superb as was the view. We had to sit outside to comply with COVID 19 regulations. The cafe was very well set up to keep everyone safe. They have recently refurbished their outside area and is now beautiful decking and glass windbreaks. I will visit again before the end of my holiday!

Fabulous food , our party had mushrooms with garlic dip , ham and cheese toastie , tea cake , scampi and took several cakes home with us , we sat outside as we had the dog with us , but inside looked lovely and after a stroll on the beach it was just what we needed to sit down and enjoy our food and coffees whilst watching the tide come in . The service was great , the staff were really friendly and I would definitely recommend it as the menu and specials all looked yummy

Lovely cosy cafe with a great view. The staff were very friendly.We ordered the ham and cheese panini, homemade beef stew and the welsh wonder which consisted of a crusty cob with sausage and onions with chips. All were generous portions and reasonably priced.We purchased some home made mince pies to take away which proved to be delicious.

I would alway choose to eat here as the food is lovely. Very affordable the staff are lovely and everything is very clean what more can you ask for

We had to sit outside as we had a dog. The views are gorgeous but rather cold on a October Saturday morning.Due to the no dog rules we didn't eat as it would go cold to quick.Drinks were ok but for an independent run business the staff or owner whoever served us was very unfriendly.

A small and busy cafe with seating inside and outside. The outside seating overlooks the beach. A varitey of food and drink is on offer at reasonable prices. There maybe waiting time at certain times, but well worth the wait

Had breakfast here again this year and it’s as good as ever. Full breakfast with coffee. Typical breakfast with fried bread and toast. Good portions and good quality and excellent coffee. Quick service if you’re in early but it is popular with a queue forming ahead of open time at 9.30 am on Saturday morning. Great views are just a bonus.

Eaten here when visiting mom several times. Busy atmosphere bustling with families & dogs. Today we both chose baked spuds with tuna & sweetcorn. Queue to order but delivered promptly. No cutlery had to request. Huge portions slightly luke warm. guess as tuna is cold on top of potato made it cold, disappointing. Great view of bay from table 24 in extension. Will be back tho.

This is a lovely cafe that does snacks to full meals. Really lovely atmosphere and fantastic gluten free choices too. Would definitely recommend it to all.

Had an evening meal here and was really impressed. You definitely need to book in advance especially in the summer months as this is not a big place and only has a small amount of room. Staff were very helpful, service was quick and food was excellent. On this occasion we decided to have a starter unfortunately this meant that there was no room for dessert and even though we were advised that they did do take away. We were just too full and content.

I took my youngest son for lunch whilst the rest of the family were on a jet ski course. The cafe is small and a little cramped but does have some tables outside. The view over Benllech beach is amazing. The food was delicious, very big portions. We only had main courses, and my son loved the gammon steak .The staff were fine but no overly friendly, considering it is a tourist town.

We’d read good reviews about the cafe and so went to try it for ourselves and weren’t disappointed. We all had a tasty breakfast which was served swiftly and cooked really well. Staff were friendly and breakfast was reasonably priced.

Called in after a walk along the coastal path. Just had a cream tea and coffee. Scones were terribly crumbly but tasty strawberry jam was poor, really, cream ok. I think mine was better than my husband's he wasn't impressed at all, food had been dropped on the floor around our table yak. So don't think we'd choose to visit again

Visited for lunch with family, great views, quick service and nice cakes. Would recommend when in Benllech.

Stopped for coffee one day and on seeing breakfasts went back the next day to join everyone else enjoying theirs! Nice combination at good price. Only four stars because they didn’t have tomatoes but didn’t offer a substitution.

Real gem on the beach that serves breakfast to dinner

What a treat this place is. The food is delicious, we came for dinner and it couldn’t be faulted I highly recommend the minty lamb casserole. The desserts looked amazing, but I was too full to have one. The service was impeccable from the friendly staff, it was a shame it was raining when we visited as the view from the patio over the beach looked great.

This was my second visit to this little gem.

We have been visiting here many years and it gets better every time. The service is 100% . Nothing is too much trouble. They’re breakfasts are amazing . How anyone can give them 1 when they haven’t even been there is beyond me and the people that say the food is awful you obviously are living in a dream world !!!

We holiday in Anglesey every year and this is our go to place for breakfasts which are the best! Friendly staff and reasonable prices make this a pleasurable experience. Been coming here for years and not had one bad breakfast at all. Really recommended!

Came in April when we enjoyed great food and hospitality. Returned as promised in July and received the same high quality of food and service. This time, we visited for an evening meal and for breakfast on the day of our departure. Full marks for food, friendliness, efficiency and location. Keep up the good work!

We had the gammon steaks and oate and all the fiid was delicious. The service was extremely friendly and the cafe had a lovely atmosphere. There is an outside space with great views and dogs were definitely welcome. The people on the table next to us said their food was excellent too. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.

Perfect place on a warm summers day to enjoy a meal overlooking the beach. Couldn't fault the food, very good - no complaints. I had scampi and my husband had the lamb casserole, both enjoyable. Dogs are allowed outside.

The food was lovely, except they forgot our drinks! We were in there for an hour, and they didn’t bring our drinks. I was enjoying it at the start but it didn’t end well

Possibly the worst cafe I’ve ever been to.
