Breakwater Country Park Cafe in Isle of Anglesey

The weather was hot , we ordered a pot of tea to share , my only observation is the outdoor table we were on needs repairing ( see the photos ) a lot of money has been spent in the location , why not repair the damaged tables .

Sadly brick site exhibition is so overgrown with wild growth it lets the place down. Especially as its first thing you see driving in. Cafe need to offer decent coffee. Good feature was kids park, great attention to offering good experience to children here. A bit of effort would bring this up to a 5 star attraction.

Well positioned cafe in the cou try park, glad we were passing on a Friday so they were open. Reviving pot of tea, and delicious homemade cakes, really enjoyed my very lemony lemon drizzle :-) Lovely light space to sit in, friendly staff, great value.

Felt a bit like a charity/community cafe, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Staffing issues affect so many cafes these days, and lack of sufficient staff meant a long queue to order and a significant wait for food. Fortunately, we had plenty of time but the delay caused problems for other visitors (lots of grumbling/demanding refunds). Sandwiches were adequate. Beautiful location. Plenty of parking. Public loos.

Lovely cooked breakfast at a very reasonable price, which included toast and a hot drink. We were so impressed, we went back again the following morning! The staff were very friendly had helpful too.

Compared to a lot of cafes we’ve tried this week this cafe was amongst the best - mainly because it was open and serving food at 3.30pm! They have a dog friendly room, toilets and serve the usual cakes, toasties, chips etc. the food was freshly made, tasty and cheap. The staff were also really friendly and made a fuss of our dog.

Had heard that the opening of this cafe was hit and miss so took our own sandwiches and coffee. Visited yesterday Friday 18th March 2022. Cafe closed despite the beautiful weather and the children's park being very full. A coach full of school children there also on a school trip. No alternative available for ice cream so a great opportunity for an ice cream van.

2 ok coffees, ordered the cheese burger. Dry tasteless. No suggestion of garnish, but more to the point, ungrilled grated cheese. No fried onions ketchup mayo or ANYTHING. Asked for mayo and ketchup. 2 sachets of ketchup were plonked down . Dont go

My wife and I have been here several times in recent days after discovering the cafe during a walk to North Stack from Holyhead. For a small, sparsely staffed cafe in one of the less well-known tourist places on Anglesey, the offering is surprisingly good, with a decent choice of small meals and hot or cold snacks, as well as home-made cakes and hot or cold drinks. The staff do an excellent job, consistently, at getting orders taken and served quickly, and the food quality has been excellent. Seems to be closed on Mondays and Wednesdays at present (October).

Visited on a whim , absolutely lovely latte made by a lovely lady , very tasty bacon bap , lots of hot crispy bacon . Cake to die for . Wish we had found it sooner as it was our last day , a credit to Holyhead

Nice little cafe, perfect for a coffee and cake after a walk round the country park. The scones were lovely and the profiterole cheesecake was amazing.

Great service , lovely cafe , friendly staff - full COVID standards in-place , the hot drinks are just what the doctor ordered. Abseiling charity moneys to “MIND”

The cafe is sited in an exquisitely beautiful coastal area. The food is simple but wholesome, mainly sandwiches, snacks and wonderful cakes. Friendly and welcoming service. Just right after an invigorating walk.

This was the perfect cafe to stumble upon after a long walk around the breakwater in Holyhead. Service was fast and friendly. Food was very reasonably priced and of good quality. Drinks were inexpensive. Will certainly be visiting here again in the future.

We called here last may bank holiday for lunch, I didn't go in but my husband did, we both had baked potatoes with chilli and salad, it was lovely very tasty would definitely go back, I think we paid about £5.10 for each of them plus drinks, there was a very good variety of food on the menu also helped with dietary needs.

Only went in for a couple of coffees but got tempted by the lovely looking homemade cakes. Reasonable prices and what appeared to be a good selection of light bites. The setting within the park is excellent as are the staff who were friendly and chatty answering questions about the place happily. It's a light and modern building inside with a great view out of the windows of the surrounding areas.

This is a lovely cafe, essential for visitors to the country park, with good food and menu. The principle is great - to help disdvantaged people into work, but they were too understaffed when we visited and the poor waitress was terribly stressed. We waited longer than ideal, we we didn't mind. Normally they will have 3 staff members so should be able to provide a good service.

We had stayed at the Travel lodge in Holyhead on a Saturday night and woke to no breakfast before our walk round Holyhead Mountain. After walking through the desolate high street we found this oasis. We where helped by a charming young lady who took our order for a full veggie breakfast which was served efficiently and was really tasty. The same waitress also was a great help directing us to the start of our walk and is a credit to the venue. We would love to visit again and will recommend others to have breakfast here

What a wonderful venture to provide work opportunities to the disabled and disadvantaged and we had a hearty tasty lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Such a lovely place, so appalled by the non existing staff! One other waitress would of made a huge difference to today’s experience. We stood in the queue for Half an hour to purchase two coffee’s, but left without any purchase as it was ridiculous! C’mon Anglesey county council pull your finger out - your missing out! Hey ho the wildlife cafe (next door) came to our rescue thank you for the attentive service.

This is a local to us... had a few lunch’s here and never had a fault.. food has always been lovely and the staff do A good job... will be back again

Myself and my family attend here about twice a month. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cafe and toilets are always clean. Nice play area out the back of the cafe which is enclosed. I always find the food value for money, we had a kids meal and drink, panini with salad, chips and cheese and a drink for £12 today. Food is lovely and fresh. Highly recommended

Maybe it was just my time of visit but given it was a bank holiday weekend I would have expected it to be busier and for there to have been more choice

Popped in for lunch. Girls working there really lovely and helpful. Dogs not normally allowed inside but cold and starting to rain so asked could we come in. No problem. Bacon butty great and nice coffee. Thank you girls

After a lovely walk we decided to have a snack. We had a very friendly welcome from Dorothy Griffiths and throughly enjoyed the food. We would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone and will be going back for sure.

We had walked here over South Stack and were very ready for a light lunch, not too much as we have to walk back. We both selected jacket potato, mine with Chilli and my wife’s with Coronation Chicken. Not much of a feast but both were very tasty indeed, service was most acceptable. A great improvement on a similar lunch taken at the NT Plas newdd cafe a few days ago, better priced too well done.

We enjoyed toasted sandwiches, but a variety of food available. Staff very friiendly and helpful. Play ground for kiddies and in beautiful surroundings, in a walkers paradise. Cafe clean and with an outside eating area, next to the play park.

Setting off from the (also excellent) RSPB cafe at South Stack, the cafe in The Breakwater Country Park near North Stack makes for a perfect refreshment break before going back 'over the top' of Holyhead Mountain.

Spotlessly clean and excellent full breakfast at a bargain £4.99 including a cup of tea. Nothing too much trouble. Lovely walk with duck pond and Country park nearby. Fabulous.

A lovely scenic spot to while away a lazy afternoon, the afternoon tea is just what you need to refresh after walking through the country park.

Después de caminar por el parque país paramos aquí para refrescarse. El café parece bastante normalito, pero la comida era deliciosa. Entre nosotros pedimos algunas ensaladas y algunos bocadillos. Ninguno de nosotros nos decepcionó. La comida estaba recién preparado y era de muy buena calidad a un precio muy razonable. El servicio era amable y atento. Sin duda volveremos.

En heerlijke plek voor een tussenstop tijdens onze wandeling rondom Holyhead mountain. Perfecte latte machiato! :D

Después de un paseo por el rompeolas del parque decidimos visitar este encantador café. Los perros son bienvenidos en las mesas de afuera y agua para ellos en cada mesa. El personal es muy acogedor y hablador. Mi marido y yo capuchinos y bollos con...

Nos fuimos a la cafetería con nuestra hija de 3 años y mi padre que tiene demencia para almorzar. El tiempo era espléndido, así que nos sentamos. El pequeño parque mantuvo nuestra hija muy entretenidos y también parece ser adecuado para los usuarios de movilidad...

I think Angela E below has mixed up the cafes? The Breakwater Cafe does excellent breakfasts at a very reasonable price. Toasties are delicious and come with a nice side salad. Coffee is served in crockery not polystyrene and the delicious lattes in a glass mug. Its lovely and airy and clean and the staff are helpful. I regularly visit because of all the above. Gets my vote!

We went here yesterday and quite awful. As it was 15.45 I was informed they could not serve us in cups as to late to wash them. Ordered a piece of cake which came in a polystyrene box to match the polystyrene cups. Awful customer service. Made to feel like an inconvenience. As we walked out the door they bolted it like they couldn't get rid of us quick enough.

A lovely addition to the beautiful break water park I'm Holyhead. The staff are friendly and helpful, many with special needs but that doesn't affect the quality of the service that you receive. Beautiful views and the new extension welcome addition to an already set out establishment. The menu is basic, but the food is good. Possibly needs updating or refreshing at some point. Great wheelchair access and toilet. Parking is a little further down into the break water park but there are pavements and it is level. Worth a visit if in the area.

Nice enough cafe and a small park for the kids to play in. The coffee is pretty good in here also. Ideal for a quick stop in at the end of a walk

Parked near marina and walked our two dogs along the path to the quarry. On a December morning with a cold wind, it was a real relief to see the cafe was open after the one mile buffeted stroll. As I arrived at 12.15 I asked if I was the first customer , and received a cheery 'yes' reply. A latte and flapjack refreshed me whilst the dogs enjoyed the fresh water bowl placed outside. A welcome oasis and delighted to find it open at that time. Have used the cafe before but this is the first review submitted. Will use it again as it is a veritable life saver at a time like this.

Friendly staff. Good Menu. Nice location and clean and tidy. Well worth a visit. Its a shame many people will not be aware that this place exists. Keep up the good work.

This cafe is a social enterprise which could work great here! Unfortunately the service was shocking with a waitress who had an appalling attitude. The drinks weren't nice, the cake was stale. Just a bit of a disaster. Great idea, but it's not working.

Had two takeaway panninis served by a very friendly and professional waitress. Really impressed. Quite a ambitious menu but all very well cooked and priced.

Just stopped in (prior to leaving for Trearrdur) for a coffee.There was a machine used for this but the end result was more like a cup of instant - the price wasn't!Can't comment on the rest of the menu as this did not encourage us to return the next day for a meal.

If you're visiting the Holyhead Breakwater park in the summer, this little café is a must. The café offers a range of hot and cold snacks, as well as some lovely gifts.

Popped in for a butty but could not take dogs in with us so opted for a takeaway.not bad but nothing special

Food is decent, but the people working and the whole atmosphere is unbeatable. If you're at the country park, definitely stop here to eat and chat with locals. You can rent bikes from here too.

After a morning walk around the park we visited the Cafe to try the Breakfast. Very nice. Staff were friendly. Went back the next day for afternoon Scones with jam and cream. Can highly recommend.

Pleasant little cafe in the heart of the park. Good for basic teas, coffee and light snacks. It is a social enterprise so they're doing their best and provide a good service.

We had a nice lunch here before heading off on a long walk. Very tasty meal, prices good, staff pleasant. Sat in the garden at the back for a cuppa on our return. Very peaceful and relaxing watching the birds on the cliffs surrounding the cafe.

We checked before we set out for a long walk that they would be open for food when we got back - we were told by a nice lady behind the counter that they shut at 4.00 but food would finish at 3.30 We actually got there for 3.05 and could have eaten anything. Another member of staff came out of the kitchen and said 'you can have coffee but we've stopped food. We're closing at 3.30'. We said but the door says you close at 4 and we checked. She abruptly said that's Easter opening times! Sorry but a) we checked before and b) it doesn't say Easter! Couldn't be bothered to argue and took our custom elsewhere.

We arrived mid afternoon and was ready for a nice cup of tea. Lovely and friendly staff who made us very welcome despite arriving 20 minutes before closing. The did close the doors but let us finish after closing time. The tea was lovely.

Nice cafe in a beautiful spot. Some lovely walks around the park and a nice cafe for refreshments at the end of your walk. Been here a couple of times it can seem a bit unorganized but when you are served your food it is always very nice. You can sit inside or outside and brollies are provided to the outside seating areas. Ample parking and brilliant walks to be had, keep an eye out for falcons on the cliffs

Great little cafe, we called mid morning and ordered coffee and cake before we realised we could have had a full breakfast. However, the cakes were very good. The breakfasts ordered by the next visitors looked superb but unfortunately we were no longer hungry! A shame! The staff were very friendly and chatted with me about the area of the island which I first visited over 40 years ago.

Lovely food in such a nice place, also good for kids as they can play in the back and there is plenty of room for them to run around, the staff are always very helpful.

This is a really lovely little cafe! It was well past lunch time and midweek when we called in but the place was still busy. We just had hot drinks but did briefly discuss the menu with a helpful member of staff. They are willing to adapt meals to special diets where possible - something to bear in mind for next time. And a next time there will certainly be.

Called for a light lunch today ,I had cheese on toast and pot of Tea. My wife had ham salad very tasty ,and a Lemonade. Both plates were full even the cheese and toast came with salad .Well served by pleasant staff. Total cost under £10. Very pleased and will recommend to others ,also put on my list for future calls .

I visited here with my family there was 7 of us 4 adults and 3 children. We ordered our food whilst the children played in the park, we had afternoon tea sandwiches and full meals all served with a smile , the children enjoyed their hot meals and there was so much of it, the afternoon tea was delicious , I would recommend stopping here as the Caffi was very clean and staff was very friendly...

this looks like a nice place and is very clean and apart from the one woman manning the coffee machine and the one girl clearing tables who took our order there is not one thing - not one redeeming factor about this place. We would never have had this experience if my 2 children werent hungry. They were due food so instead of driving back for half and hour to feed them we chose here as they had a play area. We ordered, they played but it started to rain and it already had been 20 minutes waiting for food so they came in - another 10 minutes and still no food, so my youngest (baby) starts to get frustrated and upset - a couple of ladies who had seated themselves near us just before the kids came in were unhappy about my child crying so instead of just moving they made a point of getting one of the ladies from the kitchen - we assume the owner/manager/senior staff member to come to their table which already was a miracle in itself as she clearly was doing very little work and preferred to gossip and stand around instead of working. Once the one lady sat herself down she then pointed to our table and shouted out to sort out the noise - this staff member then proceeded to get the ladies up and as she passed made eye contact with me and said very loudly "in here is quieter". By this point the rudeness was beyond - had it just been myself and my children i would have demanded my money back and left for the service and rudeness alone but my other child was waiting patiently for her food and we had pregnant lady with us - before I could even decide what to do next the same staff member came to me and told me that myself and my baby had to leave - with after thought I should have told her to refund my mother in law as its disgraceful to make a 2 year old wait by this point 40 minutes for a chicken sandwich in a cafe that wasnt even a quarter full and 4 staff members could easily have looked after at a much faster pace and this is coming from someone who was a waitress to a good few places that were much larger and I manned them on my own let alone with three others. I was sat in my car for a further 15 minutes before a family member came out with food for us - 55 minutes for 3 sandwiches, beans on toast, 1 toastie, 1 panini and a jacket potato - absolutely disgraceful. The family member then stayed with us as he refused to re enter the cafe due to the fact that after asking me to leave they were shocked and actually complained about having to put our food in takeaway boxes - they actually believed that paid in full food would be left even though they refused to serve us and asked us to leave - absolutely disgusting - and in the end the chicken sandwich went unconsumed as it didnt look nice - i didnt even throw it to the seagulls it was that questionable and the cheese in my panini was that horrible plastic looking processed cheese so for the price it was highly overpriced and not even panini but a flattened warmed up baguette - food over priced and a letdown, drinks lukewarm or cold by the time they were served, slow service, rude staff (apart from 2). I appreciate a crying baby is a nuisance in public areas but had they brought the kids food out first within 15 minutes like other places do then this entire affair would never have happened. If your a hiker/runner/rambler or someone who plain just loves the outdoors please avoid this place with a bargepole - dont support the rudeness - within spitting distance is a little shop that has a coffee machine, cold drinks snacks etc that is run by the National Wildlife Trust - support them at least in the knowledge that part of the money they earn goes to the Wildlife Trust

Situated within the Holyhead Breakwater Country Park the cafe is an ideal spot to enjoy light refreshments either in side or al fresco

Great service by friendly staff, service was good. Ham, Cheese and Pineapple toasties highly recommended and cakes delis....... . Great value for what we paid.

Set in the heart of Holyhead's beautiful BreakwaterCountry Park, this cafe serves great cakes and scones. Barabrith is excellent. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth seeking out.

If this had been anywhere else, I would've complained about the slow service. They warned us that it would be slow as they had a private function to cater for. It didn't look like they had the experience to run such a heavy load. However, a big however, all the staff were working flat out, were friendly and genuinely cared about it. For that I'll forgive anything.The food was simple, unfussy and well prepared. We had a range of options, baked potatoes, sandwiches, panini and salad. The cost was amazing with five meals and drinks coming to a very reasonable £21.00. I would definitely go back and would recommend that you go but make sure you've got the time to cope with the potentially slow service. Sit back and enjoy the lovely staff and the views.

The food here is pretty good, however the service is often rather slow, so be prepared for that when you go. The staff are always very friendly. The menu offers a nice variety, from sandwiches, through baked potatoes to lasagne.There is a new play area outside for children and the indoor seating areas are light and airy.If you're looking for somewhere that's reasonably priced, in lovely surroundings and don't mind sitting for a while, it's certainly not the worst place you could visit in Holyhead!

Called here for a snack and ended up ordering the breakfast. Staff were so friendly and helpful, and catered for our vegetarian diet. My wife had a baked spud, which was much more than she could eat. Food was first class and I thought it was brilliant value. People at the next table said they go there every week and I can see why. Great surroundings of course. Seating inside and out.

Trying to be objective i would say that the day we visited must have been a blip as we were told they were short staffed after we ordered. Food was ok when it finally arrived. 20 minutes to get anyone to take our order and 1 hour until the food came so almost 1 1/2 hours from ordering. This was for 2 panini and 2 sandwiches plus tea. Plenty walked out. Give it a try as the food is ok but ask how long the delay will be first!

Extensive menu, lots of choice, good prices.Just expected a quick cup of tea, but this was a great find.

We visited here again today after a lovely walk over the mountain to South stack. It's situated in a beautiful area, is spotlessly clean, good food which is very reasonably priced.The staff are very pleasant and helpful.

We hiked over the mountain last week and stopped for lunch in this establishment. They offer nice seating in- and outside. The food was well presented and very reasonable in price. We will return.

Love this little cafe/bistro me and my fiancee are there all the time.A+ for families as they can take kids in with plenty of space indoor and out an now even a little park in the grounds for the kids. Most certainly recommend. !

Visited here yesterday after a walk on rocky coast. Although dogs aren't allowed the manager very kindly allowed us to sit inside - which was great as it was a bit too chilly to sit out. We had the full cooked breakfast and it was excellent value, well cooked with fabulous local products and very tasty. The cafe is very clean and cosy, a very welcome respite after a long walk. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely visit again.

Called in today had tea and cake. Just what we needed after a long walk along the coast. Would use them again. Might try the brakefast next time. Looked very nice.

We regularly go to Café Parc. It is a lovely atmosphere, the staff are really great and helpful and it is the best cooked breakfast anywhere! They even cater for me - a veggie! best value for money anywhere as well.Sandra and Ted

The building which was a disused Warden’s house and transformed and designed by DEWIS architecture looks fab and blends in well to become a café at the heart of the Holyhead Breakwater Park. during my last visit in 2013 the work was still in progress but now fully open with Great choices of food at competitive prices and lovely staff with great views out onto the Breakwater Country Park. A big thumbs up all around.

Good choice of food, reasonable cost, staff very attentive. Warm and cosy atmosphere, especially on a cold day.
