Bwthyn Y Bwyd in Pembrokeshire

Wouldn’t recommend. Tea tasted of chemicals. Not very accommodating asked to move table as couldn’t see for sunshine and no blinds and they weren’t helpful. Breakfast nothing special for the money. I’ve certainly had better. Turning customers away when tables are empty. Slow service

Lovely brekkie and tasty coffee. Nyce one

What a lovely little place! The breakfast is the best I've had in years! The service and staff were fantastic and top quality ingredients were used throughout!

Good breakfast but the glass smelled like egg. Couldn’t drink a sip.

Popped in here 2 days in a row for Coffee, on the 2nd day we decided to pop in and see if we could sit after a long walk and grab some Welsh Cakes. We were lucky, and managed to relax with a brilliant coffee and some amazing Welsh Cakes, sadly they were devoured in one mouthful so we had to get some more! Seriously good. And the service, was absolutely fantastic, such a lovely and friendly team who were so patient with every customer. Made us feel very welcome and as well safe!! Great work to everyone involved here!! Highly recommended!

Now called Mill Street Cafe, we had the food as a take out. Good potions and tasty.

Lovely little cafe, excellent food, friendly service. Good attention to detail at a reasonable price. Really enjoyed our visit.

Top Notch Brilliant little cafe. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food was served quickly and was very nice.

A warm and genuine welcome from proprietor and chef Mary. We loved the cooked breakfast and the excellent home made bara brith and Welsh cakes. Very dog friendly too. A must!

Don’t waste your money! Ordered a Ploughman’s (£7.95). What I got was basically iceberg lettuce, a sliced tomato, grated cheese, sliced cheese and some pickle. Absolutely disgusted with what was served.

Popped over to St David's mid afternoon for a stroll, cup of tea and scone. Warm welcome from a very nice owner. Everything was just right. Fresh scones were delicious with the right amount of accompanying jam and cream. Will do lunch there soon.

By chance we happened to park outside and thought we would give it a go. The food was of a good standard although a little sparse on fillings. Couldnt really complain but we thought it was just average. Next visit we will probably try elsewhere.

Up until now every place we’d visited in Pembrokeshire has been warm, friendly and welcoming. Sadly the atmosphere in this place is none of that. Felt positively uncomfortable. Ordered a hot chocolate and a tuna sandwich. Received half a cup of chocolate coloured liquid. Worst hot chocolate I’ve ever had. (Certainly not £2.50 worth) The sandwich was made from cheap dry wholemeal bread. With the bare minimum of filling. It did have a sliver of tomato and a slice of lettuce to decorate. There must be many more hospitable cafes in St.Davids. This place certainly isn’t recommended and we won’t be back.

Stopped here for a quick sandwich in advance of a boat trip. Very quick service but otherwise unimpressive: sarnies were just sliced bread from a packet and the hot chocolate one of us ordered came in a mug which was barely 2/3 full - pretty cheapskate in a busy place where there is so much competition. If returning to St Davids, we will look elsewhere.....

Don’t worry, because we won’t be going back or recommending.

Visited this place for lunch. Friendly service for a light lunch was most welcome. Scones were fantastic.

Visited today 04.06.19 place as quiet, so easy to grab a table, food was nice, staff were pleasant. Bit concerned as I was leaving I noticed the premises only has a 1 star hygiene rating, which is worrying, possibly wouldn't have visited if I had seen that prior. They don't take card either, only cash which was annoying. It's 2019, you have mobiles use them as a payment receiver method.

We enjoyed our lunch here today. The pot of tea was huge. Photo enclosed and lovely fresh food and enjoyed our jacket potato and panini. Cash only. Lloyd's bank round corner phew

We really enjoyed our visit - the food was very good and we had a variety of dishes as there were five of us. We enjoyed chatting to Mary just as much as we enjoyed the food. Try and you will not be disappointed: pass it by and you will miss out!!

The cawl was delicious, came with a small amount of bread and some cheese which was the ready grated sort, but once melted in the soup it was lovely. My husband had a toastie which was ok. My Diet Coke was warm and my husbands glass of water never arrived. No sign to say that they are cash only, good job we had some with us!

We are locals and just popped in for a light lunch. Soup of the day was delicious but their coffee (Instant) was probably the worst I've had in years, couldn't drink it.

Popped in for breakfast and was left waiting while the two women in the kitchen area chatted, yes they knew we were waiting but where more interested with gossip. Breakfast finally arrived and was, well, Small. We were then suprised to hear a local woman being served at a different price, to which i queired. The response was rude and abrupt ! She knew we had spotted it and wanted to get rid of us. I have given one star "Terrible" rating because the options dont go any lower. We won`t be visiting again but i guess that does`nt matter because thousands more will.

The tuna and sweetcorn mayo sandwich with salad and the vegetable soup were lovely. Reasonably priced. Quick and friendly service.

This place did feel a bit lacking compared to the more contemporary places in the city and certainly not high end in any sense. Food lack lustre and served on dated tableware that reflected the 'charity shop' decor.

Brilliant smiley service as soon as we walked in, food and drinks arrived quickly too. We had paninis and chips, the chips were excellent. Great atmosphere

Enjoyed the friendly service of this lovely little restaurant and especially the toasted sandwiches. Staff were happy to accommodate our dog (important for many visitors). Also this is just off the busy and obvious areas where people accumulate

A friend and I popped in for lunch ,it was very busy so we were lucky to get a table. Recommend the mozzarella,pesto and red onion toastie and the hot chocolate was divine.

Stopped here for coffee with friends on a trip to Saint David's. The lady muttered something about a minimum order at lunchtime after taking our order for drinks, and made us all feel very unwelcome We quickly drank our coffee and left, regretting making the choice to inconvenience the place with our custom.

Despite there being empty tables during our visit, we were made to feel very unwelcome for ordering hot beverages with no food. The waitress was very frosty and left our table muttering under her breath. Highly unprofessional.

We popped in for a snack and had the most amazing pesto mozzarella and red onion panini and I had home made banana bread. The owner was extremely welcoming and pleasant. Well worth a visit just off the main street in St David's

Stopped here for lunch last week in April 2018. One other customer who was a friend of the owner. Very friendly ladies, one of which went on to advise us of the circular bus route around St Davids to save taking the camper van down the little lanes.

Stopped for lunch. Very friendly. Had the award winning Cawl and it was fantastic. Also tried the Leek and Potato soup also very good. Recommended for a lunch stop.

Not terrible but not the best in the town, pleasant staff but not very sharp with noticing customers needs. Food very average.

We were enticed by the scones with jam and cream, so we ordered those with a latte for me and an Americano for my husband which was a bit weird because there wasn't much coffee in his cup and it was served with a pot of hot water. Never had an Americano like that before! The scones had been heated up, but didn't taste at all fresh. They were heavy and dense and it really doesn't help to heat up past-their-best scones. If I hadn't had the jam and cream to go with them I wouldn't have been able to eat mine as it would have been too dry.

Sat in the garden, in the sunshine, and enjoyed a lovely freshly prepared lunch of sandwiches, homemade scones and a very welcome cup of tea. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Llamamos para el desayuno de esta mañana, una familia de 5. Pedimos 4 grandes desayunos (1) 1 sin granos pequeños, 2 cafés y 3 pequeñas,. Nos preguntaron si queríamos, así que nos dijo fichas no.

Un lugar encantador para un rápido tentempié por la mañana o almuerzo. El té y bollos eran deliciosos y tenía que ser tenía la forma tradicional: crema y mermelada! Nuestra anfitriona fue acogedor y lleno de chat, el lugar estaba impecable y bien llevado.

Estoy seguro de que el resto de la comida era deliciosa, pero fuimos para el bollo con mermelada y nata. Por desgracia, los bollos no eran frescos y sabor rancio y seco. Sin duda, uno o más días y el ligero calentamiento no refrescar como...

Nos gustó mucho el aspecto de este pequeño lugar tradicional de aspecto y preguntó si sería posible tener un tradicional galés rarebit igualmente aunque no se ofrece en el menú. Por desgracia, este pedido no pudo ser acomodado, pero la comida que pedimos era muy...

En una rara visita a la calle Davids mi compañero estaba fascinado por el anuncio hecho en casa para bollos y crema de leche. La señora irlandesa estaba ocupado con adornos de su 'Paddy's Day', pero ella era amable y acogedor. La comida era adorable,...

Caseros deliciosos scones, directamente desde el horno servidos con mermelada y crema de leche. Bien merece una visita.

Fuimos para almuerzo familiar. El lugar está limpio y buen menú y precio decente. El inconveniente fue la ensalada infiltrado las comidas y los bocadillos empapados en tenía que otros en mi familia no me gusta. Me gustó mi sopa de verduras.

My family and I visit Bwthyn Y Bwyd every time we visit St Davids and we have never been disappointed. It is a humble place offering comforting home-cooked food. They don't make any airs and graces and everything is of an exceptionally high quality. The Irish lady who runs the place clearly loves to bake and there is always a large range of delicious cakes and gateaux on offer as well as her famous Irish soda bread! (We also recommend the jacket potatoes, toasted sandwiches and cream teas!). She is absolutely lovely; attentive without being intrusive and friendly without being overbearing. Occasionally (who we think is her) husband will join her to help serve, and they are a great team.All in all this place is perfect if you are looking for something quick and unpretentious and we will, of course, be back.To address the review below: I think it is highly plausible that the "rancid" look of the bacon was not noticed/obvious and would have been addressed directly and appropriately by the owner if the issue had been raised at the time.

Visited this small cafe this morning. A nice welcome when we arrived soon after 10.00 a.m.. We were looking for breakfast that did not cost more than £10.00 as seen in previous cafe we visited just before, We were offered a bacon and egg sandwich at £4.45. We asked for it as toast and bacon and egg rather than a sandwich. It arrived fairly quickly but immediately I could see that the bacon on my plate was old and rancid. We had just travelled for 2 1/2 hours so didn't want to make a fuss.and I ate it anyway. The toast was two slices of cheap Hovis sliced bread. The bacon was clearly rancid so why was it served I ask? £4.50 for what! This was a clearly a rip off exploiting tourists for all they can get. We left a little unhappy to say the least. Really put me off visiting St Davids again.

Packed (and rather uninviting) tea shops around the main square in St Davids made me search elsewhere for tea. And I found this very charming and welcoming tea shop run by an equally warm and charming Irish lady. Toasted sandwich of mozzarella and pesto followed by scones, jam and cream, washed down with endless cups of tea. Spotless place, wonderful food, good prices, just off the main street. Why go anywhere else?

We had a lovely lunch here over the weekend. The food and service was exceptional! Catering for all ages......all adults and children were very happy! We will definitely be returning again

Went here with my husband at the weekend (and our dog who was welcome), had a lovely lunch, toasties and chips, really reasonably priced, and friendly owner who served us. Would come back again

We have been visiting this little gem of a place since August 2014. We cannot stay away for too long..even after a move from st. david's to Goodwick, we make sure we get here at least once a month. The lady is so sweet and super friendly to us, that we always feel at home and very at ease and comfy! The scones are the best around and even taste better than the ones I've had in Devon and Cornwall! The jacket potatoes are also super yummy and all the puddings are..we should know as we pig out every time! We cannot help ourselves! This is on our top list of gems! Very clean and also dog friendly! Would highly recommend eating here. Infact, as I'm typing this , I know we must return next week!

Lovely cafe with very friendly owner who couldn't be more helpful offered to customise menu to our taste. Will be in for Soda bread next week. Hope the ferry to Rosslare is not too windswept see you soon Slainte

I live local but like popping in here for tea, scone with Jam and cream, just the best! Also good value.

This modest café is tucked away down a quiet street, nearly opposite Moshulu (shoe shop). I had soup of the day (which was potato and leak that day) with soda bread. Think my kid had sausage and chips. Very peaceful with friendly staff. Nice WC. Very reasonable prices.

Arrived soaking wet following a long walk but were still warmly welcomed. Nothing was too much trouble. We just had a pot of tea for two and Barra Brith with butter. The cake we had was warm and absolutely delicious and had been made by the owner who was even willing to share the recipe! We visited this tea room last year and will do so again next year. Thorougly recommend.

We visited St Davids recently and stopped off here for a quick lunch. We had a lovely welcome from the owners and thoroughly enjoyed the food. On a return visit I tried one of the delicious scones made by the lady who owns the cafe and it was the nicest one I’ve ever had. Great menu and excellent service; I would definitely go here again.

This is a really welcoming tea room cafe. Well presented, clean and tidy. Now on to the food. You certainly won't go away hungry, with good helpings of fresh, home produced meals and if you visit after 10.30am the scones will have just come out of the oven, yummy? You're also welcome to take your dog but there's seating outside to the rear if you'd rather not take them in.Certainly worth a visit.

Lovely atmosphere, great food but you must try the scones with jam and clotted cream they are the best Diolch Jim a Mary x

It was our first full day in St. Davids and we had spent the morning sightseeing and shopping, we went in for coffee/hot chocolate and scones with clotted cream and jam as a treat. The scones were warm and soft and were one of the best I have ever had. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would happily go back.

Friendly place to have a meal or just a coffee Pleasant staff your always sure of a good welcome The homemade scones with jam and cream are delicious

Visited here recently and had breakfast, great food, lovely staff, busy little spot. would visit again

We visited Bwthyn Y Bwyd whilst walking around St. Davids last weekend and were very pleased. I had a panini and salad which was very tasty, my girlfriend had the homemade scone with clotted cream and thought it was gorgeous! Nice friendly staff. We would be regulars if we lived in St. Davids!

Came here on the 10th August, lovely food, friendly staff, great atmosphere and full of character! The scones are 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

We thought that we'd found a good bolt hole to have the occassional drink and cake whilst we went shopping during our holiday. The first 2 visits went off fine, no problems. Good food, attentive young waitresses. However on our third visit things weren't so good. We were served by the owner who got our order wrong and we had to get one of our paninis changed. What concerned us was that we both witnessed one of the staff drop some teaspoons on the floor, and instead of getting them cleaned she placed them in the receptacle to be used again. Sorry, that's wrong, and we didn't go back. I had to check with my wife that I'd seen this and she confirmed that I had. As there was a dog in the cafe at the time and the place is fairly busy, its just not acceptable.

We arrived and were seated and then when their conversation had finished we were welcomed.The scones were very good, however the tea wasn't and tasted as if it had been made with hot rather than boiling water.To be fair, this is probably a nice place to eat during the day, we just happened to get there at 4.30 and you could see that they were keeping an eye on the clock. The noise of clearing up and taking the rubbish out was a bit irritating.As I say, I would visit earlier than 4.30 and it will probaly be fine.

Came in for a cuppa and ended up having a fresh scone with jam and cream as well, due to the lovely smell of baking from the kitchen. All the cakes look tempting and the service was excellent - will definitely be back !

We popped in here for a quick lunch and were served quickly and efficiently. Our ploughman lunch was freshly prepared and there is also a very nice selection of home made cakes and tarts.The apple pie and custard made with apples from the owner's garden was delicious.

The sign outside said scones home baked and still warm from the oven - yummy! Certainly very tasty indeed - good consistency fruit scone, clotted cream and jam. Hits the spot! (being really picky she did chuck the scones in the microwave for 20 seconds to ensure that they were "warm from the oven")

A charming little café with a friendly welcome. I treated myself to a cream tea and it was delicious. Bwthyn y Bwyd is very clean and has the top score of 5 on the food hygiene rating.
