Cliff Top Cafe in The Vale of Glamorgan

You would think the minimum requirement for running a cafe was the ability to speak to people politely. The couple were extremely rude. They completely ignored us waiting at their serving window. The woman spent 5 mins studiously stirring what looked like 2 cups of instant coffee. It's a shame as their attitude put a real downer on a beautiful place. This is repeated again and again in these reviews, and it's true. These people obviously need to retire, get a job they like, or get some serious customer service training. I would avoid if you want to enjoy your walk. Park somewhere else, walk there, and take a flask. For info..car park is £5.

Rolls were fresh and satisfying quick service to

Absolute gem of location, welcome to Nash point at sout wales 30 mins from Porthcawl. Please do visit Ogmore by sea as well.

I can concur that the guy serving needs either a personality transplant or a job where he doesn’t need to interact with the public but if you go pre-warned it’s actually pretty funny. The bacon butty and coffee were really good. Cost £5 to park 🤨

If you do decide to visit the nearby lighthouse, you'll have to pay 5 quid to park by the café. Friendly and helpful staff, great views and walking trails nearby.

It's only a small cafe on the clifftop by the lighthouse, but their service and helpful staff makes you feel welcome

Lovely friendly staff, a good set of choices of food to snack on, had a lovely burger that filled a gap for me to continue with my coastal hike, nice seating area, toilet facilities were great too, and nice and clean. The seaside decor was great to, really made you feel that yes you are at the seaside again.. Besides that, a fantastic place overlooking the ocean in the field where you can pitch your campervan etc..

The cafe is positioned on an outstandingly beautiful cliff top campsite/parking area. Fantastic walks on the coastal path. Perfect views and wonderful walks. Some tricky and narrow at times but well worth the effort. We visited this picturesque place twice this week and loved it. Paid £5 to park and spent £15 each visit in the small, very basic but well stocked cafe. We travelled from Ogmore Vale again for the third visit today expecting to park up, enjoy the walks and the beach. So, very disappointed to be turned away by an unbelievably rude lady who was running the cafe. She had been there on our previous visits but we had been shown onto the site by a very pleasant man and younger man. We arrived to be told "not today" !!!! And she then explained the site was giving priority to camper vans. We questioned this after she said cars and small vans were only allowed on weekends. Perhaps Fridays at Nash Point isn't a weekday but the price list and opening times sign didn't reflect this. Unsure if she felt £5 plus what we'd have spent in the cafe was not enough to provide entry. We appreciate campers would pay more but her attitude and abrupt manners was unnecessary. Astonishingly bad customer service and a poor advocate for Welsh hospitality. Such a shame and such a disappointment.

This is our second stay here this month. We have 2 dogs with us but are respectful that they need to be kept on a lead. We had breakfast at the cafe which we enjoyed. Staff have been freindly. We really like the site nice and relaxing with beautiful views and walks. Will return again in August.

Nash Point is a beautiful area for a walk. But extreme caution needed around the cafe and parking area to avoid the displeasure of bumping into one of the world’s most miserable men. Clearly has some childhood issues and needs to change from a customer service role to working in a dark room.. it’s more suited to his personality. Basil Fawlty has previously been mentioned in a review - apt but he’s not half as funny.

We didn't eat here we just stopped for drinks and ice cream, after finding out we couldn't get to the lighthouse, the staff where friendly and service was quick, coffee was decent as well,

Parked here to take the dog for a walk and possibly for lunch/coffee after. The place was surrounded by hostile signs everywhere. Where to go/who could use the loos and numerous ‘keep your dog on a lead’ signs. Like most dog owners we’re responsible and wouldn’t dream of having dog off lead anywhere near sheep/cattle. One sign even warned of potentially shooting your dog for worrying sheep. Ironic when sheep and lambs were ‘fenced’ off by a single strand of barbed wire at my hip height. If they are so worried about their sheep maybe fence them properly so they don’t get hit by vehicles? Needless to say didn’t stop for food/coffee….

Visited today, my wife has some health issues regarding diet, which means she has to only have certain ingredients, the lady who served her was impatient with her, and left her with the comment “ I won’t serve you here again as you have delayed me” I hope this lady if she ever gets an illness meets with more consideration than she gives Hopefully she is able to sleep at night, even with her appalling attitude to her fellow humans

Lovely cafe staff very jolly and nice food

Not the best of weather but a perfect adventure

Great place .beautiful views of surrounding coastline

Didn’t eat or drink. Very friendly attendant/ owner. Clean toilets open to the public.

Rude grumpy customer service. Was a quiet day just after the summer break and every little ask of the gentlemen serving was too much it seems. Food was basic but tasty. Ideal for convenience after a long walk to the lighthouse.

Lovely views ample parking if you are a national Trust member parking is free

Couldn't eat or drink there as no vegan options at all. Beautiful views though and staff were friendly.

Great place for a coffee fantastic views of the beach ⛱ friendly atmosphere. Car park is small but there is a good place to park up on the main road. Not to far to walk.

Great place and you can stop the night.

Great little Cafe with beautiful views. Hot and cold drinks, food and snacks available. You can pay there for the parking and there is a sitting area outside which is absolutely stunning. Great place.

Fabulous little cafe overlooking the sea , £3 to park Only about 25 spaces along by the cafe , not a car park but just gravel road. The cafe served food , all fresh cooked , very nice. Tea .coffee all reasonably priced. A range of hot food served. Ice creams for the kids The lady at the cafe wasn't really friendly maybe she was having a bad day 🤣 but the man was pleasant and spoke pleasantly. You can sit in the cafe a few tables or outdoors about 5 tables over looking the cliffs. Had a walk to the light house and along the cliff. The coastal path walk looks like it has collapsed , but apart from the flies it was a nice little walk along and back to the cafe 10 min walk in total x No signal at all on the cliff top or by the cafe. Toilets are clean and very nice , its park of the cafe so well looked after. Will definitely return to the cliff cafe a pleasant day out x

Car park person needs to be a bit happier Obviously not a people's person Can't comment on cafe as it wasn't open

A very simple coffee shop, although there is nothing to like to eat, but it is very pleasant to sit outside and drink a cup of tea.

Friendly owners💞 couldn't do enough for us

Awesome bacon rolls, great views and a great place to chill. Thank you.

Nice little cafe near Nash Point Lighthouse. Nice outdoor seating and lovely clean toilets

I really like coming here, preferably in the middle of the week. nice owners, good coffee and great views of the bay

Well what a lovely place to visit. Amazing views and nice food cooked to order. We had burgers and hot dogs plus cold drinks. Car park was £3 all day. Nice walk to the beach, fossils in situ which you cannot remove. Lovy to look at though.

The view is exquisite 👌.... Cafe was closed when we reached but definitely worth the view. 3£ for parking inside.

Didn't eat just had a tea but the owners are very nice.

Amazing 🎂🥮 cakes! Friendly personnel, aware of the place around, take payments for parking and camping 🏕

A lovely place and the views are amazing

Stick to your guns and come here. View is fantastic. Cliff top view is amazing. Cafe is ideal for the hot brew and refreshment.

Turned up but it was closed. Some great views, bit of a cheek though with respect to the cafe car park. Charging £3...

Lovely views of the bay from the café, £3 parking

Owner not very friendly. Found him abrupt However location stunning

Very grumpy person at the counter but he cheered up a little when I thanked him for the great cup of tea. Sometimes people just need some kind words as they probably don’t get many. Just cakes and snacks when I visited and a bigger cooked breakfast would have been nice but you take what you can get when walking and wild camping in the WCP.

They Guy who runs this place is so arrogant and doesn’t know how to speak to people. Over rated and expensive. Prices doubled since last year.

Most people that run a customer facing business realise that you should probably be at least courteous to your customers. It’s almost as if the staff here resent the fact that you’re there. We arrived to park and had intended to go for a walk and get some food from the cafe afterwards but the attitude of the staff meant we went elsewhere for food. Views are good though.

Visited here on 2 occasions and the staff are miserable. No food on offer and 12pm during the summer holidays, and don't you dare try and enter the shop 😉

Lady in the shop is super friendly, great views. Perfect place for a short stopover or a longer stay.

Can't comment on the Cafe's fayre as it was closed for re-painting the externals. The car park has a £3 charge which is fair. Pay the Cafe owner, who I must say was a nice chap and we had a good natter about days gone by. There are picnic tables here and as we took a flask availed ourselves of them for our drink. The view here is stunning. There is a way down to the sea here but as the missus didn't wear proper footwear didn't risk it.

What a little gem of a place, amazing views, great food, great drinks, great people, such a pleasant visit every time, would highly recommend this place to all. I am and always will be a regular thanks to Ant and Sharon.

This could be an amazing place, the location is perfect BUT the people who run the cafe are consistently miserable and rude. I've bought tea and cakes her here on numerous occasions and they never fail to be irritable. What a bloomin' shame! It used to be run by lovely elderly folk who eventually sold it to this 'Herbert'. If you do go don't park here, save yourself £3, park back up near the pub for free then it's a very nice 10-minute stroll down the lane to the cafe and stunning beach beyond.

Fab spot, stayed for 2 nights in our motorhome overlooking stunning views. Sharon was really helpful and kind as she charged my laptop. We'll be back!

Didn’t have the opportunity to sample the food and drink as we were actually shooooood away and told to get and and go like stray dogs for walking towards the open door as it was closing time. It was incredibly rude, a simple sign or a I’m sorry we’re closed would have done, it takes no effort to be polite. I will not return, what a shame.

Lovely hot chocolate and great Welsh cakes. Perfect place to stop and admire the view.

Best Welsh cakes I've ever eaten, apparently made locally in the village. Bacon rolls also a great snack, made up for the disappointment that they had sold out of cheeseburgers at the weekend. Apparently 'Milky Coffee' is a bit like a latte, but not quite, more like a hot milky drink your Grandmother would make, with a bit of coffee in. Great views and nice walks along the cliffs.

Great hot chocolate on our return from my dog walk

Loverly views, nice cafe on the cliff but a bit haphazard with their opening. You now must pay £3.00 for parking!

What a great little cafe, I have lived in this area for years and forgot about it. Went for a family walk last night and there it was. I remembered that it used to be run down, wow not now. Beautiful little cafe and the owner is great. Highly recommended sitting there with a cold drink watching the amazing views.

This is a lovely place to stop when walking the beautiful coastal path or if visiting by car. Lovely homemade welshcakes as well as other cakes available. Good choice of teas and coffee - mint tea was asked for and given! Friendly staff and paintings of local scenes on the wall for sale. Will definitely visit again.

Came today with friends not realising there was a cafe but had 3 burgers and a bacon roll and 4 drinks for less than £15. The food was cooked to order, the two owners are friendly and it was a pleasant experience, this is a hidden gem I shall definitely eat returning

A happy little shack perfect for a quick hot or cold drink and some snacks. Friendly staff who are lovely to chat to and can tell you all about the area and history of the hut. Would have been 5 out of 5 but I really fancied a cone of chips and they don't do them as no fryers, but that's just me being fussy!

Absolutely AWFUL service! The 2 people working were extremely rude by telling us to not come in with muddy boots, and then they complained that we wanted our overpriced tea to go when they didn’t ask in the first place. AVOID THESE ANGRY HUMANS!!!!!

After a walk along the cliffs in somewhat fresh weather (freezing & VERY windy) stopped off here hoping for something warming. Wow! fantastic hot chocolate & toasted fruit loaf with lashings of butter. The owners are very friendly & chatty, but not "in your face" I have been visiting Nash Point all my life & the cafe at the moment is such a bonus. They have made lots of improvements & want to do more We wish them all the luck in the world with future plans. Please support them in their endeavours.

What a find. The owner Anthony was lovely, so helpful and informative about the area. Wonderful Lemon cake and the coffee and walnut cake was yummy too. A wonderful location to escape life. Great views and walks. Oh and did I mention the mug of coffee. Simply the best. Much appreciated Antony Thank You. Keep up the great work.

We camped here this weekend for a friends 40th. Anthony, the cafe manager, was very helpful and made us very welcome. The cafe is recently refurbished in lovely condition and we enjoyed the homemade welshcakes and flapjacks we had with our tea and coffee. V good value too. Toilets were also nice and clean. We camped down near the ebach, it was very windy, but less so than the field at the top of the cliff. This place is a gem, we will definitely be back!

Como un punto a lo largo del Vale of Glamorgan" Vale senderos", este es el lugar perfecto para empezar o terminar un tranquilo paseo, unchallenging. Elegimos caminar primero y luego tienen la recompensa de un fabuloso café con vistas ininterrumpidas de la canal. Hay paseos sugirió que están claramente muestra a tablas de aviso pero permanente (propina) también puedes coger el servicio gratuito de guías que pasear con usted, así que no te pierdas nada de interés a lo largo del camino. Usted está perfectamente situado para aparcar aquí (por una pequeña tarifa) y huelga en cualquier dirección, con una sed o volver el apetito que puede ser satisfecho por tan sorprendentemente bien una pequeña cafetería y remoto. Altamente recomendado.

Nos quedamos muy contentos de ver esta pequeña joya de una cafetería durante uno de los paseos por el sendero Vale Patrimonio Costa. El café está muy limpio y bien equipado. Disfrutamos de tortas tradicionales y artesanales de chocolate caliente de Gales (deliciosa) mientras disfruta de las vistas panorámicas. Las instalaciones de aseo ofrecieron también son útiles a lo largo de la ruta. Una cálida bienvenida, gracias.

Stopped here on day trip to Nash point walking area. Had a lovely tea and Welsh cake whilst taking in the view of the North Devon coast. Very informative leaflets. Would return/ reccomend.

My partner and I decided to try out one of the Vale of Glamorgan's 'Vale Trails' and ended up combining two of their short walks into one big one. We stumbled upon this lovely cafe, recently refurbished, after walking along the Coastal Path passed Nash Point lighthouse. The owners are very friendly and we ended up having a good chat, while our bacon butties were made. Great grub and there are some nice bits of local art you can buy. There's a fab information point too.

Stopped here everyday we were in the area. Beautiful setting and perfect place to hang out before setting off or finishing one of the beautiful walks. We had 2 mugs of tea, welsh cake, some caramel shortcake, bottle of water and some chewits for 3.60! Bargain and tasty to boot. Highly recommend!!

After a good walk, hot drinks and choice of foods with the fantastic Heritage Coast's amazing views was extremely welcome, as well as the friendly helpful people.
