Front of house server did not once crack a smile. Answered a question with her back to us, walking away. Food was the kind of food you would dish up at home - no special little touch such as a pot of coleslaw with the salad garnish - just dry salad. Coffee was instant (reminded me of mellow bird) nothing wrong with that but nor was it anything special. Other girls were nice and smiley but front of house needs a few lessons in Customer service. Was only made to feel welcome by a local customer! Will not be returning.

Just visited. Server/front of house did not greet us or say hello. And waited for us to order without saying anything. Customers was nice and friendly and food was ok. The coffee was terrible tasted of heated milk from the microwave. Bad service from server/ front of house.

Food was very bad quality. Little to no variation. No flavour or diversity in foods. Staff didn’t come to greet you and stayed behind the hatch in the kitchen the whole time except to bring food out (even though it was quiet). When asked what the wait time would be the waitress just replied “don’t know”. Wouldn’t recommend.

Called on our way home from our holiday in Cardigan - friendly welcome by staff member. Opted for two large breakfasts - one with fried eggs the other scrambled eggs. Huge portion of food - fried bread, toast, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomato, fried potatoes. All very tasty and well cooked. 2 milky mugs of coffee - set us up for our 4 hour journey home. Definitely would return when next in the area and highly recommend

If you like half mashed potato with no seasoning like the rest of all the meals. Then come to emlyn cafe! Then be told that the microwaved Yorkshire puddings are fine because I've been here before. Save yourself money and your taste buds the hassle of the offensively bad food.

A little gem of a traditional breakfast cafe. Nothing fancy but ideal for a standard breakfast unless you are starving then go for the huge breakfast and you won't be able to move for a few hours. Service was very prompt, but lacked a smile and any enthusiasm but you can't have everything.

We sat in the rear of the cafe as we had dogs with us, the rear room is as large as some cafes so it wasn’t cramped, service didn’t take long and the food was fantastic. We had large breakfasts and drinks, couldn’t fault it. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area, prices are very reasonable

3 x Roast beef dinners + 1 pint of larger shandy & 2 glasses of water (tap) £39 This was unfortunately more like a school dinner and a bad one at that. Sliced processed beef, a hard (really hard) cube of stuffing, watery cabbage, tasteless carrots, boiled potatoes and ‘gravy-‘ It wouldn’t be so bad if it cost £7 each (max) and that would be pushing it but £12! I don’t know why they can’t produce a decent hone-cooked roast for this price. Felt so disappointed. Have previously had breakfast there which was fine but I wouldn’t recommend the carvery. Staff were nice

I would describe this as being similar to a transport cafe but in a village hall from the 70's!! Decor, fixtures & fittings were very dated but didn't seem to matter as very popular with locals when we visited for Sat' morning breakfast. It was very busy but the service was good and the food was all ok. NB: Food rating is only 1.

Great Cafe for traditional British/Welsh food, served in a simple style without frills, and at a very good price. Staff are helpful and friendly. Nice view over Cardigan bay in the distance, (but with a main road in front of the Cafe). The Cafe specialises in home delivery to local peeps who are looking for an alternative to local authority 'meals on wheels'.

Passed this place quite a few times but finally called in today. Wish i hadn't. Ordered the big breakfast with a cup of tea. The breakfast consisted of bacon which was the best part of the breakfast and well cooked, sausage which were cheap rubbish but cooked ok, fried eggs which Gordon Ramsey would have a seizure if he saw them. The eggs were overcooked and rubbery and hard. The fried potatos were ok, the grilled tomato mushy and soggy , the beans were ok, the toast was unfortunately not toasted so was soft and covered in the cheapest mank margerine spread, the mushrooms were nice, the fried bread greasy and soft. The cost was 8 quid plus 1 pound 20 extra for a cup of tea. Ive eaten far better for 2 quid less locally. Overall it was very poor quality food, poorly cooked in a tired and greasy environment that was straight out of the eighties. The food also took quite a longtime to arrive. Definitely won't be back here.

Unfortunately we didn’t find this gem of a cafe until the day before we were due to go home. Situated on the main Aberystwyth to Cardigan road with ample parking and a varied menu, you could easily miss this if you are driving too fast. Lots of brunch options, and a general feeling that the staff would do their best to accommodate any requirement. We will happily go back if we are ever in the area again.

So glad I booked Sunday lunch here for 15th May, it was probably, based on quality, portion size, value, and helpful staff, the best I have ever had. I keep laughing at the previous two reviews about it on here, did they really eat here? On arrival, shown to our table, was feeling good vibes as was busy with locals, always a good sign. What we particularly liked was its a sort of carvery, but your table number is shouted out, and off you walk to the counter where you are faced with a lovely lady asking if you want Lamb, beef, turkey, pork, or mix and match, you can even have all 4 meats. And as important, you have the counter to yourself, no tripping over each other at this gem. Mate and I decided on Lamb and Beef, no scrimping here on portion sizes! She then plates up for you with what you want, from superb Roasties, creamy mash, to lots of different veg, parsnips especially were stunning, then asks if you want gravy on. We certainly did want it on, then she said she would also bring more gravy to our table as soon as we were sitting down. Gravy was that good, I nearly drank it from the boat. My mate said I could never finish it off, I cleared the plate. Trouble with that was, I had no room for dessert, especially after seeing the size of those being brought out to various tables. Superb is what springs to mind, you cannot be disappointed with it, and I think I have left a lot more reviews on tripadvisor than some others on here! They open around 9pm in week until 3pm, I did have a big breakfast midweek, and could not fault it, even the eggs are cooked to how you would want them. It is suitable for families too, kids meals are reasonable price. The milkshakes etc look so good, and again, good value, great size. But the £11 Sunday lunch, as well as the fantastic smiling staff, are the real stars of this popular, yet spacious cafe, its a meal I will never forget. Thanks Emlyn Cafe, I will be back one day when next in the area, if you want, you can open an Emlyn Two in my home town Chorley, you would do a roaring trade serving food as good and generous as that.

Worst Sunday roast dinner I have ever had, especially on mother day, cabbage, carrots, and mashed sweed was very sloppy and soggy, had two small roast potatoes (cold), stuffing was small and stodgy, thin cuts of beef no flavour and gravey was like water. Well overpriced at £11 a plate and child's £7 for poor quality food. Avoid Sunday roast.

Table booked for family meal on mothering Sunday. Roast dinner option only available, no other options for child menu. Soggy watery vegetables carrots, swede and cabbage. Two small cold roast potatoes, 1 small parsnip, gravy like water. Meat cut very thin,lamb option available at a supplement of £1.00. Only good thing about this meal was the mash potato. And all this for the bargain price of £11.00 per adult, child was charged at £7.00. Absolutely extortionate prace for the quality of the dinner! WORST SUNDAY ROAST THAT I HAVE EVER HAD!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!

Not the staffs fault coz they are great but this is last time for me here!. £5.90 for 8 pieces of scampi no bigger than a Malteser and a large chips which would only serve 1 person. Had a sit down meal last week for cheaper. Increasing the chippy prices to pub prices and reducing to children's portions is completely out of order!

Very underrated pub in Aberystwyth. It's always my starting point in every Aber night out. I was a frequent patron during my time in uni and after; from 2018 till 2023. Scholars Bar a fantastic venue to meet up with friends and have drinks with. The tables are ample and spacious, enough to accommodate large social groups. I'm sadden to hear it's temporary closed even under a new management. Hopefully, it gets the love it deserves in the near future if it ever reopens.
