La Fontana in Ceredigion

The right place if you're visiting Cardigan in Wales and fancying a delicious Italian gelato ice cream. Rich in flavor and the texture is incredibly smooth, melting perfectly in your mouth. The selection is impressive, featuring both classic flavors like pistachio, and unique creations such as Welsh cake (highly recommended). The menu is simple yet diverse, offering a range of gelato ice cream, smoothies, milk shakes, tea and coffee and pies and light pastries for a light breakfast. The cafe also has a small outdoor seating area, which is perfect for enjoying your breakfast on a sunny day.

Treated ourselves to some ice cream from this place, the customer service was amazing and there was a variety of food and ice cream to choose from. Ice cream we chose was delicious, we sat outside and enjoyed the view

Popped in with my husband for a coffee i had the apple pie . Was very tasty and coffee was great too . Girl that served me was very friendly . She is a credit to your shop

Lovely bacon sandwich and toastie, piping hot cup of tea, staff, well worth a visit. Lovely selection of cakes and ice creams too.

Great range of ice-creams which can be made into milkshakes Lovely cakes too Tables available to eat in

Lovely little find, loved the atmosphere & music, lovely choice of ice creams, pleasant staff

Now these guys know customer service, we all felt tended to and in a professional way too. Food was amazing especially the banana split and best cappuccino I’ve had in ages. Thanks a lot

Lovely Italian coffee shop and ice cream parlour. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our daughter (aged 7) who has coeliac disease was able to enjoy an ice cream this afternoon. Thank you, we really appreciated it. The ice creams were delicious.

Delicious, little quiet spot out of the town rush! Friendly staff came straight to serve and some very tasty icecream

Super friendly staff, great options for vegans, vegetarians and everyone else

Friendly staff great choice and most of the ice cream is gluten free plus options for gluten free cakes Michael is. Wet knowledgeable about the allergy option s

Well deserved 5⭐️‘S Exceptional coffee, beautiful selection of cakes, well displayed salad bar, filled jacket potatoes with various fillings, panini’s, toasted sandwiches, & many other delicious options. Extensive range of ice-cream flavours, with gluten free options also available. Staff are very welcoming, helpful polite, and friendly, which creates a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your food. In addition to the inside dining area, there is also the option to sit outside. Highly recommended.

Extremely friendly staff, always smells amazing with coffee and baked goods. They have plenty of choices if you can't tolerate dairy, including tasty ice cream flavours. Cakes are all insanely good, sandwiches and paninis are great, I had an amazing tirimasu one day and it was one of the best I've had. Love to visit now and then when I can and would recommend it highly.

Ordered pizza salad. Salad was past it's best ( brown lettuce) . Pizza was a thick slab of wet dough with the minutest layer of topping. When I complained, the staff found the situation amusing. Not cheap either at £7. Disappointing to say the least. First time I've ever complained.

The counter staff were so lovely and welcoming. Gave me honest answers to questions about their produce, and made my milkshakes exactly how I like them, which differs from their normal way, so couldn't do enough to accommodate me.

We popped in for tea and cake. Never disappoints always friendly staff.

Very lovely service and very clean environment. Sitting at La Fontana is an enjoyable experience. Well recommended

Staff are great! Food is fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend

Staff very friendly & knowledge able . Gluten Free options available . Excellent value for food and ice cream .

DELICIOUS. Sheiks, ice cream, delicious chocolate cake. Service very professional, nice and conscientious. Minus that there is no toilet. But really everything on a high level. Great atmosphere.

It a lovely the coffee is great and the food is great nice place

Excellent service. Passionate fast paced team. Really engaged with their role. Great coffee, cakes, gelato and sandwiches.

Lovely sandwiches/toasties, awesome cakes and happy, helpful staff.

Amazing coffee and food. Excellent and friendly service. Brought water for the dog and made me feel very welcome

Very nice paninis and toasties and cakes! Nice visit and brilliant staff

Wonderful place. Beautiful ice cream and fantastically friendly and accommodating staff. What a pleasure!

Lovely little cafe. The flavours and range were great but some flavours we had were slightly underwhelming and others slightly overwhelming. But I cannot fault the cleanliness, service, location or politeness of the staff. Would've been 5/5 if the flavours were balanced across all our ice creams

Inviting!! Exceptional service from staff, who were friendly and polite. One point that was noticeable, was how they sincerely acknowledged their regular customers, which made our experience even more enjoyable.

Excellent,freshly cooked and cold food and you can finish it off with lovely ice-cream.

Beautiful, freshly made baguettes. Had tuna/sweetcorn and cajun chicken, which were stunning. Cakes looked amazing too but didn't have time unfortunately.

Wife and me don't often get out together and had a lovely lunch here again. Always a great chat with the family that run this place and #PendreCafe next door, wonderful people. Wife can't stand butter cream and went for the Vegan Jaffa Cake working off principle that a vegan cake wouldn't contain buttercream! Anyway, we realise the cakes are often bought in ( could be mistaken!) but it was absolutely delicious and I am under strict instructions to bring a piece home whenever I am running errands in Cardigan!

Wide choice of snack options and fillings. Plenty of cold and hot drinks to choose from. My chai latte made with oat "milk" was gorgeous, hubby enjoyed his lemon and passion fruit iced tea, and our friend had compliments about his peach smoothie. Hubby loved his bacon buttered toastie, and my veggie tortilla wrap (tomatoes and cheese) was flavoursome. Hubby and his friend returned later in the day for ice-creams in preference to other ice cream vendors.

An Italian themed cafe in a soulless building which seems to have lots of choice but it’s all a little bit disappointing. No customer toilets so had to trek and find one while our order was prepared. The coffee was not quite warm enough and weak, plus had to pay extra for decaf. A little attention to detail would make this cafe so much better.

Lovely place and staff were excellent

My husband and I bought a bacon sandwich b and a coffee Sunday morning which cost £14! We weren’t given any sugar so went to look for sine as we weren’t told it was by counter and the bacon sandwich was in cheap white bread which was freezing cold, very doughy and was most definitely the worst bacon sandwich we’ve ever had (and we’ve had a good few!) no choice of brown or white bread or toasted! Just a total rip off for £14. Anyone wanting a bacon roll and a coffee cross the road go to Greggs!

Fantastic Ice-cream shop and cafe. Plenty of great flavours, cakes are impressive and very tasty. There's a good range of things to eat. Seating inside and out. The staff were great we enjoyed our visits there.

Amazing ice cream at a great price

Very nice to have a wonderful ice cream was delicious on a hot day

Very friendly staff. Delicious milkshakes and smoothies. Looking forward to coming back and trying more. Been 3 times already this week

I love this place. Ice creams that make your mouth water before eating any and thier ice cream milkshakes are absolutely awesome.

Excellent food with a warm welcome.

2x meals ordered (salad boxes, one w/quiche, one w/ham). Spent £12 to receive 2 completely different portions, on top of unprepared veg- I honestly thought I'd chipped a tooth to discover a lump of grit I had to spit out. Every piece of lettuce was covered, put me off my food completely. And I didn't even ask for Beetroot.. I went in to explain the issue and the young girl, (daughter-in law of said business)she was full of attitude and back chat. They do not know the meaning of customer service, I will not be going again! Oh and yes, I've done Silver Service too👋 but an apology does go a long way.

Came here a week ago, both Michael and Nia made us feel very welcome and didn’t rush us despite us getting there so close to closing time. Lovely people and the ice cream was perfect, would definitely revisit if I was to ever return to Cardigan, wish you all the best guys! 😊 (From the anniversary couple)

Lovely find as a visitor to Cardigan. Great ice cream and really strong coffee (flat white) just how I like it.

Very smart staff,brilliant welcome, lovely food. Will visit again

Good selection to choose from, medium sized ice cream eyes bigger then belly...

We absolutely loved it here today. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind to us. The food was delicious, would definitely recommend. We just walked passed one day and so glad we did. Lovely talking to the staff and what they did for us for extremely kind and so lovely. Can't wait to eat the chocolate cheesecake they gave us!

Great food, staff extremely friendly

Called for tea and cakes, tea was nice decided to have some cakes because they looked really good, however, the scones with jam and cream weren't buttered so were a little dry, the Victoria sponges looked really nice but were very heavy and dry, probably one the worst Victoria sponges I've eaten The atmosphere was nice with Italian music playing, the place was clean and the staff were friendly and cheerful!

Best coffee in Cardigan! Very friendly staff! Da iawn!

Fantastic choice of ice creams. Excellent service, staff very friendly and efficient. Nice seating area outside.

Great place for coffee food and ice-cream and meet friends and Nia Michael and all the Family I have known since 2006 beautiful family

Great coffee and tasty lunch. Swift, efficient, and friendly service. Can’t ask for much more!

Amazing service and outstanding food

Great service and excellent food .

Really good food, friendly staff, excellent service, and very good prices. We need one of these in Haverfordwest.

We enjoyed the amazing service here again. My kids loved the fudge and the unicorn ice cream. The espresso is beautiful, smooth and strong.

The only place we could find in Cardigan who would feed us after 4pm. The guy serving was very helpful, even bringing us more chairs to sit outside. Food and drink hit the spot too

Ooh my gosh amazing Ice cream and great service. The choice was brilliant and the panini was great too!!

Service was excellent, staff were friendly helpful,obliging and nothing was too much trouble. The food and drink delicious. Will definitely be going back

Great for breakfast, we sat outside and enjoyed bacon sandwiches and sausage sandwiches with tea and coffee. We were served quickly and the staff are very friendly, we didn't even mind when they accidentally put sauce on a sandwich that we didn't want it on because the waitress apologised and it was quickly rectified. We all make mistakes, it's the way the staff approached it that demonstrated their excellent customer service 👍🏻 Thank you for helping make the last morning of our trip a good one!

Was a lovely ice cream milk shake, service very good.

Lots of outdoor seating, none inside. Order inside and sit down outside for them to serve you. I had veg which which was hot and gorgeous

Ate here and next door at the pendre cafe a few times on our visit to Cardigan. Great people working here. Could not do enough for us. Very welcoming and a credit to Cardigan. Lush ice cream, tea cakes and sundaes.

Sitting here at La Fontana enjoying the best coffee we've had all holiday. Bought a hot chocolate for my little boy and it came beautifully presented in a glass cup with an full size cookie on the side. Possibly they took pity on us as we were sat outdoors on a windy showery day, but customer service here is excellent. Its our second visit (we came for lunch last year whilst in holiday ), and it's great to see the food, drinks and customer service are still as good as ever despite the Covid-19 precautions they have put in place. Definitely 5 stars!!

What a lovely little cafe we found - amazing ice creams and their carrot cake was one of the nicest I have ever eaten. Needless to say we had to go back a few more times during our stay in Cardigan! Friendly staff too!

This is my favorite place to go in Cardigan when we visit, I absolutely love getting an ice cream from here. The staff are so friendly, some of the friendliest people I have ever met. And there is a great variety of ice cream to choose from. Definitely go here if you're in Cardigan!

Beautiful ice cream, cakes and meals! Staff were really friendly and kind!

Very good food and very good service

Les glaces etaient bonnes. Le prix était plus que correct !

Visited with family and ordered coffee and cake. Prompt, friendly and efficient service in a light and airy premises. Reasonably priced and plenty of choice to choose from.

Good place to have cup of coffee or ice cream if you like. Staff is friendly and social. Recommended if you out and around.

Friendly, family run café. Lovely homemade cakes and light bites. Our go to place in Cardigan.

Just to say, what lovely ice cream

Best ice cream place in the county.

Visit here often and never dissapointed. Great food great atmosphere. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone

Friendly and fresh produce. Handmade. Reasonable prices. Recommend

Been using it since it opened nice staff run by Nia and Mike good food and good coffee.

Friendly staff but no Vegan options

This is the place to go after having fish and chips at the "Pendre Cafe", next door. Excellent coffee and a wide range of delicious ice-cream (or cakes, if you desire), served by friendly, well turned-out, helpfull staff. It's always a pleasure to eat at the "Pendre Cafe" but this was the first time we visited early enough to visit "La Fontana" before they closed. We're looking forward to the next time.

We had a lovely meal next door and so decided to have coffee and cakes in La Fontana. A wise decision as it was vey good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The owners could not have been more helpful. Great place to eat home made delights. Cakes and desserts to temp the devil

Great place to meet for coffee and snacking

Good range of ice cream and cones, my daughter always loves it!! And lovely coffee! Friendly, family run business!

Split a banana split between me, my wife and my toddler. Absolutely delicious, could choose what flavour ice cream we wanted and the price was excellent. The staff were really friendly and I'm definitely going again.

Not wanting a big meal found La Fontana was just what we needed. We enjoyed what we had and went back the next day. It is run by a very friendly family.

Nice little coffee stop on the corner. My partner was impressed by the way the woman made her latte with soya milk with proper froth on top and loved my little macchiato cup and the place was clean and tidy couldn't fault any of it so thank you :)

Possibly the best Ice cream and Coffee I have ever had. Superb friendly service. We will be coming back. If in Cardigan you must call in.

Lovely coffee shop. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Americano coffee is very nice as is the espresso. Would recommend this place if you want a quick coffee and snack. Even ice cream on a nice day.

Lle hyfryd gyda staff croesawgar a chymwynasgar (hyd yn oed wedi gwerthu rhan o'i stoc o cannoli i mi). Coffi da, pwdinau blasus a hufen iâ sidolis. Great place with welcoming and very helpful staff (even sold me some of their cannoli shells to make up at home). Good coffee, tasty desserts and sidolis ice cream.

Really good coffee and ice cream.... but my favourite thing is the lovely owners and the friendly family atmosphere.

We come here every time we visit Cardigan, the milkshakes are my hubbys fave and I love the cappuccino ice cream. Staff always attentive and welcoming :) great!

Excellent lovely atmosphere very nice owners and staff. Coffee and the food is excellent .And the fish chip shop next door to excellent

Very friendly staff. Been here everytime we go to West Wales. Love their ices & iced lattes & food too. Only a few tables, but worth a visit.

Nice staff, always helpful.. I go for the ice cream..

Called in for a 2pm lunch to find everything either gone or not available. Ended up having coffees and ice creams.

Used this restaurant for a quick meal before a live screening at Mwldan. The member of staff carried on a conversation with her friend and the food we ordered was poorly presented and badly cooked. The worst pizza I have ever eaten. This may have been an off day, but I would not be prepared to give a second chance.

A taste of Italy in cardigan with fantastic staff. Highly recommended.

What a delightful little place 😀 I thought it was an ice cream parlour, which is nice of course, but it is so much more 😀The room was full! I met some friends who were munching away on a lovely looking lasagne with a very nice salad side 😀 and there is lots os baguettes, soups, salads and a host of other menu options. And of course: very good coffee and lots of ice cream flavours for dessert 😀 gleamin' 😀

Very nice coffee and very friendly service
