Oriel Y Parc Cafe in Pembrokeshire

Exceptionally helpful staff who provided exemplary service after (our) mix-up with food. Delicious vegan, veggie breakfasts, along with tasty and delicious sausage and egg baps. Generous portions, cooked to order and very prompt service. Great lunch portions too. Also extremely hospitable to our neurodivergent child in terms of being able to access wi-fi and providing a calm, welcoming space. Great tunes too, Blur, Iggy Pop, Michael Kiwanuka and Paris Paloma! Top-tier eaterie.

Huge vegan breakfast. Smaller options also available like breakfast baps with vegan ingredients (build your own). Also saw vegan flapjack in the fridge and didn’t charge extra for oat milk! Very popular, worth booking in peak season. Good food.

We chose this place for breakfast whilst visiting the area. We had a full Welsh breakfast and a Full Veggie breakfast and we weren’t disappointed! Generous portions and beautifully cooked, we’d recommend this place to anyone who wanted a tasty good valued breakfast. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed and the service was friendly and efficient. We’d happily return and encourage others to do so too!

Jumbo fish fingers chips and salad - just perfect for a wet Monday lunchtime with coffee to finish off…, but to quote Jimi ‘still raining, still dreaming

I would love to review this cafe.... but sadly I can't because it closes so early. We arrived at 3.45pm - doesn't seem like an unreasonable time for an afternoon coffee and cake! - but they were already closed.

We were visiting the area and our friend suggested we meet here for breakfast. What a superb decision that was! My partner and our friend had a full Welsh breakfast (no laverbread, sadly) and I had the veggie version. All were seriously good! I would never have thought of coming to this place for breakfast - but you should! And you've currently got the lovely Jackie Morris exhibition next door to the café too!

Great Caffè just to go in and chill. Very good Ambience quiet little place to eat and drink. We had a rocky road and hot chocolate and the rocky road was fenominal it was crunchy, chocolaty and chewy soo so good but the hot chocolate was on another world it was so perfect with such a low price for what we got it's a no-brainer to go there.

Popped in for a late lunch. Delighted to see cawl on the specials menu. Huge bowl of lamb filled cawl, beautiful bread (baked in house?)and large chunk of cheddar, absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Great value for money.

Came for breakfast with my partner and our dog. Coffee was very nice. Ordered the small breakfast which was good - however sausage tasted a bit processed and was sad not to see sourdough bread for the toast. My partner ordered avocado on toast with poached eggs and chilli which was very nice. Also had a look around the visitor centre which was dog friendly too.

We went for a fantastic full Welsh breakfast and over 3 hours later and I’m still really full. A full plate of freshly cooked, quality ingredients that were truly delicious. As per anywhere, when they get busy you have a small wait but it’s all cooked fresh so it’s what you expect. We loved every mouthful and not been disappointed once by either the service or the quality of what’s on offer. Truly lovely, warm and welcoming staff, that go the extra mile

I regularly visit St Davids with my family and have been coming for many years. This cafe is situated within the tourist information centre and there is also a gift shop and an interesting gallery on site, well worth a visit in its own right. I suspect some seasonal visitors might not realise there is a cafe here as it is slightly further to walk from the town centre/cathedral than some other options, which would be a shame as this is probably the best place for brunch in St Davids. This cafe has its own parking or you can easily walk to it from the main town centre. Last week I came twice for brunch and again for coffee and cake with family members and friends, we were all very happy with our food each time we visited. Consistently well cooked and of high quality. The portion sizes are generous and the meat was good quality. There are vegetarian breakfast/brunch options available as well as options for children. There is outside seating if the weather is good and the cafe is dog friendly with plenty of toilets available in the cafe and outside and space for the kids to run round outside the cafe. I really enjoyed the avocado toast with poached eggs and also the lemon and blackcurrant cake. My partner enjoyed the full Welsh breakfast and kids enjoyed the pancakes. There is a selection of board games available. Can't wait for our next visit!

Nice breakfast choices. Staff very friendly and dog friendly too. Pleasant atmosphere in an interesting place

Went with friends for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. Between us we had the normal breakfast, 2 small breakfasts and a veggie breakfast….all very tasty. Served quickly and didn’t wait very long for the food. Not impressed with the toilets though could do with a deep clean!

Lovely breakfasts! Happy to recommend cooked breakfasts, the avocado/poached egg combo and the gorgeous pancake/bacon/maple syrup stack. This is a great little cafe with really pleasant staff, plenty of room and a great menu to choose from. Park just across the road, load up with breakfast and then wander into St David's. What could be nicer? The information centre is next door....also very pleasant folk.

Excellent place to visit for breakfast. Good selection to choose from. We always opt for the pilgrims granola and a small breakfast. Very filling. Sets you up for the day. Really friendly staff. Dogs welcome inside too. Perfect!

This is a wonderful place with lovely friendly staff, generous portions and a light airy space. Outside seating available, dog friendly, board games to use, excellent coffee and a delicious selection of cakes. If you are looking for good quality food served by the nicest people then look no further. We came for breakfast and then back for lunch a couple of days later. Both experiences didn’t disappoint.

Good breakfast. Nothing special but nothing wrong with it. Tables could be cleaner, as could the loos. But that’s down to leadership of the staff.

Had vegan breakfast - ordered the small which was plenty. Nice oat milk hot choc and a good haven from the rain !

Oh wow!! Being a fussy eater I was a little pensive on first glance at the menu, but the food I went for was simply sensational, and at a very reasonable price too. (Attached is the spinach & ricotta tortellini option I went for). There were great options for vegan /vegetarian / carnivore as well as a decent choice of both hot & cold drinks. The dining area was clean and well attended. A pleasurable lunch experience

Lovely, spacious building with tourist gift shop and info point. The staff were helpful and friendly and went the extra mile to paint a picture for us of some of the things that happen in the area. The Pilgrim Cafe is fantastic. Brilliant vegan options. I had a flatbread wrap followed by an amazing Bakewell tart and my friend had a trad Welsh dish called cawl which the chef had apparently won an award for! We both agreed that the dishes were wholesome and delicious, but also had a subtle extra layer of sophistication which took the food to another level. Highly recommend.

Ordered the cawl which was so tasty would definitely have it again. It was great that our dog could sit in too as we are sometimes limited to where we can go. Definitely recommend

We came upon this cafe whilst strolling around pretty St Davids. We were pleased we stumbled upon it because the food was so tasty. I am a coeliac and had the sweetcorn fritters with egg and avocado. I could have eaten it all over again. Please visit if you get the chance.

What a fib, a great place for quality food and service in a fab location. Easy access dog friendly, a must visit when you're in the smallest city.

Wonderful place to have coffee, snacks or a delicious meal. The chef really understands dietary requirements and is always happy to make adjustments to suit. Next to the tourist information office in St Davids, it’s ideal to pop in if your heading to the Cathedral or the Coast path. We had lattes with oat milk, vegan cheese and onion panini with lovely chips and a lovely homemade mince pie (with homemade mincemeat) Our little dog was made very welcome with his own plate of dog biscuits arriving with our order .The owners have made a valiant effort to stay open during these strange times, so please support them if you can

Just had a lovely coffee at Pilgrims Cafe who are doing a brilliant job coping with COVID restrictions.

Lovely lunch, sweetcorn fritters, salsa, halloumi and avo really delicious and v good value. My wife had a v tasty ham salad sarnie with ff. Great staff and adherence to Covid rules Thanks

My wife and I had lunch here while in St Davids for a long weekend.We chose onion, sweet potato and lentil soup from the specials board. It was so good, they kindly gave us the recipe.Coffee and cake was great too, just the job.Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back again.

Excellent breakfast. Everyone really enjoyed their order. Pancake stack was excellent!! Friendly and efficient staff.

Staff miserable and muttered about how busy. No effort to enforce mask wearing. Queueing haphazard. Food good but chaotic.

Popped in for some veggie breakfast,super nice food and great service in difficult times . Be nice wear a mask and wash your hands

Super lunch served up by the Pilgrims! Spontaneous visit turned into a filling feast, can’t recommend too highly.

We're only went in for cake, coffee and tea (which were all good) but the veggie options on the menu looked good and the staff were very friendly.

This is now called The Pilgrim Cafe. We called in for coffee and cake between Christmas and new year. Only soya milk available which I don’t like because it tastes burnt when heated. We had two flat whites and shared a piece of carrot cake. Ok, nothing special.

This is attached to the information centre in the city ..make sure you go on Wednesday evening for the Open Mike night ..live music from local artists and great food and drink too :)

There was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious a welcome respite from inclement weather would definitely go back

Poor pricey breakfast. Bacon just sweated and not cooked luke warm sausages and cold coffee.Not good for new management team.

First day of holiday and we just have to have our breakfast out. We had a warm welcome, with a lovely selection of breakfast choices. We opted for the big breakfast and that’s what it was, fresh, delicious and kept us going all day. Our puppy dog was also made welcome and given treats for the rest of the day. What a warm welcome to Pembrokeshire

We went to the cafe today and despite the breakfast menu finishing the lady surving asked the chef to still make us one which not many places will. The food was stunning and we all left very full and happy! Would definitely go again.

Ordered a standard breakfast...it was fit for a king. The food was very tasty and well presented and cooked to perfection. The cafe is light and bright and comfy and the staff warm and welcoming

We popped in here for a breakfast as suggested by friends who have been before.A massive shout out to the team, helpful, smiling & what a yummy breakfast & coffee. The choice is varied with lots of gd options too. We will be back soon. So full up, my hubby couldn’t finish his..

We went up here most days for coffee on our stay in St David's. The gallery is lovely and the tourist information excellent.

They have a great range of gluten free food and cake, both of which have always been delicious. Staff are always lovely too. Highly recommended

This place is right on the edge of St. Davids and well worth a visit? The cafe provides an excellent choice of food and drinks. The exhibition's are very interesting.

We had breakfast here for my sons 8th Birthday after packing up to travel home after camping. Excellent value, food and service. Staff friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed a BLT sandwich, my only critisism was that they obviously did not use butter in the sandwich, the flavour did rather stand out, which was a shame. Lovely thick cut bacon and a great salad.

No visit to st david’s Is complete without a visit to the Oriel for breakfast or lunch. The staff can’t do enough for you. The food is good and the surroundings lovely. We had breakfast, a vegan breakfast and children’s breakfast. There’s quite a wait at busy times but this proves the food is cooked fresh. The produce is local and good quality and cooked to perfection. Vegetarian, vegan, children and GF catered for. Can’t wait for our next visit.

We stopped here for lunch with our two young children. There was a nice choice on the menu and all of the food we ordered was delicious. It was busy and we arrived just as breakfast was ending and lunch beginning. Tables refilled just after they emptied. Many of the people visiting seemed to be local. A friendly lady informed us that event were often put on for children in one of the function/meeting rooms on rainy days.

Amazing value and beautiful building. Kids meals were grand, the sausages are a bit dubious quality but otherwise good value with a drink included. Jacket potatoes are fantastic, with loads of lovely coleslaw and salad. Highly recommend.

Stopped for breakfast as we departed St Davids after a stay in Yr Hendy holiday cottage. Well cooked, tasty, propper food. Were happy to change my choice of egg as I prefer scrambled. SO DELICIOUS.

Beautiful breakfast !!!! quick and efficient service from staff would highly recommend. Great place to eat

I have recently returned from another lovely week staying in beautiful St Davids and visited the brilliant Oriel y Parc cafe several times whilst there. I had a tasty dinner time light lunch of summer risotto my husband had fish cakes and son had goats cheese salad, all were excellent, beautifully presented and very tasty.

Stopped here for lunch while staying the other side of St David’s. I had their scampi and chips which was very good - the scampi tasted fresh and came nice and crispy, the fries were well seasoned and it came with a beautiful salad (lovely dressing on it).

We always visit Oriel y Parc on our annual visit to Pembrokeshire. This year we were stopping in St. David's so visited twice for breakfast. It was served with a smile & all needs were catered for as there were 2 vegetarians in our party. We were a little early on our second visit but they let us in anyway!

We visit this place regularly through the holidays. Always a nice welcome, fabulous cake not to mention great coffee. The quality of the breakfasts are just excellent - when we’ve missed breakfast the lunches are fab, with fresh produce too. There is also a great selection of gluten free options, even the cakes...!

Very good food, excellent service and great ambiance. Great attention to detail with everything just right. A tea pot that pours without dripping is always a good start. Their take on a bacon sandwich is fantastic.

Turning up with 10 minutes to go before the kitchen closed we hopefully asked for food. The girls were happy to oblige and brought out freshly prepared delicious food for my friend and I. We sat and chatted oblivious to the time and realised they had closed, not once were we made to feel hurried or obliged to leave. They were so friendly and polite and a credit to the business. Thank you Sioned, Ella & Lily, this is definitely my cafe of choice in St Davids every time

Each morning on our stay in St David's, we came here for breakfast. Absolutely wonderful food, recommend to anyone staying in the St Davids area.

We were recommended to Oriel Y Parc Cafe by our AirBnB host (who didn't do BnB). It was great call. Great food with gluten free options, but what really made the cafe was the staff, especially Denise who was a mine of information as well as being a joy to talk to.

This is a large and bright cafe within the splendid visitor centre complex. The menu is comprehensive and caters for full meals, snacks or just coffee tea and cake.

Meet my wife's family in St David and they want to go somewhere for a coffee, which we did and ended up eating there.

Great food, with a very friendly welcome! An interesting menu done very well, I would recommend a visit!

Visited during the day and booked a table on the Wednesday for the Open Min Night. Excellent Night presented by Dave and the Staff. Staff very courteous and helpful with seating and food arrangements. We had a small issue with the food which was resolved straight away by the manageress. A big thank you for a great night. Well recommended.

Visiting St Davids Cathedral on the weekend. Popped in the Cafe to have some Cawl and was not dissapointed. Friendly service with a smile.

many cafes in Pembrokeshire close in January. We were delighted to find this one open and busy at 12 noon. Sandwiches and jacket potatos were generous with salad and coleslaw and well made

Popped in for lunch with the Mrs and mother in law and we all had fresh pumpkin soup which was delicious. Also had the pumpkin spiced latte. Very nice but not large considering the £3.50 price. I do not think it is the cheapest place but the quality was good and they probably charge a bit more to cover the overheads which is fine for me. Staff were lovely. Would pop in again. - the big breakfast sounds amazing.

Breakfast and food and service is always good here, nice to have a breakfast before our walk into town, tourist information and shop and gallery, well worth a visit

Called in after a lovely walk around St David's Catherderal and town. We were slightly pushed for time so ordered cake, 2 coffees and a sandwich. The first e items arrived very quickly, but 2p minutes later no sign of the sandwich. Eventually they had to give it to us in a takeaway box. No apology, not even a complementary top up of coffee. Won't bother going there again.

Been in st David’s for the last 4 days, had breakfast here every day, it was amazing every day can’t fault a thing!! Highly recommend. Will deffo be coming back!! 👌👌

We escaped a very rainy morning to come here for breakfast. The coffee is REALLY good. We ordered the Gluten Free breakfast and it was delicious. This is a great place to come and it's a beautiful building too.

This is a good place for morning coffee, or even a late breakfast. it is next to the information centre, and near the bus stop too. It is a convenient meeting place , and staff are kind and efficient.

Stopped by for a good value meal offering mains for about £10 or less. Great as St David’s expensive and busy, they have just started opening Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings 1830-2100. On a Wednesday they have an open mic night which sounds pretty good and lots of fun. However we visited Friday and appreciated location next to car park, which is free to park after 1700. Recommend a visit and making the most of cheaper eats on the above evenings. Table service available on these evenings. Happy to eat here as we chose from small evening menu.

We called here on a Saturday mid afternoon. I was surprised it was fairly empty as it was school holidays but most probably the lunch rush was over. Tea and cake very good. But what was very annoying the waitress was busy sweeping the floors and dragging the chairs! I could hardly hear my friend speak! I couldn't believe she wasn't aware of the noise she was making, I appreciate staff want to finish on time but if customers have paid £10 for a drink and cakes surely this could be done quietly or really after they have left. I would guess the time was around 3.30 pm so no real hurry to do it then."

We wanted somewhere to stop for lunch and stopped off here to look at the artwork (nothing much to write home about) and grab some food. Was pleasantly surprised to find a vegan choice, and the vegan cooked breakfast was also available at lunchtime. Nice coffee too, and nice surroundings. Not particularly fancy, but did the job just fine.

Next to the visitor centre so convenient. Average food and somewhat soleless. There are better cafes in St. Davids.

I brought my friend here who hadn't been before. The cafe was fairly quiet which was good as we wanted to relax and have a catch up. I ordered from the special board- Lamb oggie, the meal took a good while to come but again we didn't mind as we were not in a rush. I went to cut it to the oggie but it had been microwaved to high heaven! The end piece was so hard it flew in the air and landed somewhere under the tables! the oggie was very tough and dry. I also noticed I didn't have the coleslaw on the side as mentioned on the special board, only very wilted green salad leaves. The friends meal of ham egg and chips was good. The coffee was nice too.

This used to be a thriving cafe serving excellent food, and as locals we enjoyed coming here ,but since been taken over sometime back it is no longer the case.The only thing that's still ok is the coffee.It use to be difficult to find a seat,but now is quiet whilst St Davids was very busy with visitors.On a beautiful sunny day the outside seating hadn't been put out.

Popped in for lunch. One of our party is a Coeliac so we had done our research to find an establishment offering gluten free options. Lovely knowledgeable staff who put the celiac at ease. The food was really tasty, a really pleasant environment too. Would definitely visit again.

if you want to know about St David's - must visit the staff are brilliant. the café was worth 3 visits in 1 week. dog friendly outside sheltered seating

A relaxed atmosphere when we visited today. Service was quick and efficient. We were particularly impressed by the way the manager and staff handled an incident involving a customer who had been rude when being served resulting in the manager having to ask the gentleman to respect her staff. Well done to all and thank you for handling the incident so professionally.

We were surprised at the poor range of cards and things to sell. Very little appeared to relate to the special near by places of interest. Best part were the ladies in the shop. Helpful and ki9nd.

Came here spontaneously after visiting the information center and really liked the chocolate muffin and coffee. So I came back the next day and liked the carrot cake even better! The café is not particularly cosy, still a nice place for a break and maybe plan your next activities in/around St. Davids.

Delicious food and helpful, friendly staff who understand the issues around food choices / sameness / timing with small children!

Have thoroughly our meals at the cafe and whilst there on our first visit noticed the poster for an open mic night. Reserved a table and had a super Thai meal with superb entertainment given by a talented guitarist and organiser Mike, alongside many different acts during the night. Just a pleasure to sit in such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Service is relaxed so allow enough time especially if using pay and display car park. Can thoroughly recommend the venue and the occasion, all helped by very friendly staff. Will be going again on our next visit to the area.

The food when it eventually arrived after nearly 40 minutes was very good but the wait was too long. We were told 20-30 minutes but think everyone was being told the same in order for it to sound better than it was. At one point we were given food only for it to be taken away again as it was meant for another table! Probably wouldn’t go again

While visiting the wonderful Pembrokeshire again we were looking for something a bit different on the Wednesday night. After a quick Internet search we were presented with Oriel Y Parc open Mic night. We reserved a table and were advised on booking that the open...

We stopped here to visit the gallery but we all had a cup of excellent coffee plus a heart-shaped Welsh cake each. Dry good value, friendly staff, comfortable and clean. Highly recommended.

Was curious to go after mixed reviews but was not disappointed! We went for a morning coffee with lovely hot chocolates and a wide range of gluten free cakes. After a walk in St David's we decided to go there again for lunch the soup was delicious and the burger was massive. The staff were friendly and helpful a very nice place to eat well worth a visit!

The Cafe is modern in design, very clean, with a mix of tables and chairs, and comfy sofas. The staff are quick, friendly, and polite ~ all smiling and welcoming. I only stopped in for a hot chocolate and found they serve a very good one, thick, rich and chocolatey, and not overly expensive at £2.50 for a large size. The cakes looked temptingly delicious, but I did not succumb this visit, however, having read the menu, which has a variety of local, traditional, a few more adventurous, and some seasonal items, I will be popping back soon to try out a lunch time vegetarian meal.

Stopped off here as part of the Christmas craft fayre. Had some soup which was a bit tasteless but the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff there carried it through. Good choice of foods available though by the looks of it. Would visit again

Lovely salad garnish, but rest of meal was a disappointment, tough garlic bread and rather tasteless canneloni, but my colleagues...

A cosy and friendly place to have breakfast and the coffee is the best in the area. The staff is...

Un buen café y un desayuno muy agradable - este lugar está todavía va fuerte, no sólo buena comida también personal agradable. Uno de los mejores lugares en la calle Davids

Como teníamos sólo llegamos a la calle de David, sólo queríamos una copa y un aperitivo. Pedimos magdalenas que eran enormes y yo tuvimos un capuchino, que era muy bueno. Servicio rápido y muy agradable para sentarse afuera en el sol.

Paramos aquí, con los amigos, para un almuerzo tarde en un lluvioso día de junio. Todos pidieron bocadillos que venía con ensalada y col - un completo almuerzo, no sólo un aperitivo. El bocadillo estaba lleno de abundante y la ensalada fresca. Nos gustó tanto...

Um es vorwegzunehmen: Wenn das Oriel Y Parc Cafe gut besucht ist, wartet man länger auf sein Essen. Aber: Es...

The cafe is our favourite place to have a drink and a bite to eat in StDavid's- the food is consistently great, the cakes are amazing, the coffee (caf and decaf) fab and the staff are very friendly and really helpful. The coffee and walnut cake is too good to share! Eaten a lot of cake and it's the best I've ever had. We also regularly have breakfast/brunch or lunch there and have enjoyed it every time. The food is freshly cooked, locally produced and well presented. The portions are a good size as well. In fact it's really too tempting and it's hard to resist stopping when in St Davids, we don't live that far away either so temptation often gets the better of us!!!

Ordered 3 crab sarnies and a blt. I know it says on menu they come with salad garnish and coleslaw but..... A huge amount of salad, a large pile of coleslaw, half a packet of crisps, oh and the sandwich. Very little crab in the sandwich, bits of shell. Why serve a blt with loads of lettuce. Poor for £10 a sandwich. A sandwich is a light bite, not a meal. We've had much better crab sandwiches for less money in other cafes. Nice place but there's better alternatives in St David's. Sorry, if i order a sandwich thats all I want and it needs to be a good one.

My boyfriend and I stopped off at Oriel Y Parc cafe on Easter weekend for a spot of lunch. Although busy our waitress Sammi was quick to make us feel welcome and recommended food choices (see picture). There was a slight wait on food but we were informed before ordering and kept up to date on our foods progress whilst waiting. Our waitress Sammi was attentive and made our visit lovely, and the food was amazing and good quality. I thoroughly recommend the Scampi. Atmosphere was great and all the other waitresses seemed friendly and smiley too! 5 Stars!!
