Pantri Bach Cafe & Gift Shop in Carmarthenshire

Good selection of British cafe food at reasonable prices and excellent service. Will definitely visit again when back in the Abergele area.

Great place super service great food beat staff in pensarne. Would Recommend to all. Always friendly and never to much trouble

Always come when we get to Wales and when we are leaving, breakfast is super filling and affordable around £40 for 5 people

Visited here as too windy to go walking . The staff are delightful nothing too much for them. Little bit of a wait for food in cafe but well worth it. I had turkey ( although chicken as not able to supply turkey) cranberry and stuffing roll served with crisps and a really fresh salad garnish. Good blue fit money .

On the seafront. This cafe has a good selection of light bites, mains and desserts. A good sized mug of tea with lunch served by really friendly staff.

Revisited after nearly six years and it didn’t disappoint. Warmly welcomed by staff. Panini with bacon, Brie and cranberry just hit the spot. All helped down with a mug of steaming hot tea. Mustn’t forget the additional bowl of chips. Delighted that they still provide scissors to help those of us with less than than nimble fingers, open the sachets of mayonnaise or ketchup. So pleased that we returned.

We use this cafe s takeaway service on our regular day trips here . The staff here are lovely. The food is delicious and excellent value for money .

Definitely not restaurant quality food, in fact, I am convinced my food was brought in frozen food. Probably the only restaurant thing was being overpriced for fairly average fayre. Today I was asked by the waitress what I'd like. I ordered a panini and she asked me if I wanted salad or chips with it. I asked for chips and no mention of an extra charge was made. The food arrived, it looked average for a cafe, pale but warm chips and the thinnest panini I have ever seen. I ate it, tasted ok but the chips were bland. So, the problem came when I went to pay for the food. I was charged £11.30 for a panini which is £6.95 on the menu and £2.30 for an ordinary but unremarkable mug of tea and a charge of £2.05for the chips!! Really?? When I questioned this, the waitress said yes, the chips are chargeable and it is 'somewhere else on the menu ' and ' we assume everyone knows the chips are chargeable '. She shrugged and said sorry. I won't be going back, I don't appreciate being deceived, the food wasn't that good, it was overpriced. No, not ever.

very disappointed with the food, used to be a good cafe have being eating here for years, but sadly today not impressed.

Called here for a coffee after a very wet day in Colwyn Bay. Cafe was very busy, young staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered milky coffee’s which were perfect. The staff were very helpful with all customers and I would certainly recommend this Cafe if you are visiting with any wheelchair users as the staff went the extra mile.

23/10/23. What a fab place. Fast service and freshly made food. Thank you guys!! We usually pop in for ice cream. But having something to eat was out of this world. Sian and the young ladies working here are super stars. The staff in the kitchen are really rocking the place!! Thank you all so so much. They also have a nice range of gifts.. I will defo recommend them.

We stopped overnight local. The plus side is. The staff were lovely, pleasant polite, attentive (even when rushed) The toilets were 99% immaculate. The premises were found to be clean, tidy & well maintained (You could put a shelter up for the rubbish it looks awful as is) Had a late lunch of (Him) Scampi, chips & peas. (Her) Giant fishcake. My peas were near still frozen & the chips were dehydrated. Her the giant fishcakes were infact 2 X small ones in a tub LOL. Went for Breakfast the next day. We both had a large full English. I asked if it was the same as the small one but with more on the plate & had "everything" To be told yes. No mushrooms :-( The bacon had obviously been left under a heat lamp too long it was dehydrated, as were the eggs, over cooked. The sausages were the cheapest horrid sausages ever (Owner please add 50P per plate & use better ones) They were also only 1/2 cooked & left.

Delicious food, with a good choice on the 'specials' board (Eton Mess was sublime). pleasant, helpful staff in a small. clean, seaside café. We will return next time we are in the area (if it is open in October). Would definitely recommend.

Called for a panini for a quick lunch. Tea and latte. Drinks were hot and good quality. Food very tasty and very well presented. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Prices reasonable. Toilets clean. Lovely experience.

Great breakfast and lovely staff. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast against the beach whatever the weather.

Overpriced, poor quality food, they’ve obviously seen the tourists coming !! Won’t be back. I definitely do not recommend this place.

Busy cafe but we were seated straight away, our order was taken quickly, they had just ran out of gammon and hand carved ham was offered instead. Drinks came followed by hot tasty & a large portion of food. There were 4 young girls serving who never stopped & all with a friendly smile. We were on holiday & it was a pleasure to be there with so many locals enjoying good quality food & company.

Lovely coffee , lovely breakfast, clean place would recommend to anybody who is wanting a great full English breakfast

This place is great for small family meetings and provide delicious meals. Would recommend to family and friends.

We went here after walking the dogs. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was cooked fresh to order. Nothing was too much trouble. The toilets were clean.

Visited on a cold wet Saturday. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much of a problem. Cheap and cheerful good homemade food.

Last reviewed this cafe in 2018, but since then we have had a pandemic, two lockdowns, social distancing amongst other things. They used to be a cracking menu especially the roast dinners, sadly they are no longer available as well as other tasty meals. Although...

Came here twice during our stay, staff friendly and efficient, breakfasts absolutely spot on. Will definitely return when next in the area

welcoming soon as you entered, all staff we're polite, left you alone while eating. Very clean at all time. Food lovely.

Great beach cafe, good choice of freshly cooked food all at reasonable prices. Very clean with first class friendly staff. We visited here several times during our short stay in Abergele and would not hesitate to recommend the Pantri Beach Cafe, we will certainly return....

Every time I am in North Wales I always go to this cafe as they do excellent meals, and the staff are polite and always make you welcome. Over the week I was in Wales I had most of my meals as it is good...

Dropped in during a cycle ride along the coastal path. Received a friendly welcome. Food was great and reasonably priced. Will definitely call in again.

Visited for lunch on our holiday. Very clean bright environment l, friendly staff and tasty good value meal. Who could asl for me. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend

Very friendly welcoming staff. Spotlessly clean premisses and food cooked well. Excellent value for money. Current covid regulations adhered to.

Great staff. Really friendly and helpful. Were lovely with my grandson and helped him decide what he wanted! Get rid of the 100 word minimum or people will write rubbish 😁

Their cakes and pastries were really appetising. The people were also friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again!

Called today with my wife. The food was plentiful and hot. The staff were friendly and helpful. I used to visit with my dad before he passed away last year.

Had an absolutely brilliant full english, nice service lovely people would recommend. Toast could be browner tho :( still brill 🍷

Excellent service by a lovely young waitress. Tasty breakfast - served hot, good portions and nicely presented. Cracking cup of tea. (Handy stop whilst waiting for my train) The restaurant looked like it has had a refurbishment and looks great. Spotless.

Visited 2 days running. Excellent food and service. Very clean, friendly, polite and prompt. Highly recommend for solo or group visits. Beautiful views of the beach and Irish Sea. Particular well done to Kirsty, looking after all customers young and old!

A lovely little cafe on the promenade. Great food and great portion sizes. The young waitresses were top notch and very, very attentive. Annoyed with the reviewer below who called them ‘dopey’. Maybe you shouldn’t be so ‘grumpy’. Great to see some young girls working...

stopped here today for a bit of lunch we had fishcake beans and chips it was delicious and ever so cheap yes 5 stars from us also the young girls that were serving were very pleasant keep up the good work.

Great service especially considering the staff all seemed very young. Lovely paninis and quick service. All good. Served doggy ice cream too. Ate outside in the sun. Lovely.

Absolute joke this place.if u order a large breakfast u get 1 sausage 1 egg and and the cheapest bacon imaginable. Although my bacon was jus thick fat on this occasion.u get no toast and no tea or coffee with the breakfast either.my daughter got...

Super tasty ice cream. Great friendly staff. Right on the sea front. Roll on when the restrictions end and indoor dining is allowed again. Keep up the good work!

From arriving at the cafe for take out, it was unclear where food was to be ordered and just seemed extremely unorganised. There were 4 groups waiting for food ahead of us and a few with orders for drinks only. We waited atleast 25 mins...

I highly recommend using this cafe. Always excellent food, drinks and service with beautiful beach and panoramic views of the countryside. Especially like to congratulate Mandy and Shanice for their wonderful friendly service.

Absolutely superb. Just right. Beautifully cooked. Not too greasy and just the right portion. I will be returning for more. Friendly service.

Totally disgusting been coming for years food and service disgusting completely wrong food given and when told they wasn't bothered sending over £40 in there wrong food not cooked properly and shocking service no excuse because of covid19

I go to North Wales very frequently, round Towyn and Abergele and I always pop in the Pantri Bach on the way past. They make the best cup of tea ever!!

Absolutely love this beach cafe. Great value and delicious food. I love that they serve all day breakfast too! 🤩 Their dessert menu is to die for and the staff are always lovely and very helpful. We used to visit with my Nana all the...

This filled up my stomach ready for the day of work ahead, would really recommend. I had a lovely pie, very nice

Have been here a few times and it is value for money. Friendly and the staff have enormous patience with some customers who think it's ok to clear their plate and then complain or some who are offered fresh food and eat that and the...

Went last week, 4 of us , 4 main meals....not the best to be honest, 2 desserts which were not worth the £3.95 each at all as it was a tiny piece of Swiss roll and very runny custard, and 6 hot drinks , the...

Not an elegant exterior to this beachside cafe but worth a visit. Friendly efficient staff. Hot latte. Basic sandwich but ham carved off the bone so very substantial. The highlight was that a small pair of scissors were supplied to cut open the sauce sachets...

Been calling in here quite often over the years but recently find that you can be missed walking in there and be left sitting for over 15 mins or more, totally ignored, it seems to happens too often now so will not be going again....

Me & my Wife want some Toffees and Rock for gifts when we got back home, so passing this shop we popped in, Yes lots of Mixed Rocks & Boxes of Fudges & Toffees, Then we could smell the Coffee so we were hungry before...

Visited here several times this summer. Good food served piping hot by welcoming friendly staff. Clean surroundings and plenty of choice. Reccomended

Dropped in for a quick hot drink on the Wales Coast path and found super friendly service (the offer of running out to their other cafe to fetch some gluten free cake!) and a gluten free menu.

Very friendly staff with a good menu. Great for eating inside or outside Right on the beach front ideal for families.

Went for Sunday lunch,had lamb,very good tasty food Reasonable prices Staff very friendly and helpfull

I had a bacon burger and the burger it's self is thick juicy and tasty. Meant to ask who supplied them but was so busy chatting on way out I forgot. Staff looked like they needed cheering up though

We call for lunch often.today was disappointing first of all we sat down and waited totally ignored by staff they were more interested in cleaning etc when the food arrived the pork was so hard it could not be cut we were offered an other...

We ordered two breakfasts and chips cheese and curry sauce came up to £14. Chips cheese and curry was 3.90. When we got home to eat it there was half a portion of chips in there highly disappointing. Had to Waite 20 minutes for the...

Had a really nice lunch of chips and turkey stuffing sandwich. Freshly cooked and good value. FREE parking made it much better for us as other venues in the area charge and this kills local businesses. Service was also great as was the seating area...

Had lunch here.a tuna mayo jacket potato for me and beefburger and chips for my husband.meals were reasonably priced.was a bit of a wait but it was a busy time.staff were pleasant and polite.would return.

We attended for a lunch meal and had a panini and a salad, it took a while for a waitress to take our order, the man next to us got his order and his food arrived before we were even acknowledged. One of the meals...

Had sunday lunch today Lovely food,good portions and reasonable prices Would recommend Staff brilliant

This was your usual chips with everything not a particularly thrilling menu food was just ok ! Wouldn’t rush to go again ! Service was alright until a party of 7 came in and she lost interest in us two. She never did come to...

I love this little cafe that has a surprising amount of space inside. The food is lovely, good choice and is hot when it arrives (except salads and the like obviously!) and the staff are very polite and friendly. Nice view of the beach etc...

We were looking for somewhere to eat along the promenade on Bank holiday Monday with hubby and our 7 year old daughter. I am a bit “funny” about cleanliness, and won’t eat just anywhere. Bins outside were overflowing with litter, so I really wasn’t holding...

My mum and dad live in abergele and we always come here when we visit, such a lovely place, eveeyone is friendly and it's value for money, my little boy loves his sausage sandwiches here

Not sure why I have waited to leave a review. Found this cafe on our holidays about 18 months ago and we go everytime we are in Wales! If we are staying locally we will visit 3 times within the week. If we arent that...

Visited this lovely cafe on Saturday after a nice walk along the beach. Fantastic views, staff very welcoming with big smiles. I had the ham,egg,chips & peas, the ham was beautiful, real thick cut proper ham. My husband had the full English which was delicious,...

How this gets a five star hygeine rate is beyond me. We sat where we could see the kitchen. The wall tiles were streaked with, I presume, grease and the utensils and pans were well past sell by date. The food is what it is,...

the staff were very good but the food was diabolical, it was overly expensive and was of poor quality, badly cooked and and slappedf on a plate. definately not going back.

Very tasty food and drinks, quick service,eat in and out, very clean , staff are nice, the price is reasonable and and they have a large variety of food and it has quick snacks to any time if the day meals

I was surprised how big it was inside, Basic Cafe with excellent hot and tasty food at unbelievable low prices, no wonder it was packed out

went for all day breakfast,lovely fresh food,good portion.Sat at window,lovely sea view,lots of free parking

This is an excellent cafe on the prom at Pensarn. It is ideal for walkers and bikers on the coastal path or those enjoying the beach. It has indoor and outdoor facilities, prices are low, quality high and the staff friendly and efficient. They deserve...

It was poor. The roast dinner was overpriced. The vegetables were undercooked. I told the waitress I didn't want much gravy, but there was far too much gravy for me. The chicken was very dry. I don't know why they only do chicken breast. I...

We called in here for lunch we had a lovely meal , always lovely staff , make you feel so welcome . Little gem of a place . Thank you we will be back .

Arrived at lunchtime and the place was packed but the young lady quickly took our order. Couldn't fault the meal and my husband who can be picky with food actually went over to the gentleman who might have been the owner to say the meal...

Come on now. How far would you travel for breakfast? The reason I ask is that because this is such a splendid little cafe I have actually driven the fifty miles from home to get my Welsh Breakfast fix here. During open season we have...

Visited twice in one day demonstrating that the Pantri Bach is well worth visiting. This traditional seaside cafe is located close to the beach and offers a great selection of food and drinks. The prices are competitive and service excellent. Will definitely return in the...

I love this little beach cafe. It does everything it's supposed to. Mean fry ups, butties/toasties etc and there's always a specials board. The prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are spot on. Also great for hot chocolates on a wet and windy day....

Another top full English breakfast from pantri Bach cafe. We visit North Wales every year and visit this cafe with out fail, the food is very good, staff very friendly, well worth a visit.

After a short holiday with friends we decided to have breakfast before heading home, what a great little find. The food was scrumptious, honest homemade cooking and the service good, efficient and friendly. Will definitely return and recommend.

Waited 25mins to be served, staff stood around the till area talking to each other; didn’t even acknowledge us sat at table. Gave up and walked out!

Good table service and breakfasts arrived quickly. Very reasonably priced. Staff friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

Family visit. 6 adults and 2 children. Initially served quick drink orders were quick however drinks arrive incorrect, mug of tea came with milk already poured which is quite poor as people like completely different had to send two back as far too much milk....

This was our go to place for breakfast on our 4 night camping stay. What a lovely little cafe! Brilliant food and great service. Definitely worth the visit.

Recently visited with our small children. We sat outside which was lovely! Food was reasonably priced. Staff all friendly. Only bad point was the toilets which where dirty, toilet seat broken and no baby changing facilities. Other than that I’d definitely visit again.

We arrive daily at 11:45 and ordered drinks and a meal, the drinks came quickly however, after 20 minutes he meal had not arrived when queried with one one the waitresses we we told there was a delay and offered to us get another cup...

We called into her for a ‘functional’ lunch, with low expectations, after time on the beach and were very pleasantly surprised. We sat outside, but weren’t restricted to the takeaway menu. The ham salad, although basic, was very fresh with big slices of tasty ham!...

Beeing visiting the castle nearby so we stoped at the beach side. Friendly servicing, reasonable prices. Cake was okay. And the coffee was so strong.
