Penmaenmawr Beach Cafe in Conwy

We stumbled across this on a lovely walk on the beach. We shared some chips and curry sauce can’t wait to go back and try more. Staff really friendly.

A fabulous cafe set on a fabulous beach in Penmaenmaur. The food was usual cafe food, baked potatoes, baguettes, wraps, breakfast served until 2pm, quite an extensive choice and cooked fresh. Definitely what we needed after a 10km walk. The ladies who served us were lovely, so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble which gave the cafe a lovely warm atmosphere and we all left feeling all the better for going there - it made our day!

We were on a family weekend to wales . We noticed the cafe by the beach and called in for lunch - lovely atmosphere great service and food was lovely . Once we arrived at the beach we noticed we had forgotten our beach umbrella the owner kindly gave us one of his - very kind gesture . We enjoyed it that much we called back again before we went home for breakfast -again great service .

Walked along the prom and stopped here for lunch. Was very impressed with the place. My gammon and chips was delicious, proper gammon too; a plateful for only £8.50, fantastic value for money. Service was excellent. Need to be aware that this is a cash only establishment and plan accordingly. Will definitely be returning.

Nice location with great views. We sat outside. Food was ok, decent chips. Was a cash only location hence my rating. Would have spent more but only had 10 pound note on me.

Called here after a bracing walk (or scoot in my case on my mobility scooter) along the promenade, initially for a drink but after looking at the menu we decided on a plate of chips with curry sauce to share too. Chips were crispy but fluffy inside (best chips we've had in a while) with a little pot of fruity curry sauce, it was just what we needed, light and tasty. The ambience of the place was lovely and had a nice view of the sea while eating. Staff were polite and nice to deal with. They serve drinks and snacks as well as full meals and have a good menu.

What a find. A cafe with stunning views, great staff and food....and a social care. Even dog ice cream supports Battersy dog charity. Tom sauce is from sustainably grown tom. Would be great if other business cared ad much for society.

Extremely helpful staff, the lady who served me was an absolute delight and only too happy to help. Beautiful views of the coast and nice little pool next to the cafe

Great place, super staff, amazing views, food is great too, what's not to like...? The squeeky chairs on the floor are a bit annoying but that's that's as bad as it gets.. Highly recommended

Went for breakfast. Coffee arrived and it was cold! And unfortunately that set the standard for the rest of the meal. The toast arrived before the breakfast and they had used crusts from a sliced loaf. Asked for bread and butter ( cost £1:50 extra) to eat with my breakfast but by the time I received it my breakfast was cold. Obviously I will NOT be returning !!

Great breakfast, right on the beach. Cash only but there is a cash machine up on the High Street. Lovely place for a weekend stroll down the Prom and a stop off in any weather

Lovely staff , good coffee and breakfast. Good pricing. Great beach . I wish we lived nearby .Regular customers very friendly to visitors.

Right on the beach. Good and friendly service. Variety of popular dishes from Breakfast to Teatime. Clean with pleasant seating in and out doors.

Really lovely beach cafe. Seating inside and out. Great food and drinks. Near to the kids paddling pool on lovely beach. Visited a few times whilst in that area for a week, definitely return

This lovely cafe become a regular during our week visit to the area. The staff are lovely, the food is tasty, hot and quickly prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside with lovely views enjoying the best cappuccino in town! Our dog loved it too! Thanks girls'

Beutiful Beach Cafe very resonable prices and a good selection of sandwiches great view of Anglsey Dog Friendly Recommended

Very dog friendly, good food well priced, nice cakes, inside and outside seating, closed now for the winter.

Well worth a visit if only for a cup of tea.Free parking beach walks lots of shells to collect then inside for a nice meal

While visiting the village we discovered this gem. Friendly, helpful staff and good food at reasonable prices.

We had a wonderful dinner with new friends and cousins. The food was amazing and the owners were so sweet.

A nice café tucked out of the way the food is fantastic and the staff are very helpful plenty of seating for family and their are toilets in side the café nice location just of the beach a great sun trap

The breakfasts arrived promptly and hot and tasty. Wonderful to be able to watch the waves crashing over the rocks a few feet away.

Came here on my bike from Prestatyn for lunch. Route 5 runs along the promenade, right by the cafe. A reasonable selection of standard cafe meals at good prices. Friendly staff serving good portions. Was able to eat outside, despite the wind, with fine views across to Puffin Island and Anglesey. The attentive staff made sure the crockery was collected before the gulls had a chance to swoop down for a nibble.

Recently visited the beach cafe after living in the village for a little while. We popped down the beach for a little walk and decided to pop in for a bit of lunch. We were really happy to see that although it is the only cafe in the location the prices where more than reasonable. We ordered hit dogs chips and orange juice. The staff were really friendly and the food was served quickly. The cafe is self is really nice and has a small village feel. The food was tasty and we thought the chips were extra tasty! Would visit again and recommend to a friend, great place!

This is a lovely place to have lunch or icecreams when having a day on the excellent sandy beach. Prices are very reasonable with a good portion size. The staff are lovely. They do not sell any alcohol which helps keep the area very family friendly.

Called in here for a nice black coffee to get out of the sun. Friendly staff and the place was clean. Even treated myself to a ice cream . Yum yum. Good price for the coffee and ice cream.

reasonable cup of tea..lovely ice cream...prices great..not a rip off like some ....parking close by was free...beach amazing

Lovely food very friendly people very helpful they don't just sell food there is all sorts of things there even old books about penmaenmawr you can read through while having a mug of tea or coffee and the servis is brilliant really enjoy going there

Excellent value, wonderful staff and when the damned seagulls pinched our food it was replaced in an instant by the owner, you cannot say fairer than that!

On our recent short term break we had breakfast each morning at the beach cafe

Great cafe right by the beach and outside paddling pool. Great food and ice creams. Lovely atmosphere and happy friendly staff.

Visited today with family ordered hot drinks and cakes. Chocolate cake and frangipan were very stale. Hot drinks were ok but weak. Visited at 3.30pm whilst there, someone was sweeping the floor even sweeping around you then they started mopping g the flood again even around your feet whilst trying to eat.several people had come in during this with the floor being very wet which made it quite slippy under your feet but the smell of the cleaning products was overwhelming whilst people are trying to eat food that it put me off staying any longer. The floor looked ok so they could have waited until closer to closing time.

Went here here today for lunch with friends and kids (dogs too) and received a lovely welcome from a gentleman (presume owner) and very quickly too our food came and it was lovely. Everything was spot on

We popped down to Penmaenmawr to have a look at the sand sculptures as did a lot of people. The cafe was busy but the staff were friendly under pressure; gave us lovely food and kept the tables clear and clean. Great value for money. Note that it is cash only as they mention in their description.

Excellent cooked breakfast, hot, tasty food and lovely friendly staff Nice location and plenty of space, clean and reasonable prices too. Great to set you up for the day!

Dropped in for lunch having walked along the beach. Lots of seating inside and outdoors. Nice friendly service and a wide range of good value lunch options. They also sell ice creams, cake, souvenirs, buckets, spades etc. Not a gourmet dining experience, but what do you expect! I will be back.

Cheap enough, but you get what you pay for. Weak coffee, pasty cheap sausage & bacon on the breakfast & everything lukewarm. Will give it another shot if the staff promise to crack a smile.

Stopped in after a day of exploring the beach with the family. Good prices, good food and a great way to end our lovely day!

We are so glad this lovely café has opened up again after the winter. The staff are so friendly and you cannot fault the service. We only have a snack but the views and lovely cycle path outside make it a great way to spend an afternoon. We will return soon to sample the lovely cakes and pastries and a great mug of tea.

Called for tea and coffee about 4.30 pm and got a friendly welcome. They close at 5.00. The drinks were very nice. The cakes looked delicious specially the coffee and walnut. One of the staff apologised for carrying in the outside tables and chairs and told us to enjoy our drinks that there was no rush. The menu had a good range of breakfasts, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and meals like gammon, scampi and burgers. It is beside a cycle track. Parking is on the road and then there is a short walk under the railway and the road. There are plenty of tables outside and a small children's paddling pool nearby. We are planning to come back to eat.

Lovely food, and a good choice, with some nice and different specials done each time I've visited.Staff are friendly and lovely, and you get to eat by a beautiful beach.

We arrived at 11.05 thinking we'd miss the lunchtime madness and while most tables were occupied, it wasn't full. We ordered a panini and a wrap a short time later and settled down to feed our baby. It was 12.00 before our food arrived. We had just told a member of staff to cancel the order if it hadn't been started and that's when it arrived. The quality of the food was alright and the value was good. The staff were ok, except when we complained we were told that in peak season the wait could be 30 minutes. We told her it wasn't peak season and we'd waited over 45 minutes. Didn't get acknowledged or an apology. We've just bought a house in the area and still exploring the area, but we won't go back here.

Having downtime whilst IT problems sorted in the office, it was decided that we all let the engineer work and we went to the Beach Cafe for lunch.

Called in on the off chance, so glad we did, food was fantastic, cracking mug of tea, place was spotless and clean and staff were very pleasant. Good value for money. Sat outside and enjoyed the views across to Anglesey and the Great Orme. Will definitely be visiting here again on our regular beach walks.

We occasionally stop by the café on a chilly walk out since they are dog-friendly.

We decided to visit Penmaenmawr today as it has been at least 10 years since we were last here. Delighted to find this great little café, did not know it was here. We only had tea and cake, but will call again and sample one of their well-priced meals. Not sure about the dogs being allowed in the café but everyone looked happy about them, so no problem. Lovely view from our table and the toilets were spotless. Well done.

We called in this little cafe by off chance, very friendly staff, also dog friendly, we all had a lovely coffee, and even Betty the boarder managed to get a sausage, all in all a nice little cafe

Knowing this cafe to be here and the friendly helpful owners and staff we decided that, rather than stop at the services on our way to Porthmadog we’d stop off here for lunch. Instead of paying sky high services prices for prepackaged sandwiches we came here for freshly made to order food at good prices, not forgetting the friendly smile and chat. If you get the weather you can also sit outside, with spectacular views.

We come here often as the food is amazing! Kev and Nicky are always welcoming and the prices cannot be beaten!

Our family visited the cafe on route to Anglesey.

For a cup tea and flapjack it's fine, and can get ice cream too. There's no competition. But it's in a concrete bunker that represents a desperate 1960s attempt to add a a small paddling pool to a very large seafront.

My wife and I started using this regularly last few months for coffee , sandwiches , ice cream and bacon butties , all really good quality and nicely presented and fair price, all staff very friendly, lovely beach location and outside terrace with views to Anglesey, puffin island and Llandudno, what more could you ask for , can not wait for our next visit!

Open early till 6pm - food is great. Service friendly. They are great with kids and you can take your dogs in. All good.

Lovely cafe with freshly prepared food to order. Wait with patience during busy periods as I would rather have fresh prepared food than chips that have been in a heated compartment for 20 minutes.

Called in on a Monday lunchtime with the dog. Place quite busy and other customers had dogs too - nice to find somewhere you can take a pooch indoors with you.

Thanks we had a lovely coffee on Sunday morning... we didn’t have any food but looking at others I can’t wait to come back and have a meal... lovely and friendly and nice and warm.. nice to see dogs been able to come in aswell xx thank you

Was very quiet late in day as had been raining and end of school hols, enjoyed the special of the day, an aromatic garden veggie burger, quite delicious! All staff very friendly and welcoming, look forward to sunny days outside but its always sunny inside!

Only had coffee and a delicious Welsh Cake but food all around looked gorgeous. Sat outside with the dog. Water for dogs available, lovely views of the beach. Menu had lots on it. Staff very accommodating. All in all a great little place.

Stayed locally and were recommended to this little gem of a cafe, been every day since! Gorgeous food and coffee. Just rebooked to come next year so we will be back!

Best ...and cheapest coffee I'd tasted all year ..... £1.20for a large mug. Panini bursting with filling served with a decent salad and delicious chips ..fantastic value, fast friendly service and views to die for. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Went with a group of seven family members. It was a busy day but the service was still friendly and quick. The cakes were delicious. Great view of the beach.

Lovely cafe on the beach front. Very friendly with a large menu, something for everyone. Lovely presented breakfast & great taste. Lovely selection of sandwiches, jacket potatos & main meals.

This is a great place to stop and have a cuppa or a bite to eat after a stroll along the beach. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A great place for all the family.

This is a great place you can take dogs in or sit outside the owner a lovely man makes you feel welcome and serves Tea, coffe , pops Cakes Dinners you name it also has nice clean toilets for a public place

Hoy visitamos esta pequeña joya.

Mi marido quería ir aquí para su desayuno en el Día del padre. Las vistas desde el paseo marítimo es impresionante. La cafetería abre a las 10 a. m. Hay asientos en el interior y al aire libre. Los perros son bienvenidos mientras están en un plomo. Eligió el desayuno full monty (se sirven todo el día) que consistía en 2 lonchas de bacon, salchichas, 2, 2, 1 huevo croquetas de patata, 1 rodaja de morcilla, alubias, setas y 1 rodaja de pan tostado. Tuve granos en 2 rebanadas de pan blanco delgado. Ambos tuvimos una taza grande de té. Mi marido no me gustó la salsa marrón. Estaba en una bolsita (desconocido). El personal de trabajo eran todos muy amables. La cuenta fue de 13 libras. 40 que tuve que pagar en efectivo ya que no hay máquina de tarjeta. Día marido disfrutó de su padre. Dejó con una danza del vientre y una sonrisa en su rostro.

Gran relación calidad-precio, Cafe perros. Junto a la piscina y la playa Penmaenmawr. Prepare comida caliente! ! Delicioso gracias! ! Volveremos en el fin de semana para un full monty! !

Llame desayuno me alegro de que te pierdas tu abierto en invierno me encanta la comida y el personal muy agradable y servicial siempre estará allí de nuevo

I called here whilst walking the Wales Coast Path. It was the Bank Holiday Saturday and there was obviously an event taking place nearby as the general area was packed. The cafe was really busy but I was impressed that the staff, despite being under pressure, were very cheerful, helpful and pleasant (not always the case!). Decent food and not expensive.

Called in with my husband while on a bike ride Lovely cafe and friendly staffHome cooked food nicely presented Lovely jacket potatoes with various fillings lovely !!Very nice outdoor seating area over looking the sea what more can you ask for Well worth a visit

If you holiday in this area and have a dog, this café is for you. They actively welcome dogs as long as they are well behaved. The food is prepared on order and delivered in a friendly manner. We had a small problem with a cold Burger, which was changed immediately without any problem, offered free drinks or a cake. We refused, BUT we went back the following day for another meal (paid for by us) to show that we appreciated their handling of the problem and the food. I would recommend this café, it has views over the beach and sea.

Met friends here-had never been before,but was really pleased with the outcome.Nice friendly staff,very good cooked breakfast & hot coffee.A great venue with a fantastic sea view over to the Orme & to Anglesey,the owner even borrowed us his binoculars for a closer look at the fantastic view.Nice and airy/spacious inside & outdoor seating for those nice warm days.Very pleased-will certainly visit again.

Having driven past penmaenmawr many times i decided to drive down to the sea front , nice place with lovely sand tho only access to beach is via slipway but very clean !! the beach cafe is very nice with well stocked drinks cabinet and cakes on display in another cabinet, coffee is reasonable price and very nice , the staff are very friendly and chatty , tho didn't eat today I will return on another day and sample what's on offer

On my walk along the beach that I spent many happy times as a child I was passing a small cafe in Penmaenmawr North Wales and decided to call in for breakfast and the service from taking my order to bringing my bacon,egg and sausage toastie which was piping hot and very tasty to my table was friendly and excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed it and if you are in the area they are open daily from 10am.

Really love this place we call most days with our three children. Friendly, clean and good value food! Also lovely panoramic view from the windows of the best beach in North Wales!

We stopped for a cuppa & cake at this lovely little cafe, while out on a bike ride.Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, fab cake & good value for money. There is a varied menu & several people were enjoying the breakfast option! Handy location, on the sea front. Will definitely return & recommend!

A request for two coffees was treated to a rude complaining retort. This may have been an attempt at humour but it was very unwelcoming. Before we had finished our table was being cleared and wiped. The message was clear: time to leave. The food and drinks were perfectly acceptable but the staff attitude was diabolical. In no rush to return.

I visit the beach cafe a few times a year. Having grown up in pen and spending heaps of time down the beach growing up it's always nice to go back and visit. I think the menu is great and provides choice for a range of people! I had the gammon. The portions a fantastic size! I couldn't finish it as I was stuffed by the end. My husband wanted a breakfast and he loves fried bread. Although we didn't see it on the menu it was no bother for them to add some on for him. I was really pleasantly surprised to see cartons of soy milk on the counter. Having recently found out that I'm dairy intolerant this meant I could have a coffee with milk and not have to worry. Kids meals are fab and come with a carton of drink and a lolly for afters. It was really busy today and well deserved too. Can't wait for our next visit!

Clean and tidy, indoor or outdoor seating available. Fresh or ground coffee was available. Also sells some items for beach

we have been four times with our autistic son (who is VERY picky about where we can go) and the welcome, food and service were great every time.We will see you again tmrw !

great position too, right on the beach plus access to cycle path, skateboard area etc and only a couple of minutes walk from the train station.

Good: LocationBad: I was not allowed to have my laptop open inside the cafe. I was typing an essay not watching a movie. I have never experienced this rule anywhere else before.The coffee was really poor (I did not try the food).

I was told by a rude proprietor that I was not allowed to have my laptop open in the cafe whilst I sat and ate the (poor quality) food and drink I had ordered.

Regular visitors to this area, and we 'always' make for the Beach Café. On this occasion we had a meal - I had 'cod & Chips' while my wife enjoyed 'Gammon with egg, jacket potato and peas' and gluten free carrot cake. DELICIOUS. So obliging with her diet.In addition to the excellent food, we were served by staff who obviously enjoyed serving us. Looking forward to our next visit in October. Always a pleasure to visit this café. the views are fantastic as well as the hosptality.

We cycled to Penmaenmawr and were hoping there may be a café for a break when we got there. We were very nicely surprised to come across this café as it was clean, welcoming and offered the sort of food and drink we were hoping for - I had a baked potato with tuna (served with a nice fresh salad and tasty coleslaw) and my husband had a bacon and egg bap (nice, not greasy). The lady serving was friendly and helpful and the food was good and reasonably priced. It was quite busy considering it was a Thursday in late September and obviously quite a few cyclists use it too. It was unseasonably warm so we sat outside and enjoyed the scenery. We would definitely go again if we were in the area.

We were here on a beautiful sunny September afternoon and after a long walk on the beach we sat outside the café with our three dogs (who enjoyed the doggie water bowl, thank you) and had yummy cheese & onion toasties which were perfectly presented with a crunchy salad and some home made coleslaw. The lady serving was absolutely lovely and we will definitely visit this café again if we return.

Best cafe around, staff fantastic, great food (especially the breakfasts!). The cakes are brilliant and a good selection of gluten free ones (moist!!). All in all 5 stars .

Living locally, my wife and I often park the car at nearby Dwygyfylchi (now there's a name to conjure with!) and walk the dog along the beach to Penmaenmawr. Our reward for our efforts is a "Mr Whippy" at the Beach Café, preferably served by the proprietor Kevin; he is very proud of his high-quality ice cream machine, which certainly does produce a lovely product - we cannot recommend it strongly enough, and the dog is quite impressed too! Once the weather gets colder, Kevin produces a good hot chocolate to ease our path. The Beach Café is a jolly and friendly place which does exactly what a beach café should do; it is wholly unpretentious, and keeps families happy with drinks, sandwiches and all-day fry-ups, whilst providing the children with buckets, spades and the usual seaside paraphernalia. A particularly pleasing feature is the loan of local history books on Penmaenmawr which you can read while you eat and drink. It is great to see such a café thriving and excelling at what it traditionally should do in the modern world.

The cafe is situated in a little gem of a place. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is good and unpretentious, perfect place to have a generous lunch or snack after lolling on the beach with the little ones. This is definitely NOT a greasy spoon sort of place . The views are amazing on a clear day too.

Down on the beachside at Pennaenmawr is this cafe serving the usual menu of sandwiches, meals etc. The good is average quality, OK for a change but not somewhere you'd go every day.

Genuinely a highlight of my visit to North Wales to visit family. Free parking within a minute's walk away, although opted for a level walk along the paved prom first before the best cheese and ham toastie ever ( as in a week later I can still remember it ) and a massive portion of cheesy chips that beat me. Great view, hugely friendly service and cleanest toilets ever - can't recommend this place enough and already planning a return visit

A fantastic view over Penmon and Puffin Island make it always a pleasure to visit this cafe. Food is unpretentious but well presented and generous. It is, strangely, one of the only places in Penmaenmawr where you can get a proper cup of coffee, several of the other establishments only offering instant. Service is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. I've had a breakfast which was excellent value and a lunch of sandwich and a portion of excellent chips which was too big for 2 of us to finish! Highly recommended.

Fantastic little find, great food,great service, great for a snack or meal, me and my wife were quietly surprised and would definitely visit again

Great little café, clearly lots of regulars, good choice of food. Great views. Would recommend. Tasty home made soup.

Am a regular here on my many adventures in North Wales. Very friendly staff and I love my regular vegetarian all day breakfast and occasionally veggie burger. Good prices too. I'll be back many times yet! Thank you!

My wife and I have dined at this beach located cafe on a number of occaisions over the last six years or so. Mine hosts Kevin and Nicki are a very hard working couple always wanting to please. In addition the employees are always pleasant and go out of their way to make your visit a pleasant experience. The menu caters for all tastes and is prepared to order, whether it is a snack or a large, served all day breakfast. Children are well looked after, especially during the spring summer seasons, when they can be entertained by a clown, magician or maybe a balloon twister. A fair number of seaside essentials, such as buckets and spades etc. are also offered for sale. There is a large wide prom for an away from traffic stroll, with views far out to sea. ships, boats and yatchts etc making the best of the fines weather.Very well worth taking a detour off the A55 fist sign Penmaenmawr when travelling East. This takes you direct on to the easy parking prom. The cafe is situated in a non traffic area of the prom.

prices are fair portions are great this is a great cafevery clean & all staff serve quickly & with a smile no parking near the cafe children`s play area next to cafe,if you need to park your car, use the sub way next to railway station

Popped in here the other day and delighted to find a café that doesn't charge exorbitant prices for gluten free cakes. They looked and tasted home made and were delicious. Staff friendly and café has fantastic views across the bay. Would certainly return if we are near this area again.

The cafe does a good selection of light meals and I always have the all day breakfast. reasonable prices, friendly staff and great views across the Beach to Llandudno and Anglesey

We spend a lot of time hammering along the North wales coast to visit family and Anglesey and this bit, between the two tunnels going east (or back to England) is somewhere that we totally overlook and have never stopped in. However we had a "I'm going to be sick any minute" incident and ended up coming off the main road at the first turning after rounding the headland into Penmaenmawr bay. We ended up on the beach car park, went for a walk and stumbled across this café. So we ended up here completely accidentally! It's a weird concrete world below the A55 built to replace the towns promenade that had to go to allow the road to be built and I felt rather guilty that Penmaenmaw, had had to suffer so brutally just to make my journey quicker. However given that it was very cold and "bracing" on the seafront, the café was a Godsend and delivered exactly the right kind of chips-with-everything, no-nonsense feel-good food at a reasonable price that the weather and the location demanded. We all enjoyed both it and the location and I suspect our accidental find may become something of a regular stop off now - especially as there was a playground next door and the sea is literally a stones throw away - certainly it was a bit more exciting than the usual Burger chains that the kids clamour for
