Rest Bay Café Bar in Bridgend

So weak, could hardly tell it was coffee. Said “Can only do other milks in americano because the machine doesn’t do other cappuccino”. Really? It’s not difficult to offer cappuccino with alternative milks. Sadly, I’d driven off in the rain otherwise I’d have taken it back as undrinkable hot water with froth on top.

Think the earlier reviews must have been some teething problems. We went for lunch and drinks, and it was very impressive. It’s a contemporary style building with elevated views across the bay. There is a modern lift if you can’t use the stairs. You choose your own table (numbered), and order at the counter. It was well run with plenty of friendly staff, and the service was prompt. Food lovely, and a fully stocked bar to choose from. Underneath there are surf lessons, a small shop and an ice cream / coffee / snack counter. Prices were reasonable - sorry about the shine on the photo, but hopefully you can work out the menu and prices if you are interested.

We arrived to a very chaotic cafe. We tried to order lunch but were told we had to wait to order. They then took our order, which never arrived. Checked 3 times with staff. Watched others who arrived after get their meal. Waited for an hour. no food

Amazing location with stunning views... BUT, they need better trained staff and very expensive. Absolutely disappointed. 😫
