Called in for a snack after driving down from the Midlands. I was not disappointed. Had the brie and cranberry panini which was great accompanied by a tasty salad and coffee. Service was pleasant and would remind highly

We visited this beautiful café during our family holiday to Langland bay this summer. We love the coffee, whilst the Bacon Sandwiches and Burgers are delicious and offer a hearty portion size, perfect for the family during an exhausting day on the beach! The ice creams and cakes are delicious, the kids loved them! The setting is absolutely perfect, whether you’re sitting outside enjoying the sunshine and taking in the breathtaking views or snuggled inside sheltering from the inevitable Welsh weather! Staff are super polite and helpful. Highly recommended, both as a drop in or as a destination on a long coastal walk.

Excellent position over looking the beach. The food we ordered was ok and the coffee was very good. The only issue with this place is the high pricing of some standard items (e.g. cheese toastie) being so expensive.

Basic food and expensive. Unfortunately if sitting outside there is a bad smell from the dog poo bin. The toilets are in a grim state and smell really bad inside. Rotherslade Bay is lovely though with good waves.

Have been to this Cafe many times, but would certainly think about going back. Restaurant prices, £6.90 for a cheese and tomato bagel! Would have expected a lettuce leaf and a tomato but that was it!

Popped in for breakfast as we were staying close by. The cafe is in an ideal spot by the beach however I think the prices are rather high (especially if you have a family). We ordered 2 bacon baps (£5 each) & coffee. Food & service was ok, can sit inside or outside, staff were ok.

Whilst visiting Langland Bay we decided to take coffee in this café, which is situated on the beach-top path just above, and on the west side, of the beach. Be wary of some of the photos posted here in this TA page, as they appear to have been taken at the Surfside Caswell Bay café. Inside is rather narrow and enclosed with not many windows, especially at the far end from the entrance. The pitched roof is opened-up which helps generate a feeling of spaciousness. There is not a lot of natural light though. Outside there is a raised patio area that projects out towards the beach providing tables and chairs for customers. The patio also extends around the back of the building where more tables and chairs are sited. Finally where the sloping access path to the restaurant joins the beach slipway there is a small gathering of tables and chairs for more customer accommodation. All of this extra outdoor seating substantially increases the capacity of the restaurant. The restaurant advertises its opening hours as: from 08:45, to after the last food orders at 16:30. All day breakfast is served, also toasted breads and buns, sandwiches, bagel melts, paninis, salads, toasties and burgers, plus hot and cold drinks, and ice cream from Marshfield Farm. Service was pleasant and prompt, and the food served appeared to be freshly prepared, and of good quality. We only enjoyed what was a good coffee. This café is well located for families enjoying a beach day, the pricing stated on the menu were not too expensive, but a snack meal here would cost a family of four at least £40. Ice creams for the kids would certainly increase that bill.

Stopped for lunch, gluten free options minimal and of course expensive. So I had the salad £10.50 some tuna mayo, red onions, lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. Underneath the mayo there was cheese, thought it was odd, but worst still realised it was couscous. Obviously this is durum wheat & not gluten free! £10.50 was a lot and even more, now I have to spend a few hours hoping I didn't eat any! I commented to a member of staff who shrugged! Not exactly the most helpful thing to do! Won't be going back and can't recommend. Poisoning people is not cool! If I was allergic, it would have been a very different situation! Please train your staff!

Ordered 2 lattes, bacon bap and teacake. Coffees were like warm and then had to wait over 30 minutes for food, which was literally incinerated and practically charcoal, definitely not edible. The worst thing was it was quite empty and the female teen workers spent more time chatting than working, ignoring customers. Wish I'd taken photos to show how poor it was

Lovely lovely location great views. I had cheese and brie bagel (about the cheapest) and cup of coffee. Bagel was nice, coffee not so bad a bitter taste, as if it had been left to long on the filter plate. For £3 it really was a bitter taste. Tables and seating could have done with a wipe down from the sand that had blown in and it couldn't have happened the day I was there as it was rain and there was no wind. Very very over priced guess we are really paying for the view

I don't often write reviews but felt I had to as I was left shocked at the price of a flat white £3.60. I had ordered two and the price was £7.20, I thought they had made a mistake. Total rip off. I love coffee and regularly visit many cafes and never have I paid that much. If it was a great coffee I may be more forgiving but it really isn't.

A great little cafe with a stunning view, tasty coffee which was very clean and tidy with friendly staff. However, was blown away by the cost of a panini which was just shy of £10! The sandwich we did have was very tasty, with lovely fresh bread and a decent amount of filling. A couple of crisps and a salad garnish wouldn't have gone a miss though!! :)

Another ludicrously priced place that’s out to empty your pockets knowing you’re unlikely to return, but don’t care because some else with fall into the same trap. £6.00 for a bacon sandwich, apparently made with “bloomer” bread. Sounds posh right? Look at the photos. Two pieces of cheap sliced white bread and two small pieces of bacon. £3.00 max!! A piece of toast with two small pieces of butter for our son - £2.50 please! For one slice of bread!!!!! SEE PHOTOS!!

We paid £9 for a salmon salad with old , wet, wilted salad leaves , no dressing, mushy old tomatoes. And £9 each fior 3 toasted sandwiches with the same old salad leaves. The most expensive and appalling lunch we’ve had here. Avoid this cafe and bring your own lunch.

We visited at lunch today, with another family. The view was lovely, which was a pleasant distraction as the queue was enormous. We paid £45 for two paninis, a toastie and a burger, with a drink each. Not a single member of our party finished even half of their plate. The paninis were underdone and the cheese, which appeared to be made entirely of plastic, was still unmelted even after we asked for them to be put in again. The burger apparently tasted of last week's grease. The salad on each plate was entirely lacking in imagination and looked like it was waiting to be put out of it's misery. The kitchen was well staffed, but entirely run by teenagers - possibly a clue why they managed to get something so simple, so very wrong. I'd have asked for my money back, but I couldn't face the queue again to do so. Very poor indeed - low quality ingredients, poorly executed, high prices with any pride in what was being served up long gone. Never again.

The terrace in front of the Café is part of the Clifftop Coastal Path. The terrace has benches and outdoor seating for the Café! Enjoy the Clifftop and sandy beach while holding a hot drink or having breakfast! From the terrace, you can go to the beach through very steep steps! Very surprisingly, they don't do any fish & chips at all! 😲 😔 😒! Toilets 🚻 ♿ 🚽 are available right next to the Café and open for public including the Customers at the Café!

The cost is a joke. So expensive and the food wasn't worth half the price. It was over priced and under staffed and bad quality. Would rather buy a supermarket sarnie and would have felt more nutritious. Can't understand how they can still have customers after what we experienced. Since getting a breakfast and then a lunch (which came to around £40) we decided to buy our own gas bbq portable cooker which cost almost the same amount as our meals combined that day. We can now take our own food and enjoy delishous warm cooked food.
