Surfside Cafe in Swansea

Surfside is our favorite hang out place. We go there most days for coffee and their delicious tea cake and egg buns. I always take friends when they visit from America!! The staff are beyond lovely and the owners are wonderful. Don’t miss this place!!

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!

It is located in a place where one can sit and have a cup of coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. The coffee I had was refreshing and the service was good.

I ordered 2 Ham sandwiches and a regular coffee. Firstly the coffee though tasty was very small, just off being an Espresso. The ham sandwiches were just ham in white bread. The butter didn't cover the bread and the filling was 1/3 fat. No garnish, no finesse just plain and at a cost of £14.10 I would have hoped for better. Though I brought these points to the manager, I got a sorry. Only card purchases no cash, I asked what would happen if the card service stopped work, I was told they would shut until it was fixed, no one can count without technology these days. The only thing pleasant besides a nice tasting coffee (though small NOT regular sorry) was the sea view. I have been a chef for many years and was very unimpressed. I won't go there again. My advice, take your own food.

Nice place but way too expensive for the food. Basic toasted sandwiches are over a tenner!! Menu limited too. Just felt like a bit of a rip off.

The women working at the Caswell Bay Surfside cafe are unfriendly to the point of being rude. The fare is overpriced at £2:80 for a weak Americano. The provision for vegetarians/vegans is limited. The only thing going for this place is the fantastic view over the bay. This place could be amazing but instead the unpleasant staff and gastro prices for a greasy spoon menu make this a place best avoided.

This place was perfect for a tasty lunch on a breezy beach day. Great panini and all day breakfast choices, freshly prepared, nice touches with side salad, very friendly and efficient service. Lovely sea views from inside and out. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Burger´s, Chips and Salat and a lovely view. We had a tasty big Dinner there! Thank you very much!

This is a lovely spot especially to drink coffee, take breakfast and look out on the world. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is delightful.

Lovely staff. Best skinny cappuccino I've had in a long time. Had a delicious ice cream too! Will definitely be back 👍

Incredible steak and egg cheese burger, to compliment an exception view of the coast line. Really lovely afternoon.

Nice atmosphere and great location with stunning views. Service was good but I'm afraid the food was only average. Ice creams lovely though. Dog friendly.

Excellent service, good selection of quality snacks. Lovely and warm on a cold Spring day thanks to the log fire. Would definitely recommend.

And a mug of tea - its the ideal beach side snack venue - full of locals - of course! A real institution....

Really great location and not bad coffee and hot chocolate staff very friendly and also great that you can sit with the dog.

We visited this cafe as it’s easy to take the dogs so great it is dog friendly and the bacon rolls are delicious but the size of the coffees are very small to get a good cup you have to go for large and pay more which is really mean as they cost enough and to be honest it’s like dishwater it’s a shame as they are in a great location and dog friendly.

Nice location and very nice hot chocolates ( despite being very overpriced ), unfortunately we won't be going back due to the rudeness of the young male waiter/server.

We were looking forward to breakfast here having read good reviews on trip advisor. Unfortunately the food was very average - poorly cooked bacon and eggs with miserly portions for the money. A flipped egg so badly maimed, it was virtually non existent. Cooked tomatoes were cold. Cutlery was not clean. Toast ordered with marmalade was served without marmalade ....I had to get up and ask for it and so the toast was then cold ...And when I got back to the table I realized she’d given me honey instead of marmalade. I had ordered extra hot coffees which took ages and the entrance was very congested so I sat down to get out of the way and waited. I went up a number of times to see if they were ready and they were not. Eventually I asked and was grumpily told they’d been made ages ago and “if you’d just stayed and waited” then I’d have realized. I explained that I HAD waited, had also been twice to see if they were ready etc... the young guy making the coffees decided to stand there and argue the toss with me in front of other customers, which is not only bad for business but the height of bad manners. If I want to be served poorly cooked cold bacon and eggs by teenagers with bad attitudes, then I can stay home! I suggest this cafe employs some more experienced staff to supervise the kids. I give it two stars because at least it’s a pretty location.

Delightful little cafe serving delicious food with welcoming and efficient staff. Bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwich was delicious.

Lovely cafe on the Welsh coastal footpath. Had a great coffee and the bacon and Brie panini to die for. . Sit outside and take in the sea air.

Excellent coffee and fabulous location on the beach with views of Langland Bay. Nice cake too. Friendly, efficient service.

I ordered a mug of tea and a toasted teacake. I specifically requested that the tea and the teacake come together. Drinks are collected separately at the counter, so when my tea order was called I picked it up thinking my tea cake would follow shortly. It took another fifteen minutes. I started sipping my tea after a few minutes, still hoping tea cake would appear soon. Obviously my choice was to continue drinking or let it go cold. When teacake finally appeared I complained to the waiter. He asked me what I wanted him to do and I said, "Bring me a fresh mug of tea, please." He said that I would have to pay for it. I asked to speak to the manager and was told that because I hadn't sent the tea back immediately, I would have to pay for a new one. I repeated that I had thought the teacake was on its way, given the specific request I had made to have the two together. This kind of meanness creates a very poor impression - how much would a teabag have cost them in order to have a satisfied customer? The location is great but the service is desultory and the Surfside monopoly of the beach cafes in this area is making them complacent.

£5.20 for the best bacon sandwich on the planet is punchy but if it was homemade bread , great bacon you’d except it. To have 2 thin slices of rubbish bread filled with a bit of dry bacon is laughable and they should be ashamed! Have some pride in your products and what you are doing if you’re gonna charge those prices and don’t extract the urine out of people even if it’s a great location. Very poor!

Another great week in Langland Bay, and several move visits to Surfside Cafe, were we always feel welcome, great service, relaxed atmosphere, and great coffee and cakes, and a very dog friendly cafe, with polite, helpful staff, can’t wait to come back.

El jugo de naranja en botella estuvo bien pero me pareció muy caro. El café también pero nada del otro mundo, el servicio ahí nomas . Bueno porque está ahí y puedes comprar cosas pero si puedes llevar tus bebidas lo recomendaría .

Location is amazing......food coffee and prices decidedly sub standard......cappuccino? half a cup of froth !......could easily do better....maybe complacent due to location???

The place is ok for families with small children as the decor is casual. Good view. However, I paid £5.20 for a bacon sandwich. As this was advertised in bloomer bread, I assumed it would be thick, hand cut bread. Nope. Just really thin bread with an average amount of bacon. Photo below. Wouldn’t return purely because of pricing. This is a shame as we are local and could be repeat customers had the experience been better.

After a walk we had a much need lunch here. Very pleasant views and outdoor seating. Lunch was good but the portions were enormous - one between the two of us next time.

A lovely view for breakfast.... the food was average, but tasty. Just standard butties etc. It’s a nice place though, and would go back because of the setting

We were in Swansea for the first time over the weekend as my wife was doing a tandem skydive for the Downs Syndrome Association. Saturday was busy so we were looking at having a beach walk on Sunday morning before we had to head home. So we looked at Tripadvisor and seen the recommendation for the surf side cafe and we decided to try it. We had a beautiful coastal walk early in the morning and then returned to the cafe for a spot of breakfast. Great service and beautiful fresh food. Would highly recommend anyone to go here, especially if the weather is good.

Costly food. Cash only. Disinterested staff.

Nice cosy cafe with fab views of bay and log burner. Menu good for snacks such as breakfast rolls, burgers, few cakes. Some vegetarian meals but they did agree to make up a vegan ciabatta on request . Ok for cafe to look out over bay and take your dog . Staff were pleasant enough but lacking in customer rapport.

Food is cooked to order, and fresh, and tasty. It just needs to be cheaper. The decor of beach side cafe does not warrant the prices being charged. They probably feel that people have no choice since there is nothing else around. This is true,...

Beautiful position on beach. Nice bacon butties. Lovely to sit outside overlooking Langland Beach. Popular with dog owners.

Annoyingly it’s cash or nothing here which means more often than not I end up in Langland Brasserie although I prefer surf sides atmosphere. The bacon bap is really good and the fat trimmed off on request. I know that it’s pricey as described in...

We were on holiday this past week in Caswell bay. On our first day we went into this cafe but I walked out when I saw the prices. £7.00 for a burger, similar prices for toasties. During the week I bought 2 herbal teas on...

A nice little café. Two morning visits recently. We sat outside in the sunshine about 9am having bacon rolls with brown sauce and cappuccinos on the terrace outside in the sunshine, it was lovely. I had to whack one or two wasps though. Such a lovely place to sit in the sunshine watching the surfers also. Nice pleasant staff. Its noisy inside though when everyone is excitably talking. We sat outside anyway. I love it here.

Hemos estado aquí unas cuantas veces y a menudo los otros Cafe surfside en Caswell está muy concurrido y sucio, así que no esperaba mucho, pero en realidad fue muy agradable aquí y la sandwichera tenía era precioso. El personal era muy amable. Además de...

Café y personal amable. Ofrece asientos tanto en el interior como al aire libre. Un ambiente relajante junto al mar.

Realmente este lugar. Genial en verano y acogedor en invierno, buena comida y bebidas. Si podían conseguir licencia alcohol estoy seguro que haría un asesinato - copa de vino o cerveza fría con vistas a la bahía langland sábado sería una ganadora. Cierra demasiado temprano en mi opinión.

Felt ripped off after eating here! Only accept cash, but not signs telling you so - I just clocked before we ordered that there was no visible card machine and asked, so we had to scrounge together cash as there was no cash machine. We were obviously frustrated by this and there was no apology from the staff. The food came in a reasonable time, but it was disappointing to say the least. After paying £7 for a pretty sad panini, the only thing going for it was the size. Very sad side salad - wilted lettuce with some soggy couscous and a few pieces of cucumber. To top it off, the staff were all very despondent and quite rude - I asked for some water, and none of the three people behind the till even turned round, one was too busy telling her friend about her recent holiday. Cutlery and napkins are by the till, but nobody told us this while we were inside paying, so when our food arrived we didn't have anything to eat with and had to go back in. Not the biggest inconvenience in itself - it was more the lack of communication from staff that was frustrating. None of the staff seemed to care at all that we were paying customers and we were rather glad to take the rest of our money elsewhere for coffees and ice creams afterwards. Not impressed at all.

You cannot vist the Gower and not treat yourself to a Breakfast here. Good food, friendly staff and a view to die for.(not literaly)

£7 for a toastie !!! - Surfside, you are taking the p*** !Well, the summer has arrived. The prices on the menu have been upped significantly to farcical levels.Over the years, we have been regular visitors. I cannot believe that the owners can seek to justify the ridiculous prices especially with the very basic fare on offer. The kitchen is staffed by teenagers who, whilst eager to please cannot cope.As locals, we can and will avoid in future. As for the day trippers and holidaymakers - you are being massively ripped off !Top tip - take your own food and drink and sit at the outside tables enjoying the beautiful location.

It's 2017 and they only take cash! Despite decent mobile signal and wifi available. Was hoping to have a family meal for 6 of us but instead were limited to buying chips next door instead of spending £60+ as planned. Nice location, venue is in need of a bit of investment and updating - in the queue the people in front of us and behind all spent less due to cash only.

Stopped off here for a lunchtime snack and was impressed. Outward appearances can be very deceptive. The food was good quality and well presented. The cheese and tomato toasty came on slices of toasted bloomer and the cheese had been grated and mixed with milk so that it was delicious and oozed from the sandwich. There was an accompanying side salad. The toasted ciabatta with soft cheese and dipping oil with balsamic vinegar was sublime.

Views are amazing x we went into 2 surf side cafe with a log burner , dog friendly , menu - amazing choices & value for money x most things available x vegetarian choices are brill x worth a stop by x

Worth a visit, right on beach, reasonable food , good choice. Dog friendly A perfect location on a sunny day when you can sit on terrace

This is a warm, cosy and friendly Café. We went here twice in our week in Mumbles, there is a wood burner making the place feel really cosy and warm. The views across the bay are stunning and the food is excellent. The best bacon rolls of the holiday! Dog friendly and child friendly. Definitely a place not to be missed. We will return.

Really lovely breakfast on a blustery day. Great views. Right on the beach. Cosy on a cold day with wood burner inside.Bacon was really good. Vegetarian options too. Great hot chocolate and good baked goods.

Lovely little cafe with beautiful view over the beach especialy at sunset in the winter. Nice touch of fleece blankets to wrap yourself up in as required( if sitting outside). Very dog friendly in and out. Not bistro style place but for good old English seaside caf it was brilliant.

Everytime i visit my home town I just love popping into this beachside cafe on the langland /rotherslade beach. Beautiful location, fab bacon sandwich and good coffee open all year round . Rain or shine you will not be disappointed.

We were staying in a rental with a view atop Langland’s bay. A couple of mornings we walked the half mile down a steep path to go across the shore to this popular cafe. Women with well-mannered dogs frequented the place. Newspaper reading was popular at breakfast time. We ordered simple morning fare—bagels or muffins—always fresh. It is strictly self-serve, but the workers are smiling and helpful. Recommended, especially with the bay-side location on the beach. As an earlier reviewer reported: It's Langland’s little slice of heaven. Good for breakfast & lunch, always fresh food.

This is a real find. The title says it all. Great location, superb views, nice food, friendly staff - and dogs welcome. Great relaxed feel about this place, in keeping with the superb views.

Perhaps this very good cafe looks a bit unprepossessing from the outside but don't be fooled: the steady flow of surfers, locals, dog walkers, families and visitors coming in for breakfast or a coffee will tell you that this is a really good place. We had breakfast: there's a good selection of toasted bagels, cooked breakfasts and toasties. The coffee was also very good. A hardworking and friendly young staff keep on top of the continual stream of orders with minimal fuss - it has a buzz and you can enjoy a view over Caswell Beach as you have your meal. Recommended.

We were quite a large party of 9 plus dogs (welcome inside and out) and were very impressed with our lunch considering they have a small kitchen to work with. They rustled up some tasty toasties, paninis, burgers and freshly made soup. All delicious and good portions too. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Best bacon sandwiches in Swansea! Ideally situated overlooking the sea, this cafe is open all day for coffee, snacks and meals. I particularly like it in the winter when there is a log fire and the lovely smell of a combination of bacon, coffee and damp dogs! Newspapers supplied for browsing after a walk on the beach and always a friendly buzz about the place.

This cafe is perfectly located very close to the beach with fine views. The girl serving gave no welcome or greeting and was surly throughout. The young man cooking was much more personable. We had have a whip round our small group to get enough cash to pay as cards are not accepted. Dogs are allowed - ours is small quiet and unobtrusive, others were not. The menu choice is good. The food and drinks arrived quickly. Food was average at best . Prices are high but I think we were paying for the location.

Great cafe food - love the fact that everything seems piled with lovely fresh salad and dressing. The burgers are home made and griddled to perfection. Great coffee - views to die for. My parents who are still lucky enough to be local spend a fortune there!!

Only had coffee but very relaxing Enjoyed the view and the coffee The location is stunning and shall return soon

Super little restaurant, lovely menu. Had fresh warm bread and oil/balsamic dip. Nice selection of teas.Good service.

Great selection of cafe staples - salads, sandwiches, paninis and breakfast items - check out the bacon sandwich. The food was excellent, especially the salad.The staff were pleasant and friendly.The location is great, right on the beach, so it's tempting to sit there for hours...which might explain why it's so popular. If there's no space on the balcony, you can get a takeaway and sit on the beach (plenty of room at low tide!), or on one of the myriad benches along the prom.There's a similar cafe at Rotherslade (nearer Mumbles) and at Caswell (further west), so you could do a Surfside cafe crawl if you were so inclined. Many worse ways of spending the day...

This is a lovely café to sit outside watching the world go by, or inside where it is much cosier, and you can take your dog! Very popular at weekends and a brilliant place to have a break at the beach ! We love it .

I love sitting out on the balcony with a mug of tea and one of their delicious cakes. The choice of home-made food is much wider than before. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

I had already eaten lunch by the time i got here but the menu looked interesting, I just had a cup of tea. It was the location that was so great about this place though, situated on the end corner of the terrace overlooking the bay it has two glass walls affording fabulous views from wherever you sit, they also have tables outside, if one side is windy the other is sheltered. There are clean public toilets in the public car park, so this cafe combines to make this bay an ideal place to spend the day.

The cafe looks quite small from the outside, but there are plenty of seats inside and a very extensive menu, given it is a beach cafe. Dogs are welcome which is definitely a positive for many. I personally don't own a dog but I didn't mind dogs being in the cafe.I had a lovely cheese and pineapple toastie which was delicious. It was good value for money at £6.40 and came with a side salad and cous cous. I would definitely recommend this cafe.But remember to bring cash as it doesn't take card!!!

This little cafe sits off of Rotherslade which only appears when the tide is out. There is no debit payment here just to give some warning but there is a beautiful coffee and view.

Great little cafe, warm and cosy in the winter. Excellent food and coffee. What more could you ask for. Oh the view is to die for!

Surfside, Langland serves great bacon rolls made all the more enjoyable by the fabulous views. There are 3 surfsides, in Langland, Rotherslade and Caswell bays, but for me, Langland has the edge.Not the cheapest food but well worth visiting and relaxing there.

Great location. Amazing views. Friendly staff. Good menu. Only takes cash! Limited to what we could order due to lack of cash. Such a shame. Would have loved to have spent longer here. Far more sincere than other beach side Cafés I have visited, but needs to get a PDQ, PDQ. Possibly our mistake for assuming card acceptance, tiny sign on counter informing you on order. After you have spent time in a queue. C'mon guys. Invest your licence to print money into modernising your payment methods. I can understand that the locals may enjoy this, but not great for first time visitors or tourists. We will be back, due to the draw of location, but not without visiting a cash machine first. Wishing you a great season. Ian.

Have visited here before (caswell bay cafe) and don't remember dogs being allowed in then, off putting when one started to bark all the time when we were trying to relax ! We didn't like this aspect but food was good if a bit overpriced. A toastie and burger were both generous portions and served with a decent salad and couscous rather than chips for some reason. Wonder why this is as we would have preferred chips ? The decaffeinated cappuccino was delicious but I was quite shocked when the coffee came out- as a 'large', it was pretty small and quite expensive for the size.

Great atmosphere wood burner when cold we wanted to eat but had limited cash so just had hot chocolate drinks. A great pity we were hungry but for some reason this popular Cafe does not accept credit or Debit card payments a serious failing these days as people don't always carry that much cash. Our food & drinks would have added up to well over £20 so they lost out on our custom. Come on folks get into the 21st Century!

Great bolt hole from the wind & rain, lovely hot chocolate & great burgers. Staff were very friendly.

Came in here for a quick sit down coffee break and a warm up yesterday. Staff seemed lovely and so did the place itself. Brilliant views even though it was stormy as hell! Funny watching people attempt to walk onto the beach whilst the wind had other ideas for them! Coffees are made perfectly. Only problem is the fact dogs can go in. Which I have a dog myself so I understand completely that it's fine, but it's the fact that your trying to relax and take in the view.. when all you can smell is wet dog.

This cafe is really on the edge of the sea and has suffered in storms but this is a nicely located business. The food is pleasant and the coffee good. The service is friendly and efficient.

Just to prevent confusion there are 2 surf side cafe's both run by the same people, one in Langland and the other in Caswell. Although I have been to the Langland surf side and enjoyed the experience this review is based on my favourite, the Caswell Surf Side. Positioned at the far end of the little row of shops at the top of Caswell Beach is the Surf Side. It's position is superb with uninterupted views across the bay and out to sea. There is also a pleasant seating area outside. It's not a large place but this adds to the cosy feel where you can enjoy a real log burner whilst you indulge in one of their lovely coffees and a delicious breakfast ciabata. The staff are polite and very friendly and the service is prompt considering how popular this place is. They serve a good range of cakes, rolls and hot and cold drinks plus a good selection of ice creams. It is a little on the pricey side but I think it's worth it for the quality and location. Its just a great place to sit and chill out and enjoy.

Seriously what can be better than sitting here having a cuppa with the beach a footstep away. I come here all the time, the service is always fab, everyone is smiley. The fact that you can take your dogs here is amazing - always water available for them too. Slowly working my way through the breakfast menu which has all been lush so far. Bacon brie panini my fave! My friend from London is very jealous that this is on our doorstep! Keep doing a fab job :)

Well deserved bacon rolls after a Limeslade to Caswell Coast path walk. Always plenty of bacon - just yum.The ciabatta with bacon, egg and tomato is well worth a try.The view at Langland, Rotherslade and Caswell are always amazing.

Have visited the Surfside several times, in warm weather and in colder climes. The setting is perfect, Langland is one of my favourite beaches. The staff are very welcoming, and service is good. Perfect menu for snacks and drinks, inside the cafe is very welcoming, with a log fire in the winter. Outside seating on a balcony is great, with a box of blankets for customer use, for colder days. The cafe is also dog friendly, a real bonus, after a brisk run along the beach.

Sitting in the window of Surfside Caswell, or on the balcony (sometimes with a blanket from the box) , there is so much to watch and entertain.In summer sandcastle and canal systems being constructed, in Autumn/winter dogs chasing balls , horses galloping in the surf and at all times, surfers, canoeists, yachts and fishing boats .in the cafe there are newspapers to read and all this for the price of a very pleasant coffee. Add a cake or panini, burger or breakfast and the price will rise, but it's worth it.

We swam in Langland bay in early September, the beach was deserted apart from a handful of stalwart surfboarders, the water was - of course - freezing, but to emerge from the water, dress, climb the stairs and be greeted by a smiling, friendly young girl behind the counter of this lovely, sadly empty seaside cafe, whose response to our request for a simple portion of chips was a cheery 'No Problem'.A few minutes later we were presented with a very full, very hot container of the freshest, finest looking hand-cooked chips we had ever experienced, topped off with unlimited help-yourself condiments and sauces of the finest brands.Taking our bench seat outside to enjoy the view over our swimming area while the tide came racing in to cover our sand-writings, we loved those chips with every mouthful, wishing we weren't booked to go out for dinner so that we could have experienced other items from their menu !This café will definitely be on our long list of great places to re-visit on our next return to the Gower ....

Little pricey for a small cafe as we only had 2 bacon rolls and a sandwich which cost just over £11. Not to mention no card machine so my fiancé had to run back to the car to scramble some more cash together. How embarassing!

I don't know if the two cafes are owned by the same person but the differences are to the extreme. I live on the Bay and have visited this cafe three times in the last year. I was surprised at the rude staff and dingy cafe. This is cafe the main part of the bay. I thought of this being a one off but have gone there twice since only to have the same kind of snotty attitude and poor customer service by the employees. The cafe is on the beach and a great location but if you want a better service and a cleaner cafe thats also on the beach walk on the other side of the way Its a 2 minute walk and there is an exact cafe where the staff have always been friendly and the place is clean. I've never had a bad experience at the other cafe and can't believe they might be managed, let alone owned by the same person.

We love this beach cafe. The location is amazing, as is the coffee, especially the flat white! Food and service is very good. I always recommend this place to friends. Very popular with dog owners, but should they really be allowed inside the cafe? Despite being kept on leads, it isn't hygienic and today it was packed with dogs and there was a very strong doggy smell in there. Dogs should be allowed in the outside area only, in the fresh air!

Stopped off her several times coffee etc. lunch always helpful service and polite. Good food. Great coffee. A must to visit when walking in Langland whatever the weather

We went for a family breakfast at the Caswell Surfside cafe and as soon as we walked in sensed the place wasn't as clean as it could be. There were four other customers but three tables which, for the time we were there, remained dirty and covered in cups. We had to remove the ones from the table we wanted to use. Our breakfasts were average but very overpriced (£30 for two adults, two childrens small breakfasts with drinks). I can't imagine this place gets much repeat business at those prices. While the coffee tasted good, I prefer mine hot, not luke warm, as it was served. Also, perhaps teach staff to anticipate customer's needs. Our breakfasts were delivered we had to hold them to rearrange the (small) table to make room for them and our drinks, and when we asked where knives and forks were, we were told to get them ourselves, even though we, and our children, were each holding a plate in our hands! This could be such a gem given its location but it all feels a bit complacent and I would come again but not at the prices currently charged and not while it feels a bit grubby and unloved.

Top, top food for a beachside cafe. Really nice, healthy sandwiches, paninis, salads etc. Slightly pricier than elsewhere - but then it's very isolated with the only alternatives hot dogs and chips. The portions were very generous too. And it's right on the beach. Well worth it - but they don't take credit cards, so bring cash!

This cafe is perfect all year round, ice cream, bacon rolls, burgers, all amazing. (Cash only!) Outdoor seating for summer, log fire for winter!!!

This is a great place if you want an inspirational lunch... their sandwiches are yummy, the bread is not too thick, so not too many carbs. I love the fact they don't cover half the plate in crisps - which I only eat, if I'm given. I feel very fit & healthy, and inspired.... sitting amongst the surfers, padldle-boarders, canoists, wild swimmers.... coffee to die for too!

Went for an early lunch. Was presented with acold cheese and chutney cabiatta thing ! Contained , pre grated cheese, was over chutney'd which made it inedible and the "no salad "comment on the menu ... Not even garnish!! ...meant a pale slab of food came. Really felt like no effort had been made with presentation . It was not nice. Extremely expensive for what arrived. Not staffs Fault. Feel like the owners think..."great location, capitve audience . so we can charge what we like. " I am local, believe in supporting Local business but this just makes me sad. :(

Review for Café on Caswell Bay.We visited as we were near to Caswell Bay in wanting lunch. Although a beach side Café the food is a bit pricier than normal beach hut type food but then the menu is better and so is the food.We had a vegetarian burger and a cheese and chilli burger. Both very large and we'll cooked and the side salad had nice dressing. They don't sell chips but had no objections to us buying them in adjacent Café and bringing them in to eat with our burger.Good service, great food, nice walks outside to walk off any excesses and fantastic views.

This cafe has inside and outside tables with amazing views and a chilled out friendly atmosphere. We had a family lunch here with people ranging from 7 months to their 60s and everyone was happy. The menu is expensive - £6.10 for a pannini or toastie so I wouldn't be going too often. A nice place all the same and tasty food.

Great little paradise in a Sunday morning watching the waves break on Caswell Bay winter spring summer or well you know. Just a great place to chill. Coffee paper or a burger and the cakes aren't half bad either

Best food . Great service .Amazing sea views .Watching the surf! very friendly staff. always going when we need to chill out.

What an amazing place - the sun had its hat on & so did we - the staff were so jolly and friendly - had good banter while the kids decided which flavour icecream to have. The Blackcurrant & Cream Icecream was my favourite, could get addicted to it. Their expresso is sooooooo smooth. Kids loved the organic milkshakes. I loved the ginger beer. Very Enid Blyton. I felt liked I'd stepped back in time, it was surreal. This place is literally a beach hut right on the beach. Next timeI need to unwind, this is the first place I'm heading for.

I love their coffee. I cant stop at one. I went here every day on my holiday. Sometimes for coffee, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for afternoon tea. I love the "lower deck", where the tables are level with the beach. Sometimes the tide was high, the sky clear and the sea calm, so peaceful. Sometimes the surf was huge and the surfers are great to watch. Sometimes I sat & painted the pebbles.

Visited this wonderful cafe again! I have to say we were not disappointed once again! Went to meet friends with their children for a coffee and cake, We were very quickly greeted by smiley staff. The menu has a lot to offer from breakfasts to burgers. They have a very large cake cabinet full of sweet treats. I decided to try their new portuese custard tarts, it certainly didn't disappoint and only at £1.80. The cappuccino was amazing. We will be returning again soon!

Friends still down from bath. Boiling hot day down Langland, spent the morning having coffee and bacon rolls at surfside cafe, best ever. Decided to go back for lunch after a short walk, couldn't resist! Lovely staff, happy days!

My boyfriend and I were both in really high spirits, until we visited here. Ridiculously overpriced food. Ordered 2 bacon and egg rolls with ketchup, 2 cokes and a pice of carrot cake. it came to £15. They had no rolls or ketchup so just offered us a sandwich instead. We asked if we could have some of the tomatoes advertised on the menu to make up for the lack of ketchup. The miserable waitress rolled her eyes and said ok. There isn't enough space here to write all the issues we had with the food when it arrived after 20 minutes. Lets just say the experience was awful and wouldn't visit again if someone paid me!

Today my family and I went to Surfside Cafe to get some coffees and snacks. The place was relatively busy and we walked in and settled down on a table. After looking at the menu and even going up to look at ice creams we decided to order. Once we got to the bar one of the members of staff (a girl probably around 18 - looked very disinterested) told us the till was closed so she couldn't do anything for us. This wasn't said in a polite tone and there were clearly more people continuing to walk in at sit down at tables. It seems ridiculous that none of the four members of staff (all very young) were able to inform anyone upon entering that the cafe was actually now closed. The staff were not at all apologetic and seemed to completely ignore customers and the situation around them. We have been to the cafe before for lunch and the food is very average for the above average prices. I feel the only justification for their prices is the lovely location, other than this the cafe does not have much to offer. The staff really need to improve their attitude and the standard of food is below average. It is a shame considering what a unique location it is in.
