The Beach Cafe in The Vale of Glamorgan - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A lovely Saturday morning breakfast ,freshly cooked no fuss breakfast ,great selection of cakes . Really friendly staff ,great find on the beach . They only take cash .Will definitely pay a visit again.

Lovely little place, we were served by a friendly young fella and sat out with ice creams in the sun BUT a lady came out to deliver food and called an order number loudly but no one responded. Then two more women came out to deliver the food and started f’ing loudly about the last lady in front of our young children. BAD SHOW. As paying customers we don’t want to hear your grievances! Sounded a lot like bullying. No wonder staff are required.

Was looking for somewhere new, with a view, for coffee and this place came up. The reviews were awful to say the least. However...i was keen to go to the area and give it a try..and am glad we did. Not sure why the previous reviews were so bad but honestly we turned up on a Sunday ,mid day ish. Not expecting a lot. Parking was excellent, first tick after the narrow lanes to get to it. Staff were lovely..helpful and polite and no edge. Quite a big menu and as an unexpected bonus several vegan options! Sausage rolls and a selection of cakes too...lots of city center places offer less. The mains menu was varied and staff were happy for us to faff about and swap things (had an Autistic guest so it mattered). We sat in the garden area which was very big with a lot of seating but well spaced. we ordered at the counter and staff brought the foods out to us. In quick time too, This place doesn't profess to be anything other than a cafe....which is good as it is a very good cafe. Prices weren't bad and portions were big...no negatives for us. We are definitely going to go back....

Very disappointed with the size of my takeaway tea. It was half the size of my husbands coffee. I did question the young lad who served me and I was told it was the same size as a teacup would hold . Our drinks were delicious , piping hot but I ve never had such a small tea !

Just such a sad state of affairs. The most beautiful location it could be so much more .. it’s run down , old and dirty. Unfriendly staff , infact I witnessed a member of staff being extremely rude to the young lad that was working there . Food cold , and very expensive , they don’t take cards … also have you ever come across a sit in cafe or restaurant where they are serving £11 meals but charge extra for ketchup or brown sauce ? 🤣… good grief! Every cafe and restaurant I’ve ever been to have these kind of condiments on the table!! The whole place needs gutting , it could be wonderful in there but the owners clearly don’t care. Can’t even be bothered to install a card payment machine . Cash only!

This venue would massively benefit from accepting cards. Cash only is for burger sellers on Queen Street Please join the 21st century….as your bacon sandwiches are amazing…

Very good value cafe on the seafront. Lovely home made cakes. Very friendly welcome. Great views around the area. If the weather is nice it's great to sit on one of the tables by the stream which we did last time. Only takes cash which is unusual these days so come prepared. Some beach items for sale too.

We ordered the beef stew. it looks like a tin of dog food put on a plate, Luckily we sat outside because we had our dog, started to eat it, on looking at the meat, it was gristly, and we gave it to the dog It was the cheapest rubbish, and pulled a bit out for the dog and found it was Bits of intestines, I was physically sick, and went home straight away, just be careful looks like they buy the cheapest of everything

When ingredients come to less than £4 and your charged around £12.50 that's one thing, but when your given 1 sachet of vinegar and your charged 10p for a sache of red sauce that's taking the P.ss particularly when your served frozen chips. Additionally items that should be priced are not. The place was clean and the service reasonable. But two coffees, two chips and one pies in a beach cafe with 50s furniture at £12 50 is a ripp off. Another business on the band wagon of hiking prices

This place serves a lovely breakfast, great price 6.99 with a tea or coffee, the only thing that let's it down is the decor, it's so dated and has been the same for years. Paint it white and give it a surf /beach theme. That pink needs to go

Visited here after a lovely coastal walk. What a disappointment - Ordered 3 ice creams, 1 callipo and 1 black coffee. Originally the assistant got our order wrong but politely corrected this. I was gobsmacked when she said “£11.50”. Black coffee is a no brainier as is the callipo but the scoops of ice cream were very small and served in cheap cones! Total rip off …. And cash only - very user unfriendly. Needless to say this visit is our last

First vist to llantwit major. Wasn't going to eat there but saw vegan sausgae roll and chips on menu so thought we'd give it a go. Chips well cooked and tasty Vegan sos roll very tasty too. Only instant kenco coffee but at least it was strong. Staff young but friendly and competent. Planning on coming back to beach and will stop off at cafe again

Clean tidy and pleasant Cafe, because of Covid you order at the window and collect food from another window, food was ok for a light meal, on reflection wished we had eaten in one of the pubs at the top of the town, but great for a snack or refreshment.

Staff are very friendly. Food delicious and the cakes are the best in llantwit Major (a cyclists best friend!!) beautiful setting for a post bike ride 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️

Lovely welcome and setting on a sunny day. Fish and chips were gorgeous and good price too. We'll certainly be back 😁 ❤️

We visited this establishment on a sharp cold windy day , & that was exactly the 'welcome' we got from the young lad with black glasses & pony tail . Practising social distancing we politely waited our turn , Then asked ' Are dogs allowed inside please ? ' NO ! Came back the reply ( No apologies there ) I might add no visible signs any where outside advising of this to save asking . So I ordered one ( small ) coffee & slice of cake , The lad clearly didn't want to be there & had a permanent frown on his chops , I was shocked to get a few pence change out of £5 ! Returning to our car I noticed the coffee was barely luke warm & considering the price paid felt duty bound to return it for replacement. This took over five minutes whilst he ' Divered around ' doing other things ! A mumbled apologie was given as I was ' Requested to sit & wait ! Next we asked to use the loo - NO ! Came back the reply & upon asking why ' use the life station toilets over there ' ( pointing to rear of building ) * Incidentally in an awafull state * They may well be the only establishment on site & have a captive audience, But clearly have a lot to learn about customer service. NOT IMPRESSED !!!

Llantwit beach is lovely for tea or just taking the to the seaside, parking is great but there are a lot of surf types in their vans cluttering up the place smoking all types of herbs! That said the cafe is consistently good all year. Ignore the vans and bring the kids.

Food serious expensive best avoided. Don't ask for sauce they charge 20p per cachet for the cheepest sauce. This is with out doubt a best avoided. Beware.

A wonderful place to go with the sea and the rocks ideal place to take children.The cafe serves food to suit everyone lovely cakes icecream and hot drinks.It has everything you need for an afternoon out .

Was charged £2.60 for a spoonful of Nescafé instant coffee and a splash of milk and when I suggested it was expensive the response was ‘yeah’. After checking the menu I pointed out I had been overcharged as it should have been £1.60 - and then needed approval for my £1 refund. Also it is decorated like an 80’s toilet with bathroom tiles and pink walls.

Friendly staff, good food and they not only had dog ice cream, they also had vegan ice cream for me! Beautiful views all around.

Visited a couple of weeks ago , down in S.Wales for long weekend. Popped in for breakfast , full breakfast well cooked and good value for money. Would recommend

It was spitting with rain and we had walked up the beach and along then up behind the café as we needed the fresh sea air. In we came to the café and we had a flapjack and 2 absolutely wonderful hot milky coffees. We sat there under the picture of the Waverley in the year we had travelled to Ilfracombe on it and we watched the families set their children down with chocolate cakes and Sausage rolls while Mums made sure the wet clothes came off and dry ones on. No complaints from the children they just wanted to eat the cake. The young staff were courteous and pleased to help when asked Everything was clean and tidy and kept that ay as p the tables changed witht eh different people coming and going. One of the best places to sit and watch or just have coffee and a cake and move on Thank you

Lovely location and a friendly welcome from staff. Had breakfast, was very good value! Only criticism is saves of sauce, they are my pet hate anyway! Certainly would recommend for breakfast and the cakes look superb!

We were visiting the beach and decided to have a snack here, we were served simple soup with a roll and pie with chips, the food was average and edible. On leaving I wanted to buy a few cakes to take home, I stood by the counter and waited while the assistant ignored me and continued to gossip with a lady at the table next to me....I waited, she talked, I left without being served... not good for customer service, shame.

A cosy, cheap and old-fashioned cafe on the beach. We simply had egg and chips but it was excellent after a brisk walk!

Visited the beach and fancied a hot drink the lady inside was more interested in her phone than serving her customers finally ordered a cappuccino out of a tin the worst i had ever tasted would not return

We went for breakfast and it looked nothing like their photo on here. The food was very greasy and the coffee was watery ... the vinegar on the neighbouring table looked watered down

Never tried the food, not my kind of thing but the tea is amazing, a proper cup of tea! Perfect after a walk along the cliffs

Visited the cafe yesterday on a trip to the beach. Bought some fudge for my son & some rock for my daughter. The fudge smelt horrible when we opened the packet. My son took it back, staff refused to exchange. The rock my daughter had was soft. Can only assume they have been sat in the window all summer. V disappointing for my children! Poor customer service also.

Great breakfast. Couldn’t really fault it. Would definitely go there again the next time I’m in the area. 🥓🍳☕️😋👍

This place is so old fashioned that its fashionable! We only stopped for tea and cake so didn't get to try the food but its a lovely little cafe with stunning views. We'll definitely come back. Very friendly staff.

I love this cafe, great car parking, wonderful staff. I grew up around this cafe all my life and it's the place to go in summer and winter as it's always open and the food is great. There are tables out side for walkers and there dogs. Marie is the owner and is wonderful lady. Come to the beach cafe, loads do to see the view. DONT SIT UNDER THE CLIFFS. The staff will always help if you need help. Big thumbs up.

Was served by a tall man who wears these awful glasses he was creepy and rude and was more interested in staring at my young daughter. Think his names evan holloway STAY AWAY!

Everything from fridge magnets and flip flops to egg mayo sarnies or a full english. Summer staff are a bit lacking in English language skills but they get by. "Wholemeal" had to be explained - "brown" :-)

The best cup of tea I've had in a long time and impressive selection of cakes. Very welcome after walk along the cliff.

We visited Llantwit Beach on the recommendation of a local. We wanted to see some of the rock formations but we also wanted breakfast so it was a no brainer.

Had a lovely visit to the café last week with my family for a lunch! The food has defiantly improved since I last ate there and everything tasted fresh and homely. The corn beef pie, peas chips and gravy was gorgeous and my mum raved about the cook breakfast too.

Came for a beach walk and ended up having lunch at the cafe. All day breakfast at a fair price. Warm enough to sit outside but sat inside loads of room

Whats not to like? This little place is right on a fab beach with ample parking and seating space indoors and out. The Staff are always welcoming and the breakfast whilst not the cheapest around is pretty good. We often pop in after walking the dogs along the coast.

First time to Wales, my husband to be brought we the the beach. We have a great breakfast and coffee outside. The food is good, price is great and the staff were extra nice. I highly recommend this place and will be back most weekends when the weather is nice :)

This beach front cafe is a real nostalgia trip, for me at least. The owner Maria has lived or worked here on and off for 48 years, her parents owned the cafe and managed a static caravan site in the meadow that sits between the beach and the village of Llantwit Major. My family were lucky enough to own one of the caravans and we used to decamp from our Bristol home during school holidays in the 60s and 70s and spend idyllic breaks with fabulous friends and family.

Took my 2 grandkids, 3 and 6 year old, crabbing and rockpooling for the afternoon at Llantwit Major beach. They had a great time.

Fab cafe, great for disabled parking and the cafe is easily accessible with lots of room inside. We had a lovely mug of tea each and shared two bowls of cheesy chips. Something so simple but it's so lush, the staff are always friendly and there's loads of choices of food, from pies and pasties to lovely cakes. And the view is fantastic, well worth a visit

We only tried the ice cream here, but it was lovely! Our eldest son dropped his on to the floor outside as soon as he got it and they replaced it free of charge which was a really nice gesture.

The cafe is clean, the staff very helpful and polite. The food is very good if a little limited. The location is great

Vaya parando para una rápida taza de desayuno o un festín en el personal es amable y sonriente. Hemos hecho visitas dos veces este años antes de asistir a reuniones en el hospital Llandough. Disfrutaremos de una lat a lo largo de la costa rocosa...

Fuimos para el desayuno había decidido dejar en Llantwit Major para una mañana de paseo. Aspecto increíble y tartas aquí quizás deberíamos tener aquellos en su lugar. Pedí queso sobre tostadas, pero no estaba seguro de si había sido a la brasa o superficial.

This coffee could be so much better, depressing inside and out badly needs refurbishing, tea & coffee bad instant coffee and builders tea in a mug. No coffee machine, had a cake which was very dry, pie no meat in it not dog friendly. Cold be a lovely with a lovely setting, needs a good re vamp

Called into the cafe for a cup of tea and something to eat but just had tea did not fancy eating there, the place looks like it needs total refurbishment. Seriously not impressed and a sjame really as it's in a great location.

This is a beach cafe, so perhaps we should not have expected too much. However I don't like sachet Cappuccino, sorry. Had an ice cream too, that was ok. The people were lovely ,and to be fair, we didn't sample the hot food. But on the hottest day of the year so far, with loads of families with children there, the toilets were shut at 6pm, and the cafe at 6.20. Would never happen in France.

Has indoor as well as outdoor sitting/tables which on a sunny day are very nice. Food is okay but if you have children with you can be expensive. has a great variety of ice creams as well as drinks.

I hadad a lovely millionaire shortbread delivered to me by a lovely tall person with a great smile upon his face. I believe his name was either Scott or Evan, if I overheard the names correctly. 5 star service and quality shortbread. Would definitely recommend.

This was a good find on a day out to the beach with the dogs, the staff were friendly and the full english breakfast was ok. Very good portions and it was hot with a good cup of tea, just what you needed after a good morning walk.The cafe is situated right by the car park next to the pebbly beach but loads a good walks near by. Definitely visit again.

Great food to eat in or take away. Yummy pasties and a lovely cake selection! Hot and cold food and of course ICE CREAM!

Really nothing special, used to be so much better years ago but seems everything is over priced now and not as good quality.The front counter which usually has food in it also usually has ants and bugs in it to, every time! Definatly needs to be covered up expecially in summer.The cafe is perfect for a icecream or too grab a bottled drink but not for anything else to be honest. I suggest bringing a packed lunch and just grabbing some chips from the cafe if your there.

This cafe is open nearly every day of the year, rain or shine, and it's right at the head of the beach so the view is lovely. Great for fish and chips and ice cream for the sand castle and dog-walking crowd, and the cakes are lovely too. It's a bit pricey but you're paying for the location. However there's no proper coffee machine so it's a bit disappointing to have only instant 'Rombouts' coffee in this day and age of skinny lattes/cappuccinos etc. The interior is also a bit basic but when the weather is good that doesn't matter as you can sit outside and look at the sea. Dogs are welcome on a lead, outside. They also sell the usual beach accessories such as buckets and spades, and souvenirs of Llantwit Major. You can park in the nearby beach car park for free.

Wouldn't recommend this place, overpriced and poor quality food from the hot chocolate to the burnt toast was very disappointing.

Grab an ice cream here when you pop to the beach but much nicer meals are available in the town of Llantwit.

I thought the view of the luscious blue ocean was the main attraction, though that was nothing compared to the tall, charming man that I came to know as Evan Holloway. His particular eye to detail was highlighted by the flavoursome and expertly crafted cup of crisp coffee I received. Service with a smile, would certainly recommend.

We have been here a few times whilst walking the coastal path or visiting the beach. There is a good selection of drinks and food at a reasonable price. Good selection of cakes and biscuits too. You can sit inside or outside and there are public toilets nearby.

Passed lots of people nobly walking down from the village, but we saved our energy by parking in the slightly muddy but free beach car park and then enjoyed clambering around on the rocks and exploring the coast path... At the end of such activity there was a definite need for refreshment and the Beach Cafe called...and what better on a cold January day than a bowl of warming leek and potato soup or a chunky bacon sandwich. Can't speak for the sarnie [ but Mme attacked it enthusiastically] but that soup was excellent, (wish I'd asked for the recipe cos though I make it myself regularly, can't ever get it that tasty}. Bit plastic table-clothey, but has the potential to become a bit of a goldmine, if they serve this level of good food

Excellent for parking the car, let the dogs go and walk the shore line or cliffs. Safe swimming and surfing. Rocks pools for the young ones and a place to search for ammonites.

old style Beach Cafe nice winter vist for tea and cake and a warm up out of the wind The full breakfast looked good value as it came out to others

My son and I called in for lunch after a walk to Southerndown and back last Friday.My son had home made cornedbeef pie and chips that he said was good,I had chicken curry and chips and that was very good. Generous portions quick service and a 5 hygene rating what could be better.Thanks

We had an hour to kill so came here for a lovely breakfast. Cooked beautifully and very plentiful. Served with tea or coffee too. Very reasonable prices as well, just over a fiver each. They also do scrumptious homemade cakes. Beautiful setting next to the sea

Stopped off for a cuppa at this beachside cafe. Found an Assam and vanilla tea was available, which was lovely. Service good, sat outside on benches. Shame they aren't opposite beach but close to river.

Great menu and selection of savoury and sweet snacks, ice creams and drinks. Large outdoor seating area with excellent view.

Last of the the few old fashioned cafes that are still around on wales.Display fridge packed with pies, tartlets, quiches,cakes,biscuits,etc. Ordered leak and potato soup which was mainly potato based but was at least homemade and came with a soft white buttered roll.Good value for the inexpensive price.Would recommend for its uniqueness as well as its lovely, vertually on the each location.

this place has a little shop and cafe .food not cheap and really didnt fancy anything to eat here. sell cakes and pasties just didnt like the look of them .staff ok but dont over do the friendliness. things to buy in shop expensive too .

Good friendly staff, freshly cooked food and located pretty much on the beach! Ticks all the boxes for me. Poached eggs on toast got 10/10 from me :). We need more cafés like this.

Chips freshly cooked perfectly salted Cod excellent batter on grey side (perhaps oil needs changing) vinegar for those that want it all £4.95Ice cream £1.75 large single serve tried to up sell add flake no thanks vanilla lovely flavour clean beach loos and great day out1.5 miles walk each way from bus train station

It's worth making the effort to get to the beach down a single track road, and to find this lovely little cafe. It is fairly modest but does not suffer for that - in fact, that only adds to the enjoyment.It's as unspoiled as the beach, and a great place to stop for a coffee.The cafe menus looked good, but it was too early for us to sample the cooking after having had a full (very full) breakfast earlier at our hotel.The cove is totally unspoiled, as in addition to the cafe, there is only an RNLI building , which has toilets.As I have already said, well worth the effort to get there!

Visited in July, just missed the hottest day of the year...as it happened, it rained..we were paying a surprise visit to family. I have to say the walk down from Llantwit was lovely. The cafe is smashing, it's a bit 60s/70s in the nicest way. It's a typical seaside cafe. The menu is very good, and caters for all. We had a selection of meals, from cheeseburgers (excellent) to sausage, Chips and gravy. The strawberry milk shakes were excellent. Meal done, souvenirs to buy, plenty available, including the traditional seaside rock. If the weather is good, then there is plenty seats available outside. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. One point to note, there were a group of youngsters, obviously full of exuberance, having just gone on school holidays..they could easily have spoiled the experience for visiting holidaymakers, and seemed to go unchecked.?. All told, if you are visiting Llantwit, go and enjoy the cafe at the beach, the food is very good and the place is very clean, I doubt if you will be disappointed.

This is a fab, basic cafe, open dawn till dusk. If you have walked the dogs down the beach or you are on a coast path ramble it's a great place for a cuppa, an ice cream, chips or to buy a fishing net for the kids.You can sit out in the fresh air, and when I was there the tables were cleared promptly and efficiently (there's nothing more depressing than sitting surrounded by the detritus of the last 15 eaters,) so it was kept clean and tidy.The staff were attentive and friendly, well organised and polite.A fun place, good cakes, super staff.....loved it!

Had lunch and cuppas on Sun.Good service, food was Nice. Not bad priced.Tea was nice and strong. Well done

Went for a cappuccino at the beach cafe and was very disappointed. instead of a cappuccino machine you are given a powder coffee pretending to be a cappuccino which is more like cheap coffee with coffee mate seriously behind the times. save your money give to charity.

A normal unfussy cafe exactly where you want it after walking along the coastal path - mugs of tea, cakes, nothing fancy - friendly staff and water for dogs - if demand is heavy it stays open which is great -

This Caffe needs re furbishing, very depressing inside, outside could do with painting. The tea is made in a big metal teapot which is made and left on top of the urn to keep warm, then served in white builders mugs. It's the only caffe I know that doesn't have a coffee machine, the coffee is instant, if you want a latte they warm some milk in the mcrowave. We both had a cake which was very dry and seemed like it had been there for days. No shelter for dog walkers which is mad because most of the people down there are dog walkers.

Maria and the crew always make any visit to this cafe memorable. Whether popping in for a quick coffee or ice cream or a full breakfast or Sunday dinner...wonderful atmosphere and wonderful location.Great value

Called in with friends for a quick coffee, was pleasantly surprised, cheerful lady serving at counter, plentiful selection of cakes and savouries. Latte coffee was good and hot!

Well, this is a nice enough place that serves your typical Café food, Pie & Chips, Burgers etc, There is a nice selection of home made cakes. Other reviewers are quick to criticize however, 1, The coffee is instant but only costs £1.75 a cup not the Near £4 that coffee shops charge.2 There are many reviews saying that it is expensive, well I disagree. the pricing is though very inconsistent. a few examples:A portion of chips £2.20, a pie or Pasty £1.85 total £4.05 however if you order the Pie & chips main meal it will cost you more than £6 so they charge more than £2 for a few peas and a splash of gravy.A sandwich is £3.25 or £3.75 if you want it toasted, however a burger (with onions & ketchup) will cost you just £2.75, a dish of soup with a bread roll will cost you £3.75.So like I said, inconsistent, Cakes are between £1.50 and £1.95 which is a fraction of many Coffee shops.It is what it is a beach café, if you want bone china cups, saucers a doilies then go to a fine hotel and pay through the nose.If you want basic filling food then this is a good place, but study the menu to work out the best deals.They also sell beach toys and a limited selection of souvenirs.

After a muddy walk along the cliff top we were desperate for a hot drink and a light lunch.The generous amount of lean and crispy bacon in the brown bread sandwiches together with a plentiful supply of tea left us refreshed to carry on walking the coast path.The staff were very efficient and friendly and not concerned about the state of our boots.We will definitely call again with less mud we hope.

Welcome retreat from inclement weather. Visited in late Spring. Toilets were not inside cafe - short walk away.

Visited the Beach Café a few times over the years. Staff seem friendly enough, but the place is stuck in a time warp, not the most attractive place to visit.Ordered a Chicken Curry and Rice, served up on a rather smallish plate, I guess to trick the brain into thinking its a large portion, sadly it didn't work..I was taken aback by the extremely small bits of chicken in the curry, cut to a size of about 1cm, only wish I had taken a photo. At £6.50 this was a total insult.I was asked if I had enjoyed my meal? the answer was a polite No, and explained my displeasure.

Sit outside or inside. Easily accessed from car park and disabled car parking close.The food is wholesome and inexpensive.

My partner and I visited this cafe for a morning breakfast. Unfortunately we were greeted by a very old fashioned decor. After selecting what we wished to order from the over priced menu we decided to place our order, only to find they did not accept card. The lady I dealt with seemed quite rude when I asked the question if they took card. As if I should have known they only accepted cash.I will not be returning!

Not good value. Takes advantage of the remote location shamelessly. Staff are friendly and the outdoor seating area is very nice in the summer. Good place for coffee when it's warm!

Fab place to stop on a cycle, staff friendly place is tired but but it provides everything you could wish for excellent ice cream, and variety of unhealthy pleasures like cakes, bacon sandwiches and the like . Well worth a visit

A great place to call into whilst down at the beach. Has everything you need and more. A very welcome brew when the weather outside leaves a lot to be desired

A classic beach cafe. this is wales and warm fare as well as icecream may be in demand on the sam day so you can get chips and cocoa at the same time as your ice cream cone and any amount of plastic beach paraphernalia. Staff are friendly.

This place has so many good memories for me although for someone new visiting it will seem like you have stepped back in time. Food is great though and very well run.

Perhaps being a 'Local' adds a little bit of extra love to this review. The decor is very much back in time, almost kitsch with its pink paint and spotted table coverings and local art work. Mix with this the seaside Rock, Postcards and childrens Beach toys. Nets, Kites, Beach Balls etc and you have UK Seaside at its best.The staff are always polite and friendly in this family run cafe. The menu is simple but can always offer just the right dish for most occasions ( what a place for a Wedding reception, come on someone, be brave!) Its always good to check the opening times in the Winter as if its quiet they may close early. Over time it has served as a place to laugh or even cry. A true local landmark. Enjoy.

Having lived in Llantwit Major several years, I was lucky to visit the Beach Cafe on many many occasions. The owners Albert and Maria are always welcoming and game for a laugh. I recommend a visit here wholeheartedly.Situated about a mile or so from the centre of Llantwit Major village, there is ample car parking available which is free. Once there, you can enjoy pleasant walks along the coastal path which is well recommended.The cafe does not have its own toiled facilities, but they are available nearby in the life saving building.

Location is great. Staff were friendly. Coffee was wet and hot but not good coffee taste. Toasties were ok, the cheese was a little bland but the side salad was fresh and tasty. Welsh cakes were disappointing as they were very dry and tasted strange!

Arrived late in village 16th July and our accommodation had fell through. The young chap here couldn't have been more helpful. Used his own phone and tried a few places. Got us sorted in local pub. Great many thanks

Love the pasties and they were served hot. Had plenty of food to offer but you got to wait as it is freshly cooked.

Well situated after a good walk, reasonable prices and a great resting place. Good meeting point if you are part of a group

We tend to come down to Llantwit Major Beach in the summer months, as it can be a bit chilly down here! But when we do come here we always come to the cafe for a bite to eat! The food is always nice, but can be a bit to pricey though you don't mind paying for it as the food is always nice and but the only bad thing is that you don't know what the portion size is going to be like for example sometimes the portion is just about right or on the small size and then we tend to be still hungry though we always have a homemade cake or a nice cream! If it sunny we tend to sit outside if we can get a table and when the weather is not so good we eat inside which there is a lot of tables to sit down!

Me and my wife called in for a cup of tea, it was the worst tea we have ever been served, I have my tea black but mine was so bad couldn't drink it, the staff are friendly, sorry but we won't be going there again, it is also quite a walk from the town to there, it would be nice if someone could lay on a shuttle service from the town to the beach?.
