The Pier Cafe in Bridgend

Wow , what a fabulous brekkie had here today . As a local , then I hadn’t gone here for a while , even though I had always had good experiences . Tried it again today and was amazed at the quality of the produce. Thickly cut tasty bacon and gorgeous bread for the toast .Perfect eggs, yum yum . Absolutely beautiful fresh coffee and all at a very reasonable price . I will certainly be eating here again soon It’s now 6pm and I’m still too full for dinner !!!!!!!!

What a fantastic start to the day a Full English. Sitting outside in the sun cracking coffee,with great staff. Definitely a place to go back to.

Absolutely lovely breakfast. Probably the best I’ve had in a long time. Really good produce and lovely bread used for the toast. Very clean and lovely staff. Will definitely return

It’s a tradition of ours every year, after we spend a weekend at Trecco Bay, we visit this cafe on the morning we are headed back home. Always a warm welcome and the food is always great. We look forward to visiting every year! There was a gorgeous, elderly dog there this year who unfortunately was blind, but was so gentle and friendly - it made the visit all the more special. I think the dog belonged to the owner. Love this cafe.

Excellent find on a corner in Porthcawl, stopped for breakfast and was surprised by the quality and service, goo size and fare price. Weather was good enough to sit out side and watch the sea and boats. Will be returning and try a lunch next time.

Excellent breakfast, with great quality ingredients and reasonably priced, was very pleasantly surprised

Stopped here for a late b’fast after paddle boarding in the bay. The food was amazing (get the ‘Pier breakfast‘) and the coffee decent! Prices weeee a bargain and the warm sun and sea breeze just sets off the calm and peaceful feel of the place!

Lovely food at a lovely price with great coffee !!! I'll be back ! Be nice in the warmer weather when you can sit outside and eat !

Whilst the food was nice, the prices and service good. The decor was outdated and run down. The toilets were appalling. It needs a revamp but keep its oldy world character

The breakfast here is the best in the area! Tried The Waterfront nearby and it was rubbish! So moral of this is go to the Pier Cafe for your brekky when your in Porthcawl or (Costa del a Trecco)!

Best cooked breakfast I've had in a long time. Good quality and cooked to perfection and friendly service.

Breakfast was stunning and it was huge! Would definately go back there! Value for money and food was quick! Highly reccomend!

I must admit don't get here much these days as my Porthcawl Clients have all retired now! Nevertheless I was here a few days ago with a mate and we had the excellent mini pier breakfast! Nothing has changed, thank God! Still excellent in quality and quantity! I miss the place! Keep up the good work! Regards to Andrea and the gang!

We chose this place for breakfast both mornings. It looks uninviting from the seafront but go in through the side entrance and it gets better. Food and service are good.

The Pier Cafe mumbles is one of our favourite cafes, its a traditional old cafe with high ceilings and ceiling fans, chanderliers and bench seats. A good selection of fillings to choice from for our bagettes. When they arrived at the table they had lots of cheese and crispy bacon in them and a nice side salad, they also came with two side dishes of coleslaw and crisps. I ordered a pot of earl grey tea and my husband ordered welsh tea, they were good quality teas served in a good size individual pots complete with old fashioned sugar cubes. Staff are friendly and there's always a selection of daily newspapers to read if you want to. Outside are plenty of tables if you want to eat on the pier, and get the sea breezes and the sunshine while your having your refreshments. The cafes suitable for holiday makers, families and locals, whether you pop in for a meal, pot of tea or an ice cream, its also open all year round. An added bonus is the cafe will take £1 off your bill if you produce your parking ticket.

Our one night stay in Porthcawl did not serve breakfast. Our search took us to The Pier Hotel Cafe as it was the only eating place open before 8.30 am. The sun was rising and the hot temperatures enabled us to eat outside. The cafe was busy and had a nice atmosphere probably because we were all outside. The orders were placed and we were soon tucking in to what was a very good breakfast indeed. Staff were excellent and we were all well satisfied. The total bill was very reasonable and we will most certainly be eating here again on our next visit to Porthcawl. The cafe rating was 5.

Called in while staying in Bridgend for breakfast with friends and our dogs. Great choice of food and reasonable price. We can recommend the pier breakfast, given 10/10 by one of our party members !!!

Must admit haven’t been to Porthcawl for sometime!

I just love this café. The staff are brilliant and helpful. The delicious and ample portions food is served quickly. It's great value for money and the views over Porthcawl are spectacular.

From the outside this cafe does not look inviting and the interior is not terribly exiting either. However the welcome by the staff was warm and the breakfast was very good. My usual quibble about the standard of the catering sausages applies. Why not use the far better sausages from local butchers? I would certainly pay a little more for better quality.Having said that everything else was lovely. Good black pudding and even the brown toast is worth mentioning. The mushrooms were spot on

We often call into the Pier for a breakfast, setting us up for a day before a long walk with our dogs around Porthcawl. The breakfast is second to none, not the finest ingredients but most definitely tasty in the extreme.

A good breakfast at the pier, wide choice & lovely cappuccino with flakes of chocolate on top. Nice patio to sit out in the sun or when you bring dogs. Very popular but you do get told waiting time when busy

Haven't been here since late Summer, but my son and I called in recently for the famous Pier Breakfast.

Our group have used the Pier fairly regularly and always found the staff friendly and food very good. It is simple cafe fare but prepared well and tastes very good. There is outdoor seating for the better weather which offers a sea view.

Must admit haven't been here for a while, but as I was in the area with an associate, we called in for their mini pier breakfast.

I recently called in with Client who lives in London.

As I stated in my last review, when my Son and I were in the area again, I treated him to the Pier Breakfast.

My Wife and I have been visiting Porthcawl recently and have had two Sunday Lunches here!

My subject says it all! The mini pier breakfast is fantastic, and credit to the little lady chef that cooks it! Always hot and well presented. Like I said earlier, it gets better on each visit, like Andrea!

Always have a mini pier breakfast here when I'm in the area.

If you visit Porthcawl like I do on a regular basis, visit the Pier for the mini Pier breakfast, it's the best you'll have in this area.

When I'm in porthcawl I always go here for their breakfast.
