The Pilot House Cafe in Isle of Anglesey

We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, they are just the best . I felt like I'd known the staff for years. If only all cafes were like this. Oh, and the view is spectacular.

Amazing food every time. They do pizzas burger and all sorts. Perfect spot. Worth every penny. Gift shop and homemade cakes to take home too

We got pizza and ice cream from the cafe. Honestly the BEST pizza we have had 😍. Nice selection of ice creams and delicious 😋! We will be back. Thank you

Best pizza ever. This wonderful place really deserves the award for best take away on Anglesey. Yummy thank you. Mike and Geraldine

Best bacon butties ever but also yummy cakes scones pizza burgers home made jams and much more. Wonderful friendly owners create a fantastic experience. Most beautiful setting in the world. And now during covid still serving take aways and providing delivery too. Thank you for making life that bit better for us all. Brilliant.

Outdoor seating only at the moment because of Covid so good Covid awareness but a bit nippy. Decent cuppa & scones. Pleasant staff.

After a long walk on the coastal path we popped in to the cafe. We sat outside and admired the views of the Menai Straits and mountains. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Pizzas were very tasty and good value for money. My husband especially loved the bara brith with his tea. Highly recommended

I came to penmon to do some fishing when i came across the pilot house cafe, i decided to have a 12inch meat feast pizza to share with my wife and it was the best pizza we’ve ever had, i also bought a loaf of the homeade bara brith and it was lovely, will definitely be coming back ☺️

The food and drinks were lovely. The vegetarian pizza and the lemon cake were my personal favourites! Staff were lovely, and it was overall a very pleasant experience. Will definitely be coming here again:)

Due to covid-19 restrictions there was no indoor seating. The cool strong breeze did not suit sitting at one of the outside tables so we retreated to the car. The various cakes on affer looked fine, the carrot cake was very nice. However the sausage bap cannot be reccomended as the bap was dry and so were the sausages, one of which tasted like it had been cooked the day before. All in all not a particularly pleasant experience

We were so thankful for this place ! We stayed in our van over the bank holiday weekend Was only going to stay 1 night but didn’t want to leave so stayed an extra night The people that own this cafe couldn’t do enough !Couldn’t believe they were Open till 10pm !!! Nice bacon rolls in the morning And Perfect freshly made Pizzas so nice we had 3 between us !!! And then we hit a problem my wife had no wine !!! Marriage breakdown material !!!! they asked Chris The delivery driver if he could take me to Beaumaris to get a couple of bottles !! Thank you so much all of you And for saving my marriage ha ha !! We will def be back !!!!! See you soon

Excellent service and food.Vegetarian Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza with Cheesy Nachos,followed by Raspberry & White Chocolate and Blue Candyfloss Ice cream... Delicious. We have eaten here two years ago and we weren't disappointed again today this is a top quality place to eat, the owner is witty and the staff are friendly. Thank you They also offer a great Gluten Free menu with their pizzas a part of this too.

Firstly we started with ice-cream, I had bluecandyfloss and raspberry and white chocolate. My partner had raspberry sorbet they were amazing. Secondly we then had pizza each with chips and cheesy nachos they were just so tasty and yummy. Omg the pizza. I don’t normally like pizza in the UK but this pizza was totally worth it I’m so glad I took that chance with it. I haven’t stopped talking about it. We then had a yummy chocolate orange cake and that was so mouth watering, we then finished the evening with coffee’s before we headed back home. We had this amazing food spread out throughout our day.The whole experience was phenomenal and so enjoyable. My partner and I can’t wait to return and have more pizza. The service was also great so helpful and polite. So thank you very much From Kirsty Lloyd

I live on Anglesey and stopped off at the Pilot House Cafe for lunch. Good menu choices but as Im on a diet ☹ i didnt want chips or anything like that so o asked if they did sandwiches. The lovely lady said they didnt (and i admit i was a bit rude to the lady so if youre reading this im sorry about that ...i was Hangry) Anyway she offered Omelettes so we ordered those and a side salad. Omelettes came and were gorgeous! The salad did not arrive so we had to ask for that but it was lovely and fresh when we got it. The chef is very proud of his omelettes and rightly so! All in all a lovely visit with lovely food.

Decided to use this cafés delivery service as been before with the family and the food was superb. Best decision I made my lads 18th birthday party was made even better by the quality of the food. Nice friendly delivery staff was spot on, social distancing was adhered to. Would recommend to anyone.

This is a shed on a beach! Don't be fooled though. This is a bright, cheerful and quirky shed with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is warm and cosy with a log fire. One pot of tea, one double, triple chocolate ice cream, a somewhat dubious flat white coffee (hence the rating), a visit or two from a Welsh Collie, a few bars from a resident/passing (?) guitarist and we were refreshed and ready to go again. Great views, good hospitality, we enjoyed out visit and hopefully will be back next time we are in the area. Thank you.

I went to penmon to visit the priory and stumbled on this lovely cafe where the owner was warm and friendly as was the cafe. Excellent coffee and a fresh scones with cream amongst other such treats and although I didn't bring beaver my dog I was quite pleased to learn it was a dog friendly place (a good excuse to come back)me and beaver will definitely be back as I'm in anglesey a lot and I was made to feel less a customer and more a friend cheers hayley

Everything was good about this serious contender for most scenic cafe in Wales! A warm welcome, good coffee, nice selection of cakes & scones - we went for the scone with jam & cream and bara brith with butter, both absolutely delicious.Spacious, Dog friendly, comfy seating and a log burner, bliss after a long walk!

Whilst out walking with my friend at the weekend we stumbled across this little gem of a cafe. After a warm greeting, we tucked into some fresh scones with jam and cream! Absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend !

Had a most pleasant experience at this beautiful wee cafe, staff were attentive and most pleasant. Also set in a beautiful part of the world highly recommended.

Could you not put sign out on road saying cafe open when it's not. Also on web site. Wasted journey!!!!!

In a dog friendly cafe at the end of the road leading to Penmon Point. There is outdoor seating and homemade bara brith loaves are available for sale.

Excellent place to stop on the Eastern Coastal Walk. Fantastic food and coffee. Definitely recommended.

Called in for a latte, which was very good and an okay price, and to use the loo! The toilets are kept locked and have the biggest key fob I have ever seen! The cafe was clean and cosy, with ample seating outside too.

We called in to this cafe when visiting the lighthouse & priory ruins. It was a lovely day weather wise so we found a table outside & enjoyed the sea view. Whilst there the cafe busy, but despite that the staff were still friendly and very helpful. Cafe can be accessed by wheelchair, which is great. They were happy to cater to gluten free needs and I had a toastie and cake - the coffee cake was absolutely delicious!

Had a lovely morning at the pilot house cafe. Lovely food and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We Were treated to free ice cream as the children were so well behaved. Going back very soon! Thank you x

Right by Penmon point and the lighthouse is this cafe serving hot and cold drinks, foods and its also a souvenir shop, get the all important fridge magnet here. Outside seating. Caters for children. Dog friendly. Toilet onsite. Plenty of parking spaces. Awesome visit.

Stumbled upon this cafe whilst undertaking the stunning circular walk in Penmon. The cafe was a very welcome sight in a stunning location. Really great little place that sells a variety of items like retro cards and baking books and other items, plus delicious cakes and lovely fresh coffee were very welcomed into my belly during the 6.5 mile walk. Lovely staff and very reasonably priced also - win-win!

Think we got there at a busy point. The lady at the counter apologized, but there was no need. We got our food quick, no problems with service etc. Prices comparable to some National Trust places we've been, so didn't put us off.

we went fishing here and they looked after us well faces puffin island brilliant , staff great and parking outside brilliant views , a must visit

Food was delicious and staff were so friendly - I have never had a more delicious mocha - can't wait to get back.

We recently visited on a family holiday. Blessed with good weather it was lovely to be able to sit outside and look out to sea, where I enjoyed the tastiest slice of cappuccino cake. The staff were very friendly and the cafe in general has a very pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely visit again.

We live in Scotland but manage a visit to Pilot House every couple of years or so and with each visit it gets prettier and the cakes get tastier Since our last trip theres a lovely wee kids cottage and flower garden sprung up and there’s lots of safe green space to run around and explore.

I personally found the pilot house both people and dog friendly the manager Haylee was welcoming and the views from the cafe lovley as well as the 3 cups of coffee and cream scones in summery a good place to visit with a happy curtious host near historical penmon priory even the dog could relax thanks Haylee

Visited Penmon today as part of our last day exploring the island.

Visited Penmon on a weekend holiday in Anglesey. Were surprised to find a cafe in such an out of the way spot, and as it was lunchtime decided to give it a try. It was a lovely day so we sat outside and had a light lunch which we enjoyed.

The staff were friendly and the food looked O.K. but we decided not to eat the food there (we just had a drink) for the following reasons...

Nice cafe bit pricey but nice staff and food nice but as its only place to eat it is nice .vey nice inside and really clean would reccomend

We were staying at penmon point for the week so this was handy to pop into. We mostly went for a treat of cake. We also went for lunch,everything was very nice. Sitting outside with the view was spectacular. This really is a lovely place. All staff were friendly.

Drove round to view Puffin Island and Penmon Lighthouse to find this quaint little cafe. Welcomed by the very friendly Ladies working there, and had a delicious sausage and bacon bap, toasted buttered tea cake and coffees, very reasonable prices too. There’s a well stocked shop with gifts, postcards, prints, snacks etc, and a toilet with a key from the counter. You pay a toll (£3 for a car) to drive out to the point and park or you can park and walk the last bit to the lighthouse. We were lucky to see porpoises off the shore Andy lots of birds on Puffin Island too. Great little place not to be missed if you are in the local area.

Saw this cafe when visting penmon lighthouse.

This was our second visit to this cafe lovely toastie followed by delicious ice cream sat outside in the sunshine enjoying the wonderful view.What more could you possibly want?

My wife and I plus our Labrador visited on a windy Saturday lunchtime. The staff were very friendly and the bacon and sausage baps excellent and reasonably priced.

What a wonderful experience! The location is stunning made all the more so because of the Pilot Cafe.

We literally stumbled on this place while walking the Wales Coastal Path along Anglesey, and we LOVED it! The hospitality was excellent, the family is so sweet, and generous, and the food is excellent. Whether it's something hot to eat or drink or something cold, you will be happy you stopped here during your visit to the Lighthouse.

Called in here for a drink and a snack after exploring the point and photographing the landmarks. We had our collie with us and were welcomed by all the staff plus their own collie! Lovely little sunspot sitting outside and a decent coffee to boot!

Visited this café after parking at Penmon Priory and walking about a mile along the toll road with great views of Puffin Island and Penmon Lighthouse.

Stopped at Pilot House Cafe. Wonderful sandwiches and selection of cakes. Beautiful location. Well worth a look.

Visited for lunch - small food menu (but what we had was very nice) but the cake selection made up for it!! Amazing cake & selection of ice cream. Very pleasant & friendly guy serving. Coffee & cake a must if you’re visiting Penmon!

As a "beach cafe", and evidently the only cafe for miles, it has everything for kids, plus souvenirs and gifts. The decaf coffee was a bit weak (as it often is) and not cheap, but I was almost tempted by the cake counter, the staff are friendly, the decor quaint and the toilets spotless. And they have rum and raisin ice-cream, which you don't see everywhere. Deserves supporting.

The place is a great place for a snack. The staff are very friendly one of us is gluten free diet and they even do gluten free sandwiches. We had bacon, and sausage and egg sandwiches which were delicious and used good quality ingredients. We would definitely visit again

We were still full after hotel breakfast so just stopped for a cuppa (and it was a very good one) and were impressed by the menu and the delicious looking home-made cakes in this just-off-the-beaten-track cafe - the bacon baps looked and smelt great -the man on the table next to us had two! The young staff were polite and friendly, the whole place had a very welcoming feel.

I think this cafe has changed hands. It used to be excellent. Been twice this year, very disappointed both times.

A must visit café, cakes was so nice...... Friendly owner and staff, don't forget to try their ice-cream, you will ask for more....

Took a drive out to see the lighthouse and discovered a totally unspoilt cove and the quaint cafe that served fabulous cakes, most of which are gluten free. The idyllic cafe overlooks puffin island and is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Beautiful afternoon tea in a beautiful location. Also had a variety of ice cream flavours and sweet treats for the children . Will definitely revisit as an afternoon here feels like a holiday!

Me and husband came to Penmon Priory and took a walk up the road to see the lighthouse and Puffin island. We stopped here for a coffee and it was wonderful. The man working on the counter was very friendly and helpful....husband is lactose intolerant and the guy helped him with choices. A lovely place!

On a good day this location affords fantastic views of The Menai Straights and Snowdonia.The snack lunch was much enjoyed and it was dog friendly !

The sun shone & it was warm enough to sit outside on Christmas Eve. After a dog walk/swim this was just perfect for a good cappuccino & a pot of tea. Due to festive season there was no toll charge. Saw a seal as well.

Beautifully located cafe facing Puffin Island with extremely friendly staff who will go out of their way to cater for your needs and tastes.

Visiting the lighthouse at Penmon Bay was a first for us, travelling around Anglesey, called at this fabulous place on a photography assignment, needed food after busy morning called into the Pilot House Cafe for lunch, nothing too fancy but lovely and homely, food was basic but very nice , nice place too for a warm up with a gorgeous Latte

Popped into this cafe after a lovely windy walk in Penmon Point today. Its been years since I was here last and I have to say that the cafe really is a lovely find! Both our dogs were welcomed inside (it was quiet there), and the owners were really friendly. The food was lovely and homemade, and the Mocha's were absolutely gorgeous - lots of cream and a flake.....yum!! I am a local and I will most definately be going back.......a hidden gem of a place :) :)

Visiting Penmon Head last week ,Myself & The Other Half called in here for a Cup of Tea.A beautiful little Cafe with a lovely Lady serving us.Wtll definitely be back.

Hot drinks and snacks. Freindly staff . Lovely dog Prices fine , food basic but just right for the location

First time visitors to this area and would definitely go back to Penmon point and this cafe- beautiful views and delicious cakes.

A good cafe with good light bites and amazing views, don't let the toll road put you off. Worth the drive

Visited this cafe in the summer and winter,

Well, we paid to go up the toll road and look out over Puffin Island and the little lighthouse ... and in this bleak spot was this little white walled cafe! It had an impressive range of at least half a dozen cakes to have a slice from - coffee and walnut for me, lemon and earl grey for my wife ... tea .. and then ... she fancied a bacon bap! It was delivered well done as requested and absolutely packed with lovely bacon. If it’s open (I guess it is seasonal) be sure to stop by here - asic oilcloth tables and shelves of touristy toys etc but what comes out of the kitchen is ace.

Popped in for a sandwich and pot of tea having finished photographing the lighthouse and views nearby. My sandwich was generously filled and the pot of tea nice and hot, just what I wanted and expected.

Love this cafe so much, great food, drink and atmosphere! Our little girl was spoilt for choice and had a very yummy chocolate milkshake with cream and flake!! Great area to visit for walks and bird watching...a must for all visitors in the area.

I wasn't 100% sure there was a cafe at Penmon so finding this after a long walk was a welcome bonus. prompt service and tasty food with some really nice & attractive cakes on my visit. I have a suspicion it isn't open all year round so might be worth checking. To get here, as others have found, you need to go down a toll road - this should not be a surprise as it's clearly marked on most maps but you can also visit the remains around Penmon priory as well as the view from Penmon point. Toilets are basic but were clean on our visit.

Far too expensive!!! £2.95 for a toasted tea cake that was well toasted and dry!! Can’t get over the prices for snacks and cakes! Won’t be going there again, we are locals too!!

Hot chocolate and coffee were a mess, so full they spilt everywhere but toastys were delicious and not too expensive

Wanted a breakfast got to this place didn't know we were going to pay £3 fee for toll road. Cafe in a beautiful spot weather not great for us. Thought the breakfast should of been larger for the price paid and then had to pay for drinks on top. Was nice but we were still hungry. Price was expensive really need to add more to breakfast. Staff were very nice had some lovely arts and crafts but again very expensive.

After paying £3 toll we visited the cafe which is in a lovely spot. Ordered cheede and ham toastie, which was basic and sort of thing youd make at home for quarter of the price. Cake was expensive and wasps were everywhere although they did try to catch thrm in a net in the cafe. It was very busy but they seemed to keep up with demand. Would think of returned of back in the area, but not during wasp season. Surrounding area is gorgeous, worth a visit.

So nice to sit with the dog after walking around this beautiful area. Staff very welcoming and it is a lovely cosy cafe. A perfect coffee and very reasonable. Cakes looked nice but we were good for once!!

If i had used the run down toilets first ....I would never have eaten in the cafe

It's grown in size since I was last here and was packed when we got there (afternoon) but it's worth visiting. Hubby and I had scone with cream each, a tea and cappuccino, and it cost £12. Tasted lovely so happy with that. Staff friendly. Would recommend.

Came here as we knew you accepted dogs inside as per previous reviews. Did not realise where we were going until we arrived and got the supprise of the lighthouse and Puffin island. Lovely spot nicely tucked away. Very quaint. Food very nice, perfect for lunch. Service with a smile great. Now off to explore.

Second visit to this lovely quaint cafe in a beautiful part of Anglesey . The warm weather meant there were ample table/chairs and umbrellas outside which had a continuous flow or couples /families /walkers /dogs enjoying the laid back atmosphere of the cafe and surrounding scenic area. The lovely blonde haired young woman serving was very polite happy and professional in her work, serving the constant queue of people with a lovely smile. The beverages were served lovely and hot and the food followed shortly after ,freshly made and again hot and tasty. We even had a cake /scone and ice cream as dessert which were again delicious . Lovely cafe ,delightful staff we will call again . Thank you .

A gem of a cafe.It has been tastefully redecorated since my last visit. Wall mounted boating accessories add to the nautical feel and ambience.Lovely pleasant staff serve tasty food. There is a garden with views over Straits entrance and Snowdonia which rival anywhere.

We've been to this cafe the last 3 years on our summer holidays to Anglesey. The cafe is in a lovely spot and has a good selection of drinks and snacks. It caters for my dairy allergic son and my sweet toothed husband and daughter! All the staff are friendly and it tops off a really relaxing trip to Penmon Priory and Black Point perfectly.

Lovely cafe with lots of choice of the right sort of food for our family! Sausage butties, ham sandwiches, tea, pop and ice cream. Not to mention the sorbet my dairy intolerant 7 yr old had 😊!

What a fantastic little cafe. We come here every time we come to Wales (at least 3 times a year). To us it has always been the same, great food and a fantastic welcome. The views are stunning and the scones with jam and cream are awesome.

We visited The Pilot Inn today, and enjoyed a coffee and some tasty cakes.

As it was a scorching hot afternoon, we sought shade and refreshments before getting back in the car for the long drive back to our holiday accommodation. Two cups of tea shouldn't cost £5.50 unless they are excellent, and sadly they weren't. Unusually we were given a pot of tea and a pot of hot water (bonus points for this!), but the hot water wasn't hot. We could have got two cups each out of the pot but since we had added luke warm water, our second cups were grim. The milk had almost gone off too and had lumps floating around the edge.

Had a toasted cheese onion sandwich, and ham and cheese, when it came out on the thinnest bread you could find, think she rolled with a rolling pin, the outside of the onion, a piece of lettuce that I was not eating and for a bargain price of £9.00 pounds, was not worth £2.00, but where else can you go to the toilet? When you just paid £5.00 on the toll to get there, won't be rushing back any time soon, expensive sandwich to use the toilet, should charge a £1.00 to use the toilet, probably make more money,

Called for tea & cake. Greeted by a very aggressive dog believe belonged to the cafe. Plastic chairs & tables outside. Very friendly & efficient guy clearing tables. Lovely coffee cake & tea. Pricy but a cafe with a view.

The tea house at the end of the world! Most grateful to have a coffee here, outside in the sunshine. Range of food limited as you might expect, but was adequate for our needs. Wonderful setting, The three properties here painted sparkling white overlooking the sea.

We had been crossing the island and was in desperate need of tea, luckily this was at our next stop, quirky little beach cafe, nice cakes, friendly service and ten out of ten for the young chap behind the counter who totally noticed I was wearing a Brian Blessed T-shirt, well done fella, you have excellent taste and only the second person in 6 years or so to notice, highly recommended for that fact alone, can't argue with Brian and, true fact.

Lovely spot. Dog friendly. Fantastic cakes! Came here many years ago on the recommendation of my boss at the time that the carrot cake was fantastic. It was then and it still is now 20 odd years later!

Travelled a fair distance to meet our friend here thinking it looked inviting and modern. This is not the case as it is pretty dismal inside. The menu is very restricted. Bacon bap nice but still starving. Won't be returning.

A fantastic spot close by the lighthouse. Had an amazing piece of Victoria Sponge(gluten free) with organic tea. Very good value indeed. Lovely little spot. Highly recommended

Stopped on what has to be one of the most glorious summer weeks in Anglesey. We came to see the light house and were able to stop for a coffee and a piece of Delicious Gluten free Victoria Sponge. The song birds, local doggy shoeshine, and Haley were very welcoming, and with the weather and scenery and friendliest song birds I've ever seen, it made the experience all the more special.

Lovely and traditional little seaside cafe. Very clean and tidy, polite staff and enough choice on the menu! Highly recommend

Would recommend the cake it’s delicious but very overpriced. The cafe is very poorly decorated, it’s more for a child’s nursery and needs a whole new decor to fit the amazing surroundings. People don’t mind paying more for nice food etc if the cafe was better presented in my opinion.

Stopped for lunch after walk from Abbey ruins. Good selection of food, bacon bap really excellent. Service good and nice little gift items. Great sun spot sitting outside. Dog friendly and toilets.

The cafe is very friendly, bathed in wonderful fresh air by the sea. It is a place to relax and unwind. Little gifts available at the shop.

Just had a cuppa here while cycling. Friendly male staff on the day. The cakes looked nice but were resisted.

This is probably just a review for the vegans out there... We only thought we'd get a cup of tea (and we had soya milk cartons in our bag) but the cafe had soya milk, a vegetable soup that was vegan and even vegan ice cream to take to the lovely beach. Who'd have thought it? Thank you, Pilot House!

Called in here today for lunch, very friendly and welcoming staff. Our dog Nell loved the experience too. The cafe is dog friendly. Prices In our opinion are very reasonable considering the great location. Thanks again. We will certainly return.
