Victoria Tea Room and Icecream Parlour in The Vale of Glamorgan

This is an excellent venue, been coming here for a few years. Staff always friendly, prices are good and portions good size. Place is always spotless. Thoroughly recommend a visit to this premises, one of Penarth's hidden gem's.

Christine and Melanie and Heather deserve every success. They are the friendliest people you could meet. The welcome and warmth you receive is amazing. My friends and I had lunch today and it was superb. Our table was reserved and the Christmas spirit was abundant. We are so great-full for our welcome and class all now as dear friends. Thank you all.

Me and the boys always come here for a weekend brekky or I come alone and it’s constantly good everytime. Affordable food and home cooked with lovely staff and a great atmosphere. A lot more than what I can say for the general standard for Penarth this past year.

Myself, my and my twin daughters (aged 8) went for lunch here today. Fantastic menu, plenty to choose from. I had the homemade chicken curry which was delicious and my daughters chose fish fingers chips and peas from the childrens menu. Very generous portions and wonderful service. Very clean and the staff and owner were so welcoming and helpful.

Myself and my friends visited recently, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Ordered a breakfast which was delicious, and the coffee is so nice. Very good value and such a lovely place to visit. Would definitely recommend and will be back

Had chilli baked potato, lovely hot cuppa and other half had a fresh sandwich and pop, chosen from the lunch menu that has plenty of choices. All was yummy. The cafe is tastefully decorated in keeping with its name, is spotless throughout and the staff pleasant and efficient. Our visit today was absolutely worthwhile.

This is a hidden little gem in Penarth. We visited as a family of 6. All food and drink requests were catered for and the service was so wonderful and personal. We were able to book very easily over the phone before visiting. The milk shakes are delicious and scones are incredibly generously sized. A brilliant family visit to make the most of when you are in Penarth!

My friends and I have been visiting this delightful and friendly cafe for many years now. Christine and Melanie and all the gang give u the best welcome ever. We were all caught up in the pandemic but to call in this week was the best thing since sliced bread. Must keep it a secret though or we won’t have our very special window seat. Shuuuuush

Visited The Victoria Tea Room for lunch. First off, very good Covid precautions without being overbearing; we felt safe and confidentEqually important, delicious Brie and cranberry / tuna mayo sandwiches - with trimmings - plus coffee and tea. Friendly and personable staff and a very nice ambiance.There a lots of dining options in Penarth but we were very happy with our choiceRecommended

amazing cakes and home cooked food the custard slices are to die for! great waitress service very nice vintage place!

Called in again today and never disappointed. Excellent food and service - very nice place and reasonable prices. Recommended. If you are looking for lunch, suggest you reserve or get in at mid day ish as it can get really busy

Called here today with my wife for first time. Plenty of on street parking by church. Lovely decor, bright and airy with quirky furniture. Met by friendly and helpful staff. Nice choice of food, we both settled for a broccoli and cheese quice with salad which was very tasty. Will be calling again very soon.

Have been meaning to pop in here for some time and finally managed it today when out for a walk. Lovely ambiance and excellent service. Food was lovely, so cannot fault the first experience and we will be back, for sure. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely 2 course home cooked lunch at the tea room with friends. The food was delicious, the atmosphere great and the staff and owner could not have done more for us - thank you!

lovely varied menu for all times of the day set in a lovely ambience old fashion values quality service and quality food it feels like stepping back in time

Quirky and quaint but quality too -Very clean tearoom in penarth’s ‘Out of toen’ Shopping street Cornerswell Rd (in fact just 5 mins walk from the station, or 2Mins from stanwell Rf by stop!). Friendly service, wfiicient, cosy - what more do you need?

Called in this morning when passing by. Ended up spending a lovely hour with breakfast and coffee. There food was simple but excellent, and the environment was relaxing and comfortable. Hope to return soon!

Lovely homemade food and deserts. The café is very clean and staffs are very friendly. Cosy place with comfortable seats.

Often visit for a snack lunch. Quality of food good, Polite, prompt and friendly service in comfortable surroundings. What more canou want?

Lovely local cafe.comfy seats inside and great home made food.some seating outside .Recommend the home made cakes

Este lugar es una joya. La decoración es mona, un montón de bunting y bastante china. A ello se añade el menú está lleno de deliciosos y la comida es razonable. El personal no puede hacer más por ti y dejar que te sientas tan larga como quieres sin que molesten. Realmente me gusta este salón de té, mejor en Penarth imo. Lo recomiendo completamente.

Uno de los mejores precio en breskfasts preparado y razonable en cuanto a la zona.

The waitresses were very kind and happy in their job the food was beautiful. Very homely,clean and I will definitely visit again

He usado este salón desde que abrió sus puertas y siempre ha sido recibido con una sonrisa y un hola, la comida siempre es excelente, pero la última vez que fui la persona que me atendió no era muy feliz en su trabajo una pena, ya que todo el mundo es encantadora, la comida era fantástica

We have visited this team room on many occasions and have always had a lovely meal and friendly efficient service. The owner quite clearly takes a great pride in her business and always has a wonderful selection of home made cakes.

Went to this tea room as friends recommended it I was told to sit down by the rude waitress she then took my order with out much of a smile or a thank you the food wash fab well worth he money but the waitress never came to check on my food to see if all was ok my friends said she had don't been there a few months but she was very sharpe and rude soi will not b going back there again

Met a friend here for a drink and a bite to eat. Good food, warm atmosphere and polite, friendly staff. Would recommend.

Hemos viajado por muchos años de los Midlands de Penarth y siempre asegurarse de que comer en el Victoria salón de té. No puedo decir lo suficiente:

Customer service when ordering was awkard. Not at all friendly service youd expect from a local cafe. Ordered a breakfast but asked to subsitute an item - meet with an awkard ' i dont know '. When the breakfast arrived - item i asked to subsitute was not on the plate or the replacement and the staff did not mention it. Later, when clearing the plates, the waitress said to me " you didn't get the subsituted item then!" with no apology or explanation. At no point did they come over to see if we were happy with our food.Food was ok however the portion size was dissappointing. I will not rush to go there again, mainly due to the unfriendliness of the staff, they clearly have their favourite (regular) customers.

Held my sisters baby shower in Victoria Tea Rooms at the end of August, everyone had a lovely time and staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of lovely fresh sandwiches and cakes. We could even bring our own alcohol for a small corkage fee. Everyone had a fab time and would recommend to family and friends, thanks!

Baguette wasn't freshly baked and tasted like one of those ones you buy part baked, full of nasty additives and sticks to the roof of your mouth! Sausages were cheap and nasty. Yuck! Nothing tasted nice, and it wasn't cheap either. We won't be returning.

I have dined at this establishment on several occasions however on a recent visit I was greeted by Ants at the table! Not my idea of a pleasant place to eat. If you are lucky enough to be served by one of the young lady waitresses you will at least receive good service, however if you happen to catch the manager on a bad day look out! She even seems unable to speak to her staff in a professional manner; it made me feel quite uncomfortable. In future I will be taking my lunch elsewhere - such a shame because the other staff are quite lovely.

Three of us ate here at lunchtime. We had the soup which was absolutely delicious served with a crusty roll, but they also had a really good assortment of cakes etc which looked wonderful. The staff were also very pleasant. The decor is marvellous with beautiful china on display. It has all been done with very good taste and there was a good assortment of seating. We will look forward to visiting this cafe again.

A very attractive café with vintage china displayed on dressers and tasteful bunting. I had a delicious home made fruit scone, warm with clotted cream and jam, amazing.

Went here with my wife for a birthday treat. We had a pot of tea and a nice slice of carrot cake. Place has nice vintage decor and is a comfortable environment. The tea was nice and the cake was lovely and a decent portion. Average price you would expect to pay in any tea room type of place

We asked 'Crissie' at this Tea Room to cater for our special occasion.She provided a selection of sandwiches, savouries and scones.All the food was absolutely delicious and of high quality, well presented and efficiently delivered.All our guests remarked on the quality of the food and we would have no hesitation in recommending this Tea Room and the catering service they offer.

Was house sitting for a friend around the corner so I thought I'd try the local "cafe" for breakfast. Lovely clean establishment, decor pleasant & traditional with a fresh look. Was pretty busy but managed to nab the last table!.....Clientele ranges from every age & walk of life, seems the place to meet your friends for a cuppa/cake. Anyway, my order was taken swiftly (nice that the menu was short & specific) and the waitress said that there would be a wait as a few tables had arrived at the same time. Wasn't an issue for me as I wasn't in any rush. I opted for a breakfast with scrambled egg & pot of tea. After 10-15 min wait my food arrived. Lovely presentation on an oval plate, not a trace of fat/grease & nice produce. Have to say Im fussy when it comes to my scrambled egg, theirs was perfect...compliments sent to the chef. 2 days later went back for another breakfast....again same standards applied. And also had a lunch of scampi & chips, again nice crisp chips, fluffy inside & lovely scampi, and homemade tartare sauce...yummy. Didnt indulge but the cakes looked fab. Great staff highly recommend just a cuppa or food too. You can also book tables, advisable as each visit I only just got a table. Will be going again soon!

I've been here a couple of times with friends, for a cuppa and chin wag. Great little cafe, lovely staff just a little expensive.

You'll find this great little place near the post-office in Cornerswell Road. Lovely tea and coffee, and cold drinks. There is a good selection of cakes and tasty lunches. The place is clean as a new pin and the staff are friendly and helpful;. I would recommend this place highly.

I have breakfast in the Victoria Tea Room and always enjoy the food and excellent service from very pleasant and attentive staff. I highly recommend this cafe

I have had a good couple of cups of tea here, served in a traditional tea pot with cup and saucer. I have seen people order sandwiches they come on fancy cake stands, It all looks the part, just a little pricey for the area.

What a lovely find! It's got beautiful interior (which makes it very cosy and homelike" staff are friendly, and meals are delicious. sandwhiches are tasty and obviously very fresh, not known about this place long as it's out of the town centre.. But had become a favourite.

This small quaint tearoom situated in beautiful Penarth is so friendly and welcoming. I am always greeted on arrival and get amazing service. We ventured there today for breakfast. I had tea and hot buttered crumpets, tea served in China cups and saucers. My partner had a small breakfast, freshly prepared and piping hot. It never fails to deliver top quality food at good value prices.

A lovely place to visit for afternoon tea and catch up with your friends. The cakes are delicious! The décor is warm and pretty. A home from home! Went with a friend for a quick cup of tea and ending up spending two hours there.

Small & friendly with great food. Home made cakes that are fresh and yummy! Lovely old school way to serve tea, China cups & saucers alongside China tea pot. Teapot kept hot and well topped up. Do give them a try!

Visited Victoria Tea Rooms for Lunch a couple of days ago and really enjoyed the food. Presentation was great, food tasty and a good selection on the menu. Staff were pleasant/friendly. Would reccomend - seems like they care about their business.

I have been here twice, after giving the first visit the benefit of doubt. However i won't be returning. The chicken curry turned out to be a green, greasy colour soup and with just a few tiny pieces of chicken. The majority of lumps were actually mushrooms, so it should be renamed mushroom curry. I later developed a stomach ache that lasted for hours. The so-called homemade welsh cakes were definately out of a packet, along with the bara brith. My husband asked for a black coffee but only got half a cup, he didn't need any space for milk of course. The tea wasn't of good quality. When leaving, we said goodbye and waved but the staff just stared at us blankly.

This is very prettily decorated with bunting and painted furniture to create a vintage feel. We were able to order something off the breakfast menu despite being there at lunchtime - a bacon roll - and I had an egg mayo and cress sandwich. The waitress explained they would have to boil the egg for my choice whilst we waited, but we didn't have to wait long and the food was tasty and nicely presented. Will definitely return to try the delicious cakes!

My mum had a jacket potato which was overflowing with prawn Marie rose and I had tea and cake, both were very good. Comfortably busy. Will definitely return. Not pretentious like Hamptons.

What a pleasant find out of the centre of Penarth .Victoria Tea Room is charming its beautifully decorated, sparkling clean and the food is yummy tooHome make cakes appertizing snacks and good service What more can you ask for !!
