Waters Edge Cafe in Ceredigion

Never went there as I could get no guidance on opening times, dogs, location, however hard I tried. Went elswhere!

My husband and I called for an early lunch, we had a deli roll and a sandwich , both of which were packed with filling on really fresh bread very enjoyable,

We were on holiday nearby & had a lovely day on Aberporth beach. We called in to WatersEdge for a late lunch & were very glad we did! It has gorgeous views out over the beach & the food was excellent. Between us we had fish & chips, a burger & chips, 2 brie & cranberry toasties, a kids pizza & a ham & cheese toastie with chips. All the food was delicious & we all really enjoyed our meals. Afterwards our little boy had an ice cream which again was really good & the ladies serving were really friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

stopped by for a coffee and snacks and it was well worth the visit. friendly staff, good coffee and the sandwiches or paninis were lovely and cheap

Went to Aberporth on a Saturday evening for a evening of fishing with friends, went into this little cafe for some food before an evening of fishing, great service from the staff, who made you feel welcome, the food, well was out of this world! And the coffee to takeaway, was also as good! Highly recommend anyone popping into this lovely cafe if your in the area

Only had sandwiches and ice cream but the sandwiches were yummy. Freshly made to order. Me and my hubby only like granary bread and here they do it so was happy. Bread was really fresh and good range of fillings Staff were really friendly.

Situated on a hill overlooking Aberporth beach. Great views. Has both outdoor and indoor seating. Used quite often while on holiday as refreshments (and prices) are excellant.

Very welcoming, excellent service coffee was great very clean and plenty of space to enjoy a coffee and some great food very very nice

Having just spent a week on holiday in Aberporth we absolutely love WatersEdge. We have called for ice cream (lush), just drinks to take to the beach (you can even get a beer to take out) and also lunch and breakfast. The fish pie is delicious as are the chicken and beef burgers. You can build your own burger in terms of what relish etc that you want and I don't mean in terms of mayo or ketchup, have a look! All good. We called for breakfast on the last day before we left and it was great, cannot recommend enough. Really nice, friendly staff - EXCELLENT! Thanks guys! We'll be back x

Best latte I’ve had in a while. Nice clean cafe, plenty of space and a lovely outside seating area with a view of the beach and sea. Fab choice of ice creams. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if your in the area. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Stopped for tea and tea cakes and to escape from torrential rain. Tea cakes were very average and a bit stale without enough butter - no doubt we could have asked for more; but why not provide plenty in the first place? Not an experience to live long in the memory.

I enjoyed siting in this cafe enjoying my coke float, and admiring the view out of the window. Staff were friendly and polite. Cafe was kept tidy.

Friendly place,limited menu,great ice.cream,view across the beach gorgeous,nice staff.very clean ,worth a vusit

Serves refreshments (Fresh coffee, etc and light meals) and quality ice-cream, eco friendly, can sit outside and watch the sea, boats, dolphins, etc. Car park opposite.

We came to Aberporth beach today and had lunch in this cafe, my husband and i both had lasagne which is very tasty and we found out locally sourced from a nearby farm shop, the chips look unusual but were lovely and both childrens meals (sausage + pizza) were very nice too. Staff were fab 😀

We popped in for lunch on a warm day, not too busy and a small seating area outside.

Great coffee - lovely owner. Great cake, good menu. Cake looked great. Well worth a visit. Very reasonably priced for families.

We popped in to grab an ice cream for the children (and ourselves) and it was fantastic. Perfect location to pop up from the beach.

Coffee Luke warm scone not very fresh cream hard jam was nice only a small selection of ice cream mainly rocky road

Nice ice cream clean and tidy and a really good location

Lovely, friendly staff and great breakfast and coffee. Not too much trouble to swap some breakfast items and food was piping hot.

me and my partner came for a spot of lunch today while enjoying a sunny day at the beach and can say i was definitely not left disappointed.

A beautiful sunny day, a swim & sunbathe and my wife, grand daughter & I were ready for lunch. The Waters Edge across the road from Aberporth beach offer light lunches - perfect.

Stopped for a sandwich, and found a clean cafe, with friendly staff, excellent food, and quick service

A quick visit over the easter break - I ordered a toastie, which was quite possibly the nicest I've had: lovely bread, loads of filling, a delicious salad dressed with a great vinaigrette and home-made coleslaw. My kids had an ice-cream which was also amazing - chocolate chunks in the mint choc chip mmmmmmm. Will most definitely recommend to my friends!!

Had lunch here with my family during a recent holiday. Lovely Welsh Rarebit. Good quality coffee. Good portions and reasonably priced.

We came here for lunch. We ordered sandwiches but were told that the fillings we asked for were all out. Seemed there was only turkey or ham. Ordered these with tea. The tea came in a pot designed to brew fresh tea leaves but these had a tea bag in which prevented the tea from brewing! Location good and staff friendly. Would try somewhere different next time.

I have dropped in here while out on bike rides with friends several times over the past few years. Food and coffee are good and my daughter loves the ice cream. Beautiful few on a summers day.

Walked to Aberporth this morning and found this place listed on TripAdvisor. Well worth a visit. Coffee was lovely. Menu is extensive and includes lots of options for various dietary needs. Clean and spacious. Upbeat and friendly. Staff were happy and obviously enjoying their day too!

Friendly staff. Beautiful views. Clean and well presented café. Fun frappe selection for the kids. Lovely tea and very well priced. What more could you ask for in a café?!

what a great little place. Absolutely lovely staff and excellent food cooked fresh. Brilliant for a lunch to take back to the beach as well as a nice area to sit and eat. Happily went there several times

Food and drink we had was excellent and we can highly recommended the lemon cake, Frappe's and iced coffee. The cafe also was very welcoming to our dog which is also very nice to see! Well done!

We visited this cafe today for some lunch, following a lovely morning on the beach below. The cafe was beautifully clean, run by very friendly staff and served excellent food. What more could you want?

Aparecimos a este café ayer a comprar helados. Buena variedad de sabores, realizado en Gales. Elegimos el caramelo y sabores salados peach melba. Delicioso. Disfrutamos de ellos sentados en las mesas de afuera con vistas a la playa.

Caminamos hasta llegar al como Aberporth final del día. El personal era preparar a cerca pero felizmente tomó nuestra orden para el té y el café. Creo, sin embargo, fue la amabilidad del personal que era genial para ver. Nos ayudaron a pedir un taxi,...

Venía hoy con un caballero para helado antes de autistas con el paseo. Gran selección de helados deliciosos hielo, que disfrutó de los tres. Preciosa ubicación justo al lado de la playa. El personal era muy amable y paciente. Sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré....

Love sitting outside ( and inside at window) drinking best ever hot chocolate and looking at amazing views of the bay . No dolphins spotted yet but last season Dolphins spotted during most visits

Waters Edge cafe has stunning views over Cardigan bay. It is a family run business and the staff are very friendly. The food is of a good quality and is reasonably priced. The interior is modern and is fitted out to a high standard. I particularly liked the finishing touches with the quirky tea pots! I would highly recommend a visit. The beach a couple of minutes walk away, is also worth visiting. This is one of my favourite places in West Wales.

Visited Aberporth for a couple of days and spent quite a bit of time on the beach. In that time myself and my wife spent many visits to the Waters Edge Café. The atmosphere is very friendly and the service was above expectation. The owner took time out to discuss the local attractions and also joined us for a coffee. I was very pleased with the experience and will definitely go again when back in Aberporth.

we called in on Boxing after the Boxing Day swim and were surprised this place open as usually it's only open during the main season.The setting is lovely as there is utside seating whcih meant dogs allowed - a bonus.However we ordered two double shot mocha coffees and the cost was £6.80!!!!!That's pricey in my book and the weird thing is both coffees tasted differently. Othere reviews haven't mentioned expensive coffee prices but we were most disapoointed and as locals will not be going there again.

Amazing food & good friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Will certainly visit again in summer or winter.

Lovely little cafe with excellent food. Sadly only open in high season - June - September. We go to the area all year round would like to visit WatersEdge more often.

2nd visit to Wales this year for a weeks break, visited Aberporth on run out and decided to have lunch at WatersEdge Café, been before and enjoyed the food. Selected from the Light Bites and was not disappointed, good food well presented and good value.

Right by the beach and a car park in Aberporth, this café isn't exceptional in any way but the staff were friendly, the coffee and tea were good and we sat outside with a lovely view. What's not to like?

Had a lovely breakfast here whilst staying in Aberporth. Good food, friendly staff. Tucked away just behind the ship with sea views. Note for early risers does not open to 10.

Came here for lunch when we were on holidayLovely lunch menugreat food with a good range to choose fromexcellent view from the front window down across the beach

We call in and parked up and sat out side with the dogs the food was perfect and lovely views and great place to be. Well worth a stop off

5 of us went in for breakfast it was very clean and the staff were friendly. All the food that was on display looked very fresh. Our breakfasts were delicious and 3 of the group even had a cookie as they looked so good and they weren't disappointed. The menu you good and had varied options it is very handy if you are on the beach. Wish we had sampled a lunchtime as well, maybe next time.

Der Caffee americano war sehr gut. Welch geschmacklicher Kontrast zum zuvor besuchten Ship Inn in Tresaith.

Lovely beach side cafe, great coffee and choice of food, sea views and very friendly staff, highly recommend.

Had a very tasty stilton with fig & apple relish panini here today. The staff are very friendly and hard-working. Take-out coffee first rate too.

Popped in this morning, great spot with friendly staff and the best flat white i have tasted in a long while. Will be coming back for sure.

We have just been to this cafe a few times- i enjoy the beetroot and feta veggie burger. We all enjoyed their ice cream a lot. It came across as a friendly family run cafe which did good food and ice cream. I'd avoid the milkshakes because they weren't mixed particularly well and they were quite pricey. The food service wasn't fast but we were on holiday so had all the time in the world. Aberporth beach is lovely and with this so close and a beach shop next door, it's hard to reason why you'd go anywhere else as you had all you needed for a holiday with small kids within about 100metres. We even saw Dolphins from their patio outside, so it really deserve six stars.

Clean and tidy and average cafe , but then this is one of the two in area. Service good enough but not outstanding. Food fairly quickly done and looked fresh .

Super food , quick service , super for dry and wet days, beautiful views what more can I say fantastic

What a lovely little cafe. Staff very pleasant and spotlessly clean. Can't comment on food as we only had drinks which met our needs. Great view.

This is a lovely location and the staff are friendly, also the service was ok. But the food was sad - bought in coleslaw, frozen chips, couscous with baked potatoe !! Come on guys make it up to date and exciting. Your in a great location you really need to up your game.

This cafe is a must when visiting Aberporth. Lovely outside seating area over looking the sea. All of the staff were friendly and obviously enjoy their jobs as they were a happy bunch and they serve great coffee. Myself and my family enjoyed it so much we went back for seconds before returning to our camp site.

Lovely cafe overlooking Aberporth bay. Had great food, really high quality for a seaside cafe and staff really friendly.

very clean and plenty of room, all food was cooked fresh on the premises. the staff were very helpful and friendly.

I led a group of motorcyclists around the area and stopped here for lunch. The staff were very friendly and went the extra mile to ensure we were fed and watered before our onward journey. The view is excellent. A great find.

Not eaten here. Spent a couple of days on the front, and purchased takeout coffee and ice creams. Always friendly service. Excellent clean toilet facilities. Area out front to sit / park dogs.

We visited Waters Edge Cafe whilst on a family break to West Wales. After a few hours on the beach, we made our way to the cafe . The staff were warm and friendly and the coffee was delicious, made even nicer by the beautiful view over the bay. My son had the children's pizza and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. Nice to see a home made pizza and not something that's cash and carry bought! We will definitely be visiting again when we are in the area.

Great coffee, tasty food, a sensible menu. Enough variety so that all ages were catered for. Lamb burger really tasty.

I find it very hard to fault this cafe. I always come here for coffee as it's the nicest in the village! I've lived here all my life and I still enjoy coming here for the view. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the prices are very realistic. It's a great place to come if you're just trying to kill time like me; I'm sure the food is great too but I have yet to try it.5/5

It has been a rainy day and we walked from Tresaith to Aberporth with our 2 children and puppy in tow.Although the cafe does not allow dog inside, we sat outside drinking yummy hot chocolate in the rain watching the flocks of gannets feeding at sea.The staff were friendly and asked whether we would like to sit under the shelter which was a nice touch.

the cafe was empty 10 am. When we ordered they told us the food they didn't have ie sausages ( we wanted brackfast). When the drinks came over they were wrong. My son ordered a panini which when it finally arrived was inedible, rock hard. It was so over cooked that there was no longer any cheese inside. The good thing this cafe has going for it is it's nice inside and the staff are friendly. They did give us a refund on the panini and the over charge on the drinks.

You hear phrases like hidden treasure branded around all to much but the waters edge cafe seriously is a hidden treasure. Your go to place for light bites ice creams and coffee in the area. The name says it all so the views are something else but that's just an added bonus to the quality service and food offered.

There welcome is fantastic staff very friendly and helpful you must try these tea cakes they are huge and simply delicious been here 3 times and can't wait for them next visit 5 star service all round thank you guys.

Lovely clean café right across the road from the beach. Staff very friendly and service good. Had breakfast here and have called in for coffee a number of times. Food freshly cooked to order and good value. Lovely terrace to sit and enjoy the view.

We called in for lunch while we were at the beach, nice food good service and a very upmarket décor for a seaside café. Great view of the beach from the terrace.

Have been to Aberporth a couple of times on visits to West Wales. Called in here for a coffee break. Lovely cafe. Delicious coffee & refreshing cold drinks. Very nice snacks/cakes. Dog friendly if sitting outside. Great views of the sea from the Waters Edge Cafe. Try it.

Ate lunch on 3rd July. Salads were superb. Enjoyed an ice cream later. Would recommend to anyone. The staff were efficient friendly and helpful. Good location too!

We stumbled across the cafe and we were lucky that the weather was good and we were able to sit outside and take in the amazing view! The staff were really welcoming and friendly! Food was fantastic, highly recommend the rarebit! We also tried the amazing Sundaes which were delicious! We would definitely return!

Hidden just around from the pub and chipshop in Aberporth, this is my favourite stop for a cuppa and a quiet. Although I only tend ever to have a drink, i have heard others comenting on the good standard of food. I think the fact people come back in to say thank you to the staff, after sitting outside, is a measure of the success. The view over the small bay from the decking is delightul, and the staff very friendly.

This is a lovely cafe, smart and not too expensive. Whilst spending a day on the beach we visited several times for drinks and ice creams. All of the drinks were lovely, the sweet coffee frappe was especially nice and my little girl was extremely happy with her 'enormous' strawberry milkshake. We planned to eat here at tea time, but as we visited at the very start of the season they close early. They were more than happy to recommend places for us to try for an evening meal, which was very helpful. The only thing slightly negative is that they have a restricted menu out of season (they did have a sign, but I admit, I missed it) so we were disappointed when we returned for breakfast on Saturday to be told they could only offer us a bacon sandwich and not the full English we fancied. Still, all in all, a lovely place to have a drink and a snack.

Stopped off here with my son after a long walk. Got exceptional service from all the staff, nothing was too much trouble. excellent chocolate frappe!!!:)

What a Gem, This was my first visit to this hidden paradise in wales, I'm a huge fan of my coffee's and was delighted with the friendly and helpful staff who helped me with my exploring of the local area. The service was superb and the coffee was delightful, The food was tasty and well prepared I would recommend this tiny Gem to anyone visiting.

I'll be honest this is the first time I have ever written a review on here - there's a very good reason for it and that reason is I normally read the review and let them shape my decisions however part of me felt slightly rebellious against previous ways when I changed my reliance on previous reviews in coming here. Reading the reviews it looked terrible rude staff slow service.Let me tell you I couldn't have found it to be any more different to those terrible reviews. Upon arriving I sat and admired the truly amazing and beautiful views. I placed an order for drinks and was served promptly an amazing coffee (I travel a lot so consider myself a travel connoisseur) feeing peckish I ordered some food - quite simply again really prompt service, well presented and beautifully tasting. Good value for money.I also read bad reviews regarding the manageress who I spoke too - found her charming and she was only too happy to ensure I had everything I needed.Truly a must visit.

Totally incompetent staff who are unable to fulfil a simple order for 4 drinks in under 35 minutes when not even busy !! That is to say that a can of coke is immediately served and then the next 3 drinks come at 10 minute intervals with the last one 35 minutes after ordering. That is having asked the staff 3 times to sort it.We would never return, the place is a joke.

Wow what a hidden gem. After hours of playing on beach and swimming in the somewhat (cold) sea. We were in need of a warm up. So we went to this cafe for some hot choc. Whilst there we had some amazing coffee and hot choc the service was outstanding so we decided to eat here too. ( save cooking when we get back). The kids had children's meals and I must say that would have been enough for me. Needless to say they didn't finish it. I had a panini and my husband had fish pie. Delicious. I will be coming back tomorrow couldn't fault the service or the food. And the coffee was spectacular. Definitely a 5 from us

Brilliant food and coffee and great service! After reading some of the reviews I am very surprised and glad that I didn't pay attention as I had the most pleasant experience at this cafe. Defiantly worth a visit and you cannot beat the picturesque view of Aberporth beach from the terrace. Would recommend to all.

Have eaten many times in this cafe and cannot fault it. Great coffee too and the views from the terrace over aberporth bay are stunning. Will definitely visit again!!

Visited here yesterday as a party of 5 which included 2 teenagers. Kids had jacket potatoes which were a bit firm to say the least. My husband and his mum had sandwiches which were to be fair ok. I asked for a salad and since I am on a strict diet for medical reasons asked could I have a basic salad of lettuce cucumber tomatoes peppers and beetroot but was refused as they only sold salad as a set meal inc coleslaw potato salad cous cous and meat despite the fact they had a salad bar.I was told it was £6.95 and i had to have it all or nothing I explained the situation but had a flat no off the owner who totally had no skills in the hospitality sector- she was both rude and unfriendly.had the children not been so hungry I would have left instead I ordered a black coffee which was weak and nothing like the picture displayed would never return and advise families to avoid like the plague- just money grabbers who haven't a clue !!!!!

We ordered 2 coffees 2 paninis and a childs chicken nuggets and chips. We were the only customers in the place and it took 15 minutes to get our coffees. It then took a further 15 minutes and they only came out with our two paninis and we had to wait another 15 minutes for the chicken nuggets and chips to come out. We had to wait nearly an hour for food in total and they couldnt even get 3 simple dishes out together. It realtl is unacceptable.The ingredients were cheap, nothing was homemade at the prices are high. The portions are also very small. One plus point is that the coffees are delicous but again in very small cups.Don't give this place your hard earned money.Decor wise the place is ok. It has a cold atmosphere inside the cafe but was clean enough.

We've popped in for takeaway coffee several times over the past few months, and the staff are very friendly. Their coffee is really delicious - we've tried their cappucino and americano - because they know how to make it properly! The cafe is welcoming, clean, bright and cheery and has a fantastic view out to sea.

Fantastic food, great overall menu available and the coffee is amazing. Could do with a few different options for the children's meals not just chips and something. The place is very clean, staff were helpful and polite. Great mix of food for adults available and we were there out of season as well. Great place we will be back. Thank you.

We went to the Waters Edge cafe to satisfy my coffee fix, I must say the Flat White was one of the best I have ever had. The staff were very friendly and we hope to visit again soon.

We arrived at this beach side cafe after a tiring 5 mile walk looking for some simple lunchtime fare. The cafe serves the usual seaside fare - ice cream, sandwiches, light meals, tea, coffee, cakes, etc. We were duly rewarded with satisfying, freshly made sandwiches that hit the spot.The cafe also benefits from a location that directly overlooks the wonderful sandy Aberporth bay, which although not large is demonstrably a welcome place for families of all ages.Our visit was made particularly memorable by two things...The friendly, warm and chatty staff, who also took time to discuss local options for taxis and even went the extra mile and helped us out of an awkward situation when the local taxi company did not respond to my call.And on a culinary note, I can only heap salivating praise on the hot chocolate... This was not some cheap, sugary, supermarket powder concoction with a squirt of spray cream to make it "luxurious" but instead a proper, rich and slightly bitter dark chocolate liquid (Italian hot chocolate made the Spanish way apparently!!).We made a return visit the next day with that hot chocolate drink firmly planned in my mind, and were similarly warmly welcomed.It was a real pleasure to visit, and is a goto place on any future visit to Aberporth.

Unfortunately I had a very disappointing experience at Waters edge cafe today. I ordered a Ploughman's, a lasagne for myself, and one for my 2 children to share, favouring this option for them above the limited chip options available on the childrens menu. The total bill was nearly £30 - not overly cheap. The ploughmans was not what you would call exciting (a slice of ham, cheddar, stilton, bread and a bit of salad) One of the lasagnes was burned to a crisp when I cut into it. The manager explained that the microwave had obviously been put on too high a setting (rather too honest I thought for a meal costing £7.50!!). She offered to replace it. A replacement was delivered when the rest of my family had almost finished, and it looked this time soggy and underdone! There was no goodwill offer of even a free drink by way of an apology, and when one was requested, the manager looked puzzled as to why this may have been necessary. In the end, I returned the soggy meal, and she reluctantly refunded part of the price. Everyone makes mistakes - serving burned food is forgivable, if followed by a positive attitude towards customers. A real shame. This is a lovely spot, and customers which could potentially return time and time again should be valued.

We had a lovely lunch here. The cafe is clean and welcoming. I can recommend the fish finger sandwich! Will definitely go back.

We just popped into Aberporth to take a look along the coast road from Aberaeron. We stopped at this Cafe and had a light lunch, the cafe is lovely with a lovely view, the staff were all so very friendly and welcoming. We will definately be calling back soon. Lovely to go to places where customer satisfaction is still worth something. Thank you

We had a lovely lunch on the patio, the staff were friendly and the choice of burgers good - lamb and feta was very tasty! Good value in a lovely town.

One of the challenges of leaving sizeable towns & cities is the challenge of still being able to acquire great coffee - no such problem in Aberporth. The Cafe / diner is traditional of small coastal villages but the wa welcome & greAt coffee are comparable with them all. Really nice staff make getting the daily ( x 3) fix all the more enjoyable.To make it a full 5 stars ... Probably a comfy armchair to sit and check in on what is happening at work!
