Bay 5 Coffee House — Restaurant in Barry

This really is a gem. Firstly, hygiene is exellent, a must in my book.

The staff are so kind and so helpful, we observed them clearing a table and offering it go a larger party so they were not crampt on a smaller table. The staff also moved things around to make it easier to pass. They are so considerate of others.

Service is always with a smile. The staff welcomed us in and everyone else who came in. Tables can be reserved. A fantastic thank you as people leave encouraging them back.

Now for the food. What a selection, the menu is large and extensive. Cakes, cream teas, crepes and pancakes are specialities and we tried 2 of these and were impressed. They also do sandwiches, toasties and more.

There are an array of drinks too more than 5 kinds of hot chocolate. Coffee are extensive too as well as teas. They do decaf teas and coffee.

The toilet is very clean. It's disabled friendly and has a cleaning chart on it.

Seating is available inside and out with amazing views.

Prices are reasonable and excellent value for money, the quality is excellent.

If you want a cream tea though, you do need to book because that is special! So get planning.

Next time you are in Barry make sure you visit. Genuine 5 star...

Being locals, we often stop here for a coffee/lunch break and have also enjoyed several evenings here. Last weekend we hired it for a family event (17 of us ranging from toddlers to pensioners) at which we enjoyed afternoon tea with glasses of bubbly. What can I say? It surpassed our expectations. The food was amazing and the vegetarians and vegans in our group were catered for exceptionally well. The sea views are truly amazing here - even on a wet and windy March afternoon. This is a lovely venue; we appreciated the fresh flowers on the tables and the bunting which they had kindly agreed to put up. However the outstanding feature without doubt, is the staff - from the booking process with Elena to the amazing Jane and Jeannie who treated us like royalty on the day - nothing was too much trouble - it was a first class experience that we will always remember with great fondness. Thank you all - including the staff whose names I don’t know who also helped out on the day. Highly recommend this fabulous venue. Thank you all...

We just stopped here for a quick drink after a walk on the beach. There are a small number of tables and chairs tucked away on the beachside of the building. So we sat in the late morning sunshine and enjoyed the view. I wasn’t sure what drink we fancied but the lady serving was really helpful and chatted through the options. As we were coffeed out from earlier we had a milkshake. We had salted caramel made with ice cream. Delicious. I had no expectations from a little beachfront cafe but now this is where we will be found on our trips to Barry Island. Friendly service going above and beyond makes such a difference. Will try breakfast next time as the menu...
