Pebbles Yard Gallery and Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Wales

Expensive and rude. We went to St David's for the day with our two very well behaved dogs. We were delighted when we saw 'dog Friendly' displayed on the welcome board to this establishment. Our delight, however, was short-lived. We arrived shortly before 5pm (which we now know is their closing time). After ordering a couple of coffees and 3 cakes and spending over £20, we took our seat. As we were tucking into our incredibly dry walnut cake, about 15 men in hats came up the stairs, we assume they were using the space for a meeting. Our two pups became startled and started to bark. We were reassuring them telling them that there was nothing to worry about as the man behind the counter shouted across the cafe 'Are they going to settle down or what because I can't live with this - you'll have to go'. The dogs had now stopped barking, but we felt so uncomfortable we had to ask for takeaway cups and leave. The attitude of both the people working there was disgusting and we were made to feel so unwelcome in an instant. I said 'you have a sign downstairs to say dogs are welcome' to which he responded 'yeah, well behaved ones'. I can only assume that they don't have dogs, or they would understand that they do have a tendency to bark at times. We now realise they were basically chasing us out as it was closing time. Appalling. All I can say is if you don't want a lovely day ruined... AVOID. There are so many other lovely dog friendly venues in the area - this one is nothing special and certainly not worth the...

This intriguing venue proves that if you’re the only place open for lunch in town, you can be the most popular.

I wasn’t too concerned about the 2 out of 5 hygiene rating sticker in the window, hidden by the wheelie bin out front, after all, we have so far luckily survived the first wave of Corona.

I only noticed it because we spent 25 minutes waiting for two sandwiches to be made for takeaway.

And we can’t blame the chef for coming down, chatting to people for 5 minutes while we waited, slamming his foot into the bin to compact its contents. He was explaining how difficult it was to get back up to speed after so long off work. I suspect it would have been easier if he stayed in the kitchen while customers were waiting for orders, but we can’t blame the guy for being social I suppose.

My wife’s can of Diet Coke tasted funny, and upon inspection was almost three months out of date. We would have driven it back to the shop, but didn’t have time to wait another 25 minutes for a replacement. Evidence attached.

St David’s is lovely though, I would just recommend importing your own picnic. It would be quicker and safer than...

A wet morning in St David’s.. fond memories of Pebbles.. arrived at 5 mins to 10am(door open) told rather abruptly to wait outside as they weren’t ready .. Others were gathering and told tersely at 10.05am .. they still ‘weren’t ready’ ..I continued to wait,.. watched as a family of 6, who obviously didn’t like this abrupt attitude marched off in search of customer consideration elsewhere. Finally they said they were ‘Open’ 👍 I asked if they had any sandwiches.. As a bleary eyed camper, I’d failed to read the two BIG signs outside which said the kitchen was closed. Again this information was delivered in a confrontational way.. So! All that waiting and preparation… to serve coffee! I left, and said why I was leaving. Which was met with a cheery “Goodbye” All piffling I guess, but the complacent, off hand attitude of the staff was appalling. Someone needs a career change, preferably not customer facing.! Had a spectacular breakfast (and coffee) at...
