Surfside Cafe - Caswell Bay — Restaurant in Wales

So this is a small cafe with awesome views out over the bay. Had two quite disappointing sandwiches here - one tuna mayo, one ham sandwich. Essentially each were two slices of bread, spread, and the filling. Ham and tuna fillings were fine. Cost £4.50 each. Think my feedback to the cafe would be if I’m out for lunch I’d prefer a bit more effort on presentation - why not offer a little side salad or crisps chips on the side? I’d happily pay a little extra for that. If that’s not possible perhaps describe these sandwiches as “cheap eats” on your menu. That would help manage my expectations. Found the staff too busy to smile- this is a place that focuses on fast turnover and the place felt uncomfortably busy - as an example had to sit at a dirty table and wait for it to be cleared (though this was fairly quick). Was more a manic and noisy than a chilled surf vibe. Though the sand on my seat did feel authentic surf! I’d pop in for coffee again but probably wouldn’t eat. It’s the sort of place I might enjoy in the dead of winter when fewer people are around and the log...

We have visited the cafe at Caswell numerous times and have never been disappointed, coffee and food always piping hot and served by friendly staff. Bearing this in mind, we decided to take our guests for the weekend to Caswell for a coffee this afternoon. We were in the cafe at 4.40, looking forward to our drinks, only to be told the coffee machine was turned off. Most of the chairs had already been stacked so we left. The shutters were down and the cafe completely shut up before 5.00. Our friends were unimpressed, as were we, and we enjoyed a very nice hot drink at the neighbouring kiosk, along with a number of other people who had also been turned away from Surfside. If you advertise as being open until 5.00, one could reasonably expect to be served at 4.40. Very disappointed and you have now lost previously...

Visit this beach regularly when in this area as it has everything if the tide is low. There's car parking, toilets, a cafe and kiosks where beach requisites, ice creams and refreshments can be bought. Lovely castle building sand and Rock pools round the cliffs. There's a flow of icy cold water across the beach out to sea which out youngsters have always referred to as the Freezing, because it is!!!! Lifeguards patrol here too so a great place for a fun day out unless the tide is high. If so,there's no sand to play on!!!!!! For any adults who want to get off the sand there's are beautiful cliff walks accessible from here too. The views are spectacular on a bright day. My sister has lived locally for over 30 years and it has entertained our children and now our...
