Having checked the Caffi Mawr reviews in advance we arrived at 10:45am so we could walk the dogs on the beach for half hour before buying our coffee and setting off on a longer beach walk. We were amused by the review from the guy who had arrived too early and complained. The Caffi Mawr response tickled us! Splendid coffee; prompt service and polite staff; highly recommend a visit. Thank you!

It's a lovely cafe which has greatly improved over the years we've been coming to Newport Beach. Yesterday our lattes and ice creams were delightful! The mint choc chip in particular was a standout - the best I've ever had! For those upset with prices, they are in line with all barista coffees across the country, including the local cafes in Fishguard (those were actually higher this time!) Overall, it's a great hangout location and we look forward to returning soon!

Great beach for activity, loads of room and the tide going out means plenty of room to enjoy the sea. We strolled along the beach then enjoyed the beach fgront cafe for a coffee and cake. Its also famous locally for great ice cream.
