Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Porthcawl

"Anna-Loka, Cardiff’s first 100% vegan café , serves a full menu of vegan alternatives to classic dishes. The café, which has around 20 tables, serves up free-from breads, custom-made pizzas, pancakes, doughnuts and smoky, crispy vegan rashers. And to wash it all down there’s a bar providing Kombucha, or what the ancient Chinese called the ‘tea of immortality’ – an alcohol-free, fermented tea beverage which tastes like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne."

"Anna Loka first blessed Albany Road back in July 2015 with owner Adam, a Hare Krishna monk, opening the doors. Adam’s passion for spreading the veganism message translates directly into the delicious food. Solely vegan, the enticing plant-based menu offers a range of fantastic dishes that will please any lover of food, regardless of eating habits."

"As the city's first 100% vegan restaurant, Anna Loka offers some of the best-looking plant-based grub in town. Itt also comes up trumps on the decor front, with amazing wall murals and stripped-wood furniture, it's a cool, low-key hangout for breakfast, lunch or dinner."

"It's not a vegetarian restaurant, but it offers some tasty grub for those who are vegan or don't eat meat. There's something for non-meat and non-dairy eaters on the brunch, tapas, main and pudding menu, including a vegan BLT and chocolate orange torte!. Where: 1 Hills Street, St David's, Cardiff, CF10 2LE"

"Cosy Club have lots of different options for gin tasting classes. You can choose from the basic package – Exclusive use of their private room either between 12-5pm or 6pm- late. Tasting of 3 different gins then tasting of 3 different gins paired with tonics, syrups and garnishes."

"For a great vegan breakfast in the centre of Cardiff, check out Cosy Club. We wanted a yummy vegan breakfast to snack on before visiting Cardiff castle. Cosy club is part of the Loungers chain which was founded in 2002 by three friends."

"This trendy and busy coffee joint is a must when in Cardiff. Enjoy a delicious hot long black or a creamy flat white and save room for a pastry. The baristas are Olympic level talent so you’re sure to get a good cup every time."

"Long before wood-fired pizzas became hip, Café Citta were serving up authentic Italian food from their cosy Church Street pizzeria. Marvel at the pizzaiolo in the open kitchen working his magic with the log burning oven before devouring one of Citta’s thin golden crusted pizzas. But, there’s more to Citta than just pizza - just take a look at the specials blackboard as it works its way around the dining room."

"No one comes away from Citta without enjoying one of their delicious homemade specials or regular pizza or pasta dishes. It's not much bigger than a postage stamp of a place, but it adds to the atmosphere and having the kitchen right there in the room ensures you can see every step of your dinner being made. Where : 4 Church St, CF10 1BG"

"Seriously, how is anyone meant to go carb-free when there's food like this in the world?. Proof that Wales does Italian well."

"For a bit of ooh la la, take your other half to this bijoux bistro, which is a short walk from the city centre. The décor is as charmingly Gallic as its menu and you can enjoy some of the best boeuf bourgignon in town. There are some great dinner deals, too, so it’s ideal if you want to wine and dine on a budget."

"For a tempting treat, a scrumptious sandwich and a thirst quenching cuppa at our famous boat cafe, Storm in a Teacup. Located on picturesque Watermouth harbour between Ilfracombe and Berrynarbor/ Combe Martin. Rated 5 on Trip Advisor and described as ‘a Little gem of a beach cafe’, ‘Perfect’, ‘an absolute delight’ & ‘Quirky location very good coffee and cakes’."

"Formerly known as Anatoni's, Da Mara (stylised as 'da MARA') is a lovely restaurant near Roath Lake that offers authentic Italian food and great service. They specialise in proper Italian pizza - the pizzas have their own separate menu, in fact - but there are plenty of other dishes available too if pizza isn't your thing.

"With Wales' first Stefano Ferrara log burning pizza oven, Da Mara is making pizzas worthy of a Naples pizzeria. There's also a wide selection of à la carte dishes."

"Buffalo Bar is a vintage inspired modern bar, offering the ultimate place to throw a legendary stag party celebration until the small hours of the morning!. This is one of Cardiff’s most stylish bars, offering the perfect place to kick back and relax with the lads on your Cardiff stag party. Whether you come in day or night, you’ll love the atmosphere and vibes this place has to offer."

"A haven for cool kids about town, the Buffalo features retro furniture, tasty food, life-affirming cocktails and alternative tunes. There's a small beer garden at the rear, while upstairs cutting-edge indie bands..."

"CAMRA award-winning pub of the year The Grange is owned by the same team who run The Lansdowne - so you know you’re in safe hands. It’s a very friendly place, the food and drink is top notch and there’s live music every week. There’s also a skittles alley and a cracking beer garden – and it’s a short walk from the city centre if you want to carry on drinking past closing time."

"St. Mary the Virgin Church is a deconsecrated and ruined church in the parish of Caerau with Ely, Cardiff. It was built in the thirteenth century and closed for the last time in 1973. The ruins of St. Mary’s Church stand on the site of a Celtic hill fort on a natural plateau at the Caerau end of a hill range extending from Leckwith to Caerau."

"If you are looking for a sweet treat, you have to head to C37 Cakery. There are many homemade cakes such as brownies, cupcakes, sponges, cheesecakes, and their (huge) signature custard slices. There are even some savouries, including pies and sausage rolls."
