Very popular cafe facing the Esplanade on Barry Island…read more As to a short description, think traditional cafe - but with recycled furniture and an updated menu for the 21st Century. So you can still have a full English breakfast (until 11:30, but there's an all-day version too), but there are veggie and vegan variants, as well as the usual sandwiches, baguettes, paninis, omelettes, quiches, salads, baked potatoes, and a choice of soups. There are also modern brunch favourites such as poached eggs and smashed avocado on sourdough toast, and eggs benedict on toasted English muffins. Portion sizes are generally perfect for a light lunch, but there is a good selection of cakes and puddings if you're hungrier. The cafe has a small number of tables out at the front, and is dog-friendly (designated tables, In fact) - and so, popular with dog walkers. Service is friendly, usually quick, and it's worth booking as they can get very busy. In the summer they also open Friday and Saturday evenings until 9:30 (last order 8:30pm) with a more restaurant style menu. Recommended.

Very nice little cafe just by the railway bridge, perfectly located between Romilly Park and the…read morelake and seafront at Cold Knap. They sell a good range of coffees and teas, and nice cakes (huge custard slices). They have tables inside but most of the seating is outside. You can book one of the couple of huts if you want a more private space for a tea party. It gets busy in the summer but they do takeaway as well.

A perfectly charming little cafe with very friendly staff and a lovely menu of home-cooked foods…read moreand various hot and cold beverages. For too long the Bridge Cafe stood empty and forgotton, it was lovely to see it re-opened and in such a lovely fashion. While it can get very busy and at times it is difficult to get a table, turnover is fairly quick and a short stroll around the park or nearby gardens should leave time for a table to become available. Two minutes walk from the beach or park, this is the perfect location.

Wonderful. I can highly recommend a cocktail or the best coffee on the Island. Great place to warm up in the winter after walking the dog on the beach and always a treat for every dog.
