It has a proper local feel to it, with a warm welcome from the friendly staff, and this along with the quality bread and cakes makes it very popular. As you'd expect, it sells a wide variety of range of loaves, pastries, pasties, cakes, and sandwiches, and has space to sit down and eat there, within their conservatory cafe area or the walled outside terrace. A great little spot for lunch during a shopping trip to Cowbridge.

A traditional long established bakery with a wide range of bread, cakes, and pastries for sale…read more Aside from purchasing items you can also choose to eat them on the premises themselves, either in the tea room, the sunny conservatory or like us outside in the walled courtyard area. After a busy afternoon shopping, it was lovely to sit down with a drink and a cake in the sunshine. My friend is on a diet so was pleased that they offer low fat options and chose a slice of the skinny banana and raisin loaf, which had less than 5% fat! The prices at the bakery were very reasonable and the staff very friendly. It really is the ideal place for a quick cup of coffee in the middle of a shopping trip. We were there on a weekday afternoon and had no problems finding a seat outside, however at weekends I have sometimes chosen to go elsewhere as it's been so busy.

I used to pop in to Coast (a good mile inland may I add) quite a bit when I lived in Llantwit…read moreMajor, as my mum used to enjoy lunch here. The sandwiches were always fresh and scrumptious. I decided to return the other day for a quick check back before I reviewed it for Yelp, and I'm glad I did as it seems Coast has gone through a couple of changes. It looks like they open in the evenings for tapas and cocktails now, they even a beer pump installed. I don't why but I find the fact that the spirits behind the bar, which have their tops covered in Clingfilm really off putting. What happened to the caps? Why do I not like it, I know it keeps it fresh which is great, but this image is burned into my mind, returning in my sleep. I need help. I didn't have the time nor the room to check if their substantial sandwiches were still up to scratch, but the black coffee I did quaff was very bitter. Coast remains a friendly café that has a good rapport with its loyal customers, but I found the service to be a bit slow.

Turned up at 1:32pm on a sunny Sunday looking for a quick lunch. Sign outside said Open until 2pm…read more After sitting at a table in the otherwise empty "restaurant" we were told the kitchen had closed at 1:30, moment earlier. No offer of a limited choice menu or a simple sandwich. Staff clearly not interested in our custom or money. We won't be back and will tell others of our experience. Frustratingly unprofessional and small minded.
