The Waters Edge Cafe

Had 5 food rating on door but was very surprised when l asked to try two different flavours of ice cream they asked for my empty trial scoop back which l had used to use again for second flavour! Have given two stars as a rating for the ice cream. Otherwise no stars because of food hygiene.

Good food ,fast service.Lovely friendly staff Perfect no fuss cafe with a variety of economic food and friendly staff.

This is a straightforward unpretentious cafe with solid coffee and wide variety of inexpensive food ranging from full English breakfast, to burgers, to baguettes and salads. It's on the corner and benefits from being light and bright from windows down three sides. It seems to be a favourite with manual workers and average Joe alike.

The WiFi works well, so if you want a change of scene but need to bash out some emails with coffee in hand, or requiring a light bite, then this will do nicely. I liked the background music as well. It doesn't have a car park, so, as Aberporth is very anti-free parking for visitors, it's worth noting the road opposite just round the corner you can park for free when visiting.

This is not a posh stop, but everything is good and the staff will accommodate your individual tastes in preparation, so for these things it must get 5 stars.

Tip: If you like your baguette cold, then say so - mine came warm, which was a bit of a surprise. very impressed with their customer service. Food tasted great!!

I would definately recommend!!!

Great location and friendly staff. It serves typical cafe food, but the quality is good for the price. I had a lovely salad with some nice cuts of Welsh ham. Really good ice cream with interesting flavours (white choc and raspberry, rocky road, candy floss).

Ploughman's lunch, they used the crust end of a sliced loaf. Chicken salad, they used mechanically formed chicken roll slices. View from the balcony is great but there's nothing at the cafe that signifies you're in Wales.

Don't sell just chips. Only as a meal. My daughter has allergy and food intolerances. So could only have chips. But they wouldn't serve just chips. Absolutely shocking really. As it was genuinely only chips she could have. So went around the corner and had just chips from that chippy, no problem. Its difficult enough when someone has food intolerances. Then places like this are so awkward and unhelpful.

Brilliant food, really accommodating to my vegan partner. Great choice of drinks and a great location. Would definitely return.

Visited the shop rather than the cafe, staff were super friendly and relaxed, items were well priced. We also rented a couple of kayaks (good value for money at £12.50 per hour, 2 hours standard) and whilst it was a good workout taking them down to the beach and back, we were more than happy to take our money here, rather than somewhere more convenient, the gentleman shop owner was just lovely. He advised us where to see dolphins, which we did, coming within a foot of them, which was one of the best experiences of the trip, also saw seals and a peregrine falcon, lots of seabirds, marine life and a beautiful way to see the landscape and coast. Would fully recommend👍

An unfortunate encounter with a very rude, monosyllabic member of staff. We had popped in to enquire about kayak hire and after asking if it was possible to hire that day. A flat ‘no’. Nothing else. After asking if there was the possibility of hiring later that week… ‘dunno’. Would you be able to find out? ‘No’.
I have to say that this individual did a complete disservice to a very friendly, warm village where we have only had positive experiences.
A shame, as it’s out is off returning to the cafe too.
Suffice to say we won’t ask there again and hired off another local company who were extremely polite and helpful!
