Based in Penclawdd on the Gower Peninsula,
Cariad Cafe pride themselves on providing good
quality, home-cooked food, made using local
Welsh produce wherever possible. They serve
breakfasts until 12, lunches after 12 and ice
creams, cakes, coffee and tea all day. The cafe
serves a range of breakfasts to suit any appetite,
including a Welsh breakfast containing the famous
Penclawdd cockles and laverbread. For lunch
there is a choice of sandwiches, baguettes and
salads as well as a soup of the day. For a more
filling meal try the lasagne, builder’s brunch, or
one of the many daily specials. A wide selection
of homemade cakes and treats are available
throughout the day including gluten free options.
In the afternoons, the brownies, scones with
clotted cream and jam, toasted teacakes, muffins,
cookies, and Welsh cakes go down a treat. Ice
cream sundaes are a firm favourite, as well as
cones or tubs to take away. As for drinks, take your
pick from teas, coffees and cold drinks including
beers and wine during the day. On Friday nights,
the cafe runs a three-course bistro set menu
which changes on a monthly basis. The bistro is
fully licensed and offers beers from the Gower
Brewery and spirits from the Penderyn distillery.
Booking is essential for the bistro evenings.
Whole cakes are available to purchase on pre-
order including the cafe’s famous chocolate,
Victoria sponge, coffee and walnut, carrot cake,
raspberry and almond and lemon drizzle. In terms
of food, see the specials boards for a selection of
the finest dishes that Cariad Cafe rustles up on a
regular basis. Expect to see bangers and mash,
curries, quiches, pizza, fish cakes, calamari and
much more. Open till 4pm through the week, 3pm
on Sundays and till 11pm on bistro nights, Cariad
Cafe is well worth a look if you’re in the area.
