Porthclais Kiosk: Reviews & Ratings
This is speciality coffee, from Bay Coffee Roasters, based in Cardigan / Aberteifi, rather than your average coffee kiosk. The coffee is delicious and the cakes on offer are equally tasty. You do pay for the quality of what you are getting, though I can imagine that for some the prices might be a turn off! I highly recommend it, particularly to coffee lovers after a good hike.
One of the best coffees I have ever had! Only problem was that the place is very popular and very small so a bit of a queue, but the staff very apologetic and friendly. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about my flat white.
Right next to the pretty little harbor near St. Davids you will find a lovely "kiosk" in a former red-brick pump room. In just a few square meters, friendly staff whip up delicious coffee, cakes - and other delicacies that we didn't get to try. The ice cream (Nutella!) was the best in Wales so far and our dog Timber loved the dog ice cream!

Nestled beside the scenic Porthclais Harbour in St Davids, the Porthclais Kiosk is far from an ordinary coffee stop. Housed in a charming red-brick former pump room, this tiny kiosk serves up speciality coffee from the acclaimed Bay Coffee Roasters of Cardigan. Each cup is a well-crafted invitation to savor bold and balanced flavors that linger long after your walk along the rugged Welsh coast.
The fresh, lovingly prepared cakes here stand shoulder to shoulder with the coffee’s quality—rich, moist, and perfectly portioned for a thoughtful pause. From classic Welsh cakes to indulgent carrot cake, the baked goods are a treat that complements the coffee's unique boldness. Patrons often mention standout delights like their Nutella ice cream, which has quickly earned a reputation as the best in Wales, extending a warm welcome not just to humans but to canine visitors with their special dog ice cream.
Space inside the kiosk is limited, and during peak times queues are inevitable, a testament to its growing local fame. Yet, the friendly and apologetic staff elevate the experience, turning a brief wait into a moment of genuine hospitality. The kiosk’s seasonal offerings, including delectably crafted toasties, underscore a commitment to quality over quantity and a menu that respects the slow, thoughtful pace of coastal life.

It’s an artisanal gem where quality ingredients and genuine care converge, leaving visitors eager to return and reawaken their senses to Wales’ coastal charm.
