About

A light-filled café on the Beaumaris seafront with views across the Menai Straits to the Caernarfon shore — a far better stop than the tourist cafés clustered around the castle entrance five minutes' walk away. The menu runs from morning coffee and eggs to soup and sandwiches at lunch, with a locally sourced approach that has earned it a loyal following among residents and repeat visitors alike. Come for the view as much as the food.
