Latte with a stunning view, what a spot. Fairly expensive mind you but worth it. Friendly staff too. Please note you can’t pay using your phone, only card or cash.

We have been going regularly to these cafes at this fabulous beach and more recently the new cafe for many years! Only to find all the staff extremely helpful and courteous. They sell the best hot chocolate ever, and various delicious coffees along with perfectly acceptable range of wines and beers with the ‘Oxwich Bay IPA’ (from our local Gower Brewery) being my husband’s favourite. The hot food is freshly cooked while you wait (not microwaved as with many establishments of this type). The cafe also sells a superb range of beach toys clothing and many items for your dogs. Water for your pets is always available! The management of these cafes are committed to providing a valuable service and work all year round. I personally feel that if you purchase food and drink from the cafe the management are more than happy for you to use their table and chairs! It wouldn’t be fair to other customers or management to just purchase a drink and consume your own food whilst sitting at their table and chairs! We shall certainly continue to frequent these establishments with our dog.

Really nice breakfast baps of various choices, hot and cold drinks plus snacks and munchies right by the water. Perfect chilled location

I was pleasantly surprised to find this cafe as not been to Oxwich for a long time and it looks new to me with indoor seating and open in winter. I nearly walked past as it was hard to tell it was open from the outside when there are no customers in there. There were boards outside but definitely benefit from a flag or open sign. Traditional cafe menu with lovely gift & beach accessories including hats etc to buy. Gower coffee served and plenty food choices, sweets, cake crisps etc Dog friendly & quick service. Good value, nice service will definitely pop in again.

Nice cafe doing local ice cream and various other snacks and beach goods. There are a few tables and chairs outside for customers. It’s a great location, right on the beach front by the car park. When we went it was cash only but they may be accepting cards now.
