As the summer draws to a close and the crisp autumn air rolls over Pembrokeshire, our landscape begins to change. Leaves and pinecones now scrunch under your boots as you take in the new scenery. The colder air bites at your nose, which is why a nice, warm and welcoming cafe is the perfect spot to stop by on your walk or to meet with friends. Here are some of our favourite cafes in North Pembrokeshire.
Crwst, Cardigan
The first location on our list is Crwst, a cafe located in the heart of Cardigan. You will actually cross over into Ceredigion to visit this particular cafe, although it’s still only a 20-minute drive from our Newport site at Matthew Baker Caravans.
Crwst is a beloved café and bakery which serves brunch, coffee, and fresh bakes. They make everything in-house — from brioche doughnuts to cinnamon swirls — and also supply fresh bread from their bakery using organic flour. In the autumn, it’s a lovely spot to warm up with a latte and a pastry after a nice long walk in the fresh air.
They also sell a range of spreads which range from honey butter, to a hazelnut caramel spread. Autumn just got a lot sweeter!
La Fontana, Cardigan
Another location we recommend in Cardigan is a family-run Italian-style coffee house/snack bar. La Fontana offers freshly-ground coffees, hot chocolates, cakes, paninis and salads (and ice creams in warmer months). In the autumn months, it’s a delightful and welcoming nook — perfect for a slice of cake and a steaming hot drink.
Blas at Fronlas
The next location on our list that we would recommend this autumn is Blas at Fronlas in the market town of Newport, Pembrokeshire. This is a cosy café just a stones throw away from our Newport site, and 10 minutes from Dinas. They serve homemade quiches, salads, panini, soups, cakes and pastries. All of their food is freshly made each day.
In cold weather, you can expect a wood burner to keep things snug and a menu that leans into comforting, seasonal dishes.
Cove Corner, Fishguard
For our customers that are visiting Fishguard we highly recommend Cove Corner. As the name suggests this cafe is situated on the corner of the square in Fishguard and serves hot drinks, brunch, and even cocktails! It is open everyday and is dog friendly. Boosting a lovely atmosphere within, and if you’re feeling guilty after all the treats, they even hold a running club on Sunday!
Mannings
Mannings in Fishguard offers a unique twist on the cafe experience. It’s a vibrant café serving coffee, food and cakes, with a small shop section within that offers fresh, locally sourced produce and groceries.

Melin Tregwynt
A great combination; a working woollen Mill, shop and café on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and minutes from the Wales Coast Path. They use local Welsh produce to provide the best in taste and quality. They are open for breakfast, light snacks, lunch, locally baked cakes, and great coffee, with a changing range of seasonal specials.
