    I came here with my family on a recent visit to Penarth and I was so happy with the amazing food and the wonderful service that we came back the next day. I find it extremely difficult to eat out because I have special dietary needs. My usual experience when looking at menus is, 'Oh what can I eat? I can't have anything on here!' However, I had a completely different experience at 'The Galley' because there was so much food that I could eat! It was all beautifully prepared and presented. I can't praise them enough. My family and I would definitely come here again, in fact it's the ONLY place we would recommend. Great food, great prices, great service. What more could anyone want?

    Really lovely, we visited in September. Had some breakfast each and it was delightful. The staff are so so friendly, the food and drinks are yummy as well. There is good social distancing and very clean. You can book and order in advance if needed. Can't wait till i can come back.

    5 Star 10/10 That brunch Was Lush! I would say an 11/10 because everything was fresh! Even the Bacon Was Smoked! The Sausages were Fresh Butchers! Frech Tomatoes and good value for money! I definitely Recommend! Very Friendly Staff !

    Excellent food and staff. Dogs are allowed so it's just the perfect place for breakfast with your best friend.

    A small treasure found close to the barrage. Fantastic range of teas, coffees and cake. Also features a wide variety food menu. Dog friendly. Can get busy, but worth the wait.

    Have used this place many times when in the area. Good quality food, friendly staff and in the warm weather a good place to relax outside 🤓 p. s love the cakes 😜

    We had a delicious breakfast in the café, and bought some amazing cookies and brownies to take away. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, and helped with seating my two children and accommodating the pram even though the café was really busy and full

    Nice food but a bit pricey for a small breakfast. Nice staff.

    First, the good bits Friendly service. Lovely homemade cake. Now the downright atrocious. Ordered two flat whites with oat. Here's a new Award. Worst cup of coffee either of us have ever been served. Managed to drink half, and then both gave up as the experience was simply disgusting. To be charged eight quid is beyond words. If you enjoy a decent cup of java, avoid at all costs.

    Read a recommendation about this lovely place and thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did. Gorgeous little cafe, the food was amazing. Generous portions. Sort of food where you loved your choice, but then all the other choices looked amazing too. Super friendly, helpful lady behind the counter. She brought a couple of dog chews over, filled our water bottle etc. Would definitely go back!

    One of my favourite places to visit when in Penarth. I always have the Captains breakfast and as someone whose had a few fry ups in my time it’s faultless. Every ingredient on the plate is of the highest quality, and also more importantly the tea pot is a genuine two cup pot! Friendly warm service from all members of staff adds to the experience. Really good value for money too. Adore sitting outside, chatting and people watching. Great way to while away some time!

    Amazing breakfast, I treated myself after a difficult passage sailing, defiantly a reward! Coffee was perfect too, thank you guys for being so good at what you do!

    Really nice cafe with a nice view and amazing staff. Tried strawberry ice cream shake and I would say it's the best I had in the UK so far. Drop by if you are in Penarth

  • 5/5 Cam J. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely little cafe hidden on the marina. Brunch was delicious and options of a proper coffee or beer on tap was fantastic for a Sunday. Staff were very nice and it wasn't too busy.

  • 5/5 Samuel B. 1 year ago on Google
    6/5 if I could. Genuinely the best full english I've ever had in a cafe. All great quality ingredients, the egg was cooked perfectly, and the toast was just right. Ordered a cappuccino as well and it was an actual cappuccino, with the frothy milk you expect and not just steamed milk. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming as well. A proper gem in Penarth.

    What a fabulous little place with such friendly staff. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious 😋 my other half had to take a work call and had to go sit in the car for 30 minutes leaving me inside alone, the lovely lady behind the counter chatted with me and also offered to sort my partners coffee when he got back inside so he didn't have a cold drink to come back to! We both said in the car after we left how happy we came upon this place today after planning on going somewhere else! We will be back intentionally next time. Thanks for a wonderful brunch ❤

    He was about to close and we were told, quite rudely, to go to Tesco if we wanted ice cream. They keep very early hours for a cafe in a visitor/tourist area

    Lovely little place down the marina, food is alway stunning, have never had a bad meal there, amazing very friendly staff, the owners make you feel really welcome, highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Richard W. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great place for coffee and a light lunch situated at Penarth Marina. Friendly and efficient service. They serve probably the very best hot chocolate I've ever had, worth a visit for just that alone.

    Fantastic breakfast, awesome caramel latte and outstanding friendly service

  • 5/5 Rhian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love coming here! Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Fantastic menu choices and every time I have eaten here, which has been alot, the food has been of the highest quality and delicious. Have had the breakfast, breakfast burrito and a selection of different sandwiches and melts and all have been delicious. Love the music and the brownies and cookies too and always take a brownie or cookie or two home. If you want tasty food and fantastic service this is the place to visit.

  • 5/5 Jason S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little bistro. Good food, great coffee and friendly service. Award winning as well.

  • 5/5 stuart o. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in while passing and just thought a quick coffee recharge would do... Got tempted by the sound of the breakfast burrito and cakes and left 30 minutes later stuffed. I definitely should have stopped eating but when you like something that much and one more mouthful turns to ten there is only ever 5 stars coming. Great food and fast and friendly service.

    Has a beautiful view and located nearby the water. Hot and cold drink options are various and they taste good. Great for a little break while walking around Penarth.
