☕🌊 WELL… WE SURVIVED ANOTHER SEASON! 😂

The coffee machine has finally stopped, the fryers are off, the last doughnut has been eaten (probably by one of us 👀) and Coffee on the Quay & Quay Cravings are officially DONE for 2026!

And what a year it’s been!

This season we decided we clearly weren’t busy enough already… so we opened Quay Cravings. 😂

Thankfully, it turned out to be a brilliant idea! Our new little addition to the quay has been a huge success, and we’ve loved seeing you tuck into seafood baskets, loaded tots, whitebait and all the other goodies that have come out of that little kitchen.

But our favourite part?

Seeing the quay absolutely buzzing. ❤️

People sitting in the sunshine, coffees in hand, food on the table, kids running around, dogs hoping something gets dropped and everyone just chilling out watching the waves, boats and the world go by.

There really aren’t many better places to waste an hour… or three. 🌊

Coffee on the Quay has certainly kept us on our toes too. We’ve made what feels like approximately 4.7 MILLION coffees, enough frappes and milkshakes to fill the harbour, and sold enough Massive Doughnuts to confirm that apparently there is NO SUCH THING as a doughnut being too big. 🍩😂

We’ve battled queues, hot kitchens, ticket printers that seem to know exactly when you’re busiest, seagulls plotting their next robbery and the occasional customer staring through the shutter five minutes before opening. 👀😂

But we genuinely wouldn’t have it any other way.

A MASSIVE thank you to every single person who visited us this season. Whether you came once, came every day, knew your coffee order before we did, or spent half your holiday sitting on the quay — thank you for supporting us. ❤️

And now, a VERY special thank you to our incredible team. ❤️

This summer certainly tested them! During some of the extreme heat we had this year, while everyone outside was enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze, our team were inside working next to coffee machines, ovens and fryers that apparently thought 30°C wasn’t quite warm enough. 🥵😂

There were some seriously hot, ridiculously busy days, but they just got on with it — serving endless queues, making drink after drink, cooking order after order and somehow still managing to smile.

They worked their socks off, helped each other out, kept things moving when we were absolutely flat out and played a HUGE part in making both Coffee on the Quay and Quay Cravings such a success this year.

We are incredibly proud of them and genuinely couldn’t have done it without them. ❤️

So to our team — THANK YOU. Now please go somewhere cool and stay away from a coffee machine or fryer for a few months. 😂

Quay Cravings… first season COMPLETE. ✅
Coffee on the Quay… second season COMPLETE. ✅
Staff caffeine levels… questionable. ☕
Feet… destroyed. 😂
Memories… absolutely brilliant. ❤️

And we’re definitely not finished yet…

👀 WE’LL BE BACK IN 2027, BIGGER AND BETTER — SO WATCH THIS SPACE! 👀

We may already have a few ideas up our sleeves… but that’s all we’re saying for now. 🤐😂

For now, it’s time for a well-earned rest before someone says the terrifying words…

“Right then… what are we doing for next season?” 😂

Thank you for an amazing 2026.

See you back on the quay in 2027! 🌊☕🍩❤️

📢 A LITTLE UPDATE TO OUR OPENING HOURS☕️🍰

Due to us being a little short-staffed over the next week or so, we’re having to make a small adjustment to our opening hours.

⏰ We will now be open EVERY DAY from 9am – 5pm.

It’s only a slight change, and we’ll still be here every day serving up all your favourites! 😋☕️🍰

Thank you, as always, for your patience, understanding and continued support — especially during the busy summer holidays. It really does mean a lot to us. ❤️

Open daily | 9am – 5pm

See you at the Quay! 🌊☕️ Shell Island

Amazing 👏 🤩

☕️ WOW… YOU LOT LOVE YOUR COFFEE!☕️

Just look at how much locally roasted coffee we’ve gone through at Coffee on the quay in just over a week! 😲☕️

And the best bit? Our coffee really is LOCAL. ❤️

Every bean we serve is roasted just across the water in Llandanwg by Ffa Da , a fantastic small-batch coffee roaster that you can practically see from the Quay! 🌊☕️

We love being able to support another local business while serving you a proper cup of coffee — whether it’s your morning flat white, a cappuccino with a view, an iced coffee in the sunshine or that much-needed afternoon caffeine fix! 😂

A HUGE THANK YOU to every single person who has visited us, grabbed a coffee, enjoyed the view and kept us so incredibly busy. 🥰

Every cup you buy supports local businesses — and judging by the amount we’ve gone through this week, you’ve been doing a pretty amazing job! 😂☕️

Thank you for visiting Coffee on the Quay! ❤️🌊

We have crab 🦀 😋 😍 limited availability so get it whilst you can

Wow... what a day! 🤩

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to the harbour today and for your patience while waiting for your food and drinks. We really appreciate it!

Every drink, meal and seafood dish is freshly prepared to order. We believe in quality over quantity, and we hope it's worth the wait every single time.

We'll be back open from 8:30am tomorrow, serving all your favourites:
🥚 Eggs Benedict
🥞 Pancake Stacks
🦞 Seafood Baskets
🦑 Panko Squid Rings
☕ Fresh Coffee
🍩 Donuts
🍰 And, of course, our delicious cheesecakes!

The only downside? You've been keeping us so busy that we've sold out of dressed crab and mussels!.

Massive thank you to our staff who keep the place going

See you all tomorrow morning! ❤️
