Pier Pavillion Tea Room

You're walking along Garth Road towards the pier, and suddenly you're stepping into someone's idea of what a proper Welsh tea room should be. Pier Pavillion has that unhurried, unironic charm that feels increasingly rare — the kind of place where they actually care about getting your tea right, not just getting you through the door. The views across the water are a bonus; the focus here is on doing the fundamentals well: good loose-leaf tea, homemade cakes that taste like someone baked them this morning, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to linger over a second pot. It's the sort of spot locals gravitate towards when they want to properly sit down, rather than grab and go.
