Cafes and Coffee Shops

• REAL Coffee Shop near the Roundabout chippy...great strong coffee Take out.... no room to sit
• Blue creek cafe, my fave cafe in the world, expensive, but lush sandwiches and soups, smoothies and loadsa different types of tea. GET THE BROWNIES yum they are LUSH Penguin cafe is cute too, nice turkey roll and carrot cake
• please all readers bear in mind that most of these reviews are over 5 years old (if not 10) and a lot of these places are long gone!!
• The cabin in pier street, very good food and coffee, alows smoking. The mecca coffee shop in chalybeate street, very good coffee, non smoking.
• Fresh Ground Cafe opposite Charlie's Stores is a rather funky little recent addition for those of us who fancy a chat over a decent coffee. Nice, small, trendy but still friendly.
• Why no mention of Treehouse? Fab place if a bit pricey. The chefs are accommodating (where possible) and will give you a meal not necessarily on the menu if you ask nicely. The specials always sell quickly - available from 11.30 onwards so get there early. Or after 2pm to avoid the rush. Fab chilli hot chocolate to be highly recommended - sounds weird but give it a go.
• The Blue Creek is one of the best cafes in town. Lovely home-made food and a lovely chilled-out downstairs bit. Great coffee and brownies and a 'happening' vibe.

• blue creek. nice but over priced but nice can stay there most of the day aswell so pretty cool.
• The Cabin - best place in town for coffee. Treehouse - good food but bit pricey
• Penguin Cafe for custard slices. Arts Centre for wholefood. Blue Creek is nice too.
• The Grapevine pier Stdoes the best Cawl in the world
• Go to the new(ish) juice bar on Pier Street!! Not only could your body do with an organic burst of vitamins after the amount of drinking you will do in Aber, but it is run by two of the funkiest mums ever! Just to update on other entries: Morgan's Cafe has been sold now, Oasis used to be over-run by rats and is owned by 'Fat Del' and her old crone mum (who are not nice people....so I can be mean!), and Cafe Noir (North Parade) is THE nicest place to go for lunch, as it has gorgeous food, sellubrious surroundings and they do two-course specials!
• Morgans... good for tea
• Nobody has mentioned the finest and coolest coffee shop in Aber, Blue Creek. It offers fine food, it's inexpensive and they do brilliant club sandwiches. It's a bit tucked away though, behind the Academy. Check it out, you won't be disappointed (unless it's full).

• Arts centre upstairs makes the nioest toasted sandwitches
• Meeca, by the roundabout. Try the Mega Mecca Mocha Chocca, you might never sleep again. Not cheap but what price caffine?
• The Upper Limit on north parade can supply a splendid breakfast which can cure any hangover known to man.
• Clocktower v good, as is Mecca and Sweaties (Oasis in North Parade)
• penguins does the best cup of coffee in the whole town
• The Mecca cafe chalybete st (i think thats how its spelt) shop sells REAL coffee, if you want to taste the worst coffee you will ever try in your lifetime go to Oasis cafe by Barclays bank. All i can say is what the **** is it, the only resemblance to coffee is that its liquid and brown. The Cabin in pier street has not bad coffee, but what EVER you do never put froth from your coffee into your saucer and never put your feet up on the chair otherwise you will face the wrath of Andy (owners son)
• The Upper Limit. That's all you need to know...
• Aber has a great cafe culture with loads of places to choose from. My three favourites, for their really healthy food and nice atmosphere are: The Treehouse in Baker Street / Stryd y Popty Ancient Rain in Cambrian Place / Lon Cambria The Blue Creek Cafe in Princess Street / Lon Rhosmari
• Not very sustainable for the local area, but Safeway's has a fine Big Breakfast for £1.99 (prices may have changed). Try the brunch if you missed breakfast of if you eat like a pig. Try to avoid Saturdays.
• Oasis does the loveliest hot chocolate in town, and sometimes has Bailey's cheesecake which is lethal but lovely.
• Arts centre cafe. Ridiculous salad-type thingies. Nice view.
• The Treehouse on Pier Street serves excellent organic, vegetarian food at relatively cheap prices
• Cabin, Oasis, Morgans... my personal faves, at least. Express and Doyle's are a little too shabby.
• Nobody seems to have mentioned Morgans cafe in terrace road next to shop-y-pethe. Highly recommended are the jacket potatoes and the horlicks.
• OASIS IS TERRIBLE. the staff are moronic the food is overpriced and not nearly as
• Loads of em, full of old people. Try Bridge street cafe or upper limit cafe.
• Kabin (Pier St.) is a tad expensive, but very student friendly. Express (opp. the station) cheap but a bit grotty. For expensive but gorgeous food Oasis (By Bank Square) is heaven.
• Couple of them serving unbearable coffee. Do not order cappuccino in Elizabeth's they just dont know how to do it or what it tastes like
• The Cabin in Pier Street - excellent, if a little steep, a good atmosphere to sit and smoke or read in.
