"The back room to this bread and cake shop is a fairy large cafe, which has probably changed little in the last fifty years. Tables are dressed with sticky red and white checked table cloths, the lighting is dim, and the menu still has all your old favourites , like poached eggs on toast, cheesy chips a wide selection of pies and much more besides. My poached egg on toast came with a thick piece of toasted white bread, cut from a proper loaf, not the usual sliced bread, which when toasted loses all its texture. As for the poached eggs, they were slim and perfectly formed, such that i assumed the cook had developed a technique for cutting a poached egg in half and passing it off as two eggs, but hey, my partner told me I was being stupid. Her baked potato with cheese and coleslaw was substantial and tasty, all with a good pot of tea. The toilets have seen better days and the cafe floor could have done with a thorough clean, but these points are just distractions, as they add to the atmosphere. Whilst we were there a man walked in with a tray of take away food which we assumed he had bought elsewhere, sat down and asked for a knife and fork, which he was given. He ate his food and left the food tray and empty can on the table and walked out. Strange. Don't miss out on the Gwalia cafe if you find yourself in Pwhelli, just for the experience of stepping back in time."
