Pebbles Yard Gallery & Espresso Bar

Great little caf! Always buzzing and great music too. Good choice of food, hot & cold drinks

Not withstanding our distracted server and his T-Shirt with a logo similar to that of a world famous coffee chain and "STARFUCKS" emblazoned under it (followed by 11 year old son trying to get me to explain what it means when he knows full well and is just being a git) this is a sweet little place in the heart of sweet little St Davids.
The cafe sits above one of the many nick nack shops selling the sort of useless crap you would never ever consider parting good money with were it not for the fact that you are on holiday and money doesn't actually work like that on holiday.
It's impossibly small up there. Three people work behind a counter big enough for only one and a half. They manage to stick five tables in where only three should really fit, one with a comfy sofa should you be lucky enough to bagsy it. The loo defies all laws of physics and you shouldn't attempt negotiating it unless you are a black belt in yoga.
But there is room outside too. And the aspect is rather lovely. You have the war memorial behind you which seems to act as the city centre, a meeting place always and a market place once a week (if you can call six stalls a market) where all the bright coloured cagouls congregate. In front of you is the splendid St David's Cathedral, well over a thousand years old sitting at the bottom of the hill that we're mercifully at the top of. It's beautifully picturesque and a nice way to while away an hour in the morning with their decent coffee, excellent hot chocolate or standard tea. The carrot cake, the cherry tart and the walnut cake are most excellent accompaniments.
