Blue Pelican Cafe

When I’m up early enough (which is not that often) and when I’m sober (which is even more of a rarity) The Blue Pelican Café is my favourite breakfasting spot.
Expect to find really yummy smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for around a fiver, that give the impression of being a lady of leisure only without the price tag to match.

There are a whole lot of cafes in and around Penarth, and this is one of the better ones.
This is a great little café upstairs in the home and garden store, Hamptons. The Blue Pelican Café is a lovely little place acting as getaway from the hustle and bustle of Windsor Road.
They have a wide and exciting variety of sandwiches and salads, as well as cakes and hot food. You can even get a cream tea selection served on a tiered tray, should you so wish. My friend and I ordered the soup (honeyed carrot!) and the Thai Salmon. The soup was massive and delicious, but the salmon was a little disappointing. The salad was clearly just bagged, and the salmon was smothered with a cheap-​tasting sweet chilli sauce which, although I like spicy, was too spicy and a lot of people would feel strongly about that, I think.
However, this is not really the kind of place you could go and relax for hours at a time with a book. The staff have attempted a relaxed and exotic feel by wearing Hawaiian shirts, but they just look silly. This is the kind of place where women take tea; take heed and be careful not to break anything. Perfect place to bring you grandmother.
