Dragon Cafe

Dragon Cafe is a relaxed daytime café in Bridgend town centre, serving breakfast, lunch and coffee seven days a week. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in with your lead-tangled crew without leaving anyone on the pavement. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Open from 8am daily, it's the kind of practical stop where wet paws and mid-morning hunger both get sorted. The café serves sit-down meals and drinks in a no-fuss, dog-friendly setting and there's no need to time your visit around a brief outdoor window.

Bridgend sits a few miles inland from Porthcawl, making this a useful refuelling point if you're combining beach time with a town-centre errand or coffee break. The opening hours run until 4pm Monday to Saturday and 3pm on Sundays.
