Nestled in the heart of Port Talbot at 107 Station Rd, Fresco is not just a café; it's a delightful escape for food lovers and coffee enthusiasts. This charming establishment is a hidden gem that promises a welcoming atmosphere and an array of comforting dishes that will leave you wanting more.
As you step inside Fresco, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods envelops you, creating an inviting ambiance that's perfect for a leisurely breakfast or a casual snack. The café's ambiance strikes a fine balance: it feels cozy yet lively, making it an ideal spot to catch up with friends or simply unwind alone.
The menu at Fresco is noteworthy and appeals to a wide range of tastes. If you are in the mood for a scrumptious breakfast, don’t miss their popular options. The Big Breakfast (£7.90) features a delightful medley of sausages, bacon, eggs, and hash browns that is sure to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. For those who prefer something lighter, the Plain Omelette (£5.90) and the delectable American Pancake Bacon Stack offer a balanced option without compromising on flavor.

The accolades Fresco has received from patrons truly speak volumes. One visitor, Becky Crawshaw, describes it as a "hidden gem" and emphasizes the "lovely sausages, bacon, and great coffee," alongside friendly service that has them planning a return visit. This sentiment is echoed by others who have praised the café's exceptional breakfast options. Joshua Chamberlain, for instance, shared his delight at finding this local recommendation during his visit from Cardiff, highlighting the fresh, perfectly cooked food at a wallet-friendly price.
It's worth noting, however, that some diners have pointed out limitations like the absence of card payment options and occasional variability in food expectations. But these small details hardly overshadow the overwhelmingly positive experiences reported by most customers.
