Description
Aber Cafe is a two-storey building with five windows, originally consisting of three houses. It features coursed rubble masonry and has a moderately pitched slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. The front pitch includes four roof skylights. There is a rectangular stone chimney stack on the left and a square stack set forward of the ridge on the right, both with water tabling and moulded caps.
The first floor has Victorian sash windows with stone lintels, and to the left, there is a group of four brace discs. The ground floor on the left has a later 19th-century shopfront, which includes a nameboard and plain outer pilasters. The shop window to the left has modern glazing and a rubble stallriser, with a pair of doors to the right. In the centre, there are two Victorian sash windows that were formerly doorways, both with stone lintels. A simple cornice is present above the Victorian sash shop window on the extreme right.
