Antur Stiniog Llyn Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd

i like there coffee which is very organic coffee i really enjoy veri delicious coffee thankyou all of that serve us and hope to see you soon .

Called in to buy breakfast early after the cafe Called in to buy breakfast early after the cafe opened. The Welsh speaking locals got their brekkie and a long chat. Spent 40 minutes waiting to get served and was blanked. When there was no one else to get served, luckily for the 'server' an English paying fisherman turned up and he went off to sort him. Blanked by North Welsh hospitality. Must be too proud for scummy, dog walking, English.

Stunning views and great food in the cafe. I often visit to walk the dogs and use the cafe if it's open. Never had a bad meal and the staff are great.

I was sceptical when my wife guided me here for breakfast. Only a small sign on the road which sends you down the old nuclear power station access road. The Centre itself doesn't look much either, but its location is perfect for views and stopping off when travelling in the area. The café is to the rear and very well maintained. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was exceptional - all local produce, cooked freshly to perfection and the best butchers bacon I have ever had. I don't think may people know whet they are missing when they drive past on the main road, but for me I'll actually divert my journey to have breakfast here.

Really good cafe with all the usual favourites on menu. Breakfasts looked excellent. staff very friendly and polite. Great crispy home cooked chips! There is a lovely view over the lake from the cafe too.

Mae'r criw yn gyfeillgar, yn gymwynasgar ac yn gwenu bob amser! The staff are friendly, helpful and always smiling. Don't be put off by the outside of the building which used to be the power station club. Inside it's clean, modern and the window views over the lake are to die for.

Always have food here Am or lunch sets you up for the day Food is superb Staff are always there to help Nothing is to much for anyone there

Visited for a quick coffee and bite to eat, chose a latte and a cornflake cake, it was delicious, can't wait to visit again soon.

Perfect spot for lunch, especially if you're walking around the lake. Great food and amazing service. Must order the chips if you go!

Really good food, friendly staff, biker friendly and reasonable prices. The views are breathtaking and I’d really recommend a stop here. We also took away some flapjack (pictured) and it was amazing

Friendly staff and good quick service. Homemade cakes and reasonably priced. All the Covid measures in place and with an option to sit outside

Found by chance after turning to take some photos of the closed Magnox Power Station. This is a nice little working cafe. Looks like it may have been a canteen for the power station. The views are fantastic and I enjoyed my visit. Prices were excellent £4.50 for a slice of cake, pot of tea and another drink. It’s a chilled out place and a cafe that does just that. It’s not a tourist cafe but a cafe for locals and those fishing. Does a good pot of tea and a slice of cake. What more could you want sitting looking out over the beautiful lake and hills. Staff were very nice and quick service. Noticed some retro original 60’s light fittings in the toilets. Hopefully they can put these back into use.

Stopped off for tea and scones. Staff pretty indifferent only at end when I’d paid did they announce no cream left for scones. Scones disintegrated into crumbled powder on trying to cut. No apparent bother to collect details for track and trace. Use as a last resort will be better eateries nearby no doubt

Only stopped for a pot of tea, but the cups were dirty! Inside and out!. We had just been debating whether to have a slice of cake, but thought best not to when we saw the cups still had residue of tea inside and they were sticky on the outside. Not impressed and didn't feel welcome, either.

As a local we keep going back here Very good food Ideal location for the lake. Fishing. Walks and so on

Met up with fellow club riders there for a breakfast on two occasions this year, food was excellent and huge slices of cake.

We stopped at Prysor cafe by the lake on the way to Ysgwrn in Llan Ffestiniog. I had never been before. The cafe was very busy, which is a sure sign that the food must be good. And it was very good. We'll be stopping there every time we go that way in future.

Called by for a late breakfast and chose a bacon sandwich with a Cappuccino coffee.Both were excellent and the bacon was of very good quality.The staff were friendly and courteous and the service was fast.Sitting by the window I was able to enjoy the wonderful lake and mountain views too.This was my first visit for many years, but I will not hesitate calling again when in the area.

We called here twice this week and the food, cakes, prices, staff and above all location beat anything or anywhere. I’m not a fisherman and within 15 minutes of sitting down we saw 3 fish (trout apparently) being caught.

Great location , with nice freshly cooked meals served by friendly and courteous staff. The whole place was spotlessly clean --- we will call again when in the area .

We went for lunch one day but it was so busy we had to return the next day instead, this time we had cakes and coffee which were very good indeed.

My partner and I stopped here on Saturday on the way up to North Wales. We had a lovely breakfast. The service was excellent and the café spotless. What a view. We have stopped here before for tea and cake which was very nice. I would recommend anyone to stop here.

The location is stunning on a sunny day, near the lake with external seating. Staff very friendly indeed, the breakfast was really nice, good quality produce, served hot and on time and nice to see local welsh customers coming in and out. This is not a greasy spoon cafe, this is quality breakfast. Will defenetley return.

Great lunch and great location, recommend the ham omelette. Nice friendly staff. And some great views

Came here with a group on Saturday.. this place was lovely!! price very reasonable especially with a view.. I didn't try the food but I will definitely be returning and having lunch here. Staff were friendly and a lovely place for a walk

Situated just off the main road and well signposted, I came here on a Sunday for a first visit. Although advertised as opening at 08.00am, it was clearly closed and so I took my dog for a short lakeside walk until I noticed the lights on at 08.10.

I ride around North Wales regularly on my harley and found this cafe today by the lake in Transfynydd. It was spotlessly clean, great food and an even greater service..will definitely be going back soon!

This is a great place to hire bikes for a nice tour round the lake.It has a great cafe with homemade cake and savoury food.People were also going fishing here.

It's a big eating area with a small kitchen so it was a surprise how good the food was.

Finally got around to visiting this cafe. It’s in a lovely position, food was great and staff so helpful and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the date slice, a real trip down memory lane and such a treat to find it tasted just as good as I remember from childhood! Would definitely like to try their breakfasts next time I’m back in Wales.

Lovely food, great staff, and amazing views. I come here quite often, and the food is always 10/10, and excellent customer service.

Have been here a couple of times. Lovely staff and great breakfast with I think the nicest bacon I’ve tasted, Will defo call again....

Fantastic breakfast with stunning views overlooking the lake - £6.95 for full cooked including coffee and toast - and the view is amazing even on a rainy day

Stunning views over the lake, good range of sandwiches and other food including hot pies, good drink selection too, hot, soft and alcoholic.

Only a sort drive from Porthmadog where we were staying. The meals are good great chips. And servings are plenty & freshly cooked. Lovely homemade cakes, great coffee. Good views of the lake & somewhere to sit outside to eat on a warm day. Staff really friendly too. Was pleasantly surprised will definitely eat there again.

The food here is great, good selection of savoury dishes and the cakes are scrummy! Top it off with a great cup of coffee...what’s not to like...oh, and don’t forget the lovely view.

Came here for lunch, family of 4 including 2 teens. Good selection of well priced food. Quite a queue to order, and car park absolutely rammed. Food arrived fairly promptly and was well presented and tasted great. Plenty of tables inside and out. Staff friendly. Nice clean loos. View over the lake is spectacular. Only marked down as a bit slow to be served but it was bank holiday weekend....

The standard of food here is miles above anything else I've had in the area and this cafe is a great asset for the local community.

Lovely little cafe in beautiful scenery! Set on the banks of a man-made lake, near to the decommissioning nuclear reactor....fab! Lovely food - reasonable price, tasty and good amount. Friendly staff. Clean areas. Some lovely walks round the lake!

After taking the dog for a walk around the back of the dam we stopped at the cafe for a coffee and slice of cake, lovely open bright room and great view of the lake. The cake slices were huge and delicious, lovely coffee and great value for money. Will definitely return.

Great views super simple food well cooked friendly service. 😀nothing else to add. They don’t mind scruffy walkers or cyclists and pretty dog friendly

We popped in here on a wet, bleak, January afternoon for refreshment. The tea and cakes were good and were reasonably priced. The views would have been great, but the weather prevented that!

It was lunchtime and although it was busy, the service was very good. I would be happy to give it five stars for that along but then they brought over our slices of cake which were huge! My partner is especially fond of cake :)

Beautiful food at great prices, and all the staff are so helpful and happy. A fantastic place to stop off on your journey or like me to fill up after walking in the beautiful area, and you have got to try the mouth watering, famous VICTORIA SOUNGE, but get there early before it all gone ( not to early though leave some for me ) Thanks all

Literally stumbled across this place after a very long journey and day. Kids had sandwiches and baguette -which were packed with flilling. Had the broccoli & stilton soup- goodness, it was good soup! Staff are lovely ; all smiles and a lovely rapport with the customers. Got very busy when we visited so there was a wait to order but totally recommend. Views are amazing even on a dull, misty day. Will be returning specially to enjoy the area & cafe properly, rather than a flying visit

Great place to stop and break your journey north on the A470 before the split between Portmadog and Betws y Coed. Turn into the power station entrance, and it's immediately on your left. Good parking, great views and walking.

We dropped in, between seeing Yr Ysgwrn and Llys Ednowain and Tomen Y Mur, for lunch and were very pleasantly suprised by the quality of food on offer, by very friendly staff at very affordable prices. We'll be back to walk round the lake so we can justify eating here again.

The ladies serving us were excellent but the sponge cake was simply extraordinary. Please see photo for the portion size. One piece of cake could feed a medium - size family! It was also VERY nice. Thanks ladies!

Just one topic to talk about .... the soup! We stopped here for luch after a morning visit to Yr...

This café serves very nice homemade cakes and good coffee. Feels good, very friendly service and children are welcome. All...

We were staying locally in Trawsfynydd and came here most evenings to skip stones on the lake but always missed...

We visit this cafe everytime we visit North wales .The breakfast is by far the best in the area .Beth and malcolm are very welcoming hosts .The lake walk is lovely and once you finish that you can treat yourself to good lunch and possibly a glass of wine .excellent!

Called into cafe after travelling for two hours on the way to Snowdon. Ordered food and sat by window with a good view of Trawsfynydd Lake. Ordered two sausage and chips and a panini . Nearly twenty pounds for three meals and there is not a lot on your plate my daughter and her friend even complained. Taste wise just like your local chippy. Lovely location shame about the cafe. I often stop in Trawsfynydd on the way to Snowdon as I like the peaceful village with quaint stone houses and a beautiful backdrop of mountains. Next time I stop I shall look for somewhere else to eat. Any suggestions please of somewhere to eat in Trawsfynydd with reasonable food and prices. Many thanks. Only free wifi if you are with bt.

We came for the first time to enjoy a family cycle around the lake. It's a tricky ride for inexperienced cyclists. Probably a child needs to be eight at least to make the full route. The cafe at the end if the route is most welcome. The homemade chocolate cake was light and delicious,not to mention a generous portion. The cappuccinos are delicious too. A wonderful place to enjoy the views.

Ideally situated by the side of Trawsfynydd lake, next to the old nuclear power station. Beautiful hearty breakfast and lovely hand cut chips. You can walk or cycle all the way around the lake, about 6 miles I think.A great welcome from Beth and her staff.

Stopped here for a cuppa on our way back to our holiday let. Cafe was clean, bright and not too busy. The staff are polite and friendly, and there is a good choice of food. We had a drink and some cake each. The cakes are home-made, and such generous portions, we bought some home as we couldn't finish it. Prices are very reasonable, and to top it all off, the views are amazing. Definitely somewhere we will be visiting again before we head home. A real gem!

We love this place and find as many excuses as possible to stop for coffee or to take visitors for the scrummy, locally sourced and good value lunches. The lake has so many moods. If you love landscape, you will never be disappointed. It's a mammoth task to recover a water environment from nuclear sludge to public accessibilty. It's wonderful to see the fishing activity growing all the time, and hopefully there will be more boating access soon. The best thing is being far from town and at the same time you are part of a friendly mixed community of locals, passers-by, power station contractors and holiday makers. Don't miss the small but perfectly formed Roman camp at Tomen-y-Mur on the other side of the road (not well signposted so check your map). Views of all the Snowdonia ring of mountain ranges from up there and a real feel for what it might have been like to be a Roman soldier in wild wet Wales. And there's even talk of reopening the railway from Bala to Trawsfynydd. Love Wales!

Been here three times now. Lovely home cooked food which is why sometimes there is a little wait, but well worth it. Service with a smile always. Good value. A real favourite with my family. Homemade pizzas are tasty as are the homemade soups. Lovely walk around the lake past the old nuclear power station. Great place to spend the day at. Will definitely be back on our next visit to North Wales.

First of all one wonders why a cafe only gets a food hygiene rating of three - not good.The food was ok - nothing special. Toilets nice and clean.Easy parking.But lots of signs banning dog fouling but not a single bin for it.The only bins, at the back of the cafe strongly said no dog waste.Lots of dogs though.......

Visited to get breakfast before going to GoBelow adventure activity. This was one of the only places nearby that opened at 8am on a Monday - good breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast and full english) at a reasonable price (£12 for breakfast with coffee, eggs and a vanilla latte).Looks like a nice place to visit for a walk

Popped in for coffee and lunch on the way through our rented cabin nearby. We received wonderful service, food and coffee was freshly prepared and served by a lovely lady who was friendly and chatty. Look forward to returning one day.

We came here twice during our visit to Trawsfynydd and on both occasions the staff were friendly and polite. The food here is worth every penny, truly home cooked, really tasty and plenty of it. Service was fast even though it was lunch time and busy.

Just stopped here for a cup of tea on the way past. Friendly staff and a decent selection of angling accessories (if that's your thing!). Nice views.

Today I visited Canolfan Prysor and had a lunchtime snack. Lovely staff, well prepared food and a beautiful view of the lake. Shame about the rain!

Long days at work, is made the more bearable with the luncheon visit to Prysor cafe I can recommend the fish Goujon sandwichCakes are out of this world homemade and their portion generous great with a cup of tea

Enjoyed warm welcome and great breakfasts on a cold wet Sunday lunchtime! Beautiful view across the large lake, over to snow covered mountains, all in a lovely clean and tidy warm canteen type café. Built as a quality Sports and Social Club for the since closed ex-Nuclear power Station, it is now operated by a lovely family team as part of the community run organisation. We were very impressed having 'found' it - after attending an invitation meeting there on the previous day.

I went here with my Hubby on a rainy Tuesday lunchtime. This small Cafe has large windows overlooking the popular fishing lake. We both enjoyed the quality of the food = 2 sausages/2 eggs & a LARGE portion of chunky chips plus mugs of hot tea. The bill came to just under £15 which I was able to pay by contactless card (no receipt). The Cafe is open 0800-1600 hrs 7 days a week but the breakfasts are only served up until 1130 hrs. There is free wi-fi. It is now licensed to sell alcohol (small picnic bottles of wine and local bottled beers). There is an outside decking/seating area with panoramic views. The interior is clean and modern. The staff are local and obliging. We shall definitely be returning!

Beautiful setting, fantastic food, sponge cake to die for ,staff are great and friendly, always a smile and a chat to be had.

Love this place we had a very hot sunny morning sat overlooking a lake so serene and breathtaking. The breakfast was really good and great value too lots of free parking and we had a walk round the lake. A interesting thing is the decommissioned nuclear magnox station! On one side of the lake.

Found the centre by accident when exploring the lake looking for a view of the Magnox Nuclear Power Station.Nice slate bench outside.Views of Magnox are interesting - if you like power stations!

Friendly staff in such a stunning location even on a grey day.An excellent place to stop for breakfast on the way to Porthmadog.Food is tasty and well presented and reasonably priced. Make a fiversion and head for Trawsfynydd. Its a great stopping point with excellent fishing, cycling, dog walks. It got it all

loved this little cafe - on very wet holiday but sound a friendly welcome here with good homemade breakfasts and wifi - ticked all the boxes - went back twiceM x

Went for a walk - did full circuit of lake. We last came here about 10 years ago and it's so much improved. The route round the lake is well signposted and can be done in foot or by bike. We then stopped at the cafe at the end, just making it before they closed. Very friendly staff / owners, and the biggest piece of Victoria sponge I ever saw! Delicious! Will definitely come back!

We called in while on Easter holiday on a very dreary day. It's in a great spot overlooking the lake. My daughter had a wrap and home-made chips which she raved about (I sampled both and agreed). It was difficult to choose from the great selection of home-made cakes, I went for a flapjack while my wife had the the rocky road. Both were probably the best we've ever tasted - both excellent. We both had Americano coffees which were good too. Staff were very friendly, particularly the owner who is a former employee of the power station. We called in again on our way home for take-away cakes - flapjacks and rocky roads, again delicious.Highly recommended and will return with bikes and kayak in the summer. There is a track around 8 miles going round the lake and you can take a kayak on the lake for a small fee.

What an amazing find! The cafe has the most stunning view over the lake and mountains and the food was terrific! Great toasted sandwiches cakes and coffee. Very friendly service too.

The cafe is open now for the season. Found this place by chance and had lunch there, baked potato with tuna and salad. It was all well cooked. The cafe is light and airy and the views up the lake are fantastic. Views like that are rare especially good on a sunny day. From here you can walk or bike around some of the lake. You can fish too. Will be returning here soon.

Wonderful views of lake the coffee is excellent and the caramel slice is absolutely gorgeous with super service a great place to stop and relax on a journey passing bye.

What a find, excellent service and food all round.Can't think when I had homemade chips last, great Panini too.There's a lovely view of a huge lake, with a 7 mile walk/cycle path around it.WiFi was handy too.Will call again.

Called yesterday for a snack,but gave in to the temptation of the first Turkey of the year.☺Wonderful dinner with everythitng perfect.Could not praise enough.Many so called restaurants could take on board some lessons from here.

Great food and lovely cakes, friendly staff too. This place is ideal for those passing on the a470 or wanting a stroll by the lake, breakfast before fishing or coffee and cake after cycling round the lake.

The views are stunning and the café is excellent. Friendly and helpful ladies running the café. Just brought the biggest slice of cake ever. More than enough for the two of us and less than half of what we would have paid in Margate. Thank you ladies.

This was the second time we visited the cafe as we have a dog the first time it was raining and as our 4 legged friends are not allowed inside !! we went to the Lake Cafe where dogs are allowed inside ,as it was raining the day we visited and would have had to sit outside and Chinese Crested dogs don't do rain:)It was a lovely sunny day the next time we visited and we were glad we went back!! Coffee's were fab as were the baps + cup cakes !!. Staff ,lovely smiles and friendly and very clean inside.The menu's looked very interesting and it nice to see at this time of year a quite few people enjoying the food in the cafe .We defiantly will come back as we live fairly local and hope it is not raining as Jade won't be allowed inside and we would end up going to the other place where 4 legged friends are allowed in.Jade would like to highly recommend the sausages in her opinion one of the best she has tasted but she always says that!! :)If your passing by drop in you won't be disappointed.

We stopped here to have a cup of tea and it was well worth the stop. The countryside was fantastic, while we were sat drinking our tea. We didn't have to wait long as it was very quiet when we went. Would certainly visit this again if we were passing.

Have been here many a time now for various meals lunch a breakfast. Have not been disappointed yet. Great value for excellent food. Warm welcome. Great views of Lake and surrounding countryside. Breakfast is very tasty and lean.Toasties great lunch or snack.Southern Fried Chicken wrap was delicious. Will definitely call again.

waited ages to be served while the lady behind the counter chatted to a customer, having ordered waited well over 45 min for our breakfast to be served, the cafe was not busy.The food when it arrived was nice,we were offered free hot drinks but no apology for our long wait.Will not stop there again as the service was just to slow.

This is a new facility with brand new bikes(and well looked after) and a very nice family friendly bike route around the lake. The scenery is super beautiful! The path is very easy to follow and suitable for everyone. The staff at the activity centre are amazingly helpful, pleasant and generally nice people. Thank you Megan for everything!!

Went fishing today at Trawsfynydd and we decided to have breakfast after a couple of hours freezing in the water. Very friendly and helpful staff. We both ordered the full welsh breakfast and sat in the spring sunshine with our food. The breakfast was just what we needed. Plenty of it and cooked perfectly. Roll on next week.

I think it really says something about a place when you ask to hire a mountain bike to cycle around the beautiful lake a day before they open proper and they go out of their way to provide you with a couple of bikes whilst busily setting up. The bikes were of amazing quality... light weight, suspension, disc brakes, perfectly adjusted gears, sound tire pressures etc and perfect for taking a steady cycle around the lake. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to hire a bike or even somewhere to stop, have a coffee and admire the view. Thanks for a great experience, it is really appreciated.

Fantastic cafe in a stunning location with great hospitality. Canoeing, kayaking and bike hire is an added bonus. Would recommend anyone to visit. :)
