Blas Lon Las in Gwynedd

Fantastic friendly shop/Cafe buy a coffee and food or cake while you shop. Best breakfasts to great value for money

Grate for vegetables from growing for change

Lovely little place to buy a bite to eat. Popped in here and had a fantastic breakfast which was absolutely lovely I'd highly recommend this place to get good quality food.

Not open when we detoured our bike ride to go there.... VERY ANNOYING. Just wish they'd post it online if theyre shut

People can present themselves as being green and organic and local and sustainable and community. But the proof of the pudding is whether they rip people off. And boy, this place takes the top prize. It is situated in a deprived area, so I have no idea how the locals are paying these prices. The shop sells very little, actually it is really a pathetic offering. But my God, the prices! I had a slice of quiche. I was asked to pay £4.50 for it. It was a soggy piece of quiche which was leaking liquid from the vegetables they put in it. So much so that it dribbled when lifted up. That price is double the price of the WHOLE quiches one can get at the supermarkets - Tesco's Quiche Lorraine is £2.50, Sainsbury's Mushroom and Cheddar Quiche is £3.00. And these people charged £4.50 for a SINGLE slice of soggy take-out. Dog biscuits. I bought a bag of dog biscuits for £4.20. I have just been to the manufacturer's website and seen that it is selling for £2.00. Over Christmas, I had a mince pie for the price of a whole box of Waitrose mince pies that I later purchased. Even the plants outside are horribly overpriced. Why do I go back? Because I am an idiot who succumbs to the desire to support a local enterprise. But I am sick of it, and I am writing this review so that others are warned, and the people running the cafe will change their ways. I am really disappointed in them for exploiting the goodwill and money of people who work hard for a living.

Really gorgeous fresh produce, very tasty coffee and yummy breakfast! Thank you. Also dog friendly 🐶😁.

Always a warm welcome here, vegan , meats and vegetarian options. Plenty of cake including GF and usually a warm cosy fire .

We called by December 2022 to buy a Christmas wreath and picked up very nice takeaway coffees. We called in today for a late breakfast. I ordered a small Welsh breakfast, amazing value for money. Nicest sausage and bacon that I have tasted for a good while. Egg cooked perfectly. My husband had a large vegetarian breakfast, which he really enjoyed. Again, the coffee was great. The staff were lovely and friendly. They sell a lot of locally produced food. On the way out, I bought a sourdough loaf, which I am looking forward to trying. We won't leave it so long for our next visit.

Pretty good cafe. Good choice of beverages. Local farm produce at reasonable prices too. Outside seating is adequate. Very convenient if visiting the Donkey Sanctuary nearby.

Lovely coffee and breakfast with veggie and vegan options 😁

This is a really handy and friendly stop next to the cycle way from Bangor to Bethesda. Look out for the little sign, because the cafe is not visible from the cycleway.

Love this place for a coffee and cake before a walk to Bangor or into Bethesda

Visited on a Sunday for lunch after taking my son to the park. Arrived at 2.15 an hour and 45 minutes before advertised closing time and took a seat. We were told by the waiter that they had stopped serving hot food but there were pies and sandwiches available which although a little early wasnt a big problem. However when my wife went to order at the counter a disgruntled voice shouted from the kitchen that they weren't doing any food at all now, much to the embarrassment of the front of house staff. We immediately left; hungry and upset.

Wow! What delicious food and really affordable prices. Genuinely one of the tastiest fry ups I've had in a while. Lovely little set up and super friendly team running the cafe. We will be back (again and again and again!)

Been here a few times lately, often for coffee and cake but also for a breakfast. Indoor and outdoor seating, family and doggy friendly, toilet facilities on site but it is a composting toilet so a bit of a different experience. Absolutely love getting coffee and cake here, wonderful cake selection which changes all the time and coffee is good. Had a small breakfast yesterday which was perfect, can’t fault it and very reasonable pricing. Staff are nice, friendly and helpful. Added bonus of fresh produce available to purchase, vegetables look beautiful. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a hidden gem for me with location, pricing and quality that keep me going back.

Lovely shop and cafe in rustic surroundings.

Great bunch of people nice coffee shop donkeys in a well cared for environment worth a visit

Good price coffee. Nice and warm.

Nice spot, ideal for cake and a brew. Just off Lon Las Ogwen

Beautiful little farm shop with very friendly staff wonderful and clean and donkeys nearby!! Very nice food and cakes

Lle da I stopio am banad ar lon las

Nice food. Very reasonably price. Get what you pay for. Nice the little bits available in the cafe to buy. Customer service lacking. Didn’t know if we were supposed to seat ourselves. Had to ask for the rest of our food to come. Toilet not very nice (outdoor old fashioned thing)

We love Blas Lôn Las! We discovered it during lockdown while exploring the Lôn Las Ogwen footpath on one of our many walks. Of course it wasn't open then but we clocked it and came back as soon as we could! The food is great, the coffee is great, and the farm shop has some lovely things. We got their veg box at Christmas and it was perfect - everything you could want in sensible portions so there was no waste. They often have craft fairs and events linked to the donkey sanctuary next door and, with the footpath alongside it, you can turn it into a whole day out. Highly recommend a visit!

Very nice place to visit Very beautiful coffee staff are friendly but it's expensive

Good little stop on a long walk, haven't eaten here yet but it looks good seeing what other customers around me were having.

Delicious, locally sourced, friendly and a real treat everytime.

Little gem. Cracking cup of tea and locally sourced food. Will visit again.

Lovely community cafe. Great cakes and snacks. Good walks from here too

Great local cafe with delicious home ground food. Friendly staff, lovely setting by the local allotments and the donkey sanctuary.

Come for the coffee and homemade food, local produce, and artisinal sauces, dressings, and creations. Stay for the donkeys and relaxing atmosphere. A great stop for locals and tourists alike. It's not big, and there aren't a lot of staff, so it can get busy.

Great place. It's a beautiful cafe (with loads of sweet and savoury options) and farm shop with loads of delicious things to eat in or take away. If you're a coffee lover there are beans that you can buy there. PS There are vegan options if you'd like as well.

Lovely walk from the green bridge to this secluded cafe and shop. Friendly staff and fantastic food

Great little cafe/farm shop. Tasty food at a sensible price, nice staff. Great community set up and the added bonus of the Snowdonia Donkeys just 2 mins walk away.

Some nice fresh veg and fruit..(grown locally and really well priced) Has a range of local products on sale. Cafe has lovely cakes! Good range of hot drinks. A few hot food options. Staff are friendly however sometimes service can be a bit slow.

Great, healthy food. Nice environment.

Great place for a coffee and a walk Staff are all very friendly Donkeys near by if you wish to take a walk and say hello. All fresh local produce very delicious and fair priced. Sitting areas available Plenty of free parking

The food and staff were lovely and the donkeys were a great addition. Shop was smaller than expected but had fresh veg/fruit you could tell was picked recently.

The lady behind the till was very rude. Will be going to a different farm market tomorrow, hopefully they will appreciate the custom of a visitor to Wales.

Lovely meal, friendly & helpful staff. Definitely will be going there again.

Lovely walk.. and to top it all there's a cafe..

What a fantastic gem hidden away in north Wales! We booked a 2hr donkeys walk through Airbnb and it has been one of the standout things of our holiday for my two boys! They loved looking after and grooming them donkeys and then lead them on a lovely walk though the countryside with Chris. Chris took the time to talk to us about the countryside and plants/animals we came across. Just all round a great experience where we were made to feel very welcome by both the volunteers and donkeys!

Reasonably good although no brown sauce or ketchup was provided so tasted a bit dry and bland.

Nice place but one staff member was very miserable don't think that chap wanted to be there needs a customer service course and to smile a bit more other staff were great

Brilliant local yogurt, cheese, veg bread, plus cakes , drinks Sandwiches and other food to take away.

Unexpected and a nice little find just off the cycle track. Kids loved the sausage rolls and hot chocolate. A nice cup of coffee and cakes too.

Lovely little farm shop and cafe.

Very tasty cakes perfect spot to have a rest after a long ride or a walk.

Rude staff, bland food,not the place it used to be. While queuing up to get in shop, the smell from the toilet was disgusting. The food on display looked like usual stuff you can buy at Spa.Looked like it had been thrown on the shelf. The lovely atmosphere and that special place feeling has gone. Sad.

Oh my goodness, this place is well worth a visit. We stopped for breakfast this morning and it was sincerely one of the best breakfasts we have ever had. The bacon was delicious as was the seeded bread, the tomato, mushrooms and eggs tasted incredibly fresh, the sausage was delightful and the beans were served in their own pot. The shop was superb, we bought lots of lovely fresh vegetables grown on the allotment. We will most definitely visit again and would without doubt recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much for our wonderful time with you.

Visited the cafė.Warm on a cold day.Lovely homemade soup. Pity about driveway in...full of so many very deep potholes they are impossible to avoid and dangerous when raining. This unfortunately will make us wary of returning.

Went here for a walk and lynch with my childr ern .we enjoyed the walk a lot , there were many different routes to take ,something for everyone . The food in the cafe was very good and reasonably priced . All organic and/or home grown .

Vegan A lovely surprise that there were actual vegan choices (comforting and filling sweet potato curry) and vegan milk for the delicious coffee. Better than a chain restaurant!

Lovely place & food. Staff are friendly & helpful. Very cosy & welcoming.

It is a nice farm shop/ cafe. Has a very good home cook menu. My only issue with the site was the state of the drive way leading to the site. It had massive pot holes thought out the length of the drive way

Great staff and wonderful place 😋👍

It's a beautiful rural setting and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. The staff are really welcoming and helpful and work hard to ensure there is food that is suitable for those with coeliac (where not just the ingredients are gluten free but cross contamination with gluten from other sources is avoided). Definitely recommend for a visit and a walk through the gorgeous woodland.

Great coffee, amazing cakes and wonderful service😊😊😊. Shh don't tell anybody it's our secret😉.

A magical and beautiful corner of the track. The perfect stop for cyclist or drivers alike to refresh with homegrown foods and excellent friendly staff. I'm bringing all my guests through here from now on!

A great walking trail, our dog loved it too, can't wait to come back.

Excellent cakes & lovely fresh produce. Slow service though.

Moelyci (all one word!) is a great place for walks and wildlife if you want to get away from it all. Cafe arbennig!

My Elderly parents took me out for a lunch break to this hidden gem of a cafe. Right on the Tregarth 'Sustrans' bike path I could foresee this being a welcome stop for many cyclists. It's plates of food were huge, locally sourced and handmade made quiche and pies etc. Having just come back from expensive Cornwall where all meals were £12 plus, our main meals were about £6 to £8 each, brilliant. The two ladies behind the counter were very chatty and friendly and the relaxed atmosphere was conducive to conversation. Outside seating was useful as was the screened off benches meaning we had a sun trap. Only negative were the loos. Though clean and hygienic, they were 'soak' type (see photo) meaning they had an interesting odour. They are obviously keeping the sysyem eco friendly and are just fine, but having them removed from the main building was a good idea. Didn't put me off wanting to go back with my wife asap. Also a shop selling organic produce and fresh breads

Just when we needed a cup of tea the most we happened across this lovely little farm shop. It is quaint and hidden yet a perfect addition to anybody's day out, whether out on a walk or a cycle or simply driving by. The staff are welcoming and we had a lovely Bakewell muffin and a pot of tea. They also sell some of the freshest looking veg I've ever seen! Highly recommended.

After going for a cycle along the las ogwen trail we saw a sign for this lovely little cafe, we crossed a bridge with our bikes and followed the trail down. It was a great addition to the ride. We had the best bakewell muffins and some reallllllly great cups of tea. In a lovely quiet location surrounded by birds and lots of veg! A lovely chat with the ladies behind the counter will have us back every time! Felt like a Sunday!!!

Organic allotments in rural setting. Friendly people.

We were walking from Bangor to Bethesda on the old railway track & saw the sign for the cafe. The welcome was very warm & friendly, the food was fab - we had soup of the day, cake & tea - all delicious! The shop also sells a lovely range of local produce. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

Very nice and relaxing place to come for a Sunday coffee. All you need is a good book. There are a lot of potholes on the road as you come here so I would advise you to take care driving up here. The place is lovely with plenty of seating outside. Lots of fresh produce inside as well.

Took a walk with the dogs via here! Lovely little place with a nice range of lunch meals to be had and drinks too. Reasonably priced and locally produced foods! I’d have bought some bits and bobs too if I had a shopping bag!!! Will go back again for sure.

Delicious food and drinks at reasonable prices. There is a handy path that leads from the Ogwen Trail (disused slate-railway line), so makes a great refreshment stop for walkers and cyclists.

This is a pleasant café with a shop of locally grown vegetables and locally made chesses, jams, bread, etc. We had a very nice ploughman's for lunch, with lots of vegetables, and bought some very nice ewe's milk yoghurt to take home. We had custard pie for dssert and that was excellent. The café sits right on the bike path Lon Las Ogwen, between Glasinfryn and Tregarth, and is a good stop for hikers and bikers.

I've lived in Bangor until recently and often walked to the cafe and shop, though there's parking on site too. The food is lovely, well presented and fresh. There's always a good selection of cakes and other treats to be had. The volunteers/staff are lovely and it's such a nice place to sit either inside or indeed outside. Even in the rain there are some covered spots to sit and some big brollies to shelter the picnic tables completely and still enjoy the great outdoors. A great spot for a walk before or after a bite to eat, or indeed picking up some organic groceries in the little shop. I'll miss my visits there now that I've moved far away :(

Nice Cafe and farm shop; selling lovely artisan breads and local produce also my favourite Laughing Bird body care stuff locally made from natural products.

Lovely cafe space and lovely walking

Nice little cafe with small farm shop. But got overly busy for the size of it when were were there, so perhaps more demand than the space, all be it a lovely modern, clean and warm set up. We'll stop there again in passing I imagine.

Great local produce in the shop and well worth a visit for tea, cake and a mooch around.

Moelyci Environmental Centre is an amazing place. Ive been visiting the site for years but am just beginning to realise what a gem it is. Since the introduction of sustainable management the land has begun to breathe again after so many years of close grazing the biodiversity is amazing, and there are some truly magical places. Theres usually something going on to get involved gardening work, workshops, yoga or just hanging out and having a cuppa. ps I'm not getting paid to say this!
