Bryn Glo Tearooms in Conwy

Reading some of the negative reviews on here, I was left wondering if there were some other Bryn Glo Tearooms in the area that we didnt know about? Been here loads of times over the years the family have been operating - often with my brood of feral kids (and later, feral grandkids), and the family who run this business have always made us very welcome; we visit Snowdonia a lot, as we live on the Wirral, and we always get a great feed and great service here, at reasonable prices for this area.The woman who appears to run the place only seems to be terse to those born with no sense of humour. I couldnt visit any part of North Wales without making an excuse to call here, and the pizzas, cooked outside in a wood fired oven, are absolutely fantastic. A great place to sit, relax, and eat some good food, and the proprietor's family are refreshingly down to earth and remember you when you revisit. My go-to cafe when camping at Dolgam (which we do often), everyone should visit them and decide for yourself. You wont be disappointed, five stars all day long xx

Always a friendly welcome and big portions of breakfast to set you up for the day. The food and service second to none.

Popped in for a cup of tea and left 4 or so hours later, Eirian, the owner was friendly and welcoming with a relaxed atmosphere, endless knowledge and advice about the area. Lovely tea and amazing home cooking, if you only visit one tea room while you are in the area call into Bryn Glo. There's ample parking and a beautiful walk from the car park.

Where do you go when you have a mixed family and friends group of all ages. Somewhere relaxed about children and family spread!!! This place was excellent - the pizzas are really lovely and plentiful...and fresh! The atmosphere was relaxed and when one little one kicked off the owner entertained her by giving her the tips saucer to count out and gave her a percentage for being a good girl!!! Tidy bottle of wine and choices of cans/bottles of beer. No rushing you off your table but time for all to relax and have a conversation. Love this place...will be going back regularly with my family and friends!

I visited this evening having heard about the cafe that has an outdoor Pizza oven. So pleased we visited. The cafe itself doesn't look like much, but the traditional surroundings hide a little gem. Fabulous food, freshly cooked, all washed down with a lovely bottle of red. The price was spot on too. We will be back. Thank you!

The welcome was delightful with the owners even moving from where they were to give us a table of the correct size to fit in six of us. We had a look at the menu and a nice chat with the landlady. We then ordered drinks which we received immediately, and soon after ordered three pizzas between four of us, the perfect amount, they were the best home-made pizzas I've ever had, cooked outside in a proper oven. Everyone with us loved it and would 100% go back again, especially for 'the laughs'.

En este lugar atraía por una señal pizza en la carretera. Sólo para que nos dijeran que no hacen pizzas durante el día? Había poca variedad, así que teníamos una trampilla de jack y té. El jack de la trampilla era insípido incluso mis 3 perros no comer y son cerdos. Las tazas estaban sucias y necesitaba blanquear, no hace falta decir que no beber de él. Un perro pobres pertenecientes al propietario estaba en una cadena de sujeción y no podía conseguir totalmente fuera del sol abrasador que era triste ver.

Vimos el cartel de Pizza horno, y nos vimos tentados por eso. Me hubiera gustado haber llevado. Aparte de la comida, no Pizzas que teníamos era repugnante, huevos y patatas fritas grasientas y tibia, un pedazo de pescado que sabía más de plástico. Caro de plástico. 'Servicio', maleducado mesas pegajosas, asqueroso wc. No te molestes. .

Metimos en justo después de subir siabod.Absolutamente ansía una bebida azucarada, pero por desgracia no tenia cambio en nosotros.Pedimos a la señora con pelo corto y rubio si podíamos pagar en la tarjeta para que su respuesta contundente fue 'd"hágase si es una cantidad razonable" a mi pareja y a mí nos llevarán un poco pero la total franqueza, así que preguntó qué cantidad puede ser razonablemente.10 libras era nuevo groseramente repentinamente dijeron.No íbamos a pasar 10 libras cuando todos queríamos eran dos latas de gaseosas.Luego preguntamos si podíamos usar el inodoro como el letrero en la puerta dice "no compra, no pee 'Afortunadamente la señora dijo que sí y señaló a la puerta.Nos fuimos y dijo gracias pero seguro no se vuelve aquí para nada nuevo. Iremos a nuestro lugares habituales en esta zona.Me pareció que el servicio de atención al cliente para mi 5 minutos visitar era horrible. Sé que la temporada tranquila pero una sonrisa y una respuesta hace que el mundo de diferencia!

Después de conducir el pasado muchas veces glo y Bryn comentó cómo atractivo parecía finalmente llegamos a llamar en una noche de domingo.Al acercarme el dentro y fuera de las zonas comunes son bastante cuidado usadas.El letrero dice Pizza y cerveza y eso es lo que queríamos. La selección de pizzas era razonable, pero los precios eran altos.Para dos pizzas, dos cervezas y bowl de patatas fritas la factura era de 29 libras.El servicio, como era, estaba muy bien, aunque tuvimos que recoger nuestros propios cubiertos, salsas, etc.La pizza era aceptable, pero nada especial.La propiedad y la ubicación contiene mucho potencial pero a estos precios me esperaba mucho más.

Fantastic food in a loverly part of wales. Staff couldn't have been nicer, even staying open later for us while we sorted a logistic issues. I would highly recommend.

Este podría ser un pequeño café, ya que son, en un precioso lugar, con un montón de parking gratuito al lado de ellos y tener 5 estrellas por su higiene alimentaria certificado. Por desgracia, no tienen mucho más que para ellos. He recibido un recibimiento más cálido en el Ártico, que puede haber sido garantías procesales resaca personal, pero la falta de entusiasmo no era necesario. Lo único que queríamos era sopa, pero la única comida disponible (a las 13:30) era el desayuno.

Fuimos para un desayuno muy tarde a la hora del almuerzo. El horno de pizza de piedra fuera ya estaba iluminado, así que una de nuestro grupo. El resto tenía desayunos completos. Todo era delicioso. En cualquier lugar que los cocineros sus setas en mantequilla ( ¿Por qué no hacer tantos lugares que?) recibe mi voto.

Pizzas are freshly cooked in front of you in the pizza oven. Tasted amazing. A really relaxed atmosphere. Just what we needed after a long day on the mountain. Plenty of seating inside and out. Free parking.

We were looking for somewhere to eat and came across this place by accident. Sitting outside in the sun was glorious with the smell of a wood oven made it even better. We ordered two pizza's, and sure enough we saw them come out and cooked in the oven. A few minutes later they arrived at out table and were delicious. Washed down with a bottle of beer it made the day perfect.We passed the tearooms several times and we call commented on the great pizza.Shame I live 400 miles away, else I'd return every now and then :)

Fancied a pizza and was drawn here due to its impressive curb appeal. Unfortunately the service and food did not match up. My wife asked the lady inside the restaurant what meats were on a pizza, the lady raised her eyebrows, barked "meat" at her, tutted, then started serving somebody behind who had only just walked in. The pizza oven outside was lovely looking, unfortunately the pizzas could have done with staying in for a bit longer...burnt edges and cold middles on both our pizzas, though due to the previous interaction we did not feel comfortable requesting something be done. Waste of money. The food wasnt the only thing that left a bad taste in our mouths.

After climbing Carnedd Moel Siabod from Dolwyddelan, friends and I came here to replenish the fuel tanks before walking back to Dolwyddelan. It might be a basic cafe, tea served with tea bag in a mug & hot water added but for 80p you can't complain. With the tea I had a good slice of good cake, friends shared a pizza and we all enjoyed the place eating outside on the benches. I've been here before & will go again

Living locally our family have been occasional visitors to this cafe for over a decade and have never been disappointed.The cafe is small and cosy with a rather basic menu that is reasonably priced.On this occasion our four different meals were served within 15 minutes and were satisfying and filling.If you want haute cuisine,go elsewhere.If you want to feed your family without being fleeced,come here.

I was staying with five friends at a local climbing hut, a regular haunt of ours, and having been to the cafe for reasonable pizzas in the past we all decided to eat there on the Sunday evening. On the Sunday morning one of our party called in to check that it would be OK for 6 of us to eat there in the evening and was told that was fine but could we come just after 8pm when it would be a bit quieter. We duly arrived at 8:05pm to be greeted by a closed sign outside. Cafe was still open and serving meals and pizzas so we went in and were abruptly told "We're closed". When I mentioned one of our party had called in and arranged for us to eat there that evening I was rudely told "I don't take bookings". When my friend who had spoken to the person in charge that morning arrived he mentioned to her that he was the one who'd come in that morning and was told "Well we've no pizzas left anyway". As we were leaving to eat elsewhere we saw pizzas coming out of the oven..... Unbelievably rude, bad service and no hint of an apology despite the fact we'd had the courtesy to call in earlier to check all would be OK for the evening!! None of our party are likely to visit this cafe again because of this one incident. I certainly won't be parting with my money here.

Tinned ham, frozen pizza base, what's the point of a wood fired oven if you are going to cook poor quality pizza ? We are building our own oven and my boyfriend tried to ask the owner about it's construction, just got one word grunted answers, wouldn't call again

Have visited a few times and always had a warm welcome from the Evans family.They do simple food at a reasonable price and the pizza is great. They even stayed open a little longer for us so we could eat.Great stop off if you are going climbing in Ogwen.

We wanted to have a good lunch before walking. The gentleman that greeted us seemed as if he did not want us there...which we found quite odd but he did take our food order, cooked it and presented it to us. The food was just okay. Filled us up and provided some protein. Quaint place as its just a kitchen with a front room but sadly would not go again due to the service.

Very well situated at the foot of Moel Siabod at the south-west outskirts of Capel Curig. We stopped off at Bryn Glo on our return from a very wet walk up to Siabod, and what a lovely place it was. As it was late afternoon we only had tea and cake, but our reception - given that we were dripping all over the place! - was very warm and cheerful. Will definitely be back sometime to sample the home made pizzas!!

Visited after a trip up to Snowdon. Sat outside in the sun, no haute cuisine but cold beer and stone baked pizzas, what's not to like?!

I have stopped here twice after scramble on Moel Siabod - once bitten, twice shy you would think but time in between visits caused memory loss. Service very poor, staff look disappointed you called in and not cheap £10 for a pizza with a cup of tea! Seriously folks, if you can hang on another 10-15 mins, head for either Capel Curig or Betys y Coed where seasoned walkers/climbers/hikers can expect a decent welcome. These people do not like outsiders!

My friend and I stopped off here towards the end of a long walk around the local lakes and valleys. We had a cup of tea and a scone each. Not bad to be honest. The scone was very crumble and came apart in my hands. Was very tasty though; just a shame it was whipped cream and not clotted cream. Staff seemed friendly though and it was decent value for money.

We called in here after a day in Caernarfon, we were tempted in by the oven you can see when passing. We were not disappointed,we received a warm welcome and twice the lady came out to see if we were okay. The food whilst not Michelin star was very good and ready within 5 minutes, and very enjoyable to eat outside fresh from a proper oven. I think people need to remember this is a small family cafe not a specialist pizza chain or a top restaurant. Well done to them! See you soon.

The pizza looked like they were shop bought and warmed up. Atmosphere was ok. Wouldn't recommend going! Shame as thats my cheat meal wasted for the week !

Excellent pizzas made in an authentic stone baked oven outside. If the weather is good there are tables to sit outside.

We popped in after spending the day walking up Moel Siabod. Our car was parked next to the cafe and we just wanted a quick bite and refreshments. The cake and drinks we had we're actually quite nice and reasonably priced. My main gripe is with the owner who made us feel as though we were really bothering her in ordering some food/ drinks and made us feel quite unwelcome. It took a few minutes to persuade her to take our money. If she were to tweek her attitude it could be quite a reasonable place, may it was just a bad day at the office!

Called here for lunch to be greeted by a female owner / staff who was very hostile, constantly tried to rush us and made us feel very unwelcome - a very uncomfortable experience. We would have gone elsewhere before ordering food but we were rushed to order a drink straight away. Menu very limited - mostly greasy fry-up food and none of the pizza which were supposed to be good here. I ordered scrambled egss on toast with mushrooms - the toast was barely browned and soggy, and the eggs were tasteless and small portion for £3.50. The only good thing was the mushrooms. We will definately NEVER be back here again. Also, the whole place needs a makeover on its scruffy decor. DON'T GO!

We had a great Breakfast at Bryn Glo this morning... We visited several times with our friends and have always had great food, great service and always made welcome by the friendly staff... highly recommended

Passed here many times on route to Betws y Coed and the cafe has always looked great so this time we decided to stop for a "Stonebaked Pizza". How disappointing... Bases did not seem freshly made and toppings were of a low quality resulting in an over-priced and disappointing stop.

We came walking in the area and as we drove past saw the stone baked pizza sign and had to stop. we were not disappointed. We have read the negative reviews on this site and are greatly surprised by the cutting comments made. We do not agree at all. This is a café, not the Ritz hotel so I don't understand why such high expectations were aired as to service and style. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and found a very warm welcome from the owner, a relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful setting - exactly the kind of place one would want to eat after a day on the hill, or indeed in any other moment. My friend who was with me is an Italian chef and so when we saw the sign we could not resist trying the pizzas. It is almost impossible to find a place in Great Britain where stone-baked pizzas are made - many restaurants advertise something similar only to disappoint with a gas-oven replica. As for the pizzas being bought in: the owner immediately stated that the bases were bought which was honest and fair. She did not pretend they were something they are not as she easily could have. However they were tasty and crispy and far better pizzas than we have eaten in many so-called Italian restaurants. One reviewer mentions Pizza Express as an example of better value - we would definitely not agree. We have eaten there several times and, although they have all the benefits of Italian ingredients, specialised chefs to write the menus and a well-known brand, their pizzas have often been inferior to the ones we ate at Bryn Glo. If the reviewers want an authentic stone baked pizza we suggest they try visiting Italy. Food snobbery has no place in a lovely place like Bryn Glo! We would definitely return and will recommend their pizzas to any friends who might visit the area. Reviewers - come down off your high horse, relax and enjoy. Well done to the Bryn Glo family for daring to try something different. If an Italian chef could enjoy it, it's certainly a good sign! Thanks for a great evening.

Just home from a much anticipated visit to bryn glo tea rooms for wood fired pizza! My review will echo that of a previous reviewer. Like them I expected a homemade, somewhat artisan, pizza, but what we encountered was the polar opposite. First impressions were not great as the whole place had the aroma of chip fat and it was only because a) it was cold; and b) I ignored my instincts to turn round and go elsewhere that we stayed. We had to ring a bell for service and the welcome was lukewarm. Had to 'help ourselves' to everything, including the drinks from the fridge and paid up front.Our pizzas arrived very quickly, which I expected from a wood fired oven, but they looked like something from Iceland or Tesco. The bases were dry and were most definitely bought in. The toppings were tasteless and dry. When topping pizzas in a wood fired oven that cooks so quickly it's the owners should bear in mind that the topping has very, very limited time to cook. Whilst my partner finished his pizza I took advantage of he gorgeous view from the veranda and was disgusted to see ashtrays full of cigarette ends lining the window cill outside. We had so looked forward to this place as we often pass it when we come from the mountains and I so wanted it to be a little gem, or even a diamond in the rough. We won't be returning or recommending this place which is a far cry from my ethos of supporting everything local. But I suppose they rely on the one off custom of the visitors to the area. If you want good homemade pizza then head to Conwy Falls near penmachno, just outside Betws y coed! They know how it's done!

We passed this place several times during our stay in the area and were enticed by the idea of stone baked pizzas from a wood fired oven. We had to seat ourselves, collect our own plates, drinks and cutlery and order from the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I'm no food snob and I whole-heartedly welcome the simplicity and rustic charm that this place was offering - particularly as the Pizzas were to be HOMEMADE in a stonebaked oven. I wonder what this means to the average person. To me, I was expecting a handmade pizza (ie, using handmade pizza dough) with whatever toppings you wanted. Instead, we got what i firmly believe to be manufactured pizza bases (trust me, I'm a baker, I know) with average toppings on. The bases were just about baked, certainly not crispy, not tasty, and perfectly round. If that was homemade, then I'm a monkeys uncle. So, so disappointed. This cafe is really letting themselves down, it is such a massive shame. I wonder if they realise how different (and probably more successful) they'd be if they improved on this. One further thing, pizzas there are about tenner each; bout the same as a Pizza Express but a much poorer cousin so poor value in my opinion.

Called at bryn glo café after walking Snowdon. we were just going to have a brew but with the smell of the pizzas cooking in the oven, well what can I say TWO meat feasts were ordered when they arrived we were not disappointed. it's nice to find a small family run place, will call again when were passing and the other thing was we could have a nice bit of banter with the owner even though she was ginger (ha ha) nice waitresses too

We are frequent visitors to Bryn Glo as we regularly camp just down the road (5 minutes walk) This is one of our favourite places,a lovely warm Welsh welcome from the family who run this fine establishment,a really nice,relaxed atmosphere with a chance to sit outside,admire the stunning scenery & chat with the locals & THE most delicious,stonebaked pizzas,all cooked in a matter of minutes by Terry in his pizza oven while you sit sipping your drink looking over the mountains....can't be beat.Haven't stayed in the B&B myself but my son & his girlfriend did last month & had a lovely stay...recommended the warm hospitality & the delicious breakfasts! You'll definitely get a welcome in THIS hillside....long may they prosper!

Hubby had full english, me bacon buttie. It was OK, not brill be filled a gap before walking. Very busy so must be popular
