Caban Cafe in Gwynedd - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Was looking forward to stopping there after seeing it in the Indy coffee guide. Read that it was dog friendly so took our small dog with us. On arrival was informed that dogs are not allowed in the cafe so you can either sit outside or they had a ‘table for dogs’ as it was raining we were sat in what was the foyer of the community centre. Literally a table separate to the rest of the cafe behind a door in the entrance way. (See pic) Coffee was fine and cake was nice. Staff were pleasant. But please do not advertise as dog friendly as unless it’s warm and sunny it’s far from it.

I had a very tasty and enjoyable special of chicken tagine. I would have preferred a bigger selection of sides to go with it. There was a recommended choice of pitta bread or, from the main menu, chips or bread. I thought the chicken was good value and would definitely choose it again, if it was available.

Third time visiting here in the last few months each time has been worse than our last visit this will now be our final attempt to end our walk with a nice drink and a bit of lunch. No food today we’ve no staff ! Has been one of our prior experiences along with you cannot sit there? Sunday 11th June - Staff still unhelpful not interested in providing good service or their customers Family of 11 with four dogs Told you cannot sit on the tables in the grassed area You cannot sit on the decking as it’s slippy and being repaired So approval to sit at one table for six ? Told to make sure we clear our own table when we had finished Extortionate prices £4 for a small coffee £4 for small warm chocolate and £3.25 for small organic fizzy pop Some of us had already paid for drinks as we didn't realise there was a problem with the seating arrangements and weren’t told until we asked if it was table service Four of us refused to order as there was nowhere to sit Took our drinks and left

It seems this place is being run for the pleasure of a few people only. Tables on either side of us had people using the cafe as a personal office. One man had his feet up on the chair the whole time we were there, another kept answering his phone, droning on, non stop. I thought Caban hired out office space? not give it out for the price of one cup of coffee. Public money has gone into building and establishing this place, supposedly for the community - and that means Welsh speakers as well as those who can't be bothered to learn. As for food, don't bother because they don't. Most often than not, the meagre offerings up on the blackboard run out quickly, so it's cake or more cake for lunch. This place used to be good but that was a very long time ago now.

This is an overrated place where one person takes over a table for 4 so you are stuck waiting for someone to finish their coffee so the table can be used. The food is of poor quality probably because there is no chef. The staff are unfriendly especially the short boy behind the counter. There are better places to eat around the area.

one of my fave cafes ever!! super lovely atmosphere, amazing food and superb staff / customer service <33 lovely place to sit and have a coffee and a bite to eat with a super chill vibe !!

For a place that really REALLY believes it’s own hyperbole this I’m afraid was,in this correspondent’s experience,wholly ordinary. Service was solid.Food dead average. Atmosphere unexceptional.Couldn’t fault the cleanliness.If your going to advertise as the finest watering hole north of anywhere you so need to be a cut above.This isn’t.

I decided to visit this cafe for breakfast and I certainly wasn’t disappointed.The food here is tasty and well cooked,served by friendly helpful staff.I would recommend a vist to this place should you be in the area .

Been here a few times now, usually in the morning after working on yr Wyddfa overnight. The breakfast and coffee is half decent, but it’s also handy as you drive out of llanberis. I’ve always felt like the service was not the friendliest or most welcoming, but it’s never bothered me too much as I’m usually tired and hungry when I’ve been here before. Stopped here with 4 friends today mid-walk, and had good coffee and cake. My friend (it was his first visit) actually commented that it doesn’t feel very welcoming, which tallies with my previous thoughts about the place. Anyway, one of our group decided to pay the bill for all of us when he popped to the toilet, and as we were walking out to go and pay he told us he’d already paid for us all. At the back of us was the miserable waitress, who was tailing us and not-so-quietly telling and signalling to the girls at the till that we haven’t paid, when in fact we’d already paid. She could have just politely asked us if we’d paid, as opposed to assuming we were walking out without paying and robbing them. She shut up once the girl at the till told her we’d paid. No apology of course. Maybe it’s because non of us were speaking welsh, I don’t know (all 5 of us are actually Welsh). Overall, there’s a couple of better, and much more friendly cafes in llanberis itself, so I’d recommend them as opposed to going here.

A mixed bag. Nice place. Good vibes. Honourable morales. Good coffee. Bad undercooked chips. Great bacon and hash brown breakfast cob. Weird fish tasting orange juice on the side. Pesto on the breakfast mushrooms! 😫

A little hidden gem found tucked away, fresh special board available to view online from 10am. It was raining and cold so we sat indoors but the outdoor space looked lovely with seating tables and little cabins to sit in. I couldn’t remember all the ingredients in the trio of salads or the empanadas but they were all delicious and very tasty. Thanks very much 💜💜

Been waiting for this meal all week - a lovely end to a great week in North Wales. Lovely fresh tasty food, lovely staff, lovely setting. Sit in the garden and watch the birds and squirrels, or inside and enjoy the atmosphere. I had a veggie special with 3 salads, lots of amazing flavours, pea shoots, beetroot, goats cheese, lime, ginger, all strong but well balanced and I could taste everything. Decaf tea as well. All staff are pleasant and attentive. Yes, it is card only, but as they are not near a bank, why not? Small menu, so they can do what they do very well - would you rather a choice of 100 frozen, bought in items? It is not cheap, but still good value for what you get. Can't wait to return, again, and again. Diolch Caban

We used to visit here regularly as a family and since we had not been since before Covid, we decided to go for lunch. The menu was disappointing with not many options. We only ordered 2 bowls of chips, a buttered bap, a cake and a cup of tea and it came to £19.50!!! Expensive in my eyes. Won’t be going again unfortunately.

We were looking for a nice food stop but there wasn’t much around. I read reviews stating this place had tasteless food… we decided to give it a go. The food was really good and flavoured. I had the vegan curry with salad. The coffee is really good also. I didn’t find the staff the friendliest. The cafe has a nice setting and I would return for the food again. Not dog friendly inside but you can sit outside.

Visited Caban cafe for an energy boost after climbing Yr Wyddfa. The cafe is surprisingly peaceful, set away from the road and sited amongst mature conifers with tables outside on a balcony. I chose stout cake which arrived as a generous portion and was lovely and moist. Best slice of cake for a while in lovely surroundings.

Have been lots of times and every time I hope it will be better....not today. It all sounds tasty but it's bland. Bhaji pasty...a dry bhaji wrapped in dry pastry. Filo pastry spinach whirl...dry spinach in dry pastry. Onion and feta quiche...yup tasteless and barely any feta. Cakes....stout cake... guessing this is made with Stout....should be a moist cake...again dry and tasteless. Coffee is bitter and tepid. The surroundings are lovely and the staff personable but the food is not great sorry

Came to try it out on the recommendation of our campsite host. The day’s temperature was building up but I sat up high outside in cool pine scented shade. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful towards someone struggling with a bad hip. Very good coffee and a good selection of cakes/croissants. Fab posters with pithy comments. Spent well over a lazy hour here. Instantly moves into my top ten cafes world wide.

What a wonderful place for lunch! The food was amazing, service was brilliant, outdoor seating was lovely, staff were so friendly and the vegan and gluten free options were so tasty. Will definitely return when we’re next in the area and would recommend to anyone.

Very limited menu. Over £18 for a beef nachos with side salad (which I have to say wasn't very tasty), and a can of 440ml beer! Was a good size portion however hence 2 stars not one. Wont be going again as turns out theyve gone cashless. Does this explain the very high prices - for the bank charges?!

This place certainly is not like other cafes, and that's definitely a good thing! Unlike your usual coffee places, it feels like your swept off to a small foresty corner in Wales and taken in by a warm family in a cosy lodge. I had...

I rate their coffee however their food is quite poor. Cold flavourless specials... (I understand it's meant to be cold but was just not great food) - fairly pricey too. Atmosphere was nice.

Lovely light lunch here. Visited as a couple with dogs. A little disappointed that dogs weren't allowed inside, seeing as it was raining, but with no other option for lunch we ate outside. There are cabins to sit in but they were all full and...

Absolutely beautiful cafe, lush coffee with some impressive latte art! We had breakfast sandwiches and every bit of them was so flavoursome and perfectly cooked. The pesto mushroom was stunning! We go to loads of places for brunch and this cafe really stands out. Only...

What a really delightful surprise. Seemingly right in the middle of nowhere at the top end of Llyn Padarn (but actually quite near the main road), we came across this lovely place. Superb design from the external decking and shelters to the lovely interior. As...

What a lovely little find this was! We were staying in the nearby village of Fachwen, and found Caban café when we explored the area. On the offset, it looks quite unassuming from the roadside, especially as you go down the little side alley if...

I was a bit disappointed visiting after reading the reviews. Very limited menu with some odd limitations; eggs not on the menu, not even for breakfast. £2.80 for a glass of low quality concentrated apple juice from a carton is not very appealing. Shame as...

The only good thing was Bethan who was very helpful trying to find us a table. The food was tasteless except for the chips with some spices. A very expensive place for such a little pleasure.

What a wonderful place, can’t believe I’ve lived here most of my life and this was my fist visit, wonderful venue, excellent food and friendly engaging staff with a passion for coffee, food and good service. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Lovely place and a rare find, highly recommended. The restaurant is in a great shared space with other organisations - amazing curved glass vista over lovely outdoor seating. We had breakfast which was 10/10 you select 2,4 or 6 items and they are served in...

The food is always outstanding, with often novel new stuff to try. All the people working in their come across as very friendly and make stellar coffees. What a place. Great outside sitting area too and the artwork and cards you can buy in there...

Nice little set up with a good selection of food a drink on offer. Little disappointed with the lack of breakfast options but the stack was really nice! The option of an egg would really make it a 10/10! Set us up well for our...

Wow what an experience! Literally 3-6 dishes to choose from! And only one dish from the children’s menu! Such a shame as the location is beautiful but the service and the food selection is ridiculously poor! Service is so slow it’s unbelievable but also with...

Very slow to serve us. Limited choice of food for children its a choice of pasta or bust. For adult's if you want meat it was pork and apricot kofta or bust.

Meaty, veggie and vegan options on the daily board. We had one of each and enjoyed all of them very much. Salads are amazing! Very friendly and fast with the food.

We visited on Monday when the kitchen is closed however the normal menu would still be limited choice. So we could only choose savoury pastie’s or cake’s. I chose the Keralan cauliflower chick peas combination mixed salad with tomato chutney my other half had the...

Been here twice- slow service on both occasions unfortunately. Cakes are tasty though & the atmosphere is very relaxed.

What a top cafe, the found looked amazing and was deliscous . This place has a lovely relaxing vibe and super helpful polite staff.

The place is amazing, with a great staff and delicious food. For sure the best in the area! We tried a few more restaurants, but this one was 10/10! Tasty and good looking food. If you are in Llanberis, try this place. Definitely worth it!...

Beautiful woodland setting, feels like you’re in a treehouse. Good quality coffee. Homemade cakes. Our waitress made us all laugh.

Visited after going to zip world before a walk up to Gladstone rock. Atmosphere Lovely chilled quiet vibe. Not so quiet that it’s awkward but maybe a bit of music would be nice. Staff Staff were friendly and welcoming and added the the chilled hippie...

Great food, but need more organisation with staff. Our food came out , but no drinks had to ask for them. Our friends on a seperate table had drinks, but no food. You could see one of the members of staff was flustered and to...

Came here for lunch today. Had the chorizo and pork meatball sub, it was all kinds of deliciousness! Service was efficient and friendly. Will definitely return.

Great service, wonderful outdoor setting and excellent food! My wife and I ate here with our two Springer Spaniels and had a very enjoyable experience. I was particularly impressed with the vegan option. Limited choice of dishes but all ingredients and produce sourced locally and...

Been in several times, and really like the place. Food is interesting and seems to change around a fair bit, coffee is defo their thing and it is a very good, and the home made cakes are a great treat. Have had issues here because...

Popped in for lunch with dogs after a long walk around lake. Sat outside in one of the wooden huts. We ordered a mixture of meals between the family. Meatball and chips for the boys, nachos and cheesy chips plus broccoli fritters and salad for...

We walked here from town and it is decorated so cute. They grind their own coffee beans and offer loose leaf tea. They have a large selection of cakes to choose from. Menu looked good but we only had dessert and tea.

Popped in a couple of times whilst on a walking holiday in Snowdonia. On both occasions the food was fantastic and the service exemplary. The beef chilli on Saturday was one of the best I've ever had - exquisitely tasty, great consistency, spicy but not...

Food was incredible, staff super friendly, lovely vibe. Barista made an incredible coffee and had a lovely chat. This cafe goes above and beyond and would highly recommend!

Called today, aiming for a light lunch, a sandwich or baked potato perhaps. (These were on the menu pre-Covid) Only 3 options on the board, no sandwiches or baked potatoes. Hmmm. Ended up with coffee and a cake. Spoke initially in Welsh - no-one able...

What a pleasant experience! We visited Caban after seeing the sign on the main road and boy are we glad we spotted it! All the food seems to be fresh and local, with plenty or vegan / vegetarian and meat options. We finished off our meals with a good sized cake and excellent coffee. You will not be leaving this place hungry! The staff were all very friendly which made the experience even better. Thoroughly recommend this place!

Since my glowing review in 2017, the quality of the food here has deteriorated a great deal. What a shame. The location is, as always, very pretty, but the menu has been drastically cut down. They used to have baked potatoes, sandwiches, soups, salads and a variety of bigger meals. Now, they have four different types of chips, and only three proper meals. The main meals are on their daily changing menu, so you have to check the website on the morning of your visit to see what’s on it (unless you only want a portion of chips, which is on their regular menu). Since their food has always been good, it didn’t occur to me to check the daily menu before visiting - I assumed it would include a variety of meals and that there would be something to suit everyone. Unfortunately, this was not the case. There was a kale risotto, a lamb hotpot, and something else, I don’t remember what. The hotpot had a layer of very greasy potatoes on top, a thin layer of minced lamb at the bottom (also rather greasy) and three or four chunks of vegetables. I make better meals at home, and I’m no chef. The staff were, as always, nice and friendly, and they have clearly made efforts to be Covid-safe. But the quality of the food was so poor, and the range of dishes so limited that I’m afraid to say I can no longer recommend Caban for lunch. Their cakes still look good, and they have a decent list of drinks, so I think I would go back for cake and coffee and see what that’s like now, but I would avoid eating any meals there.It’s such a shame, since the views are lovely and it used to be a great place for lunch, where you were guaranteed to have a good meal and plenty of options. Not any more, alas.

Had the pleasure of lunch and as I was staying just opposite, breakfast too . The breakfast rolls are superb. The staff are lovely and it was so nice to actually chat with staff rather than just having your food plonked in front of you like in some places. Great outdoor huts to eat in if you have a dog with you. I will definitely be visiting again next year for food and the great tea and coffee

Not much choice on the menu. Had to go for nachos. Very poor. Very basic nachos with some cheese and jalpenos and a blob of sour cream. No salsa, no avacado. The most basic nachos my friend amd I have every had. If you want a drink the menu is huge but food wouldnt bother

Four of us enjoyed lunch outdoors in one of the open wooden shelters amongst the pine trees at this lovely, unusual venue. Top marks to Ian and all the staff for their welcoming, friendly, efficient service and the absolutely delicious lunch. We commend the chef and enjoyed colourful salads, mouthwatering quiche and spicy patatas bravas.Inside the cafe was buzzing, which was so nice to see. It felt very covid-aware with staff all concientiously wearing masks without a fuss, which we appreciated, and made us feel safe and more relaxed.This is a great place to treat yourself to a coffee and cake or lunch out.

I was very close to coming here one morning but just didn’t get the time unfortunately I’m dog sitting but ive just checked out the photos and I’m pretty sure I would have given this five stars. So great job, keep up the good work. And hey Jenny if you see this :)

Had a lovely lunch here after a walk around Llyn Padarn.I had the chilli with 3 delicious salads.Can’t remember what my wife had now but she was impressed.Cakes looked nice but I was full!Service was excellent with very friendly staff.We had a dog with us so sat in the nice seated area outside.I don’t think dogs are allowed inside so not ideal for a winter visit if you have a dog.

Called into the Caban for late lunch after stopping for a coffee earlier in the day. Tried the specials with their home made salads. It was the best meal of our holiday in Wales. Visited some higher-end restaurants in Beaumaris in the same week and the Caban wins hands down. Great service and coffee too.

We popped in for lunch and have a really excellent meal. Everything freshly cooked, generous portions and everything we ordered was delicious. Plenty of choice for the vegans among us too. Excellent cakes with coffee as dessert. Service was with a smile and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Can highly recommend!

Always fresh and fabulously tasty food. Since Covid they have a reduced menu but always a daily vegan, veggie and a meat option. Wonderful range of cakes vegan and gluten-free.

Stumbled across this little gem while looking for somewhere to have lunch. Very tucked away, but so my kind of place. Yummy lunch. We loved it so much we paid another visit before the end of our holiday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As you can see from my title this cafe delivers a welcome deviation from the ubiquitous panini or sandwich with a couple of crisps on the side. I have been coming here for years and seen many changes but have been back twice since restrictions eased and it did not dissapoint. The first time was a coffee and a pistachio and cherry cake and the second time it was a trio of salad each salad was unique and delicious and it was topped with home made pickles, the service was excellent and the standard of food very high. It is obvious that someone in the kitchen understands about tasty healthy food.All of this in a tranquil and stylish setting both outside and inside

Visited Caban for coffee and cake to refresh us on a walk. Very good service, coffee and a great selection of cakes - portions are generous so the walk back was well fueled. Although we only had coffee and cake the menu looked very good.We enjoyed the cake so much we returned on another day to try other varieties!Staff are friendly and approachable.

Stumbled on this lovely little cafe while walking around Llyn padarn, food and service was excellent, Well worth a visit if your around the area!!

Lovely outside seating area and interior very clean and bright. We only discovered this cafe on our last day and called in for breakfast, which was limited but good quality, with great coffee. If we visit this area again, will try the lunch menu which sounded interesting and varied. Would definitely recommend.

Visited today, had delicious food although limited menu which is understandable due to covid but something for everyone, the tables are well set out. The young lady waitress was very welcoming and friendly. Will be visiting again.

I am a local resident of 10 years in the village.You can expect to pay double as much one might expect elsewhere.The food has gone downhill and isn't much better than supermarket cafes. It is still convenient if you cannot get to Llanberis.The worst dish I was every served actually came from here, when they tried to cook citric fruit and meat in aluminium pans, about 8 years ago. Table service is poor. Food and drinks arrive on the wrong side, but staff do ask if you would like anything. Cutlery is nasty. There is language barrier. During Covid, the place was packed. They forced us to order once when we sat in the communal garden, so we happily left. Perhaps they now own the garden? not sure?Bicycle shed is dangerous. Loose dogs are a concern for children. Staff look disgusted sometimes - I am not sure why - perhaps they are bored. Worst bit is the heavy metal chairs which makes it difficult to get up. Seating is crammed. Tables are too small, heavy and round. Birds are fed outside the windows, which is off-putting, made me feel ill. It can be very noisy when locals shout across the tables at one-another in local lingo. Otherwise, mildly satisfactory. Just not worth a punt anymore.

My first time here and I was impressed with the building and the interior and exterior. Lots of places to sit outside, even undercover. It was quite busy and I was lucky enough to get the last parking spot. The menu was quite limited (due to restrictions) but I would have liked to see a soup choice on there. My main meal was good and tasty (tomato and cocount dhal) but I was expecting larger salad portions (this is compared to similar establishments). The coffee was good and the staff were lovely. I will return - next time for coffee and cake.

Dropped in on a rainy Monday for an excellent lunch as always - sweet potato and chickpea curry. Wonderful spot, lovely staff and amazing veggie and vegan food. If I could I would eat here everyday.

A hidden gem of a cafe near Llanberis - as a vegetarian it’s not often I find myself spoilt for choice .... their lunchtime menu was the exception. I had the 3 salad option which was amazingly tasty & my husband had the bacon & mushroom breakfast roll. The waitress service was excellent & we left with take away cakes for later(bara brith & orange & almond cake). Highly recommend! Their Covid protocols were good too

More cake please!! Spur of the moment walk from Llanrug. Little hidden gem in Brynrefail. Brilliant coffee, packed a punch but smooth crema. Had a slice of the banana chai cake, ended up having another. IT WAS JUST THAT GOOD!!

Had lunch here today. It’s a really nice, relaxing place. I had the dahl which was absolutely lovely and came with interesting salads. Also had carrot cake which was probably the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. All in all excellent and will definitely go again!

I used to be a regular prior to lockdown and always ate lunch. I was put off for a while after I found a stone in my food but I went back prior to lockdown. I've been three times since lockdown was lifted and as this was the third occasion when i found the choice so disappointing thought I would write a review. I went with my friend and mum and we are all of 'a certain age'. The menu has gone so obscure. There used to be some plain choices (eg baked potatoes) and now it's all very over complicated veggie style. Or a very odd sounding overpriced breakfast bap...I noticed another group left without eating and the people near us were just picking at their lunch. Fair enough if this is the direction Y Caban has decided to take but I wanted to say a few more ordinary choices like before would have been so welcome. It's a shame in my opinion. Well I will still call for coffee but doubt that i will turn up for lunch again.

Loved it! We had the meal and drink lunch offer for £15 (£7.50 with eat out to help out). I had the vegan chilli which was DELICIOUS and my husband had the chorizo tortilla which he said was tasty but only had one bit of Chorizo in it. Drinks were nice. Great setting. Would go back again if in the area.

Was visiting Snowdonia for day and found this on the northern periphery towards Bangor. Found by chance and what a great find it was. There are a lot of places severing typical pub grub in the vicinity so this made a pleasant change. The menu is relatively short, but all the options I could see were freshly made, decent sizes and tempting! I had the chorizo, homegrown kale and feta filo pie which came with a generous portion of bread, salad and a drink for £15. If I’d had room I would have opted for one of there cakes too! We ate in the large, pleasant garden out the back. Service was great especially considering how busy it was due to ‘Eat Out to Help Out.’

Great food. But disappointed with the general attitude towards the Welsh Language. considering it is in the middle of a Welsh language community. Man behind the counter was very arrogant and extremely rude when I asked a question in Welsh where he replied "don't speak Welsh". Make an effort or be polite about not speaking the language. Monolingual menu's as well. Used to be a warm bilingual cafe, now not so much.

Didnt score low as dont want to damage your reputation as you have a fantastic thing going on I just wanted to leave my feedback. I've been a regular visitor for a few years now and this was my first post virus visit. Unfortunately I've left disappointed for the first time ever. In my opinion the pricing seems to be off. £10 for a bacon roll and a drink seems very steep to say the least. £15 for lunch and a drink even steeper. I know you guys would have lost out on a lot of custom this year and being a business owner myself so have I. One thing I've certainly not done however is pass the cost of the lost profits onto my customers. Thats poor in my opinion. Also guys, being cashless is nothing to be proud of. If you're willing to dish receipts out you should be accepting the currency of the land.

Had a delicious meal here yesterday. Sat outside on the decking. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Cannot wait to return.

Delicious food. I had a bacon sandwich and it was the best I have ever tasted. The lemon cake and hot chocolate were great as well.

Today we came to visit the cafe and had a variety of vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes. SO SO YUMMY. beautiful portions and places fantastically. we love it!

We have been to this place many times over the years. We've also had great food there. Last Sunday was no exception. My wife and I are both vegetarian. There always plenty of choice. They always have different dishes on the specials board each time we go. The food tastes fresh and wholesome. The service is very friendly and prompt. They also serve excellent coffee and homemade cakes. If you are in the area check it out.

Lovely spot, nice views, good atmosphere, good value healthy wholesome homemade food. Will return again for sure.

Have had some excellent meals here recently. They have all the cafe staples (sandwiches, baked potatoes etc) but they also offer more unusual choices such as chicken shawarma. Their specials can be amazing! Can highly recommend Caban.

We often go for a weekend meal . A varied and interesting menu, good service and opportunities for the children to play. Recommended.

Another great lunch at The Caban. Delicious home-made soups, tasty and chunky ham sandwiches and veggie chilli. Finished off with a freshly baked cake! Excellent service too. What’s not to like? This place feels like a best kept secret of North Wales.

Found by a google search this cafe is indeed a hidden gem patronised mainly by the local community, We dined there on 2 occasions, the latter for Sunday lunch that whilst being expensive £11.50 it was delicious and plentiful. There is a varied specials board and always a selection of delicious home baked cakes. Their soft drinks seem expensive, my wife had a small bottle of coke costing £2.05. Best stick to the free tap water.

Had lunch yesterday. Absolutely delicious. We all had different dishes. Really attentive service. My first visit. Great atmosphere and surroundings dings

I regularly have meeting at the caban and the atmosphere is really excellent. Meetings often run into lunch and their variety, attention to dietary needs and service is superb. Highly recommended

Visited a week ago after a nice walk with a friend. Had a lovely lunch and a really good latte. We decided to go back yesterday, what a disappointment!!!!. On the specials board it said Chicken rice noodles curry soup and popadom £5.50 so we both went for that and a latte with Almond milk. The soup came and it smelt delicious. And the taste was lovely not to spicy but we were so disappointed, it was full of vegetables and not a single pieace of chicken in it. Should have read vegetable and noodle soup on the board. When we told the staff she said oh yes someone else said the same. It's because it was at the end of the pot!!! The bill came and they charged us £5.55 each for the soup not the £5.50 written on the specials board and they charged us 30p extra each for the oat milk (even though we had asked for Almond milk), that was not stated on the menu or told to us on ordering, So all in all the second visit was disappointing. Won't be visiting again any time soon.

Lovely place but please filter you water. The chemical/ chlorine taste/ smell is so strong in the water you offer

Great venue, really friendly staff and fantastic food. Celebrated my mums birthday with an evening party (out of normal hours). Staff could not have been more helpful and the Tapas menu is amazing!

Went to Caban for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the varied and creative menu satisfying whichever diet you choose to follow. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was excellent, full of flavour and well constructed. The coffee was superb. I am a self confessed coffee snob and have high standards so was very satisfied with the richness of the bean and the skills of the barista. Will Definitely go back whenever I can.

Just called in for a pot of tea and coffee in the afternoon. Seating inside and out. Good selection of snacks and cakes available.

We called here twice for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place is a little haven in the woods and the food is delicious. Quite a different menu, something for everyone, meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. All locally sourced and nicely cooked.

Lovely building, interior was nice, outside was nice, coffee was nice, didnt seem cheap but that was fine. Staff seemed a little unhappy and not very friendly that was the only down side. Seemed Like a good setup to accommodate other uses or social gatherings which was nice

Love my visits to Caban. I live locally and have always been pleased with the food on offer and the good service provided by the friendly staff. The surroundings are beautiful and very relaxing. Well worth a visit and dogs allowed in the outside seating area. Such a good idea to have a vibrant community project frequented by many local people which is a reliable advertisement! Keep up the good work!

Excellent food, excellent service and brilliant that it’s dog friendly! Great place for families. 10/10 must visit!!!

Have wanted to visit for a long time. Was impressed by the fantastic building and stunning location. Staff were friendly and efficient. Menu was varied and well priced. The burger meal was great, our kids loved the wholesome pasta and quality sausage meal. My husband and I had the jerk bean curry with two and three sides respectively. The side of daal would have been enough it was so big, but we bravely cleared our plates. What a gorgeous, healthy tasty meal! We will definitely return as we were too full up for cakes and they looked delicious. Nice touch of providing a chalk board and games too.

£16+ for two sandwiches with a tiny bit of salad and some of those cardboardy natcho things. First and last time. Staff where very pleasant. Cheaper places in Llanberis itself.

I am a bit of a breakfast person, so it was really nice to find a full English breakfast, cooked and served so beautifully in Wales. High quality food and wonderful staff.

My family meet us here all the time we love it here, sunday lunch is amazing and ALL THE STAFF are fantastic always, my uncle drives up specially to eat there! Great food great service sells out as its so good!❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
