Cafe Glendwr & Glaslyn Ice Cream in Gwynedd

What is there not to like about cheesy garlic bread, spicy pepperoni pizza and chips…. Washed down with a local brown beer and a red wine! Lovely staff.. no nonsense tasty food, loads of space if you have a large group and a good sized outside area if the suits! The menu has good variety for ages and dietary needs.. pop in if you find yourself in this part of Snowdonia!

Great place with a lovely family atmosphere. We enjoyed a walk first around the breathtaking landscape then returned here. The staff were lovely and friendly. Would return

Brilliant ice creams with a large selection of flavours I had the vanilla and honeycomb which was lovely. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Enjoyed a takeaway on the first evening of our one week stay at Beddgelert . Tasty pizzas - pre ordered . We enjoyed the ice creams at Glaslyn ices as well over the coming days !

Best ice cream parlour so far in this village. We stayed around area for couple of days and keep enjoying fabulous flavours of ice cream every day. Ice cream has flavour and good taste. Service was great even it was after school time and there was a big queue of school kids. Definitely recommend this place if you are near here then don't forget to taste the ice cream. You'll never get any fault.

Stopped for ice creams whilst on a train trip to Beddgelert. The white chocolate, cherry ripple and turkish delight flavours were delicious and reasonably priced. We choose to have double tubs but an assortment of different types of cones and portion sizes were available. There was a bit of a queue, due to the popularity of the ice cream, but we were served quite quickly and the staff were friendly and polite.

Came for ice cream on the recommendation of plas Dinas where we stayed. Flavour amazing, very smooth and lovely walk along the river

Went for ice cream,I need gluten free (celiac ) and the young staff could not have been more helpful, checked the flavours I wanted on the allergen chart,opened a new tub to serve me & washed the scoops before serving. They didn't make me feel I was a nuisance even though they were really busy. Lovely ice cream 🍦 😋 and great service. You should be very proud of your staff

We decided to have a coffee their which is amazing hot drink ever. The staff was helpful and friendly with good services ever. The coffee was artistic and lovely

My husband and I popped in for a light lunch. A good choice of lunch time baps and really lovely rustic chips . Service was friendly and efficient and the cost was reasonable too. Will definitely be returning to try the evening menu.

Wow, what service and quality. We struggle sometimes to find suitable restaurants to eat because my partner has a million dietary requirements. We walked inside Glaslyn, sheepishly looking for a menu and the salad bar to see if any food was suitable. A waitress asked if we were OK and we began to explain to her the range of allergies we need to avoid. As soon as she realised that she wouldn't be able to work out which foods were suitable, she called the head chef. He is amazing. He listened carefully and consulted his allergens book. He suggested various options and my partner was able to choose a salad. I had an amazing bbq chicken pizza and some nice Welsh cider. For my partner, the chef prepared a salad of, carrot and coconut, beetroot and apple, roasted vegetables and mixed leaves. She is the expert in salads and described this as the best one she's ever had. Wow! Thank you to all staff at Glaslyn. I hope this review brings the crowds flooding 😊

Popped in for a breakfast bacon roll last Saturday 2nd March and enjoyed it so much we came back in the evening for the pizza. We weren’t disappointed. Our order was taken by a friendly member of staff at the counter. We ordered the Gwynant with extra Snowdonia cheese and my husband had the Cnicht again with extra Welsh Blue cheese. Ordered portion of chips and they were so good we didn’t need to salt them. My husband is Sicilian and he said the pizza here was better than the ones he has eaten in Sicily. So if you want pizza in Wales with a great atmosphere then this is the place to go. Highly recommend. Dog friendly too as our little dog happily ate the pizza too!! 10/10

Brilliant pizzas, friendly service (yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg!) and really accommodating to veggies/vegans too. Very much recommended!

The best salad I have eaten, pizza got fab reviews from our son and all round service was great. Super impressed to have found this today. We will be back!!!

Great pizza. I am gluten free so I chatted to staff before ordering a gf pizza and they explained how they try to minimise cross contamination which put my mind at ease. Really friendly staff and v good food.

This spot is great for lunch. Plenty of outdoor seating for summer but given the time of year we ate inside. The gentleman who served us was really proud of this restaurant and he was right to be. The pizza is probably the best I have eaten. The sourdough base was great tasting and the pizza cooked to perfection. They also own the ice-cream shop next door and that is definitely the best ice-cream I have ever had. The chocolate coconut proved my favourite. Will definitely be back.

We went for ice creams, there was a huge selection of flavours. But what stood out was when one of our party asked about a gluten intolerance. The knowledge and consideration of the guy was second to none, not just with the cones, but how the ice cream was scooped to avoid any kind of contamination. Really good.

Best pizza I have ever had! Service was quick and the pizzas are made from scratch with local ingredients. There is a lovely, covered outside eating area but dogs are allowed inside.

Zeer lekkere en luchtige pizza. Ruim restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. Gezellige sfeer. Centrale ligging

This is truly an occasion where I need more stars to give! I'm ashamed to say we visited this place 3 times on our trip through Snowdonia. We kept choosing drives that **happened** to pass through Beddgelert.😊 The charming young man behind the counter, Andrew, was extremely friendly & knowledgeable and you could tell how proud he is to work there-you don't see that often these days, and he's a real credit to this business. As far as the ice cream -absolutely to die for. I've been working my way through the US and UK ice cream shops for 40 years, and I've recently been in Italy. The strawberry sorbet here rivals that of Italy-honestly! The other awesome flavour-that you never see anywhere - is banana chocolate chip. Banana ice cream is very rare, but to be combined with dark chocolate chips?! I'll be dreaming of Glaslyn ice cream long after I get back to Yorkshire. We also ate at Glaslyn pizza next door, and it was very good. Light and fluffy crust, fresh ingredients, reasonable prices. If you stop in for ice cream and have the pleasure of meeting Andrew, tell him "Mrs Banana choc chip" sent you!

Had a pepperoni and feta pizza and it was gorgeous! The staff were so friendly and accommodated different tastes. The base of the pizza was hand stretched and honestly one of best pizzas I have found around.....a little gem of a place

We waited for a long time to get a pizza - feta cheese vegetarina pizza - the feta was just a few crumbs , no garlic mushrooms and an assortment of garden veg - no cheese at all - not appetising and we didnt want to eat it

Not visited for about 20 years. The same unique ice cream with a great selection of flavours. Not the cheapest but great for a treat.

After our climb up Moel Hebog, we enjoyed a delightful pizza dinner at this restaurant. The pizza choices were varied and were very tasty. The friendly and helpful staff provided excellent service. We also enjoyed a local ice cream after dinner. We felt very satisfied.

After a little confusion over the signage with where to book/ask for a table we had a very friendly and helpful member of the team take us to a bench outside under cover.Great explanation on ordering via smartphone and no issues there whatsoever. Very easy and straightforward.The food was delicious - fantastic panini and hotdog, and lovely local beer. All fresh, hot, and only a short wait as well.The staff were all very helpful and the place was very clean and COVID secure.I'd highly recommend.Ps. Ice cream at the adjoining parlour is also delicious (didn't partake this time as we were full from lunch!).

We arrived in Beddgelert tired and hungry, and had read the pizzas were good here. We ordered the pizza ‘combo’ which included a pizza, side dish and a craft beer for £15. The patron (I think) was welcoming and friendly and helped us through the ordering process. The pizzas, chips, salad and olives were really tasty and well made and nothing disappointed. Hoping to order again before we finish our holiday.

Had an amazing pizza, made with local blue cheese and was so tasty! The pizza base was the best I have had in so long and our little pug was allowed in too, Very friendly staff, very tentative and super tasty food and Walsh beers and ciders, highly recommend! Thank you!

First time visiting here, the pizzas were excellent, great local produce used for menu and great reasonable prices. My only issue in why I haven’t given this place a 5 is the high usage of single use plastic cups, cutlery etc which isn’t good for the environment considering the beautiful area this restaurant is located

We popped in for a quick bite and was delighted to get their home made panini. It was more of a calzone style which was a pleasant surprise they were delicious!!!! The 2 lovely ladies who served us were both so friendly and welcoming. Will be back for pizza and Icecream next time.

We love this place and have been here a few times with family and friends! The pizzas are made fresh to order at whatever time suits you and are really delicious (good veggie and vegan options!) The ice cream has won awards and is so good- can recommend hazelnut and honeycomb vanilla! Can't recommend this highly enough and feels very safe in coronavirus times!

Delicious ice creams - so many interesting flavours to choose from! Would recommend the toffee crunch and vanilla honeycomb. Well set up for COVID-19 restrictions too. Always busy but doesn’t take long to be served.

Ordered takeaway pizza one night during our weeks stay. Booked in advance with pick up time and cooked fresh and packaged ready to go. Very nice and can mix and match toppings. Very friendly staff. Ice creams in the day were lovely with little queues. Would definitely recommend

Visited Beddgelert over the weekend and stopped off for an ice cream as it has been recommended a few times. Didn’t disappoint! They have a good system set up for social distancing too and the staff are very friendly :)

Outstanding!! I can see why there is a wall of awards. I have been in the patisserie industry for over 10 years, this is the best ice cream I have tried in Wales. Service was friendly and helpful too. We all had pizza too and we’ve very impressed. Well worth a visit.

Went here staying at a nearby holiday park and wanted a pizza. Went on their website, ordered a collection slot (you have to allow an hour) and then ordered food. Really simple process. Had Llywelyn calzone, Margherita pizza, Mac and cheese and chips. It was all beautiful food, really tasty. The pizzas were handstretched. Mac and cheese was lovely, had leek in which was a good addition. On arrival we went to a window, gave our name and ordered the food. There were people sat on picnic benches outside eating too so clearly very popular. Staff really friendly. Nice to see how a business has managed to keep themselves going through these troubling times and pleased to be able to support a local business.

Excellent lunch. Pizza, panini and ice creams were all really good. Nice to have local beer as well. Well worth a visit.

Just had takeaway Pizzas and they were delicious. You can add toppings to suit and they are all cooked fresh to order. Would recommend.

Doing some great takeaway pizzas while locked down. Really enjoyable and tasty. Ice creams are always top notch with a great range of flavours. Can't fault them. Oh and a fudgey stick rather than a flake is a revelation😂

This has been a food destination of choice since starting to come to Beddgelert to organise mtb races in the forest in the early 90’s. Still regularly call in when out cycling for the best Pizzas in Britain. Cnicht is my fave. Always treated well by a young team who are keen to give good service. Good outdoor seating by river is cyclist friendly so you can watch your bikes too as you eat. If only this was a national chain.

We had delicious takeaway pizza followed by excellent ice cream. Pizza toppings were very good - including 1st class mozzarella and A local blue cheese, lovely local mushrooms and a very good tomato sauce. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were friendly and very helpful. They are doing a fantastic job dealing with customers in this less than normal summer season. Highly recommend.

We stopped here after walking up snowdon. A real treat, great ice cream with a good selection of flavours, including a tasty blackcurrant sorbet which our milk intolerant daughter loved. Fully covid compliant. Great all round

Outstanding. Not just the food which was exquisite with local ingredients but the staff there really add to the experience. An absolute must for both great pizza and great ice cream.

Oh my word,the pizza was great but as for the ice cream this was as good as you get in Italy.Pistachio ,rum and raisin are my favourite and were excellent.The restaurant is very Covid aware,and has put a lot of thought into customer and staff safety.We ordered a family combo at a hatch,collected from a different one.We were going to order online but signal dropped off ,so we placed our order at the hatch and went for a walk by the river,to see the dog Gelert's grave.When we returned because of the well thought out layout of the takeaway and because there was only one other group of people at tables in the outdoor eating area we ate outside.First meal out since before lockdown,such a treat.Note, if you have been there before there are now social distancing arrows printed on what used to be the carpark. The main carpark is beyond the Glaslyn on the right.

We visited during lockdown but the Glaslyn was open for take away service. They were well organised with their queuing, making sure that everyone was adequately protected. A separate ordering hatch and a separate collection hatch. The most important thing was that the ice cream we bought was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Booked for my family to eat outside on the tables due to Covid restrictions. Food was ready on time at the specified time. We ordered the family meal which was great value for 2 adults and 2 hungry kids. Pizzas were delicious with 2 sides and some lovely ice cream to finish. Would definitely recommend this place

We have often had pizzas from here and always enjoyed them, so today, after a walk nearby with my husband and daughter, we dropped in, however we were quite hungry and so decided that a panini may be a better choice as it shouldn't take so long to cook, how wrong we were! On the menu was a tuna, cheese and onion panini but as my daughter does not like onion, I ordered one without, the girl looked a little confused, as she only knows the paninis by name (Joan!) so, I repeated "One Joan but with no onion please" I also ordered 2 Ruperts (ham and cheese paninis!) We then waited 25 minutes, having commented that we could have gone home and made them ourselves by now. Strangely the "paninis" were made with pizza dough! (so not paninis at all then!) this made them extremely thin indeed, with not much filling to make up for it. The 'Joan' came complete with onions despite having asked for it without (twice). All three of us were left very unimpressed and came away hungry. Stick to pizzas guys!

We had a wonderful day walking up to Rhyd Ddu and back. Beautiful mountain views, wild ravines and through the enchanting Beddgelert Forest. Naturally, once back in Beddgelert we had to stop in at Glaslyn for their delicious homemade ice cream. Of course you can't help yourself once you see the folks outside lounging on the curbside wall or sitting nearby, all enjoying those enticing frosty cones. The ice cream is exceptional and there are so many great choices. You can tell the folks that work there enjoy what they are doing.

Their award winning ice cream cannot be passed, its just not possible as its so good. The walls of awards are a bit of a giveaway, but the choice is amazing - be daring try something new!Pity their Pizza place was shut during the packed half term week - what were they thinking?

Had to stop virtually every day in Beddgelert to have one of these lovely ice creams. The flavours are really great and it is not surprising to see why they have so many awards. A single scoop is usually enough - but on certain days it had to be a double. Lovely!

Went here for ice cream with my 9 year old son who has type 1 diabetes. The staff were fantastic. They weighed out 40g of ice cream so that we could accurately count the carbs for his insulin, and were really lovely to him. And to top it all off they refused to let me pay for his ice cream! Genuinely amazing customer service - we'll be back again. Oh, and my dark chocolate ice cream was delicious too.

Great place for Pizzas, where my wife was able to have GF pizza and I had a lunch time pizza, but these are slim calzone’s, perfect for lunch. This was followed by an ice cream and although it was from next door, its all part of the same restaurant! Again they had GF cone’s and a great array of flavours, which tasted great. Plenty of parking nearby (not free), and a few slots on site. Recommended for lunch and GF options!

Called in for lunch today and had the best calzones we have ever had. Freshly prepared with plenty of well flavoured fillings and nicely crispy dough. The garlic bread was delicious. Would definitely eat here again. The only (very minor) constructive criticism is the knifes weren't sharp enough to cut through the calzone.We went to the kiosk for ice cream for dessert (suggested by our server as we had forgotten it was there), and had lovely tasty ice cream with generous scoops. Would highly recommend this place

Traveling through Beddgelert we stopped for a quick refreshment break. It was lovely to see the shop still operating after being away for a number of years. Great selection of ices a s sorbets to choose from. Would recommend the cherry ripple 🍦🍦(sorry no photos)

We called for coffee and cake and both were excellent. The welcome was warm and friendly. We must return for Ice cream, they look amazing.

Wonderful choice of flavours and plenty of ice cream for your money . The wall outside is well situated for advertisement and so you haven’t strayed too far if you feel the need to try another flavour . Definitely worth a visit .

We ate here last night , the best pizza outside of Italy, friendly service reasonable prices for food and wine. Could not fault the place

Ice cream was poor this time didn't taste the same from the last time we came, quite sloppy and didn't have the same wow factor as on our previous visits. I'm aware that it is busy this time of the year, staff seemed to be bothered about the custom rather than the customer service.

We had another lovely visit to Glaslyn Ices. We’ve enjoyed ice creams all over Europe and Glaslyn Ices has always been a special place for us over the last 20 years. Always lovely flavours, great choices, good quality, friendly service, with something new available as well as our favourites. Derek and Elaine are always committed to keeping customers happy. When we had allergies in the family they were so helpful and accommodating - more than any other place we’ve visited. We read the recent review of the self-professed “ice cream expert” who criticised Glaslyn Ices and we think that was a totally unfair and unjustifiable review. We’ve never been disappointed at Glaslyn Ices, and know this is a genuine local business committed to providing lovely ice creams. Thank you and we look forward to visiting many times in the future.

As we were walking around Beddgelert village, we kept smelling something fabulous but wasn’t sure where it was coming from until we went to Glaslyn. We ordered 2 pizzas and they soon arrived and tasted absolutely delicious. There was help yourself water but we also bought a couple of lemonades too. The pizzas cost £12 each, a little pricey but really gorgeous - however, the ice cream was also quite pricey and was just okay really, nothing special really considering the price. Just a couple of tubs with 2 scoops in each and a slightly stale flake came to almost £11.00 - I would have liked some chocolate sauce maybe.

As a chef I looked forward to this place, as it had many awards on the wall. Well what can I say, as an ice cream addict and having eaten in many of the top ice cream places in Italy. Well it's full of additives and conditioners! TASTES VERY CHEMICAL LADEN...From my very attuned tastebuds this place is a rip off, yes this place may have won awards , but not with the cheap ice cream they are serving now. Awards are won in canny ways and tricks used...I know being an Award Winning Chef myself and a judge...privy to trade secrets!

Visited on a lads climbing trip, ice cream was so expensive considering it was tasteless and a micro portion!!! We (for some reason) went back that night for pizza, 3 quid for barely a small handful of overcooked oven chips dripping in oil to go with outright burnt margarita pizza also dripping in oil, green oil at that, which took one hour, despite being told 20 minutes, offered free ice cream to say sorry...yeah right!!! I need something with atleast a hint of flavour, get me outta here!!!

Great pizza, vegan options available. The ice cream shop is fantastic. Normally 20 flavours available inc 3 or 4 sorbets

We visited here during bank holiday with friends and family. On the first day we asked if there was any ice cream that had no dairy, to our shock the lady didnt seem to know what DID HAVE dairy, this we thought was because it was her first shift or something like that, excusable, the ice cream was however very average. We went back the next day and was served by a different lady who was quite obviously not interested. Unhelpful even quite rude, we all picked different flavours again but still quite flavourless, had coffee next door which I think is attached? Much nicer service but weak not very nice cappuccino, overall, very expensive and average, had heard this place was a bit of a ripoff from some locals, didnt expect this bad though.

I visited with my Mum while we were staying in Beddgelert after our B&B; owners recommended it.

Delicious vegan pizza with tasty toppings and served by friendly helpful staff . Would definitely go back. Reasonable prices too

Originally came for pizza and were disappointed to find out it was closed which wasn’t obvious when doing a google search. Nevertheless we stayed for ice cream and it was one of the best ice cream I have ever had. Good range of flavours and even did a gluten free cone!

This is an ice-cream parlour/pizza restaurant. We only bought ice-cream from here and we thought this was first class ice cream. Good value considering the quality.

After the rudeness experienced in Tanronnen Inn we visited Glaslyn instead.

When a friend heard that we were visiting the Beddgelert area, the first thing that she said was that we had to check out the ice cream shop. We did - on the first day that we were there - and it truly is quite special. The first day was a sunny day and there was quite a queue which probably meant a 10 mins wait. There are a huge variety of flavours and so it takes some people, (us included), a minute or two to choose and, despite this, we never felt rushed or that the people selling the ice cream were annoyed. In fact, I got the impression that they were very used to people struggling to make up their mind and it didn't seem to be a problem at all. The ice cream isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination but it's very good - a lovely treat - and it's great to see a local business seemingly doing so well and excelling at what they do. I have to admit that we ended up going back to treat ourselves again in order to try more of the flavours...good job there is lots of amazing walking in the area to burn off some of the calories! A definite 5 stars for the ice cream shop!

It has the reputation of having the best ice cream in the United Kingdom. It lives up to the hype. Excellent pistachio ice cream. The line was out the door.

Well, with all the hype we just had to pop in here to purchase an ice-cream

Great freshly baked pizza. Lovely fresh salad. Tasty local beer. Topped off by delicious home made ice cream. Fantastic service. Highly recommend. Free parking. Outside eating area by river. A most.

Lovely place to pick up an ice cream on the walk back to the car park after visiting Gellert’s grave. Decent prices too.

Was happy to see the restaurant had re-opened after having some lovely breakfasts and meals in previous years. Did not disappoint. Had a veggie pizza and a calzone plus a large salad to share. Generous portions and it all tasted delicious. Decided to be reckless and have dessert, OMG. The key lime pie was lovely but then there’s the strawberry and white chocolate tiramisu. Whoever devised this is a magician, it was incredible. Was planning to eat somewhere else tonight but think we may change our plans

The ice cream was recommended to us as the best in the area and we were not disappointed. Good choice of flavours, including some different ones such as Turkish delight. Average prices but certainly not average taste. Well worth a visit.

Very nice restaurant.Reservation is possible.Staff found very cooperative in this. They serve delicious beers as well. The pizza's for my partner and myselves were prepared with love and baked with live. Nothing negative to mention.

Although within walking distance from home, we had not previously visited the restaurant since under new management within the same family. We were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent. Two enjoyed Calzone with ordinary tomato sauce substituted instead of the spicy one. Another diner had the Calzone without the artichokes and I was delighted to have the best gluten-free and dairy-free pizza (with extra ham and without dairy-free cheese) I have ever had, being delighted that it was nice and crispy, given that gluten-free products are normally so friable. Drinks were one of the fine choice of beers, apple juice and a bottle of a yummy red wine. We will be back!

We had to come here for our 'holiday' ice cream, but on seeing the pizzeria was open next door, we decided to give them a try. The staff were really friendly and the service was very quick, although it was mid afternoon when we arrived. We had a four cheese pizza ( sorry, I can not remember the name, and can not now find a menu) and also a ham and mushroom one. They were absolutely delicious, the ingredients used were really flavoursome, and really reasonably priced. We then went next door for a take-out ice cream... my wife was very disappointed they had no 'chocolate and stem ginger' ice cream as there is no where in Norfolk ( or anywhere else in the country for that matter that we have seen) that makes ice cream like Glaslyn or has that flavour, but said the hazelnut was lovely, and I had a delicious creme brulee. The best meal we had all weeks holiday.... hoping when we are back in September 2020 that the stem ginger is back for sale!!

We came in after a long walk up Snowdon. Staff were helpful and extremely friendly, pizza was great. Lovely outdoor seating overlooking the river. Will come back next year.

Was staying in beddgelert as a group of 6 of us and was glad to see the pizza place reopen.

Been going for years now, doesn’t seem to be as much flavours now but still always nice. Accept cards which is always useful

We saw the ice cream shop next door, part of the same business, and decided to return in the evening to try the pizzas. The part we visited was a long room with hardly enough space to get between tables. We ordered at the counter, but there was a notice on the counter to the effect that "None of the food in the display cabinet was for sale". The pizzas arrived in good time, but of good size and tasty with sufficient toppings. It was the place that put us off a little, rather than the food.

Love this place, the pizzas are freshly cooked and are always very tasty, then to go out side and enjoy the best ice cream in Wales in the stunning Welsh country side, it just doesn’t get any better....

It started so well, we were looking for takeaway pizza as staying in the village and were told that would be approx 30mins but would call when nearly ready. So when no call came after 45mins I walked back to the takeaway and queued again. So by the time I was seen it was an hour after order, only to be told that ours were next in line to be made (they hadn't even started making the pizzas!). A bit of an apology from the manager and the pizzas were ready 10 mins later. Pizzas were really good, if a little pricey for takeaway. Ice cream also great.

Great service, lovely staff, fantastic artisan pizza menu and ice cream parlour. A must do if visiting the wonderful village of Beddgelert.

Had the snowdon pizza with my husband as takeaway. Size is quite small for the price but it tasted nice. Long queues during tourist season so arrive well before 6pm or prepare for a long wait.

Popped in after an afternoon of mountain biking, got seated quickly. Great choice of menu. The kids option get to chose ice cream from the attached shop, which is good. The pizzas are freshly made and are very very tasting. I would definitely recommend this place.

I had to convince my partner that ice cream on a drizzly April was a good idea. Well I am glad we did. I had salted caramel and white chocolate icecream and he had Jamaican rum and raisin. The one I had was full of chocolate chips and and tasted amazing. He agreed it was a good idea and really enjoyed his as well

Having been to the pizza parlour at Glaslyn a few years ago we were looking forward to trying it again now it’s reopened. You can tell that the staff have put time and thought into the menu and ingredients and we thought the pizzas were delicious and better than our previous visits. We even managed to squeeze in dessert. We hope that as the weather picks up and the summer season starts you get the custom as we think it’s a great addition to beddgelert and somewhere we’d come every holiday as long as it’s here.

My son and I popped in for pizza today and were welcomed by friendly staff the menu was suitably varied and tasted wonderful we will return

We popped into here during the day for a takeaway ice cream. Crazy for April as the queue was long but worth the wait and should not be bypassed! The homemade gelato is delicious could have eaten it twice over!

Beautiful home made ice cream famous throughout North Wales. This cafe - ice cream shop is always extremely popular which is testament to the level of quality you can expect and experience here . Staff always welcoming and friendly will see us frequenting on a regular basis .

The ice cream was, as always, divine but the pizzas were very mediocre. We've visited many times over the years but this time we were very underwhelmed.

We stopped by last night to the restaurant beside the ices, and were made very welcome, lovely pizzas, and friendly service. I think it might have been their opening night, and it went very smoothly- we were very happy customers!

Glaslyn Ices produce what is quite possibly the best ice cream I have had outside of Italy. My wife and I have visited on many occasions when we are holidaying in Snowdonia and have always had excellent ice cream. The range of flavours is very impressive and the quality always high. This is one of those places you should make a point of visiting whenever you are in the area. They have a small car park to the side of the shop and there is a larger public car park less than five minutes walk away.

It is the second time we have broken a mountain hike in Beddglert at Glaslyn Ices. Both times the ice cream has been of a superb standard. We holiday in Italy and it compares with the best of Gelato Bars. We ate ours outside on the terrace with our dog, who had some fresh water in one of their bowls. The lady serving us this second visit could have smiled a little though.

We live not far from Beddgelert, and a visit there without a visit to Glaslyn Ices would be unthinkable. The wall of awards in the shop from just about every competition in the UK, and many abroad, says it all.

The ice cream here is worth every penny. Absolutely delicious. Would recommend the wild cherry flavour.

The ice cream here is to die for!, it might be expensive but it is so worth it. Me and my husband came back three times in the same week. Definitely recommend. Cheap and quality don’t go together.

Usually give this ice-cream parlour 5 stars but this year (and I've been visiting this ice-cream parlour every year for the last six years at least) I was disappointed to find only two of the freezers with ice-cream in. Almost half the flavours advertised were missing and as soon as one of the tubs emptied, it was replaced with an empty metal tub not a fresh tub of ice-cream. I checked the time to see if I'd arrived close to closing but there was at least another hour and half before it would close so it didn't make sense. It didn't live up to my expectations in respect to variety, the expectations that had been put in place by my previous visits here. The ice-cream was just a good - first class - but didn't understand why choices were so limited.
