Caffi Cedron @ Eisteddfa Fishery in Gwynedd

We were travelling home to England and all needed a breakfast ! We initially drove into the centre of Criccieth to find other cafes busy. We decided to journey home and stop at a roadside cafe if and when we saw one! Further down the road I saw a sign for Cafe and Fisheries and we immediately turned left and thank goodness we did ! We followed the forest road and came to a small pond and benches some swings and a cafe ! They allowed dogs which was great and as the weather was sunny we walked through the cafe and to the other side to a decked area overlooking a beautiful lake. The cafe was popular and some people we eating teas a cakes which also looked amazing ! We ordered 4 large breakfasts and were not disappointed ! Lovely friendly service and lovely food with a lovely view ! So glad we found this haven and didn’t get a bacon buttie from Criccieth as originally planned . This will definitely be our homeward journey breakfast stop off from now on !

An excellent brunch and very peaceful surroundings. We were coming back from Pwllheli and needed to stop for brunch, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, it was a nice day so we sat on the balcony overlooking the angling lake, which was so tranquil. We both had an all day breakfast, which was good value and delicious. Not really much to add other than worth stopping by for a snack when driving along the A497.

The homemade cakes are to die for. Excellent service and really friendly. Highly recommend visit! Very relaxing outside, overlooking the lake.

Great find. Great food at good price. The chilli was especially good. Despite being very busy, the staff worked through the orders efficiently. Good coffee too.

Well worth a visit if in the area! We had a breakfast bap, and 2 sausage baps with 2 teas and a pepsi, service friendly plenty of choice and fairly priced! If in the area again will certainly be visiting, thank you 🙌🏻

This is a lovely cafe with views over the fishing lakes. It adjoins the caravan park and there's a short path so made it really handy for a full cooked 'fisherman's breakfast' on our last day. All the components - eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown etc etc were included, cooked well and are good value with a mug of tea or coffee. They also do lunches and cakes but check opening hours first in the winter months.

Breakfast on our last day, excellent snd so friendly. Lunch menu looks good too. Local produce. Wish we'd found it sooner

Was recommended to drop in for breakfast and wow were we pleased we did. I went for the large breakfast and it provided me with sustenance to last till tea. Delicious ingredients. ESP the the Black pudding. And proper espresso machine coffee. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere too.

What a well kept secret! Lovely and clean, friendly and yummee food (Welsh Rarebit, chips and peas). We chose to sit outside even though it was a bit chilly and drizzly. We live locally but had never been here before, but we’ll be back. Good vale too.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean tables. Toilets clean and tidy. Grandaughter aged 2 and niece aged 8 Good place to eat. Food good quality and tasty.

Clean and friendly cafe in lovely surroundings. Food fresh and top quality ingredients, prepared in minutes while you wait. We left our dog in the car and the owner even packed up a couple of sausages for our dog' s doggy bag. Yummy vegetarian options available. Nice way to start the day

Beautiful food and setting. Lady serving was unwelcoming and unfriendly. Breakfast was lovely and the guy there was friendly just the older lady was extremely rude this morning so I don’t think we will go back. I moved the umbrella on our table as it was blocking the view and shading the table next to us when we put it up. She was so rude about it.

Very friendly and efficient staff and excellent food. Stopped here for breakfast on our way home and will do so again if we are near

Friendly staff, reasonable prices and good food, there is a small lake one side of the café that you can look at or rolling hills the other side, nice place to stop so would highly recommend.

Have driven past a few times and wondered what it was like, so followed the sign off the main road from Cricceth to Porthmadog, and what a find. Beautiful, peaceful, lovely people and enjoyed a first class toasted cheese sandwich with pot of tea. the sandwich was served with all the trimmings which was totally unexpected. Will definitely return.

Great quality breakfast at a good price really nice staff was able to sit outside in the sun. And you can fish if you want

Called here for breakfast to find a fisherman's dream setting. Five lakes to choose from carp to trout and course fishing too. Fantastic food and a very warm welcome . A must for a return in the near future.

So I'm waiting for my brother to finish up fishing, I go to chill in the cute cafe with the pretty scenery and I'm like, yeah sure I like soup. And now... I want it served at my funeral so everyone understands what heaven is really like! 10/10 would recommend. Soup of my day, week, month and year!! (Btw it was sweet potato and pepper)

Fantástico, desayuno completo, antes de días de pesca. Salchichas, bacon, champiñones, huevos, tomates, frijoles, té y tostadas, y la oferta de más tostadas, todos son de muy buena calidad y bien preparado. Una sopa y un plato de truchas preciosas en las ofertas especiales para el almuerzo, pero la pesca me impidió pruebas ellos también.Pasteles eran para morirse, me parecía fabuloso! !Excelente servicio del personal también, sin duda volveremos! !En cuanto a la pesca, lagos preciosos, bien ubicado en un hermoso entorno, logramos tomar unos, siempre es una ventaja.Muy recomendado 5 *

Mi marido y yo (que no pescado) decidimos entrar aquí en nuestro camino de vuelta de Criccieth Porthmadog hacia el miércoles por la tarde. Se accede a ella a través de la carretera principal a la izquierda, justo antes de la enfermería en casa. La estrecha pista te lleva a un aparcamiento y una cabaña de madera casi escondido entre los árboles y conjunto de 3 pequeños lagos de pesca. La señora sirve en la cafetería era muy acogedor. Sólo tuvimos 2 tazas de té que cuesta £2. 20 lo que nos bebimos afuera en el suelo en la parte trasera. La ubicación es muy tranquila y un buen lugar para ir a ver pájaros. Después de haber comprobado el menú, ambos decidimos que nos gustaría volver aquí para probar la comida.

Thank you Jane and Tom and staff for providing us with excellent breakfasts. I had 12 people staying with me and everyone enjoyed the food served. Definitely worth a visit whether you fish or not.

On holiday just up the road from here so i decided to go fishing for a few hours caught two rainbows on the fly lake both about 4 to 5lb. Congratulations on a well run and maintained fishery. The cafe is also ace,had 2 take away sandwiches very nice will return to eat and to fish.

Paramos en este café magnífico para un café y comida ligera. Con nuestros dos niños pequeños de 6 y 3. Nos recibió un café iluminado y ventilado de buen tamaño, estaba muy limpio y moderno por dentro con increíbles vistas de los alrededores de la pesca y el camping. Cómodos asientos en el interior y el exterior, pero a pesar de que el día fuera muy cálida fue una temperatura interior muy cómodo. Después de hacer nuestra elección de los menús y dar nuestro pedido y pagar en la caja, no tome mucho tiempo para nuestras bebidas para llegar seguida de cerca por la comida. La comida estaba bien presentada y caliente, y la ensalada estaba fresquito que es refrescante, ya que la mayoría de las veces su ensalada es preparó cálido y floja! Casero De col en el lado era el mejor que he probado nunca! El tamaño de las porciones de nuestra donde muy generoso y los precios muy asequibles. Un punto que me pareció excelente sobre el menú era el desayuno se sirve hasta las 3 de la tarde! Un cambio muy bienvenido a establecimientos más comer que cambio hacia el almuerzo a las 11 de la mañana. Me di cuenta de que si estás planeando un día pescando en uno de los lagos en el lugar bien abastecido y no tienes que pierda ya que ofrecen llevar demasiado. El personal era genial también cada uno te saludaban con una sonrisa y nada era demasiado problema para ellos, para mí demuestra cuán felices son en su trabajo. En general, diría que este lugar es de visita obligada! Y una joya escondida en un entorno precioso. 10/10

Good choice of menu..all freshly prepared and very tastey..you can eat inside the log cabin or outside overlooking fishing lakes..pleasant and helpful

Cafe pequeñas y escondidas, lejos de la carretera. En un fondo con vistas a las colinas y a la pesca. La comida era buena, nuestro hijo disfrutó especialmente su hamburguesa de cordero, el único comentario negativo de mi esposa fue que ella me hubiera gustado un poco más de ensalada de col con patata y su chaqueta. Los precios son razonables y el personal es amable, sin duda volveremos de nuevo

On holiday in the area and we were looking for a good breakfast with easy parking. Caffi Cedron is just outside Criccieth in lovely countryside and has its own free car park. Ideal! The breakfast full English was spot on hot and good quality ingredients excellently cooked and the new timber lodge dining room was spotlessly clean. Plenty of it and very reasonably priced. Tom and Jane are excellent hosts and so friendly and kind. Many thanks we'll be back!!

Fantastic day with family. Well worth the visit. Was able to introduce young grandchildren to the art of fishing who caught fish easily with much excitement. Cafe and facilities very good.

We visit every few months whilst we come home to see our family . The owners are so welcoming . Very kind and considerate . We usually have a snack and we cannot fault it . The setting is superb , fabulous lakes for the family to fish . We would highly recommend every body to try . My father in law works in the tackle shop , if anybody wants to know anything about fishing I would highly recommend you spend the day at the lake and enjoy the superb food , setting and hospitality .

Just visited this delightful cafe for the first time... Popped in on the way home after a long day walking with our dogs at hell's mouth.Was made to feel very welcome with our 2 dogs. Naturally they must stay away from the main fishing lake (our water loving Lab would have caused mischief given half a chance!!). However sat at a lovely spot overlooking a smaller lake and apparently dogs are allowed inside as well in a certain section..Only wanted a snack but had a very tasty sandwich which came with a healthy side salad with coleslaw unlike the tasteless iceberg lettuce that can so often accompany food.Will definitely be back again as have my eye on their cooked breakfast which gets so many rave reviews. So glad to have found a new eatery as we only live 30mins away. Lovely setting, tasty food, dog friendly and very welcoming staff... Perfect!!

Travelling along the main road looking for a watering hole, we noticed the sign 'Lakeside Cafe'. Located about 200 yards from the main road, this is a delightful setting overlooking a lake and woods with outside seating.We just had coffee, tea, Victoria sponge and sherry trifle, but all well made/cooked. Very friendly staff and clean toilets. Just what we needed for a quick visit, and we will be delighted to come back.Note that the cafe is not in Criccieth, but in Pentre Felin - actually closer to Porthmadog than Criccieth. It is part of the Eisteddfa fishery business.

For the past 2 years we've come here for breakfast on the day we leave Eisteddfa Campsite after our annual holiday. As there's so many of us (24) we've booked ahead the day before & the staff have been fantastic coping with everyone's choices. The food is fabulous whether it's a huge bowl of homemade porridge, toast or the full Welsh breakfast, not to mention bacon & sausage/egg baps, scrambled egg on toast, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, juice... Quality of the food is excellent & it's all piping hot & freshly made. Would highly recommend. We'll definitely be back next year!!

We have been staying at the campsite down the road and decided to take a walk to the fisheries and cafe.Our 2 sons have never fished before and were dying to try it. They were given equipment and beginners tips by the extremely patient gentleman who runs the shop and we spent several hours fishing and caught several fish. My children were ecstatic!!!The cafe itself is spotlessly clean, light and airy. The staff are some of the most friendly and welcoming I have met. We had the Welsh cream tea and was not disappointed. They have a variety of food and drinks to offer at very reasonable prices. I would absolutely recommend the fisheries and caffi cedron to abyone who wants a relaxing brew in a friendly atmosphere.

We made our second visit today, and had an excellent meal, at very reasonable cost. Service was friendly and personal: food was cooked to order. The whole place was scrupulously clean. It is wheelchair accessible, but the new carpark is close enough, and the groud level, that the wheelchair was not required.

Went at Easter weekend and on the spur of the moment. Last time I visited was just a hut by the lake! Very clean, friendly staff; even though weather was terrible, it was lovely to look over the carp lake to one side and the 'baby' lake to the other. We were there for lunch; food was excellent and service the same. Sandwiches/toasties with a choice if bread, home made soup all enjoyed. Will be be visiting again maybe even to fish!

Stayed close by with friends and went every morning for breakfast. Well priced well cooked and plenty of it. Endless cups of tea. Would highly recommend it

Excellent fishing with excellent food to match . Hard to find a place that can do both . Being a local I visit regularly and am never disappointed keep up the good work .

We've got a caravan on the site next door, been here fishing too. Its a lovely place, service is great, breakfast was really good, mushrooms, bacon, sausages, egg, toast, tomato all really well cooked. Great place for families to learn to fish too.

The cafe is amazing,lovely food,good portion sizes,services was amazing the young girl who served me was very polite and made sure i had everything.The only things I would recommend is for all the staff to wear the same uniform some were in the cafe uniform and some were wearing there own tops and also I would recommend to make the room they have shut off more in to a lounge area with sofas and arm chairs this would be ideal for people like me who go there for a coffee by them selfs while waiting for there kids/husbands who are fishing or waiting to meet somebody. Other wise this cafe was amazing I will defiantly be going back when I visit Wales again there is definitely something for everybody there.

We visited with our 2 young children and they were very helpful, they couldnt do enough to engage with them!The food was great value for money, huge portions....so much so that we went at 10am and didnt even need lunch that day! Stunning views from the decking of the lakes and grounds. We also went back toward the end of our holiday, not only for the fab food, but for how welcome and comfortable we were made to feel with our children, which is rare these days.

Overpriced food, limited menu and zero atmosphere.The only plus is the decent views from the terrace..but they are a bit precious about the decking and you can't smoke, even though it is outside!

We went to this fishery for the first time in July when I was on holiday with my family. While there we went to this cafe and had sausages, chips and beans - they were delicious and not very expensive either. I found the cafe to be very clean and owners and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My dad went fishing on the fly fishing lake one evening and had a mince beef pie, chips and peas plus a hot cup of tea delivered to his peg - needless to say he was chuffed to bits ! This place is a little hidden gem and we will definately be returning whenever we are next in the area .

We visited the fishery cafe twice during our stay on holiday. As it's a fishery it was open at an early 8am which suited my partner and myself. The first visit was to leave him there to fish for the day while I took to my feet to walk to criccieth beach. We have a lovely breakfast before he started his day and I mine. Lovely staff and nice fresh clean surroundings with view of the lakes. I believe my OH also bought lunch there which he enjoyed.Our second visit was after we packed the tent away to come home. Again served an excellent breakfast. Well worth a visit when we are in the area again.

Great place for Breakfast , lunch or dinner. Great service , great staff , excellent value. Set in beautiful surroundings and if you love fishing its a bonus. 5 lakes to choose from. One big fishery all under one roof . Big Carp Lake, Bait Trout lake , Fly only trout lake , Silver fish lake for the kids and a mixed coarse lake. Best Fishery in N Wales by far ......

Just returned from a week away over half term,on the campsite next to this great little cafe. We traipsed in, two bedraggled and tired adults after a rough night under canvas, with our 5 and 2 year old in tow, a little fed up of our pathetic attempts at breakfast of the past few days, in need of warmth and a good breakfast. Four breakfasts of differing size and two big lattes were ordered. The lady who served us could not have been more friendly and welcoming, the place was comfortable, warm (with telly on for the news, we were camping remember!) and in an indecently short space of time our lovely breakfasts arrived, devoured by myself and my partner and virtually inhaled by the kids. Free coffee refills too! Family friendly, extremely welcoming, great food and a picturesque location. We only very reluctantly returned to the delights of the Welsh early Summer weather. Definitely, definitely worth considering for breakfast if you are anywhere near this area, look for the signpost for the campsite, fishery and cafe just before you enter Criccieth from Porthmadog on the main road.

My nephew and I had the great privilege of visiting this place every morning for breakfast as we were staying in the the adjacent campsite. Every morning we were greeted with a friendly hello and served excellent breakfast each day. The place is maintained to the highest standards and is set in a superb location with either mountainscapes or Lakeland views Big thank you
