Caffi Cwrt in Gwynedd

Sadly, Mrs Roberts the owner died, such a sad loss and the loss of the most delightful tea room. This was a wonderful tea room and so old,-fashioned, we will greatly miss it, now for sale in July, we hope it will be treated kindly by it's new owners.

When we first walked in, it seemed really quirky and old which is lovely, however we soon noticed that there was an unpleasant odour. We came for afternoon tea however there wasn’t this option on the menu. We ordered cheese and onion sandwiches (they only had brown bread) and scones with cream and jam. The sandwiches were filled far too much and the bread just fell apart. The scones came out ready prepared with the jam and cream already on. They looked lovely however the scones were very dry, in fact, one of them was totally inedible, they did remove this one from the bill though. Overall, not a nice experience which is a shame as some of the reviews were very positive.

A lovely quirky place and easy parking. When we walked in it was old and smelly and cobwebs on the ceiling. The tea was lovely. We had cheese and onion sandwiches and Fruit Scones with jam and cream. The sandwiches were fully loaded with cheese and some large lumps of onion only had brown bread. The Scones were pre made up with jam and cream when it came to the table. One of the scones was very dry. This was reflected in our payment. Cash only. Honestly would not go back. Such a same.

Wow! We were on a brief visit to the town and happened to see this tea room. We didn’t know anything about but it looked lovely, an old looking Welsh house in the middle of the town. So many places serve food from caterers but this seemed genuinely home made. We had tea served in china with ginger cake and scone with jam and butter. Delicious. The place is really old and quirky but seems very genuine. The best tea room I have been in for a long time. Please don’t change before we visit again. But, cash only, which fits with the ambience.

The best quiche I’ve ever had! We stumbled across this quirky and traditional tea rooms. The staff were lovely and food was amazing. Everything is home made and delicious. Would definitely return. Thank you

What an amazing tea room! So pretty, full of character and unique , like stepping back in time , with bric a brac , memorabilia , antiques and much loved family heirlooms, I could have stayed there all day ! As it was a beautiful sunny day , we sat outside , plus we had 2 dogs with us and as not really hungry ordered their homemade soup and bread and tea , which was hot and tasty . I stepped inside and spoke to a lovely lady who turned out to to be the owner , she told me about the tearoom and its family history , and it was so Interesting There are homemade cakes , afternoon tea , sandwiches of all sorts available, a proper Welsh tea room, situated in a quiet spot off the main road . Would recommend a visit to any one, as its so pretty and quaint, offering lovely uncommercialised food and a lovely spot to sit and take a break from modern life !

Luckily stumbled across this place while visiting Criccieth, it's delightful. Had sandwiches, scones and tea served with style, as it used to be. Well worth seeking out if you're looking for somewhere to have afternoon tea.

Had cream scones and tea and coffee. Kids had an apple juice and milkshake. Place was quaint not what we were expecting inside. Service was quick and friendly.

Like going back in time! Whilst the hot chocolates we had were fantastic, the wonderful and quirky vintage decor sets this tea room apart from the rest!

We are staying in Criccieth for a week, and found this beautiful little place yesterday, Had lunch hot drinks and cakes, it was just identical, the service was second to none, today was a little over cast so after a long walk, we went back for lunch, We both had the tomato and basil soup, it was the best iv ever had, Thank you for our wonderful experience, this place is definitely worth a visit, Words doesn’t do it justice

Found this by accident. What a lovely family run little gem of a tea room! We sat in the garden and had fresh homemade scones with jam and cream, a tea and cappuccino. Absolutely delicious and so reasonably priced. Quick service and it was like stepping back in time. It is cash only, so be prepared.

Lovely quaint tearoom with loads of character. Very friendly and efficient service. The homemade soup was delicious and, unlike most other cafes, we were provided with a generous jug of milk and portion of butter and milk. Just perfect

Nice place, run by a family out of a kitchen in the back. Old Tommy vibes, very good service. Some mad decour, looks like you've stepped back in time. Good tea and cakes.

Visited today (18.05.23) warm welcome from the staff members and pleasant surroundings. Great choice of cakes, sandwiches and drinks. Overall a nice little cafe and a good find. You can eat in or outside (limited tables outside though) Only downside they don’t take card (yes that’s right even in this day and age) Timtoms top tip: Get some cash from the hole in the wall just around the corner.

Beautiful and quaint, authentic Welsh tea rooms filled with art history & pottery - a must see! Also delicious coffee and cakes!

We have just returned from a holiday in cricceath and came across this lovely cafe on our first day. Out of all the cafe,s, pubs and restaurants we visited, this was by far our favourite. Run by the same family since 1933 and you could easily spend all day just looking at all the amazing nik naks inside. The family what run it are so freindy, the husband even gave us a lift back to where we were staying twice as it was quite a walk. Anyone visiting Cricceath, I would definitely recommend you pay a visit.

Discovered this quintessential Welsh cafe by accident; tucked away in the centre of Criccieth. But what a lovely place. A small outdoor courtyard garden and small indoor cafe. A selection of teas, coffees, lovely homemade cakes, scones and sandwiches. All at very reasonable prices and great service. Highly recommended.

Don't know what the last review was on about been there 3 times this week found it lovely and friendly.my girls loved the sparrows outside

waited 25 minutes and still didn’t have our order taken. My grandad only asked when we could order and one of the women shouted in his face and was extremely rude to him. He was nothing but kind, vile woman, bad hospitality and no help. Wouldn’t advise going here for a nice afternoon, ended up leaving as still didn’t have our order taken and being ignored. Worst place I’ve ever been, and I work in hospitality myself.

We popped in as the usual cafes we go too were full. It’s a total gem of a cafe, family run. So friendly, lovely milky coffee, and super tasty hot chocolate for the kids. The lady even gave all my three kids a chocolate bar...

Friendly little cafe hidden away from every day life, we sat in the garden and were surrounded with cheeky little sparrows x

What a wonderful cafe with a great deal of history .we was introduced to three generations of one family .the food we had was great and tasty .the cafe although old was immaculate .thankyou from the Preston ladies

We went to cafe Cwrt on Saturday with our teenage children. The sandwiches were a bit disappointing - if you have a tuna sandwich for example it is just that, basic bread and no garnish. Cappuccino was from a packet. Nice tea garden to sit...

A warm welcome -as usual - tasty sandwiches which were well presented- service good - enjoyed the 300 year old building with its quirky possessions on display. We will be back .

I have visited this very "traditional" and "old fashioned" cafe a number of times in the last 25 years & thought I would revisit those happy times again. However, coming back here in 2021 I'm afraid I found that it's apparent charm & olde-worldliness was...

What a fantastic place!! Full of character and lovely staff!! The food is good value, and most of it is homemade. Inside it is full of history and it made me feel very cozy! Love it!!

We visited this lovely little tea room yesterday after a busy day. We were immediately attracted to the beautiful, old cottage by the array of hydrangeas and wild flowers that framed a bird (and wasp) filled courtyard. We took a seat and was promptly attended...

Visited here whilst on holiday with my family, we sat in the garden and were surrounded by lots of small birds, it was very relaxing and the birds were not an issue unlike the odd wasp that were interested in our cakes. It was so...

We sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the twittering birds, pretty flowers, sunshine and lovely service. It's so hard to find anywhere that's different nowadays but this genuinely is...tea cosies, crochet doilies, delicately cut sandwiches, simple but really tasty food, amazing cakes, china cups...not sure if it's intentionally or unintentionally retro but it's great either way.

What a beautiful traditional Welsh little place . Dog friendly. Delicious food , the best food I've eaten all holiday. Good selection. Fantastic quaint little room inside full with cute curios and pots hanging from the ceiling. Warm friendly staff . Definitely recommend

Bwyd blasus iawn, staff cyfeillgar, lot o ddewis wahanol ar y fwydlen. Staff yn siarad Cymraeg. Adar y tô yn yr ardd yn cyfeillgar iawn sydd yn hyfryd. Canol y dre. Roedden nhw'n digon Hapus i ni fynd a'r beics gyda ni i'r ardd, ond mae na ffens allan ar y sgwar o flaen y caffi os does dim le.

This cafe has curb appeal. Lovely looking and inviting but unfortunately the staff weren't as inviting. We left after 15 minutes of waiting as we felt ignored by the staff afer trying to get their attention who served others who came in after us.Wouldn't recommend service

Niceish garden area and dog friendly. Service by the young waitresses was really excellent. Food and drink on offer was quite limited, unimaginative, and old fashioned (eg no latte, just a handful of dull sandwiches), although there were a number of cakes available. While we were there several groups sat down, looked at the dog eared menus and left. Scones home made but definitely not fresh and came already smothered in jam..and very lightly whipped (squirty?) cream! Prices were reasonable. Disappointed with the experience although the tea cosies were cool.

Lovely outside garden area! Absolutely smashing carrot cake and winning tomato soup! Dog friendly! What’s not to love !

Scrumptious Welsh cake with lashings of butter and delicious Welsh tea! 300 year old cottage, complete with old iron range. We took tea in the parlour and spoke with the lovely lady owner about some of the artwork,all.of which has a personal meaning. Loved it!

We were warmly welcomed on arrival and sat in the pretty tea garden. We had home made Bara Brith with Welsh butter and steaming hot coffee. We discovered the recipe goes back generations, it was delicious! The owners were really pleasant and friendly which made our visit most enjoyable. All this and very reasonable prices too. (cash only though) This is a must when visiting Criccieth!

Lunchtime visit on a sunny day. Sat out in the very pretty garden out back but were sadly disappointed by the tea, coffee and Welsh cake. However the carrot cake was delicious. Service was good when you could get hold of a waitress! I think she was running from serving indoors and had to serve customers in the garden too which was a shame.

Pleasant outdoor space to watch people passing in the square. Friendly, efficient young waitress. Beautiful home-made scones. Tasty Welsh butter. Good strong pot of tea. Thank you.

Excellent homemade cakes lovely and quaint, unspoilt just how it should be. And a proper cup and saucer, service lovely to.

Tea/coffee and cake at a local tearoom after a short visit to Criccieth. A quaint tearoom with a good choice on the menu. Very polite and helpful staff. Served piping hot tea and coffee, lemon drizzle cake, Welsh apple cake with custard, caramel shortbread and carrot cake. Very good value for money, I would definitely return if in the area. This tearoom is open even though states closed on TripAdvisor.

Called in for a drink and a snack as we always do when visiting Criccieth..very friendly and quaint tearoom.

We wanted some nice food and the exterior of this cafe attracted us. The interior is charming, with lots of eclectic ornaments and trinkets. We were amazed to see a gollywog on display though!The food is great and tasty, the ladies that served us food were a bit curt though.Nice place to eat.

A lovely place for tea and cakes with great collection of keys and jugs. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Doesn't even have WiFi to distract you!

When we go to Criccieth, we always stop and have something to eat at Caffi Cwrt. The jug of milky coffee is always delicious, served piping hot in proper china willow pattern cups and saucers. The Café serves light lunches, sandwiches and a very good selection of homemade cakes. My personal favourite cake is the lemon slice. Hubby always finishes off with crumpets which ooze 'proper' butter. The interior is fascinating, with many items of Welsh history on display in the two inner rooms. There is also outside seating in front of the café and a tea garden at the back, which is open when the weather is good. The staff are all very obliging and we always get a sincere welcome when we return. The only unfortunate thing is that the café closes over the winter months, but no problem, as we will be looking forward to our next visit in Spring next year.

This is our first visit to Criccieth and were attracted, at first, by the exterior of this unique cottage named Caffi Cwrt Tearoom. And when we stepped into the tearoom, we were so mesmerized by all the unique decorations on the walls and the ceiling! It is certainly a rare find! We had quiche and tomato and basil soup of the day, they were reasonably priced and delicious. The staff were very polite.I would strongly encourage anyone who come to Criccieth to pay a visit to this lovely Welsh tearoom and you won't be disappointed!❤

Popped in yesterday as we saw the place and couldn’t leave criccieth without going in. Great little tearoom (I felt like I was walking into my grandmothers house), great cakes and scones, lovely brew too. Staff also very friendly and chatty!

Great tea room in the heart of Criccieth. The tea is just be best, and the quality never varies. The cakes and Welsh Cakes are devine. The service was prompt and the waitresses attentive. Keep up the good work Mrs Roberts!

Every time we go to Criccieth we always go to Caffi Cwrt ,always get quick , polite service ,and always lovely food ,and coffee . Top marks to Irene & Sioned Roberts who run this delightful teashop. Our latest visit was last week - very enjoyable ! Hugh & Barbara. SW London

Very characterful and charming old house, great friendly service and good traditional “tea”. A nice garden too, but don’t miss the beautiful eclectic interior!

If you want a truly Welsh experience, in a traditional Welsh house this is the place to go, it's fabulous! The food is great, the Welsh/English speaking staff are lovely, friendly and very efficient. It does get very busy, you may have to wait...but it's worth it.

Visited last week. We had tea and sandwiches. The cakes also looked amazing but we were going for ice-cream so resisted those. The sandwiches were made with very fresh bread with delicious fillings. Loved the atmosphere in there, the old fashioned quaint décor and dinner service, the little plates and cups and saucers - a lovely touch. Very homely and welcoming too with great service. Very good prices - would highly recommend a visit.

Myself and my family have been coming to Caffi Cwrt for over 20 years and always pop in if we are over in Criccieth. The staff, food and the quaint little tea room will not disappoint and is unique in every single way. All of the baking is done by the family who own it and is absolutely delicious. I would certainly recommend a visit if you are in the area for a superb afternoon tea!

Excellent little tea room I would highly recommend people visit here. Service was excellent not to mention the delicious cakes. We will definitely be going here again before the end of our holiday. We sat in the lovely tea garden at the rear of the caffi

The presentation of the food was excellent and quick and also delicious!especially the quiche and the Welsh apple cake. The staff were lovely and very helpful.

A lovely old-fashioned tearoom and just as a tearoom should be. We have been visiting Criccieth for nearly 20 years and Caffi Cwrt is just a wonderful memory of life as it used to be, it has bypassed the 21st century and such a good thing, indeed, Criccieth has bypassed the 21st century which makes it such a wonderful place. The owner and family have put their heart and soul into Caffi Cwrt and I have such memories of my childhood and youth when the welshcakes arrive.

Perfect venue to relax and refuel after climbing up to the castle and promenading along the coastline. Wonderful food - hot buttered crumpets and steaming hot tea the favourite of our family. Lovely peaceful setting and home to some special memories of time well spent with my family. Thankyou.

I came here recently with my family and we had a lovely meal of tea, scones and crumpets. Great value for money and it was so good we even had a second round. The building is very cosy with a lot of old fashioned crockery and decoration. Lovely place to eat after visiting the castle!

Caffi Cwrt describes itself as 'traditional'.

Me and my family have adored this cafe for the 10 years we’ve been coming to criccieth on holiday. The service, the food and the atmosphere can’t be faulted. Everyone who works here is so friendly and the unique decor is truly charming. A real Welsh gem and we would miss it terrible were it not here! X

This was a beautiful garden/seating area that was let down by the staff and honestly the food. They were quick to serve us initially but then the staff just gave up. They were sat visibly at a table playing on their phones whilst we waited to order our scones after our sandwhiches- which by the way were pathetic for a cafe. I eat out for something extra than what I could get at home but I make better sandwiches myself- it didn’t seem worth the money. Honestly, walk past and visit the cafe up the road. Don’t waste your money or time to be served tea in a filthy cosy and milk covered with a rag.

stopped by here for a coffee and cake. lovely staff with great service. sat outside and the young lady serving was very quick to take our order. would visit again.

Came across this place today, from the outset it’s what we have all come to expect from a cosy little tearoom. Cute inviting exterior, small seated courtyard, that’s where it ends. We sat outside, waited around 15 mins to be served,still no one arrived to take order. Went indoors to place the order only to be told they take the order at your table. Sat again for another 10 mins. Young girl arrived to take our order, the girls here are lovely and polite. Order arrived, a tea and a coffee, along with a small jug of milk covered with an old looking material (rag) grim. It got worse. The sandwiches and date&walnut; scone came. Firstly there was a hair in one sandwich, on inspecting my own cheese sandwich we found yet another grey hair. Not wanting to eat them we checked out the scone, and yes there was number 3. At this we decided to leave. Popped indoors to let them know about the problem and the first woman was lovely, we did pay for the drinks as we’d had half a cup each. As we were waiting for our change a woman came out of a side door to ask what the problem was. I again explained about the hairs. Reply, we’ll thats highly unusual. Her manner was rude and unapologetic.

Sat in the sunshine outside the front and had a very pleasant coffee watching the world go by Our menfolk spent ages inside looking at the glorious artefacts that adorn every single space inside the cafe. It is an Aladdin’s cave

This very traditional tearoom, with every surface covered in old pictures and nicknacks, small but comfortable with really friendly personal service, offering a good selection of cakes and savories. we pumped for cream scones and tea, all very good. One of those places very different from the chains popping up everywhere and well worth a visit.

Popped in while staying in Criccieth for some refreshments. It is a little cramped inside and claustrophobic, however, lovely cup of tea. Would recommend if you like traditional surroundings.

Fantastic family run tearoom with lots of scrumptious homemade sweets (cakes) and savouries on offer as well as the usual teas and coffees. Really friendly and personal service of an exception high standard and very quick. The setting is outstanding and the once family home is crammed full of historic family artifacts that a typical long standing family would have acquired and used throughout their lives.

An old fashioned independent tea room. Quaint but serves good tea and coffee plus large slices of excellent cake. Well worth searching out.

Old fashioned tea room - does drinks, home made cakes (good selection), sandwiches, and quiche. Decorated with collections of jugs and keys! Small tables, proper cups and saucers, good tea, lovely cake, friendly service, reasonable prices.

I recommend the milky coffee. Small cup and coffee served in pot. It filled the cup three times. Tasted fab. Great value. Wife had cappuccino. Very nice. Quaint and quirky

Popped in for lunch one day and we were warmly greeted and told we could sit inside with our dogs (we were about to take an outside table!).

Been coming here for 27 years and it is still the same, great tea, lovely cakes and sandwiches. May it always stay like this.

I visited last week - my first ever visit after hearing about it from my best friend for years. Enjoyed the most amazing crumpets with lashings of Welsh butter.

Short visit to Criccieth, we wanted to go for a cup of tea and a scone. Lovely quaint tea room with a couple of outdoor tables, sat inside, a lovely welcome and service, decor was traditional, a slight musty smell but all part of the charm. Drinks served in a china cup and saucer, all in all a great find, we’ll be back.

He is not wrong - just try the cinnamon toast. A small, old fashioned cafe with good wholesome food. You have to make it part of your holiday !

This tearoom is lovely. Very old fashioned, which is just what we were looking for. Lovely pot of tea. I also had a date & walnut scone which was delicious. My husband had a cheese & onion sandwich which he said was great. My 2 teenage children had milkshakes, lemon drizzle cake & chocolate caramel slice which they also really enjoyed. Staff were friendly & service was quick. Would definitely recommend a visit.

After a morning spent on the beach we came into the town for a drink and snack.

Dropped by for tea and cakes which were ok but nothing brilliant. Friendly and helpful young waitress served us. You can sit outside at front or back or go inside.

Found this by chance while out walking round Criccieth one evening. Went back next day and had a lovely sandwich and pot of tea. Lovely china cups and saucers. Sat amongst the flowers in the sunshine.

Tried to get a late lunch here, but when I walked in 3 members of staff standing in the kitchen doing nothing just looked at me. No one greeted me or offered me a menu. We walked back out again.
