Caffi Gwynant in Gwynedd

What a gem of a place,superb food and exceptional hospitality can't recommend enough.

Super nice place for breakfast! We had the full welsh and the pancakes, absolutely delicious! Also the service was amazing! When we're back in Wales, we'll definitely come back!

Quick and welcoming service, great spot to enjoy some excellent food!

We got a friendly welcome as we arrived. Had peppered steak bake, coffee and a cake. Good value and great service, would recommend.

I called here on a Sunday morning in October.It is in what looks like an old chapel.Not really the ideal place to have a cafe as ceiling is high,so creating any warmth in there is going to be a struggle.It was cold inside.Steep steps up to the cafe.I had a Latte and a scone which was very good.

Such a friendly bunch. Popped in to have a cuppa. The owners kid was so friendly. The menu looks fab, we didnt get a chance to eat but would definitely go back

We had such a fab visit here last Friday. We had lunch which was absolutely delicious...and lovely coffee too. Highly recommend this family run cafe. (really friendly family who make you feel 100% welcome). Beautiful setting, beautiful building, beautiful food. Thank you

Beautiful eatery and bar nestled by Afon Glaslyn, perfect food prepared by the most friendly and helpful team, cooked my surf and turf to perfection highly recommended if in the area don't miss the opportunity to eat there 6⭐

lovely venue, great staff.. friendly and attentive! Food was amazing. full Welsh breakfast 10/10 and sausage sandwich on sourdough - loads of sausage and so tasty. also 2 cappucinos - gorgeous.. thank you, we'll be back :) highly recommend.

nourrissant et agréable après une bonne balade. au pied des collines du Snowdonia et près d'un départ de randonnée, l'endroit est très accueillant, une lieu de nourriture spirituelle (une ancienne chapelle) reconverti en temple de la nourriture temporelle propose des plats copieux et des bières délicieuses (la bière locale Purple Moose est à déguster). La décoration est sobre mais parfaitement adaptée au lieu, la nourriture est délicieuse (le "beef pie" dans des feuilles de brick vaut le détour), la cheffe sait y faire et le service est assuré par un gaillard très sympathique.

Had an amazing lunch here after a walk to the Watkin’s Pools. My partner and I shared the sticky beef pie + beef wellington hot dog. The food was unreal and cooked to order. And despite a suggested wait for the food it came out in amazing time! Matt, the owner, was wonderfully friendly, telling us stories of his time up the mountains and in the military. We had our Whippet with us and Matt treated him as if he was his own- even serving him up a fresh sausage. He also gave us some great recommendations for things to do in North Wales for the rest of our trip! If we were to do Snowdonia again, we’d come back here in a heartbeat, and bring friends the next time too. Thanks so much for a delicious lunch - only gutted that we missed the breakfast menu as that looked just as good !!!

Popped in here for a cuppa and snack and wow, what an amazing place. A renovated old chapel complete with Bible still on the Pulpit. Great, cozy atmosphere and the staff are super friendly and gave us advice on some beautiful waterfall walks in the area. Food was great and coffee was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

The best Cafe around, absolutely amazing food, really good quality ingredients, (no prepacked rubbish) homemade burgers are to die for 😍, decent portions at a fair price, super friendly and attentive staff. A must place to visit.

Lovely cafe! The staff were so nice and friendly and a young man was so nice and funny! The food was excellent with amazing tea and coffee with lovely cold water served with it too. We wanted to come again the next day but unfortunately it was closed!

Fabulous place Very welcoming Food is amazing ( Best BellyPork to be had) It’s on the menu as a side but could be a main. Bite size!!!! they were wedges of pork. I should have gotten a picture but too delicious I got stuck in. The girls had a chocolate caramel brownie with ice cream. Delicious. Again the serving is more than enough! The youngest didn’t finish it.

Lovely place, and the staff we're so wonderful and kind.

Idk about the food because they were closed but the WiFi got us out of a tight spot with parking - legends.

Visited for brunch. Food was great. Service should have been great (fast, friendly, polite) but spoiled by over familiar staff, swearing at each other, smoking in the outside eating area and sitting down next to us to fuss the dogs.

Real shame, lunch menu wasn’t the best & definitely not what we expected for a cafe. I’m all up for cafes trying to be different but most things were £19, had a few awkward situations which I could have gotten over had it not been for the teenager serving thought he as possibly being ‘cool’ swearing the time when we had our 8 year old daughter with us. I was going to pass it off as him trying really hard to be friendly and cool until when they thought we had left, he did nothing but slag us off to other staff members when I honestly thought we were very polite considering the awkwardness he was creating. Totally strange experience and I won’t be back. Shame as we spend a lot of time in the area all year round.

The beef Wellington toastie is phenomenal!!

What a brilliant cafe. The building is worth a visit in its own right, the interior is fascinating, with the original altar still in place. Decor and fittings inside complement the building perfectly. There’s plenty of outdoor seating too including fabulous pods. I loved the gear store for rucksacks. I just had a coffee, as it was only an hour since breakfast but there was a great range of food on offer and the plates coming out looked fantastic. Best of all though, the staff were so friendly and it was great chatting with the owner who was clearly born to work in hospitality. I had a great time.

My husband and I visited this afternoon after walking Watkins Path. The young lads were great. Very attentive and friendly. A real credit to you. The owners were great and the food was lovely. 10 out of 10

Great food, mint service from the young lads!

Quality cafe. Delicious food and Tristan was amazing

My husband and I visited this afternoon after walking Watkins Path and it was a very pleasant experience. The people were friendly and accommodating The young lads working are a credit to the owners and that was what stuck out to me because it is rare to see young gentlemen these days. The food was also really good. It was a lovely place to rest for a bit after a huge climb up a waterfall.

The food here was absolutely delicious. The service was great. We really enjoyed it. Sadly it was incredibly difficult to park as it’s a hot spot for people climbing Snowdonia and there is no car park for the cafe. This must be such a nuisance for the cafe as it may well put people off

This is a gem of a place. Great food and service. A must if you are in the area. Very original food. I would highly recommend.

All staff are very friendly and welcoming! Big shout out to Tristan, lovely lad! Couldn’t have been helpful! Delicious locally sourced breakfast Would highly recommend

Great food and very friendly service. Very fast service and overall great experience and would recommend.

Lovely place to stop for a coffee mid hike

Just had a vegan breakfast there after a dip in the waterfall pools up Watkins Path. Awesome. Lovely boys serving especially Tristan 👍

Delicious food. We walked to the waterfall and had dinner here afterwards because of the good reviews. And they are absolutely correct! Beef Wellington toastie was delicious!!

Came here after a short hike and a dip in Watkins Path. The atmosphere and staff were great, friendly and lively people. The food was mediocre, the pizza dough wasn’t great but still tasted nice. The pork was a good portion but a little salty due to the soy sauce. Regardless, we would be happy to come back.

A great little, friendly cafe, perfectly placed for for a break at the start and end of walks along the Watkins path. Great food, great service, thanks 😊.

A lovely Caffi that I wish had been open every day of our stay! We were in the area from Monday- Wednesday and agte seeing all the fab reviews we made sure we stopped for breakfast before setting off our journey home. The full Welsh breakfast was delicious 😋 my children had the kinder chocolate pancakes which looked and tastes amazing. The staff were wonderful, especially the two young boys who were doing a fabulous job. We will be back next time we are in the area.

This is our second year staying in this beautiful part of Wales and visiting Caffi Gwynant. The coffee and food are very good, The family is very friendly and welcoming. We had the vegan breakfast again and the cakes are also excellent. The building was once a chapel with a high ceiling and good light from arched windows. There is outside seating including pods for the odd occasion when it rains!

It was a misty day and decided to visit the caffi. Massive shout out to Tomos who was like a little tornado taking orders - serving food etc - My wife wanted to offer him a job at her cafe. Ha! Great breakfast and great sweetcorn halloumi fritters on sourdough. Definitely recommend you eat here. The coffee is that good it makes you shudder mmmm 😋 thank you Caffi Gwynant and not forgetting Tomos 😋

Really friendly, family ran business, that do a great poached egg on sour dough toast. Had this with a tea pot that served me 3 cups of tea. All well priced.

Would recommend the breakfast here, great atmosphere, friendly staff, cool decor and great food

Lovely café in an old Methodist church. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend.

Good sized portions of excellent food. They have good beers in 440ml cans from small local breweries (e.g. Purple Moose). So if you want a decent IPA with your food, you're in luck.

Best sausages iv ever had and amazing service

Popped in yesterday to buy a couple of Smoothies and a cappuccino before we commenced the walk up the Watkins. The smoothies, were like water and my son didn't even finish his milkshake, when asked why they dont look like shakes advertised outside on the image board, we were told they ran out of cream! Seriously! why not tell us that whilst ordering! I mean that was a real joke, the Cappuccino was mediocre to say the least, despite a sign reading dont buy cheap coffee you only live once lol. It was a real disappointment. Three members of staff, all looked miserable, not a single smile or greeting. Sometimes you really do wonder.

Beautiful cafe, interior gorgeous and outside very cosy with lots of cover for the Welsh weather. Staff were wonderful and so accommodating even when incredibly busy, and the Welsh Rarebit pizza was unbelievable! Definitely recommend

Came here as we were near the Bryn Dinas camping pods - easy to walk to we came for dinner on the Friday - and friendly owners - chatted to us for a while - I had the pizza - was nice and friend had the Raman. Overall nice enough. It is open later on Friday and sat other times till 4pm

The Caffi is open late on a Friday and Saturday, so we popped in for dinner. The owner is a really friendly guy, made us feel very welcome. My friend has a pizza which was really nice and I had a vegan option from the menu.. again really nice. Would definitely recommend.

The owner was very friendly and truly spoilt our little pup. The food was great and just what was needed after our hike up and down the Watkin path.

Beef Wellington Toastie!!!!!!!! Plus Welsh Cider.

Not gonna lie, we first stopped in here for the Wi-Fi and to dry off!!! So pleased we did….it’s a gem of a place. Friendly team, great coffee and cake, and the best veggie breakfast for miles! Definitely recommend.

Stopped in for a coffee and was tempted by the Breakfast Menu's Sweetcorn Fritter Eggs Benedict (see attached photos) so decided on an early lunch! Staff were friendly and chatty and the service smooth and the food delicious.

I don't often take the time to write reviews, but this place is such a standout that I couldn't resist sharing my positive thoughts. After a trek up and down the mountain, we had about 30 minutes left on our parking ticket and decided to stop for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. Despite having our dog with us, we were welcomed and seated almost immediately by a very hospitable host, who turned out to be the business owner. The coffee and snacks were excellent, but what truly sets this place apart is the owner's joy and dedication to customer happiness. His warm and genuine hospitality made our visit memorable. It’s rare to find such a combination of great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't praise this café enough. We will definitely be returning in the years to come. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by—you won't be disappointed!

Came in with the Mrs for a breakfast. It was a really nice full breakfast! The service was great, all in a timely manner. Nice brew too. £28 ish for two brekkies with two teas. Big sausages and thick bacon. Bargain

Nice cafe in a church building.

Great boss full of character. Very friendly and couldn't do enough. Dogs very welcome. Even given treats. Beef wellington toastie with dripping gravy and rosti bites is best every toastie I've had. Fabulous. Wife loved her Welsh rarebit pizza. Can't fault anything

Great boss full.of character. Lovely old Welsh chapel converted. Beef wellington toastie, beef dripping gravy and rustic bites is best toastie I haever had. Wife enjoyed her Welsh rarebit pizza but too much for her so bought some home. If you are in the area you must give it a try

This place is epic! Family run, with the most insanely epic customer service ive come across in along time! The dude who owns it, is so welcoming, hes a character - and one of those types you might of met for the first time, but feels like youd have known him years! We had hearty breakfast and brews- which were spot on, just before climing watkins path.. and on the way down we stopped again for locally sourced beers and cake. Hes knowledge and recommendations on the local beer was mega, and the cake was melt in your mouth moments of pure bliss! So good so, that we went back the next day.. and will deffo go back again!

Made what turned out to be a brilliant decision to pop in here for lunch before setting off for home after a few days in the area. Set in a former chapel with beautiful high ceilings, and pulpit still in place, the service was wonderful as was the food. Southern fried chicken burger with side of Mac 'n' Cheese and tasty rosti bites. Nom! Will certainly be stopping in again when in the area.

Food is amazing and lovely friendly staff! 10/10

Great food and great people, would 100% recommend for a coffee or full morning feast! lots of knowledge and tips for your Snowdonia adventures!

Excellent food, flawless service

Loved going to the cafe for many years. Today, we felt so uncomfortable after staff shouting at each other and swearing. Not going back until business changes hands again. Good choices and quality no where near as good as in the past.

Amazing service. (Tristan was a legend) We loved every second. A absolute gem of a cafe at the end of a beautiful drive

We stopped for breakfast and enjoyed the atmosphere of a family owned restaurant with amazing food and incredible service. Evening was good but the lemon and puppy seeds cake at the end was out of this world. 10/10

Amazing food! Amazing people! Amazing location! Some of the best made from scratch food I've had. Hearty and delicious. The owners and family are so friendly and helpful people. The old church is beautiful, nestled in one of the world's great beautiful landscapes.

Used to be the best but since they changed hands last year the service levels have dropped and the food quality has suffered.

Superb breakfast and staff were friendly and sorted us out. Will be going back!

Fantastic place. Was walking past on my way to summit Snowdon and decided to pop in for some refreshments. So glad I did. Such a welcoming and helpful place. Thank you.

Lovely food in a great location 👍

Lovely cafe with nice staff, hot chocolate and caramel shortbread was delicious. There is also WiFi in the cafe

Lovely place for a coffee/tea breakfast/lunch, Mathew and the gang are so lovely, food is top notch, you can't fault it..the breakfast bagel is a must to try....the Welsh breakfast with all the trimmings is awesome! Couldn't be more accomidating for us with our two dogs too, the cute little seating pods outside are fabulous! The caffi is based 50m from the start of the watkin path...We will be back again one day...cheers kind regards Billie &Sean 😁👍

Quality food, quaint venue, friendly staff (family run) Perfect stop when doing the Watkin Path

Perfect little spot to grab tasty food and drinks. Perfectly located by the Watkin path and waterfalls. Amazing service, especially Tristan, such a character whilst very professional.

What can I say I had a very rainy day on snowdon, came down then across this lovely establishment. Matt is a cracking bloke, they isn't enough words to describe how caring and respectful this man was. (It was closed he still sold me bottle of pop and we cherped for plenty time) cracking couple that run this place. I cannot say enough about mat and how prideful he is of his cafe/bar. Clean as whistle the place was a true gentleman and a veteran to top it off but that shows on how he takes pride and cleanliness at his place. I'll see you next time brother don't bother with anywhere else you won't get this down to earth people anywhere else. True man true gentleman.

Lovely little cafe. The staff were super friendly, the cake delicious and breakfast lovely!

Great Coffee, lovely cake and amazing staff. Accommodated 9 motorcyclists with parking out front. Plenty of parking for cars and campers also unlike Pen y pass. Seated outside the staff brought us a selection of cakes pasties and coffee. Lovely.

What a beauty of a find this place is. Arrived outside to be greeted and welcomed by staff. 9 of us all bikers were accommodated. Coffee and cake were 10/10. Will be returning.

Creative, innovative menu, varied options (also accommodating vegetarian and vegan options), excellent quality, truly tasty food, cooked to order – all of it in hearty sized portions for hungry hikers, served by friendly staff. This really is an exceptional place to eat!

The best place for breakfast before climbing Snowdon! Tristan boy was so helpful and welcoming! Breakfast was outstanding! Sausage rolls the best I ever had in my life and they are homemade! Take few for way up! Love this place!

Beautiful building, lovely breakfast and fantastically friendly people. Set us up for a days walking with a brilliant breakfast. Really great atmosphere too. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot to refuel after walking Watkin path. Friendly service, interesting menu and the food was really good.

Lovely staff really engaging and we had a laugh.

Really good coffee bar/ cafe close to the start of the Watkin path up to Snowdon. Great as a start or finish to your days walking

We stopped for a drink and cake on the way up the Watkins paths then came back for lunch when we came back down. Lovely place, run by lovely people and serving lovely food!

Visited after meeting the owner down at the pub in Beddgelert. Super friendly guy. Told tall tails of the amazing burgers they make at his cafe up the road… Well we couldn’t just take his word for it! walked the dog a few miles up round Nant Gwynant to go take a look and the guy ain’t kidding! Seriously good burger. A little pricey but the portions are massive and everything is home made. Just what you need after a long walk in the sideways rain. The owner and his family are incredibly welcoming. Couldn’t do enough for us and enjoyed the friendly chat while I polished off that massive burger and a couple of tasty local beers. My partner really enjoyed the local gin and he was even nice enough to show us the bottle and share how we can pick some up ourselves (yr Wyddfa, Purple Moose) Look forward to returning in summer on my bike! 10/10

We wanted to try somewhere new - and we weren’t disappointed. This is a cafe that’s perfect for pre walk fuel or post adventure reward! The chapel has retained lots of original features (including the pulpit!). The family team greeted us warmly and made us feel very welcome. The food was exceptional (we had burgers and the kids had chicken) and very well priced. Make sure you ask for the homemade ketchup!! We offered a prayer of thanks as we left the sanctuary to tackle the Watkin path that begins close by. Dog owners: though dogs aren’t allowed inside the chapel, there are seating pods available to use in the covered veranda.

C’mon now, the food here is fecking tippity tip top. The building has history, the owners are characters that are warm and embracing, their menu has treats across the board. Definitely a place to return to. If you haven’t been, do, you won’t be disappointed.

We came down off Snowdon and stopped in for a drink and something to eat - super welcoming place with a great selection of drinks and amazing cakes and sandwiches

Travelled here for lunch after reading the reviews and it did not disappoint!! The burger was by far the best burger I've eaten in years. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was epic. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely historic building, very welcoming staff and the world's best burger! Highly recommend a visit.

Sick, boss tubular immense views, wicked landscapes just sound.

Great food, just be wary of the "substitutions" on the breakfast menu, they don't substitute, they take off what you don't want, and charge you for the replacement. They also don't tell you you'll be charged when ordering, until you pay up at the end.

Really great little cafe, young man service us was really helpful, polite and engaging. Coffee was great as was the warm scone, jam and clotted cream. Has a log burner going which was welcome and a great spot after coming down from Watkin Path

Went for lunch when the Christmas menu was on and it was lovely! Very tasty food.

THE most AMAZING breakfast I've ever had. The inside of the Caffè is beautiful and the young lad who served us was very polite and made us laugh, credit to the place he really is. Awesome!!!

I went here to get some Wi-Fi to do some uni assignments during my 3 night stay at a National Trust cottage with some fantastic tea and breakfast. I have to say, everything about this cafe is stunning 🙏 the service, food, and general setting of the place was great, really hope to stop here again on my travels :) cool rustic, quaint feel to the place

First time coming here in a while i.e since change in ownership, and it did not disappoint. Food was fantastic, portions were fab and the service (particularly from the young man whose name I forget - ironic as it was very memorable) was wonderful! We've been here many a time before and the food and service has remained fantastic since change in ownership. On a miserable, rainy day in Nant Gwynant the food and service was a wonderful tonic.i had the venison burger with charred peaches, the peaches were not what I expected and we're PERFECT accompaniment! Diolch Mawr!

Never fails to impress - staff lovely and food amazing for the money

Lovely little family run business, perfect if you wish to fuel up before a hike or need to refuel after! Brilliant food with something for everyone (I had something off the special menu - chips, chicken and stuffing baguette), staff were great with a particular shoutout to the young man who served us and made sure our food was okay, very polite, friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend this place to anyone.
