Caffi Hems Cafe in Gwynedd

Visited this small cafe .We had a good cup of coffee .The lady behind the counter was very chatty and friendly .A good selection of cakes and sandwiches was available .We then bought some goods from the charity shop in the same building .A pleasant visit .

Paid £7 for 2 portions of cheesy chips, absolutely disgusting, never will we go back, ripped off! totally disgusting

We happened upon this caffi in the centre of Caernarfon by chance. It is based in the new Air Ambulance shop, which is spacious, and full 0f really good furniture and smaller items. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and we were delighted to see a cafe, changing room, and toilets for customer use. Two lovely ladies carefully served us an excellent hot chocolate and a cappuccino decaf with soya milk. We saw some tasty looking filled rolls and a wide selection of delicious looking cakes. The place was spotlessly clean and welcoming. We will definitely return.

Out walking on this beautiful day along the beach and stopped for drinks here. Would recommend a perfect place and the cakes looked fab

Amazing afternoon tea for my baby shower, everybody's dietary requirements were catered for and plenty of choice! Taryn the chef also made us a huge lemon meringue cake which everyone devoured and even after going back for seconds and thirds we still had a quarter left to freeze. Would definetly recommend for any occasion.

Just as I thought I'd regained my waistline the girls in Caffi HEMS have a new - amazeballs - menu! I recommend the shared platter, it's a challenge!

Just had a lovely meal here before visiting the Caernarfon Air Museum. Ham, Egg and Chips and a bacon toastie. Staff very friendly and efficient, great food… COVID precautions well adhered to with track and trace, sterilising all tables and social distancing. As we’re local we’ll be back again .

Called today for a cuppa and a cake. Sun was shining and we were lucky enough to get a table outside although there is space to put picnic blankets on the grassy area if the tables are all full. Had some hot drinks, a selection of cakes and a homemade scotch egg between us, all of which were lovely. And very reasonably priced. Would definitely call again 😊

A very well run place definitely worth stopping at to eat look around and while away a bit of time, covid safe and covid aware, lovely menu choice well presented beautifully cooked , staff very polite and informative well worth returning to.

Excellent Covid procedure in place. We enjoyed tea, bara brith and tomato & red pepper soup (all home made I was told). Excellent location if you are an aviation fan.

Have visited twice recently. Fairly basic but excellent menu. Had freshly made sandwiches and the most delicious brownies. Very clean, social distancing observed and friendly staff. Can sit in or out watching light aircraft. Very impressed, we will definitely be back!

Lovely cafe where you can sit outside and watch aircraft land and take off. Great for kids. Lovely freshly made sandwiches and baps and good prices. V friendly staff

Excellent choc mint brownie! Perfect place for kids to watch the helicopters landing and taking off. Friendly staff. Will be back.

I met a group of friends at the airport as two pf us was going on a pleasure flight. We decided to grab a bite to eat while we waited. The choices is very limited but again it is run by a charity and i assume staff are volunteers. Although a bit expensive for what you got it was fairly tasty. The service left a little to be desired to be honest. We got served by two older ladies, without being rude it looked like they had lost their ambition and it was time to retire. But the real selling point of this place it the location and view. It was amazing. All in all a decent experience.

We visited today for a drink and a snack. The staff are lovely and friendly. My son and husband had homemade cakes which they said were lovely. Would recommend. We would visit again.

After a nice time at the museum we decided to pop in for a coffee and snack ... we order coffee and chips the girl serving looked at the clock fair enough they stop serving at 3 ... the time was 2.15 ... along with the coffees she really didn't look like she wanted to do them we sat down she dumped them on the table ... dirty spoons .. and the cutlery still dripping with water ... there was two people workin so didn't wait to long to order... the lad working was polite and courteous but the girl well she must of been having a bad day

We stumbled across Hems Cafe during a rainy visit to the the nearby aviation museum and were really pleased with the quality of our lunch. Hems serves homely food done very well. The kids’ sandwiches were on lovely soft bread and had big slabs of ham inside. Our cheese toasties were very tasty and the chips were some of the best we’ve had in a long time.

Visited here 2 days on the trot. Had some lovely toastie and salads. Enough choice and very friendly staff. Recommended for all the family.

Always worth the long trip from Llandudno to visit this cafe. Lovely food and atmosphere, reasonably priced and always a friendly welcome!

I don't want to be negative in view of the fantastic work HELMS do for us all. But yesterday's visit fell short of what I expected. The service was extremely slow and the 2 staff on duty were surly and unhelpful. The coffee was dreadful. The toilets were dirty and smelly. Such a shame.

Great range from coffees and snacks to full meals. Very clean, friendly staff and inexpensive. Profits go to the Welshair ambulance service.

Great value breakfast bun for a fiver. You won't want two! They also take card payment... which is handy as tthe nearest cashline is about 150 miles away.

Took the time to come and visit this cafe as it used to be my favourite place. Well how wrong was I. The food was tasteless and chewy, and the staff were very rude. One of the cafe managers had no way of speaking to customers, think she needs further training. So we upped and left after getting no refund and disgusting food.

Super spot overlooking the airport and very accommodating for special dietary requirements. The best coffee we’ve had in North Wales!

I needed wheelchair access so this seemed like a good place, although the car park could do with a resurfacing, that was not the cafés responsibility it was good access and food, nice sandwich and chips were good the tables are good for wheelchairs and the customer service was just perfect. A big thank you from me and my sister x x x

Memories of being brought here by my dad. Now visiting in my own right. Cafe has a unique location, and free access to unique views. Also there is no other cafe close so no immediate competition.

Very busy in the cafe so a longer than usual wait but we really enjoyed the light breakfast. Good value and well cooked. It is a great location and it’s interesting to watch the aircraft. One of our favourite spots. Well done everybody who works there.

Caernarfon airport is very small. It offers micro lite and small plane pleasure rides. The cafe is bright and welcoming and looks straight onto the helipad for the Welsh mountain rescue team helicopter. Serves hot and cold drinks, breakfasts, snacks and meals

Profits go to support the Air Ambulance based at the airport, but it's worth going just for the food. Recommended is pie of the day or breakfast baps, etc. The cakes aren't bad either. Plenty of free parking, but lose all sense of guilt by walking there along the beach for a mile or so!!

First Class Everything was lovely,quality of food,service and the view is wonderful,food was freshly cooked. We will definitely call again. I had the large full English family had salad and ham Toasties,lovely 👍

Limited selection of food unlike that shown on Facebook page .

Dropped in for lunch while visiting the airport and nearby aviation museum; this cafe is very convenient for both. We just had sandwiches and coffee. The sandwiches were really nice and coffee good. Not a large choice of sandwiches but the choices were from classic fillings. The cafe has an amazing view of the airport to view aircraft departing and arriving. Overall really nice food and good location with great views.

Having been flying into Caernarfon for many years usually with the main purpose being to eat at Cafe Hems I was laid up with a medical condition that prevented me visiting for most of Summer 18. When in early September my wife and I finally flew in looking forward to lunch we were very disappointed to find that despite the cafe being quiet we had to wait forty five minutes to get two breakfast sandwiches served.

Was really looking forward to coming here, but left almost immediately. There was very little choice, no one who knew how to use the milk shake machine (which was one of the reasons we went!). The tables were dirty and the only table that seated a family of five was occupied by one of the staff eating her lunch.

It was interesting watching the comings and goings of the light aircraft and helicopters. The owners were happy to let one of our party work here all one morning as there was insufficient internet signal for her where we were staying. They provided a lovely and reasonably priced lunch for us too, despite having electrical problems that day, and all with a smile. All profits from the cafe help to support the Air Ambulance.

We just visited this airfield expecting to get a hearty full english breakfast as is offered at all other small airfields. This cafe does not do breakfast.Instead you can have a tasteless toasted sandwich or similar.Will pass over the next time

Such a shame! My wife and I have visited this cafe many times and always enjoyed the food and experience, unfortunately on this occasion we found that this place has become dirty, -all the windows had finger marks on them an the window we were sat next to had ice cream and lip marks obviously of a child. While we were waiting for our food a other customer had left and it took the staff over 20 minutes to clear the table even thou members of staff had walked past it several times. Overall the food was good but the cleanliness was off putting.

Wow fantastic breakfast all 3 of us had something different, and all was lovely And the price was very reasonable, will visit often 😀😀😀😀

If you're in the area visit Caffi HEMS Cafe at the Welsh Air Ambulance station at Caernarfon Airport, it's lush. Delicious food - I had the Vegan Butternut Burger with fries and lovely fresh coleslaw and salad - lovely, friendly staff, and an interesting place to sit for lunch. The dogs enjoyed their doggie ice cream too! Great stretch of beach and dunes to walk on too in front of Dinas Dinlle and beyond.

What a wonderful place. choice of sandwiches & cold drinks with a short but tempting a la carte menu. My husband had the hog roast bap which was wonderfully cooked & we shared cheesy chips which were fresh & tasty then mint areo brownie which melted in the mouth & the coffee was tasty & price was very reasonable I would recommend & will be going back soon

We had a nice brew , it was very very busy so we expected a wait (no problem) as obviously they serve air ambulance staff first as they had just come from a shout . I had a lovely tuna melt toastie at £5 with salad and coleslaw , in reply to the previous review re too pricey , well im not sure where they go but £5-£7 is usual for a sandwich or toastie and a sit down , staff are lovely , friendly and efficient . I will return .

Have visited a few times now and never been disappointed, always have a very enjoyable lunch in a comfortable setting. For the recent visit had the breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the sausages, which I found were sourced from a local butcher. Would definitely recommend having luch here.

Called in for a bit of brekkie before visiting the museum next door. Can't fault the place really, does what it says on the tin. Had a coffee and sausage sandwich, coffee was good, sausages were a bit 'cheap' but you got plenty.

I’m a frequent visitor to Caffi Hems so time for a quick review. Food is always excellent whether it’s a Sunday roast or home made soup and a roll. The staff are amazing and very friendly especially Kellie and Vikki. So, it’s well worth a visit and please remember that all the proceeds of this cafe go towards keeping the Wales Air Ambulance airborne so they can keep on saving lives every single day.

Having heard good things about this cafe, and the lack of cash machines around to buy from the chippy, i decided to go here with my children for lunch.

what a pleasure to find this place after a really disappointing lunch yesterday at a nearby cafe. such a fun place to have lunch while watching the coming and going at the airport, they where not that busy but staff where so very nice and soup was lovely and fresh and we enjoyed slices of home made cakes after, it was not very expensive either, well done will definitely be back.

We're staying nearby in a cottage and vist the cafe most mornings for sausage baps and a sausage for the dog. Staff are so lovely, nothing too much trouble. Food is lovely. Hot, fresh and excellent quality. Visit the cafe - you won't be disappointed.

We visited today, to partake of a pre-booked Christmas three course Lunch. We took over the café, and as such, had the place to ourselves.

Had read about Caffi Hems on here so I had to try it out when I was in the area. I was not disappointed!

Decent cafe but it's (almost) like being on a Top Gun film set with light aircraft and helicopters buzzing in and out. Great staff who allowed a grandchild with dietary issue to eat her own food.

We visited on a rainy day in August. A good selection of well prepared food was on offer at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and a clean airy establishment. Well worth a visit which can be extended by a visit to the Air Museum.

After a visit to the air museum next door we popped in for cake and coffee.

We needed some midday refreshments after visiting the nearby Air World Museum so strolled over to Caffi Hems.

we popped in for lunch after going to the airport museum. kids thought it was great as the helicopter and a plane took of when we where there, the sandwiches was good and reasonably priced and the cake was second best i have had in a long time, after having an amazing cake at Glynllifon. so many good bakers in a small area. ,

Round off your visit to the Aviation Museum by calling in here. Yummy cakes, full-on sandwiches, tasty cooked grub, friendly staff and the occasional plane landing outside the window.

Even though I work at this fabulous amazing caffi. The abilities of the staff are overwhelming. Tina is our cake making volunteer. She has given up her time to help in our caffi . Everybody loves Tina's cake.. you should come and try them.

Lovely little cafe situated in Dinas Dinlle. Delicious food, presented very well, good prices, friendly staff. The homeade cakes are worth travelling for as well.

Had a fantastic Sunday roast here and wonderful service. The fact that is was so busy didn't hinder the staff and didn't have to wait long for my food.

Tasty scrumptious Sunday Lunch. Well done. Friendly staff. Clean area. Will be calling more often. Great location. Will be spreading the word about this gem of a cafe.

Visited today with our local car club.Main reason was to see the air ambulance.We were not disappointed.Were able to speak to Dr & pilot & have a look at helicopter,fantastic.

Went in for a meal only wanted a small dinner the manager suggest we shareholders shareholders are had a beautiful cottage pie & he did me mash instead of chips & peas it was very big well worth £4.50 between us,I shared with my mother we had loads, my husband had full breakfast £2.99 fantastic value,highly recommended

Called a few weeks ago and had a fantastic all day breakfast and this prompted us to go for lunch today. Although it's a limited menu, we opted for the ham, egg and chips. Freshly cooked, it arrived with plentiful, chunky chips, thick slices of hand-cut ham and two eggs, it was beautiful and fantastic value for money at £5.95.

Went for a cuppa than watch food coming out the kitchen and we thought I'll have some of that and we were not disappointed Loverly food and staff good as well

Great cafe, friendly atmosphere and looks out on to the airport. Serve drinks and food. Can sit and watch the planes land and take off. Nice selection of cakes. Reasonable prices.

When for Sunday lunch as a large group( advised to book ahead).

We called in here for a late lunch after visiting the airworld museum (well worth a visit too) It was surprisingly busy but there were plenty of staff to help. The food is freshly cooked and very good. Good value too. - a large mug of coffee and a cake £3.75. With views of the airfield, outside picnic tables,dogs on leads outside and ample free parking, it is a good place for a family visit

Flew in today and visited the cafe. Service was friendly, the place was clean, the food was lovely and the coffee was excellent! Calling it a cafe does not do it justice as it serves really well presented food and has a varied menu. I only had a bacon roll but had to get off the ground again after it! The cakes looked stunning! Clearly people who are not aviators go here to enjoy the sights and sounds of a great busy little airport. Good seating outside - dogs allowed on leads. Children will love it. Plenty of parking if you come by car. Aviation museum on site too. This is a great place - it does get busy but go for a walk on the stunning beach and then drop in for a drink and a bite to eat. Good to hear lots of Welsh spoken too!

Food was fantastic couldnt fault the food on the other hand managment was shockin too busy walking about with her phone in her hand sat in reception chatting when her staff asked for help the reply was shocking to say the least no sort of behaviour for a person in management

On a quiet day service was very slow we had long finished our drinks before the food arrived , when food did arrive it was disappointing bacon was cremated and hash browns over cooked.

Very good breakfast/ food with view of the airport. Definitely worth a visit. Often see planes, helicopters and microlights . You can see the Air Ambulance and Search and Rescue Helicopter.

Visited here before starting a walk to Fort Belan. We all had the fish finger sandwich. Excellent choice. Plenty of filling and it came with tartare sauce and chips.

Great place for viewing the comings and goings at Caernarfon airport. We only had a coffee, which was good but the food looked nice. Open every day apart from Christmas which is worth knowing. We'll definitely be back

Went to the air museum and then met friends for coffee at the cafe ( the museum was really good... Our little boy loved that he could sit in the cockpit of the planes )

Ordered two sausage babs for myself and my wife, when they arrived they were luke warm --cold, 10 secs in microwave was all it would have taken to provide a decent lunch. Not again,....

good sized portions and lovely friendly staff. My parents who are retired often visit this cafe as its local to us and it seems many people do the same. I don't blame them , its clean and warm, there is the airport to view through the glass frontage and lovely views of the sea. They do a fab breakfast and the jackets spuds are great too. Very reasonably priced. Average kiddies menu. A hidden gem that has a regular cliental but welcomes all.

We bought 4 coffees and 4 3 soft drinks and it came in at £5 and snacks are fresh and made there, staff are very friendly. Excellent for visitors to the museum or Airfield.

My husband and I came here for lunch recently and were quite disappointed as it appears to be under new ownership. It seems to be run by the Welsh ambulance service as a means of raising funds, which is a good thing. However the quality of the food has suffered I believe. I had scrambled eggs on toast and the bread wasn't anything special just sliced bread that you get at a supermarket and over cooked eggs. We both agreed that we wouldn't come to this cafe again. It's easy to get to and park, just doesn't appeal to us anymore.

We visit the area twice a year and the airport café is always on our list as it is in a great location for eating as you watch the planes, choppers and microlights taking off and landing. The food is top notch, but service is sometimes grumpy and is always slooooow at best. They even ran out of bacon and sausages on back hol Monday - bad planning. Museum is worth visiting whilst here.
