Caffi Porthdinllaen in Gwynedd

Relaxed, family-run small café. A decent selection of light bites, cakes and ice creams to suit a variety of needs. Service was friendly and food and drinks were good. Everything looked clean and tidy and it was nice to see that staff seemed to enjoy their work.

Nice place. Comfortable and welcoming. Friendly staff. A good chance to learn welsh too. Great views and access to the beach.

It's been a few years since we've been here but it was still as lovely as ever, inside has changed slightly and I love it. We had ice creams including one for our dog after a walk around the headland, we really enjoyed.

Popped in for a coffee after a lovely walk only to be ignored by at least 4 members of staff. Anyway I walked out after being ignored for 5 minutes. I would have understood it if it was busy, but I was the only customer waiting. Not great customer service.

A pleasant little place to stop off for an ice cream mid afternoon after a trip to the beach. The staff seemed friendly enough and there are plenty of benches to sit outside.

The cafe is a pleasant hut with clean loos and seems promising. However the girls there more or less ignore the customers and seem to be there for a chat between themselves. I have been several times and they always find some excuse or other to not bother making the breakfast items. When the owner is present, they work better. It depends.

After a lovely walk to the point and back on a warm spring day we decided it was time for an ice-cream and the Caffi did not disappoint! A good selection of locally-made Welsh Maid scoop ice creams in a wide variety of flavours, with good service and card payment working. Good seating inside and out, with clean customer loo's.

A lovely bacon and egg bap, served on nice, local bread. Staff were very welcoming, and had the Royal Funeral on the TV! Will definitely be coming back!

Called in after a walk along coastal path. There were at least 4 members of staff behind the counter, none of whom seemed interested in serving me (i was the only customer waiting to be served). One member of staff was looking at social media on her phone, whilst her colleagues were talking amongst themselves. There wasn't any urgency to serve or acknowledge customers. I gave up waiting and left without being served. - Very poor customer service

Next to NT carpark. Lots of outside seating plus a small kids play area. Always a bonus Good coffee etc all reasonable prices Definitely cash only or a bank transfer!!! Whatever that is Highly recommend

Nice little cafe situated next to the National Trust car park. Good selection of meals, cakes and ice creams set reasonable prices. Plenty of outside seating as well as a few seats inside. It does say Cash only outside but they do take cards for payment. They explain that the connection is slow but we didn’t find it that bad. Worth a visit!!

We always call in after a good walk and we keep going back. The coffees are excellent along with most of the cakes & sandwiches but the scones aren’t the best. They don’t taste or look home-made and when I asked for one with jam & cream it was poor. The butter was in a lump as was the jam, instead of being spread out, and the cream was whipped rather than clotted. The rest of our food was very good cafe standard. The staff are very friendly & helpful

Been here a few times after doing the golf club walk. Sausage butty's are lovely and tea was piping hot. Last time we called here, my husband ordered 2 ham salad cobs, the lady informed him the card machine wasn't working, but we had no cash. She was lovely and said to take the food and drop the money in the next day (which we did) salad was fresh, and had plenty of ham inside. Will definitely return 👍👍

On holiday in Morfa Nefyn we had two breakfasts at the Caffi. Lovely staff and the breakfast butties were really good. Also had a couple of their delicious ice creams - fab Well worth a visit if you are passing, not cheap but quality so value for money

We really liked the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff at this cafe. It was very popular on the couple of occasions we visited during our holiday in the area. No indoor seating due to covid restrictions currently but there are plenty outdoor benches and a small play area for young children. Coffee and pancakes can't be beaten here! And they have a posh converted cargo container to beat the queues in the cafe if you fancy a locally made ice cream too before you head on your walk over the Porthdinlaen peninsula!

Stayed nearby in the camper and it was a welcome sight for breakfast. Lovely to sit outside and have a coffee and a bite to eat. My husband had pancakes and I had the nicest egg butty. Would recommend!

Good size site, good large grassed areas for kids to play. Nothing much around except pub 20 minutes walk away and nefyn beach too. You need a car to get to places further afield

Stopped in after walking round porth dinllaen headland. Is opposite the National trust car park. We had tried the pub but they had sold out of a lot but we were glad we waited till we got here. We had tuna salad bap, ham salad bap and mozzarella pesto panini. All very tasty and the bread was the nicest we’ve had in ages! All outdoor at the moment but plenty picnic tables and very nice and clean outdoor bathroom.

We had walked several miles along the coastal path before coming across this delightful cafe. Very friendly accommodating staff, good coffee and excellent ham in the ham salad bap! Lovely sitting outside in the sunshine refreshing ourselves for the next few miles. Thoroughly recommended.

Gosh reading the other reviews, I feel like I'm writing about a completely different place so maybe I caught them on a bad day. Because of covid rules we had to sit outside which was fine, there are nice views. We ordered two sandwiches, one brown, one white. It seemed like we were putting them out by asking if im honest. At £4.50 each we expected at least fresh bakery bread with maybe a little bit of salad or something but what we actually got were two slices of supermarket bread with little filling in a white paper bag thrown onto our table. Just seemed expensive for what we got so we won't be going again.

Nice staff, clean inside and out. Simple but good menu, lovely coffee and great ice cream. Lovely view as it’s backdrop

came here today with my siste and our kids and we had some gorgeus waffles. icecream and pancakes.I paid just over £8 for a can of lemonade, icecream on a cone, a cone for the baby and 3 pancakes which I think is a reasonable price. There was a one way system in place due to covid. The staff were pleasant enough. The toilet is in a shed outside and could do with a sign to be honest as I had to go in and ask. Toilet was covered in poo which wasnt very nice. good job im a nurse and im used to it haha! I have messaged the owner regarding the gate to the play area. I was holding my not quite 1 year old and my son went first however its a good job I was concentrating because the gate swung back and would of hit my babys face if I didnt stop it from swining any further. theres nothing to stop the gate to close its just a spring therefore swings out which is dangerous and someone will get hurt if its not sorted. The play area could do with some swings or something. however we came here for a treat of the waffles etc which were lovely. will be back

I just had to say that I have had the most scrumptious waffles and the staff were so friendly! Pizzas the night before were also yummy with great service! Definitely will be coming back😊

We regularly visit this cafe but sadly the standard of food has dipped.The staff are always very friendly & correct any problems, with a smile, if they can.The pancakes are awful. The sausage rolls are cheap & tasteless. The cakes are very nice but the tea is very weak.It’s such a shame as we’ve been calling in for years now - since they opened.

This cafe is excellently positioned next to the carpark. The toasties are well prices. Coffee is delicious. Staff are friendly. Dogs are welcome. Only trouble is, on wet days theres not much seating.

We rocked up at the Caffi 9:30 on a Tuesday morning not knowing that they don’t open till 10 at this time of year, no probs they just opened up for us. We had two bacon and egg butties which were absolutely super possibly the best I have ever tasted. It’s not the cheapest place I have eaten but if you want top nosh you have to pay a little extra and it is well worth it. The two charming ladies behind the counter did us proud and we will definitely pop back when next in Nefyn.

We called in for a simple lunch since the much more famous Ty Coch Inn was simply rammed. Toasties and cup of tea and nice ice cream

Visited off season, quite as expected but still a wonderful experience, kids enjoyed jacket potatos while we had a traditional leek and potato soup, fantastic flavours and lovely staff. True little gem of a place to escape from the typical coastal weather. Will visit next time. Only down side was nearest toilet was alittle walk down the road.

We have enjoyed many stops at this well placed, lovely cafe for a brew and a bite! The staff are always pleasant and friendly. I would definitely recommend that you don't walk past this cafe - stop and enjoy!

Excellent breakfasts. My wife had the banana & syrup pancakes which she said were lovely and I had the Fisherman’s Breakfast which was excellent. At £16.45 with one coffee I can see why some reviewers think it’s expensive but the quality ingredients make the pricing acceptable as far as we are concerned.Lovely outside seating area as well as indoor. Good car park, although we cycled from our campsite.

We stopped here for a quick lunch. We didn't know the area and didn't see other places other than a costcutter so went in. The people were pleasant enough but the price of the food was ridiculous.£6 for a plain sandwich (i.e. Two slices of hovis and whatever filler and some garnish) and £6.50 for a toastie (same bread and fillers just toasted). I honestly thought I was being trolled. I'd expect homemade baked bread for a toastie. It's not even like this is an exclusive area. I'd expect to pay this in London, not Nefyn. Do yourself a favour and just bring a packed lunch. We spent £34 on effectively 8 slices of Warburtons, some ham and cheese slices and a coffee. There's not even any toilets you can use.

Called in here 3 mornings for there breakfast, it was very good with the best sausage I have tasted. The place was always very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful, service was excellent, get in early as this place soon gets full.

This is the cafe opposite the National Trust car park. We had lunch on two occasions as well as ice cream at others. The do dinner on some evenings but when we tried it was closed. Food is OK but it is typical cafe. There were plenty of empty tables whenever we went.

Best pizza I’ve had in ages served by friendly staff in a clean comfy beach hut style cafe. Well worth a visit.

The cafe is very clean & welcoming, the staff were extremely friendly. We had a sandwich and a coffee which was great value for money and very tasty. There is a great selection of locally made ice-cream also.

Lovely menu and a wide selection of sandwiches and salad. Tasty cake to take away too . The service is brilliant and a car park on site. Also a little playground for the kids

Popped in for breakfast- really nice and tasty - proper bacon, lovely. Cafe nice and clean and staff friendly. Pets also allowed inside - brill

My Wife and I had walked over the gold course. It was very warm and we were parched. We had parked at the National Trust car park and the Caffi is right opposite the entrance. Friendly staff and the orange drink with nice, whilst we sat outside, was just the job!

Saw this little cafe when walking back to the car from the beach , nice outdoor seating where we could sit with the dog . I ordered a coffee and the rest of the family had a coke each and we all had a brownie , they were £2.20 each for a very thin slice so to pay nearly £18 for the 4 of us I thought was a bit much.

We accidentally stumbled upon this cafe whilst trying to find our car park having walked from the golf course, along the beach and the steep climb back up. We picked our table as it wasn't busy and required a quiet place at the back for our dog. Lovely clean and quiet place.Can thoroughly recommend the freshly prepared sandwiches and the ice cream. The nice young lady topped up the dog's water bottle when I asked.

We've been twice this week for breakfast, had lovely breakfast sandwiches in a nice atmosphere with lovely friendly staff. Have enjoyed the food and coffee and will probably return sometime again before we head home. Recommend it!

Visited with the dog and was allowed in, paid just over £8 for 2 teas and 2 slices of Bara Brith (which was really good!)

Great little cafe by the National Trust car park and lovely coffee after a walk on the beach. My parents had the full breakfasts and said they were delicious. Can recommend it the white chocolate and raspberry slices!

Friendly staff, quick service, and they do an extremely tasty mint choc chip milkshake! Seating inside and outside and a climbing frame for children.

Good little cafe, dog friendly too

Nice location, staff let a number of different groups in although very nearly closing time, grateful for that as long way to go to find alternative. Tea great, sadly chose to serve my cake hot!! and smothered in icing sugar!! When I queried heating up a tray bake, was told that this was how the manager stated cake should be served. Refund received.

We visited the above on a stormy Monday and the place was packed out. My better half opted for a freshly made panini and I had a coronation chicken sandwich on lovely fresh bread. Service was quick and friendly and it’s within a good location.

Nothing missing from this cliff top Café, well known for its ice cream a great stop after a brisk walk on the cliff and beach, very pleasant indeed, parking too!

Just ice cream this time, however on previous visits, this café has never failed to deliver good food, drinks and service. great views.

Great addition to a beautiful area of North Wales. Charming venue, friendly staff and very good food, drink and service. You will not be disappointed. Even free good WiFi. Seating inside and outside.

Great little cafe really nice food and staff food is delivered fast dog friendly as Well which is brilliant

We have visited here every year and it goes from strength to strength.

It was quite busy with all outside tables occupied but quiet inside. We had to wait a long time for the food but it was very enjoyable when it was eventually served although we felt it a bit overpriced. Our drinks had long gone but we refrained from ordering more as we would have to wait again for them. Maybe the drinks could come with the food - just a suggestion.

Went for breakfast in a group of 5 , went to get breakfast menus , turns out they don't do a full English breakfast but you can have all the ingredients of a breakfast on a sandwich! 🙄Work that one out !

In a great spot, not far from the beautiful Porthdinllaein beach. Lovely snacks and chocolate brownies to die for!

good value for money and great crempogau...pancakes a short dash to the other carpark run by the national tust

Excellent service , food very well presented and delivered quickly. Lots of local food and Welsh goods to choose from and the menu had been updated. We will return and bring more family members

Stopped for coffee and some eggs on toast. All good with friendly service. The limited choice reflects the problem for the café of having a large range when business is quiet or unreliable.

Just stopped for a coffee on our way to the beach. Very nice coffee, nice surroundings inside and out. Lovely views.

Visited this café for breakfast, lunch and evening meal whilst on holiday in Morfa Nefyn. The staff are very friendly, the service is good and the food is good too. Breakfast offerings are good, great smoothies and lovely coffee. The lunch sandwiches are nice and the pizza was also good in the evening. Great ambience with a surf shack theme, the outside space has lovely views over the countryside. Dog friendly too. We would recommend and will return if in the area again.

Arrived at quiet time, only two other couples present. I was ignored for 5 mins whilst two members of staff chatted together in front of me. When I asked if they could do toasted tea cakes, the girl pointed to a cabinet and said that's what they've got. I ordered two hot drinks and buttered toast. The drinks were delivered after ten minutes. After 20 mins the toast arrived with an apology for the delay stating someone forgot. By now, we had finished our drinks so ordered more. By the time they arrived we had finished the toast!

Tried the Italian night, lovely food , friendly staff.could see all food being prepared in the kitchen which is always good

We visited last week after our lovely walk. We had ice cream - salted caramel, strawberry and chocolate brownie. All really delicious at £2.30 per generous portion. Good service, pleasant place, we noticed some nice cakes, coffees there and also offers for Italian night.

We live locally and were meeting family prior to birthday celebrations. Lunch time snacks required.

Have had a few delicious coffees here and a breakfast. Breakfast was limited due to staff shortages but what was on offer was delicios and freas.

The perfect pit stop after a blowy walk along the golf course to Coch Inn and the lifeboat station. Gorgeous hot chocolate and friendly staff

Found this little place on a visit to friends in Morfa Nefyn. It's on the road to the beach where further up is a season toll to park in the beach car park this attractive cafe is at the beginning of the road and has its own free car park and outside seating area. Panines and sandwiches were enjoyed by us together with great coffee. Dogs are welcome inside. Average cost but the offerings worth the price.

We called in for breakfast. The bacon and sausage sandwiches were very expensive for what you got in our view - would not go back for breakfast!

Had coffee and cake here after a poor experience at Ty Coch. Friendly staff excellent coffee and cake.

Has always been a nice cafe but has just been beautifully redesigned. Great food, great coffee, really nice people. -David and Sheila

Really convenient for us as we have a holiday home just down the road. Great pizzas, and they accommodate for children too. I'm gluten free and they had pizza bases for me, very tasty! Service was good and the staff are really friendly. The ice creams are devine, lots of flavours to chose from, though a little pricy. There's an outdoor play area and al fresco dining too. Just situated at the foot of the golf club road and near the car park for the beach.

A couple of visits in the past week. Tea and coffee nice. Cakes I'm afraid not so!! Millionaires short bread...

Ordered a couple of pizzas to take away one evening but at almost £10 each we were really disappointed when...

Clean, comfortable, next to the NT car park, but with own limited parking space. Attentive staff, better than average coffee.

Yesterday we found this lovely place to have breakfast - what a treat ! Delicious bacon sandwich and even more...

my wife and I had coffee and a snack lunch. at this great little cafe. The staff are very friendly...

A great little café where you can seek some solitude and enjoy a great coffee and cake. Breakfast is also really good and their Pancakes are a definite favourite

Slightly over priced when taking stuff away, could do with a few more tables and chairs outside. Staff very pleasant.

We had tea, coffee and then dinner in this great little cafe. There is a friendly welcome and good food. The evening pizza was excellent and great value for money. a little gem!

We were greeted with a warm welcome and were shown to a table. There are a good selection of pizzas to choose from, they can be on a gluten free base if you need one. The milkshakes here are very good and got high approval from us.We had the Mediterranean pizza, one on a gluten free base and we enjoyed them a lot. The side salad was excellent. We received very friendly service, it completed what was a lovely meal.We will be returning.

Nice spot on the way up to the golf club / Ty Coch. Nice paninis and sandwiches, teas etc and staff very welcoming and friendly. Thought the portions were slightly smaller than price tags suggested is the only critisicm, but generally it's worth it.

Lovely little coffee shop but not a lot of choice when we arrived mid afternoon. We had scones which were good and cake. Meant to be open for pizza but not sure of times. Cofffee was good.

Not great , food was good but understaffed so not offering a full menu , order was wrong when it came. Supposed to be open for pizza in the evening but been closed every time I've gone , plenty of room for improvement

Brilliant ice cream choices scooped fresh and welsh ice cream too!! Brilliant pizza night on and fab food. Play area seperate to main eating area and outdoor and indoor glass windowed tables. Something for everyone.

Park in the National Trust car park, head down to the beach head westwards, easiest a low tide for twenty minutes to the Ty Coch Inn. Have a break over a pint of local ale before walking eastwards over the golf course enjoying the spectacular coastal scenery and call in the Caffi for a refreshing ice-cream, from a choice of flavours. Great end to a wonderful circular walk.

Called in for an ice-cream after a long walk and in need of refreshment. Such lovely friendly staff. Very clean and tidy tables and room. Looking at the menu for future visits offered a good choice of food and drink. A welcoming cafe to visit.

This was my first visit and I dont recall it being there in the past so perhaps the place is quite new, it certainly looks new on the outside and in.I wanted something with sausage in, but their dinnertime menu doesnt include it, they dont have a varied range so I chose to have a tuna Melt Ciabatta, and a Latte, I sat down and the Latte arrived first and it looked the part, nice presentation and the taste matched it, the Ciabatte seemed to take a while but once on the table it looked very tasty and had a nice side salad and some upmarket crisps.Both the Latte and Ciabatta didnt disapoint, both were very tasty.The staff seemed pleasant, and the place was spotlessly clean.Prices were higher than I'd like, but when the food was served you can see that it contained good quality ingredients.Next time I am in the area I will certainly call again but perhaps a bit earlier to try the breakfast menu.

Best bacon butties made from local farm bred pork on door step bread ymmie. Staff were really lovely couldnt do enough for you. Cafe itself was quirky

Completely renovated not long ago, the cafe's interior is all welcoming wood. Outside is a small car park and picnic-style tables under a pergola. When we visited there were no shady spots, the only reason this review is not 5*. It is a great place for a snack or meal before or during or after a coast path walk or a bathe, as it is right opposite the National Trust car park that is next to the beach. Food is simple but tasty and they serve quality coffee. Pizzas only at weekends, however, when we were there. Service is friendly and prompt and welcoming. Try it!

we have eaten here several times - the pizzas on friday & saturday evenings are superb & we love the coffee. Breakfast was great too. Everything is freshly prepared.

while away hours because that is how long it takes most the staff to acknowledge you are there before the long process of making a coffee, we joined others in leaving before we got served as it just took to long and a the prices it should be better.We did have two small pizzas and a bottle of beer and a glass of wine £35

A delicious end to a lovely week in Nefyn. Once packed up and keys back in the box we popped in here for breakfast on the way home. 2 full breakfasts (bacon, sausage, fried egg, mushrooms, black pudding, beans, toast. A bagel with scrambled egg and bacon for the lightweight! . All washed down with tea and latte. I cannot fault the quality and quantity - hot, fresh and even the tea stayed hot in the teapot to the end. Not the cheapest but very good value for what we got. Go on treat yourselves. We did and wish we had gone earlier in the week for lunch and a cheeky wine.

Great place call in after walk along coastal paths and beach lovely afternoon refreshments especially the ice creams .nice clean seating area outside .now do pizza beer deals on Saturdays to takeaway too

Lovely coffee. Good for bunch. Try to support local businesses and when ever we are in the area we stop off at Caffi Porthdinllaen.

I don't mind paying more for food if it is good and tasty but must say that I felt very ripped off after this visit. £16.10 for one tea, one camomile tea bag and one hot chocolate, and three portions of chips. The chips were the frozen thin french fry type, very small portions that were completely tasteless and served in a small bowl not much bigger that a cup. We smothered them in vinegar to try to add some taste. At £3 per serving (no sign of a price list before ordering although they had price codes on a menu that didn't mean anything to us) we were astonished at how this could be justified. Service could have been better too.This is the first time of writing a bad review, and needless to say, we won't be returning.

Popped in for tea and cake. Smelt of fresh wood inside & out which was nice. Good service. Not a huge selection of cakes but enough to choose a cream scone & a blond brownie. 2 teas. All came to just under £10. Not cheap but I would return.

Always used to use this Café for a Coffee or an ice cream. We went for the first time since the refurbishment which is good but could not believe we were charged £6.60 for 2 cones of ice cream. That was after we were directed to a gazebo round the back of the cafe to choose our ice creams. Needless to say we will unfortunately not be returning.

As we walked in it seemed a bit unfriendly, but that did change. We all had hot drinks, tea, cappuccino, latte. All were very nice drinks. Right next to National Trust car park, so parked car first as limited parking at cafe. We normally have cake but wasn't much selection on show - but admittedly, we didn't ask - so probably our fault.

Lovely looking cafe, but some oddities! Menu was a hand-written, and quite crumpled A4 piece of paper near the till. No menu with details of drinks that were available. Service incredibly slow, and even placing an order seemed to take forever whilst the staff entered everything into a laptop.We were there in the morning, and saw all the fresh buns arrive, so were looking forward to coming back in the afternoon. they were as good as they looked, but I have to admit taht I woudl not have bought one had I just seen them....I am really not into slices of cake that are individually wrapped up in cling film (just a personal thing!).Nice range of drinks, but just very, very slow to bring it over. Also, asked for milk for my 5 year-old and, on the first occasion was presented with what must have been over half a pint, and the second time was a full glass (looked like over 2/3 pint!). Needless to say, he did not manage it!Small play area outside. Spotless loos, although you do get a chilly bum!!!!

Great pizzas (stone baked), great service, great value, really friendly and helpful staff in a great location- oh and Moretti beer. What more could you want? Highly recommend:)
