Caffi Portmeirion in Gwynedd

I was waiting for a train and I saw this coffee shop a short distance away from the station in Porthmadog. It was virtualy empty appart from one other customer. I ordered a cappachino and waited for it to be made before sitting near thge window with a view of the Tesco store and carpark. The coffe wasa average although cheaper than most other cafes but it was too hot, almost boiling. As I had to wait longer than expected I only just caught my train!

Good location 2mins walk from station and in front of a super market. Really nice and good service by 2 ladies on counter. Coffee was good and strong and I love scone with jam and cream. Atmosphere was calm and friendly. Seating inside and few at front.

On holiday in North Wales, the woman at the counter basically sent us away saying they don’t have any sausages for breakfast even though several tables were eating sausage, stared us out the door. Ridiculous , wouldn’t recommend if you’re not local or Welsh speaking.

Absolutely love this cafe it’s always so nice and we frequent it many times while we are away helpful with my gluten allergy and the gluten free lemon meringue tastes yummy See you soon

Fabulous gem of restaurant, cafe upstairs at the gorgeous Portmeirion department store in Porthmadog. Just a pot of tea this afternoon in their stylish Sophie Conran crockery. And Mum has slice of today's home baked Victoria Sponge cake home with her. Kelsie is always delightful and we looks forward to seeing her. Chef produces one of my absolute favourite Ceasar Salads and all the food is blasus iawn!! (VERY TASTY)

This is my favourite place to eat in Portmadog. Always a friendly welcome, impeccably clean, helpful and knowledgeable staff. There is a good selection of vegan and vegetarian options and fairly priced. I would recommend to anyone!

It was really busy when we arrived but our tea and cakes were served really fast as the staff were really quick and hard working. I had bara brith and my son chocolate orange cake- they were gorgeous! Would definitely return

I am a local who has visited here several times, but felt very strongly that the attitude of the staff today was nothing short of rude, on arrival we were told "no sunday lunch today", this was before the usual pleasantries of good afternoon etc, we were shown to a table. The menu is very limited , no sandwiches or the usual fare, i realise that this is Portmeirion and they may feel that they want to be different ,but perhaps be different in a positive way, staff training top priority,management may benifit of a walk up to The Port cafe at the top of the High street and wonder why they are so busy and their staff so polite and grateful for your custom. Very disappointing visit.

I'd like to be able to review the food here but having sat waiting to be served by young girls who were determined to ignore us whilst they chatted with customers they obviously knew, and who had walked in after us. We eventually walked out. Why not have a sign on the door saying English people not welcome? It would have saved us time. Racism seems to be alive and well in Porthmadog.

We really enjoyed our lunch here! A highlight of our day visit to Porthmadog. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and my partner who is vegan asked if this was a vegan dish. The friendly server went to find out and came back quickly saying the chef was able to make it vegan for him. He said it was the best gnocchi he had ever eaten! The vegetarian mezze I had was delicious as well, plenty of food and the halloumi was perfectly cooked, so many places over cook it but not here! I also had an almond milk latte that was delicious, something else that is often difficult to get right because of the almond milk but it was creamy and very enjoyable. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We would definitely recommend this lovely cafe.

Cramped layout of seating, basic tea and coffee. Near a major bus stop so busy at times, and when it's raining. Nothing special.

Visited here for the first time after living here for 2 years! Why we never visited before I do not know. It’s basically a hidden gem within a superb shop. Like shops should be! The food we had was stunning! The vegetarian mezze and Greek salad my wife had was fresh as you could get and portions a fab size. Our kids had chicken goujons and they said they were the best they had ever had. The chicken was proper chicken not your McDonald’s rubbish. Covered in a light panko crumb you could tell they were fresh and not frozen. Hot chocolates were some of the nicest I’ve ever had. The place was also immaculately clean. See you next week after Christmas shopping 😊

We visited this cafe on a rainy day expecting to be cheered up - welcome very chilly - coffee put down in from of us with no words or chat - no ambiance, waitress could not have cared less whether she served us or not .One star as coffee drinkable Could this have been because we were English !!

We visited the shop as it’s one of my favourites to realise there was a cafe upstairs .. we stayed for lunch and what a treat it was I had the vegetarian Mezze it was perfect all our meals were good the scones were great snd the eaten mess was enormous with a gorgeous chewy meringue The staff were lovely and friendly it was COVID safe everything was wiped down between customers basically a lovely experience we shall definitely return

We called in here last week while staying in the area and had a spot of lunch, we opted for a ham salad barmcake and loved it, the ham was cooked perfectly, big chunks of it warmed up, the bread was really soft too. Great place to eat and if I was in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to call in.

We had lunch at the Caffi Portmeirion whilst on holiday nearby. The café was hidden above the Portmeirion shop on the ground floor and was a bright, clean, modern styled café which reminded of of some of the Swedish cafés we have visited before. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad and although it took a some time to arrive, it was cooked and prepared fresh and was one of the best Caesar Salads I have ever had. This café is a hidden gem and an oasis of peace and quiet amongst all the very busy, noisy cafés used by the visiting tourists.

Visited mid afternoon for a snack lunch comprising 2 bowls of soup, 2 pieces of barra brith and 2 soft drinks. Cafe was fairly quiet and ste out upstairs abover the Pormerion Shop. Lift was our of order so required a steep climb up a set of spral stairs, not quite wide enough for good social distancing but less of an issue as the cafe was quiet. Soup & drinks arrived ok, brought to our table by another server from the kitchen. After a while,once the soup had been consumed, we waited and waited for our Barra Brith to be served. Eventually, my wife attracted the attention of our server, who came over to our table. When we asked about the Barra Brith, the server had clearly not added the items to our order. Even worse, she then asked, how many pieces do you want? Totally hopeless. The final insult was the bill - £24 for 2 bowls of soup, a 275ml Coke Zero, a bottle of still mineral water and two rather small pieces of Barra Brith. You couldn't make it up. Only go there if you want to be fleeced 😞

Lovely caffi and the children had a small choice which was also considerate of children. But, do not come here if you have a Gluten or grains allergy. There is only one option on the menu for you (Greek Salad). The salad looked lovely, but is not my thing as I do not like feta cheese and olives. Very disappointed as an allergy sufferer.

We called in to escape the rain, and enjoyed browing the huge and interesting shop. Portmeirion pottery, kitchenware and gifts galore.Then up to the first floor café - delicious teas, great service and excellent covid distancing/hygeine measures, (eg: take the lift up, take the stairs down).The shop is on the High Street, with on street parking and level access.

Lovely shop. So clean. We had a great and coffee. The staff were great and the Covid precautions were great. Fantastic coffee and yummy waffle. Then looked around the store. If you like kitchen shops you will love this one.

Waitresses were polite and friendly and sanitised everywhere thoroughly but the cod was so dry I think that it had probably been re heated from the day before. Very limited menu and not much for a vegetarian at all.

Nice food ,good coffee , reasonable prices , pleasant staff ,clean toilet. Had a lamb balti from the specials board for £8:95 ,ample portion very tasty.

Popped in for a drink in between downpours on a wet afternoon. A lovely restaurant catering for all tastes and appetites. Friendly and helpful staff. Most enjoyable.

Tea and coffee was acceptable, cake was dry and stale.Will not return.Staff were helpful and polite,menu very limited.

Nice cup of coffee and tea on arrival , and the best cheese on toast in the whole of North Wales served by a Welsh lady waitress as they all are absolutely beautiful

Lovely cafe , small and quaint , friendly staff , nice little outside area on the street , had a lovely pot of two for tea with the ladies , while the men did the grocery shopping !

Although we were quite late to lunch(2pm) there were only 5 items on the menu and 4 of them were baps and the prices were extortionate ie.£3.95 for a simple grated cheese sandwich. The coffee was good though and decent customer service.

Popped in mid afternoon. Busy cafe with lots of customers. The staff were friendly and helpful. Coffee was hot and cakes went down well too!

Coffee was pleasant but Gluten Free options were the usual chocolate fudge or brownie ... similar in texture and taste ... there might have been a meringue . Could I possibly have some toast I asked... we don’t do that here was the response .. 3 chefs, limited gf choice ... disappointing response . If you are not gf the vast array of cakes and the scones looked fabulous!

one of the best cups of coffee i have had out and the scones with cream and jam well worth the money.

Just had a cup of tea but couldn’t wait to leave as no atmosphere. Staff were friendly enough but the cafe itself was dull and lacking in atmosphere. No menu or anything to see what was available. Not tempted to go back

Cup of tea lovely and enough for 2 in a pot. Hubby had a lovely latte and we both had a delicious big,tasty and fresh scone each with jam and cream. Nice ambience. Would call again when next in Porthmadog.

Nice and clean space. Staff helpful. Selection of cakes and bacon baps available. No vegetarian choices :( Nice selection of pottery to look at :) good quality food

Had a coffee and soup outside but spoil t by another customer smoking next to us. asked him to stop but ignored.

I visited Porthmadog yesterday and was disappointed that the dog friendly cafe i intended to visit was closed.

Popped in for a drink and cake for children. Service was poor no thanks etc asked for a straw for my daughter it was the end of the world. Cake was stale and dry. The coffee was nice though

We tried to get something to eat here about an hour before they closed. Unfortunately they only had one slice of lemon meringue and two slices of some other cake at that time. The positives were that the lemon meringue looked amazing and clearly lots of others thought so too as otherwise there'd have been more left. The disappointment was that with an hour to go there wasn't really anything left to buy. So, recommended by default but go earlier in the day if you don't want to be disappointed. We were disappointed, hence 3/5.

Called in for a late lunchtime snack after finding that the Tesco "Superstore" opposite didn't even have a coffee shop. So glad we did.

It is about 9 months ago since Hubby and I last visited this Cafe which is situated right across the road from Tesco. On a recent rainy Sunday afternoon we decided to give it another try. We both had a bacon & salad filled white bap and a pot of tea which cost £10.90 (card payments accepted). Service was quite quick. The bacon was a bit rubbery and the baps were on the dry side (even though they were buttered). However, Hubby was so hungry he soon ate it all. I managed to eat all of mine after adding a good dollop of spicy chutney.

I got there around 1300, looked around for a menu to find non, I ask one of the staff a young girl, who looked really unhappy, if there was a menu, she replied no, there was a silence, so I asked what is there to eat, she replied rolls, cheese, ham or bacon, I asked if I could have a bacon roll on brown bread, and was told only white rolls. I waited some time for the roll and in the mean time, watched another lady staff member, quite a bit older than the girl, who looked very stern, some out from the kitchen with a plate full of lovely salad, different meats and I think cheese, she then leisurely, strolled round choosing a jar of pickle, from a shelf, she then took a huge dollop of it and plopped it on her plate and tucked in to her feast.

While we were on holiday my daughter and I went for a wander round Portmadog . We stopped here for coffee staff busy but very friendly .

We drink our coffee black and have never left coffee before. But we left this. Really bitter. Possibly better if disguised with milk and syrups but we won't go back.

Nipped in for a cuppa on a cold December day, served on. Portmerion China who could ask for more. Well worth a visit.

Me fui con mi marido en 12. 20 p. m. el viernes. Los sofás ahora han estropeado. No hay menú detallado, así que tienes que pedir en el mostrador lo que está disponible. Queríamos panecillos calientes (puede tener blanco o marrón). Me dijeron que la carne asada no estaba preparado todavía, pero había tocino. Camarera tenía para comprobar si había suficiente para 2 porciones (había). Teníamos una taza de té y una taza de agua caliente entre nosotros que fue puesta en una bandeja que nos llevó a nuestra mesa. No tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para que la camarera nos trae nuestro panecillos. Por desgracia el 2 rebanadas de tocino era fría y seca, así que elegí para añadir una cucharada de chutney. La cuenta fue de 10 libras. 90 que pude pagar con tarjeta. Este café ofrece una selección limitada de artículos salados - siempre hay una mejor selección de pasteles.

A very good coffee shop which has a small but good range of accompanying cakes and snacks. Also sells Portmeirion kitchen range products. We often pop in for a mid morning coffee.

Gran lugar para relajarse, especialmente si puedes conseguir uno de los sofás encantador en la ventana! Mi madre y yo nos detuvimos para algunos el café y la tarta, y me encantó cada minuto - especialmente las interminables bromas galés entre las mesas. Obviamente un lugar apoyado por la gente, y donde todo el mundo parecía conocer a todos los demás, incluyendo el personal. No puedo esperar a volver y participar en la conversación (de nuevo).

We've had the bread basket for breakfast here many times, and it's good, particularly when you can help yourself to a wide range of jams from the counter. The coffee too is excellent. That said, I have to agree that the staff don't seem overly friendly or eager to serve, and there is no menu - just maybe a "filling of the day" for the rolls. There are always cakes in the cabinet - maybe they just don't "do" savoury food. As well as tourists, there seem to be Welsh speaking regulars too, so the place must have some appeal. However, I can't imagine that Portmeirion Village would be at all happy with the standard of this cafe. I don't know whether they are connected, but if not, then that raises a further question about the name. Could (and should) be so much better.

First time there - even though we live few miles away. Asked for what I would call a "menu" - no such thing. We were told that they did not serve hot food. I KNEW THAT. All I wanted was to have SOME inkling re Sandwiches .............was told Hot Gammon, Cold Beef, Cheese or some other boring stuff. 4 Choices? Wow - what age are they in?As for the décor; plastic settees with rips and carpet tape holding them together!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE NAME PORTMEIRION has anything to do with this place. Robin Llywelyn? Seriously rwan?We ordered 1 beef on brown and 1 cheese on brown (which came on white by the way). 1 tea and 1 Americano..............................£!1.80!!!!!!!!!!! Nearly died.The Wenallt Delly in Llanbedr would have done that (with larger fillings for around £7.00) Daylight Robbery - Do we pay the price for rubbishy food just for the Portmeirion name?Coffee was excellent tho and the staff were Welsh speakers - which in Wales is what I want.No return sorry - BYTH ETO

It looks inviting from outside, but we were very disappointed. Cheap and tacky interior, plastic chairs, ripped fabric on the sofas etc. The staff make no effort to be welcoming or create an atmosphere that makes you want to stay.The main redeeming feature of this place for us was that it is right next to the launderette, so you can spend somewhere while waiting for the wash to finish.

A pleasant stop on a ride through mid Wales. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the coffee was excellent. I had a very tasty pork roll followed by a crumble tart with cream. It was a pleasant stop over and good value.

We called in for a quick lunch this week! My husband ordered -I wanted a hot pork roll that was in the board my hubby a cheese roll being a veggie!! The pork was off so he opted for a beef for me!! It came along with Cappuccino ! The roll was was exactly that a roll no butter no salad just mest on mine Grated cheese on hubbys no salad garnish nothing!!! Very dissapointed and NOT cheap!!

Nice cafe,good service and nice drinks.Its a shop too but the items for sale are very expensive. nice town to visit.

Arrived in the middle of a cloudburst service was fast I didn't eat but friends cakes and sundaes looked lovely. Coffee was great and no extra charge for decaff

Whay can I say... Brilliant service, fantastic cup of tea and homemade cakes to die for!! Thank you ladies for making us feel so welcome

Car broke down so took refuge here while waiting for vehicle rescue service to materialise. Very reasonable prices; charming staff and big portions of food restored my sense of humour. Although the choice of food was limited what was on offer was fresh and tasty. A plus was the wide range of pickles and condiments.

Good place to visit when at Portmeirion. Clean and very good service. Especially good after a walk around to woods and seashore.

the toast is fantastic value only place that i know where you can get a coffee and a basket of toast for under a fiver

I have been attended the cafe on a number of occasions over the years and have never been disappointed.Excellent service and relaxed \ unpretentious atmosphere. The coffee is far better than Costa and the home made cakes are to die for!!!!

Good coffee, excellent cakes, selection of toast always a winner. The unrushed atmosphere in pleasant surroundings provides chance to recharge the batteries when trying to cram in all the experiences the area has to offer.

excellent place to sit and have tasty snacks and drinks and chill ..what's nice about here is that you can sit for hours there and they don't mind at all !!!friendly staff too opposite tesco s in Portmadoc convenient ..leave your car in Tesco car park and cross over and have a wonder ...very relaxed cafe ...

We often stop here for coffe, which is lovely although I wish the cup sizes were larger. There is a good range of cakes and nice ice cream with a large choice of flavours. Toilets are always spotless. This cafe is a good option if you are at the far end of Porthmadog near Tesco and is not so busy as some of the others.

Decent coffee, amazing Banoffee tartlets and a pleasant, clean environment. Look out the window and yet another of Wales' staggering views rises above the local Tesco's! Sound unpleasant? It's really not. For those of us camping/holidaying in the area, this is a highly recommended rest stop to refuel human, four wheeled friend and comestible larder all in one.Enjoyed the Banoffee tartlets though, ooh did I say that already? They really ARE that good :)

had roast diner, service fine, other reviews make me think I must have been lucky! not really cheap but not bad.. most places in the area seem over priced.. ten quid for roast( plenty of meat, (bit tough) good choice of veg but small portions for me..fiver for desserts.. coffee ok.. overall ,just ok.. not memorable, faintly tatty décor.. no atmosphere.. wouldn't return if I had a choice...I couldn't find a wetherspoons in the area!

Quite expensive, I thought. But do look out for the day's specials on the chalk boards (the staff didn't point them out to me). The food was very good though, and the service was pretty quick.

Came here to buy ice cream for our family .just been left standing there for 5 minute in an empty restaurant and two waitress were obviously acknowledged of our presence but still didn't move to serve us ice cream ,they rather talked behind the counter and laugh .what kind of coffee shop does not bother about service? So decided to leave and keep our money.

Great for coffee, smacks, brilliant icecream great choice of flavoursagain on a slope and slippery, but a good view of a wedding taking place

I have just had a lovely ham bap a cappuccino and a tiffin. All were great and such friendly service it is a great mace to stop when exploring this lovely part of the UK

Had a lovely breakfast here, coffee great and Llywela the Supervisor made us feel really welcome will call again soon.

My wife and I visited the Caffi on Friday 24th of April at 1.40pm for lunch, and asked at the counter for a menu only to be told they had run out of food ' excuse me ' I said, you have nothing no cheese, salad, bread anything ? No was they reply only cakes ! So we promptly left, I honestly think this is terrible, we walked 20yds down the road and enjoyed an excellent lunch at a bistro Caffi

Visited here a couple of times and been quite pleased. Anyway visited one quiet monday afternoon.. the cafe was empty. But the tabled were almost all dirty! Staff were standing behind chatting away as if they had nothing to do. One female worker was very rude, muttered under her breath 'o no customers' was made to feel worthless. Would not recommend this cafe very disappointing.

My favourite place for breakfast. Order a coffee and a basket of mixed toast, choose your jams from the array of jars then enjoy.

Popped in for a latte and a beef salad bap on Friday. It was great. I love Lavazza coffee and they really know how to make it well here. The cakes looked really lush but I just wanted a bap for lunch, they had Welsh roast beef that day and it came in a nice big bap with a some fresh salad leaves and dressing, really tasty, and a good choice of help yourself chutneys. At £3.50 its great value for fresh tasty food. Nice, local staff all Welsh speaking which is a big bonus. Clean, contemporary decor and good location opposite Tescos car park.

I visited this cafe last year and was really pleased with the whole experience, clean, friendly staff, really nice hot roast in fresh rolls with salad, homemade cakes, chutneys and jams. Decided to visit again today as we were in the area, I can not believe that it's the same establishment. If I were Portmeirion I would be embarrassed. If you were a tourist and visited this cafe, based on what I saw today I would not visit Portmeirion! Dirty tables, dirty floor, large floor to ceiling windows filthy, no menus, no price list (i.e baps, hot meats etc), lazy, miserable staff that gave preference to locals the list could go on. The beef salad bap was was fine, however the whole experience just left me feeling angry that I'd forked out to be given shoddy service in filthy premises Portmeirion Cafe Porthmadog.................sort yourself out!

Had a lovely pot of tea and a couple of excellent cakes here on Saturday. The strawberry roulade was heavy on the cream and nice and moist, while the millionaires shortbread couldn't be beaten.Really nice atmosphere with free newspapers and a very chilled 'no hurry' type feel.Well worth a visit if you're passing
