Caffi Wylfa in Wrexham

Absolutely rubbish walked in and didn't get a greeting from the staff behind the counter and it was card only but not shown properly on the window a bit bigger will help. What about the older generation who doesn't have a credit card only money well I'm not coming back a place to avoid

Very nice breakfast, coffee wasn’t great, staff were lovely. Took cakes and a sandwich away, all very good. We booked, but plenty of seating.

Once again Chirk Cricket Club thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic hot buffet supplied by Caffi Wylfa at Chirk AAA’s for their annual Presentation Evening on 9th November. Chris & his team are all lovely & so friendly. So much food everyone had seconds & doggy bags! This is the third year they have catered for us & already booked them for next year. Cannot fault them. Check out their Sunday lunches you won’t be disappointed.

A spontaneous trip to Caffi Wylfa for a much talked about Sunday lunch ! Lovely friendly staff , food cooked fresh to order which clearly showed! Excellent quality ingredients .. the best Sunday lunch we have both had in a long time ! Delicious home cooked dinner of more than ample portions, super value for money … top class grub!

Have visited this cafe on many occasions over the last few years whilst staying in the area, a right little gem, friendly staff, the menu has a good selection especially for me being a vegetarian and the homemade soup is amazing. We prefer to sit outside whatever the weather, a great place.

A wonderful welcoming place. Cakes perfection. Sunday lunches and full savoury menu available. Accessible toilet. A wonderful place.

Incredible Sunday roast and apple crumble for an exceptional price. Hate to have had a preconception about the meal but pleased to be more than pleasantly surprised. Generous portion, delicious and very inexpensive. Will definitely be back.

Have visited many times over the last couple of years, but cafe seems to have become a victim of its own success. Staff and service only average now (previously lovely staff). Prices and portion sizes no longer represent value for money. There are better cafes further along the canal with nicer ambience and value for money. Shame really

Went for lovely breakfast with my daughter First people to arrive, walk in 3 people standing there doing nothing looking but can’t even say hello! Someone else comes in and get served, eventually we get served, need to repeat everything 3 times Eventually it arrives by grumpy chef, my daughters scrambled egg is a microwave mess and goes back I ask for ground black pepper, pepper of the wrong type is thrown at the table No apologies no for our disjointed meal because of a lazy chef If you can’t be bothered do something else I won’t return

Scones are appalling, cakes are below average. They struggle to deliver good service especially when busy. We came for lunch but wait time was unacceptable. It is a pity because the location is good.

Really nice setting, able to sit outside. Good service and food. Rounded off a good day with friends.

We came back here for "brunch" a couple of times during our latest canal trip. Th food andservice were just as good as before and this time we notived the long list of local clubs an activities they support. If you support this cafe, you will also be supporting a lot of good work in the local community. Of course, you could just go for th cakes, scones and other good quality and good valure food. Either way works. Well worth supporting

Food was yummy and coffee delicious. Dog friendly caffi in Chirk .. loved it and will definitely be back whilst we are in our Motorhome.

As locals to the cafe we popped in on our way shopping for a quick sunday breakfast and now wished we hadnt wasted our money. On the menu it says bacon egg sauage beans & toast = £6. I didnt expect 1 sausage, 1 piece of bacon for this money. All way overcooked and cheap bacon & tasteless cheap sausage. We will vote with our feet and not return. Service was fast and pleasant which is why we came but the breakfasts must sit around waiting under a heater for unsuspecting customers to arrive as it clearly wasnt freshly cooked. So disappointed & not a place i will recommend to others. Sugar dispenser was also very dirty. Kay

Very nice community cafe and a nice place to eat and unwind after a walk. Staff very friendly and food and drinks very reasonable priced.

Walking group were planning a visit during Offas Dyke but noticed you refuse our cash. Will go elsewhere.

Popped in today for some lunch. Bustling atmosphere (good sign!). Service was speedy, friendly and efficient. Nothing too much trouble for the staff here. Food and drinks were excellent, well priced for the portion sizes. Recommend the soup of the day and the katsu curry...

Food is of a good quality and well presented but the price is well above average and feels expensive. The cashless system is not very helpful

Came here two days running it was so good! Home cooked food and great service this place is a joy. Used by locals and tourists alike it is great. It is expensive (but where isnt these days) but woorth it when on holiday.

We called for a breakfast on our way home from holiday. 2 lovely ladies were serving, they were busy but so friendly. Our breakfasts arrived and the bacon was crispy, just how we like it. We particularly like the fact that the tables are well...

Lovely warm and friendly welcome. Popped in for a sandwich and coffee. Sat outside as there was plenty of seating. We had the the Brie, grape and cranberry on brown bread which was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.

Had 2 Full Breakfasts and the Sausages on them were terrible. They were dried up and wrinkly definitely not freshly cooked. I questioned this and asked them if they had been warmed up to which they said “no”. After having had my own cafe business...

This cafe offers great meals, snacks and drinks, with indoor and outdoor seating. It’s also dog friendly, and has a car park. It’s a fantastic place to stop after a walk or after a visit to the nearly aqueduct.

Called for refreshments while working on Glyn Valley Tramway. Helpful & friendly staff and good menu. Will visit again.

On the way home to Yorkshire from Wales I found this cafe on Google directions. The food was all reasonably priced, good portion sizeand well prepared. The pea and ham soup was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt.

This is a fantastic find!! Ham, Egg and Chips were amazing. The toastie of ham and cheese on granary with a side of fries (£7.50) was one of, if not the best, I have ever had. Iced lattes were great too. This is in the...

Whilst my family and I were visiting the area on holiday we came across this wonderful place. The restaurant is very clean and spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. All members of staff were very friendly. We grabbed a drink and small bite to eat,...

Love going here! They've kept me going over the last year! It's clean, airy and a pleasure to visit. I must point out that the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Not to mention the coffee is perfect. The cakes and quiche are the best...

I love this place, great staff, great atmosphere, and brilliant coffee, the Iced latte is my favourite with or without the caramel syrup. Coming close second though is the Strawberry milkshake.

This gorgeous little cafe is staffed by friendly, helpful staff who go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. My hubby accidently ordered me a regular latte instead of decaffeinated (married for ever and I have never drunk caffeine 🙄). They swapped it out immediately...

Visited this cafe twice during our trip on the Llangollen canal. Coffee was great, and also had an amazing breakfast. It was well cooked with high quality ingredients. Service was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Had an amazing meal delivered today, what a treat.... piping hot and beautifully cooked. Amazing value. A whole tasty roast chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes( crispy outside, lovely and fluffy inside) creamy mash, a good selection of veg and really tasty gravy, and the biggest yorkshire...

We had one of the Wednesday Roasts for four, delivered today, and I can definitely recommend it! It was delivered hot, and everything was really tasty, and was a generous size for 4 people. Thank you very much!

No toilets Open & the tables were not being cleaned between customer visits, however in other respects the venue is generally good & well located.

Great service and great tasting coffee . Very enjoyable visit. Young chap serving was very efficient and friendly . Lovely outdoor seating area too. Very clean toilet facilities

Pleasantly surprised to come across this very good cafe. I had a very good homemade sausage roll (with hash browns). If I had room I would have tried a sconeor cake which look delicious.

I visited the Caffi Wylfa today for the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme. When arriving one of the staff was clearing tables, no disinfectant was used to clean these tables. I went inside to order, all the tables inside had not been cleared, as...

Have been here twice since re opening after lockdown for coffee and cake and really nice food , very friendly staff and very professional about hygiene.Really feel safe.

Came across this cafe whilst looking for baby changing facilities in Chirk. It was a great find. Covered tables outside so we could sit with the dog and found they serve the best milkshakes ever. Kids were happy!

Brilliant takeaway idea, 1 paper bag with scone, butter jam and cream. All lovely and fresh. Delicious.

Spacious restaurant with good parking. We called in on the off chance and were very impressed. The place is clean and tidy. They have an extensive menu for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The service was friendly and efficient and the order came very quickly. The portions were large and delicious. They have high chairs for babies too which is a help. It was popular so I guess it can get busy and run out of parking spaces but lots of people appeared to walk there. Do make sure you know where it is as it is just off the main street near the police station. We were really impressed. Point for improvement... they had lovely outdoor seating (weather was not good enough for this) but around the area there was masses of litter, mainly emptied sugar sachets etc. This really needs tidying up! Otherwise I would highly recommend it.

Wylfa means view and this Kittle can is a great addition to he world heritage site overlooking the nearby viaduct, aqueduct and tunnels on the Llangollen canal - Chirk Castle is a short yomp away.The food is basic, sarnies, hot potatoes, pancakes and the like, competently done.

we stopped here for afternoon tea nice surroundings and clean good choice off items but could be more child friendly. would visir again

Had coffee and lunch here last week and both were served quickly and the food was excellent. Most of the staff were very friendly but one young lady who brought us coffee after our lunch slammed the tray on the table and did not bother to take away the lunch dishes.

We used to visit here regularly but the last two visits have just been disappointing.The first time they were serving no food at all,then when we visited on Mother's Day we arrived at 2.31pm and tried to order toast and a scone but were refused due to being 1 minute too late!!I understand them having a cut off point for main meals but for such simple snacks it seems extreme,and way too early to be stopping serving any food.The amount of people they turn away due to their silly serving times is unreal,surely in this climate if there is enough demand they need to be capitalising on it?!Then when we were sat drinking our tea a chef came out from the kitchen and started having a go at a woman sat hear us,he obviously knew her but how unprofessional !Will never go back .

Popped in here after a trip to Chirk Castle and waited well over 20 minutes for 2 sausage baguettes. Not really worth the wait. The cappuccino was also very disappointing. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day?

Great place for a quick warm up after a walk along the aquaduct and space to park for free :) even managed to get in a few geocaches along the way :)

Lovely cafe,staff are always pleasant, the bacon rolls are very nice and cream scones are just lush,well worth a visit after a nice walk along the canal

A little gem hidden away in Chirk, in a perfect location for walks along the Llangollen Canal and the Chirk Aquaduct. The coffee is great and they do a cracking breakfast. Excellent service, although it was quiet when we went.

Stopped off before taking the dogs for a walk while on holiday there. Had two pots of tea and then ended up having a refund because it just tasted like soap, a film of silver on top of the tea, soap residue. The milk jug looked as if it hadn't been washed for a few days and just had milk topped in for every customer. The staff were amazing and so friendly and very happy to help and quick to try and resolve.

but wonderful food and service .. whether it's just coffee or a Cream tea to share great place .. also free parking

Very nice location overlooking the Chirk aquaduct.A pity though that the service was somewhat frustrating. If one orders a snack and a drink it is good to have them arrive at the same time. In my case I ordered a coffe and a toasted teacake, by the time the TT arrived my coffee, had I not drunk it, would have been cold.

We had a brilliant breakfast here. Coffee good, hot chocolate brilliant. Full monte breakfast for me, what a plateful.

Have eaten here a few times now but wasn't a TripAdvisor member at the time.Just been, and once again have had a really delicious light lunch here. I had the coronation chicken sandwich on brown bread and not only was the filling tasty and generously portioned, but the bread was lovely and spongy, which is sometimes hard to find with brown bread. The side salad was also crisp and fresh. The food here never disappoints and this was no exception.

Wonderfully located near the matchless Chirk Aqueduct and close to Chirk Castle. Spacious, welcoming, friendly and efficient staff; lovely menu - try the savoury crepes. .

Wonderful cakes and good value afternoon tea with scones. Outdoor seating area. Very friendly staff.

Would have been good I imagine, but we were refused bacon sandwiches because we were three minutes late and they had to get ready for weight watchers.

Visited Cafe Wylfa half way through a walk with our dog ... Very reasonably priced, 2 latte coffees and a slice of chocolate cake for just under £7. We sat outside as we had our dog with us; plenty of water bowls for dogs, which is great. Coffee was hot and very nice, unfortunately the cake was quite tasteless and very dry. We have been here before and the food is generally excellent, so a bit disappointed today. Overall the service is good and staff friendly. We would visit again, but will be giving the cake a miss :(

I'd have liked to have enjoyed the food and drink advertised by Caffi Wylfa, but I and the rest of my family were refused entry, and rudely so.The advertising card we'd picked up nearby, the café's own web site (http://www.glynwylfa.co.uk/caffi-wylfa/) and the Chirk Village web site (http://www.chirk.com/glynwylfa.html) all declare, in both Welsh and English: ...open seven days a week from 10am-5pm (open later in high season). Sadly the chef/manager makes up his own rules. As we arrived at 4pm he called out: "We're closed." I challenged this, but he insisted. I complained that he had wasted my time and money. He wanted me to take a phone number away with me, but I declined. The opening hours were advertised, he made up the rules as he went along and was rude in enforcing them. He's in the hospitality business and that's not my idea of hospitality, so I shan't trouble him again.I can tell that most people enjoy this place. But it's clear that a few of us experience another side to the Caffi, and in particular its staff. Such a pity.

We always seem to manage to sniff out the good cafes! We had explored the castle, and wanted to walk along the canal a bit. After doing a circular walk, stopped in the cafe for a drink. Wowsers! A fabulous little cafe! Fantastic cake and my other half had a cream tea, (2 big scones, butter, jam and a mountain of fresh whipped cream). Fantastic value, super friendly staff, and a brilliant place! The loos aswell were spotless! If in the area again, will definitely return! Also, as a massive plus, not a great phone signal in Chirk, this place has free Wifi! Fab!9.5/10

There is parking here for the aqueduct but it is worth popping into the cafe, who provide a good selection of drinks and lunches. We went mid afternoon for a coffee (the cappuccino actually tasted like coffee unlike some of the larger chains) and the friendly lady behind the counter managed to persuade us to share a slice of homemade cake. which was delicious. We will certainly visit again if we are in the area. Newly decorated throughout and good toilets!

Lovely cafe but not advisable to sit outside if you order something hot as you get forgotten otherwise nice scones.

Good value for money, pleasant atmosphere. Close to World Heritage Site and when walking on the Canal is the nearest cafe for hot drink and toilet stop.

This is a community run cafe with parking facilities which enable walkers to explore the Chirk and Pontcysyllte aqueducts. We had eaten here before after doing the Chirk to Llangollen canal walk, returning by bus. This time we were passing on the A5 and made the detour as we knew we'd get good food at a reasonable price. I had a bacon bap and my wife had a sausage one. I had masses of nicely cooked bacon in fresh bap and really enjoyed it. My wife had a similar experience. The staff were very friendly and our food arrived in an amazingly quick time. We shall be back!

Had a lovely brunch with my niece. Freshly prepared food in pleasant surroundings. Nice selection of home made cakes. I will be coming back again. good place for walkers and cyclists too.

This cafe is close to the Chirk aquaduct and tunnel and after crossing both we were ready for coffee. Nothing fancy but very pleasant and welcome

Came across the cafe whilst parking to view the Chirk aqueduct. Intended to have a pub lunch but decided to call into the caffi wylfa instead and weren't disappointed. We ordered a toasted sandwich and baked potato both generously sized and well presented and followed it up with a cream tea . Clean and tidy cafe and the toilets were well maintained.

I popped in here for a takeaway coffee and to ask about leaving my car overnight in the car park and then getting a bus to Llangollen and the waitress could not have been more helpful. She gave me detailed directions and was incredibly helpful and friendly. The coffee was good too! There is a great outdoor seating area and it is minutes from the canal path so a great spot to start/end a walk along the canal.

Enjoyed our coffee here. It's modern, very clean and welcoming. There is a good variety of home cooked food on the menu. Well worth a visit.

Working locally, myself and my colleague have just visited this cafe, to be served by the most ignorant, obnoxious little person we have ever come across. I don't know her name but she had short grey, bobbed hair and glasses. Asking "do you make sandwiches to go" , she replied yes, but there is a wait. I asked how long the wait would be As we had to get back to work, and we were told 20 minutes. I ordered two sausage and fried egg baguettes "to go", And two cans of drink. Please note I have mentioned these sandwiches were to go twice during our exchange. While the "lady" was taking our money I told her where we would be sat, and she said she would bring them over as soon as they were ready. I then asked politely if I could have the cans of drink I had already paid for, to be met in a really aggressive tone; "you'll have to wait, I've got things to do" although the cans were right in front of her and within arms reach?. She returned to the counter a little while later, took our drinks from the fridge and slammed them on the counter without saying a word, while me and my colleague stood looking at each other in disbelief at how rude this woman was being. Half an hour passed while we'd sat and finished the drinks she had begrudgingly given us. She then appeared and dropped two plates on the table next to us. Before she rushed off, ignorant to the fact she was not serving pigs with swill, I pointed out politely that the sandwiches were to go, only to be met with her raising her voice: "how can you have a fried egg to go" (Silly me... I hadn't realised eggs had to stay indoors?) I then said, I'm sorry... but I did say twice that they were to go, as we now don't have time to eat in anyway. She then said agressively: "ok, I tell you what, I'll get you two paper bags and you can stuff them in there yourselves, ok". As we stood, again looking at each other in disbelief at this woman's arrogance, she stormed into the kitchen, then came back and dropped two minuscule paper bags that you would put penny sweats in on the table and walked off sarcastically saying "okey dokey?". I am not usually one to complain, but it seemed to me that to this member of staff, everything was too much trouble, and her attitude was all wrong for a person dealing with the public. I honestly wish we had gone elsewhere. The food was absolutely disgusting, and the description of the sausages would have been more honest had it said "cheep frozen netto's own". The egg was like rubber. The "baguette" was the frozen supermarket veriety, and was soked through in greese. What a horrible experience!!

From Chirk Aqueduct and Viaduct we followed the signs to Caffi Wylfa and found this lovely place just two minutes away. It is a social enterprise cafe staffed by volunteers. We enjoyed tea, coffee and a snack and the value for money is fantastic. Smaller portions were available for children. The atmosphere is friendly and we took our time to look at the paintings by a local artist that were on the walls. We walked on to the village centre, a charming place.
