Caffi'r Hen Siop in Gwynedd

I happened to see a great review online last night. As Dinas Mawddwy isn’t far from where we are on holiday, we decided to visit today. Not disappointed!! Lovely ambiance, warm, friendly staff and the food was excellent. We shall return next year!

On our way back to Oxfordshire but in need of caffeine for the long drive. Saw a sign on the main road turned off and found this little gem. Fantastic, quirky little cafe and very friendly staff. Would seek it out again as it’s lovely to put money back into the local community.

What an absolutely lovely cafe! Tucked away off the main road, this is a real hidden gem. Friendly staff, great food and dog friendly. Will definitely visit again. Some lovely walks nearby too.

Lovely place, great coffee, cake and breakfast

The most welcoming coffee shop we have visted in a very long time. Staff we so genuinely friendly and can't do enough for you, sandwiches were lovely and fresh and the dogs even get a sausage, a blanket and treats. A huge thank you for being so dog friendly, not just tolerant ❤️

Fantastic little coffee stop. Very dog friendly, gave her some sausage! Cakes lovely too. Very friendly and welcoming ❤️

We stopped here during our cycle tour and had some amazing cakes. Very friendly!

Lovely cafe with great eggs Benedict. Poached eggs were perfect. Good coffee in a comfy setting. Would highly recommend.

Came across this place by accident. Food was excellent, service quick and staff very friendly. And dog friendly too. What's not to like. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

This is a beautiful warm friendly Tearoom ,cakes are fabulous infact we went back the make day to try it again with a cuppa. Please try The Gyros Chicken ,Ploughman's Lunch and Quiche freshly prepared. Cannot wait for our next visit .

Very nice stop for a coffee. Amazing staff. Very welcoming and a conversation. Coffee was great! I had a flat white definitely would return when passing through again.

So glad to have visited this gem of a place. Taken by a local friend. As others have said, the welcome is very friendly and the food is delicious. I also liked the quirky decor (e.g. 2 Christmas wreaths in August, and the two big fish peering at us from their tank). Between us we enjoyed the Greek style chicken wrap, the Welsh rarebit and the vegetarian risotto. The tea was also of good quality.

Great café! Stumbled upon this place on our way to Snowdonia and was so impressed. Had really good breakfasts and coffees, and the service was amazing. Thank you.

Nothing special or outstanding to warrant a higher marked review. Let down by unwillingness to serve wheat free food or discuss options. I suspect prepared meals are bought in rather than made on the premises.

Lovely cafe with a great menu choice

A wonderful place for a break, delicious food, perfect service, beautiful cafe. Any time again, we love it!

Breakfast and carrot cake was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic, such friendly ladies. Definitely recommend!

So happy to find this place! It is hidden out of the way but well worth diverting from the main road (or further afield!) to go to. Lovely people, lovely food, and perhaps the most dog-friendly place we have visited for ages! When we arrived they greeted our dog first :), offered her a sausage,and then (after checking) brought her a HUGE plate of "leftover" bacon (it must have been 3 big rashers' worth) and a bowl of water. We had a lovely welsh breakfast and took some delicious flapjack away for later. The were quite open in saying they almost prefer dogs to people - which in my view usually means they are the best kind of people! This is one of those places you actively can't wait to get back to. Only shame is that it is so far away from us! But we will still definitely make a point of getting back as soon as we can!

What a fabulous place for lunch! The Welsh Rarebit was divine! Super friendly staff. Nice reasonably priced crafty things in the shop too. We’ll be back 🤗

Great laid back local cafe, visited with two old school friends, all of us on motorcycles. Great cake and beans on toast that helped me after not feeling too chipper.

Great little cafe and shop with lots of trinkets and local art and crafts items for sale. Food was lovely and not what I would have expected. Chicken Gyros were very tasty.

Amazing little quirky cafe with great staff and very friendly atmosphere. I loved looking at the fish while eating my breakfast

Very friendly staff, lovely cafe, and food was excellent. A chance find on the way to our destination. Dog was given a sausage whilst we had our breakfasts.

Excellent food in a cheerful cafe. Wonderful selection of cakes and great freshly made coffees. The staff were friendly and the music was uplifting. The Welsh Rarebit was delicious and the side salad fresh and colourful. The Caffi also sells craftwork and art to support local artists. All in all a top cafe and well worth a visit.

This coffee shop is an absolute delight and well worth a visit. Great food and ambience.

I'll be back. Yes, Arnie must have been about this cafe! Cracking banana and blueberry cake. A friend had a bacon sandwich and said it was the best ever. Great cuppa too.

What a great little find on our trip around Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What a little gem! I would highly recommend Caffi’r Hen Siop, I had just ridden from Lake Vernwy through the valley with dramatic scenery and this ‘oasis’ was waiting for me! Very friendly staff, great cakes and the main menu looks good too. Also dog friendly and the RAF pass by on the Mach Loop. I am definitely going again

What a cracking little cafe, friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely fab little place to eat and drink. Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and accomodating. Eggs benedict was very tasty. A must visit if your ever in dinas mawddwy

The absolute definition of a hidden gem. I look forward to my next trip north and stopping by again.

Great pit stop on the way to Snowdon

Just wonderful little café with the friendliest owners imaginable and super dog-friendly. We had the Welsh rarebit which my husband said was the best thing he’s tasted in quite a while. An utter gem of a place (to use a cliché) but I can’t think of a more apt description xxx

Great cafe tucked away off the main road in Dinas Mawddy. Worth the detour, great selection of home cooked food, cakes. They do a superb afternoon tea. The icing on the cake is they are dog friendly and cater for our pooches with blankets, treats and water.

When I'm in the area, I love to pop in for coffee and breakfast. Coffee is excellent.

We found this beautiful little cafe after seeing a sign on a main road whilst out for a drive and wow! What a beautiful little cafe this is. We were welcomed with a smile and made to feel very welcome. We only had a pot of tea and a bottle of water and two teacakes but everything was delicious, especially the jam that came with the teacakes! The cakes looked amazing. We wish this place was local to us as we would definitely be regulars!

Stunning little cafe, lovely friendly staff with a warm welcome and fantastic atmosphere. Lots of locally produced art for sale which is great to look at, could have stayed all day!

Absolutely brilliant place - warm and welcoming, great choice of seating with tables and chairs and sofas, dogs welcome but unobtrusive, comfortable in every sense of the word....oh and not only was the food fab, the coffee was perfect and lovely and hot. Thank you, this is now my go to place for this particular journey....I will be back!!!

can't fault service and food very friendly highly recommended 👌

Stopped here with 2 muddy dogs this afternoon for a drink and couldn't recommend this place enough! The 2 ladies serving were so lovely and we felt right at home. Very reasonably priced and charming inside. We'll definitely be stopping here again. Diolch!

What a gem of a café..found by accident. We went into the nearby pub, but their kitchen was closing and we didn't want to rush lunch, so discovering this place just down the street was a bonus. Great food, welcoming staff and sofas that face the view, with a range of seating inside and out. Highly recommended. Dog-friendly too.

Very sweet coffee shop in the middle of nowhere and we stopped to service my partner’s coffee addiction. She said the staff were very friendly, coffee was nice but too hot (I’m told the perfect latte is warm but not too hot to drink at least in her opinion).

Lovely tea room. Very friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble. Stayed open for us to have a delicious coffee and cake. Will definitely visit again.

Friendly service and good food. A few seats outside, too.

Lovely place will definitely be back, staff were friendly and welcoming!

Simply divine. After a night in a chilly cabin in the bottom of snowdonia a delicious cooked breakfast (several coffees) and a delicious homemade mocha loaf cake was exactly what we needed. Service was impeccable, lovely little crafty cafe with lovely people. Perfection.

A hidden gem in a beautiful village a must visit

Lovely little cafe, food was delicious, cake was even better. Staff were lovely, will definitely make the effort to go again !

Stopped here by chance and so glad we did! Lovely welcome and great food. Chicken korma was delicious. Also got a couple of slices of chocolate and salted caramel cake to take with us and have to say it was excellent. Will definitely be back on our next visit and would highly recommend

Staying locally and popped in for takeaway coffee. Brought cake to go with. The apple cake best had for a long time. Staff so friendly and welcoming, the area light, airy, clean and so very welcoming. Would definitely recommend if you staying or visiting the area. Just a shame going home tomorrow as closed on a Monday.

Wonderful little tea shop, lovely friendly people who run it, great food and nice atmosphere too.

This cafe is a delight. It has a light, airy, totally relaxed atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming and the food is delicious. Dogs are welcome inside and out. What more could you want 😄

Great people, great food, great everything

Aanrader. Heerlijke plek. Goede koffie en taarten.

Lovely place. Feels very homely. Friday, cake day! Yay!

Well worth a stop for lunch and cake! Very welcoming staff and huge selection of homemade cakes.

Can't fault this little cafe. An absolute gem. The cakes are beyond delicious, all home-made, the coffee was very good and the service was lovely. Very nice ambience with lots of pretty little nick-nacks and things for sale inside. Lovely and cosy, will definitely be back!

Wonderful little cafe with excellent cake and friendly service- a must visit if in the area

Delightful little cafe in a lovely village. Service was speedy and friendly. Excellent spot for eating in between walks.

Très joli café au milieu de nulle part. Beaucoup de choix. Les cakes avaient l’air délicieux. Accueil très amical.

Great welcome. Lovely people and great drinks, cakes and food

A lovely place, food good and very friendly and helpful.

Lovely little cafe ,food was lovely and the staff were very helpful and very friendly.and we could take our little doggie in .thank you and see you again.

Food was amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better breakfast. Will come again if in the area.

Cutest Cafe. Great food. Bonus was a sunny day and 10 tornado keys flying over. Highly recommend

Gorgeous little cafe! With friendly staff and the most delicious breakfast & scones. Definitely worth a visit.

Don't often stumble into this lovely little village but glad we did today. Lovely friendly little place, great food at very reasonable price. Easy to bypass DM but will certainly take this little detour again

A hidden gem! Such a lovely place. Cosy, friendly and a fantastic selection of cakes and savouries. We will be back!!

Brilliant little place,great,friendly staff. Cool chilled playlist. Beautiful sausage and egg ciabatta and flat white for my breakfast. A must visit 👌

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service.

Well, that was a bit disappointing. A flat white is definitely different. The scones were terrible too. We could hardly eat them. The people were nice, but that was it.

Lovely food and excellent service

We moved nearby just a couple of weeks ago and already I find myself looking forward to Thursday - cake day! This is a brilliantly friendly local Caffi with a ridiculously delicious selection of cakes (somehow they all seem to get eaten!) Today I had a panini, a cuppa, a bit of a chat, and took a slab of plum crumble cake home for later. Feeling very lucky to have this as my local. Thanks Caffi! 🙂

Lovely friendly welcome good selection of food and drinks available new owners same excellent quality we will be back soon

An absolute gem. Lovely hospitality and lovely cup of tea. Great play list!!!!! Definitely worth veering off A470 for coffee, lunch or tea. Thank you 😊

Perfect place for a delicious lunch and cake.

Lovely lunches, top service and the best Victoria sponge!

Such a cozy atmosphere and really friendly place to stop for lovely cake and coffee.

Great place lovely good, very friendly staff. Good place to stop when your on a walk.

The most comfortable, likeable and enchanting place to relax over tea and cake. No view but hospitality all the way

Well worth a visit, food great value, staff cannot do eoungh its so relaxing it's a must.

Awesome cakes, fantastic service, great prices.

Lovely little cafe, out the way hidden in the valley. Most attentive staff and lovely coffee and cakes. Will almost certainly be calling in again on our way past

Very friendly place with a relaxed atmosphere. Tea and cake were lovely!

I came here after a long hike to have a quick bite to eat before driving home. I had coffee and a tea cake and they tasted fantastic. This is a beautiful area and I am sure I will be back and will came here as well.

Absolutely lovely, for a light meal, a sweet, or a savory. A small but well-curated array of local crafts as well, and extraordinarily friendly and helpful proprietors.

It was a rainy day and we had a wet little dog with us...we were welcomed with smiles and dog biscuits for Daisy doodle! The food was lovely and people at the cafe were so lovely. I will go back when next in the area and would highly recommend 👌. Thank you!

Lovely hidden gem in the most beautiful little valley in Wales. Sandwiches were delicious, and the cookies were unreal.

Absolutely fantastic little gem 💕 Cherry pie is delicious and staff super friendly. Enjoyed it very much!

Absolutely a Gem of a place food was excellent atmosphere was excellent staff are delightful price was really good

Lovely and welcoming didn’t want to leave. Nothing too much trouble very accommodating

Great welcoming atmosphere, friendly ladies serving. Excellent flat white coffees and carrot cake enjoyed...

Wat een enige plek, leuke shop met goede Latte en geweldige Tropical Line Gin Cheesecake with purple flowers. So good!

The food was amazing and the service was even better highly recommend

Such a lovely little cafe, kind service and good food

What an amazing place. The staff where 100% accommodating to a group of 8 of us and were so patient. Excellent service and I would recommend to visit this place to everyone.

The food is lovely and so are the wonderful ladies who work here. Thank you so much for the best brunch we have all had in years! The perfect start to our Welsh holiday! X

A beautiful place to stop for breakfast

Lovely hosts, nice food and reasonable prices. Very relaxed.
