Cellb Caffi Bar in Gwynedd - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just amazing! Best Pizza's I've had since Italy. Atmosphere is very relaxing and cool and staff are super helpfull. Also amazing value for money. I'll be back!

Absolutely cracking atmosphere...couldn't get enough of their kiln pizzazz, and loved the fact that it's smack bang in the centre of town. Heard there's some good gigs coming up as well....looking forward to them too. Xx

We went to the cinema here twice. We were staying in Borth-y-Gest and it’s the nearest cinema to Porthmadog area (20 minutes drive up the Vale of Ffestiniog). We watched a matinee upstairs (Screen 2) which was wonderful and informal with sofas and tables - the kids loved the vibe. We watched ‘Jungle Cruise’ and it was a lovely family atmosphere. Then we watched ‘Suicide Squad’ on screen 1 downstairs (with traditional style cinema seats - tons of legroom, very comfortable). It’s superb value for money - cinema tickets and drinks and snacks are really reasonably priced. People need to use this place! It’s great.

CellB, aptly named as its in a converted Police Station above the hostel. Small but fun relaxed bar - though the barman needs re-training. Asked for a Single Malt whisky, and was offered 'Jack Daniels'.......... Me thinks not! Still, eventually got the drink sorted, and was surprised at the cheap price. Lots of comfy seating.

Very chill place to hang out..... amazing wine list and very cool decor. We love the food and the atmosphere.... it's way more than just a bar!

We discovered it on our first evening there and we visited it every night during our stay. It is placed on a side street so it is very quiet, we really enjoyed having a beer on the terrace. The customer service is very good and the locals very friendly, they just come and introduce themselves.

Come here sometimes for the Reggae nights, I got in to Reggae after watching Dragon’s Den when Levi Roots came up the stairs singing that ‘Reggae Reggae sauce’ song and ever since that I’ve been hooked on Reggae and the sauce.

Chance find looking for a good place to eat. Great bar , great live music that’s not louder than conversation ... But the Welsh Black Beef Burger is to die for 👌 Great beer, great ambiance in a great venue. Def on a return visit 👍👍

The restaurant, the bar, the cinema and the hostel are ALL absolutely gorgeous!!! We had the best night ever and the food and service was MORE than Five stars!!! This is a very special place and the decor is cool, original and luxurious.

Popped in for a spot of lunch whilst waiting to view a property near by. We had an hour to kill so time on our hands for a leisurely lunch(just as well we had!) We asked to see the menu but was told there was just one, and the previous clients to arrive we’re perusing that one. Eventually we got to look at the menu and duly began to make our order. I ordered a cheese toastie only to be told that they hadn’t ordered any bread today(this was at lunch time remember!) We eventually settled on our choice and made our order. Two panini’s and a baked potato with cheese. The girl behind the bar kept making the statement that “it’s a bit hectic today” however beside our party of three there were two mothers with 4 children. We waited for over 50 minutes for our order, and when it did eventually arrive, the waitress repeated the same excuse about things being hectic. The food was very disappointing both aesthetically and in flavour. The baked potato was small and insipid with the cheese not even added but left on a side dish. The door to the gentleman’s toilet was wedged open meaning that the urinals were in full view to women and girls heading to the ladies. The gents toilets were totally devoid of soap or any dispenser to wash ones hands, and there was a grubby small hand towel to dry your hands. All in all a very disappointing visit to an establishment that has potential to serve the many visitors to this historic town. My advice is do not waste time visiting this place

Staff friendly and welcoming. Mix of local people and visitors use the bar and restaurant. Friendly atmosphere

The girl at the bar taking food orders was lovely, very friendly and down to earth. Food itself was good standard, only a small menu and the only vege option had run out. I had the blackened salmon which was really tasty but felt a bit dry and plain with the rice, needed a sauce or something. Husband has the burger which he loved. Kids menu was great! The setting was very interesting too, loved the quirkiness of it. I think for food options in the evening in this town, this is the best.

Very good meal. Great value for money ! Nice atmosphere and service. A happy moment with friends le family to spend here.

We rang and booked a table for 8.30pm on a Friday night, arrived on time and went up to the bar however the staff were busy serving cocktails which took about 10 minutes. Eventually we got the attention of the staff and asked about the menu and whether it would be OK to sit outside as it was a warm evening and they agreed it was no problem. The family then took a seat outside and decided what they wanted by now it was 8.50pm I then came back in to order and was then told the kitchen was closing at 9.00 so I could not order, then queried this as it had not been mentioned when booking or when asking about going outside so grudgingly the barman went and asked the Chef and came back saying only the curry was left! At this so did we. It was possibly the worst service I have ever come across in any restaurant or pub.

had trouble finding food after 2pm in this villiage but we were very glad when we seen a sign for this. very helpful staff and big portions of food which was welcome.

Dropped in here for drinks on a couple of occasions while staying nearby. An excellent example of how to take a historical building and modernise it while remaining sympathetic to the original design. Of course it helps that the staff were very pleasant and helpful too. If you are in the town definitely stop here for a drink at the very least.

Huge thank you to Rhys, Nia and the Cellb team for making my 60th birthday dinner so special. The food and service (for a party of 17) was first class and Rhys and Nia couldn't have been more helpful and flexible with the planning, even advising me on movies to run from 60 years ago and getting the whole thing set up. My friends and family from far and wide all said what a great evening it was and I enjoyed myself enormously. Can't wait to have my 70th at Cellb too!

Jeden z klimatycznych miejsc w którym spędziłam miło czas. Bardzo miła obsługa, super miejsce z bardzo fajnym wnętrzem. Pub mieści się w sali w której kiedyś wydawano wyroki sądowe. Polecam każdemu kto trafi do Blaenau Ffestiniog

We tried to have dinner here two nights in a row only to be greeted by some of the worst cases of service you could imagine all wrapped up in a smile. The first night we arrived at the restaurant at 8:30 ordered drinks at...

Visiting the area to do some adventure stuff with a friend and found this place for dinner. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Plenty of veggie and vegan options, good selection of drinks. Very nice indeed and would definitely return if I’m ever in...

great place great staff - best mocha this side of the date line. no, best mocha either side of the date line.

Freshly made soup, fish and burgers for dinner in this old church location made this night special. Fantastic friendly service. Tasty food.

Went to see a film here and ended up eating and drinking in the restaurant and bar. The food was delicious - lamb burgers, beef burgers and salads all tried and shared by our group. The staff were lovely - friendly, warm and welcoming. The...

Cell B is an interesting restaurant with a small menu but excellent food. It was recommended to us but there appeared to be little else available in the town. However, it is well worth a visit. Friendly welcome.

Amazing customer service, beautiful friendly owners... such a clean hostel and the beds were so comfortable, best place in village!bar,cinema and hostel couldn't ask for more... sure to be back!

We came here on a Sunday morning around 9.30am as it was one of the only places in town open at that point and we are very glad we came! The place is very nice, friendly staff, had a log fire going in the corner and served us some delicious food. Would highly recommend this place if you need somewhere to eat.

We stayed here while at fn6 what a find !!! Brilliant creative place, great vision. Clean well done friendly all you could which for !! Thanks for a great stay

Following good reviews went there on a Sunday evening during visit to the area. Initial impressions very positive..so different and quirky. .staff friendly..lovely seating areas to relax whilst choosing from menu...

On basis of previous reviews we had high hopes. Initial view was positive, great atmosphere, welcoming and a real find. Ordered food, three choices unavailable, but no problem we ordered two sea bass, one salmon and one pheasant. Pheasant was so over cooked it could have been any old bird, all the fish was cooked to point of dehydration. The fried potatoes on the menu for the salmon dish were substituted with five and a half over cooked chips without explanation or discussion. The food and plates were cold and the size of the portions would have met criteria for a starter. And that was for all three different dishes. Fortunately the starter of olives was very good, or we would have been heading for the Chinese takeaway! Would not be recommending.

We visited Blaenau on a Sunday, pretty much everything was closed up, but we had already decided to find Cellb because we knew about the cinema and wanted to visit later in the week. The cafe was an added bonus. It's really quirky, with unique decoration and furnishing, the main room is used as an events area. The food was gorgeous the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. We liked it so much we went back again. My little boy enjoyed the kids menu. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

We were struggling to find somewhere to eat on a Sunday evening and stumbled upon this place accidently, but we were so happy we did. The staff were really lovely and the whole place is just a cool concept. We were completely taken aback by how awesome inside was. The food was incredible I had the lasagne which was beautiful and my partner had a burger which was also super tasty. The chips were the chunkiest we've ever seen. Really awesome place, so happy we found it.

What a great place service good staff young and very friendly and helpful.Food was good you must try the sea bass or the lamb burger and my daughter loved the lasagna.Drinks where a fair price.Ligthing bit dim found menu hard to read the place itself it not well sign posted we found it by accident look out the lilly coffe sign on the side of the building down a side street there a big sign to show where there are there would he a lot more businesse but it was busy p.s. The toilets are so diffent need to checked out!!

looks a bit strange from outside and the young chap who served us was a little slow with menus but give it a go, food was fab!

This bar, resturant, cinema and hostel is absolutely excellent. We went there by accident as the pub in the High Street was not selling food at lunchtime so they suggested this place. The place was very interesting inside and well furnished with some antique / querky items. A wide choice of food. Excellent quality and quantity.The custimer service is also excellent.Prices all very reasonable.This place from the outside side looks very boring, as an ex police station and Court house, but is fantastic inside.It's away from the main High Street but is not to far4 away (3 minute walk) so strongly suggest you try it out.

Our third time visiting cellb now and we've never been disappointed, so much so that we had our friends stag do here. Great food, friendly staff and engaging locals in a superb location for adventure. Can't recommend enough!

I took the current wife here for a birthday meal as we wanted somewhere less formal and relaxed. The food was excellent, very pleasant staff and reasonable prices. Great ambience and pleasant evening.

We had a lovely meal - excellent value and interesting food and surroundings. Deserves to be well-known by the travelling public - we only found it because a local passer-by pointed us in the right direction!

Came for a meal before seeing a film in the cinema.Service was very good, staff helped us chose our dishes. Great seeing an old building being recycled, lots of the orignial features have been left and staff were happy to talk about the buildings history with us. Overall ambience was good.Food was tasty and well presented - would definately return.

Breakfast was good but the coffee was the best I've had in Wales so far! Service was good and it is very dog friendly.

Really nice atmosphere and interior. We just came for few pints and was surprised with low prices and nice staff. Things to improve - maybe is to add more sorts of ale. As we came for draft ale it was only 2 choices + cold Guinness. Another point is that for the loo you have to come in nearby hostel. And somehow on my turn the doors were closed. It wasn't big problem since we were leaving.

This was a hidden gem (really hidden). The place was very difficult to find. The building is hidden down a side street, and the restaurant is through 1 of 4 doors, up a flight of stairs, to the left. The service was great, everyone was very chatty and worked quickly.The food was amazing, I had the lamb burger and my friend had the lamb burger. The burgers were so good that they didn't need additional sauce, etc. It came with really chunky chips and a salad, which were also great.The room we ate in was the old courtroom (the building is in the old police station), and the furniture was really interesting and eclectic, but still practical.I would recommend anyone in the area try out this place because it's a gem.

Lovely meal, enthusiastic & friendly staff and reasonable price .... nice history to the building too .... originally a police stun and court house

The first thing to say is that I applaud the owners for what they are trying to achieve here. This is a cafe, bar, restaurant, cinema, music venue and community hub all rolled into one and is probably just what Blaenau needs.We came to Cellb on a strong recommendation from a local and I can see why but our experience didn't match our expectations. However, we had timed it badly as the chef had walked out that day and I applaud the other staff for soldiering on with smiles on their faces.The food that was served was hit and miss but I honestly think they were doing the best they could in unfortunate circumstances. My heart wants to give this place a good review but my head says I can't.However I wish them the best of luck going forward because the town needs this establishment to be a success.

Called in by chance given a lovely warm welcome What great character the place has and the food and service was outstanding , music was canny too

I loved my Roast dinner I had chicken dinner very tasty and very helpful and the service was good and quickly Very helpful and very kind

Checked in here looking for a drink, they couldnt accommodate us but it was busy and everyone was have a quiet drink with their friends.

We came here for tea on our weekend away. Very nice and reasonably priced food. The deluxe white hot chocolate is to die for. Nicest hot chocolate I have ever had.

Good atmosphere and excellent food.Friendly staff and efficient service. Recommend booking as they were very busy at the weekend. Will definitely return!

Visited this morning. You wouldn't know was there from the high street but well worth a visit. Decor is comfy but quirky. Food was really good particularly kids meals. Would visit again.

Brilliant quirky place. Lovely little cinema with good quality sound and seats and full size screen. Restaurant upstairs has very efficient and friendly staff serving excellent food and drink in very comfortable surroundings. Cellb also has accommodation which I've not tried but if it's anything like the rest of it would be well worth a visit!

Came for dinner at high recommendation of our B&B hosts and were not disappointed! Small but lovely atmosphere, with cosy fire warming us after a long hike. Were fine having our well behaved dog join us for the evening. Absolutely gorgeous food, beautifully cooked and served! Lovely staff too, very friendly and helpful!!

We were in town on the hunt for a Sunday roast dinner. We were advised by locals to go to cellb. It's hidden out of view of the high St. You turn up past the pharmacy and there it is. Upstairs we were greeted with a warm Welsh welcome and a heart warming log burning stove (it was very cold outside) we both had a beef dinner. It was perfectly cooked and presented. The gravy especially was to die for , as was the sweet red cabbage. We will certainly go back again. Great service. Lovely Welsh speaking staff. Diolch yn fawr iawn cell xx

We really lucked out here! You'd never see this place passing through but its worth a visit. Its a small cinema and a great restaurant above it. We didn't make it to the cinema as the weather was good for our trip. But after Zipworld we stumbled across this gem and it was perfect for two families to take refuge, relax, have some fantastic food and dessert!The menu is limited but is well thought through. Kids menu was really good and they loved it! I had the burger and my husband had the steak which were top draw!We will defiantly return next year and try out the cinema too!

Recommended by our B&B hosts as somewhere to eat and also possibly catch a film!Slightly tricky to find but worth it. There is a small cinema downstairs with a cavernous bar and eatery above. Menu is simple but well cooked and presented. Wine list extremely short but we had a good Rioja.We arrived at 8pm in mid-October unbooked but unfortunately too late to catch the start of the film. Had two course meal with wine and coffee for less than £50.Blaenau Ffestiniogg does not have many eating places and two of them were already closed for the winter but this one did the business.

A group of friends and I stumbled across Cellb Caffi Bar by accident over the weekend, while looking for somewhere to eat. It is tucked off the High Street but well worth looking out for. It's a fantastic old building (the former court house?) which has been sensitively refurbished to create a wonderfully 'arthouse' space for the bar and restaurant. We sat in the larger hall, which the waitress told us was also used for live music. I can imagine it would be a great venue to listen to music here. The tables in the bar area were full when we arrived, which is a testament to its popularity. The lighting was soft and low, with candles to create a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. The menu was small but well thought out, with plenty to choose from. The staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us some of the history of the building. The service was excellent, although they need a bit more practice on splitting the bill. Downstairs, below the restaurant/bar, is the cinema. We didn't get a chance to see the cinema, but if it is anything like the rest of the building, I bet its a great place to see a film. All-in-all, I'd recommend coming here. We'll certainly keep it in mind next time we come to this part of Wales. Thanks guys!

My brother lives in Blaenau Ffestiniog and had told me about this place, so this weekend we took the opportunity of going here while visiting him. Unfortunately we didn't have time to see a film in the cinema which I gather is also great, but we called in on Saturday evening for food and drinks. The menu is fairly simple, five mains with two veggie options, but it was all lovely food. I had a juicy well-cooked burger which was very tasty! We ate in the room off the main bar which appears to be the old courtroom and was an amazing space, gently lit with fantastic natural wood tables. The staff were all very friendly, and we had drinks afterwards in a comfy seating area.Everything was so good we went back the following day for Sunday lunch, which we all agreed was the best Sunday dinner we'd had in a while. Cellb is a fantastic addition to the town, I'd recommended anyone to seek it out if staying in the area!My brother says the only negative is a lack of local beer, but there's an Oktoberfest this weekend so maybe they will try some they fancy selling!

What a fabulous place, modern with rustic feel, the converted old court/jail. . Police station. Plenty of open spaces, warm friendly atmosphere. . Started the morning with bacon barm and hot coffee, lunch was a selection of pastries and sandwiches, pasta dishes and more. Recomend the venue for parties, work meetings, conferences or jut fine dinning.

Cosy little restaurant/bar lots to offer .....Beautiful interior, great music and ambience and really good food. A top quality burger! Been here twice now and loved the friendly laid back feel it has with a modern twist! I'm sure this place would be fantastic as a live music venue and would have loved to have seen some bearing in mind it has a stage in its main room upstairs. Cosy log burner and sofas to chill I'm really pleased we found this little gem just off the high street!Perfect in every way.....

Super sympa. Repas plaisant et original dans une atmosphère chaleureuse. Ce lieu est une association culturelle d'être un resto. Le lieu de vie du village.

The Best Quality burger I have ever tasted ,generous portion cooked to Perfection ,Very impressed everything was Perfect worth a visit

Not on the beaten track, but tucked away in a quiet residential area, this place is a real find. Located in the old police station with a cinema on the ground floor this first floor restaurant is situated in the old court room and serves some excellent food, We dined here, mid week, at the end of August 2016 and although it was a rather quiet night the service was excellent. The food was wonderful, a sure sign of quality ingredients well prepared and presented. My gammon steak was a real treat, thick and full of flavor, my wife was equally impressed with the home made burger puddings were again a delight. All four of us had nothing but praise for this restaurant and are already looking forward to a return visit in the very near future. Well worth a visit, and there is free off road parking at rear as well.

If you travel to Blaennau Ffestiniog on the train walk a bit further up and off the high street for a vibey, warm and welcoming cafe. Cellb has a cinema as well, which alternates showing a kiddie and grownup movie which is great for those very wet Welsh days. There's also a restaurant serving tapas and other nibbles and a bar when you need a decent place for a glass of wine.

What a lovely find. Super atmosphere and very tasty lunch. Comfy sofas lots of room and log fire, which was needed on this cold rainy day.

I have coffee here often and it is always excellent. I've also seen the BFG in their cinema which was also excellent. I've eaten there at lunch time and in the evening and on both occasions the food was fresh, beautifully presented and tasty! The staff are always friendly. The whole place has a brilliant atmosphere and really worth a visit

We happened on Cellb- seeing an independent film in their week old cinema and had a coffee one day and a drink the next day at the bar. Great staff, and such a lovely atmosphere. This place needs heavier marketing - its fantastic.

Today after a nice steam train journey to Ffestiniog, we had a rest at the brand new Cellb. The warm welcome and the caribian music was like sunshine byside the foggy and weht weather outside. The lunch was delicious and furniture and decoration of the establishment was welcoming. We had a superb soup of the day and a very unique Wels Tapas.

To find this place in this little village was awesome. The atmosphere is chilled and relax, with a fire place to warm you up. The food was also really good, and the freshly bake bread was amazing! I totally recommend this place if you want just a drink, to chill out or if you want to have a great meal! I have no doubt that everyone would enjoy this place.

I contacted Rhys at Cellb because I needed somewhere for a large group of people to come for drinks and food before some more outdoor activities. He could not have been more accommodating! Cellb is a beautiful little place, tucked away on the backstreets of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Didn't really expect there to also be a beautiful hall attached to the bar where apparently Julian Marley opened it and some great reggae is played! Who'd've thought it. That's not why we were there though... the drinks were excellent, the service fast and smiley and the food was wonderful! Welsh tapas is a great little idea, particularly loved the faggots. All very reasonably priced.Many thanks Rhys and the staff, hope to return next time I'm in the area. :)

These guys offer a first rate service. Unique, layed back vibe yet super sorted and professional all at the same time! Fresh home cooked food- full of flavour and a good range of cocktails. They took great care in meeting everyone's dietry requirements and had tapas out on the tables for us when we arrivedA great place to have a party, and I loved the performance space. Definitely a good music venue too. They also really kindly let us play a short suprise film on their top quality projector, which was a complete bonus and more than I expected!Infact CellB is many many wonderful things all rolled into one. Good on them for working so hard to create such a happening place and thanks for giving my friends such a wonderful evening! Good luck with the bunkhouse. We'd all come back and stay:) definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Blaneau.

The staff were friendly and approachable. The bar itself was quirky and delightful. the decor was romantic and funky. I would have liked to have visited the onsite cinema.

Hoped to eat at at Callb but no food available on the Saturday night we were there. It opened at 7pm so we popped in for a drink. Super friendly staff, great prices and no complaints about the drinks. It's got so much potential as a former police station and when it's fully converted for accomodation it'll be a great place to stay. Would love to see one of the DJ night or live bands in the former magistrates' court - it's a great space for partying.

Lovely food at a reasonable price. The place was really clean and staff were friendly I would definitely return

Great concept, funky art house style cafe/bar/venue. Stopped with dog and 2 children for coffee, Icecream and tea cakes. Lovely homemade jam. Coffee bit weak! This is the only contemporary place to relax in B F as far as we could see. artur stiniog needs more!

We visited here on a midweek lunchtime, having been on the Ffestiniog Railway, planned to have a quick lunch and then catch the train back. We sat outside as we had our dog with us, but going upstairs to order, the inside of the cafe looked really attractive. The menu is simple - burgers, sandwiches, jacket potatoes - just what we were looking for. Perhaps it was because we didn't have all day, but we did feel the service was very slow. We ordered at the counter and it then took over 35 minutes for our food to arrive (1 sandwich, one jacket potato & salad and 1 kids meal) despite there only being one other small group in the place. Wouldn't like to be there when it's busy!The food was fine, but it would have been nice to be offered some basics: any sort of dressing for the salad, ketchup for the chips, butter for the jacket potato, or even better if these arrived with being asked for.As it was we only just had time to eat up and get out.So nice place, but could make some improvements with the service

Cellb Cafe-Bar with its European Brasserie vibe & convivial approach to dining & drinking is by far the closest trendyest in Town!The art center has City vibe but with a unique twist of Welshculture!All the staff ar local welsh spoken young people who shine in providing local knowledge on the area & whats cool in blaenau ffestiniog.Its menu boasts full local produce - the only place in town serving fresh hand made food and local ingridients.Cellb Cafe-bar is Funky-arthouse-boutique-chic and truly is one of a kind!

sure where to start as I never write reveiws, but fron entry to exit this was a great experience, the suprising "off key" setting is an old police station tucked behind the main street in a quaint welsh style mews, We all had starters mains & a 2 out of the 4 had desserts, all had lagers, and 4 bottles of wine we had change out of £120, and we're decent drinkers too!, I highly recommend this for couples and groups of friends its soo chilled without being slack, staff and owners we just class and so attentive, the only crime here is that we had to leave!, a great place to spend you're hard earned swag.

What a welcome! Our group of 10 and a dog were served in a fantastic room where we were served with delicious food and some background to the building and how it had evolved. Thank you so much- the only place to accommodate us on a rather dull drizzly day.

I used to love the food here but they couldn't keep the staff... It is shame it is now a pop up version... Bring back proper food!

This place is really informal but not scruffy - as a lone diner it was good to have a selection of books to look at. I had the steak, which was tasty though not the tenderest I've had - but it came with salad, chips and four different vegetables which was great value. A really relaxed place and it feels like home cooking in the best sense.

This is a community enterprise where you can get an excellent cup of coffee and a chat with local people - they do sell cakes etc.and there is a bar.

Food was fresh and very tasty. Portion size was okay, could have been a bit more... Friendly staff was not too annoyed by our children running around in the side room. Recommend!

Really impressive local effort in a beautifully restored building. Obviously working very hard to give employment to the area. Very friendly and hard working staff. Good food - though not the most tender steak I've ever had. Try the lamb!

A real find. Based around an art space. A real change from the usual tea rooms and cafes,this place would not look out of place in a major town. Staff are ultra friendly and attentive. Food is basic,but home made and done simply but excellent value.

We arrived on the Ffestiniog steam train determined to find Cell B for lunch. We had telephoned to book a table but had been unable to understand the answer phone message in Welsh, so decided to take pot luck. It was worth tracking down! It was a very hot day and we were able to have lunch under a shady umbrella in the garden. The staff were absolutely delightful and the food was delicious. The building ,an old Police Station , was quirky and very well converted to its current use. The only downside is that the indoor seating can only be reached by a flight of steep stairs and as one of our party has mobility difficulties, we would not have been able to enjoy Cell B's hospitality if a table in the garden had not been available - which would have been a great shame. Seeing Blaenau in the sunshine was a wonderful and novel experience too!

We were impressed by the overall quality of Cellb for such a small town up in remote Blaenau Ffestiniog. The food was homely rather than refined, but very tasty and the service was very pleasant. You eat in a school hall type room with a stage at one end and a model steam engine at the other. As a vegetarian I only had one option to go for but thankfully it was well done. My gluten free girlfriend was hosted sensitively.

As has been said-a real surprise-quirky, great atmosphere, fab Sunday roast, cocktails pretty good too! Highly recommended.

The first night of our trip to Wales and we hit gold or rather slate. This place is in the old County Police building, but the welcome couldn't have been warmer. Delicious vegetable lasagne, great chips and a guided tour! Thanks Caryl.

A cool, modern, laid back venue with great food and friendly staff in quirky surroundings. We had a lovely lunch here in a large group and felt very welcome. I will definitely be back next time i am in the area.

I visited this cafe as part of a large group this weekend and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The food was absolutely amazing and the place itself is gorgeous, but the best thing about Cellb is the service. The waitress we had was absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough for us; we got a little tour of the cells as others have mentioned, but she was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our meal and made us some fabulous cocktails too! A lovely little hidden gem that I would definitely go back to every time I'm in this area.

We were taken here for a meal as a thank you from some friends who had been staying with us,and although we live in Blaenau this was the first time we had eaten here. The service from the staff was excellent and very attentive ,whilst waiting for the first course we were invited to view the old court room and found the information given very interesting. The food was very good,well presented , tasty and good portions. The atmosphere was warm and cosy with the log stove working but with a contemporary feel.

My husband and I have been staying for a few days in Port Meirion and took the train to Blainau Ffestiniog. It was a lovely trip and we stayed for a few hours. After a lovely walk out of town and back along a rural footpath we started looking for a nice place to have lunch. By chance we saw the sign board on the street advertising CellB. We thoroughly recommend it. It was warm and welcoming and the food was so tasty. Lovely friendly staff.

Great little place and so refreshing to have a contemporary bar/brasserie in the area. Wish the owners every success! The food was great but if there is a downside it was to long coming. Speed up the food delivery and I will be back again and again!

This restaurant, situated in the old police station in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, is fast becoming a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Unfortunately, only open at weekends during winter months for evening meals, but refreshments available during weekdays. CellB is well-run by local young entrepreneur, and the venture deserves all the success that is forthcoming. Have visited with my wife and friends a few times since it's opening, and have not been disappointed once. Food served using fresh local meat and produce, and the local-born chef deserves much credit for the quality of food served. The steak dishes are particularly good, and cooked exactly as the diner requires every time. Service by the local, staff very attentive and friendly at all times. Lovely Welsh atmosphere, with most of the guests, and all staff bilingual. One small piece of criticism: As Welsh-speakers, in this most Welsh-speaking town in the world, we would appreciate some Welsh music in the background, rather than the boring, tedious selection offered. But make an effort to visit. You won't regret it!

OK the menu isn't extensive, and the drinks are limited... but this place has a pleasant enough atmosphere and is "different" The food we had took an eternity to arrive (10:00pm) but when it did it was quite nice - and good value. Some interesting events take place here too - so keep a look out for whats on!

A friend and myself were staying outside Blaenau Ffestiniog in the Snowdonia National Park. We walked into Blaenau and found a traditional Welsh-speaking town (80%) 'on the up' that deserves more than a quick station stop on the steam train. We found Cellb and were hugely impressed by the place. It is to the back of the main street in the old court building and the unsuspecting person may not know what lies awaiting inside: up some stairs into a very welcoming cafe/ bar/ bistro where the manager greeted us in Welsh and could not have been more friendly. We ordered German Bock beers and Welsh Black Beef Burgers (delicious) with hand-cut chips, and were introduced to a really interesting and friendly couple at the next table, a local photographer and a framer. We felt included as they remembered characters and incidents from the town's culturally rich slate mining past. Some young people came in for a drink also, the music was reggae and some cool jazz; all in all a great place and a very laid-back and friendly atmosphere.

Cellb is tucked away in a residential street behind the main road through Blaenau Ffestiniog. The building used to be the police station and courthouse, and has been converted into an arts centre and venue for locals and visitors alike.By day,you'll find a cafe, serving breakfast, lunch and coffees. On weekend evenings, the cafe becomes a lovely little bistro.We shared a fantastic garlic bread with mozzarella cheese and bowl of olives as a starter - both were delicious. For my main course, I enjoyed a lovely goat's cheese salad, with onion marmalade and roasted cherry tomatoes - full of flavour and recommended. My husband ordered a Welsh Black Beef burger with cheese, chips and salad, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We shared a lovely sticky toffee pudding which was served with honeycomb ice cream - I wish I'd ordered my own!They had a great selection of bottled beers to choose from, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I'd recommend it if you're in the Blaenau Ffestiniog area.

There was great jazz music while we ate. Nice menu and food well presented. Very friendly staff and the place has been really nicely done up to give it a lot of style.

Cellb is a lovely place to go for a romantic meal, family dinner or just a casual drink - the place has a great atmosphere, the staff are genuine and friendly. Would recommend to anyone, especially for Sunday lunch.

nothing not to dislike!!! the food is lovely great staff and friendly and homely atmosphere. turn up towards park square from the junction next to the chemist

Great place to chill by day, have some well-prepared food, and then enjoy great music or other events at night. This is the center of the new Blaenau.
