Domu in Gwynedd

My favorite cafe in Bangor, the service is excellent and the soups and coffees are to die for.

Well the mushroom soup was absolutly delicious. Like i remember from my grany in Czech. Bread could be better but can’t complain

Just phenomenal…vegan cakes, amazing non sugar hot chocolate, cool decor and class video playlist…what a find 😍

This meat eater has rarely had better food than at this lovely cafe. The decaf coffee was so good I bought a bag to take home. The delicious soup was a meal in itself. We couldn’t fit a cake in as we were so full but took two home so not to miss out! I hope to visit again when in the area.

Beautiful food, lovely staff and calm atmosphere. Perfect for those who want proper homemade food that tastes divine. Coffee was spot on. Genuinely some of the nicest food I have had 😊

The food, music, drinks, and people are all absolutely lovely. My favourite accidental find in Bangor. I didn't realise Dale used to be a member of the Smiths either, until I came here to leave a positive review.

We had two coffees, two soups, a cake and a pastry. Everything was amazing and tasted home made, especially the cake. It felt very homely and welcoming inside and we will be definitely returning soon!

So pleased to find this lovely place. The owners are really friendly and the pumpkin soup was the best I've ever tasted. Fab homemade bread too.

Superb place! Lovely good quality coffee and food!

This is a great place for food and coffee. This is the second time I have visited Bangor and I always go here. The owners are really welcoming and there is a lovely atmosphere. Much better than the chain coffee shops. I had a piece of homemade carrot cake, which was delicious. The coffee is hand blended and is amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Food excellent. When visiting my son in Bango, lunch at Domu is always worth a visit. Thanks Stuart

Best home-made cakes. Zero waste policy so food cooked in small batches.

If the food is an amazing as the coffee & hot chocolate, it must be scrumptious!!! My wife enjoyed her decaf cappuccino & I had the best pure cacao lions mane oat milk drink ever & exactly what I needed. We were warmly welcomed & offered all that was available (we came in a bit late & they’d been busy). Highly recommended!

Popped in for a quick lunch and will definitely be back. Delicious food, friendly service, just amazing. (The best apple pie I’ve had in ages, and it was gluten free!)

This place is an absolute gem! Delicious vegetarian food, interesting and well-prepared drinks, a great ambiance and such friendly service!

This cafe is amazing. They are proud and enthusiastic about their food which is tasty nutritious and healthy. We come here most weeks for a meal

Just bought my Welsh Cheese & Pickle baguette to go (12 minute walk to 🚂 station) and stayed for a quick Flat White - fantastic blend of beans prepped on site. Sveta & Dale create a great ambience here - certainly a place I will hopefully return to many times.

Lovely place to sit enjoy good food and relax

lovely heartwarming place with delicious home-cooked food

Beautiful place for a wonderful cup of tea and a slice of cake , vegetarian food delicious ...

Very cozy atmosphere, super friendly staff and amazing sustainable vegetarian food. Great choice of herbal teas as well.

If you haven't been you're missing out! Gorgeous coffee, homemade mushroom soup delicious. Always a friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Something really different! Even if you're not vegetarian (we arent) you will enjoy it.

Very cosy feel friendly staff and delicious home made food

Stopped off on my way to Zip world. Small, but really good menu, coffee beans blended on site, and cakes baked on the premises. Wished I lived nearer, and could have stayed longer.

We visited Bethesda for a mini break. One of the highlights was to to visit Domu. It was my sons birthday and I had promised him to take him for lunch tea and cakes. When we arrived it was very busy which is a good sign for a good restaurant. We were happy to wait for a table to be cleared. There was only one person who was serving and she was flustered. We were left ignored for a while and then when we spoke to her she very rudely said there is no space and the food is finished. We would have happily stayed for hot drinks and cake but her attitude was so unwelcoming and made us feel very uncomfortable. We left shocked and instead took our business to another place.

Superb atmosphere. Excellent coffee and cake. Great people working there. Highly recommended.

My favourite café ever! Amazing fresh food, incredible and lovely service from the kindest, most friendly owners! What an amazing place!!

great coffee good selection of vegetarian light meals and snacks

Delicious! The "original" hot chocolate is decadent and intensely flavourful - finally a hot chocolate that is not overly sweet and "sugar-flavour". I ordered the carrot cake and and this was also not overly sweet, but full of spice, moist and rich. The baker pays attention to flavour, rather than making up for the lack of it with sugar.

The best cafe in Bangor (and probably all of wales (and maybe the world))😁

Love this place. Food is great and run by lovely people. 😍

Outstanding food. Fantastic coffee. Visiting from Australia and stumbled on domu and it was the highlight of our visit to Bangor .

A good selection of loose-leaf teas. Do yourself a favour and try the cabbage pie smothered with borscht. Delicious.

Such a find! Up here for a university visit and the town wasn’t offering us a huge amount, but Domu was just perfect! An amazing array of teas and coffees, and cakes that looked delicious (full disclosure, we didn’t eat any - but people were buying extras to take away). Dale and Svet were wonderful hosts, happy to answer any questions about the cafe and even Bangor itself. A gem of a find in a town with quite a few of the chain coffee houses. Would definitely recommend!

We visited back in March whilst passing through Bangor and haven’t stopped talking about it since! Upon entering we were instantly made to feel at home. We were impressed with the extensive tea menu and array of homemade cakes on display. We both enjoyed soup, one mushroom and one dahl, accompanied by a homemade pasty. My partner described this as the best soup he’d ever eaten. We also opted for a herbal tea which was served on a tray with a little timer and an espresso which came in an adorable glass. The cafe was full of character with air plants scattered above the bar and various plants growing along the windowsill. The owner was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain how ordering works as soon as we walked in despite the fact that she was clearly busy running food and clearing tables. We’re already planning our return to Wales and can’t wait to stop by at Domu again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Wow! First time diner here today, and will definitely be back because the food was amazingly good quality, so too was the phenomenal Café Cubano!! The atmosphere was great and very relaxed I'm certain due entirely to the really lovely vibe of the people running the restaurant. Big thank you x

Great food, lovely welcome and cosy atmosphere

I'm about to depart Bangor and wanted to stop by before I leave. The food is outstanding, the tea and coffee selection is incredible, and the owners always greet you warmly! My all-time fave soup is Forest Mushroom Soup. Every time I eat it, it makes me nostalgic for home. Domu is the only thing about Bangor I'll miss! Love to the owners! ❤️

What a great place on the High Street close to the cathedral. Homemade borscht and bread, so hearty on a chilly day. Shame we didn’t have room for cake as they looked amazing 🤩👌🏼

Everything was BRILLIANT!! Went there for my 1st time the other day 07/03/2024. Good food/prices and nice atmosphere, def going back !!

Always an outstanding coffee house with gorgeous food (especially fab cakes), curated music and lovely vibe always.

I love Domu, this is the second time I’ve been and I love it every time. The food is so calm and delicious, the service is really friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere of the place is really cosy and homely. The whole place is nourishing and I leave with a full stomach and spirit every time. Great playlists too. Just 100 stars from me.

Svet and Dale are the best!!! Great speciality coffee and amazing food. We will always come by whenever we are in the area.

The Ukranian Broth was excellent, it is made fresh and quickly served, and is amazing value for money.

Outstanding food. As a Ukrainian I testify to the excellence of the food. The Borsch was out of this world, as good as any I’ve tasted here or in Eastern Europe. Дуже Вам дякую.

Delicious, home cooked food in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Superb.

One of my favourite cafes in Bangor, great quality of food never mind all being vegetarian and home made!

We had the mushroom soup, a cake (can’t remember which one) a flat white and hot chocolate. The soup was the highlight of the meal, was so delicious we plan to come back just for that! Unfortunately didn’t take any pic of the soup we just devoured it 😋😂.

The Borscht was really good and the flat white was the best ever!

Love domu food and staff, amazing

Popped in for quick lunch and was really impressed with the food and coffee. Carrot Dhal and Orzo Soup was very tasty and the coffee and cake superb. Lovely informal place to chill and dog friendly.

I have been to Domu several times, and enjoyed coffee and the beautiful cakes and pastries they make -- this time (06 October) I had a pasty in mushroom sauce, which was very tasty. Their tea is always excellent. The manager of the business is a really lovely rwoman who runs it with her husband who is a really good cook (and used to be in the Smiths -- you can buy his autobiography there). The decor is simple and they keep the place clean. The food is vegetarian and fresh every morning. All in all a pleasure to go there.

Great place to chill. Relax eat drink good food. Every visit is good. Great friendly owners. Always viste here when in Bangor, even if just for a lovely coffee.

Lovely place. Delicious soup, so friendly and lovely staff with a peaceful relaxing atmosphere for tired travellers

Such a beautiful little coffee shop! The lady that served us was so friendly and made the atmosphere really lovely as she was chatting away with visitors. Coffee was gorgeous too, and even though we visited close to closing time we had a lovely time. Would absolutely visit again.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing coffee and food

I am writing this review after 1 year of visiting this café and Bangor only once. I am captured in its amazing atmosphere and loved the welcoming environment and the warmth of the place. I had tasted the best coffee brownie I have ever tasted in my life!! Since then and for over year I have been trying to find a similar taste but failed to.. I will be coming again soon to Bangor just to try your brownies and tasty coffee.

What's not to like at Domu? Everything here is an ingredient to a recipe that will only make you happy, whether it is what you will drink, what you will eat, where you will seat, what you will listen to, what you will see and most of all, who you will talk to. Go to domu anytime you can, you won't regret it!

Very welcoming owners for unplanned visit by group of 8 for tea/coffee. Amazing range of teas and coffees, I enjoyed 'rose, Nile hibiscus and jasmine tea' for the first time and would happily have again.

Had a wonderful lunch here with friends.

This place made me think that I should never have given 5 stars to anywhere else I'd eaten; it was so good I want to go back again and again. Simple veggie menu based around homemade soup, bread and Czech savouries, and it was all delicious. Also truly wonderful homemade cakes. I can't praise this place enough, if you fancy homemade soup Domu is worth travelling to.

Great vibes, music, coffee, and Ukrainian food. But the cherry on the top is their amazing cakes. All home-made, large slices and delicious flavours. Svet and Dale make you feel like you’re coming home. It’s a pity we had to leave the area.

After installing my daughter in her room at the university we came down to the town for lunch, I had checked for vegetarian restaurants on Google and I'm so glad I chose Domu My daughter chose the pasty with the roasted tomato soup and I had the Potlava with the forest mushroom soup , both meals were extremely tasty and very filling and you could tell they had been prepared with care, the mushroom soup that I had with a pot lava was probably the best mushroom soup I've had in my life and I'm so glad I had some of the bread The owners are only too happy to discuss what the food is, how it's prepared, what the ingredients are, explain how they're all cooked and about the heritage of the dishes I was extremely happy with my visit and I can't wait to eat here again and I will get there earlier in the day so I could sample the bosch

We always try and visit here when in Bangor, hopefully early enough to sample the Borscht, Piroshki and gorgeous soups, but, if not, for coffee and some luscious cake. The vibe is calm, warm, friendly, welcoming and inclusive with a carefully curated soundtrack that is never too intrusive to hinder conversation. The food is authentic Ukrainian family fare cooked slowly and clearly with love - the borscht is beautifully balanced, full of flavour, with the comforting texture of slow cooked vegetables and beans. The coffee blend is so good we always buy a bag of beans to take home and the wonderful cakes are moist, rich and indulgent. The only suggestion I would make is that Dale may want to add a few Jim White tracks to his playlist, if he hasn’t already. Thanks Domu.

Absolutely delicious vegetarian food served in a delightful restaurant by a friendly owner.

Stunning, fresh food done very well!👌

This is the best place to grab lunch in bangor, its obvious that the chef cooks with real passion and it shows in the food, cannot recommend enough. Second to none ! You should be very proud 👏

Grear spot in Bangor! Food was delicious, the place was cute and the service was exceptional (probably best I had in the UK). After eating lunch, we wanted to try a cake because it looked amazing and we got two slices for one because they were the last. Instead of it going to waste/dry out, it was given us for free. Certainly felt like a valued customer, even though I'm only traveling through Bangor.

Absolutely gem of a find ! Food all home made, service second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Dale and his Ukranian wife were very welcoming. The food had a very different twist on normal cafe products !

Very good location in Bangor high street. Delicious food with no waste policy. Tried a cake and two mains from the menu and all were really nice. If not hungry, at least try the lemon drizzle cake with coffee.

My wife is vegetarian and we were looking for good veggie (or vegan) food. In the morning, we booked a table to eat for 3pm . Upon arrival, we were told food was sold out (two hours before closing time and despite a table being booked). A borscht was offered, which my wife had and I had nothing. Ingredients on menu mention beet (of course), onion, carrot, cabbage and potatoes. The main ingredients appeared to be canned tomatoes and potatoes - tasted nothing like borscht from Eastern Europe. Pleasant service, but after planning our day around this, we were extremely disappointed.

Great food. Brilliant service. Good background music. Zero waste policy 👍means small batch cooking so may have run out of dishes by early afternoon.

Good coffee, pleasant staff, nice venue with good atmosphere and fitting music, and AMAZING food <3 Perfect place for lunch!

Haven't been here before, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent food and friendly service. Would definitely recommend it.

A beautiful place, full of love with amazing food! Highly recommended :)

Very nice cafe. Staff were great and very helpful

Good quality, original homemade food, lovely flavours. Great hospitality.

What a lovely find. Beautiful food and friendly owners. When I'm in Bangor again I'm definitely going back and taking my husband with me ❤️

Absolutely stunning food. Really delicious and like nothing we've tried before. The cakes were SO good which we had as takeaway with a beautiful turmeric latte. The atmosphere was lovely with frequent regulars, which shows how great it is. Staff were kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We can't wait to return!

Called in for a coffee but we couldn't resist the delicious chocolate bomb and cherry cake ,both were delicious ,the staff were lovely,especially the Ukrainian lady ( who made the cakes) don't miss it if you go to Bangor!

Hidden gem! It’s so nice to come to a place like this..with a super friendly owner, zero waste, cosy atmosphere and of course, great food. Vegan options were good - we had the flap jack and even ordered more for the next day as it was super yummy!

Amazing find this little cafe. The lady that served us was friendly and kind and lovely to chat to. They serve vegetarian food with good vegan options. There’s a lovely selection of cakes too. We had the flapjack and ordered more because it was so good! I love that this cafe is also a zero waste cafe. The tea selection was excellent. I had the strawberry tea and it was gorgeous! Clean toilets, lovely cozy vibe and good music. Thank you for a lovely time

Cosy family run good food and reasonably priced

Best cafe in the whole town! Nothing compares.

This is amazingly tasty food. Great service and exceptional cleanliness. Very relaxed place. Owned by one of the original members of the SMITHS. Extremely interesting place. A MUST of a visit.

Delicious cakes & great quality coffee. A wonderfully warm & welcoming atmosphere. Wish this was my local coffee house.

Excellent food and coffee, highly recommend coming here!

Probably the best lounge caffe in town! Amazing food, superb atmosphere and friendly staff! Traditional original Ukrainian food, with amazing coffes and teas. I had no idea tha iced espresso existed! We had a mashroom and tomato soups that rivalled the soups of my own mother! It is truly homemade food!! If you are in Bangor you must visit Dommu at least for the tea. If you want to indulge yourself a bit more eat the amazing food. Ps. They even make homemade birthday cakes :D! Again superb! SL

Really good food and very welcoming atmosphere - happy to come again.

Always have a really positive experience when I visit. Food is delicious ,affordable and sustainably sourced. Staff members are always friendly and really take care of you.

Really lovely place, good food, felt very homely and friendly. I loved the 100% hot chocolate. It's nice to get something that isn't sweet. The cakes were really tasty and lunch choices looked good. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Looking for a quick lunch in Bangor, our usual cafe was shut (luckily!) decided to try here and so glad we did. Food was delicious, friendly staff and reasonable. Will definitely go back, thank you 😊

Lovely food, you can really taste that it’s freshly made! And the couple that run the cafe are so nice. Would come often if I lived locally☺️

Went here with my 1 year old son, very accommodating. Sat on the high table, borscht arrived in 5 minutes, absolutely delicious and even the bread was good quality. Little gem on the high street.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and cakes, always very friendly staff. I highly recommend.

Great place to eat the bread is home made absolutely lovely. Cakes also amazing Will definitely be going here again

Cozy little independent coffee house with great veggie/vegan options. The coffee is delicious
