Gray-Thomas in Gwynedd

We were in Caernarfon for five days and every day we just kept coming back to this place. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the food. It was a nice light lunch with coffee, a roll, quiche, or panini with small salad and shared treat. It is also away from crowds which was relaxing. I bought something in the gift shop behind as well. There are no toilets but public ones nearby.

Nice little coffee shop opposite the castle. Dog friendly, good prices with amazing coffee and cake selection. Always a warm welcome by the staff with prompt, friendly service. Recommended

I popped in here as was the only inviting cafe open on a Sunday in March. What a good job I did. Dewi served me with hot choc and a scone - delicious. And what a gem both he and the owner were, brimming with fun and facts about the local area, such a knowledgeable chap Dewi is! Highly recommended!

We visited Caernarfon and being January not a lot of places were open. This is a cafe and shop and we had a nice chat with the chap serving at the counter and we ordered coffee and cake. Both were excellent with my partner saying its the best Americano she's had in ages. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Lovely coffee and cake Been coming for a long time, however was put off when I saw the staff stroking a dog and returned to food area without washing his hands. Has put ne right off

After spending hours exploring the castle (which we did just after lunch), we needed some refreshment and found this place across the street shortly before closing time. The server was friendly. The place was nice an had a small mount of nice seating in front facing the castle, giving a nice setting. We had good tea and excellent Victoria Sponge and Bakewell Tart.

Great place, big windows to watch the world go by right opposite the castle. Don't do many reviews, but really nice place 😊

Recommend this friendly clean cafe /shop opposite the castle for cake and drinks outside seating and dog friendly

Just arrived and called in for a coffee, friendly staff, good coffee and thanks to a top from a local a great seat where you xan watch the world go by whilst viewing the castle.

What a wonderful cafe! I took my owners and family into Gray-Thomas for a drink and a piece of cake late in the afternoon. They are not just dog friendly but dog welcoming, with dog treats for any four-pawed visitors and bowls of fresh water. My humans had lovely drinks and gorgeous cakes and they too were offered glasses of water on the table. The adults hot drinks came with a little biscuit, and very thoughtfully, the same biscuits were brought to the table for the children, so they didn't miss out on one. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the two lads running it had plenty of time to talk to my humans and lots of 'skwuffles' for me and my puppy friend. If you are ever in Caernarfon you CAN'T miss a trip to Gray-Thomas! Archie

Popped in on a rainy day to warm up after visiting the castle. Decent prices, and friendly member of staff. Coffee was lovely, as was the honeycomb tiffin. There’s a nice little gift shop attached too. Would recommend for anyone looking for a coffee stop.

Good food, reasonable price, good service, and not far from the castle. Used Trip Advisor to find some cafes close to the castle. This place was one of the results. Perfect.

We called in for coffee and hoped for home baked scones but these proved to be doughy industrial versions, most unpleasant to eat. Indoor seating was comfortable. No alternative to butter was available, a real problem for those of us with health conditions or simply wanting to eat more healthily or reduce calorie intake. We were not asked for Covid track and trace information.

Popped in late morning for a coffee and cake. Both were superb. Sausage roll was excellent, nice premises and staff too.

Banging welsh cakes mate. The coffee was exquisite....i will be back. The cafe was right where the castle moat would have been, amazing

We stopped here for coffee and cakes and everything was excellent. The staff gave us a warm welcome and were friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed the cakes we chose (lemon drizzle, millionaire's shortbread, welsh cakes). Highly recommended.

We visited on a busy day. The initial “welcome” was a bit lacking - so much so that we had a brief discussion about whether to stay or go! A little expensive for the quality of the sandwiches/ size of cakes but it has a...

Such a beautiful place. Lovely place for a nice cup of tea and some delicious cheesecake. My favourite was the dog 🥰✌️🏼

What appears to be a retail gallery has a wonderful coffee shop come eatery in the front offering a delightful range of coffees, cakes and meals in comfortable lounge chair seatings and table and chairs. On a cold winters day the soup was supurb, changing...

Not impressed with servo e. We waited half an hour for tea and toasted cake. We have our table up to a disabled lady so she would h e more room numbers were .iced up somehow. No apology just oh well your served now. I...

We had lunch here on our way to the castle, so well placed in the town. Soup and a toastie: both lovely. Friendly service from the staff.

Staff were rushed off their feet when we visited but still very polite and helpful. Coffee is probably the best in Caernarfon and the cakes were yummy too! So good, we visited twice while we were in the area!

Stopped off for coffee. Reasonably priced, good selection. Very clean. Attached to a gift shop. Worth a visit

Visited for a cup of tea and cakes, food was fine although I would have preferred proper cream as opposed to the “frothy “ stuff. Staff were very lacking in attention to clearing tables... there were 4 empty tables when we arrived all of which...

Had a pit stop for a drink and scone on a family outing, absolutely love this place. The staff were friendly and polite, but best of all was seeing the retired guide dog ( Nelson) who gave us the most loving welcome ever. I'll definitely...

Went for a nice walk and ended up here yesterday. Lovely coffe and cakes, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Highly recommended.

I travelled from Criccieth to Caernarfon today to have an amble around with my parents, sister and brother in law.... we remembered the coffee and atmosphere at Gray-Thomas from last May as being very nice so we headed there again. Unfortunately we didn't really receive...

Good food. Clean bright very inviting with great service from helpfull friendly staff. Wld thoroughly recommend .

Went for lunch after a visit to the castle. Great soup and great cakes. Had to change baby on a mat on the toilet floor. Spoke to a member of staff about getting a fold-down changing table, who said 'but where would we put it? The disabled toilet is more than big enough to hold one and they are not expensive. Get it sorted. Kneeling on a toilet floor with a wriggley baby marred my visit.

Decent service, food and tea was good and place was quiet. Lovely range of cakes available. Nice proper tea shop.

Having visited the castle last Sunday we went into the cafe for coffee. In addition to the tearoom there was a gift shop selling various touristy items plus clothing. It had a varied menu of lite bites and cakes all reasonably priced. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the tearoom was very clean and tidy. In fact a great place to visit.

Our stop at Gray-Thomas was very good. Our cakes and brownie were delicious and our tea, coffe and raspberry milkshake were tasty. BUT... very loud annoying bug-zapper and small area of seating. Good shop inside. Overall very good stop and good shopping.

Frankly I wouldn’t bother. A lack of atmosphere, a rather bland selection of cakes, packaged bacon baps......when you can get freshly made up the road. I saw little to recommend.

Tried this place as I couldn't be bothered to join the long queue in the franchise down the road. I'm very glad I did as it is the most comfortable little cafe I've been in for a while. The beverages and cakes were reasonably priced and obviously home-made; they were delicious. Will visit again rather than go to the big name cafes.

My husband and I LOVE their desserts and the great assortment. Their raspberry tea and hot chocolate are also tops. On a non-rainy day, we sat out front and admired the castle. On a rainy day, we savored the treats whilst seated inside. The restaurant is also dog friendly [as are many in Caernarfon], as they have a large water dish set out for pets. A very pet friendly place for a sweet tooth. [Yes, they have sandwiches and soup, but my sweet tooth got the better of me, and my nutrition training took, like me, a vacation!]

Really enjoyed my visit here. Ben made us feel very welcome and serves good coffee. Pastries are lovely ! Will definetley be back.

We called for lunch on a trip to Caernarfon Castle, it is located opposite the castle entrance.

Lovely little coffee shop right next door to the castle. Friendly staff and great cakes. Coffee wasn’t bad either.

We are local and have visited this cafe on several occasions. We have had nice sandwiches, toasties and cake. Drinks are good too, nice coffees and choice of teas. We have found the staff to be very friendly and attentive with good customer service skills. We will continue to be frequent visitors. Bonus is the nice gift shop attached.

Stopped by for a cup of tea whilst the other members of the family were in the castle. I had gone for a walk with the family dog as she wasn't allowed in the castle.

After exploring the Castle, we stopped off for coffee & cake at Gray-Thomas café, directly outside the main castle gate.

Gray-Thomas has always been a key place in Caernarfon life. The relatively recent addition of a cafe is welcome. Serves good coffee and a good varied selection of sweet and savoury light meals.

Dropped in while visiting Caernarfon.Glad we did.Comfortable seating with a good selection of cakes and savouries.Service quick and pleasant.There is also a gift shop attached with some interesting goodies.

Had a quick look around the town for somwhere to grab a cuppa after visiting the castle and decidied with this welcoming looking coffee shop situated right accross from the castle. Staff were very welcoming and although our drinks took a couple of minutes it was well worth wait! Some of the best I've had in a while.

Lovely visit in a great location. Hawaiian panini was great! Plenty of filling and seeded bread lovely. Good quality crisps and a variety of salad which was nicely presented. Had a hot chocolate with all the trimmings very tasty. But the highlight was the maple...

Handy for a drink and the opportunity to browse round the welsh gift shop and a range of pictures. Only 1 toilet.

The atmosphere in this cafe is one of the best in Caernarfon. A lot of locals come here daily, even in Winter. Their coffee beats all other coffee in the town. There is a good selection of cakes available but would prefer to buy cakes made by local small businesses. The cakes are also relatively pricey, which I wouldn't mind if they were from homemade local sources. Since opening a few years ago they have branched out to serving lunches. Having ordered soups and sandwiches here a handful of times, they do take a while to come out even when it is quiet. This cafe would be so much better if they went back to serving good quality coffee and cakes. The staff are always nice to us but I don't think they realise what we can hear from over the counter. They can be quite unprofessional, being on their mobiles when tables need to be cleared as well as a few curses being heard. The cups can sometimes be a little stained and the floor and skirtings could do with a good clean. Overall I would recommend a visit here for a good coffee and chat with locals.

Good snacks We just wanted a light lunch and toasties went down a treat just fitting our needs. Light meals only.

There is no café in Caernarfon Castle, but this café/gift shop is opposite the main entrance. Modern décor, good sandwiches, friendly service. Nice shop - not tacky. Popular with Welsh-speaking locals, so must be good!

Eto lle i bigo fewn am goffi a sgwrs ac edych ar y byd a'i bobol yn mynd am y Maes a'r castell.

Mi marido y yo metimos en la mañana del martes aquí. La zona de la cafetería en el frente parecía lo suficientemente limpio, pero no tenían hambre, así que sólo tenía un vistazo en la tienda. Tenía la variedad usual de caros regalos galés y artesanía. También había una pequeña galería de arte en la parte trasera. Esta cafetería está en una ubicación privilegiada frente al castillo y, por lo tanto, popular entre los turistas.

Realmente estupendo café. Batidos, café y té. Doble espresso sólo £1. 70. Batidos y té bueno también. Incluso la posibilidad de una silla mientras bajo el contrato de paredes del castillo.

Una ubicación muy conveniente, directamente enfrente de la entrada del castillo y es ideal para un muslo y una bebida antes o después de una visita al castillo. Un poco caro comparado con otros cafés locales, pero bien merece la pena una visita.

My partner and I called in after visiting the castle. We did have to wait a few moments to be served but it was clear they had a surge of customers. The staff were very apologetic and as soon as the rush was over we had a good chat with the friendly staff. The coffee was far better than you get from the popular chain cafes and the location offers fantastic views of the castle. Highly recommended.

Really close to the castle entrance so perfect for a stop off after a loo around. Quite busy when we got there but we were served very quickly and our food came in good time. Food was lovely, they do decaf coffee options and soya milk which was great. Staff very friendly and chatty, do recommend (:

Called in to escape a shower on a stormy afternoon & were rewarded with excellent coffee and a very tasty honeycomb tiffin. Right opposite the castle entrance & a good place to watch the world go by.

Able to order quickly but got our cakes on our table before we even sat down and then didn't have our hot chocolates until at least another 10 minutes. Very slow service but the cakes and hot chocolate were lovely. Tiffin very hard to cut but very tasty. Good variety of cakes. Good value. All staff friendly.

This is literally across the road from the castle and is therefore very busy. We just had hot drinks and cakes. My cake was a slice from a large cake and was delicious but the eccles cake my husband had was not very good - undercooked pastry and just a huge mound of dry currants. The pot of tea came with hot water which is a rare treat these days.The gallery and gift shop - these are usually very expensive when in such locations - was lovely and whilst there were many hugely overpriced items, there were a whole raft of affordable, reasonably priced gifts and it was a pleasure to walk around.It was also a café frequented by locals, which is always a good sign and should we return to Caernarfon, we would happily re-visit.

We visit often, and one day... perhaps... we will be served quickly and efficiently. But it hasn't happened so far.It doesn't stop us coming though, as we see so many people we know here, which fills up the time quite nicely between placing our order and that order arriving (sometimes even the wrong order) in the end.Staff training is DEFINITELY on the menu, I think. And the sooner the better. Such a pity, as the place has so much going for it - placed, as it is, right opposite the entrance to the extremely popular Castle.Yes, we'll keep coming back, and I would recommend that others visit too, especially for the coffee, which is one of the best in town. Just make sure you allow plenty of time...

It was late in the afternoon by the time we flopped in the comfortable chairs in this cafe and gift shop. Good service and friendly.

We called in for a cup of tea after busing the weeping window in the castle. We ordered 2 standard hot drinks and they took nearly 30 minutes to arrive! We couldn't see any reason for this delay. They take your money when ordering, when given the length of time you wait seems a bit naughty. Definitely won't go again.

A very nice Cafe opposite the castle & a great place to sit & people watch the visitors to the castle. Stopped off after visiting the castle to see the poppy installation for a a coffee & a toastie, nice cup of Coffee, a nice toatie with salad & comfortable seating, service was nice & quick, quality of the food was good, comfy seats. All in all a great cafe experience

A fabulous gift shop, gallery, local crafts shop - call it what you will, but a great place to browse and buy. First time in Caernarfon and I was delighted with the service we received while we were asking about, and buying, a sculpture. The lady who served us was informative and chatted happily between our questions and serving others. An impressive display of goods and great customer service - thank you.

Lovely cafe, menu and a good selection of cakes. Let down terribly by unprofessional and extremely rude and obnoxious staff. Will never return! don't take kindly to being told to piss off by the so-called manager.

Having just visited the poppy display at the castle we walked across to this lovely little coffee shop. Great ambience here and very relaxed atmosphere. We decided what we wanted, which is not easy with the lush looking selection of cakes and pastries, paid, and within minutes a polite young waitress called Sian brought over our order. The lemon meringue pie, a particular favourite of mine, was perfect. Tea is served by the pot which I prefer. One of our party is disabled and was pleased to discover that the spotlessly clean toilet was easily accesible and is also equipped for the disabled.There is a gift shop at the back which I wish we had more time to shop in.Excellent service, lovely tea and pastry all at a reasonable price.

Set right opposite the castle is this coffee and gift shop. We popped in after a visit to the castle to see the stunning poppy display. The service was warm and friendly as usual. Coffee and cake good as well!

Called in for lunch. Expected better, given that this is a really nice and good quality gift shop (and used to be a nice gallery too). It was pretty empty for lunchtime but I assumed that was because most people had opted for cafes with outdoor seating in the sunshine, which this doesn't have. The staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful - but I had a long wait for my lunch which gave me plenty of time to inspect my surroundings. I was both surprised and disappointed to notice how dirty the place was. The widows, window sills, skirting boards and corners were really dusty/dirty. I also had to ask for my table to be wiped. The young lad readily obliged, brushing the crumbs off the table and onto the floor. Dirt does not instil confidencein me in an eating establishment. (It makes me wonder what the kitchen is like!). Plus there's no excuse for it. The food, when it came, was average but fortunately inexpensive (£6 for a pot of tea and a toasted sandwich). They'd got my order slightly wrong but I didn't want to delay things any further and so I said nothing. I won't be returning. It's not worth a second visit when there are lots of other options in Caernarfon.

Visited for refreshments following our Castle visit. Clean, modern decor. Very friendly staff, a family run business. The cake selection was outstanding and delicious. A very nice atmosphere and the shop to the rear had some interesting items to peruse.

Visited 3/9/16 at 3pm looked ok from outside however went inside plates and cups piled high on all vacant tables of which there were many both staff members ignored you as a customer, made no attempt to clean any table so that you could sit and order drinks and food ended up moving crockery etc ourselves but we're still ignored whilst staff watched and pretended to be busy behind the counter, waited 10 mins in the end left . Don't waste your Time Appalling service and standard

Like many others we lunched here after our visit to the Castle. We enjoyed the paninis (if I remember well, the hot bread), actually should have chosen more Welsh. But anyway, this bread was delicious! Staff friendly, quick.

Great little place almost opposite the castle. Friendly staff, great location and a nice little gift shop. We had tea, coffee, soup, tea cakes and fudge cake (gluten free & amazing) as a light lunch. Clean and comfortable with tasty food.

After a lengthy visit to the castle across the road we refuelled on some nice cake, coffee and drinks in this gift shop come cafe.Counter service was OK, prices what you might expect for cake and coffee, the cake was good and the view of the castle walls overpowering, in a nice way.

Popped in here for a quick cuppa and cake as we saw the prices were good from the outside. Tea was £1.50. Went in and found a table, you then order at the counter. The cake selection was good. I recommend the honeycomb tiffin.The tea took a bit of time to get to us but as I said it was busy. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Overall it was a good place for tea and cake.

Small friendly cafe opposite the castle. Price and quality good. Friendly staff. Had lunch there and went back for tea and cake later. Attached to a shop selling quality goods.

We ducked into Gray-Thomas to get out of the rain and were not disappointed. The coffee and tea were well made and the gluten free chocolate cake was delicious! All with great views of the castle. The attached gift shop has lovely gifts and mementos of northern Wales. A great place to spend a rainy hour or two.

The delightful staff know how to make 'proper' coffee here and the cakes are fab too. Great place to visit after walking round the town or visiting the castle.

Beautiful coffee shop with extensive gift shop. Food was good, service great with brilliant staff. A really good place to stop.

After a couple of hours in the castle we popped in for a coffee and a fancy piece. Very clean and friendly staff. Nice gift shop inside too. Busy with locals and tourists alike

Really enjoyed our visit to Gray Thomas - wet miserable day and staff were cheerful and helpful - delicious cappucino and white chocolate and cranberry/maple and walnut cakes =

A lovely little cafe attached to a fine craft and gift shop. Staff are welcoming and friendly, while the cakes and drinks are fabulous. Highly recommend the apple pie and the lemon meringue!

If you visit Caenarfon make sure you don't miss out on this lovely cafe / gallery situated directly opposite the castle. Try the delicious chicken & bacon panini which comes with a bowl of fresh salad - yummy! After lunch you can have a browse around the shop which sells quality goods with a price range for everybody, including beautiful pictures from local artists such as Josie Russell whose work is stunning. The staff here both in the imacculately clean cafe and the gallery are so friendly and it's obvious they really care about their customers, new and old. This is somewhere I would go back to time and again and hope to in the not too distant future.

Whilst visiting Caernarfon and the castle we stopped of here for a break as it is right next to the castle and I am please that we did. The premises were wheelchair accessible which was great as i had my sister who is in a wheelchair with me.The staff were very friendly and helpful moving chairs to help with access. The food choice was good and the service was very quick. The food was well served and hot and the prices were very reasonable. Give it a try

Just over the road from the castle - good coffee, cakes and some savouries for lunch. All good quality and tasty.

Nice modern decor here. You order the food and drink at the counter - then wait - for quite a while and all we had was tea and cake. The tea and cake was fine with a good selection of speciality teas and cakes but it could reach the tables a bit quicker guys.

Popped in here whilst visiting and got a really friendly reception from the two Baristas serving who were very polite young men.Had two coffees that were great and good value.Lovely place to relax and watch the world go by

We found Gray-Thomas near Caernarfon Castle and it was a pleasant and interesting place to stop for coffee. We looked around the shop first where there was an interesting selection of quality craft items paintings and sculptures. We had an enjoyable cup of coffee each and would visit again when visiting Caernarfon.

What used to be part of the shop is now a comfortable cafe serving inexpensive tea and coffee (fresh) with a selection of sandwiches and cakes! a nice pit stop when in town. My favourite watering hole to date!

We were visiting Caernarfon Castle and were pointed in the direction of the cafe shop as a place to eat, as the castle did not offer refreshments. We ordered 2 turkey sandwiches, a pot of tea and a latte. We sat at a table near the window, which had not been cleaned after the previous tenant, and had to move the coffee table to make room revealing a lot of muck and old food. We waited quite a while for two pieces of run of the mill bread with a slice of turkey, some tired looking salad leaves and a small pot of cranberry sauce. Total cost £12.75 assuming the sandwiches were £4.50 and totally over priced. Obviously priced for the tourists.

We called in here for a coffee and a cake after looking in a few neighbouring cafes. This seemed to have the best cake selection for us. We ordered a bakewell slice and an apple pie and custard with a pot of tea and a coffee. The service was friendly and good. The bakewell slice was delicious and large and my husband enjoyed the apple pie. I was pleased to see the pot of tea also came with a pot of hot water so had 3 cups of tea and still left some in the pot! My husband also had a pot of water with his coffee and he was happy to water down his coffee to get extra cups. We sat by the window and looked at the castle. There is also a gift shop attached to the cafe which we looked round. We didn't try any of the other food but would be happy to recommend for a cake break.

A nice place to stop for coffee and cakes, staff very friendly and café clean.The shop part is well stocked with clothing and pottery, a few souvenir items also available.Well worth a visit and near the castle too.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, prices are resonable to say it is opposite the castle a good place to rest for a while.

After a visit to the Castle we popped in here for a quick bowl of soup. Soup was luke warm and quite obviously shop bought. The 'bread' offered was one slice from a standard loaf cut in two, not even a roll complete with Irish butter. Staff were polite enough and attentive, but this place is obviously trading on tourist trade being so close to the Castle.

We have been to Caernarfon for many years, during this holiday stopped for lunch here, the best cheese and tomato sandwiches ever, delicious cake, so bright and airy surroundings, staff were lovely and good value for money, although height of the holiday season service was good, would go back!

I have visited this cafe on numerous occasions and I can honestly say, it has never failed to impress. As a local person, I have visited the cafe many times for the excellent coffee, customer service and child friendly attitude. It's also very good value for money. Situated a stone throw from the castle, it is the perfect place to sit with a coffee (or panad, if you're in Wales) and one of their delightful yummy locally made cakes (impressive selection). They have a great, huge window for watching the world go by and seems to be a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike. Definitely worth going to if you're in the town.

We are a family of 2 adults and 1 child. We popped in for lunch as we were visiting the town. The cafe looks very welcoming from the outside. We took a seat and waited a long time for any member of the 4 very young members of staff to approach us. It seemed (after asking) the idea was to order at the till point. It would have helped if this was made obvious to customers. After having to ask what sandwiches were available (not written on the menu), we ordered a cheese and ham panini, a turkey sandwich and a children's cheese sandwich. After a VERY long time, we recieved a cheese panini, a ham sandwich and nothing else. I had to approach the counter to ask if this was in fact our order. It was!!! So, after jointly inspecting the hand written order with a staff member, it was clear that perhaps the staff here cannot read or in fact process a very straight forward lunch order. So, another very lengthy wait for our lunch order to be put right. (No offer of replacing the ham sandwich to the original order of turkey!!) Then, it seemed that the staff then talked about us from afar.... Any appetite we may have had on arrival quickly dissappeared. The bread was not fresh and we certainly did not want to stay for cake. It would appear that the cafe should stick to what they know best.....cake and coffee.

The coffee house /cafe is well laid out. Bright and spacious.However after placing an order for tea and cake.I sat and waited for 21 minutes. In that time no other order was taken, I was sitting less than a metre from the counter. but staff seemed to be trying to catch up with orders.Which seemed odd as there was only 3 others in the cafe. So after another 3 minute I got up got a refund and got to the cafe less then 20 metres away and got my tea and cake.With a friendly smile on a very much more service orientated cafe.

Had to take shelter from the rain and so glad we found this lovely cafe near castle.Lovely pot of tea and great choice of cakes. It also has a gift shop.Would recommend this Cafe.

Called in here for lunch whilst in the area. Had a Panini and coffee, both of which arrived promptly and were fresh and warm. The cakes in the cabinet looked very appetising. You can sit here and drink your coffee whilst looking across the road to Caernarfon Castle.
