Idris Stores in Gwynedd

Called in around lunchtime after a walk around Corris, the lady serving was so friendly, we had hot chocolate and a pannini, pannini was delicious. My wife found the hot chocolate a little rich, and the owner offered to make her a cup of tea FOC. All the staff were lovely, well done!

Called in for tea and cake after walking up 2 hills to get to see the Italian miniatures. Love atmosphere, friendly staff, great tea and scrumpy cakes

We stopped at this little cafe/store at lunch time and were obviously very lucky to find it open judging by previous reviews. The staff were very friendly and it was very nice inside. My husband and I have toasties which were good. Closing at 3.00 and being closed on Sundays is very sad for people hoping to visit on other occasions. Anyway we enjoyed our experience.

This is now has its 3rd owner in 5 years. Originally opening 6 days a week morning until late evening, with many late night functions. The next owner started with these hours, but quickly reduced them down to a few hours over 5 days, with frequent closures for holidays. The Present owners have reduced these hours further.Within a few months of taking the helm the days and hours have been reduced further with several closures. Seems like this business has become a hobby venture, instead of the thriving hub it once was!

Absolutely beautiful cafe, the owners are so friendly and lovely. We enjoyed a delicious toastie and vegan treats. It’s so great to see so many vegan options and all homemade. Best of all the coffee was absolutely delicious - not exaggerating the coffee was the best we’ve ever have. Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend

Stopped here this time on our way to Snowdonia, great coffee and good selection of snacks and delicacies . On the downside though - it opens for a few hours a day , over 5 days and is frequently closed for the owners many breaks.

Best Ever Hidden Gem. Vegan heaven 👍🏽🧡💙💜🌟💯 Had a vegan wrap, amazing, had the veggie tart, wonderful, had the veggie/beetroot pie, delicious. Visited lots of times, never fails. Tastiest vegan takeout ever 🌟🌟🌟💯💯💯

A quaint village store and so much more. Always service with a smile and excellent coffee and selection of takeaway snacks.

A lovely little oasis of delightful foods, coffee and cake. Makes a great stopping point and if you are vegan or veggie this is the shop for you. They are also a little convenience store and sell locally made crafts

Fantastic cafe and village shop. Great vegan options, the wrap was delicious. Dog friendly too - couldn't ask for more.

We has lunch today and it was delicious. Hearty broth with sourdough toast and Moroccan nut roast. Followed by excellent coffee and carrot cake. We also bought olives, coffee and local butter from the "store". Lovely staff and great surroundings. Highly recommended.

Fantastic local shop that doubles as a cafe. Good range of wine, beer, food and vegetables, and amazing cakes and savouries. All topped off with great coffee and tea. Well worth a visit

We had stopped "up the road" but decided to move on and I'm so glad we did. The friendly welcome and informality made us feel comfortable and the choice of food was imaginative. Coffee was very good (I had a second cup), my burrito was delicious and satisfying. We also bought some dates from the shop area and left feeling pretty good.

We were looking for a nice breakfast stop on our way to St Davids from Cheshire . We didn’t want to stop in The tourist mecca Bala. Just 1 minute off the A487 is Idris Stores, which is a store and Cafe combined. Trip Advisor shows 5 stars and it is truly well deserved. We arrived with our Dog and were made to feel very welcome by the owners. We had Delicious Granola, Soda Bread Toast. The coffees we superb too. It was so good that we made a point of stopping on our return journey for lunch. My wife had a frittata and three of us had a burritos. They also offer vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The perfect end to a really wonderful week's holiday. We'd been meaning to visit all week and we're so glad we dropped in for breakfast on our way home. Idris Stores is so much more than a café and so much more than a store. It's got real soul and it felt like a real hub for the village community. The owners were so wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. We had omelettes and bacon on sourdough toast - simply delicious. Great vegan options too. We couldn't leave without a couple of treats and enjoyed our blueberry cakes and Snowdon lager when we got back home. We will definitely be back!

We happened to be driving through Corris around brunch time, so took a quick stop-over at the Idris stores. Having heard about a change in owners, we were worried if reviews were still valid. We needn't have worried - a fantastic brunch saw us set up perfectly for the long journey home. Highly recommended.

In the heart of what is a beautiful village, is this beautiful cafe/shop. Great friendly staff with great coffee and pastries. Amazing Saturday breakfasts for carnivores and vegetarians/vegans alike. With a well stocked shop to boot.

Although living fairly locally this was our first visit to Idris Stores. Good coffee and cakes in front of a roaring log burner on a cold day was just what we were looking for. We’ll definitely be back for more.

We went for breakfast one morning mid week whilst staying in the area (it doesn't open until about 10am)... The wonderful Italian lady who was working the place that day was quite a character and really added to our experience... Breakfast was fairly basic, the coffee was nice. The packed lunch she made whilst chatting to us about all and sundry was wonderful though. The stores sell everything you could and would want locally - the only issue is the opening times, but if you're passing it's worth a look... Stop off on your way to see the 'Led Zep house' which we learnt all about but never visited.

Brilliant coffee and cakes we arrived at closing time and were made most welcome well worth a visit if in the area

Visited her with a friend who is fortunate enough to live steps away.. Lovely homemade vegan food. Tasty and heathly. Amazing baking.. Great coffees will definitely return

Right in the middle of the scenic village of Corris is this combination café/bakery/grocery store. Stop in, throw calorie counting to the winds, and enjoy.

We were staying in Corris and stumbled across this hidden gem on a walk.

I have visited Idris Stores so many times now it is an absolute must that I will go out of my way for.

We loved this place and were estatic about it but the new owners have raised it to a new level. There is the vibrant sense of a community hub and this is a unique place in a small village.
