Kyffin in Gwynedd

I’ve been coming to this cafe on and off for years now as I really love the food and coffee which is always delicious, and the ambience is right up my street. Unfortunately after today I cannot in all good conscience return in the future. The owner consistently belittles and rolls her eyes at my autistic mother who struggles with the ordering system at the deli counter, my mum may not notice it but I do, and today it really rubbed me the wrong way. In previous visits I’d looked past her behaviour and thought maybe she’s just having a stressful day, but alas it seems she is always sour and unwelcoming. I’ve overheard her unsavoury comments about other customers in passing too. It makes you wonder why on earth she got into hospitality if serving customers is such a tedious task. This review is in no way a reflection on the other members of staff who are always warm and welcoming and make a lovely coffee. It costs nothing to be kind.

No idea why this place is not Number One in Bangor. Outstanding coffee and friendly service in chilled relaxing atmosphere, Highly recommended… I’d go so far as to say it’s worth travelling to Bangor to have coffee here!

Loves the food - was my first time here and the service and ambiance were excellent. Can be recommended for families etc.

Only discovered this lovely place a couple of months ago. Now we go as often as we are able. We even go out specifically to have coffee here, may daughter loves the "vibe" which is high praise from a teenager! Great selection of coffee and tea, the food is delicious! If you fancy a sweet treat there is a good selection to choose from not to mention the beautiful chocolates.

So, this place is amazing, I love the food, I love the vibe, the chocolate, the bits n bobs for sale on the shelves, the back room, it's like a magic emporium for food lovers. The only thing I don't like is that I always feel like I'm in trouble when ordering, I have a specific diet, but even just asking for no olives and I get a derisory grunt from the woman. This is every time I go in. The younger staff are always super friendly though.

Wonderful , quirky,chilled vibe.Amazing vegetarian food , stunning array of coffees and teas . My personal fave is the super tasty mezze plates , unbelievable fresh and tasty . Cakes , muffins and super delicious GF options !! Staff vvv friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this hidden gem , Forgot to mention the handmade chocolates and chocolate from around the world!!! A real treat in every sense .

Freddie and I enjoyed a light lunch in this venue yesterday A bohemian delight of victorian coupled with an eclectic mixed of decor the venue specializes in vegetarian and vegan cuisine Beautiful coffee and two courses of vegetarian tortillas with vegan mince and mildly spiced salad for almost perfect ? My only reason for not awarding a 5* review was my mince lacked seasoning to my taste A magic place to while away and lunch and relay dinner Highly recommended

Molto caratteristico e ciao nei minimi particolari. Jo, la proprietaria, molto gentile e disponibile. Ottimo caffè da gustare anche con musica dal vivo.

I am truly devastated by my visit. I was so looking forward to trying their food but I quickly decided against it. You walk in to a very run down cafe. Clearly no more time and effort is put into it. Slight pungent odour in the cafe. I order a coffee so I could sit and ponder over the menu. The woman who served me wasn’t accommodating and looked rather put out that there was a customer in the cafe. Seeing I was the only one there I thought they would have been happy to help, there was my first red flag! I sat down with my coffee looking through a very basic menu when I herd a thud. I casually look around to find the woman picking a cake off the floor and picking debris off it. She clearly didn’t care because she put it back on display. I didn’t even finish my coffee. I just walked out. I would have said something but if that’s her attitude towards health and safety then you can only imagine her attitude towards someone pulling her on on it. And of course. Who’s to stop her doing it again? The sip of coffee I had wasn’t amazing. Barely like warm. No thank you. Want be going back again. I hope for everyone’s sake they never be allowed to do this again. If they can do this with cake what are they doing behind the scenes. AVOID!

I’m sorry to say. Not good. I think this place has not been well looked after. It was disappointing, the food the service and the coffee.

Had lunch - a feta filo pastry pie thing, and a potato cake thing, with salad. Beetroot latte was pretty. A small and pleasant place.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in the pretty back garden (down wooden staircase) sitting under gazebo. I chose quiche and mezze/ salad selection. Good coffee as always. Good to be able to bring dog who was given a bowl of water and treat! Friendly and kind staff.

Stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere, anywhere, to have a late lunch. So pleased we found it. Small place but so warm and friendly. The food we had was amazing. Considerate of people's eating preferences. Good tea too. I very much wish this place was in my home town. Strongly recommend.

Happened upon this coffee shop while walking past it seems so hidden to me. I popped in for a coffee and loved how quirky this place is it’s so cute. I ordered a soy cap to take away and it was honestly the best coffee I’ve found in wales! Can’t believe I’ve not seen it before. I now go here for my coffee all the time the service is lovely. I’ve not had food here yet but have heard it’s lovely so I’ll definitely be trying this out next. Oh and I love how they add real chocolate flakes on top of the cappuccino thank you kyffin.

Found this small vegetarian cafe by chance we are not vegetarian. Lovely welcoming staff, Cake and coffee was great, choice of coffee, teas and chai fantastic. They even became a favourite with the dog bowl of water and doggy biscuit. The decor is great truly original and very interesting. Defiantly going again.

Me and my husband were on holiday looking for somewhere to eat.this place is so nice inside loads of coffees and teas etc things to buy ie chocolate cookies cakes.i had a spinach pie with mixed beans salad homemade pickle ,potatoes the lady was so busy ran out of loads and still we had a lovely lunch .coffee was gorgeous.the lady was so accommodating and telling us about food.i had a takeaway cookie three pounds it was delightful in hotel room with a cuppa. Well worth a visit

Lovely cafe, nice food but the female manager spoilt the atmosphere by referring to a member of staff as her 'idiot assistant' - very unprofessional and not in keeping with the ethos of this cafe. We found the rest of the staff to be pleasant and helpful.

Friendly little cafe. Dogs are very welcome too. Had coffee and cake - really fresh and tasty. Lovely ambience and laid back music.

On the night we left the EU, we went to commiserate with like-minded friends in a place epitomising everything we have lost by leaving Europe. Kyffin Cafe Deli is a somewhere you sit down together with friends and strangers, and engage with each other, sharing delicious, international food and ideas. Food, decor, music, staff all beautiful. Hats off to Jo for her hard work bringing spice, colour and hope to Bangor High Street.

I hate to leave a negative review - however I did like the design and ambiance of this cafe, as well as the friendly staff and I hope my eating experience was an unfortunate "bad day" for this place.I ordered the sweet potato soup, as did my partner. I've had many variances of this soup and also have made my own, but this really was unfortunately unlike any soup I've had. It was a brown/grey broth with some limp discoloured looking vegetables sitting at the bottom. It was completely bland, no seasoning, no detectable spices. It was really like drinking hot water with stewed in onions. I'm still not sure where the sweet potato was, but I suspect it was the minutely chopped up vegetable running through the soup, though this was flavourless and not like any sweet potato I've experienced. Me and my partner were excited about the soup and had no reason for any predisposed negative attitude. We hadn't been looking forward to trying this cafe for some time. After our first mouthful we glanced at each other in shock. We made ample use of the salt and pepper and bread and attempted fairly silently to eat as much as possible as not to waste or seem rude. We also ordered two coffees with it meal which we ended up cancelling towards the end of our soup as it hadn't appeared in that time and by then we hoped to make a quick exit. This is the only meal I've had at this cafe and I hope I came on a bad day. I can only assume that the chef didn't get a chance to try the soup before serving it today. I'd love to go back again and try something else on the menu but it really hurt to pay £14 for these two awful soups, and it's not an experience I'd like to repeat. Sorry to leave a bad review! Everything else about the place was really nice. Decor, music, staff - lovely!

This was my second visit in as many months.Vegetarian cafe, serving a limited, but tasty, lunch menu, as well as breakfast, cakes, teas and coffees.Visited for lunch (delicious sweet potato tart and colourful salad), could not leave without sampling a coffee - spiced honey cappuccino comes highly recommended as does the sour cherry cookie.Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, would definitely recommend - hope to return soon.

The Kyffin Cafe is a great and rich place for imagination, food, and conversation - there are teas from all over the world, chocolates and treats sourced with great attention to sustainable and fairtrade producers, delicious organic and well cocked and high quality food, absolutely adorable staff, and a beautiful decoration ... we can only feel special at the Kyffin Sq Cafe!Jo, the owner is a genuine creative person and puts all her best talents into what she is doing.then the social aspect - is a community hub, and often you meet a stranger that is a neighbour and conversation happens!Loved the Opera Nights and supper clubs.

After visiting the Stone Lions at Pont Britannia I walked into Bangor and strangely for me rather than fancying a pint I fancied a latte and just happened to walk past Kyffin Cafe Deli and what a lovely place to have a relaxing coffee I found it to be - defo recommend

I was delighted to find this little piece of heaven in Bangor, although you would hardly expect to. Just when I thought that the High Street had been transformed into one long row of hairdressers, there it was!The owner,Jo, it turns out studied at the Uni here, many years ago, as had I and my friends who were visiting. Finally someone who could make a good cup of coffee, without the over-roasted carbon espresso beans made popular by the likes of Starbucks.Nice cake to go with it too.It was nice enough, that I went back for another visit just the next day, on my way to the train station. Lovely.I didnt see the dust or the dirt or long hair or stained menus that the "hater" was talking about in a prior review....I was too busy enjoying myself.

On a wet day of my holidays I ventured into Bangor for a few hours and found this delightful place. Coffee was extremely good and vast choice of cakes, cookies and chocolate. Also salads available if you’re hungry. The decor is quaint, small wooden tables with lots to look at and papers to read. Staff friendly and attentive.

Have been visiting Kyffin cafe deli for the past few months and without doubt it’s a wonderful place for morning coffee with a great choice of different coffees and teas . Some lovely cakes , cookies and biscuits are also available which go down so well with the grandchildren . There is also lunch available daily. Kyffin is also a dog friendly Cafe so you can bring your pooches along with you for morning coffee.

My first visit and enjoyable. I had a leek and potato tart with the spuds a little over done. Accompanying salas, cous cous, chick peas etc very nice too

Visiting Bangor for an event so thought we’d pop into Bangor for a look around beforehand and came across this coffee shop. Wonderful ambience here. Nice background music not too loud, bit of a student vibe going on but all ages in here. It was warm and cosy. The furniture and decor was just right. It was quite busy and the young guy running the place managed everyone’s orders perfectly There’s a variety of teas and coffees on offer and I was offered three different types of hot chocolate. There were also some delicious looking cakes and biscuits on offer. Definitely worth visiting again.

Great cakes and fantastic coffee. The staff are very friendly too. You must try the chocolate cake. Definitely going to be back again!

Why does your restaurant appear as number 11 in Bangor Northern Ireland? Suspect your map location is wrong . Hope this helps.

Lovely old fashioned setting for lunch or coffee.

A small vegetarian cafe with a limited but delicious selection of dishes from which to choose. The only missing item seemed to be a menu but just ask. A wide selection of coffee and teas are available. Service with a smile added to the ambience.

We had almost given up on finding a good cafe in pleasant surroundings , and with some empty seats, in Bangor when we found this lovely place.

This is a lovely tea room with a great ambience. The 1920s music and comfy chairs make it very relaxing. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They're very welcoming of dogs too. An amazing selection of teas. Would recommend.

We called in for lunch after passing many times before and were very glad we did. The dog was welcomed by the very friendly staff too. We both enjoyed that day's meze platter, a mix of salads, hummus, bread, olives, tabbouleh and pasta and rice salads, all very tasty and fresh. The generous plateful filled us up along with good unusual juice drinks. We finished off with a cake each, all making a great meal. The décor is a relaxed boho style with lovely stained glass windows in the building. They also have unusual chocolates (looked hand made) and other sweeties for sale to take away, and a huge variety of teas and coffees. Highly recommended, even if only for tea and cake.

I hadn't visited Kyffin in a while, but came for a family birthday lunch. Since becoming vegan there has been...

we just popped up for a cup of coffee during a walk on highstreet but we were attracted by delicious cakes...they tasted homemade and the coffee was perfect. the place is cosy , somehow bohémienne and the staff so sweet and friendly ..dogs are welcome and their presence makes all warmer and cheerful....we surely come back if in bangor again.

Con una hora de descanso, casi pierdo mi estilo de este elegante 20 30 Música parisina jugar wonder. Relajado y agradable, con muy buena atención al detalle. Limpia y aire limpio. Yo tenía su más fresca de aire anglesey Mezze, que era increíble. Opciones sin...

This place is quirky without being tacky and comfortable without being tired. Great food and tea options, and lots of interesting things to buy.

I had quite a bit of time to spare whilst waiting for a train and was very lucky to just come across Kyffin. The staff were lovely and didn't mind me spending a long time there and were happy to top up my pot of tea with hot water. The food looked lovely, but I had eaten a large breakfast and so only tried the pineappe cake, which was very good. If in Bangor again I would definitely return and recommend anyone visiting Bangor to go there, especially if you are vegetarian or vegan.

I had an hour to kill waiting to meet friends at the station during a stay in Bangor to attend a funeral on Ynys Môn. I walked past a number of chain cafés before I found Kyffin and was lured in by the sight from the window. I had my usual double macchiato with a point of almond and cherry cake made by Jo who runs the place. It was just perfect, not at all cloying with sweetness, the almonds spoke for themselves, as did the cherries and it was wonderfully moist. The coffee was excellent as well. Also on offer were a chocolate and cherry cake, pineapple cake and carrot cake all made by Jo and, I am sure, all equally lovely. Homemade lunched are also available with a good vegetarian range and the dishes that passed me looked very appetising. There's also a large range of things to buy to take away and I purchased some lovely Niederegger cherry marzipan.Jo was a delightful person, ably assisted by a very affable young man; but as it was getting busy for lunch by the time I was ready to pay and a former employee leapt into action and worked the cash register - now, if even former staff come back, the place must be good! Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful ambiance.

What a find ! Stopped here for lunch while walking the North Wales Pilgrim's Way . We had the broccoli and parsnip soup which was delicious . Staff were very friendly and we loved the unusual decor and vintage feel of the cafe . Bit pricey but it was quality .

Today's journey into Bangor had one main goal, to return to KYFFIN Vegetarian Restaurant. Along the main street, up from the clock tower. If your have never considered vegetarian food before, let the eating experience you will discover at Kyffin be a landmark. Their food is not only well prepared and healthy. It is imaginative. The surroundings are modest & tasteful, yet more so they are therapeutic to one's well-being. Unfortunately our experiences can at best give you a visual description. I would have loved to let you hear their choice of background music. Just perfect. Even the simplest choice from their menu is presented such that it could be seen as an injustice to eat it, it looks so good. I suppose the testimony to any good restaurant is that one leaves feeling better than on arrival. Kyffin continues to do that. Simply an excellent place to visit in Bangor

Lovely atmosphere, lovely coffee smell, tasty food including gluten free and friendly service. What more could we ask for!

Can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review actually because I come most days for at least a coffee. Very relaxing atmosphere, Jo and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and I'd consider them friends. Best coffee in town. Always a vegan choice on the menu. Everything is fresh and healthy. Often when you eat out it can be heavy on the grease but Kyffin food tastes and feels good. Even the cakes don't make you feel overindulgent despite tasting great. You could spend hours here. Love it, cheers Jo and staff :)

Kyffin is my favourite place to have lunch in Bangor, or indeed anywhere else! It's delicious home cooked vegetarian food that is packed with flavour and healthiness. The staff are always so helpful and friendly, and the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere makes this cafe a haven of calm. The choice of loose leaf teas is impressive, and the cake choice includes vegan and gluten-free options that all taste scrumptious. The shop includes an array of teas, coffee beans, chocolates and gourmet treats to take away, so there are lots of reasons for a visit.

I love this place. Cozy, great coffee, amazing food. All vegetarian, all fresh.It's hidden away, cute, and just rather nice and peaceful. Soft jazz and world music plays during the daytime.I didn't expect Bangor to have a place like this, but I'm so glad it does. Can be a little expensive if you go all out, but for the quality of what they offer it's definitely worth it.

Beautiful place, beautfiful food and beautiful people ! Limited choice but everything was fantastic . Will be back.

Popped in for a light lunch late on a Saturday afternoon and found the restaurant to be a wonderful place to sit and relax (newspapers provided) and eat from a varied and healthy selection of home-cooked food. So often disappointed at the 'take it or leave it' afterthought vegetarians are faced with, I was delighted with the menu at Kyffin and will be returning very often. Prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food. They even had a choice of milk (I'm dairy intolerant) which topped off the visit perfectly. Staff are very attentive and helpful. 100% recommended.

Lovely staff. Popped in for lunch and a coffee - jewel like displays of salads which we had with a mushroom and tarragon tart. It couldn't have been nicer. Great coffee.

had lunch with my boyfriend, i had the quiche, he had the soup. The portions were huge!!! and all good stuff! It was a shame that nobody spoke welsh there, as kyffin was a famous welsh artist, but a great lunch never the less.

Staff are friendly, food all homemade and absolutely delicious. I have visited on many occasions and it's consistently good. Only a minor comment: the seating could be a little more comfortable.

We visited Kyffin for lunch today with friends who recommended it. What a treat! The meze plate was delicious as was the goats cheese and leek tart that my husband had. He also said that his coffee was the best cup he had had in a while.On leaving I bought some lovely chocolate that I look forward to eating.Thanks Kyffin for a lovely lunch, in delightful surroundings, served by really nice people.

We stopped here to refuel after a bit of a slog from Caernarfon and before a long train journey home. The ambiance of the place drew us in immediately and we began to relax for the first time that day. The charm of the owner and staff was a significant ingredient. Welcoming, personable, enthusiastic and helpful without being over the top. The contentment of the diverse customers (solos, couples and a larger family) was evident. My partner follows a vegan diet, I eat a wider range of food; the only difficulty we found was in making up our minds what to order from the regular items and specials on offer. Oh, and that we were so blissed up by the great food and drinks and the lovely atmosphere that we lost track of the time, realised we had cut it a bit fine and, after settling the bill, had to hurry for the train!

We often pop into Kyffin's for lunch and are never let down. Today we had a spiced lentil lasagna. It was accompanied with a beautiful salad. Perfect.

Just came across this little cafe and would have walked past, but we spotted a notice that said they were dog friendly.Our three dogs were made very welcome and whilst they snoozed under the table we ate a fabulous mezze spread, followed by gluten free cake and coffee.Brilliant!Well done on having the courage to do something different.

I like good food and this cafe serves good food. It happens to be vegetarian but that doesn't matter. We had the meze and it was delicious. I demolished a huge plate and I loved it! Best meal I have had for ages. The combination of flavours, colours and tastes were great. Good coffee and really good chocolates. The cakes looked good although we didn't test then. The staff are nice and friendly and the surroundings are great. When the food is this good, who cares about wifi! Recommended.

We have visited Bangor regularly as our daughter attended the University and always wanted to try for a meal here. We finally got to visit this weekend and I am so sorry I didn't come here earlier! The menu is small but has a range of lovely fresh good quality meals which are generally vegetarian/ vegan or gluten free. I loved the vegetable soup and the sweet corn chowder which I had on our second visit. My daughter and husband had the veg shepherds pie which was full of fresh vegetables. We had to have a cake - great chocolate cake and I tried the polenta cake which was tasty with an unusual texture! There is a good range of different drinks available including a wide range of juices. Staff were very friendly and polite and the prices really reasonable. We just had to take some of the chocolate home from the range of sweets available too! Great visit and we look forward to coming in again when we next visit the area.

Visited on 1st July with my wife and our two dogs. Had fabulous mezze lunch and coffee with delicious slices of cake to follow. Made to feel immediately welcome ( as always) when bowl of fresh water arrived for dogs to enjoy. Ate in the rear sofa area in a relaxed , comfortable environment with softly playing mood music. Will return again and sit in the rear garden, when the weather allows it!

We Specifically sought out this cafe as I was looking for somewhere that catered for vegans. We were staying local to Bangor, and nipped here late morning prior to our Zipworld Velocity experience. We parked on the high street so only had 30 minutes, not too sure where you would park else wise. The cafe has a somewhat eclectic bohemian vibe. I thought the variety of speciality teas was great, I opted for the raspberry leaves and my daughter the lady grey. We decided to share a mezze vegan platter, which was a little lack lustre to be fair - a single falafel and a stuffed vine leaf, couscous, salad leaves, potatoes, half a stuffed tomato as well as a few other bits. I didn't notice any prices displayed so I'm unsure of the cost of each item. I had high hopes but personally don't feel that what we had was value for money.

Los propietarios muy amables, atentos en todo momento, ambiente muy tranquilo y muy bien decorado. Ideal para hacer un te relajadamente de la larga lista que tienen para ofrecerte. Totalmente recomendado!

Very relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff.Great range of vegetarian food. Not cheap but good value for money.

Tea was great, very tasty, and the people working there were very nice :). Its a good place for tea time after going for a walk, it's in a very centric location. Best thing though was: the music!

I found this place online, after looking for a vegan-friendly restaurant, during our stay in nearby Caernarfon. What a lucky find! As it was a lovely afternoon, we sat in the sunshiine in the garden, whIch we were pleasantly surprised to find at the back of the restaurant. My daughter and I had a delicious vegan mezze platter, and my Mum (who isn't vegan) tried and enjoyed the vegan spiced lentil lasagne, which came with assorted salads. Everything was really tasty and plentiful. I just had room for a piece of vegan mango cake, while my Mum tried the vegan rhubarb and ginger slice. Again, both were delicious, and the coffee was great too. The staff were very friendly and helpful We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and will definitely return when we next come to Caernarfon. Thank you!

I never knew this place existed until today, what a shame I didn't know about it before! So much more than you can see from the street! Had a cappuchino and cake but saw some lovely lunch options too. Will need to go back to eat! Highly recommended. Very friendly member of staff welcomed us in and took our order and chatted with us for a while. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options and a place that is obviously very conscious of the environment/fair trade/organic food and quality. Lovely decor. Very glad I decided to go in :)

All we wanted was a cup of tea - but what a cup of tea we got! Popped in with my two boys & we were treated to a bewildering range of teas.We settled on Breakfast, Russian Caravan & Nettle which came served in generous individual pots. The cafe had a wonderful relaxed ambiance and I hope this is our first of many visits ( especially as I notice that we can take the dogs & they do vegetarian food!)

Visited on numerous occasions in 2015/16 with our two golden retrievers.Always made to feel welcome, with water for dogs immediately offered.Food is very interesting, varied, delicious and good value.Lovely little garden in the rear when north wales weather allows!

Another fantastic supper club where Jo and her team takes us to India from the moment we arrived greeted by the waiter with a genuine welcome to take us to our table. Should mention that they have a beautiful first floor restaurant space decorated to the theme. You can tell that Jo is not only a fantastic chef but draws on her interior design skills to create the ambience.The starter of Samosas was served with tomato chutney, Gujarati salad and pea and apple chutney presented on a plate of woven dried banana leaves. Fantastic flavours and stunning presentation followed by a vegetarian Thali made up of eight different components of very delicate flavoured combinations, finished off with a chilli Kulfi (homemade ice cream) with fresh fruit. A refreshing finish to a well put together menu.A fantastic and relaxing evening with greate customer care and food that challenges your taste buds taking vegetarian food to a new dimension here in North Wales.

only vegetarian food available, limited choice but the food available is very tasty, the staff are above average, nothing too much trouble, not very spacious so can feel a bt cramped when full, avoid peak lunch time on a Saturday if you can,

Kyffin is hands down the best café that my partner and I have ever been to in our entire lives, to start with, all of the staff are amazing. They are all very friendly, helpful and always smiling, Jo is also a lovely lady who is always putting her customers first. Whenever we go to Kyffin it is always a relaxing, indulgent atmosphere with amazing music and a wonderfully unique and charming interior. We love all of the charm of Kyffin and its food and service is world class. We first found Kyffin a few months ago and since then have not gone to any other café/ coffee shop as nothing compares to the standard of Kyffin! As vegetarians it is very difficult to find a vegetarian/vegan café, yet alone one that is so amazing! The food is to die for! Every single meal that my partner and I have had has been outstandingly delicious, the cooks are just phenomenal and we also love the fact that everything is freshly grown and prepared, each day. Everything is delicious, from the Mezze to their array of tarts and soups, all incredible! The cakes are also scrumptious, as well as their breads (all home made!) as well as the coffee's, teas, and hot chocolates are the best we have ever had also. I cannot say enough good things about Kyffin, as it is such an amazing little café. This evening we also went to their supper club which was PHENOMINAL! Such amazing food, delicious, flavoursome and absolutely delightful. If you want to have an amazing food experience, go to Kyffin, it is such an amazing place.

Yet again another fantastic evening...Kyffin just goes from strength to strength...we have been visiting this restaurant regularly without fault...the addition of the supper club is just another monthly treat for the palette..The four course themed menu works so well and as a chef myself I appreciate that Jo really pushies flouvour compinations and is always coming up with new dishes or a twist on old favourites....it's great to get the monthly mailing and the new menu for the supper club.Highley recommend....

I love vegetable lasagne. It may be my favorite food, so when I saw it on the menu outside of Kyffin I had to try it. On a student budget, the 2-digit marked out price made me cringe a little, but I reasoned that, as a vegetarian, I'm happy to be supporting a specialist vegetarian/vegan restaurant and I'd heard a lot of good things about Kyffin. But wow, I was so disappointed... Initially, the interior decor set a nice atmosphere and a generally comfortable environment. But when it arrived, the 'lasagne' was luke warm, sticky, and flavourless. It had no kind of tomato sauce, or any sauce at all to speak of, besides a thin layer of some entirely bland, sticky white goo on the the top. It was like eating a lump of plain boiled, sticky pasta and a few lukewarm floppy vegetables, with a mountain of strangely complied salad-vegetables and fruits invading most of the plate and the more I ate, the more of the watermelon and beetroot juice from the mound seeped its way into the sticky pasta sheets. So by halfway through the meal, watermelon-pasta was the only flavour coming through, and I couldn't even finish it (and I REALLY hate wasting food)And to top it, my jasmine tea was too hot to drink... Jasmine tea should be brewed at 70C, and this tea was boiling when i received it. By the time it was cool enough to drink, it was revoltingly bitter and over-steeped. I didn't bother to complain, since I couldn't even imagine where to start, or how it could all possibly be rectified. My partner was equally as dissatisfied with his food too. So sorry kyffin, but due to an all-around awful first impression, I don't believe i'll be back.

I really wanted to try some choad because i heard from my estate agent (Louise) that it was great at Kyffin - as well as being suitable for vegetarians. This was the place to go! Best vegetarian choad any of us had tried.

And beetroot juice soaking into my pita. It was strange and definitely not a good combination. Would have preferred the salad on a separate plate from the pita.

This café is so cool! All welcomed by friendly staff; has cosy sofas and plenty of tables and chairs in comfortable surroundings; offers a good choice of tasty home-made dishes; and is good value! Thank you all at the Kyffin for a delicious lunch - well done!l

I visited this lovely cafe twice on a recent trip to Bangor and each time had lovely food and great coffee all served with charm. Cakes were delicious, especially the chocolate and beetroot and the tiffin cake, think I got them right, and the coffee was delicious.

This place makes vegan look seriously cool ! Season produce used to make amazing food that will stay in memory for ever !! Oh and the sooo many different teas !! The place has been done up so well, I could just go and spend hours in there with a cuppa and a book to read.. ♡

Discoverd this Deli/Caffe by accident. Had a really good Vegan lunch. All there food was vegetarian with a choice of dishes that could be made vegan , all home made and tasty. I had a meze, an assortment that included hummus, beetroot salad, chickpeas, minted pea purée, couch a mixed salad and a wedge of delicious bread. There was to follow a figgy slice vegan again. This was one very happy diner as here in North Wales it is a struggle as a vegan to be able to eat out well.

Fooled into thinking this was still a clothes shop a friend recommended this cafe and I was very pleased he did. Once inside one could wonder if it still was a clothes shop or a sweet shop. a cafe or a gallery but it is a melange of all these elements and very pleasing it is. Good coffee and a short menu of vegetarian dishes and salads and some lovely looking cakes is what you get. Efficient and very pleasant staff, some interesting music, tasty food. and a civilised atmosphere - what more could you want. Very good indeed

What a great find! Kyffin is a lovely vegetarian cafe with plenty of vegan options. I loved the decor and the food was everything that I wanted - fresh, healthy, affordable, and the portions were very generous. Very friendly service too. Will be coming back whenever I'm in the area!

We found Kyffin quite by chance and we're delighted to find such an atmospheric vegetarian cafe in Bangor. The food is vegetarian and heavily influenced by Moroccan cuisine. The tagine and mezze were very tasty and the kids enjoyed a potato tart. There was a lovely range of cakes and sweets and drinks.

Fabulous meal, such imaginative and tasty vegetarian food & the upstairs room is lovely. Great service also by the 2 young waiters

This is a beautiful cafe. The interior is so interesting with all its jars full of intriguing sweets and chocolates and its displays of tea and coffee, not to mention the beautiful decor.The service is very friendly and relaxed. The two types of vegan cake we had (mango, chocolate) were delicious and the perfect accompaniment to the refreshing tea we were served. The cafe is beautiful, I cannot praise it highly enough and I just wish we weren't only in Anglesey for a week so we could visit more often!

Lovely vegetarian food, very large portions, great coffee and wonderful friendly service. Large selection of teas and desserts.

We went to the special supper club last night to celebrate my husbands Birthday. We had a fabulous night. The upstairs room was beautifully decorated. The staff were all fantastic. I can not praise the food enough all the courses were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Fantastic atmosphere. It's got to be my most favourite place to eat and I don't just mean in Bangor. At the end of the meal they brought my husband a big chocolate cake with a candle in it,which was so kind of them. Can't praise this place enough.

Just wanted to leave another rave review for this wonderful cafe. We love the food, tea and vibe at Kyffin and would sooner go there than anywhere else in Bangor

We drove up from Brighton to attend the 70th birthday of our friend Crys Pearce. From the very outset the restaurant was welcoming and smiling. The staff were lovely and participated from a distance enjoying the piano playing and the speeches. The table settings were artistic and pleasing; the starters were superb... a little filling, which didn't leave enough room for the spicy curry and yummy orange cake. All in all it was well worth the trip. At no stage did the staff hurry us along or behave as if anything was too much trouble. Thank you for a great evening.

Have been here regularly, which reminds me of the little towns in France.Not only fresh and healthy food, but also a cozy and colourful atmosphere available.My daughter loves their cute little chocolates!

We travelled from Llandudno and it was definitely worth the drive. Fantastic food, great service and beautiful decor. I'm so glad we found you! We will now be regulars!

The ethos of Kyffin's owner Jo runs through every aspect of this beautiful and inspiring little cafe. As well as good coffee, a fantastic range of loose leaf teas and delicious vegan and gluten free cakes, there is a warm welcome to be had. We really loved listening to Jo and enjoying what Kyffin had to offer. We thoroughly recommend this place.

we went to our first supper club here last night and thought it was the best veggie meal we had had in a restaurant - imaginative and delicious. Four courses all delicious and served by two charming and helpful but unintrusive ladies. Background music was at just the right level and set the right ambience. we will return!

This was the latest 'supper club' (last Friday of each month) at Kyffin.The atmosphere is particuarly relaxing, ambient and welcoming. A warm, jazzy and eclectic environment which makes you instantly feel at ease and glad you came. The welcome from Jo and her staff is lovely- they were engaging and attentive , friendly and genuine. The food - 4 courses (the set menu changes each month) which consisted of:> Savoy Dolmas of wild rice and leeks in truffle oil served on a bed of braised cannellini beans with thyme and rosemary>Celeriac soup with walnut and green pepper salsa and goat cream cheese>Aubergine and leek chilli with polenta gnocchi and limed sour cream>Sticky ginger bread pudding with brandy sauce.....Every course was DELICIOUS, decent portions and just yummy :) We couldn't have asked for a nicer evening or more satisfying meal. We will definitely return Jo and Co and bring friends next time. Everyone - go to Kyffin...veggies you'll be in heaven and non-veggies won't be missing meat!

i am neither vegan nor vegetarian but enjoy this little cafe, food is good healthly and wholesome , the only thing that lets this little cafe down is general cleanliness i sat near the till and was very tempted to write my name in the inch thick dust on it and when the owner ( jo i think her name is ) leans into the counter fridge to retrieve salad , olives etc her shoulder length flyaway hair dangles everyone ( and yes she does wear a thin Alice band ) but her hair is still everywhere and then preps it on the counter behind her , even her staff with the dreadlock hair is tidier and secure ( and looks great ) a simple elastic band or headscarf would do the trick, only a small pointer but just doesnt look great when watching and waiting for your food to arrive, but all in all will still use this great little cafe ( also i think you need to re- do your coffee and tea menu (on the till )they have seen much better days !!!!!

It is always difficult to find good vegetarian/vegan food in a restaurant, however having a restaurant that serves nothing but veggie/vegan food is an absolute boon. This place is an absolute must to visit in Bangor if you want veggie/vegan food. OK the space is a little cramped but for me that only adds to the ambience. Service is very friendly and the staff are very knowledgable. I certainly do not find this restaurant 'expensive', in fact I think it is very good value for money considering all the cakes and food are genuinely 'homemade'. Monthly a 'supper club' is held, been a few times, and the food has always been excellent, and very good value for money. If you are a vegan then the menu will be adapted for you with no quibbles (but need to inform them when you order).

I really like sitting in this cafe with a cup of black coffee, enjoying a slice of cake, reading the paper and listening to the choice of either french / latin smooth jazz music :-)The service is always friendly and efficentOnly thing I don't like is that it's too expensive...£5> for coffee and cake :-( but still doesn't stop me fro going there.

Usually have a brownie, or mixed cake which are both gluten free, along with beautiful salads.Selection of Tea, is the best in North Wales

Had a great surprise in Bangor, I only had 20 minutes to grab some food and happened upon Kyffin Cafe. I had a really tasty and filling vegetarian salad in the Cafe garden in glorious sunshine. The Cafe was full of character and the staff were polite and helpful. I would definitely eat there again.

This plain looking café venue opened up into an Aladdin’s cave of fine Veggie/Vegan meal offerings, once inside, as well as having rows of shelves and the counters piled up with all forms of vegetarian/vegan produce too….. The counter assistant was helpful and carefully explained the [Vegan] dishes with the complimentary accompaniments on offer….The well warmed “cheese” and “onion” pie, was nicely complemented by a number of couscous, beetroot, bean, carrot, sweet corn containing side dishes, all washed down with a very pleasant bottle of tasty organic cider….It was also nice to sit peacefully [without any noisy mindless muzzac] and look at all the produce on sale; both on the counter and also filling the shelves up to the ceiling alongside your table….NB I’m not a Vegan but the overall meal experience and café ambience was still outstanding….

Finally a veggie/vegan cafe in Bangor! A little tucked away eden full of scrumpy food, cakes, tea selection and more! Lovely, helpful staff and a chilled atmosphere :) Pop in for lunch or their supper evenings (last Friday of each other month). You won't be disappointed :)

Had a fabulous lunch today! Many of my family have eaten here in the past but being a non vegetarian with severe allergies to beans, pulses and cheese I wasn't sure there would be much! I was wrong! Staff were great and prepared me a delicious selection (mezze) of dishes and some lovely bread. No reactions at all! Thank you very much, I will be back very soon!
