Llyn Brenig Cafe in Conwy

This is my second visit and I’m so impressed with the venue, a great place for anyone who loves the great outdoors. Brilliant activities including a beautiful swing park. The cafe is brilliant, their breakfasts are delicious. Great to see LYN BRENIG/ DWR CYMRYU

Says on Google Maps opening times for the Cafe are until 4pm, so we drive over an hour to arrive here at 2:45pm for light lunch on a sunny Saturday in Feb. Loads of people in the car park, paid a few quid to park- No mention when you drive in of updated closing times, machine happily takes your money. Walk in, there's a queue of over 10 people waiting to be served (good sign that it's popular!), wait a few minutes, queue is growing behind us and the girls are pretty slow. When we get there, they tell us they will make a drink only, no food after 2pm, & they close at 3pm. Lot of frustrated people being turned away, chattering about how ridiculous it is to close so early and turn away so much business on a weekend. In total we saw about 20 people while we sat there with our coffees come in, question it, then leave frustrated. Recommend the Cafe page updates their Google Maps opening times during winter months to reflect the early closing times, so people don't drive out that way only to be turned away. And have a sign outside about the shorter opening hours - Unless of course the site is happily enjoying the parking fees it collects from people only finding out inside that the Cafe is closed and leaving.

Lovely breakfast! £10.95 is great value compared to a lot of other places where you would get half as much for possibly £5-£8 more. Such a beautiful setting and the staff were really friendly. My only criticism was that the water in my cappuccino tasted a little bit funny but other than that it was spot on. Will be visiting more often from now on. Keep up the good work! 🙂👍

The Brenig is beautiful. Really nice roads to drive on. The views are amazing. You can fish at the alwen which is close to by for trout. Hire boats which is really fun. Cafe is nice and really clean and respectful nice cakes and a banging hot chocolate.

Cafe is located alongside the brenig lake.so a lovely location.Cafe was quiet when we were there.We had two breakfasts which were nothing special,coffee was nice though.You need to pay to park here.

Top place, lovely cheese on toast 😋

The views are fantastic. The breakfast was burnt, cold and hard, it looks like the food is cooked at the beginning of the morning and just served though the morning as bought.

Very disappointed to find we couldn’t have hot food after 2pm. Waited in a big queue to be served and when we got to head of queue to order @ 14.05 we were told the kitchen was closed. There is nowhere else nearby to eat and we were very hungry after cycling round both lakes. Cafe doesn’t actually close until 4pm so seems crazy to close kitchen 2 hours before cafe closes, also it was a bank holiday and very busy. Not sure we will ride here again as left very hungry and had to make do with a garage sausage roll as we didn’t want the cake that was on offer at the cafe.

I arranged to bring a group of advanced motorcyclists for breakfast. I had sent a list of breakfast orders but never expected the level of service we received. 18x people with various orders, all watered and fed ,and thinking about leaving within 30 minutes. All the food was hot and good. Top job by all the staff. Thanks

We were there at a quiet time but have eaten here on many occasions. Breakfast is good quality and reasonably priced. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Lovely place if you happen to pass by, good food great view clean and warm, please t shop to have a look around, staff all very happy to help and kind plus polite

Fair price and open all year. And a nice setting

Lovely long walk with kids around Alwyn reservoir. Then walked around Llyn Brenig and had lunch in the cafe. Kids played on park. Fantastic walk and beautiful scenery

Very nice food very nice service and atmosphere 👍

Really enjoyed it, plenty of choice, well presented and tasty breakfast. Staff where very pleasant and polite.

Lovely cafe,nice staff dogs allowed on the terrace

Great food served by friendly staff with beautiful views, what more could you ask for. Added bonus is the local produce and gift shops on the same level as the cafe.

Lovely food and friendly staff . Came in at 20 past 12 hoping for breakfast but they said breakfast only before 12. Also needs to be dog friendly save us eating in the rain…

£3 parking fee to go to a cafe? No thanks

Didn't have much food but was good, this place is on route to the dam we visited last year and wot a great find it is. I love it here and we'll go again very soon

Fantastic breakfasts and bacon butties. Reasonable prices too.

Very clean, food didn't take too long to come. Food choice was quite limited though. Great views across the lake.

Only dropped in for a cuppa n slice of cake. This is my 3rd visit and on this occasion didn’t meet my expectations. Mid morning, schools on holiday and not busy. The cafe lacked cleanliness, it felt like you had arrived after an extremely busy hour, as mentioned this was mid morning. My next moan was the cup of dishwater tea. The tea bag had obviously been taken out of the mug before it had stood a while. I like a strong cup of tea and expect the tea bag to be left in for me to remove. My final one was car parking! What’s happened to the photo image being displayed when you enter your registration and why isn’t the free first hours parking displayed at the pay point? Parking notices dotted around the car park but one in Welsh and the next one in English, why aren’t dual language signs used as in many other Welsh car parks. I don’t mind paying my £3 parking and supporting the upkeep of the lake but how many others call in for refreshments and unwittingly pay for parking when it’s not necessary.

Very limited menu. Sandwich bread stale

Very nice place to visit, café is good and plenty of parking 🅿️

Great coffee n cake, friendly staff

Lovely lunch with quick service in an idyllic location. Seeing the ospreys was the icing on the cake.

Really good food. Value for money. Friendly staff and excellent service.

This fully accessible café has a great view over Llyn Brenig. The food we had was very nice but the menu was very limited, the building design, its setting and lovely atmosphere deserving more than was available.

Was a very welcome sight after our walk. Lovely food in a delightful setting. The pasties were huge, piping hot and delicious. The staff were very friendly.

I wish I could take the restaurant with me 😂. Visited with students from Birmingham and we enjoyed the food so much ❤️❤️❤️

Superb cafe amazing coffee, great food, and a very friendly atmosphere

Never tire of going up to the Brenig. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Really enjoy watching the Osprey and it is so relaxing there.

Great service , very welcoming and looked after the VW club very well , food was lovely. Massive thank you to all the staff from all of us at North Wales Dubberz

Lovely place with great food and amazing views, and a lovely shop that is great for gifts. We loved eating here and will definitely be back!
