Pebbles in Gwynedd

On approach to the tea room, the woman shouted "were closed!", with a snarl on her face and palm up ushering us away - our presence was clearly a huge inconvience. Surely a simple - "sorry were closed now, but we're back open again tomorrow between x and y times" isn't too much to ask for? Had we been treated correctly, we would have gladly returned the next day. We understand that things are tricky with Covid, however you should surely being doing all you can to gain returning custom, not driving people away with rudeness.If you don't like people, don't work in customer service. It's that simple.

Visited recently but was horrified at the level of customer service. Not sure why anyone would choose to run a cafe/restaurant when they clearly don’t like people. Won’t be returning!

Terrible customer service from the lady on the counter. Very expensive. Will not return or recommend.

Pebbles hot chocolate pricey but delicious, previously visited on annual trip to Wales and as our original plans for breakfast were altered due to a covid closure we walked from the centre of Tywyn to the beach front as we were confident Pebbles would be a great alternative from past experience, sadly the staff this year were incredibly rude, we experienced horrendous customer service so won’t be returning or recommending. The passive aggressive staff member screeched at people continually to collect their orders and shouted at potential customer for parking (nowhere near) the driveway for the cafe, very embarrassing! Couldn’t drink up and get away fast enough! Highlight was the cute pigeon in the garden!

Having visited here before Covid hit we had always received excellent service and plentiful delicious food, hence why we revisited time and again. However this time we were bitterly disappointed. We ordered two filled jacket potatoes and two coffees at a cost of over £18, ok so a little on the hefty side for jacket potatoes but on previous visits there had always been plenty of filling and salad and extras on the plate so all in all worth the money. However this visit we received our jacket potatoes in polystyrene boxes (Covid rules so we accept that) but there was very little filling and no salad. I understand the pandemic has left small businesses struggling, but I felt to charge us full price for such a meagre amount of food was taking advantage of the customer. When asked we were told that the salad was off the menu due to Covid restrictions, but they still charged full price! Not a great way to entice customers to return! I would NOT recommend them anymore, which is a shame because we used to go here all the time and I will miss it, but I will only be burned once!

Hi visited Pebbles on a lovely sunny day and sat outside - only had a drink and a toasted sandwich - but it was lovely and the staff was so friendly and helpful - had a look inside and it was lovely and the downstairs is dog friendly which was a very big plus - will be back very soon

Absolutely delicious cream tea and Welsh tea my two children were unsure which of the amazing deserts they wanted staff were very patient. Service was fast and very polite and sociable even though they were busy. Just lovely decor and atmosphere. Toilet available kept beautifully and a baby changing facility available. Really enjoyable experience and ambiance Thankyou felt like a real treat. Would recommend.

Stumbled across this gem on a day trip to Tywyn. Lovely venue. With attractive tables inside and out. Food was gorgeous. My party had a mixture of dishes - sandwiches, jackets and salads. All were well presented and generously portioned. I’d highly recommend the crab. Desserts to die for!!!

We visited with three teenagers Who couldn’t eat afterwards. The staff were lovely and the deserts we ordered were AMAZING. The decor of the cafe is lovely. No need for a main course!

Called in here with many family members having discovered it last year when on holiday. Tea, coffee, hot water and lemonade just what we wanted.

Would recommend if you are in the area -only popped in for drinks and the milkshakes are amazing. Great decor and very clean -well worth a visit !

On arrival there were quite a few dirty tables, which can happen (people leaving at once). Though more concerning was the amount of food left on plates. When ordering at the counter and trying to make conversation, I was made to feel like an inconvenience by the owner who said she would rather be else where than working on a Sunday. Toastie was over loaded with cheese, the salad was overpowered with thick, inedible dressing. Choice of cold drinks was good. Would not return or recommend.

Absolutely beautiful sandwiches and cream tea served by the friendly staff. I sat outside in the well kept sunny garden. The pefect stop off when in Tywyn or passing through on the coast road.

We arrived at Pebbles unexpectedly, thinking we would pop in for a quick sandwich! Opted for the Cream Tea. Wow! Three meals in one! Sandwiches with a healthy helping of dressed salad, warm and soft scone and four mini cakes to finish! Beautifully presented, we all had coffee instead of tea and the staff were friendly and very sensibly steered us away from the freaky shake we were also going to order. Would 100% come again!

I came here after reading previous reviews that mentioned that they offer gluten free cream teas. This is not specifically on their menu but I was delighted to here they still offer gluten free scones and some gluten free cakes. Down stairs is also dog friendly which is a real bonus!!Simply delicious and will definitely be going back again!

Stumbled across this little treasure whilst driving up the Welsh Coast. We saw huge sandwiches, but we opted for a Cream Tea, which was not only a bargain compared to some we've had in the south West, but a fabulous cream tea. Yes I've had thicker scones and even some with a subtle hint of cinnamon, but these were really tasty and so well presented. Going an extra mile with strawberries etc. We ate in the garden space, but the real charm of this place is inside with clever floral/ceramic arrangements and cutesy decor.

Visited this lovely place today in the glorious sunshine. We had the strawberry nickerbocker glory, we weren't disappointed. Lovely fresh strawberries, will definitely be returning, especially as they are now doing sandwiches and cream scones too. Gluten free options as well 😊

I arrived late morning and enquires whether I was too early for a cream tea. The enthusiastic response was that you are never too early for scones and cream. Nicely served with lashings of cream and jam and China tea cup. Well worth the £5. Also dogs allowed in downstairs.

I love going here for a cream tea, beautifully served on china, and loads of cream and jam. Made wonderful by sitting in the garden overlooking the seafront.

Beautiful warm sunny day and sat in the pleasant garden Coffee was lovely with a choice of hot or cold milk. Sponge cake delicious and served beautifully. Added bonus was the doggy ice-cream they stock for our 2, very hot, mini schnauzers. Lovely staff too.

What a great place on the front, it was a sunny day and we enjoyed knickerbocker glories. They do various flavours with fresh fruit - Strawberry and Raspberry which we tried with proper cream and syrup at the bottom to fish out. It brought back great memories of childhood and was something we will definitely do again soon.

Beautiful sunny Easter Sunday afternoon - lucky to find a table outside.. I enjoyed delicious crab sandwiches and my husband had a ploughmans with a lovely selection of cheeses on.. Good service Would return

Had a lovely cream tea at this lovely tea room. My husband and I had walked from aberdovey on a hot and sticky day. I was suffering a bit as my new trousers had chafed my leg and I was not looking forward to the return journey. The staff couldn’t have been more kind and helpful. They supplied me with a large supply of plasters free of charge and I made it back, pain free! Thank you once again

Wow ,was presently surprised at the quaint little place .not been for at least two years and it is definitely an improvement.place very clean and decor lovely clouts with quirky little decoration cups and saucers with flowers all around.definitely go back again. Friendly staff and had chocolate with lovely marshmallows and cream on .very nice and my daughter had a chocolate drip cake which I had a a spoonful which was also tasty.

We visited today for the first time whilst at our caravan . We had 2 dogs with us who were welcomed inside and even treated to a biscuit. The owner was extremely welcoming and the cream scone was to die for !!

Sitting looking over the bay, enjoying lovely food and drinks with the grandchildren was brilliant, the staff were also brilliant,chatting to the children and looking after all of us perfectly. The drinks and cakes were lovely and reasonably priced, we will definitely return when in the area.

I love this little tea room, with views looking out to the sea and plenty of options whether you're after a spot of lunch or a sweet treat. I would highly recommend coming here, especially for the Death By Chocolate! Delicious

7 & a dog in our party, all had a sandwich and some had ice cream sundaes. All served by lovely friendly staff. Everything was perfect. Food was yummy. Thank you Pepples

Well decorated and very friendly staff. The location of the cafe is good with nice views of the sea front. The menu has a good selection. Our lunch was very well presented and tasted great.

I decided to treat my daughter to afternoon tea and chose Pepples although had never been before- I thought the price for afternoon tea seems high until they bought it out- great value for money, beautifully presented and very fresh and tasty, they said if we couldn’t finish it then they would bag it up and they were right - highly recommend and will be back soon.

Visited here yesterday after reading reviews. My 15 yo had egg mayo with a good side salad and afternoon tea. I had ham salad with scone and coffee. Scones are served with strawberry dressing and the ladies come out to give your dog a little treat. It all looks clean and organised because I work in catering I was scanning what I could see for good practices. The garden is is set along side a nice pub and it’s all enclosed, so paddy paws and children are safe. There is seating inside and upstairs but didn’t see how many upstairs but there are about 3 large tables down. Disabled toilet is available, which looked clean.

Staff very welcoming, polite and helpful. Dog friendly. Delicious food and drinks, hubby said that it was the best coffee that he had tasted in a long time. I loved their not chocolate drink. Service was excellent.

A lovely little cafe with outside seating. Delicious food. We had sandwiches. Which were so much more than a sandwich. The staff were very friendly. Bonus. It's also dog friendly

Walked by this little gem of a place when in Tywyn with Nan and young children.

Pebbles staff went above and beyond to ensure that my last hen party my last hen party treat was perfect. Beautiful afternoon tea and perfect hosts.

Stopped by with the dog today. Lovely lunch. Staff so friendly and gave our dog treats. Lunch was fantastic. Great value.

We popped in for lunch. Staff were very welcoming and explained there would be around a 10 minute wait for food. Food was served promptly and was lovely. Not the cheapest but certainly a reasonable price and very good quality.

Well , a lovely friendly atmosphere. Quality tasty food , and such a choice . Such lovely staff. A must go again. I see why our friends walk from Aberdovey with their dog ,for a tasty toasted Ham and cheese snack most weekends .

Hottest day of the year and this tea room was most welcome. Set back off the promenade in its own garden this is a lovely place to sit and unwind. Dog friendly too. Lots of water bowls and shaded area.Don't know if dogs are allowed inside.

This is a real gem. Such a pretty place and spotlessly clean. Food is lovely , I had a ploughman’s plenty of variety on it and very fresh , it was one of the best ones I’ve had in a long time. Desserts looked amazing , I was too full but my companion said her Eaton mess was really good . Well worth a visit.

Traditional High Tea is as good as anywhere and better value than most. More than we could eat - they very happily bagged up almost half of the sandwiches and cakes for us to take home for later. One of our companions has a gluten allergy and she was most impressed by the range and quality of gluten free alternatives. Her 'te; matches ours in every way fro variety, freshness and quality.

This tea room located on Tywyn sea front is lovely. Their quality and presentation of food is lovely. All staff are friendly and caring. We do visit regularly

Visited for lunch and was very pleased to find that our dog was welcome in the downstairs dining area. Had some great sandwiches on lovely fresh bread in very pleasant surroundings.

Fabulous place for a light snack. Their pebbles milkshakes are a must have and their sandwiches are fresh, plenty of filling and come with crisps and side salad. Prices are reasonable and service is brilliant.

Fantastic food and excellent service A* Afternoon tea of sandwiches, salad & strawberry cream scones 😄 Located right on the seafront

Today((March 24th 2018),this little gem has re opened after a complete revamp...where you can now sit upstairs in tastefully decorated surroundings and enjoy fresh,delicious food overlooking the sea....today we sampled bacon and brie sandwiches,followed by scones with jam and cream,which were presented well and tasted superb...(a cream tea comprising of a pot of tea,with 1 big fruit scone,lashings of jam and cream @£5.00 a head is excellent value) and i highly recommend.This is the first of many visits....thankyou to the owner Lesley and staff who were friendly and very welcoming..... You have done an excellent job with the reverb.

Enjoyed a lovely slice of cappuccino cake (which was gluten free) an a blustery day; nice cup of tea and warm welcome too. See you again soon.

👍👍👍👍 Open the beginning of March till the end of October for got and snacks and Ice creams galore

During a fleeting visit to Tywyn my wife spotted this great little tea rooms and we decided to sit outside with our baby daughter (plenty of room).

While walking along the Promenade this is a good place to stop for a well earned rest! Good flat access, family and dog friendly Lovely setting and good location.

We had two visits to this tea room during our holiday. First time cake and tea/iced coffee on the terrace, second time lunch during a rainy day.

The husband had always been wary of afternoon teas for fear of coming away hungry. No danger of that here. We'd intended to go to the pub next door, based on Google reviews but when we got there it looked pretty grim. So we popped into Pebbles and were pleasantly surprised by tasty soft white bread like my nana used to bake and one of the best egg mayos I've ever had. The littlest had ham, the biggest and the husband had chicken and mustard mayo. All delicious. The husband and I got the full afternoon tea at £13. The cakes were fabulous, salad fresh and the fruit sweet. And there was plenty to share between the four of us and us all come away stuffed. (£35 for two kids sandwiches, a bottle of water and two large afternoon teas- not that expensive in my view).

Came for lunch while we were on holiday. We thought it looked charming from the outside and the inside was quite nice too. There were 4 of us, we chose 4 plates of sandwiches, there being little else to choose from on the savoury menu,...

The staff at Pebbles gave us a wonderfully warm welcome. Cake was served, a bit like the Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba; simply awesome. Can truly recommend the gateaux and the ice creams are a construction that have to be seen to be believed....

Very quaint tea shop with a garden over looking the sea. Nice selection of cakes and ice creams. A great...

Perfecto después de un paseo por la playa. Precioso capuchino, huevo, mayonesa y sándwiches de Cangrejo con ensalada de patatas fritas sabrosas y preciosa. Incluso un pequeño capricho para nuestro perro! Personal amable, sin duda lo recomiendo.

Enjoyed a good cup of coffee in this charming cafe. It is quite close to the beach so very handy when walking along the seafront.

Camping near by, we visited Tywyn in need of a cuppa, and we found one, what a fabulous little place Pebbles is, lovely warm welcome, and AMAZING cream tea for 3, the lovely lady even brought out a treat for the dog. Very highly recommended

Popped in for coffee and cake and found it lacking atmosphere and not very welcoming. We had the ginger and lemon cake which was dry and tasted very artificial, a bit like lemon sherbet.

A really nice little cottage right on the sea front, we sat outside on a nice sunny day in June, there are seats inside but we had our dog with us. I had a Coffee and a slice of cake and the wife had a juice drink and some cake. The cake was really nice. The drinks and cakes were brought out to us and even brought two free dog biscuits out for the dog.We thought this was a really nice gesture.

Lovely old building, nice cuppa and cake, but £5.00 for a pot of tea for two is a tad on the high side. Yes, that was just the pot of tea...the cake was extra. Pot of tea for one, £2.50. Pot of tea for two, £5.00. Seemed a little steep to us. Did raise it with the owner, as a bit of useful feedback, though she said she won't be changing it. Shame! We've now found another delightful place for afternoon tea so we're happy :-)

Yet another lovely little cafe / tearoom we found by accident & so glad we did. We were staying in Bala & had been out for a drive making various stops on the way & it had got quite late for a lunch stop, just after 2pm. The weather had closed in a little & we didn't fancy sitting outside with our boader collie Shadow. The owners were brilliant & said if we sat upstairs out of the way & went there while they were making our sandwiches then they couldn't possibly see the dog. So we sneaked her in. The food was excellent. We both had sandwiches & coffee. They even brought a treat for our dog that they hadn't seen sneak in. We will definitely call again if we are in the area.

Beautiful day ..topped it of by going into pebbles for afternoon tea . Wow!!! We had fantastic sandwiches and cakes to die for..Thank you all staff for your warm and friendly welcome ...we will definitely be coming back..

Think they've written these reviews themselves! No friendly welcome today for us. Owners took up the best seat in the house themselves! No welcoming chat whatsoever and then proceeded to charge us 7.50 for a pot of tea for two and a caramel shortcake!! Rip off.

Excellent freshly made sandwiches, a wide range of cakes including a number which were gluten free. Very friendly staff who even came looking for me when I accidentally left my handbag.

We went to Pebbles on a warm afternoon and had cream tea. The scones were excellent as was the service. I very nice experience all round

First time here as my partner has been before and said how good it was. He wasn't wrong. Our daughter decided to have a death by chocolate, challenging my partner in the process. Wow is the only word to use. Both of them were almost killed off by it. Daughter finished hers, and I had a couple of spoons from partners before throwing in the towel!To sum up. Excellent food and drink and very friendly staff. They even gave us some cream for the cat!

Popped in for a cuppa and a sandwich great selection food and service. This place is under new management and well worth a visit

Highly recommend lovely friendly service. Cakes and desserts are to die for lovely location definitely going back.

Stopped here for morning coffee after walking the dog on the beach.Lovely coffee and the dog got a bowl of water and a biscuit.Will be coming back for some ice cream next time.

Lovely friendly welcome and excellent food. Carrot Cakes and scones very much enjoyed but don't go there if you are on a diet.

Loved the service, the ladies made us feel extremely welcome as soon as we walked through the door. The ice-creams were delicious and they let the children try a nibble before they bought to ensure they enjoyed it. We returned a couple of days later and ate sandwiches - they were again freshly made and delicious. The Hot chocolate was amazing. The children loved it - which made it easier for us adults. Thank you once again. We will return.

We came here for a light lunch all I can say is WOW..!!!! The coffee was the best coffee I've tasted in a long time, the fresh homemade cake were to die for, and the fresh salad were out of this world.The staff was warm and welcome, we had such a laugh with Julie which nothing was to much for her.All I can say is well done to everyone that works there, keep up the hard work.

Just called in for a tea and coffee, but ended up eating as well. Spotlessly clean, with home cooked food, served with enthusiasm by the staff. Nothing too much trouble. Well worth the visit. Will be back.

visited for lunch Sunday 21st August with a friend,great home made food, we had the prawn salad and home made quiche, it was outstanding !!!! mouth watering and best of all great value for money. Beautiful little place set over the road from the beach, lovely and clean, very friendly staff. Great to sit out in the garden, with plenty of space when the weather is fine. I would highly recommend this gem of a place. Well done !!!!

Went for a drink at the Slipway yesterday. They don't do food so ordered three sandwiches from Pebbles next door. They delivered it to the Beer Garden. Prawn, Coronation Chicken and Cheese and Tomato. The beer was good but the sandwiches were even better. Beautifully presented, salad and crisps a meal on their own. My parents loved them.

We stopped here for a pot of tea. Lovely quaint tearoom on the seafront. I loved the old fashioned china cups. Quite good value at £3 for 2 people.

I think this is our fourth visit this year and today is the first time the cafe has been open. Staff initially reluctant to make a sandwich at 3.30 as on a Sunday they close at 4 but today will probably be 4.30 so will make us one! My sandwich was pretty average but hubby really enjoyed his. They close at the end of September for the winter . I wonder when they will reopen!

Very friendly service and also to our dog. Nice clean tearoom with good selection of drinks, light meals and cakes

Great when its open! The cakes and drinks are fabulous! :-) The only downside is actually finding it open!!! Been here many times, they constantly moan about the new pub that is soon to be open right next door and how it may affect the trade... perfect time to have it open over Easter and the stupid thing is shut, 3 times over Easter I tried to have coffee and cake there and 3 times I had to go elsewhere!My rating reflects the times I've been and the food and service has been good, it would have had 5 if it had been open this Easter.... found that a disappointment to say the least! but still, it happens I guess!

Lovely cottage style tea shop on the sea front. Food was very nice and the outside seating area offers a sea view. Only downside was the owners were a little grumpy!

Enjoyed a great lunch at this cafe. Great cup of coffee and wonderful ham salad. Parking outside which made a difference as one of our party has difficulty walking. Over the road from the beach and sea.

I have been a few times,, always had the Ploughman's Lunch, which has always been delicious, plenty of everything,, a proper lunch,,, very friendly staff, nice location, tables on a lovely lawn area, facing the Sea,, cannot wait for Summer to go again

Lovely little cafe and close to beach. Love the vintage feel when eating there delious food. Nice friendly staff and lovely surroundings.

a lovely little place to grab a homemade cake and coffee, lovely location opposite to the sea, worth a visit when you're strolling along Tywyn prom. :)

Excellent service and lovely setting. Stopped by a couple of times for coffee and cake both of which were very good. Didn't have a sandwich myself but saw others enjoying and they looked great.

This place has always been a favourite for us but on our last visit we were not impressed. Tried to place an order for two things, neither of which they'd got. It was a sunny bank holiday and they'd run out of baguettes, surely a mainstay of a cafe's business. We ordered an alternative and this took seemingly ages to arrive whilst everyone who'd arrived after us was served first. In the meantime the tea was brought and by the time we got the food the tea was stone cold. Sorry but may try somewhere else next time.

This cafe is delightful, food is made to order and baguettes and sandwiches are delicious with a generous salad. Location is excellent, next to the beach widths large garden for outside eating. Also important the newly decorated interior is lovely with a disabled toilet available. Have visited a few times and consistent value. Would recommend.

Great lunch with good service. Sat outside in the sunshine and was served with a hearty filled baguette side salad and crisps on the side, very tasty. Definitely go there again.

We've been to Pebbles on many occasions and we love it, great location, we always sit outside as we have our bichone with us, cakes are home made and excellent, staff work very hard, prices are very good, we are always greeted with a smile.Can get busy, but it's always worth the wait.See you next time.

Closed now for winter but,A lovely little tea room right on the sea front with fantastic views out to sea, even when the weather was bad on the day we went, you can sit upstairs. We had some baguette with all the trimmings and must say there was plenty. Also the milky coffee was just right and the staff very friendly.

Nice clean busy little place,food is very good indeed,generous portions.If you can safely negotiate the stairs the rooms upstairs have sea view, ceilings are low and rooms need a bit of negotiating.In the season very busy,nice outdoor seatng area across from the beach.

On a sunny day it is lovely to sit at the tables on the lawned area. We were greeted by friendly staff and placed our order inside the cafe. The tea and food were brought to us quite quickly considering it was cooked fresh. I got 3 cups of tea from my pot for one and the bacon and brie sandwich was perfect. The price was ok and what I consider value for money. We went back 4 times in the week we were in Tywyn. Give it a go
