Popty'r Dref in Gwynedd

So much choice. Generous portions. The best sausage rolls with cheese!! Also massive custard swirls and cinnamon swirls.

Amazing & very interesting variety of cakes & savouries, great atmosphere & service, really worth visiting when in Dollegllau.

Amazing food and great service! Massive portions and really lovely cakes, saved us on a very cold bike ride. Would love to visit again

The shop is a little gem in a very pretty village, we loved it and the cakes were truly to die for especially the caramel choux buns!

Lovely bakery/café. Great value for money. Staff all very attentive. The cookie cake is to die for. Couldn’t finish it on the day: had to take 2/3rd of it back home.

You will be spoilt for choice at this bakery; there are just so many delicious sweet treats to choose from. We went back twice to try more and every one was delicious! The breakfast is also very good, with some varied choices on the menu. Definitely go here if you're in the area!

Lovely staff, they were super busy but happy and friendly. Gorgeous cakes, generous sizes... very generous. Biggest and best Vanilla slice I have ever had. Looking forward to a return visit and sampling the rest of the delicious looking produce.

Called in with my disabled sister, after she had struggled to get in. It was 2.15 but they refused to serve anything but takeaway as they closed at 3. Very unsympathetic manager, I shall not be returning

Widest range of the most delicious cakes and cooked food. Great staff, cosy and warm! Has been my regular for 3 years

Exploring bakeries for butter buns and bars Ruth, found this bakery had turned into a lovely cafe, staff lovely and happy to help and best of all found butter ins which were as big as I remember as a child ( I’m now 66) and they tasted as I remembered with the bonus of nice teas and coffees. Worth a visit at any time. I must say their sausage rolls on display were massive! Shame I had no space to eat one 😊

We picked up cakes and bread from here. Cakes were wonderfully different. The Manchester Tart was best, Choux bun a close second. Each cake was enough for 2, on a wild wet windy day.

What a great place that just keeps on giving, whenever we visit there’s always something that has changed, the most recent is the addition of both soft scoop and mr whippy icecream, they have also made room for a new counter for hot food , i had beef chilli and rice with a side of chips “obviously” and my husband had the chicken pie with chips which he said was very tasty too and we’re both very reasonably priced considering everything else in this world has shot through the roof, We had cakes to go and picked on them all the way home they were equally delicious. Keep up the great work and we can’t wait to visit again soon.

Ice cream stop with the family was needed so decided on this nice looking bakery. Good selection of the classic flavours plus some more unusual ones too (Jaffa cake, Unicorn!). Lovely ice cream but a bit pricey for one scoop. All good just a bit expensive give the size of the portion. 🙂

Called in to the cafe for a sausage buttie which wasn't on the menu but they served it anyway. Excellent service - speedy, efficient and very helpful.

Superb bakery, the cakes are absolutely the best. The home made rolls gorgeous, full of filling and fresh and tasty. All at a really good price. Highly recommended, I would go nowhere else for my take away lunch rolls when I am in the area, they are superb here!

Excellent breakfast, really tasty and filling. Staff are really lovely and helpful and the place itself is just so delightful. Great decor and the bread and cakes are delicious too! Couldn’t resist taking some home with us for later!

Delicious and beautiful little deli/ cafe, The scones were huge!!! The coffee was good too - very popular with locals too.

We had a roast dinner and then a welsh brekkie the following day, and it felt like being wrapped in sheeps wool, we thought the food was exceptional and we are drooling with anticipation of our next sitting

We were just passing by as the selection of baked goods caught our eye. We nipped in to get some to take away, the shop was lovely and cozy and the staff member that served us was really friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, really fresh, But the star of the show… the cinnamon bun. Simple the best I’ve ever had (and i’ve tried a few)! I would highly recommend you try it if you’re visiting the area, and even if you’re not, make a special trip, they are well worth it. Gutted we didn’t buy more and secretly wished there was a delivery service

Fabulous cafe with the most amazing selection of cakes bread pastries and everything you can imagine!! We had full breakfast which was superb Lovely coffee Friendly staff 5 stars!

Lovely little coffee shop. Great coffee and the cakes - wow!! Very friendly and cosy, just the place to take a break in this fascinating town. Highly recommended!!

Popped in for breakfast whilst travelling through the town. Breakfast menu not too visible - had to ask at the counter - but there was a wide range of options. Very tasty. It was an - all-day breakfast but they were also serving lunches - many folk took them away. Large selection of cakes which were all very generously sized and looked tasty. Coffee was OK although not really to my taste. Service was friendly and efficient. It was very busy with folk who were obviously local.

Lovely little place, great selection of cakes, sandwiches and pastries. Cracking looking breakfast as well, all at reasonable prices as well

No food was eaten.I was left at the counter for at least 5 minutes without even being acknowledged even though the staff were at times stood in front of me.I have never been in a cafe where the staff were so rude!! I won’t bother again.

A great breakfast, never had better. Super hot, perfect egg and a pile of food to fuel a day in the mountains. Great value for money too Just disappointed I didn’t have room for one of the fantastic looking cakes

Lovely cakes and drinks, however the lady serving us needed to wash her apron as did the other staff. The girls were very friendly but we felt they needed to pay attention to cleaning the tables. They do have a 5 star rating but it...

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing huge veggie breakfast, with Glamorgan sausages on Saturday. How have we never found this place?! By far the best in Dolgellau. Very pleasant staff. I would highly recommend!

Two of our party had breakfast waffles topped with bacon, scrambled eggs and syrup, and the boys had full Welsh breakfast. It all looked and tasted amazing, and the window and display cabinets are crammed with the most wonderful looking cakes and pastries. Can’t wait...

Despite it saying it was closed on Tripadvisor, it has recently started opening on Sundays at 8.30. It was busy, we both ordered a small breakfast at £4.95 which was more than adequate in size. The quality was good and the mug of tea nice...

Visiting Dolgellau, stopped off at Popty'r Dref, just off the main square in town to buy our youngest a Sticky Bun with a cherry on top! Helpful friendly Welsh service. Good quality bun - albeit pricey at £1.50 - but it certainly make littleone's day....

Amazing little cafe Bacon an mushroom baguette £5:75 Omg when it came taste fantastic to big for me to finish 💕 Came with coleslaw a yummy pasta and salad side 🤗

Take away brownie and tray bake with coffee and it was excellent. Friendly staff, lots of choice. Couldn’t sit in as not dog friendly (we didn’t mind) but looked lovely inside.

Saw the cakes in the window,something we'd never seen before "Honey Bun" brought and ate one brought 2 more ,so delicious....this cake shop is no good if your on a diet,all the food looks fantastic. Girls were run off their feet but they didn't stop...

We had cheese and ham toasties, served with salad. Tasty and filling. The cakes and pastries looked amazing, shame we couldn't come back for coffee and cake!

10/10 would recommend. For hungry belly’s this is the best breakfast I’ve had all year, be sure to have somewhere to nap for afterwards.

Called in on our way up to North Wales and liked it so much we called in again on the way back! The bread is really good and we took some home with us. But we really came for coffee and the pastries and cakes....

Last minute dash for a sliced granary loaf late in the day for the kids lunch the next day. Still no gluten free bread options - so it was off to the Co-op for me! Friendly Welsh service.

Lovely cakes and pastries and a a really wide choice of options. We went back on a different day of the holiday as it was so good. Biscoff blondie was really tasty and definitely worth a visit for this alone. Prices are reasonable especially for...

Found this place on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. The cakes are fantastic - we had the mint choc slice and the date, coconut and choc slice. Excellent. And with a mug of tea each, it came to just £8. A real find. We'll...

Excellent pork bap at a reasonable price. Very tasty and good value for money. It is also a bakery, which seems to be popular with the locals. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Really nice food at a good price and friendly staff well worth a visit they have some lovely treats ..

Nipped into Popty'r Dref in Dolgellau just off the main square. Lots of bread / cakes, but no Gluten Free options. Friendly helpful staff. At least they serve nice drinks.

amazing panini, sandwiches . mouth watering cake selection which where delicious and really good coffee. girl at counter was lovely and friendly . great food and service. very cl4an and well run

Wonderful cakes & coffee. I enjoyed a most delicious vanilla slice whilst my husband opted for a caramel brownie. Both proved to be excellent value as was the cappuccino coffee. Great service in warm comfortable surroundings. Definitely recommend x

Hubby and me visited the market town of Dolgellau yesterday (Wednesday). We bought savoury picnic items from the local Spar Shop and then went to this bakery. We didn't fancy anything in the window display because the wasps were landing on them. We went to...

This bakery and tea room has the most delicious freshly baked sweet and savoury foods! We came in for breakfast after packing our tent up and had lovely coffee, hot Chocolate and lovely sausage roll, honey buns, Apple honey buns and the unique custard swirl,...

We popped in here on the way to our holiday home. Even though it was after lunch there was a great selection to choose from & the prices of the food & drink on offer was incredibly reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

What a lovely surprise... stopped here for breakfast as it was open at 8am in the morning in winter time. Then I ordered, great tasting and presented produce on the plate, bread was homemade, and I could not get over the low price for what...

Hunni buns are a Dolgellau speciality and if you like sweet stick buns you will love these. Got ours here, excellent, but most bakers in the town sell them.

Bought a bar a birth and had to throw it away. Burnt on top and not cooked inside £3.95 very disappointed with it being a traditional welsh cake.

Following recommendations, we visited Popty’r Dref for a cappuccino and a Shrewsbury Biscuit and found it to be exactly as described to us. The staff very very welcoming and friendly and we also bought some filled rolls for our picnic, which were really good. Highly...

Lovely bakery with THE best cake/bake ever - the honey bun! We have tried these years ago and during our holiday decided to track them down and ordered 8! They didn't last long so we ordered another 8 for home! Also very good service and...

This is my local bakery and I can thoroughly recommend their bread and cakes. Try the Low GI brown loaf..best bread I have eaten. Great toasted and fresh in a sandwich.

Each time we have frequented Popty'r Dref we have received a lovely welcome from the owners and staff. The bread, cakes, pastries and take away food which appear to be all baked and prepared on the premises are delightful and everything we have tried has...

The first time we walked into this (empty) bakery the two staff members began a conversation, one turned her back to us and the other ignored us until I said loudly 'Good morning!' We were then served with an excellent honey bun and a chocolate and custard pastry. Very reasonable at £1 each, or less for two. The second time, a different young woman was serving and was perfectly friendly. It seems that some staff don't understand customer service - but the products are good.

Menge der Angebote erschlägt zuerst, man braucht Zeit zum Auswählen, wir aren zweimal da :) und haben so vier verschiedene Kuchen testen können, alle musste man in Ruhe genießen! Nicht zu süß, nicht zu massig, sondern zergingen auf der Zunge!

Family run intimate cafe friendly staff, oh lovely cakes and fresh sandwiches/rolls and raspberries swirl slice is yum too nice 😍 fresh made bread

Whilst driving through the area, my boyfriend and I were attracted by this cosy looking bakery/tea rooms. We were not disappointed! We had a Chelsie bun and coffee each. The bun was the size of my face. It was fresh and delicious!

Very poor. Stood waiting for 10min to be served and seen by 3 members of staff and not even one asked if they could help or mention that they would be with us soon. I was third in a queue! Walked out without anything in the end and no one being seen to!

We had honey buns and a cinnamon swirl on our first visit while passing through the town. We deliberately chose our route home from North Wales via Dolgellau to try the honey buns again, as well as a custard swirl. All yummy and served by very helpful and cheery staff. Well done Popty'r Dref.

The food in the window looked fantastic and we chose a Custard Swirl and Belgian Bun. Only £1 each and the best value we've had in years. The Belgian bun contained lots of cherries.Ten out of Ten. Scrumptious!

Visited with my family for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. Having been to Dolgellau before and found it hard to find somewhere to eat with picky kids we didn't really have any high expectations. However walking in it was immediate to see that the atmosphere was warm and friendly. The staff were helpful and the choice of food was vast, from sandwiches and baguettes to cakes and bread to pizza and sausage rolls to soup and milkshakes. Prices are reasonable and all family members were happy with their choices. I even went back later in the day for a cake to take home.

Gorgeous cakes. The caramel flapjack is a must - soft, chewy, moist and perfectly baked. If that's not your thing, the raspberry and white chocolate brownies are equally good. They also offer gluten free options. Sit in or takeaway.

Best bakers in Dolgellau, hands down. Gorgeous cakes. The caramel flapjack is a must - soft, chewy, moist and perfectly baked. If that's not your thing, the raspberry and white chocolate brownies are equally good. Also offer gluten free options. Sit in or takeaway.
