Riverbanc Cafe in Denbighshire

Courteous staff clean rooms stunning location

Gorgeous town and position. Hotel lovely.

Cool vibes and great coffee. Still the place for great coffee.

Had breakfast here two mornings in a row. The view from the decking is incredible, lovely by the river and the staff are great and the food and drinks are brilliant

Superb breakfast, friendly service and a beautiful location - highly recommended!

Had a lovely breakfast and an excellent coffee. Enjoyed the early morning sun on the river right as we ate. Excellent menu and good service. Well worth a visit.

This is a lovely place to stay. Room was very clean and nicely decorated. We had everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent! Food was well cooked and delicious. Cannot fault Riverbanc. Shame about the other guests! Selfish people who have no consideration for others and make noise all night and spoil other people’s experience.

We’ve had a lovely stay at Riverbanc. Our room has a great view overlooking the river. Our breakfast was amazing, the Welsh breakfast and the breakfast bap had high quality ingredients. We’d recommend having breakfast when you stay here. Parked by wasn’t an issue as there are car parks in the town, we used East Street as it’s close to the hotel and good value.

Perfect location, lovely rooms, cafe, food and staff. Wonderful breakfast and setting. Well recommended.

Great spot. Lunch was amazing. Dog friendly and superb service. Amazing location over looking the river. Staff really friendly.

Tasty breakfast - great service - lovely cafe would recommend. The potato cheese leek fritters was a tasty surprise. Will come again.

The variety and quality of the drinks are amazing and the staff are polite and efficient, however I’m personally not a fan of the food. I think it is slightly overpriced for what you get and doesn’t taste the best, I opted for beans and cheese on toast and the beans tasted metallic? I enjoy the atmosphere and layout, and can’t fault the staff or the drinks but food needs sorting out. Also not a fan of the card-only system.

Very nice cafe, food, service and staff all very good, so good we went two days in a row for breakfast! The view overlooking the river was beautiful.

Had breakfast overlooking the water. The Easy Cheesy Waffles were to die for 😍😍 and its incredibly dog friendly!

Used the Riverbanc for the Llangollen Music Festival. Super convenient. Checking in was so easy and location to walk to the venue took no time at all. Rooms were clean and tidy and had everything you needed. Would absolutely use again if we visit again next year. Parking can be a bit of a find but wouldn’t put us off. Would be good of the hotel could provide recommendations of local restaurants in their welcome email. One all a great place to stay.

Lovely room, excellent breakfast with option of consuming by the river. The constant slamming of doors by everyone is the worst element of this stay. Staff, guests... everyone slams the door and it reverberates through the walls and floors. Install some slow closers and it'll be a total game changer!

Great place to eat and relaxing, amazing activities with excilant instructors and friendly staff.

Tried the Great Welsh Breakfast and was amazing. Very tasty and you surely won't be hungry afterwards. The place has a great atmosphere with rustic wooden furniture. The staff is extremely professional, kind, and helpful. Definitely will be back before our holiday ends here.

Awesome breakfast, great staff, if I was more local I'd be a regular there....

Absolutely amazing place to stay, the rooms are modern and immaculate. The breakfast is outstanding, had the full stacked breakfast yesterday it was delicious and also their coffee is better than the big chains by far.

This is a review of the cafe (not the hotel). We stayed in Llangollen for 4 nights and visited here twice. The food was delicious and the menu was varied with a good selection of meat, veggie and vegan options. My partner ordered the vegan stacked breakfast and said it was amazing, and this is coming from a massive meat eater! They have a beautiful spot alongside the River Dee, and the outside decking bit is lovely (there are large umbrellas so you are shaded). The views are to die for. This place is also dog friendly.

Always a friendly welcome, great food and very clean. Delightful!

Excellent breakfast and lovely staff, had a nice welcome as soon as I walked in! Clean and tidy as you’d expect, rustic and atmospheric! Busy little cafe and hidden from the Main Street but definitely worth a look!

I wonderful café with friendly and helpful staff who would do anything to make you visit comfortable, the menu is great and the food delicious. They haven have a menu for your four legged dog friends. The deck on the back over looks the River Dee and it is a beautiful place to relax for an afternoon. Thank you for making my and my dog feel so welcome and for introducing me to your Hot Spiced Apple drink, which I am now addicted too.

A delightful cafe that serves delicious food and a great selection of drinks at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend coming here!

Excellent! Top notch coffee made with care, lovely ambiance and super friendly staff. Went back for breakfast the next day and also perfect. Especially as a coeliac, I was able eat GF with confidence. Will be back.

Hidden gem amazing for breakfast

Visited great cafe with great location on River side . Good menu with huge bowl of porridge great value .ideal for a coffee after Llangollen parkrun (called Old Railway Parkrun) which is 5 - 10 minutes away)

So good we're going back before we go home, squeaky sandwich a winner!

Stopped by the Riverbanc for breakfast recently whilst on holiday in Llangollen. A super tasty breakfast with high quality ingredients and a lovely potato and leek croquette. Very friendly service and a nice addition of a wall selling homemade crafts from the staff members. A must-visit for breakfast in Llangollen!

In my view best coffee in Llan! Service always friendly, even when super busy. Decking out the back offers lovely view and atmosphere.

Delicious food and coffee. Great service and setting

The cafe is a must visit in Llangollen!

Had a lovely stay at the hotel. Lovely rooms right on the river. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Stayed for one night, I wish it was for longer. Rooms were great with a nice view of the river, very clean and tidy. Good location and staff were fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Great little cafe, super friendly staff, food was lovely 😊

Great breakfast and brilliant that it's so dog friendly here, looks like Llangollen in general seems to welcome our four legged friends. See you again soon to try something else from the menu 👍

This is such a great hotel to stay at when looking for a base in the Llangollen area. The room is fantastic for families. Warm and everything you need. Shower is strong and hot. Just what we needed. If the weather turns there’s Netflix and Prime etc through the TV. Excellent WiFi. Simplistic self check in. Parking outside but not always available but never had a problem to be fair. The breakfast ! Amazing. Lots to choose from. Amazing value. Book with absolute confidence.

Absolutely love the river band, been coming since it first opened and it gets better and better. Me and my partner come almost every Saturday after a long morning of sorting the horses out. I strongly recommend the waffles And the Welsh rarebit. It encourages us to eat healthier with delicious options for everyone. I’m a very fussy eater and there not one thing I haven’t enjoyed yet !

Popped in here for coffee whilst visiting. Such a beautiful place and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you.

great coffee. loads of teas and cake. food as good as the service. easy five stars for their gluten free offerings alone and just a nice place to be.

Absolutely lovely vibe jn there. Very busy and I can see why. Dog friendly. Food was excellent. Lovely plants and local crafts on display. Freshly cooked food and promptly served.

Very busy but very helpful staff,you find a table and then order yourself it's not waitress service, we had welsh breakfast very nice and good value for money,its a very busy little place which is a good sign the sweating outside has lovely views of the river,inside is small but quaint.

Good food . Especially as one of us was gluten free and capsicum intolerant. Thanks for your attention and help.

The decor and location is beautiful. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They have a dog menu available and a waterside decking area with stunning river views. The coffee is excellent with guest beans. The food is of a very high quality. Highly recommended

Great setting to have coffee and cake. There's seating indoors if the weather isn't great. However out the back there's quite a large decking area overlooking the river which is lovely.

Great place! Highly recommend if you are looking for a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in the area. Lovely welcoming space with friendly staff. Lots of tables inside and out, with dogs welcome to sit inside with you. Between us we had a Welsh breakfast and a cheesy pleasey waffle - both delicious - generous in size, tasty ingredients and served quickly.

We'd stopped in Llangollen for a few hours on our way home from holiday, and happened upon Riverbanc when we were looking for lunch somewhere family and dog friendly. We were all welcomed in. We had club sandwiches (excellent) and two very nice kids sandwich deals, fries, drinks and a doggy ice cream. Service was friendly and prompt, food was delicious and the atmosphere and decor is lovely. Really enjoyed our visit and would definitely eat here again when we return.

My sons and I had waffles every morning of our bank holiday weekend stay in Llangollen. Lovely location with views over the road ver Dee.

Great breakfast. Coffee was excellent. Really good choice. Good quality and a view of the river whilst enjoying it.

We visited for breakfast at the start of our holiday and enjoyed it so much we came back for lunch on our journey home. The 'Stacked Full Welsh' breakfast was absolutely delicious, as was lunch. We sat outside on the decking overlooking the River Dee on both occasions...What a stunning view! A fabulous little cafe in a great location.

I have to agree with everyone else: lovely setting on the terrace by the river; lovely service from the staff; and lovely food, fairly priced. I hope they grow their business!

Fab food, friendly servers, we ordered food inside, as I walked back to table, the drinks arrivied. I had squeaky sandwich, and it was amazing. And got to watch the canoeist etc playing on river

Our stay was perfect. The family room was spacious and well equipped, my girls loved the bunk beds. My in laws stayed in a river view room and it was as advertised. Both rooms were immaculately clean. Breakfast was great, lots of options and everyone enjoyed their choice. We will definitely return.

Really friendly staff and amazing food, and the view from the outdoor seating area is beautiful. The dirty chai latte was amazing. Went twice in two days!

Great food very cooked and friendly staff, happy to cook to request and personal taste. Amazing setting if the weather os good over looking the river.

Lovely hotel right on the river. The breakfast at the attached cafe was AMAZING. Appreciate the fan in the room as it was a bit warm when we visited! We had room with king bed plus bunk for a teen - perfect configuration for us. Whitewater Active (next door) was a great guide for our gorge walking.

Excellent breakfast menu included with your stay at the hotel. Staff extremely polite and courteous. Spotlessly clean everywhere in the cafe and accommodation. Will definitely be back on our next visit back home to see family /(we reside in the USA)

Amazing lunch. We had the caesar club sandwich was out of this world and the rarebit with chili jam. We sat outside to take advantage of river views and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Well worth stopping in when in Llangollen

When we first arrived in Llangollen we failed to find Riverbanc, and so had morning coffee elsewhere. But at lunchtime we made up for the faux pas and ate in this rather wonderful café overlooking the river. My club sandwich and flat white were both...

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my experience at the Riverbanc cafe today. Despite really looking forward to the ramen - when it arrived it was completely tasteless, grey/tough chicken and over-stewed veg. I had had roughly 3 mouthfuls before I could no longer eat anymore....

Such a lovely place, nice decor and the atmosphere really nice. Staff welcoming & friendly, decking area outside looks amazing so can’t wait to try it in the sunshine! Lovely breakfast!!

This is the best place in Llangollen for breakfast, the full Welsh is amazing, service with a smile great coffee you can not go wrong give it a try.

Beautiful location, stunning rear veranda overlooking the Dyfrdwy. Great coffee, delicious food and super friendly service ( recommend the cheesy waffles 😋)

Absolutely gorgeous cafe - warm, cosy, decking onto river is incredible. Coffee delicious! Menu looked stunning value but we didn’t eat this time - next time!

Everything about the Riverbanc Cafe was excellent. We stayed in the Riverbanc Apartments and had breakfast in the cafe. The staff were brilliant, the cafe is really well presented and our breakfasts were really top quality; I can especially recommend the full Welsh breakfast!

We called in yesterday while wandering around Llangollen initially just for a cup of tea. The menu looked amazing and the fact there was a gluten free menu was wonderful to me as a Coeliac. It meant that the cafe understands it's not just me...

Luna, our dog, loved the fuss. Our sort of cafe. Great atmosphere, wooden tables, fantastic service and staff. Excellent coffee and food. Will have to have more walks in Llangollen now.

Very poor service,overalll bad experience. Will not return. No regard to customers. Waited over an hour for service. Sub standard food. Will not return. Ever…..

On a wet February Wednesday where better to catch up with friends for lunch than Riverbanc. Toasty warm cafe ( unlike some of the other eateries in Llangollen, watching the heating bills!) Chef Liv greeted us with her usual smile and banter providing menus. Top...

Went for a walk along the nearby canal and our friends suggested having a coffee here as they had an outdoor seating area overlooking the river. I'm fussy with my coffee and was more than happy to go home for one but I was overruled...

Really excellent place to stay. Comfortable room, spotlessly clean, great breakfast with lots of thoughtful options.

Really nice B & B. We arrived at 3pm and let ourselves in using the key pad, then followed the instructions, really simple. Room was a nice size and really clean. Only thing I would say is the heating wasn't great and the shower a...

Absolutely love this place to take friends & family. Great for coffee, frappes, cakes, brunch , lunches !! Friendly, quick service. Top class food

Delicious food, great for vegetarian and vegan peeps. Awesome deck overlooking the River Dee, but with a cool interior to enjoy too. Great coffee!

Stayed as two couples in two rooms for one night. All booking and correspondence online but there's a friendly contact by mobile with reassuring texts. Entry is by keypad and you can check-in and check-out online, so you might not see anyone. But you definitely...

I have very recently visited Riverbanc to stay a night before a wedding at Tyn Dwr Hall. We picked this place because of the location, but it did not disappoint for many more reasons. Before our trip I messaged the Riverbanc and spoke to Craig...

The location is great, right in the heart of town along the river. We had a wedding at the railway and the reception was at another hotel but all within walking distance. The staff were super friendly and helped with check in just as the...

We booked here so we could be close to do the activities with White Water Active. The room was spacious with a super comfy king size bed. A kettle in the room with endless supplies. Nice hot powerful shower. The staff were super friendly and...

Popped in for lunch today while visiting the town. Really good, best eatery we have been to for ages. Especially well catered for my GF and other allergenic veggie partner, without being too exotic. Great friendly staff who took good care to make sure allergies...

The staff at this cafe, which is attached to the white water rafting and outdoor activities centre, go above and beyond to be brilliant, professional and generally lovely! We were in the town recently with a school trip (from West Sussex) and I was impressed...

The hot cocoa was amazing and all the food was excellent and well-priced. Love this little place with great views of the river.

Great hotel and café. We are in Room 8 and the kids loved the bunk bed frame. Everything we needed was in the room. Gorgeous sound and view of the river sent us all to sleep in comfy large bed. Breakfast is served outside on...

Have visited a few times now for lunch and coffee and cake so decided on breakfast. We where welcomed by a pleasant young lady who gave us menus and gave us a choice of where to sit. We opted on decking overlooking the river Our...

Late breakfast pit stop…great menu and even better service! They catered for my wife’s coeliac disease, understood her needs and delivered a lovely breakfast!! My gluten filled bacon and egg bun was equally as lovely, as were the gluten free carrot cake we had as...

We stopped off for a quick bite to eat between activities and were extremely impressed. We shared The Sqeaky Sandwich which had hallumi, pesto, bacon and tomato in and it was so tasty! We also shared a bowl of chips which were very moorish. Thanks...

What a fabulous B&B! Our room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bed was comfy and we had a really restful stay. We can’t speak highly enough of the breakfasts we had in the lovely cafe downstairs though. My daughter started the day with...

Lovely welcome, friendly staff, great food, and a table overlooking the river. Nothing not to like, heartily recommend!

Had a delicious brunch just before boarding the Heritage train to Carrog, we were in a rush as we were running late, our food was delivered hot, well cooked and promptly. Friendly staff, lovely view across the river. Would highly recommend.

Second time here and will definitely be coming again when we're in the area. Atmosphere very relaxed and they obviously have a huge number of regulars who they know and chat with (always a good sign)

Would highly recommend. Coffee great, food delicious. Great deck overlooking the River. Pieces reasonable. A must to visit.

Visited for lunch on a drizzly, overcast day so unable to sit on the outside rear patio with it’s magnificent views over the river. Nevertheless the interior is bright and cheery so a pleasant alternative. Good choice of lunch options at reasonable prices. We shared...

Went for brunch, 2 adults,2 children, 1 dog. Food was perfect. We had a full Welsh breakfast, 2 small breakfasts and a sqeaky sandwich, all was freshly made, good quality, served quickly with a smile. A really good experience, thank you.

Lovely people and lovely coffee. Perfect place for a casual coffee after a kayak lap/ walk in the area.

Just back from a great break at the Riverbanc, the hotel was amazingly clean and the welcome we received was literally amazing. Great touch in the room with a sample of the amazing ground coffee they sell in their own cafe under the hotel. To...

Very busy and popular place, service wasn’t great as I stood in the ‘wrong place’ so was promptly ignored for a while when I was ready to order even though as we walked in we were shouted at that there was only drinks and cakes...

Out on a day trip to Castell Dinas Brân, the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct and a Junior Parkrun 15 minutes away. Did some cafe research before visiting and glad I did because this cafe was amazing. Descriptive adjectives would be warm, friendly, colourful... needless to say our...

Stayed for one night in the Riverbanc in a room with a river view. Beautiful room and very clean will definitely stay here again, breakfast in the cafe the next day was one of the nicest breakfasts we’ve had, thank you to everyone @riverbanc.

Great place, lovely staff, dog friendly warm and cosy. Yummy vegan food and cakes. Great teas and coffees. Value for money. 🌟💙💯💯💯🥰
