Riverbanc Cafe in Denbighshire

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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...

What a wonderful find we are staying in the adjoining hotel which is superb The cafe do the most amazing cakes all fresh , the tea my partner said is the best old fashioned tea leaves . Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallow a must....

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. 🌟💙💯💯💯🥰

We are regular day visitors to Llangollen and like to visit coffee shops that we have not visited before.We ordered our pot of tea and bacon baps and had to pay in advance which is unusual for a cafe.We had a longer wait than expected,...

Welsh stack breakfast Absolutely gorgeous Something different from normal fried breakfast Tasted and looked amazing

Brilliant place with lovely staff, great food and dog friendly, 💯💙👍🏽worth a visit. We have visited different times of the day and it’s always been good.

Lovely place to stay - great Breakfast and Coffee Shop - Staff lovely - Large Rooms with plenty of space - would highly recommend

Amazing breakfast in a fantastic setting. The food was gorgeous and the service was excellent! We wish we had time to visit again!

We called in on a grey and breezy afternoon. I had coffee and my wife had green tea. We also had a cake each. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We sat on their terrace over looking a rather angry river Dee. What's not...

We've been to Llangollen a few times, we normally go on a Saturday in a B&B, go for a nice meal Saturday night and return home Sunday morning. Our normal B&B was fully booked but we managed to get a room at the Riverbanc and...

As a family of four we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The kids loved the bunk beds and commented on how massive the bathroom was! The breakfast was way above any hotel standard. Kids and adults...

The hotel is attached to a coffee shop next door - where you go for breakfast. The staff are really nice but our room was quite basic and not staffed 24/7. Unfortunately we chose the weekend that was hosting a musical festival across the road...

Lovely Welsh rarebit and loose leaf tea. Partner had a flat white with carrot cake. Freshly prepared Beautiful views if you sit outside of the Dee and you can watch the canoeists pass by below.

Very disappointing. This cafe has a lot going for it, in that it overlooks the river and the outdoor tables are very well situated. The lady who served us took away the dirty plates from the previous customer, which had yet to be removed. However...

Very disappointing visit. On arrival looked promising, attractive venue and nice coffee smells. Sadly the homemade cake was one of the worst cakes I've ever eaten out, dry with cheap tasting frosting and paltry serving size. Over priced and tasteless. Really poor service too, staff...

My friend and I, both ex-Midland Bank staff, made a visit last Monday to the former Midland Bank where I used to cash cheques on my first trip to Llangollen in 1972! The lovely Alison, a friend since she worked at the nearby Bridge End...

We came across Riverbanc by accident, the tables outside were full, but the lady behind the counter kindly came over before we ordered our food, to tell us one had been vacated and she would clean it ready for us. Beautiful setting, we were looking...

Lovely welcoming spot, our triple room overlooked the river. Great breakfast on the decking overlooking the river in the morning. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic anniversary brunch this morning, wonderful views, lovely coffee and very tasty food. Highly recommend the smashed avocado on seeded toast with poached eggs and crispy bacon. Staff went out of their way, especially Al who brought us an anniversary muffin with a candle on!...

If you are a coffee lover in Llangollen do pop in here. Absolutely fantastic coffee - and lots of other goodies too. You won’t be disappointed!!

We had breakfast here and came back for cakes and drinks after our water activities. Could not fault it at all. Lovely inside and a stunning area outside over looking the River Dee.

Breakfast on the deck overlooking the river. Full breakfast is quality. Chunk of toasted bloomer with a proper size Portobello mushroom, meaty sausage, best crispy bacon I've had, beans and a tasty cheesy leak potato croquette. Proper loose leaf tea as well. Service with a...

Great little place to catch a light bite. We both had Welsh rarebit sitting out on the decking area looking out over the river. a lovely setting . The menu is different from the normal run of the mill cafe with lots of choice. There...

Found this by chance trying to grab some lunch somewhere on a busy day in Llangollen. Menu has lots of different options that you wouldn't usually find in a standard café. The savory waffle was lovely! Staff are friendly and atmosphere is really relaxed- definitely...

The food and service was excellent. We really enjoyed eating our breakfast on the terrace at the back of the cafe, it was delicious! We stayed in the accommodation and this was just as lovely. The rooms were beautifully decorated and very clean. The family...

One of my favourite places to eat or grab a coffee from in Llangollen. Coffee is always really good and the food is just as good. I’d recommend sitting outside if the weather permits and the views are fantastic. Thanks guys!

Lovely little cafe serving hot and cold snacks and cakes with some amazing coffee selections. Very friendly staff. Great place to grab a snack before taking part in one of the whitewater active activities based in the same building

1 The staff were absolutely fabulous; 2 The room was spacious, light and airy, decor was tasteful and very clean. The white bed linen was crisp and fresh; 3 The bathroom was again tastefully finished, spotlessly clean, contained fresh fluffy towels, soap and conditioner. The...

Lovely cafe with decking overlooking the river. Great coffee and cake. We also went back for breakfast which was fab. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the river banc! Food fantastic, rooms beautiful. I would highly recommend the river view room. The staff especially the lady who runs the cafe are so friendly and cannot do enough for you! Absolutely beautiful terrace. We loved the breakfast...

Wonderful lunch, would recommend home made quiche with a side of french fries. Real food made on the premises, no mass produced junk hear.

Superb base in Llangollen, super friendly staff. Very nice rooms with amazing view over the river Dee. Awesome breakfast.

My partner and I were very impressed with Riverbanc. The staff were friendly, they had a good range of gluten free options which my partner requires, and the food was fantastic. The outdoor terrace gives a marvellous view of the river and it was just...

Lovely quaint little bistro with lovey seating outside overlooking the river . Right ...back to the food ... I went for the full English breakfast the first time here .....and still eat it whenever I visit ...I simply can't fault it . It's a perfect...

We visited here whilst in local lockdown and loved it. Great fresh, healthy food along with perfect coffee and loose leaf tea. A lovely little place that we would definitely visit again.

Beautiful setting overlooking the River perfect for a light lunch on a Saturday afternoon with lovely staff, they allow dogs too...... Great find

Called in for lunch on a very quiet, cold wet Sunday. The staff were great, the food is excellent (lots of options for veggies, allergies and tastes). Lots of home made stuff. Llangollen needs places like this. We had the veggie breakfast and coffee (again, both excellent). Staff made the place feel welcome and we will be going back.
