Te a Cofi in Gwynedd

Stopped in for a coffee after visiting nearby castle, and glad we did! Good & simple selection of food. Great value for money. Clean and super friendly. Would recommend.

We stopped in for lunch at this friendly and cheap cafe This place supports good causes and serves tasty food Good spot to watch the square

Great ethical local cafe. Traditional menu you would expect in a cafe. Service is friendly and food was good. They have a scheme where you can purchase an additional drink which someone who needs one can get. Brilliant idea! My only criticism was that it was quite cold in the cafe but not sure what can be done about that and would not prevent me from returning.

Was a real plateful and was delicious. All the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent .I will definitely be eating here again and will have the beef and onion bap which my wife had, she said it was absolutely lovely . Their prices were very reasonable .

Lovely little place, welcoming staff - food really nice and Barry has good bants! Would recommend 👌🏻

Really friendly staff , food well prepared and very price friendly , plenty of choice and great to grab a window seat and watch the hustle and bustle of caernarfon go by

Great food sourced locally which you can tell within your first mouthful. A great welcome led by bari and all staff and the suspended tea/coffee shows a care for people that we all need more of. Loved the place and will definitely be back and recommending friends. Thank you

Great food and Barry was very welcoming and we will definitely be visiting the caffi again. Worth a visit.

Had a lovely buffet lunch in the cafe. The cakes were too die for! Great food great service, with warm and friendly staff/volunteers. Could not fault, and all for a good cause - bonus!

Food in the cafe is lovely especially the homemade chips, The volunteers and staff work very hard as it is a busy cafe and are always welcoming, highly recommend.

When visiting this cafe , sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch, whatever time , the food is always excellent. A bonus of eating here is that all profits go to charity ,well worth a visit. Very popular with local people.

This was a really nice cafe. It's good for when you need a quick meal. I will return in the future!!

........ with a great view of the castle/town. Entered the cafe and an elderly women appeared and looked at me as if I had three heads. No greeting, a hello or can I help you. I asked for a pot of tea, and she looked bewildered and said "we are closed" as if it were obvious, with the door wide open, music playing and people still sat outside. It was a very warm day, but if the door was open and they wernt, then maybe put a cone, or a sign or a chain/rope across the doorway...?? States on Google closing time as 5pm? I can now see on here its 4pm, which is early. And people who just call on a wim, arnt to know this.

Brilliant Afternoon Tea supplied for our volunteers get together last week. Great selection of sandwiches, mini scones, mini Victoria Sponges and Bara Brith. Plenty of food supplied so everyone was delighted. Always get Te a Coffi to supply food for events and this is the 4th time I think that I have booked with them. I have no hesitation in highly recommending for any event. Diolch yn fawr unwaith eto, pawb wedi cael eu plesio a wir fwynhau!!! 🍰🤗😀

Caffi ardderchog a'r cyfle i roi diod poeth i rywun arall heb drafferth. Great café for all ages. Excellent coffee at very reasonable price (much nicer than the chain coffee shops). Giving disadvantaged people an opportunity without compromising standards (or maybe that's why the standards are so high). Nice view across the Maes from the windows / outside seats. And there's even a "suspended coffee" scheme so you can pay for a coffee for someone who can't afford their own.

Caffi Gisda is a lovely clean Caffe,situated on the Maes in the centre of Caernarfon, and within full view of Caernarfon Castle. Myself and co,workers were there for lunch one afternoon , and our order consisted of various lunchtime meals, b,pot/ TUNA ,SALAD. TOASTIES, AND EGG, BACON MUSHROOMS. Every meal camme out to the highest standard,all staff were lovely and very friendly. They will also serve you a meal if on a calorie controlled diet which other visitors at the establishment were heard to say was amazing, this Caffe is a little gem well worth a visit,to which i know you will want to return to , very clean, very friendly and accommodating, top marks for very reasonably priced meals. Well done Caffi Gisda

We ate breakfast here recently and could not fault a thing. Having spent the night in Caernarfon we needed a proper Welsh breakfast to see us through 'til teatime. This is the place. Really delicious, plenty of it and a bargain price. If you love a fry up, you won't be disappointed.

Food here is really excellent. Toasties and baked potatoes. Good coffee. Puds looked good but we were too full. Lovely service

I come to caffi Gisda often at lunchtime. Good homemade food, healthy. Friendly staff and good friendly atmosphere

Food here is lovely with a broad menu and affordable prices. Also I found the staff very friendly. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this cafe - staff are very friendly, the food is reasonably priced and there is a stunning view of the castle. The honeycomb tiffin is delicious!!

Me and Hubby decided to go here for our lunch on a recent windy Wednesday afternoon. It is a charity run cafe which supports vulnerable young people in the local area. I went up to the counter to get a menu. There was plenty of choice. We both chose the full all-day breakfast meal deal @ £6 (which included a hot drink). I was able to pay the total of £12 by card (contactless). The staff were helpful and friendly.

Booked a corporate Afternoon Tea with Gisda once again to be delivered to our event in Bangor.

Very nice food, and a friendly atmosphere. Not expensive and very good value for money. Friendly staff who were very welcoming. Nice selection of food. Good facilities (nice toilet :)) would definitely visit again (Dad said it was the nicest baked potato he had had in ages)

Visited for lunch with family. Lovely food at a reasonable price. Staff very friendly. Cinio bendigedig am bris teg. Gweithwyr ffeind

This café, run by local charity, GISDA, is my regular stop off when in town, even though I live only a couple of minutes walk away. Many of the staff are young people in training, and they provide a good range of hot and cold snacks and the ususl drinks. A bonus is the chance to buy ‘suspended coffee’ for anyone who needs it - the receipt is put on a board outside. There’s usually a lively atmosphere, be it local ladies sharing the gossip, or the kitchen staff flapping to deter the gulls from dive-bombing the tables outside - where you can sit with a view of the castle and watch the comings and goings on Y Maes (Castle Square). Who could ask for more? Well, they also host and facilitate groups for young people, and last year opened their doors at Christmas to street homeless. I heartily recommend Te a Cofi - why not skip the fancy chain coffee shop and share the love!

Always lovely food and coffee I prefer the latte to Costa to be honest great staff always happy to help you will be going there agen soon xxx

Lovely café, very good value and good choice. Also love the idea behind the café. Proper chunky chips too.

Bwyd cartref gwych. Awyrgylch meis. Caffi gyda phwrpas! Caffi gorau yng Nghaernarfon ar y funud! The best café in Caernarfon! Feel totally relaxed there. Great food. Great scheme!!

Brilliant cafe to meet and lovelly community spirit. Breakfest was delicious also really good idea to be able to give to homeless

This cafe is fun and intended to be a community hub for local people. The food is excellent and the prices very reasonable. The service is friendly and it is definitely well placed with stunning views of Caernarfon Town Square.

Very good food Friendly Staff and excellent service Disabled friendly.On the Castle Square near main shopping street

We stopped here for hot drinks and really liked it. Staff were friendly and efficient and nobody minded that my 4 and 1 year old spent a lot of the visit dancing.

There are many gems in and around the historic Royal coastal town of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, North Wales. Immediately in front of it's twelfth century world heritage Castle is the Castle Square with many interesting places to shop.

Came down to Caernarfon today looking for lunch and decided to visit the cafe, following a previous visit for breakfast (which was excellent, by the way)! Husband and myself opted for the 2meals for £10, one chicken and one beef burger, my daughter had the childrens meal priced at £3 with a drink included! All meals were fantastic, extremely tasty and of excellent quality! Will definately be returning

Fantastic staff and volunteers! Lovely food especially the home made chips! The breakfast is also lovely and a bargain!!

Sólo puedo repetir las observaciones de la mayoría de los comentarios aquí. Muy buena relación calidad-precio excelentes comidas sabrosas en precio ayudando a una buena causa al mismo tiempo.

A training cafe for young people who are vulnerable. Nice range of dishes and drinks on offer and very reasonably priced. A 'buy for the homeless' is available which gives them a free drink or food.

Mi familia y yo hemos estado aquí unas cuantas veces. Siempre vienen aquí para el almuerzo si estamos en Caernarfon. Buena comida a un precio estupendo no puedo pedir nada más.

I went here with my Hubby for lunch on a chilly Tuesday. It is situated at the top of the main square overlooking the fountain and castle. It is run by a local charity (GISDA) which trains vulnerable young people in the catering industry. At the counter, I ordered the 2 meals for £10 offer and 2 teas. The bill came to £12.40 (cash payments only). I also paid separately for a "suspended" hot drink @ £1.20. This process means that you pay in advance for a tea or coffee which is subsequently redeemed by a disadvantaged person in need. We had to wait a while (although we were grateful for the sit down) for our meals to be served. Hubby had 3 sausages, 2 eggs, chips and beans. I had 6 fishfingers, chips and beans. The food was basic but satisfying. I would recommend supporting this worthwhile project.

Lovley place with a fantastic view of the Castle. Friendly staff, very good food. Great value for money. Been here many times, never dissapointed.

We were passing by and thought we'd pop in for some lunch!Great food at a great price! The views aren't bad either! It's located on the maes with good views of the castle.I had the chicken burger which was tasty and my wife had a cooked breakfast which she enjoyed.They're also had a scheme going where coffee can be given for free to the homeless which I thought was an excellent idea.All in all a big thumbs up! Will be coming back.

Went here to avoid the poor breakfast I had eaten the previous day at table table by the marina. Te a cofi is a small cafe within a charitable organization located at the top of castle square.The food is freshly cooked and piping hot. Also plentiful!Not o LG are you getting a lovely meal here, you are also supporting a local charity. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

A good size and quality breakfast for under a £5er including a cup of tea!! thats value! As another reviewer said, this should be standard!!! I hate it when a breakfast is a £5er, then you have to spend £2 or £2.50 on a coffie/tee, what is the actual cost of a cup of tea? a bit of milk, some hot water n a tea bag. If you are buying a breakfast i beleive it should include a cup of tea. So well done te a cofi!!

As said in the title, the Full Breakfast served here is at a much higher standard than their rivals. On top of this, their breakfasts costs less than a fiver and comes with a cup of tea/coffee (really can't understand why this isn't a standard thing elsewhere?!). However, don't be fooled by the brex that they've got, as their choice of main meals are a bargain @ 2 4 £10. I would also highly recommend a freshly made smoothie with your order.Visited a few time with friends and family and have yet to be dissapointed! Keep up the good work chaps!

Good food and value for money, the staff were very friendly and the location was perfect for a bit of shopping after lunch. Brilliant idea to give local young people the training and opportunity to volunteer at the café.

Went in for lunch last week and was very pleased with the service and food I received. All staff were polite and the food was delicious not to mention great value for money.

After a trip to the Castle over Easter we asked someone for advice on a café for dinner, they advised here and explained the reasoning behind the café which just made the experience better. Delicious food, wide choice of snacks, really good service and an amazing opportunity for young people

Called in whilst on holiday to this lovely community based cafe. Service and food was excellent and even more so when looking into their story. Well done to all. I will be back.

Popped in for lunch over half term. Tasty food, good service. A bit cramped inside. Good location. Good value for money.

Pryda bwyd syml, ond blasus, wedi eu darparu gan bobl ifanc lleol.A really good venture, wide choice of snacks, well prepared. The venture of providing a business background for our youngsters is a great idea, and deserves everyone's support. Beth amdani!

I visited this cafe during a visit to Caernarfon. The cafe is quite small. The staff were polite and friendly. I did not have too wait too long for my food and there was a slight hiccup when the waiter was not sure which table my order should go to. The food was very good with generous portions and good value for money. In addition the cafe is run for a good cause.

Raises funds for local young people, and a minute from the Castle. Lovely cakes and coffee. Free WiFi and computers to use. Would call again.

My egg sandwich took some time to arrive but it was well worth waiting for - it was substantial and fresh with an interesting side salad. My cake was a very generous portion too. Great value for money.The TV was a bit annoying!

Popped in for some lunch whilst in the area and was pleasantly surprised.It has a clean modern interior and suitable for all,which was illustrated by customers of all ages.The staff were friendly and polite and the food and drink were very reasonable and well presented.I was even more impressed when i learned that the staff were mainly volunteers and were far better than those encountered in more well known corporate coffee houses.I think it's a brilliant idea to give individuals the opportunity to better themselves so pop in a support this great little venture.

I visit this cafe on regular basis, I absolutely love it! There's great coffee and a nice view of the 'maes' and the castle walls in the distance. One of the best things about it is it's amazing value for money!!Although I mainly come here for a drink and maybe a cheeky bit of cake, I have sampled a few items off the menu. The breakfast bap is a must for a morning belly buster, but my absolute favourite is the cheeseburger and chips! Proper burger with proper chips! It's such a treat to have homemade chips, I go to so many places and pay a lot more only to receive frozen chips, it really grinds my gears! The burger itself is excellent quality and nothing like the usual paper thin meat disc you get in McDonalds! You may not notice it straight away but the cafe is a local training center for young people and volunteers. The staff do a fantastic job with keeping the cafe running and supporting the numerous volunteers they have throughout the week. So to sum it all up - it's a great little cafe with fantastic food for a very reasonable price that also helps people in the community.Keep up the good work! 5/5!

The service we received was extremely good. The value for money was amazing as well. I spent almost half what I would if we had gone to a chain/branded coffee shop. We asked why it was so cheap and we were told it's because the café runs to help support young people in gaining skills and confidence to find work. They are a charity, and charge less as they may not offer the desired customers experience you might receive from a branded coffee shop. However, the customer service we received was perfect! The atmosphere is very relaxed and they didn't mind our 3 year old daughter bouncing around after her homemade cupcake. There was free Internet available for customers, delicious homemade cakes, and with tea served in large mugs it was more like a relaxed brew at home. Thanks for a lovely cup of tea for out last day in Wales. I would highly recommend visiting here if you are having a walk through Caernarfon and need some where to rest or grab lunch.

Roeddwn wedi cael fy mwyd a phot o de, ac yn eistedd wrth y bwrdd, pan ddaeth gweinyddes ataf o'r tu cefn a mynd am fy nhebot, a oedd yn dal yn hanner llawn, fel pe bai am fynd ag ef oddi ar y bwrdd! Yn ffodus, er fy mod wedi fy syfrdanu a bron â cholli fy lleferydd, llwyddais i'w hatal.I'd had my food and a pot of tea and was sitting at the table, when a waitress caught me unawares, by approaching me from behind and trying to take away my half-full teapot. Fortunately, despite being absolutely flabbergasted and almost speechless, I succeeded in stopping her.

Caffi cartrefol mewn lleoliad handi iawn reit ynghanol y maes. Byrgyrs bendigedig i'w gael yma, a phlatiad iawn o fwyd!! Lle bach iawn i fynd am baned a chacen gyda chwpwl o ffrindiau, neu am ginio blasus. Mi fyddaf yn ol yn fuan iawn. Homely cafe in a very handy location right in the center of the 'Maes', Caernarfon. Lovely burgers here, and a very generous plate of food for the price. Great place to go for a coffee and cake with a couple of friends, or for a tasty lunch. I will be back very soon.

Bwyty da, staff cyfeillgar, bwyd bendigedig am bris rhesymol. Lle da am frecwast neu ginio bach a phanad werthchweil

I love the Breakfast Bap they serve here. I smother it with Brown Sauce and take it home to eat. The Staff are lovely, especially the very smiley Manager. You can use their Computers for free. They have started showing Movies, fairly current ones at that!! I missed the open-mic evening but hope they repeat it in the not too distant future. Gisda offers a wonderful and much needed service to our younger community and really deserve our support.

Marvellous cafe - staff wonderful, all Welsh-speaking, food fast and tasty, and really reasonable. Last time we were in, we noticed that the gaff was advertising an open-mic evening, therefore giving one and all an opportunity to shine. Wales has got talent - so here's your chance, hogs! Ewch amdani, ia? A chefnogwch y lle, er lles pawb yn y gymuned! Da iawn chi latsh - mi fyddwn ni nôl o leia unwaith yr wsos o hyn ymlaen!

Lovely food welcoming staff and a prime location overlooking the castle what more can you ask for. Well worth a visit and once you have been it will soom become a favourite.

Tasty food,cheep as chips and the best service.Very clean and in an excellent location.Have got yourself a customer for life.

Honest priced café in a prime location overlooking the castle in Caernarfon. Great fish finger sandwich for under £3.00. all main meals under a £5.00 a must try for all. Friendly staff and great team This café will grow and grow .

brilliant location, excellent view of the Maes, the staff and volunteers were really friendly, food was excellent value for money

Bwyd rhad a llond plat hefyd. Gwasaneth da gan staff cyfeillgar. Cheese burgers yn neis iawn! Caffi yn cefnogi pobl ifanc I gael profiadau hefyd, felly werth cefnogi.

Lovely little cafe in the perfect location - right on the Maes.Quality of food is great and very reasonable prices!!Staff and volunteers are always friendly and ready to help..Definitely recommend popping in!
