The Bridge Cafe in Gwynedd

A cute spot in Blaenau Ffestiniog - the only spot open on a Sunday morning after we had stayed overnight in a local slate mine. I got the hashbrown roll and my husband got the bikers breakfast - both were delicious, prepared quick and the couple working were so friendly and adorable. I would highly recommend stopping in here for breakfast!

Went here for breakfast which was all nice and cooked fresh, smallish place but nice, reasonably priced, The lady which i think was the owner was very friendly, the two servers who were young seemed to be unable to say anything maybe they were new or nervous but they were just fine.

Excellent customer service. Lovely hot food. Recommend if you are staying in the Blaenau Ffestiniog area.

Wow what a little gem. Food was lovely all cooked fresh the Bridge Breakfast is a must. Very friendly staff. One not to miss

Lovely cafe with quirky decor! Breakfast sandwiches were fab and added bonus they have oat milk as an option for coffee!

We visited the cafe this morning and received such wonderful service and delicious breakfast sandwiches and hot drinks.

What a find! A charming place with a quirky interior and lovely young staff on the Saturday morning we were there with our dog. I was really impressed with the two sizes offered for a traditional meat or a vegetarian breakfast, and a vegan one too. Even the smaller one was sizeable, and both had a charming little fried bread garnish - a lamb and a star! Great toast too, with thick bread. I really can't fault it. Great value, great food, great service.

Having caught the Ffestiniog Railway train to Blaenau we were in much need of refreshment and Gaile and her team were outstanding. Great ambience and super friendly. Food excellent.

Went here for breakfast with 4 other friends, what a quaint friendly little place. I loved the friendly atmosphere vibe. The food was delicious as well. Totally recommend the waffle & bacon was superb.. all my friends had the breakfast but thoroughly enjoyed there's as well. Will defo try stopping off there again.. thank you so much you made my morning

We found this place via trip, as we were early for our booking at zip world. Originally we were only having a snack, but after seeing other peoples plates we stayed for a whole meal. We both had lasagne and it was amazing! Really yummy. Only missing a star due to ordered a drink and didn’t receive it and our food got taken to the wrong table 2x and also the staff were all amazing but some seemed very young , they did great though not their fault! Overall really great hidden gem 100% recommend

Good food at good prices for a quick lunch bite. An old fashioned feel but in a positive way. Good paninis, a nice slice of steak pie and slightly too salty soup.

I took a trip on the steam railway from port Maddock to Ffestiniog on arriving at Ffestiniog we had a quick look round then decided to have a coffee at this cafe, it was busy with the people of the train so had a little wait which is fine but the price they charged for 2 coffees and the quality of the coffee was not great also it was only warm not hot, we never had time to complain as it already had taken awhile so we just drunk it straight down and left. When we got back to the railway station we saw they done coffee at less than half the price we had paid, wish we had gotten ours from there at least we could have taken it on the train.

After a session at the Zip World Caverns we...family if 4 stopped off for a quick bite. Staff very welcoming. Menu and decor was that of a cozy cafe. Food was really nice and reasonably priced. Place has a real charm about it. Yep...Nice to stop off and have a cuppa and sandwich.

Popped in on our way back from zip world and we had the paninis and a couple of afternoon teas, lovely food, great cake and wonderful service. Would highly recommend.

All cooked on order we had a lovely vegan shepherds pies, steak and kidney pie lasagne and panini. Got part of order wrong but fixed really quickly. Really good food ; friendly service and child friendly set up with high chairs .

The Bridge Cafe is a nice little cafe that serves a wide range of premium food for affordable prices, the cafe is nicely decorated with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, the owner is always looking out for her customers to make sure they have everything they require, if I am ever in this part of Wales again, I will definitely be visiting this cafe.

Staff were friendly, we had breakfasts which ee found reasonably priced, food was great, portion was of good size!

Visited as a family of 6. Staff were very accommodating moving tables together next the window. Very nice food and staff.

Nice little cafe like a tearoom. We had paninis and chips and it was nice. The chips were lovely and presented nicely. Service was good and they were so busy we didnt have to wait long. Nice location 5 min walk from the steam train...

What a great little cafe. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent value for money. My husband said it was the best breakfast he had ever had, and he's had a few in his time! The cafe was clean, tidy and...

Stopped here for breakfast, although by normal Timings we were a little late, but they kindly did us 4 full English breakfasts. They were lovely, freshly cooked and nice quality. Coffee and teas Good, who sends back a pot of tea? We sat outside as...

We stopped in here as our B&B were only supplying breakfast in a bag ! Hubby wanted a cooked breakfast . Service was good - but only one other couple in there. I had beans on toast . Plate stone cold - which meant my...

The Fawlty Towers of cafes. Wobbly table, forgetful server and a Welsh cake that bore no resemblance to anything I’ve ever eaten before. People on the adjoining table even sent their pot of tea back. Shame, as it’s in a great spot with fantastic views.

We came for breakfast, having travelled from Prestatyn through snowdonia national park and pulled up in a little slate village. We entered and the outlay of the cafe was brilliant, socially distanced arrangements which is fantastic, Staff were very polite, although there was a small...

It seems to be old quaint with a simple menu but the quality of the food is satisfying and you get decent portions. The chips were chunky, the sausage roll is large, the panini were also decent size. The drinks are okay too. If you...

I Loved this cafe, visited three times whilst I was here. Staff were very helpful, kind. Food was served hot, good selection of teas, scones and veggie breakfast available. Overall I enjoyed the food, the quality of coffee was better than other cafes in this...

We stopped off here having just come from the slate caverns because there wasn't a single option for us to eat as vegans in their cafe. The bridge cafe was easy to find and I'm so glad we came here! It's a mental place... The...

Visited the Bridge Cafe on the high street in Blaenau Ffestiniog to treat the kids (and myself). Took ages to be served and a very limited range of ice cream. So overall, not a good visit.

We visited this cafe three times during our week in North Wales, twice for ice cream and once for lunch. There is a good selection of ice cream flavours. The chocolate one was delicious! For lunch we had sandwiches which were served with crisps and...

good selection of quality food, served quickly by friendly staff. Nice area and so close to some of the best walking routes in North Wales. We can recommend this cafe to everyone

Friendly service, cosy, excellent food. Beautiful area of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Just across from the bus and rail stations.

A friendly host in Gail who provides a warm welcome. The decor is traditional and nostalgic. Great coffee as well. Value for money.

Arrived from a Ffestiniog train just after the cafe had closed but the lovely lady inside spotted us standing in the rain and opened the door to apologetically let us know they’d just shut. I asked if there was anywhere nearby we could get take away hot drinks and she let us in and did us a hot chocolate, coffee and two generous slices of tiffin which warmed us up for our return railway journey. Great customer service!

Here we are again, a year after our previous visit. The breakfast is still excellent. Service is still great. Staff are still very friendly and efficient. Will definitely come again

Doesn't open til 9am which is a bit late if your planning a day off exploring. Food was OK although there was hair on the toast

Great vegan breakfast (served until 2.00). Really friendly and attentive staff and a good selection of cakes. Really good soya latte too(which so many places get wrong)

Come by for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. We both ordered the veggie breakfast and it was beautifully cooked.We come back the next day for another breakfast, it was that good!The cafe itself is very cute and charming, all be a little dingy, but is easily forgiven.The staff were all very friendly also. Will be definitely be returning if we’re in the area again.

Looks a little tired and mixed reviews which nearly put us off going, but worth a visit for a good veggie breakfast and friendly staff.

Popped in here this morning. Friendly young staff, and a decent breakfast. Good coffee. Great vegetarian option too.

Needs a little TLC outside to complement the interior. Nice cafe if you venture inside and very friendly.

We had a lunch here on New Years day, so it was quiet. Sandwiches, baked potato etc. All were OK and reasonably priced.

went on the train really enjoyed journey and decided to go to cafe for a snack, decided on soup, was offered spicy veg, not impressed, think it was what was left over and watered down and curyy powder put in, will not be visiting again if in area

Thanks so much to this fab cafe for tea, cake & chips late in the day during half term, when everywhere else in town was shut! Without their cafe & free WiFi entertaining two bored teenagers for 2 hours waiting for the last steam train back to Porthmadog would have been a nightmare! The vintage China, yummy cakes & friendly service were also a bonus! Thank you so much!

Great little cafe, lovely helpful staff, fab breakfast, Clean loo, great ice cream, good value. convenient

Stopped off for a pot of tea and ended up with a lovely warmed scone, clotted cream and jam. Absolutely delicious, very helpful and friendly chap who served us and the inside was welcoming and clean. The menu looked varied with a good selection of cakes at the counter.

The prettiest and my personal favourite cafe in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Incredible vegan menu with lots of options and staff open to switching up meals to make them vegan friendly. The toilets where tricky to get to and weren’t accessible to all. Lovely staff, gorgeous decor and seating and food was perfect. Definitely coming back on return to the town! Thankyou

Popped in for breakfast. 2 adults & 1 grumpy teenager. Lovely cafe, plenty of seating inside. Everything was clean and tidy. Small menu, but has everything we would want on it. The food came quickly, was nicely cooked and tasted good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely have breakfast there again.

Popped in on a rainy day between steam trains very good service and to be recommended... A good find

This is my third visit here now the food is really good, can tell they use better ingredients than the other local places I have been safe to say the best breakfast I have had in a while. The staff are all really friendly. Will be returning here regularly.

Arrived to a nice welcome early one morning.

Trendy cafe with cute lights. Good clean cooked breakfasts. Very nice staff!! Worth a visit when passing

We went in for lunch, ordered cheese and onion and ham salad sandwiches. The bread was dry it didn't appeared to have been buttered and the onion was in large pieces, I had to take it out and cut into smaller pieces. The ham sandwich came without the salad and again was dry. The cost was £5.50 a sandwich, definitely not worth it, on the plus side the tea was OK.

Two of us had the large breakfast and it was, almost too big for the plate! However, everything was hot and perfectly cooked. Even with endless tea the bill was still under £20, great value. Service was friendly and prompt.Highly recommended.

This cafe is so lovely the owners are so wonderful and kind. This cafe even in a small-ish town caters to not only veggie but vegan which is amazing. The inside is really nicely decorated and the portions are great. Totally lovely, genuinely worth a visit.

Called in here for a cup of tea whilst passing through. What a pretty little cafe. A real pleasure to sit and have a cuppa in. Didnt plan to have cake but rude not to!!! Courgette cake.... wow. .. amazing!!!!!

Popped in for an hour to kill between train journeys because it was chilly & windy outside .. lovely friendly little place .. Big pots of tea, with extra water whilst we waited for food to be prepared fresh, soup, jacket potato & sandwiches .. all very tasty; nice fluffy potato & lots of cheese, others reported lovely leek & potato soup .. would certainly use again .. very cute decor too

We wnt in for lunch. We only wanted a few sandwiches and a sausage roll. After half hour chased this up, and they said they were just starting on our order, waited, and waited, and then were told that they had lost our order. An hour of waiting an no food! We didn't want to wait longer, so got money back and went to the mini supermarket next door for snacks. Only consolation was we got out of the rain and dried off a little.

Lovely Place very clean talking to the nice owner she was very interesting what she told me , i do live on my own in Prestatyn . Sure she would remember me Trevor.

Full English breakfast, great ice cream, high tea and loads more, with a very friendly and helpful owner in a great location opposite the station

Called in for breakfast (early afternoon actually) and were greeted by a really friendly lady (the owner). Ordered what has to be one of the best breakfasts we have had for a long time.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff and a whole menu of vegan and gluten free options! Very pretty and Instagramable

In my humble opinion, the best coffee and bowl of chips in Blaenau. Been quite a few time lately, sometimes it's been very busy and other times it's bee quiet, but never the less it's worth a visit.

Stumbled on this cafe after a day trip to mid wales.

We had a 1 hour stop over. Told the waiter that we are taking the 1.40pm train back. They said no problem. 25 minutes later and after chasing they said it’s better if we could all just have tuna sandwich. In the end we had to run with the paper bags they gave us to catch the train. Only later did we see that there were no chips and the sandwich was not toasted! £5.50 for a cold sandwich which took 40 minutes to make! Better to go to the CoOp next door!

The service was horrible, with more than half an hour to make some paninis and pizza, which almost made us miss our train, not only did we almost miss our train with the slow service, but the food wasn’t made properly - the paninis had to be changed to sandwiches which weren’t toasted and had raw cheese and the pizza was hardly cooked! Each of these meals was at least £5! Furthermore, the toilets were dark and not cleaned properly. I highly recommend not to visit here.

We stopped here after being drenched in rain after a snow storm and this was a very good decision. We ordered soup which was amazing. The tea and scones were so good too. Apart from this the host was extremely friendly. In fact she went above and beyond with her hospitality to make us comfortable as were needed help and she provided a lot of information and kindness.

We were biking in the heavy rain and snow with my friends and our first chance of some dry warm place after km of effort appeared to be this cosy café on our way, in this little town in the middle of Snowdonia. the welcome that we got was nothing more we could ask, delicious food for very reasonable price; extra friendly stuff that made us feel like in a family already and all the help and support we could get to continue our bike trip in such a wet uneasy condition. totally worth stopping by. perfect hub for exploring the surroundings

Visited on Saturday 2nd March 2019, more than pleased with quality of food, service and deco cannot understand any previous negative comments

We had a lovely selection of cakes and coffees all served by friendly staff in a lovely inviting atmosphere in this absolutely gorgeous town.

A lovely cafe and the best cooked breakfast you could ask for. The price was great value for the food that we got and cooked fresh. Have often stopped here for food or if not drinks and the staff have got to know us now and are so warm and friendly.

Nice cafe on a very cold day. A large noisy party were in and so we struggled to hear ourselves speak. The cakes and coffee were lovely. Unusual decor, very eclectic.

Stopped her for lunch after tunnel below, lovely doorstop sandwiches with crisps and salad for kids and I had veg soup which was lovely. Bought cake to take away and the sponge was beautiful and soft. Even had a vegan menu.

We were drawn to this cafe by the lovely, sunny outdoor seating area. It is in a great spot but that is the only good thing going for it! It was not particularly clean the the service was very poor. A smile does not cost anything. You had to stand and wait at the counter for your drinks. I ordered a hot chocolate which was insipid - it was basically just a glass of warm milk. There was very little chocolate in it and it was far from hot. I also ordered a piece of tiffin. My order came to over £6.00. Very disappointing and terrible value for money. Dirty tables too. Such a shame for a cafe in a great location.

Ok, so why am I talking about caving on a Cafe review. Because this particular cafe has a hidden experience if only you ask for it. We've come to Blaenau for several years now and it was only by accident we found it - there's not even a separate Tripadvisor page for it.

Lovely cafe with a good choice on the menu. Food was great and freshly prepared. Dogs were welcome. Location is right opposite the railway station with a car park nearby.

The only Café in the village that offered soya milk for vegans. They did have a vegan cake option but it was all

Quality of the sandwiches was average, baked potato and beans was ok. I’d say the food overall was ok, drinks were less than average. Consider reducing the prices

It cost over £8 for a chicken & bacon sandwich with approximately half a dozen stale Pringles, a tiny pot of coleslaw that was on the turn, a wafer thin piece of cucumber on top and a cappuccino from a vending machine. Not my best dining experience. If this was my local cafe I would make my own sandwiches instead! Decor was interesting though.

Unique cafe located directly opposite the train station & main bus stops. Lovely service, very welcoming and happy to help. A little dirty on tables, chairs & floors with dog hair.

Family had a really nice breakfast service good, staff very helpful and friendly would definitely recommend if you want a well cooked breakfast and the portions are very generous!!

We stopped off here for a light lunch in mid July, attracted by the outdoor seating opposite the train station. A nice location and reasonably priced but could be a lot better if some care was taken into the details.

Popped into this cafe yesterday during a short visit to Blaenau as it loooked interesting. Sat outside as the weather was nice...but noticed immediately that the tables were very dirty. It is roadside..but a regular wipe over would help. We had coffee and cheese sandwiches. The coffee was nice but not very hot but the sandwiches were very disappointing and not cheap. The bread was most definitely not fresh, the grated cheese dry and unappetising and the little side salad dressing limp and stale. What a shame..especially as this is the first cafe people see when getting off the train. A quirky little building that could be so good. Disappointing to say the least. Would try elsewhere another time.

We stopped in just for drinks. The atmosphere is really nice and the coffee was really good. We had already had lunch which was a shame as the food looked good.

Staff are friendly and polite, the food is just what you need hearty and yummy!! Simple but super tasty! Would recommend for a nice breakfast and a good brew

Called in for a cup of tea and loved this little place. The tea was good (not many places can make really good tea these days) the guy serving was friendly and we chatted a lot about the local area. It was cosy and warm on a cold day and very welcoming. The toilets are down steep stairs so no ideal if you aren't steady on your feet, but otherwise a nice place. Didn't eat, so can't comment on the food.

Was given a very small glass dish with squirty cream in for my scones. It just melted so scone was dry. If the man would have told me that there was no real cream or clotted like I’ve had before here I would not have wasted my money on the scone disappointed

An employee at the end arcade of pier has an absolute appoling attitude and aggressive nature.. not so long ago I was with my 3 year son, playing on the basket ball game. once we finished - there was one ball left, he came over and slammed the ball so hard, right next to my son... I was in shock, and my son started crying. Today we went there and we just left my 3 years bike just inside of the door, out of the way for incoming persons entrance. The same employee stood by the bike asking everyone franticly who's this bike belongs too. I came over and said its my son's.. "just move it" he replied... absolutely discussing attitude. So we left the arcade and he just stood there staring.

What do you do in Blaenau in the pouring rain when your train doesn't go for a while? I'm so glad I decided to pop in here. Lovely friendly cafe.

One of the best cooked breakfasts I've had.... and great value for money. Very quaint decor and friendly staff.

Stayed at a cottage in Ffestiniog for a week and went here for breakfast 3 times. We thought it was great. Nice setting, comfortable seating. Breakfast was lovely. Everything cooked to perfection for less than £5.00 !!!! If you're a big eater you can double...

Great food and good service. Staff /owners were very polite. Will come again. The decor is quirky and adds to the nice feel of the place

Only tiny but coffee was good and service was friendly and prompt. Toilets are down narrow steep steps, care needed

The decor is a wonderful mix of twee, kitsch and eccentric, just the right side of 'too much'. You get the feeling it started as a traditional café, and then grew slowly into what it is today, without the owner noticing.

The decor in this place is a little odd but we got served a decent breakfast by friendly staff. Portion sizes were certainly generous and the range of hot drinks was excellent. The toilets were very dimly lit and quite a number of spiders down there and the lock on the door was very stiff meaning I cut my finger trying to unlock it :(

We were staying in Porthmadog , and we had visited the slate quarry which was an excellent morning , we called here as well as its a small world , which was closed ,this cafe is next door even though it was quite , as it was nearer 3pm we visited , we ordered 3 cream teas and a Welsh tea , somewhat disappointed I would of expected cream , jam n scone , well that was two welsh cakes ,even two come with separate butters the other two were put on , 1 pot of Cornish cream , the others were whipped cream , so we got our drinks my friend ordered a flat white , got an expresso, half of drinks drunk , the so called scones turned up , 1 with a hair attached to the plate , would I go here again no. Very tired looking , would be nice to even advertise the small world as the same owners , but a shame a tatty posters not well advertised , needs updating , we thought it was like walking into the twilight zone

Wouldnt even go in there any more food is alwayse still frozen when they get served too your table! So exspensive also coffee snd that is alwayse cold its just horrible there!!

A "like time forgot " cafe serving tea in China cups, cakes-by-the-slice and all-day breakfasts.

We had the builders breakfasts and I had the light green. Cooked well, Glamorgan sausages were yum! Came out very quickly and all warm. Lots of extra toast. My latte was very bitter and needed plenty of sugar! Marking down for that and for watching a load of spoons being knocked on the floor and being put back rather than being washed. Oops! Would come back if in the area, to try the Welsh afternoon tea :)

Hubby and I went here for lunch on Wednesday. We sat inside (too windy at the time to sit outside). The interior decor was too cluttered for our liking. I went up to the counter and ordered for him a Bridge Breakfast (largest on the menu) with side portion of chunky chips & ketchup. For myself I ordered a beef lasagne and chips & salad garnish. I also asked for a pot of tea for 2. The bill came to £23.10 (cash only payments accepted) which I thought was a bit over-priced for the area. You have to get your own cutlery from the end side of the counter. The tea plus an extra pot of hot water was served almost straight away. We waited 20 minutes for the meals to be served. Hubby was generally pleased with his slightly greasy big breakfast which consisted of 2 sausages, 2 bacon rashers, 2 eggs, 2 hash browns, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and 2 slices of white toast. I had a good portion size of lasagne but I couldn't eat the blob of greasy orange cheese on the top. There was no vinegar on any of the tables so Hubby asked for some. The young waiter brought us a bottle of Aldi vinegar which was almost empty. Whilst we were eating, he asked us if we had finished with the vinegar as another customer wanted it. Hubby jokingly said was that the one and only bottle they had, to which he replied "yes"!. The toilets are down some steep steps which could prove difficult for some people.

Lovely cafe over the road from train station. Family friendly, Senior Citizen friendly, clean and tidy, friendly helpful staff, lovely lunch had by all.
