The Cambrian Cafe in Gwynedd

as I walked past this place so many times & I'd never been in until now. We had a lovely bit of breakfast here, as well as the toast .... you get fried bread too, what a treat that was. Oh & a cuppa with the breakfast at no extra cost either. It was a good price & much cheaper than anywhere else, & there was just the right amount of food, not too much, not too little. Shame it's selling now I've just discovered it after many years of both living & visiting Tywyn.

Popped in for lunch with my 11 year old as we spotted it while walking past just before noon. Thoroughly enjoyed our food, perfect portions and tasted delicious. The homemade options looked very tempting as well. Lovely and cool on a warm day, and very peaceful. No blaring radio or noisy kitchen. Friendly attentive staff too. Will definitely drop by again when next in the area

Had a good wholesome Sunday lunch. Good portion and excellent table service. Look forward to going again. Glad we booked as limited tables.

I enjoy coming here for value for money plates of freshly prepared food. My favourite is the old staple of egg & chips - made from real peeled spuds and fried the way chips should be. No frozen rubbish here. The dish of the day varies, every time a no nonsense balanced plate of appetising ingredients such as Maggie's (the cook & bottle washer) cheese & potato pie with "tinned" tomatoes. The pies/ crumbles and cakes are all made by Maggie too. Prices are extremely reasonable, which enables many of us with low incomes to have a wholesome meal often.

Many cafes seem to close on certain days of the week in Tywyn, but we managed to stumble on this little cafe, that opens for breakfasts and lunches, until 2.30. They did a special of cottage pie, that seemed to be very popular, but we opted for soup and a bacon sandwich at a very good price of £5. Leek and potato soup was really tasty and there was plenty of bacon, in the sandwich and we both felt full. The soup also, had been very popular and apparently, we had received the last two portions, much to the disappointment of a group of people who followed us in. The place was quite busy, but the lady taking orders, took the trouble to accommodate everyone with what they wanted and tweaking the menu to suit their needs. Welcoming and cheerful, she was everything you could wish for, in someone serving you. Everything on the menu was very reasonably priced and if we are ever in the area again, we will make a beeline for this lovely , little cafe.

We were a large group and the owner, who seems to do everything, was very accommodating (unlike the place over the road). The decor is quaint and the cafe is clean and tidy. The food was very nice and we couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was - Excellent!

The wife and I had lunch there today and it was totally faultless. The couple themselves are extremely polite, the food quality simply can’t be bettered and the service was very fast. 2 dinners, 1 desert, 2 drinks, £21. Superb value. Can highly recommend the place.

Called in for lunch on a very blustery Friday both of us ended up having a breakfast which was lovely. Maggie made us feel very welcome and will visit again when in the area.

We went in for some lunch ,we had a bacon & mushroom sarnie and an all day breakfast ,came to us piping hot and it was freshly cooked .The owner Maggie made us welcome and the place was very clean and homely with the teapots on the dresser. Will be back to try the cakes which looked yum in the display cabinet.

I visited here with my husband and child one visit to Tywyn. It was raining fairly heavily, were walking past and decided to call in. I'm glad we did as it's a very cosy place with a nice Welsh dresser that houses decorative teapots. All the food is home made, but I can't really comment on it unfortunately as we only had cups of tea and tea cake. However, what we had was lovely and just what was needed on a rainy Monday. The lady working there, who appears to be the owner, was equally lovely and friendly; I'd love to go back and try one of her Sunday dinners. The whole place is very clean and tidy. Go in, you won't be disappointed.

Tiny old school café, it looks like the owner Maggie takes orders, cooks and brings food to your table all by herself, so service is likely quite slow on busy days - No issue for us though as we popped in at lunch time on a weekday. Very nice cheesy omelette and homemade chips to die for. Partner happy with his breakfast (served all day). Will call in again next time up in Tywyn to try the cakes.

Lovely food great Sunday lunch family friendly the owner Maggie works hard to satisfy every customer and caterers for ever body who enters

Maggies Sunday lunch is super. It’s delicious, well presented and always comes with a good selection of seasonal vegetables. Her cakes and desserts are superb and all home made. My particular recommendation is her Lemon Meringue. Truly delicious

Lovely clean and very friendly place . Food cooked fresh and reasonably priced. Will definitely have to try there Sunday lunch.

Late call in for lunch ,greeted very cordially,very clean and tidy little cafe,and the food did not dissapoint,both had the beef,home cooked and well presented,no frills just good food,recommended.

Visitamos el domingo y tenía una fabulosa comida de domingo!

Llamado el viernes por la mañana 16 de marzo. Septiembre con media hora para esperar hasta que tuve una reunión con alguien. La primera vez que visita al Cambrian. Yo era el único cliente en ese momento, un anterior justo a la izquierda. El lugar estaba impecable y está impecablemente limpio. Pequeñas mesas con manteles ubicado perfectamente en la pequeña zona de comedor. Pedí un café y Victoria esponja en £2 libras - sí dos - £2!! En esta localidad que ni siquiera comprar un café. Posiblemente el propietario servido por ella era agradable y educado entregar mi pedido a la mesa, una generosa porción de tarta muy sabrosa y casera, café, leche y azúcar. No hay prisa para comer poco tiempo su lugar. Un vistazo al menú en la mesa mostró que ofrecía un básico de comidas que ofrece a un precio muy razonable y si algo como la tarta - tarifa probablemente muy bueno para arrancar.

We returned to this cafe to try lunch,we weren't disappointed. We would recommend that you book for Sunday lunch, especially during holiday season. The food was home cooked and very tasty and the home made puddings were a delight. We will certainly be returning.

Visited cafe numerous times but mainly for Sunday Lunch. Excellent home cooked food by Maggie, friendly staff and excellent customer service. Fantastic value for money.

Llamado en el último día de mi temporada y no puedo creer que hemos perdido este café.

For £5 it can't be beaten, a traditional breakfast well cooked and with my favourite fried bread. Proper toast and a mug of coffee on the side.

Homemade chips done very well by Maggie. Friendly face and recognises returning customers :) Have visited a few times with friends and verbally advised to other friends.

Al ser grandes seguidores latte y mi esposa y yo llamado en Semana Santa para 2 latte café. No es genial, había más burbujas de leche y aunque el sabor general fue agradable y estaba bastante fresco para bebidas calientes. No le gusta quejarse, ya que estaba lleno no queríamos hacer una escena de dos cafés

Went to the Cambrian Sunday for Sunday lunch- everything was freshly cooked and the service was excellent. Throughly recommended to anyone visiting Tywyn

As we stayed in Tywyn over the Christmas Period decided to have Christmas Lunch at the Cambrian After having a Sunday lunch there in the Summer. we were not disappointed and the service and food served by Maggie and her staff was superb.A good selection and excellent price for a Christmas day. I can only say that this comes with a good recommendation and if you want somewhere to eat while in Tywyn give it a go.

A lovely cafe which offers home cooked food. The owner is very friendly and obliging. The cafe is very clean and the food reasonably priced. We love to eat here.

Dropped in on a Monday lunch time to find that is was oap's lunch day, or so it seemed, the place was heaving with them, which is not an issue but the owner seemed overwhelmed by the numbers. Ordering was efficient and we ordered 4 paninis and drinks. The choice of filling was limited to say the least being bacon and mushroom or ham and tomato. 2 paninis arrived but the other two were conspicuous by their absence, i guess there was only one panini warmer...... Value for money was average. A young girl asked for a tuna sandwich and was told there was no tuna, a tuna melt panini is standard fare too, and there is a Spa shop and a Co-Op supermarket up the road, so come on cafe owner, ensure that you have the basics in especially on market day when you are likely to be busier

I go here on a fri with friends for breakfast it is such a nice café the owners are so friendly and make time to talk to their customers without compromising their service ,we order the cooked breakfast with extra toast and cappuccino ,every thing is always so hot and cooked to perfection never burnt ,I have also been here for sunday lunch the food is homemade and there is plenty of choice really deliscious sundays are very popular at the Cambrian and there is always a nice atmosphere with mixed age group of customers I have tried other cafes in tywyn but this is the best by far for service ,quality and reasonable price
