The Jester's Tower in Conwy

I had BBQ pulled pork sandwich with cappuccino. The food was delicious and coffee was very good. Beautiful view and the coffee shop has small museum downstairs. I really enjoyed the museum.

I love the decor. It is located in a tower . I got try the grilled chicken chutney. It was very different from American food. But I truly enjoyed the food and the experience. You man that took order and prepared the food was beer accommodating.

Very cute little café with delicious sandwiches and a huge range of vegan milkshakes, an absolute gold mine if you are lactose intolerant!

All bloody amazing, tad bit pricey but I have seen blacker days. My bagel I had was straight doughy goodness, would go again!

Stopped in for some takeaway coffee while I left my family searching for the perfect sabre in the shop next door. Friendly welcoming staff who know their coffee, beautiful views from the windows too.

Beautiful, interesting cafe with great food and lovely service. Well worth a visit.

Unusual cafe in a tower. Bit gloomy unless you are in the window seats. Comfy chairs. Strange dirge like monastic church music playing. We ordered three toasted sandwiches. Two of which had the speciality chutney I have never had toasties quite like these before. The thin cheap, supermarket sliced white bread was very dried out and barely browned . Looked like they'd been done in an air fryer . One should have been on brown bread but they forgot this and did it in white bread . Plonked on a plate with a pile of crisps. The worst part was the chutney, which was nice chutney but FAR! too much on the sandwich . More chutney than filling. It totally overwhelmed the filling and was all you could taste and it oozed out everywhere. Yuk. I scraped about 4 teaspoons of the stuff out of the sandwich and it was still too much. No one asked if our food was ok. Sadly a bit of a tourist trap. Very disappointing

Such a beautiful little place to stop off for some lunch and a coffee. The view was spectacular and the service was even better! We come from Pembrokeshire on holiday and to find this little gem after a long walk around the castle was perfect!! So thank you! ☺️

Awesome place for a coffee and a cake

A gorgeous little find, I sat upstairs looking out at the views across the waters. I had the best ever vanilla iced latte, so much so, I had two cups. Really lovely and friendly . Definitely worth the visit.

The best ever iced vanilla latte..such a lovely find sitting at the window seat over looking the harbour. So friendly . Would definitely go again if in the area.

Has toilets! Great views. WiFi. And great coffee. Friendly staff.

Delicious cuban sandwiches. Lovely decor and views. Perfect for brunch or a light lunch. Window booths have great views. Next to the knight shop

Came for a birhday brunch afyer visiring the tower. Lovely experience and not too busy. The staff were attentive and would definatly come again

Hard to find a coffee shop with better views than this cool place. Plus, the coffee and treats are very very good! The hidden room underneath is worth a quick visit too.

Called in for a coffee at the end of the day as the heatwave broke with a storm. Fabulous little cafe with great coffee and lovely staff. On visting the toilet down the tiny staircase found the little curio museum. The skeletons of the embracing fairies, The Conwy mermaid. Worth a coffee just to see them. Will definitely be going back there. Thank you.

Excellent tasty sandwiches, nice owners.

Had a fantastic freshly made sandwich at this place and a lovely Cherry Bakewell hot chocolate here. Would recommend and definitely go back.

We popped in for lunch, the cafe staff were nice, the inside is quite small, it is literally inside the town walls. The setting and views carry this place, it’s gorgeous and one of a kind. You can sit in alcoves right by the windows which gives beautiful views over the marina. The coffee was great and the size of the food was good but it’s quite expensive for what it is. I’m not sure how the food measures up in comparison with others in the area, I’d visit for the experience of being inside the walls rather than the food/drink being the attraction.

A lovely place for a cuppa and some cake whilst exploring Conwy, especially being dog friendly.

Popped in yesterday for breakfast. Best gingerbread latte in North Wales (I've tried them all), and the most delicious bacon and cheddar sandwich, (we also brought home some carrot cake which was very very tasty). Set me up for the day. Great location & atmosphere. Warm and friendly service, also dog friendly which is amazing. I definitely recommend popping in here if you're in the area 👌

Nice little quirky cafe with tasty food and coffees, dog friendly, nice staff, and laid back atmosphere.

Visited this cafe for lunch on a very cold and rainy day. Great toasties and coffee with super views across estuary. Round tower, may be part of town walls.

The usual warm welcome from Russ (the actual Conwy jester) and Kim. Great brew and delicious cake. Edited to add the toasties are amazing

This place has been open for a long time. I used to go for coffee here as a teenager! Revisited for the first time in years, to bring my children to the Santa's Grotto event, and the place hasn't changed a bit! Small coffee house with the quirk of being within one of the original Conwy castle wall turrets. I can't speak for the food, but heard good things about it and that they have great vegan options. I am pretty sure the barista is the "Jester" of the Jesters Tower and we've seen him perform a few times at the Llangollen Faerie Festival. If so, he's great! 🧚‍♀️🃏 Absolute best grotto experience (we've taken our little ones for visits with Santa, across Chester, Haworth, Shrewsbury, Liverpool and various locations in North Wales. But this was the most charming of all). It looked family-run and "Santa" was great with the little ones and it was personalised for the children. My skeptical 6 year old left with no questions or doubts about authenticity, which was a first! Reasonably priced and recommended! Half off for children who go to school in the local area and Santa is bilingual (Welsh & English speaking).

Highly recommend The Jester’s Tower! Really enjoyed our visit today. It’s a great little place. Friendly and hospitable staff, amazing coffee and a breathtaking view. Really looking forward to our next visit!

Wow! I highly recommend The Jesters Tower. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and hospitable. The view from the large windows upstairs were absolutely breathtaking and the coffee was to die for. Really enjoyed our visit today and are looking forward to visiting again very soon. Thank you so much.

Really lovely little coffee and sandwich shop off the beaten path! Make sure to check out the basement, as it contains a lot of interesting little oddities and historical plaques.

We didn't eat, so can't comment on the food, just had coffee. The Jester's Tower is featured in the new edition of the Indie Coffee Guide amongst some truly exceptional coffee shops so we had high expectations. Unfortunately I couldn't even describe the coffee as "good", hence my 3-star average review. We ordered flat whites, and what arrived was not a flat white. The milk texturing was poor, the coffee tasted under extracted, far too much milk which had no sweetness, not a million miles from automatic machine coffee flavour. Stands out as poor amongst the other coffee shops listed in the guide, couldn't recommend. Staff seemed unhappy. A real shame because the coffee kit they have is fantastic, a bit of training is necessary in its use. Views from the windows were fab.

Just called in for hot drinks, one being a hot chocolate, was asked if I'd like fresh cream & marshmallows, of course why not, absolutely delicious, it was like having a drink & dessert all rolled into one, thank you, lovely little cafe, great service, x

* pet friendly and expensive For the best view, consider requesting a window seat. The restaurant is a bit expensive, but it offers excellent service. I highly recommend trying their hot chocolate,it's truly delicious. Additionally, the breakfast options are ok. Do checkout the small display on the ground floor inside the coffee shop.

A fabulous location with great views of the harbour if you get a window seat. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The food is not cheap but very good value for money: I had the best club sandwhich I have ever had. High quality ingredients very well prepared. My final tip is: even if you don't need to visit the toilet it is worthwhile taking a trip downstairs ....

Visited for a coffee and sandwich after exploring the castle. Lovely views of the harbour from our table and the little museum of curios in the basement was a bonus. We listened to the Conwy Mermaid podcast while having our lunch.

Delightful little cafe in the heart of Conwy. Wonderful views from the window tables. Good selection of hot and cold drinks. Staff welcoming and professional. Dog friendly

cozy little cafe Popped in for a quick coffee and sandwich while moving on to other sites near the castle and harbor, Sat in the window alcove with a stunning view out across the harbour and other things to see.

Great food and quick service in quite a unique setting. Would definitely come back, cheers.

Hands down the BEST vegan sandwich I’ve ever had! It was a massive portion and was absolutely delicious. It was a bit more expensive than we’d usually pay back home but totally worth the price for the lovely food and great location. There’s even a little exhibit downstairs which was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be back if we visit Conwy again

What a little gem! We had a decent coffee and hot chocolate plus some really good cake, the lady behind the counter was friendly and acknowledged us arriving and leaving. Down the stairs by the toilets is a room with a mini museum well worth a look.

Pet friendly , vegan options available Good saff and trustworthy service Comfortable sofa chairs and wooden seating for group also available Nice cosy and peaceful place for solo travellers. Well maintained washroom Spacious basement with exhibition. Varieties of cutomisable options for food and drinks both warm and spring Seating area available downstairs also. Main cafe is on first floor. Fresh preparations of all food items Tip : Opt for toast sandwich Wifi available , no charging plugs near tables. Cafe also support NGO #Karmafoundation . Be kind and buy Karma drinks. Suggestion : can add spices such as chilli flakes , oregano , pepper, sauces for enhancing flavour to sandwiches

If you get a window seat, you get a brilliant view! The filter coffee was nice, and the dark chocolate brownie was really good. Edit: whoop, vegan cakes!

This is the best cafe in the town. Staff is very polite and helpful.

Staff is nice 👌 and food was amazing.

Nice staff..and food is also amazing 😋 .

Sadly there weren't any tables available for us. It looked nice but too small.

Expensive. Great views although you could get great pictures of the marina and the CONWY Castle by stepping outside. There's a small history museum attached to the coffee shop if inclined.

Beautiful place to sit and have a coffee and crumpet. If you’re lucky get one of the window seats to enjoy the view of the bay! The music playing was very calming too

A little hidden gem! Amazing food, amazing friendly staff, and an amazing building too. And such a wide variety of catering options, including vegan options and a variety of milk varients. Can't fault the place - if you're looking for a tasty toastie and refreshing coffee, this is the place to go!

Great lunchtime stop. Had a fabulous Ruebens Sandwich and cappuccino. Best since New York city. Great location within the tower of the castle walls.

Great small coffee shop with a hidden weird museum on the lower floor. Got the Snowdon mist tea and it was really great. Also nothing is overpriced.

Came to Jester's tower for comedy night. Coffee & cake very nice and staff very friendly. Comedy night has limited places as the area within the base of the tower is quite small. A good night was had by all providing you are very open minded about subjects covered by the various comedians.

We enjoyed our coffee with a view along the river estuary. The first time we popped in all tables were in use yet it was completely empty an hour later so worth returning.

Popped in for a quick coffee and sandwich, it's a lovely little cafe. Really good coffee, tasty sandwiches, and very friendly staff. Sat in the window alcove gives a stunning view out across the harbour. Really pleased we went.

Amazing coffee and cake shop with stunning views.

Nice atmosphere, great coffee and best views over the river.

A cosy place nice people a relaxed atmosphere with stunning views grate cake and coffee

Relaxing medieval music in the background and interesting medieval decor make this a really cool place to sit and play D&D. The coffee is great, staff are friendly and the the cafe offers great views over the bay. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice cafe, gorgeous deep filled sandwich’s that filled us up! Great selection of drinks. It was abit cold inside, but that’s due to the nature of the building being in an old castle turret! Could maybe use a heater on the colder days. Looking for some lunch bites on a Sunday afternoon, after walking around the castle it’s right across the road!

Warm friendly welcome, great food and drink, all served with a smile. My service user with learning disabilities was made to feel very welcome. Thank you so much for making him feel special.

Amazing atmosphere, excellent food and drink and brilliant service. We also went to the best Father Christmas experience in the area in our opinion, he was pleasant, well spoken and very interactive with our non verbal son. Thank you all for our time there today.

When I ordered my mocha I forgot to ask for it to be made very hot. When it had been serviced, I asked them to warm it up, and they immediately made me a new one. Excellent customer service, I would definitely come back.

I'm Vegan and I had a coronation (no chicken) jackfruit sandwich filling, it was delicious 😋 Bonus side serving of olives! Incredible Chai Latte (several dairy free milk alternatives😯 I had the oat milk). Bought Dirty Cow Vegan chocolate for a treat at home. Vegan cake Takeaway (3 choices - excellent) - I chose the Apple Crumble Cake which I'm yet to try.... Bonus points for being genuinely dog friendly with dog water and biscuits. Owners warm and friendly - I'll definitely make Jester's Tower a go to destination on my return visit to Conwy 😊

A fascinating cafe in the wall of Conway Castle. See you next year!

Popped in for a quick coffee and sandwich, it's a lovely little cafe. Really good coffee, tasty sandwiches, and very friendly staff. Sat in the window alcove gives a stunning view out across the harbour. Really please we went.

I thought I gave you 5 star , coffee was one of the best I've had, and my husband hot chocolate was out of this world. Definitely come back for more ... staff was friendly and attentive. Xx

Just had two take away coffees, the sevice was good but the small recyclable cups were ridiculous to drink from. Over designed rubbish, might aswell drink coffee or tea through a straw. Will not be visiting again.

Interesting little cafe next to Conwy Castle.Good choice of drinks and snacks, friendly staff, good service.

Absolutely awesome gluten free baguettes. I had the vegan coronation - super tasty. Lovely service and interesting surroundings.

Lovely cafe set next to the castle the owners are wonderful and friendly people the food is wonderful and very tasty, great views from the windows over the harbour.

Good café a bit small inside but has a downstairs with more seating.

Lovely little cafe with nice views. Called for breakfast. We had our very well behaved dog with us and struggled to find somewhere that would let him in. This little gem is dog friendly and the bacon toasted sandwich was lovely. Coffee was strong and HOT just perfect. Sick of getting Luke warm weak coffee in cafes. I will definitely have it as our go to when in Conwy. Clean, cute and nice staff.

Lovely little quirky cafe with great views over the bay. Lots of really great alternatives if you have food intolerances. Really enjoyed my sandwich and coffee whilst watching the boats messing around in the bay. Would highly recommend

Wonderful coffee shop! Customer service fast and friendly. Have ordered hot chocolate and latte to stay in. Amazing quality of both drinks! Strongly recomend

Lovely little coffee shop. Super staff. Good selection of hot and cold drinks incl some unusual options ! Cinnamon bun was fab and som enjoyed his carrot cake. Yum

Nice little coffee place with a lot of fancy drinks, good cakes in a tower at the city walls. Recommend going there if you like something special.

We just popped in for a coffee but the cakes looked so good we had a cake too it was all very good and the staff where very helpful

Great food, lots of drinks choices, fab service in a lovely spot.

Cafe is just across from Conwy Castle, next to The Knight Shop, and is run by Conwy's official Jester! Great selection of food and drink with a concentration on high quality ingredients (mainly locally sourced), carefully prepared and well presented. Lots of drink options with alternatives to milk available and some interesting mocktails. Staff welcoming and friendly. Cafe is in a medieval tower (part of town wall) and has views over the harbour.

Visited at the end of June, the cafe is now named The Jester's Tower. Seating outside, we ate inside, up the stairway. Very friendly welcome and efficient service, we had coffee and cake, delicious, and very good value for money.

Very lovely coffee and Ruben's sandwich is fantastic highly recommended, very friendly staff

A hidden gem with incredible views of the bay, plus the best coffee in Wales with a choice of plant milks. What a great place!

Lovely chill little shop, great ambience and vibe, nice food and friendly staff :) worth a visit if you're looking for afternoon tea and cake or just a rest after going round the town or castle. Lovely location as well!

Great atmosphere inside with friendly staff and quick service 😁 We went for coffee and food, it was all great (they have a vegan sandwich thats delicious).

Lovely coffee, with plenty of vegan options!

Great food, great coffee and great service

The sandwiches are made fresh and are delicious. A very nice atmosphere, the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were refreshing with amazing views from big windows with lots of airflow.

now called "jester's tower". ordered tea and toasted teacake. the tea was ok, the teacake when it eventually arrived was mostly toasted along with the usual packets of butter still frozen. nice views though

Had delicious caramel lattes and a croissant from this quirky little shop with a sloping floor! Steep stairs access only so sorry not for the disabled. Didn't ask if owner/staff brings takeaway drinks out for disabled.

Amazing vegan selection! Sandwiches were super fresh and very tasty will be back again!

Lovely little places to grab drinks and snacks in a very unusual setting. Staff were really friendly and helpful. They serve many alternative milks (including oat, soy and rice) and had a good selection of snacks. There are a few tables downstairs as well if not reserved so don't be put off if it looks busy when you arrive. A nice place to relax after exploring the nearby castle.

Hot chocolate was lovely! Would go again

Didn't get anything as when we walked in, the waitress was really disinterested and dismissive- really didn't want to be there. Checked the sandwiches on menu which looked nice but was turned off by the unwelcome tone.

Very nice coffee carrot 🥕 cake was lovely 😋

Best views of any coffee shop in Conwy, looking out over the river. Locally roasted light roast coffee and freshly made food. Deliciously perfect. Next door to the Knights shop, so easily reachable from the castle end of the quay, or by walking up Castle Street. (In a medieval tower so not wheelchair accessible unless you've got a catapult).

Great cake and coffee. Love this place!!

Might as well say jester's tower is our second home great food lovely hot chocolate and my daughter loves just sitting next to the window and watch the little boats on the water, p.s best Santa we've seen highly recommend seeing Santa! 10/10

Amazing Hot Chocolate and Decaf coffee. Wonderful hosts with lots of local stories to share. A lovely cosy stop off after our winter walk with the dog in Conwy. Even have doggy treats for our 4 legged friends.

Had a wonderful family vusit to see the real santa here

Absolutely lovely place. Really nice atmosphere, and coffee. Really good toasties and cake too! It's also really nice as an autistic person as not very overstimulating! Would heartedly recommend!

£££ For the price quite weak hot chocolate and cakes were on the small side. Nice place though

Great cafe, with excellent coffee and sandwiches. Fantastic view of the marina and authentic, castle feel to the surroundings.
