The Real Coffee Stop in Gwynedd

Properly good speciality coffee with indoor/outdoor seating in a lovely village. Flat white and cappuccino were both top tier. Will be back! Many shops and the river to explore nearby.

Oat milk | Vegan foods | Overpriced The vegan baguettes are great, but very overpriced for what you get. The oat milk cappuccinos are decent but small, and again, overpriced. The decor is not particularly cozy, but this is the only coffee shop open in the mornings in Beddgelert. In any case, we paid some 35 pounds for two sandwiches, a brownie, and a cappuccino. Crazy.

Prices are very high. Two cups of tea in takeaway cups were £7.70!! Will not go there again.

Popped into The Real Coffee Shop on a damp day in August as it was one of the very few places to sit down with a coffee and cake. Seating was outside but with the protection of a parasol, it was fine. The coffee and cakes were delicious, reasonably priced and the staff were friendly.

Lovely fresh home brewed coffe and great cake… brilliant cycle stop… no frills. Thanks for filling my water bottle too

The best sandwich and cup of tea I've had in a long time.

Little coffee shop with lovely atmosphere in the heart of Beddgelert. Chap behind the counter was awesome person having quality of engaging himself with customers. We got excellent service. Love the homemade cakes even baguette sandwich was full of taste. Dog friendly and most of times full of tourists because coffee is great here. Inside and outdoor seating. Surely recommend.

The humus and falafel baguette I had today was outstanding: not only was the bread delicious (no idea if made in house but if it is, bravo) but the filing was really tasty. Thank you for a great lunch.

Best coffee in the area / friendly welcome staff and amazing panini !!!

Very good coffee. We had a Mocha and a Vanilla Latte. Super nice. They had just opened and were still getting around. We ordered a morning coffee and a lunch sandwich for the train ride. He went and got the fresh sandwich bread and stuff and made it right there while we waiting. Very good and fresh. Perfect for the train ride. We will be back for more.

The best tuna and mayo baguette sandwich we had. Coffee is also very nice. Very fresh food and frendly staff

Excellent coffee, which is rare in tourist villages around here. Thanks for your focus on what matters!

Fab place, great coffee, decent sized cakes, great to have gluten free options. Steff was friendly and welcoming. We loved having our dog Scruffy added to the wall of fame..great idea and good customer talking point. Thanks Steff.

Has to be the best coffee in North Wales. A truly wonderful taste if you love your coffee. We will visit again one day.

Best coffee I've had in the UK. Very friendly staff!

Really nice little café in Beddgelert. Enjoyed one of the best baguettes I've had for a while, and they have Polaroids of all the dogs that have come to the cafe, which is a cool thing to do.

Lovely place in beddgelert! Brilliant food, lovely staff. My favourite part was the dog wall of fame - so many gorgeous pictures of all the dogs that have visited the coffee shop and we spent ages gawping at how cute they all are!

Very welcoming place and a lovely chat with the lady here and that was before the great coffee and lovely food. Will definitely visit again, especially to get the dogs on their wall! Hugely recommended

Fab coffee, amazing cakes. We came twice snd both times had the best coffee and cake and friendly service. I would thoroughly recommend

Such a lovely little dog friendly cafe with seating outside and inside! Amazing cake and coffee and the staff were so enthusiastic and happy to be there. (The dog wall of fame was also adorable)

We visited for a light lunch of baguettes and a drink after a walk to Aberglaslyn and back. Very nice bread used - the sandwiches were lovely and excellent coffee. Service was slow and tables not cleared but only one person working so understandable.

Nice ladies who served us quite small inside and wobbly table, very pricey for just a hot drink and cake

Super friendly ladies serving, nice good and coffee. Super dog friendly for extra points. Was looking forward to meeting the apparently angry grumpy man who works here but nope, everyone very friendly

The most friendly coffee shop we’ve ever visited. We popped in on a very wet Monday evening when everything else was closed and had a fabulous coffee and cake. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble.

Lovely staff. Vegan options . Beautiful vegan raspberry croissant.

Our favourite place for a coffee in Beddgelert. Great tasting, and friendly service

Lovely little coffee shop, excellent family service and welcoming to doggos. Highly recommend.

We were waiting for the bus after opening hours. This lovely worker got is some pastries and made sure that we did not get wet in the rain. Thank you💜

Super helpful lady called Steff great coffee and delicious baguette. I would definitely come again

Super friendly staff behind the counter, patient with my son who struggled to choose. Food exceptional! Sensibly priced too.

We went in for a coffee and came out with a plan for what to do for the day. The Batista's local knowledge was invaluable and she was so friendly and welcoming. Coffee was great too! Thank you

Popped in for a drink to warm my daughter and I up after getting caught in drizzle! Made to feel very welcome, lovely young lady served us with fab hot chocolates (extra marshmallows for my daughter - thank you!) and was telling us about upcoming plans for an overhaul now its under new management. Looking forward to a return visit to see things progress,

Great little coffee shop with a friendly atmosphere and staff. Amazing coffee and will stop by next time I'm coming through Beddgelert :)

Terrible. Loud music, smell of cigarettes, no food on display, unpleasant man behind the counter and overpriced. Avoid like the plague. Beddgelert has much nicer venues and friendlier people.

The chap behind the counter (I haven’t ascertained whether he was the owner or not) said he “couldn’t” serve us because I was masked. Hmmm. There was no visible food available, so I can’t comment on that. Maybe they keep it out the back behind the sacks covering the wall? We immediately decamped to Emrys House next door, and got two delicious coffees for half the price they would have been at The Real Coffee Shop. Afterwards my husband said he had reservations about going in because he’d heard the same man outside ranting to an (agreeing) customer about the influx of migrants. Obviously this is massively unpleasant whatever the circumstances, but the irony here is that he’s the only person we’ve encountered in any of the shops and businesses who seems to be English rather than Welsh. I don’t know if he’s genuinely unaware of this, or whether the coffee shop is just a setting for a live action dramatisation of daily life on Twitter. Anyway, go there if you want to marvel at the nonsense for a bit, but then go buy your coffee and snacks from the gorgeous folk next door.

Owner refused us service because we were wearing face masks. I replied it was due to health conditions and elevated risk but he said he “hated them” and refused service. A real shame, I would’ve liked a take-away coffee and don’t see how my personal choice to wear a mask should impede his ability to make one. I support his choice to not wear a mask whilst conducting his business, but don’t see how my own precautions should have made him so anxious and agitated. I let him know it was nothing personal against him and explained our position calmly, but it seems we are not the only ones who have had a bad customer service experience here. A difference of opinion should not be used to justify targeted harassment of customers and a refusal of service. Is this legal?

Lovely coffee, fabulous playlist - a mix of old classics and some more avant-garde tracks which made the whole coffee purchase experience feel like we were in a performance art piece - in a playful, life-affirming way. An unexpected source of joy. It was also good to have non-dairy options. Thank you, Real Coffee Stop.

Great coffee, lovely setting, excellent service.

We stopped at this coffee shop on a whistlestop tour of the area. The coffee was small but omg it is the best takeaway coffee I have ever had, strong, smooth and chocolatey. I’d love to know what brand they use. I can’t comment on the service or food, but coffee delicious 😊👍

We only had coffees did look at the food looked nice but I did think a little expensive. Lovely coffee though.

The person who runs this place was very, very rude to us, we were visitors to the town and hadn’t realised that we had sat down on his picnic benches to eat a sandwich and drink a coffee. We had in fact purchased our refreshments in the store next door and ‘by mistake’ sat on his picnic benches to eat our food. The ghastly man ran out of his shop and screamed at us “when you have finished, do not use my bin to put your rubbish in or sit at our tables”…..he was extremely rude, obnoxious and unkind. All it needed was for him to explain and we would have apologised. I asked him to not be so rude but he just ranted

Perfect nights stay, felt spoilt rotten, amazing view, very clean, comfy bed, hot shower. 100% recommend to all

Lovely place. We visited in April before Easter and had really good tea and coffee, a nice chat with the man serving (owner?) and he even gave a free toy to each our three kids. Made us feel really welcome and the drinks were spot on too. Thank you!

Says fresh baguettes made to order... 1 choice of cheese or nothing else. 1 choice of panni ham and cheese Took 20mins to get 2 coffee and 3 panni's Owner was rude and ignored me when I tryed to get his attention, he was more intrested in cleaning his already clean coffee machine and messing with his loud music. Save your money and find somewhere else.

Fabulously tasty coffees to kickstarter our adventures each day! Well worth stopping by when visiting Beddgelert or passing through. Super friendly service, always smiling and attentive 👍😁👍

Giving a 1star because your website days you are open but after visiting today you are not, not good business for tourists.

Witnessed the owner be abusive to cyclists for throwing empty an empty water bottle in his bin, even taking it out and throwing it at him, I was about to order a coffee as it was wet and windy but decided to freeze than give him custom. Go across the road the Prince do nice coffee with indoor seating.

Lovely service and coffee. Great experience from a very friendly owner.

Shocking, couldnt be bothered, shocking, stupidly priced, shocking, inedible, shocking, tasteless, shocking !!!!

To be fair, I can't really rate the coffee, as we didn't get served. We waited for quite some time, music on full blast in the shop, were not even acknowledged by the staff, gave up 3 songs in and went up the road, where they were perfectly lovely.

Nice coffee, nice food. Absolutely baffled by the animal sounds being played inside (sheep, cows, lions, elephants etc). Very, very odd, and completely offputting. Maybe stick to Radio 1...

Visited Beddgelert this week and very little was open. After our walk we spotted activity at the coffee shop and joined the queue. It turned out, the gentleman had only opened to let a tradesman in and had ended up with a queue of people one of whom had to fetch milk from next door so he could serve us all. Lovely welcome coffees and a panini at a very reasonable price. Thank you from grateful customers!

Best coffee and cake in North Wales

I think this owner has OCD as when I pointed to the sandwich I wanted I accidentally touched the window with my finger which resulted in the owner shouting at me like I was a naughty school boy saying now I've got to disinfectant the bloody window again thanks to you! I never seen such a reaction in my life and I'm 60 years old! Food has no price on so its a shock when it £6 a baguette. I'm surprised this establishment is still making money with such a horrible man as serving people with such a horrible attitude! Please avoid with a mile radius!!

Very expensive food & drinks! The most unpleasant welsh person in Wales! No sales technically at all moans at you if you touch his window! So lost our trade and hopefully a lot more once people read this! Go else ware for your food much cheaper and better value! AVOID!

Wish I could rate lower. I suffer from a number of issues related to my autism, issues regarding depth perception being one such issue. Upon visiting the shop at the end of august my nail accidentally tapped the glass of the window displaying all the cafe’s very limited selection. I hadn’t meant to touch the glass but accidentally tapped it ever so slightly. The, who I presume is the manager, then stormed over screaming ‘now I’ve got to disinfect the glass again thanks’ in the most blunt way possible. I brushed this off as a joke only for this awful man to then say ‘what’s the MATTER with you’ in front of all the customers. This shook me and I had to leave with my friends, I simply couldn’t believe the way he had spoken to me for such a tiny accident. As I was about to leave he washed the window right in front of me, treating me as if I was some nasty unwelcome germ. Not good. I have informed many friends and autism groups now to avoid this place. How dare the manager think it was ok to speak to a customer who made an honest and unintentional mistake. I’ll never forget the disgraceful way to which I was spoken, a dampener on an otherwise lovely trip of North Wales. So yes, unless you want to be treat as unwanted filth, best avoid this place and it’s vicious owner. I feel tremendously sorry for the other staff who have to work alongside him.

Went for a hit me up coffee first thing. Don’t get there before 9.30 because he won’t serve you. What we had was fresh warm and strong, just what was required

Delicious coffee and pastries ! We loved calling into this little place whilst we were there. Amazing service too, the girl working was absolutely lovely !

Only making a delivery there, but it seems very popular with the tourists

Coffee as you would expect, great. Option for non-dairy limited to oat milk. Quite a choice of cakes, bit pricey but I guess a popular tourist stop.

The most expensive sandwich I have ever brought. Really cashing in on people like us who are trying to help the Welsh economy! £12 for two small ham and cheese and tomato cob !! Definitely not worth the money..won’t be visiting that shop again.

Really great for a coffee and cake or panini

Unlike most places in Beddgelert this small coffee shop actually bothered opening on a Sunday evening in high tourist season and was attracting a steady flow of customers. The guy serving was in good humour after what must have been a very long day. There...

Visited here after an awful meal at the saracens head, and it was just perfect. Delicious freshly made cakes and delicious drinks. Can’t return to return to this amazing little coffee shop

Amazing coffee, lovely panini's and great service. What a find! The lady was friendly and easily able to cater for vegans, veggies and meat eaters.

Lovely spot for coffee with good outdoor seating. Panini there too if you're after lunch.

The Real Coffee Shop needs to get its act together. The panini and coffee were both nice but why on earth are they served like on a plane - in plastic cups and a plastic container. The table was now cleaned from previous occupant before...

Stopped here on a drive through The service was the best due to them being so busy They were still prepared to make fresh baguettes for us all 3 were freshly made with the best ham and cheese- please ensure you support these guys they...

Excellent coffee, panini's & service. Will be back on our next visit!

A fantastic little cafe stop in the centre of Beddgelert.. Coped well with 9 cycling ladies descending unannounced! Cute little seating area..enjoyed the yodelling....cheers 👍

Lovely friendly little shop. We enjoyed baguettes and a great cup of tea here. It was very busy and I can understand why. Happy friendly staff with a lovely selection of fresh food.

Unusual coffee shop, everything is serve yourself, very little assistance from staff or rather no assistance from staff. Select food from window, nothing is priced except selection of coffees, so it comes as a shock when two baguettes and a coffee in paper cup was £15.30 (better than city centre prices) the coffee was very good, the baguettes were excellent very tasty. I feel that the little cafe was being run on a part time basis, the gentleman taking the orders was a little scruffy with little personality. Real shame it could have been a pleasant snack meal, spoilt by the price and lack of professionalism.

We had 3 great latte's there last Friday and were so impressed with the quality of their coffee we went back for more before heading home. It's just a small takeaway with some outdoor seating in the heart of Beddgelert near the car park and...

Lovely rest stop. Freshly made coffee and snacks.

Despite the horrendous weather this was a real sunshine coffee stop with scummy cakes. Great find, great cakes & great smiles. Maverick my dog even got some food. We both loved the place. Thank you.

Despite the weather it was a real sunshine coffee stop. Great coffee, yummy cake, treat for Mav. Great find, great coffee & great smiles. Thanks.

Yes the coffee is good but neither of the proprietors wore face masks or followed any social distancing rules! I had the audacity to ask for a sweeter in my latte, which appeared to cause much amusement between these Covid non compliant so called coffee connoisseurs.

Great coffee and baguettes at good price. Very delicious

Excellent coffee, a lovely coronation meatball sandwich and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

If you like a proper coffee, this is the place to go. There was some music on in the background which my children enjoyed and decided to have a dance outside which the gentlemen who was serving us had seen and came over to teach...

Stopped here for a quick coffee before taking the steam train. The shop is pretty small inside - so you will soon make friends if it is busy. The coffee was good and the cakes were very good - especially the chocolate and caramel slice....

Outstanding spot to find in a little town. Cappuccino, latte, mocha all delicious, served up by friendly barista. So good we dropped in every day of our stay. The cakes are all excellent, tried the carrot cake, Victoria Sponge, Welsh cake, Millionaire Shortbread, others I...

The cappuccino was top of the line. Really nice beans used. Nice guy serving very relaxed. Def coming here again when I’m in Nth Wales

Genuinely great, real coffee, indeed. Prices are high. The older bloke was a real rip off merchant: he claimed he couldn’t do a single espresso for £1.80 and charged me £2.20 twice for a double as ‘the machine was not set up for single espressos’ - which to a trained barista is utter utter BS: You pickup the single handle and basket from the top of the machine where it’s lying and use that with a quick manual bean grind or single click - which takes about 0.85 seconds more - busted, son!

Called here last week. Cafe very small would only cater for 11 people inside with 3 small tables and about the same outside. Lovely cup of fresh coffee and wonderful choice of cakes. Took a little time to get served as only one person serving....

Great coffee (and I’m a London coffee snob), amazing cake, and lovely service! 18month old son said “I love cake”, and he barely say mummy/daddy! Must visit if you like coffee and cake.

Service super, der selbstgemachte Kuchen, Smoothie und Kaffee waren lecker. Drinnen gibt es leider nur sehr wenige Sitzplätze.

Brilliant coffee, delicious cake and thoughtful service with a smile. Very happy customers who will be back for more!

Lovely staff. They don't take cards so bring cash. They allow will behaved dogs inside 😄

We had a fabulous mocha (one with almond milk and one with regular milk) after a long hike. Service was excellent and they clearly use high quality chocolate for their mochas.

First time to visit the beautiful village of Beddgelert so first time to visit this coffee shop. I had the most amazing quality cappuccino and my husband had a mocha which was the best he had ever had. There were also fantastic home made cakes. We didn't have a dog but it is dog friendly with bowls of water outside.would definitely recommend.

This is the best coffee in the U.K. in my opinion. I love my coffee and was really impressed with the quality of my cappuccino. There was also amazing home made cakes . We didn't have a dog but dogs were welcome outside and bowls of water were provided.

Very friendly lady served us best flat white I've had in ages, strong and full of flavour. The lemon drizzle also brilliant. Will be back. Highly recommended. Dog friendly too.

Cycling in Snowdonia you need coffee and cakes. They did not disappoint! Very friendly service at reasonable price. Plenty of space outside on a good day

Stopped for a coffee and cake. Very nice.

We had had a great walk getting off the steam train and walking back to the town . We were met with warmth and friendly atmosphere. We had to get to the station and service was speedy. Delicious food

Found this cafe by chance having had to pop to the local NHS Wales Walk minor injuries unit! The service was great, good selection of food and drinks. Would happily recommend that people pop in if they are in the area

Excellent coffee. Best in town by far.

Called in for mid morning coffee but tempted by the Victoria sponge and scones. Service quick and cheerful scones still warm served with excellent jam and clotted cream. Massive piece of sponge as well. Good quality coffee. Small indoor seating area and tables outside. Very good indeed. A number if coffee shops in the town this is the best one we have been to.
