Tir-a-Mor in Gwynedd

Delicious food, prepared and served promptly by friendly and helpful people. A wide ranging menu offers choice for all tastes and appetites. Highly recommended.

We were on a long cycle ride and needed some sustenance. Marvellous value food and excellent coffee. We sat outside and service was friendly and quick. Many thanks

My wife and I popped in and had a Full Welsh breakfast and bacon roll with 2 coffees. The food was freshly prepared, hot, and with good quality ingredients. I would have taken a photo, but it looked so inviting I tucked in. A photo of an empty plate would have been pointless! The coffees were the best (and served hot) that we have had on our trip to Wales. Plenty of seating inside and out and reasonably priced too.

Lovely spot for lunch, very busy cafe and the staff worked very hard to turn the tables over for the next set of customers. Great food and lovely location. Will visit again once we have another family day out in Criccieth

Went for a family lunch whilst on holiday & visiting Criccech Castle. Absolutely delicious! Very good portions. Beautifully presented & very good table service. We decided to eat outside but it was dog friendly so could've eaten inside. Highly recommend.

Disgusting. Nearly broke my teeth on the panini,and couldn't identify the filling. I am a local, and will not go there again.

Brilliant cafe in Criccieth. Well placed for beach. Ate breakfast here 3 times in 7 day stay it was that good. Rest of daytime menu looked inviting, add to that the takeaway home made cakes were outstanding. Very friendly owners and staff provided attentive speedy service. Looking forward to visiting many times in the future.

I had the Bacon Brie and Cranberry Panini, filling was ok but very little bacon, on it, what there was was cut up in pieces and spread out. On ordering i did ask if there was plently of bacon on. I expected to have 2 rashers on not little pieces chopped up Very dissapointed.

Excellent veggie breakfast. Proper tea leaves in a pot! Good quality ingredients and reasonable prices. Really friendly owner and staff. Very much appreciated 8am opening time on a Sunday, after we'd spent a night camping in the rain :-).

Fishfinger bap was lovely, quiche of the day was very disappointing...thin, tasteless and old. Also lots of flies in downstairs room.

Were recommended to go here as our 2 dogs were allowed in. We were welcomed by the staff nicely and chose to sit outside in the sun. The service was quick and the the coffees were lovely, but the cakes! OMG the cakes were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the staff were charming, the prices were as one should expect. We can't recommend Tir a Mor enough. We wish we could have you as our regular stop, but sadly we are just passing through.

Visited for breakfast on Saturday, 22nd June. We arrived at 11am and it was packed downstairs and outside. Luckily there is more seating upstairs. We had the best table for 2 in the cafe. I sat and had a view of the sea from the bay window. We had a great breakfast. Reasonable enough at £10.50 and included all the usuals you would expect. Everything was hot and tasty. I loved my tea from the tea pot with fresh tea leaves. This was our first visit (we are fairly local) and we came on the strength of their Daily Post taste test review. Young girls and owner were all Welsh speaking. We will definitely come again and we have already recommended the place to many friends and family.

We stopped by for lunch here after a walk along the beach after family had recommended we come here. I can honestly say the Chicken Caesar Salad was one of the best I’ve ever had! Make sure you go to this place when visiting the area- lovely atmosphere and fabulous food

Tir a Mar is perfectly situated on the main road down to Criccieth Castle, right in the heart of the town. We visited on 20/03/24 and whilst still just outside the start of the season there was a full menu of delicious homemade food available. Portions are extremely generous but make sure you leave room for the pies and cakes. The blackcurrant pie, lemon meringue pie and Victoria sponge are highly recommended. The staff are very friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I can recommend Tir a mar very highly so please dont miss it and if you dont have room for cake or pie take some home! The only down side for me and this is very personal is that they allow dogs which will be a plus for others.

Visited this lovely old town to have a good beach walk to Black Rocks and back and arrived here for lunch. Really nice and the owner was very welcoming and young staff very polite and courteous Great choice of food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Strongly recommend- only disappointment was the coffee - not very good really - rather lacing in taste and my wife had decaf flat white which was equally poor

We picked this cafe to have lunch in, in advance of our trip to Criccieth Castle. It was only a short walk away, and the pull in by the castle, and plentiful street parking were free. We had not been able to find the lunch menu online but phoning the night before, a lovey lady assured us of the wide menu, and saved us a table. We were delighted to find a warm welcome, prompt service and a full menu. I had the seafood latter, which was almost half the price of a well known other restaurant in the town. Delicious and plentiful, with a tasty salad and italian bread and butter. The tea was the best I have ever drunk, being served in an old fashioned china cup, and refillable teapot, using proper loose tea. My husband enjoyed his omelette and Mocca coffee. We did not have room for dessert (and we like our food!). We noticed young families, and older couples, all enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and food. We highly recommend.

We visited today for tea and bara brith which was very good . The only slight issue we had is that the bara brith arrived some time before the pots of tea - which meant we have more or less eaten it before the drinks arrived . However , they were busy so it wasn’t too much of an issue .

We popped in a couple of times during our 3 night stay in town. We just had coffee and cake. Other meals people were having looked very nice. I had latte and a piece of the best cherry bakewell I have ever eaten, home made, beautiful, moist and absolutely delicious. Lovely staff. A must for a coffee and cake afternoon!

We had a lovely lunch here. Small downstairs but more tables upstairs with good views. My seafood platter was delicious and generous with a generous portion of ciabatta to mop everything up with. Nothing to complain about at all.

Came across this delightful tea shop whilst walking in Criccieth on Sunday. Not many tea shops open on Sunday so what a find. Only had a snack and coffee but it was delicious. Great welcome staff excellent and food very good. Coming back to try there breakfast.

nice breakfast warm welcome by the staff and local from the chapel over the road seating inside and out in good weather of course two floors inside and some on street parking near by .

Found this little gem walking through Criccieth. We had a lovely meal and staff were very nice. Maybe one bugbear for some people would be dogs were allowed on the premises. Not everyone's cup of tea while eating. Overall though a nice experience and we would return.

Lovely cafe, great food (chicken and bacon melt was delish!). Dog friendly and only friendly comments from staff when our JRT took a minute to settle!

Lovely Welsh breakfast with ‘proper’ tea. We also had a flat white coffee which my husband who’s a coffee snob pronounced ‘excellent’! Definitely one to remember if you’re lucky enough to live in Criccieth or just visiting. Thank you.

Well this is a fabulous cafe we’re the food is exceptional. We have made two separate visits for lunch. The food was excellent and plenty was on the plate The staff are very friendly and helpful.

We came here 2 days for breakfast, one Welsh breakfast and one vegetarian. Both absolutely lovely and a nice coffee to go with it! The staff were really friendly and the decoration was really nice

Good choice of food, very nicely presented and very tasty. Off the beaten track but still busy. Well worth a visit. Friendly staff too

Excellent food always first class service this is why I return here often for lunch with friends.Comes highly recommended @ anytime of day -Diolch/thank you !!☆☆☆☆☆

This one's not to be missed! Stumbled across this little cafe as we walked up from the beach. Thought it looked nice and gave it a try as we fancied a drink and a scone each. We were lucky enough to get a table in the window upstairs, overlooking the street with the sea to our right. We really enjoyed our cold drinks (it was a warm day). I had an iced latte and my other half ordered a chocolate milk shake, which actually had real chocolate in it! Scones with jam and cream were delightful. We'll definitely be back, and maybe try some of the tempting lunch options on the menu.

We went on Sunday and although we only had two flat whites we were very impressed, the coffee was excellent service was good we were disappointed it wasn’t open on the Monday as we would have gone with our friends for breakfast.

Called in for breakfast whilst my son was competing the 'ROC' triathlon (running up and Mount Snowdon etc.). Lovely breakfast using quality products. Staff are young but very competent and efficient. Coffee blend was superb, very tasty. Would definitely call in again.

Wow, cannot thank all the staff enough. They were amazing looking after our family. Beautiful food, birthday decorations for amazing birthday cake and fantastic value. We all can’t wait to return. 100% recommended.

I was out for an early Sunday morning stole and came across this place by accident. I had a latte and a Bacon Bap. The coffee was great, the bap was amazing and the staff/owner was friendly and attentive.

What a delight to find a cafe/restaurant that serves good food and is dog friendly. The soup I had was freshly made and delicious.The coffee is also good. Plenty of staff and very welcoming.

Been before for lunch, nice little cafe and where I first discovered the Wild Horse brewing company from Llandudno.

A little gem. Delicious food , very friendly and welcoming staff and a pleasant and comfy setting. Has a very lovely lunch. Recommend highly.

Lovely little tea room/cafe. Food made to order - lovely and fresh. Liked the option to sit outdoors as the weather was good.

Warm friendly cafe, clean and with the BEST vegetarian sausages (imagine a bubble and squeak middle). Something for everyone and staff are very accommodating to flex the menu.

Our last family lunch of the holiday and we chose Tir a Mor because of the varied menu, positive reviews and outside seating. Unfortunately our food was served over a 50 minute period. Items were missing, a plain burger for a child came with relish...

It was Very busy but served quickly with good tasty food. Added bonus lovely clean bright toilet. Thank you.

Visited today and we were very impressed with the service and the food. Coffee was perfect and food really good. The staff were very welcoming and the cafe was immaculate. We’re going back tomorrow for breakfast.

Excellent food and service.... made to feel very welcome by Neil and Michelle.... HIGHLY REFCOMMENDED !!!

Best Flat White we have tasted in Wales! Good value, not over priced and fab service! We are 55mins away, down the coast….we’ll be back for food next time…croque monsieur….yummy, can’t wait!! Thanks guys👏👏👏

Originally we were going to the pub, however they were full. We decided to bob back towards the seafront and came across this little gem on the corner. Dog friendly, and just friendly all round with a warm welcome on a cold stormy day. We were spoilt for choice on the cakes and drinks but just missed the full food menu serving times. We had the baker herself working so asked advice on her favourite cake when we were choosing. Cakes were to die for so we decided to make the effort to go back for lunch the next day to try the menu. Simple but cracking food served by a very friendly team. So glad the pubs were full. Diolch am y croeso a'r bwyd hyfryd.

Spotted this place as we parked the car before our walk. Menus outside sparked our interest so decided to call back for lunch. Good choice of lunch options. Opted for the croque madam. It was wonderful; served with a tasty side salad & coleslaw. I need the salad dressing recipe! My husband enjoyed the crab sandwich & with excellent fries on the side it made for a filling lunch. Service was friendly & superb.

Went here on 10th for breakfast with my daughter,son in law,and granddaughters. We had 3 Welsh breakfasts and roll for little 1. The staff were friendly and helpful with us and our pram! Meals were lovely and value for money. Will I return?? You bet I will

We visited Tir a Mor on an autumnal October Saturday afternoon. There was a lot of flooding in the area.My partner knew the new owner and we were greeted well. We were seated upstairs and order's were taken. The beverages and food were very quick to be delivered and were of an excellent standard. Great coffees and salads very fresh. The cakes looked amazing and are made by a local patisserie lady (didn't have enough room for one!)Staff certainly get their steps in! The establishment was very clean ( including the toilets). Even though my partner knew the owner, I observed all members of staff to be very particular in taking others orders, tables were cleaned pronto and saw some great dishes being delivered. I wish them well in their venture that was bought during Lockdown I believe..plans are underway for them to open on the weekend evenings..look forward to that ..Bob lwc Tir a Mor xx

What a great find! Popped in for a coffee and ended up having coffee cake too. We usually go to Cadwaladers but were extremely disappointed in August so we we glad to find this little gem. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Wales as the food looks fab.

Food was cold, plate was cold and it wasn't great at all. Girl and one man was friendly but I think the owner (slim man) wasn't at all friendly. Mum lives in Criccieth but won't be coming again.

Situated just up the road from the beach, this cafe was a great find.We stopped here twice on our recent visit to North West Wales. On our way there we had a delicious toasted cibatta with coleslaw and a good salad, on our way back we enjoyed an equally wonderful cooked breakfast.All covid rules followed, toilets immaculate .Service excellent, well looked after by Neil

What a fabulous spot for a coffee. The food looks amazing too (not tried it yet). The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the upstairs seating area offers excellent views of the bay. This is my new favourite when visiting the area. You can even treat yourself to a glass of fizz!

I had a coffee served in a small cup but it was nice. It was same price as a large cup in other places. The scone came already buttered with no knife or serviette.?

Our go-to for coffee and chip cones! Great service and lovely staff, would definitely recommend! The girl making the coffee was really friendly.

Fabulous Saturday morning breakfast. Great value and lovely and fresh. Staff were really friendly, and the cafe is dog friendly which worked really well for us.

Excellent breakfast for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Excellent and welcoming service Very clean with lovely decor. Highly recommend this establishment.

Excellent food, bring your appetite for the meat ploughman’s. They service was excellent, would definitely recommend

Friendly staff who go out of their way to help and reassure in covid times. Cafe clean and inviting. Food delicious. Thank you x

Food great, been before and now under new management. Noticed Gwynedd 13's review, I know the new owners personally and they have not changed their suppliers for their produce

Had takeaways last week from this wonderful cafe which has recently had new owners. All seemed well but then soon realised that quality of produce has dropped especially breakfast ingredients like bacon and sausage. Have now heard there’s been a change of suppliers and it shows; not half as good

Called in with my family for a takeaway sandwich, the staff were friendly enough just a shame about the food, the ham, mustard & mayonnaise sandwich was far from nice, the bread was hard as if it had been left out uncovered which made the sandwich stodgy, not sure why its accompanied by a bit of salad & coleslaw when no fork is provided,

Called in for an early breakfast, we were served at an outdoor table, because of covid restrictions. Coffee and food were excellent, as was the friendly service.

We visited ‘Tir a Môr’ today for breakfast. Thank you Neil and Michelle for a great service and fantastic food!Everything is fresh and home made and so much to chose from!We will be back soon to try out the fresh home made scones and cakes!Diolch

Called here early morning whilst out on a motorcycle ride. Great coffee, nice breakfast bap and friendly service. Some outside tables as well as indoor. Will definitely call here again. Highly recommended

Mae’r staff bob amser yn groesawgar a’r bwyd yn dda. Maent yn cymryd pob gofal i gadw at reoliadau glendid a chadw pellter ayyb. Mae digon o le i bawb ar y byrddau tu allan a digon o ddewis o frechdanau a chacenau blasus.

Miserable day but this little cafe was a real find. Staff were pleasant and there is a good menu. Food was delicious. Will definitely go back.

Went here on Easter Sunday late in the day. Luckily this was the only place open still selling food. The staff were friendly and the order was cooked quickly. We had two sausage baps and a portion of chips which was good value for money. During the time it was takeaway only due to Covid regulations.

Tir a Mor was a great find. Absolutely superb breakfast and good service. We went during Covid so it was outside seating only, but the weather made this a perfect option.
