Ty Mawr Tea Room in Gwynedd

Stayed in the B&B for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Emma and Menno are terrific hosts, very caring and proactive in making your stay a great one. Breakfast is top notch and it was a perfect spot to base myself for exploring Snowdonia, including a walking trail to the pretty nearby Beddgelert, complete with rain gear kindly borrowed from Ty Mawr. Thanks again!

After lunch at the pub, I fancied a dessert and was delighted to see the tea room open. I called in and asked for two slices of their ‘Dutch Apple Tart’ to take away. The owner, who was there with her husband responded, ‘Sorry, we don’t have the capacity to do that!’ A somewhat bizarre reply, there was one other customer and I would have thought that placing two slices of tart into a paper bag or something similar, wouldn’t present too much of a challenge. I’ve eaten there a few times previously and have always enjoyed the food, despite being relatively small inside and with only two chairs outside, it has a pleasant ambience and thus I wouldn’t downgrade it simply because of this disappointment and I shall definitely return.

Great little cafe , with fab food , great dutch coffee , superb home made cakes and genuine people running the best cafe in north wales . but don’t tell everyone........a v special place

Ook weer zo leuk. Gaat de voordeur open en een warm goedemiddag klinkt er. 2 nachten sliepen we hier. Veel Nederlanderse gasten hebben ze vertelde ze ons. Hielpen met onze route en wat we konden bezichtigen. Leuk hoor. We voelden ons zeer welkom. Een minpuntje....de auto moest langs de weg staan. Gelukkig reed er 's avonds bijna niemand. Dus ook niks gehoord terwijl we aan de weg sliepen. Ontbijt was super lekker.

We zijn heel gastvrij ontvangen door Emma en Menno. Menno had op de dag van aankomst al een plekje voor ons gereserveerd in de pub 200 meter verderop. Ontbijt is heerlijk, vers gemaakt met diverse keuzes. De kamer is van alle gemakken voorzien. Telefoon had geen bereik daar maar de WiFi is prima. Omgeving is prachtige o.a. de wandeling naar Beddgelert. Fijn dat de bus voor de B&B stopt.

Out cycling through Snowdonia/Eryri with friends and in need of refreshments we happened across Ty Mawr Tea Room and what a great find. Hospitality was welcome and the food & drinks just first class. So glad we stopped by, will definitely be seeing you again. Thank you

We had the most fantastic breakfast here, the coffee and pancakes were amazing and the hosts so friendly and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Recommended by the guard on the Ffestiniog we popped in here for a coffee and pancake. Great food and great service before our walk. We will be back.

Travelling on our moter bike in our area have passed this place felt like coffee approached asked one shot coffee not drinkable paid and left ,possibility because we were on a moter bike we are not thugs just ordinary people enjoying our hobby,felt unwelcome.

Simply fantastic! 7 grown-up men without any lunchpacks arrived at this friendly place and got served delicoius food and drinks, AND bought good sandwiches to bring on the trip up the mountain. Highly reccomended!

Scenic, excellent hosts, comfortable & perfect location for walking in different directions. Delicious breakfasts if you decide to stay. Lucky to have met such wonderful people. Incredibly hospitable.

Just returned from a three night stay and everything was great - the owners are very friendly and can't do enough for you. Breakfasts were excellent and the cakes are superb. Would definitely return if in the area again.

We stayed at the b&b and the home made food was so delicious, we had for take some away. My other half wants to make a trip back just for the Baerabrith cake! Don’t leave without trying the coconut and lentil soup and the Speculaas. The tearoom has such a beautiful design and is set just at the foot of the mountain - in the most beautiful surroundings. The owners are so accommodating- don’t hesitate! Thoroughly recommend!

We ate here today after coming 2 years ago and loved the food so much we had to come back. Lovely quaint tearoom, owners are very friendly and provide a great service and the food is simply delicious. Best tea room I've been to!

Excellent food; pancakes are the best- Dutch apple cake is fantastic -and coffee is amazing as is the friendly welcome xx

I have stayed here many times over the last five years or so. This place is home from home with better cooking and cakes. The owners are helpful, thoughtful and practical. This time I stayed in the en suite room at the front for four nights, I had a packed lunch made up each day (£5.50) extra. The place is simple, very clean and well priced. Snowdonia on your doorstep, what’s not to love? Thank you Emma and Menno. See you again soon 😁

We cycled here on the fantastic trail from Beddgelert. The coffee and cake, recommended by the bike hire people, just added to the experience. Delicious, thank you for adding to our last day !

I stopped at this little cafe after completing a climb of Snowdon. It was quite a warm day so I thought I'd try the homemade lemonade. What a taste and just what was needed to quench the thirst. Also had a coffee and a toasted...

After a nice hike around Lake LLyn Dwyarchen we walked back into Rhyd Ddu and stopped in at Ty Mawr Tea Room for lunch. Hosts Emma and Menno are wonderful and provide delicious tea, cakes, Welsh Rarebit, sandwiches and much more. I really enjoyed the...

Nice little basic tea room to go to after walking. reasonably priced and nice food, yummy shortbread biscuits to take away :)

Wir haben das B&B von Emma – eine Engländerin – und Menno – ein Niederländer aus Nijmegen drei Nächte lang...

Excellent tea, great cakes. Quirky proprietors. Very welcome place to sit down and recover after our long hike!

We chose to stay at Ty Mawr due to its excellent location at the foot of the Rhyd ddu path up Snowdon. It didn’t disappoint . The accommodation and Breakfast were both fantastic. The owners are genuinely lovely, very welcoming and provide very thoughtful touches...

Cycled from Bedgellert along the track and found this perfect little spot ! Son had the pancakes and I opted for the Welsh Rarebit - out of this world. Quaint little venue - family friendly and hosts like wise.

Had to rearrange our holiday from September to a week in November, staying at Clogwyn Bach. Read the reviews, read the recommendations in the accommodation and were in a fevered state of lip smacking anticipation. THEN, we were told it was closed with the owners...

Having gone up and down Snowdon this is just the place you want to visit. Comfortable, friendly, welcoming and serving the most delicious food. I had the Bara Brith which was really tasty. Others of the party had the pancakes or Welsh cakes and were...

Came here after a cold and wet few hours up and down Snowdon. Really nice place with a local feel. Options for Vegans. Great cakes, pancakes and nice teas. Big portions. Will definitely visit next time. Friendly and great service too, what more could you...

We stopped at the tea room on recommendation of Beddgelert Bikes. This was the mid-point of our bike ride through this amazing part of Snowdonia and we were all ready for a stop. The tea room is very snug and cosy with plenty to look...

The tea room is also an inn. The tea room was not actually open to non-guests but the owners let us in for breakfast anyway which was nice. We really enjoyed the coffee and Danish pancakes. I would recommend it!

This place is slightly eccentric, it is at the bottom of one of the paths up Snowdon but it's specialities are Dutch! Run by nice people and serves good food!

We came here for breakfast, which set us up for a whole day of walking. Really friendly owners, lovely home cooked food prepared in the kitchen next door. We bought some shortbread biscuits to take with us, which were equally lovely. Unfortunately didn't have room for pancakes which looked amazing. They also do packed lunches, which again we didn't try, but saw other people's and they looked really good. Wish we'd had time to come here more!

We were driving past and found this lovely little spot. Quircky decor and great great food! You must try one of their Dutch pancakes!

Our stay was absolutely lovely. Emma and Menno were so welcoming and gave us great suggestions for walks and hikes. All our breakfasts were delicious, especially the Dutch Pancake. We had packed lunches everyday with sandwiches and all sorts of treats. Our room was very comfortable, and large, with TV and WiFi. A great place to start our vacation.

Acaba de terminar dos días caminando con mis dos hijas (6 y 9) y pasado este té en forma de coche. Aparecimos y a pesar del hecho de que eran un poco más tarde en el día, los propietarios fueron muy acogedores. Eran amables y el servicio era rápido y la comida increíble. Pedimos la limonada casera y los panqueques holandeses (habiendo leído aquí lo bonito que estaban) - La mejor decisión jamás! Pequeños estaban felices, como era yo no puedo recomendar este té lo suficiente (el precio también es genial!).

The full English is excellent in the past we have had the apple pie and custard very nice. The pack lunches they provide for £5.00 take away the need to take any food with you for you adventure up Snowdon. Recommend the Tuna Mayo Sandwiches.

Verukkelijke pannenkoek, yoghurt met zelfgemaakte muesli, honing en rozijnen, the full English breakfast en meer.

It feels like being abroad due to the decor. Very Dutch. Owned by a Dutchman and his British wife. Excellent speculaas cake!!!

Popped in after coming down from Snowdon via the Rhyd Ddu path after seeing a sign telling us it was just 5 mins walk away. Nice selection of teas, homemade soup and an a4 side of different pancakes. We didn't have a full lunch so...

Only popped in on the way back from Snowdon for a takeaway cuppa. Food smelled delicious and it looked very cosy. Friendly staff. Must go back

Mi esposa ha sugerido que el apple y bacon holandés pancake era una de las mejores cosas que había comido. El resto no estaba mal!

We stayed here once when it was quite new and it was lovely with Menno's dutch pancakes for breakfast. Tea and coffee was brilliant yesterday. Amazing apple pie and caramel slice, plus all the cakes everyone else in there had looked totally yummy too. Emma & Menno lovely as remembered. Great way to finish a trip up Snowdon. Also, everything very reasonably priced, especially when you consider the quality.

Excellent food and drinks. Friendly staff. 10/10. Great for tea after climbing Snowdonia or a packed lunch to take with you.

Having just descended Snowden via Rhydd Ddu path this is a very welcome stop to refuel. Lovely coffee, homemade soup and a sandwich and for the 17 year old sweet tooth son Dutch pancake with apple and chocolate sauce. Great service very welcoming and good value.

I topped for lunch today & I will go back. The omelette was wonderful & the Dutch Pancake was divine.The service was very quick & friendly.I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We have been here a few times now as stayed in the village. Highly recommend it. The tea-cakes are gorgeous with unlimited butter. Lovely owners too who are very helpful. If you're passing I would advise you to pop in-you won't regret it.

Really lovely home cooked food with friendly service and plenty of choice for vegetarians. Also very reasonably priced compared to other places we visited. We were staying in a cottage in the village and the tea room opened early for us to have breakfast on our last day. The home baked Bara brith is delicious

Called in for a late lunch after a cold walk. A real fire and warm welcome greeted us. The tea room has a good choice of food, the tea is excellent and plentiful and there are interesting cakes on offer. Try the breakfast baguette if your hungry.

This place is popular with walkers and cyclists. Great selection of savory and sweet stuff to keep you going. The soup was carrot and ginger with lovely bread on the day I visited. Decent sized teapots too. Highly recommended

Called into this tea room on way home from visiting nearby caravan site all feeling peckish. Food was excellent,Welsh cream tea was amazing as was the soup and sandwiches , ample servings. All served with a smile in pleasant surroundings.My 6 year old grandson loved his ice cream which is always a good way to end the dayStaying in the area next summer and will be sure to make many return visits

Ty Mawr was the mid point of our 12 mile bike ride, and it was absolutely perfect. The chili and he soup was wonderful and tYou must save room for desert.

Excellent small coffee shop, ideal for after a walk up Snowdon. Had fantastic huge pancake, scones, tea and coffee. Can't fault it. Great prices too!

Went in after a walk for ice cream and noticed the intriguing mix of Dutch and Welsh specialties on the menu boards. We were staying in a cottage in the village, so as the weather through the week deteriorated, we made several more visits to this cosy, quaint and welcoming little tea room. The Dutch apple pie and Speculaas were delicious, as was the other specialty of the chef - Dutch pancakes. We enjoyed a full breakfast there the day of our departure and even bought a home made Bara Brith loaf to bring back to England. Definitely worth a visit if you pass this way.

After our camping Calor gas container had run out of gas, a few in our group were eager to find a spot to have a quick coffee before we enjoyed our day out in the area. How lucky were we when we stumbled across this fantastic little tearoom not far from the base of one of the trails up Mount Snowden. Quietly unassuming, the exterior is quaint and attractive, with the interior full of interesting collectables from all over the world. But best of all was the wonderful food and drink which we thoroughly enjoyed. The coffee was of a very high standard and the carrot cake especially was a treat. Also, they sell stamps and post cards which was fantastic because we couldn't find another shop in the area selling stamps (there is a postbox opposite as well if you need it). We also noted that for a very reasonable £4.50 they will put together a packed lunch for anyone making the trip up the mountain. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

We stayed across the road from this gem. The tea room has about 5 tables and I can see myself sitting there all day during winter.My dad wanted cake at 17:00 and so we went across. The tea room had a great selection of teas and the fresh cake was great. I should have tried one of the Welsh cakes, but I can't pass on a Victoria sponge cake so I had that in stead, which was great. The chocolate cake got my dad's seal of approval. He said it was quite moist.They have Dutch pancakes as well, which was interesting.

A lovely warm, heart, friendly place. We were so glad we stopped in. Absolutely delicious fresh cakes - a huge variety of them, all tasty & all very reasonably priced.My son rated the hot chocolate as "one of the best ever"And one has to love the welsh-Dutch crossover: how many places serves welsh cakes & proffitejes (yummy Dutch pancakes).

We passed this café on our walk up to Mynydd Mawr, it looked so appealing from the outside that we made a mental note to call in on our return, which we did several hours later.It's run by a charming couple and as the sun was shining we elected to sit on the bench outside whilst we were served delicious lemon drizzle cake and scrumptious apple pie and cream with our coffees, the front wall conveniently used as our table!We had a look inside later, it was all beautifully laid out and cosy and the menu looked fabulous.

So welcoming and lovingly furnished. The food is really nice, home cooking. On our walks in the area we always plan to stop there for lunch or tea. DON'T miss it!

Intending to walk the Nantlle Ridge we only got as far as Y Garn, beaten by the mist. Dis-heartened, we descended with our tails between our legs and piled into Ty Mawr for some 'tea and cake'. What a wonderful place it was: warm, snug even, friendly and lots of wonderful fare on offer. I plumped for a cheese scone and a cafetiere of strong coffee in the end, and spent most of the half an hour relaxing in there scanning the menu and blackboards for what I'd have next time...

We were camping for a weekend nearby with a 10 & 3 years old in tow now any of you that have done that will know the nightmare of breakfast time !!! We stumbled across this place and bingo our problems were sorted in fact it was so good it was the choice of the little ones to return the next day.... In my mind that says it all

During a walking weekend in beddgelert we stopped off for some lunch in this little tea shop we just had sandwiches and a slice of bara brith with a hot drink bit I wish I had had more room for more the pancakes looked delicious

Came upon this little gem by chance. Initially just going to stop for a coffee & Danish but tempted by the description of the full English Breakfast. Not disappointed - everything obviously cooked fresh and superb quality. Good value for money. Owner had a nice chat with us and helped us by mentioning that there was a triathlon taking place in the area so to be careful on the roads.

The place has a nice atmosphere and a friendly couple running it.The Dutch coffee was good.I ordered the ‘Uitmijter’ , a Dutch speciality consisting of bread, ham, cheese and topped with fried eggs. The place had such a nice atmosphere my mind conjured up something really tasty like an English toasted sandwich or French croque monsieur, but with the eggs, even better.It turned out to be cold bread, topped with a thin slice of cheap ham, a slice of industrial cheese and fried egg with the yolk barely heated through. The whole thing was cold apart from the whites of the egg. I can’t understand why this wasn’t made with toasted bread, toasted cheese and a nicer cooked egg where the yolk had been splashed with hot oil. I did eat it, with difficulty. Maybe in Holland it would be considered a reasonable dish. My companions’ food was better and they said they enjoyed it.

Good food and a warm welcome. Hidden away but we'll worth a visit. And good value. Don't be followed by the size. It's a gem among the mountains

Always so helpful, charming and brilliant for walking Snowden. We have always been thrilled with the care, the accommodation and food. Will be sure to stay on our next visit to North Wales.
