Lovely cup of tea. Wish we’d found this cafe earlier as much better than anywhere in Bala town. Clean, lakeside location with plenty of seating. Will return for food as looked good.

Stopped for brunch. Lovely views of Lake Bala. Good to have a kids play area to help keep our toddler occupied before our food arrived. Service was a bit on the slow side though, and there's only the one toilet.

Was recommended this place by my Brother in Law and it didn’t disappoint. Had the vegetarian breakfast and the addition of a Veggie burger was unusual but really nice. The place is dog friendly and was full of locals and you get to eat with a view of Bala Lake. A great find.

Friendly enough staff Service was prompt but the breakfast was a disappointing mix of microwaved sausage , limp bacon ,tinned mushrooms , a fried egg that had barely seen the frying pan but the beans and toast were OK and the wife said the cup of tea was nice as was my latte but overall for £20+ it wasn't good

Food is really good above average priced and nice views. Service is a bit slow just staff stood around Not bad though for a brief stop (if you can contend with the cyclists who I think some believe it’s the Tour de France)

Great place to visit, very dog friendly cheap fresh food and great location but the lake. Plenty of treats for the dogs to.

Picked this cafe on our way to Benar Beach, thinking we'd use the toilets & buy some sandwiches to take away. Once I was in there, the cafe staff were so friendly and saw my husband was outside with our dog, they told me they could come in, as it's a dog friendly cafe. We then decided to order and eat in. Food was nice, but the best thing was the service & friendliness. If you are travelling with your dog, I would recommend stopping here.

A very enjoyable full breakfast, but a little on the expensive side for a café. The staff were very friendly and obliging and the café is situated in a great spot on the shores of the lovely Llyn Tegid on the outskirts of the friendly town of Bala. Definitely well worth a visit.

Stopped for lunch had sandwiches and bowl of chips it was so filling and very nice. The staff nice and chatty only thing it was a little expensive

I traveled up there with my family for a birthday trip, in late November. Now I’ll admit from the outside it didn’t look like much HOWEVER it is one of the nice restaurants I have been to in a long time. The food was amazing, there was 5 of us and you could see the food being prep and cook from wherever you sat. So my family love to surprise/ embarrass me. So without my knowledge when they called to book it they ask if the could make a birthday cake for me, the didn’t give much directions except I really like Percy pig (a sweet). After we had the really amazing food. They brought out this cake, that they had made. The cake was perfect. The team that are there are amazing and seem like nothing is to big. Colin the chef that was there in the evening is amazing.

Great cafe/Bistro hidden gem by lakeside. Food is high standard . Was looking for lunch on Sunday and found this lovely place . Turns out it has a professional chef, Sunday roast was really good .

What an amazing meal! the steak was gorgeous the mushrooms exquisite and the vine tomatoes so tasty... absolutely loved it! I can't wait to try their Christmas menu... we had a sneak preview and I suggest you book early because it's going to be very busy!!!

Stopped off on the way home from a 2.5 hour drive holidaying over the august bank holiday. Looked lovely outside right on the lake. Me an my partner decided to grab our food in take out boxes and sit in the car facing the lake. We ordered a ham and cheese toasties, 1 chips and 2 coffees and came up for £20. Thought it was a little pricey for what we got. Service was nice, girls were friendly however we wasn’t offered any addiction spoons, sugar for our coffees, no sauces with our chips no napkins. We had to ask on several occasions for simple things that should of been offered. Our food wasn’t even warm, the chips however were hot and the nicest part. But the cheese and ham toastie was awful! The cheese wasn’t melted it was a slice of cheap ham, a pile of grated(not melted) red leicester cheese in between 2 cold slices of cold, sightly toasted bread. Wasn’t nice at all. If we were sitting in the restaurant and hadn’t of taken our food to go we would have taken it back and complained. It’s very rare I would complain to a small family business however for its location sat right on the lake I expected the food to be much better quality than it was, and for the price £20 for basically a sandwhich and coffee is appalling. I’ve had better canteen food. Honestly wouldn’t go back again. Maybe for a coffee, but wouldn’t recommend food.

Having done a quick online review of the various eateries in Bala prior to a weekend trip Kayaking was managing my expectation for and evening dinner accordingly - then some friend said they had booked a table at Woody’s and I am very pleased to say the food exceeded all expectations and and the waiting staff were friendly too. I would be very pleased to go back.

We visited for coffee and cake here, and enjoyed sitting outside on a picnic table close to the lake. Our food and drink was lovely quality. It’s very busy here, so you have to queue for some time to get served but it is worth it. We followed our visit with a walk by the lake, which made it a great day out overall.
