Y Crochan Cafe in Gwynedd - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped off for a cuppa, hoping to see some aircraft coming down low level through the Mach Loop. Had without a doubt the best scone ever, wish I'd bought some to take home. Husband had a teacake and it was the size of a frisbee. Had a wonder round the area, there a few little shops and play area. Worth taking the break

This cafe had the best vegan range of food I could find on my trips around this area. The food was really tasty - I was served vegan whipped cream with my vegan brownie which was a marvellous surprise! The cafe is clean and comfortable and so close to the many attractions nearby. The Deli is also brilliant and the lady working there was very kind and helpful. A must stop if you are in the area!

Stopped here for a refreshment break. Decent coffee and snacks. [Jet fighter noise overhead in 'The Mach Loop'.] Presentable toilets located separately outside the cafe.

A friend of mine came to stay last weekend and bought me some Flapjack from one of your deli's. She had been working in Lampeter. I started to eat one of the pieces and felt a different texture in my mouth. I spat it out and discovered some soggy paper. She bought me two packs . I am now reluctant to eat the flapjacks even though they are very tasty.

Durch Zufall sind wir im "The Corris Café" gelandet und waren richtig begeistert! Super leckerer Kaffee, traumhafte Scones und Muffins und sehr gute Musik 😊!

Came for a spot of lunch. As it was close to the Mach loop really nice food would highly recommend this place for scran

interesting menu, very Welsh! Built around local ingredients and suppliers. The Heartease range of cold drinks was excellent and tasted like home made. The ginger beer and lemonade were lovely and sharp, whereas the elderflower is so smooth. Friendly service, both in the restaurant and more so in the deli. Lots of good advice on what to try.

Well. I am literally still sat in here and I really felt the urge to review. That was hands down, one of the most lovely welsh raebits that I have ever had. The menu is full of veggie options and more than I expected of vegan goodies as well. If my lunch was anything to go by, this place is delicious!

We went to the cafe on Tuesday 1st Nov for lunch. Unfortunately my granddaughter fainted. The staff and fellow customers were amazing. The staff assisted us and administered first aid. The provide us with everything to aid her recovery and to make our journey home comfortable. The packed up the lunch we had ordered and we took it home with us. Thank you to you all Also the food was very good even when cold. We will return you tea towel next time we come Thank you to the GP and other lady who helped my granddaughter. She has made a full recovery we think she had a bug. Not Covid she tested negative xx

Lovely Cafe, nice quality coffe , nice tasty cakes, food nicely presented, fresh and tastly, spotlesly clean cafe, nice outside seating for visitors with dogs, with an undercover area for those rainy days.

We visited Corris on a rainy day and had three dogs with us. The outdoor area here was perfect - we could sit under cover while we drank excellent tea and ate generous portions of really good food. The home-made sausage casserole was superb! Enough meat, soft veg, properly seasoned. Came with a huge hunk of fresh bread that was the perfect complement. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, a very good experience. Thanks!

Lovely coffee, delicious cakes however the decaf tea was awful, very weak even when left for ages. The meals looked lovely but we didn't have any.

stopped for a drink on arrival to the craft centre and had a lovely hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream and marsh mallows.then after we had been in the caves stopped for luch and had some lovely fresh sandwiches(there was a great selection of food on the menu).will stop here again just for the cafe when heading passed.

Fabulous food (homemade), tasty and reasonably priced... nothing is too much for the staff... Even if you dont visit the attractions, the cafe and icecream bar is worth a visit.

Corris cafe is part of Corris Craft centre where the main attraction is probably King Arthurs Labyrinth Within the foothills of Snowdonia if you have ventured this far as a bit of a captive audience I was expecting the prices to match. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to find a very reasonably priced menu. The sausage baps we ordered were tasty and inexpensive and other choices looked decent too

As someone else has written, I didn't enter with high hopes for a cafe at a tourist attraction but Corris Cafe overcame our caution. We had good coffee, great snacks for the children and all ate well for lunch. The staff were kind and friendly. If we are ever back at Corris Craft Centre or that area, we would plan to eat at this cafe if we were wanting to eat lunch out.

It's always with some trepidation that you enter a cafe at an attraction as often the food is disappointing but not here. Two of us had excellent hot dogs and one a burger for lunch and we even ventured back later in the day for drinks and cake and I have to say the giant slab of flapjack (which was definitely enough to feed 2 people) was very gooey and sweet and delicious. Worth a visit for a certain if you are heading to King Arthurs Labyrinth or the craft shops.

Friendly and welcoming cafe with a tasty menu, with lots of local ingredients. I had a Dyfi Dog ( a delicious hot dog) served with salad and crisps, I could also have had chips. The homemade sandwiches were also delicious. Lots to choose from to satisfy all the family. Delicious cakes and great barista coffee too.

A good place to stop and have a wander around the craft centre, taste the gin and just send an hour or so, good cafe and toilets and free parking.

The.food.was.incredible.As it was a cafeteria style set up I didn't have super high expectations due to past experience but I should have been 100% less doubtful. I had a scone, my brother and dad had a burger (which was his favourite of the holiday...and we...

Stopping off at the craft center at Corris, nice if expensive drinks at the cafe, watching the kids play outside. Friendly Welsh service. All clean & tidy.

The cafe is at Corris craft centre and can be combined with a visit to the crafts workshops or a local walk (there are some lovely strolls along the river nearby). They make a real effort to serve local dishes and use local products. The...

I am reluctant to post this review as this is usually one of our regular "go to" cafes and this may be a one off. OK, I think it's the first we have visited since Covid kicked in so that may be partly responsible. The...

Lovely lunch at Y Crochan. We visited during May when restrictions were tighter and a more limited menu. Always get a warm welcome and good service. We've only ever had the sandwiches before (which are delish). This time we tried the burgers. Really yummy. The...

Visited Corris craft centre and after walking around the various craft units decided to have some lunch. The burgers where delicious and served by friendly welcoming staff. A big thumbs up ftom us.

As much as I love and enjoy giving excellent reviews, it's important and fair that an assessment is based on actual experience. On the day, my experience was an average one, but it hasn't put me off returning in the future. The selection of sandwiches...

The cafe has a one way system in place and is serving a limited selection of drinks and food. We had the bacon sandwich with a coffee and really enjoyed the sandwich. Everything is served in disposable wrapping.

Visiting Corris, nipped into the Y Crochan Cafe for lunch. Excellent hot chocolate and lunch made using local Welsh produce, served by well trained friendly waitresses. Only downsides were slightly slow service and the toilets are in a seperate building - but the food was...

We were in the craft centre complex so decided to pop in for tea and Welsh rare bit. Can't fault it! Food and service was great! Pot of tea for 3 was endless, big pot we probably got 5 cups from and they gave us...

Popped in for lunch, we come here in the winter when it’s empty. Today is bank holiday week and it’s busy, but the food is still very nice, the staff efficient and friendly. Prices not too bad either. Lovely little gem, in the Corris Craft...

Great food, easy ordering, nice menu and plenty of clean and tidy tables and seating. Had a lovely bacon bap and everyone else liked their food. Would return and recommended.

Had lunch here and was really lovely and great value! Even though cafe was busy, it was easy to get a table and service was very fast and friendly!

Lovely lottle cafe with lovely food. The soup was gorgeous. The Corris Craft centre was a lovely place to visit.

The café is probably the heart of the craft centre - its light and airy with bright red and green tablecloths which certainly add a splash of colour. Quite an extensive menu with a Welsh flavour and lots of nice cakes on the counter to choose from - the Eccles cakes were particularly large and moreish. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Order food and drinks at the counter. It generally closes at 1700 hours.

Great service from friendly staff and good quality food that won't cost the earth. Their speciality Welsh rarebits are only one slice which probably won't fill up those with a hearty appetite, but they are extremely tasty. We often pop in for lunch when passing.

We visited here on the off chance as it is mid November. The cafe was open for a nice coffee as well as the Dyfi Distillery for some gin!

We called here for an unplanned lunch. We ate simply, soup and a lamb cawl, and the price was very reasonable. The food was good quality, certainly better than would have been suggested by the price.

Great little cafe. Clean. Friendly helpful staff. We had the all day breakfast which hubby throughly enjoyed, I had the jacket potato with cheese and a great piece of chocolate fudge cake which completely defeated me. Daughter of 9 was catered for well will a lovely little mini mouseshaped pizza also a great chocolate brownie

Big space inside to sit but we were lucky to sit outside where there are also some places. Nice spot close to the road but sight covered by plants. When you order something that needs preparing, staff will bring it to your table when ready.

Food was good. Simple but it hit the spot. Good place for a quick bite if flagging. Staff were friendly. Afterwards go through to the shop selling foods/drinks etc made in Wales. Many of them delicious and I am gradually trying them all!!

Had a hot chocolate here after our boat trip. Average quality. Tables not cleared and the floor was slippery as it was wet outside.

This is a popular cafe and whilst it took a while to get through the queue, we were pleased with the food and the cost was not too bad. £20 to feed a family of four.

Cream tea and Welsh rarebit good, but as everything is on the menu as home cooked we were happy to give in to the kids request for mini pizzas. However, it was so bad the kids refused eat it. Shaped as Mickey Mouse, they were the kind you buy as basic frozen pizza as 5 for a £1. I tried it, it tasty as mostly bread with ketchup. I'm happy to judge a restaurant on its kids menu, as it is a good way of assessing attention to detail and how much they care about food and service. Charging almost £3 each for what they served is quite frankly a scam. We gave them back, informed the staff they were awful, and got a refund without question. Please replace this menu item, and don't defraud your smallest customers! Hiding high margins in the menu where complaining is unlikely is a bit underhanded, no?

Good selection of snacks and the portions are generous. The salad is fresh and all in all although a tad overpriced , a good cafe. Staff are pleasant and serve with a smile.

Nice and clean and a good choice of food. hot or cold .Very tasty , and pleasent staff. Eat in or outside

This Cafe is about 6 miles away from Machynlleth. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Hubby and I decided we needed a break from the busy A487 so we turned into the Craft Centre complex. It was free and easy parking. We went to the cafe counter and asked for a Welsh-cake and a large pot of tea for 2 (with extra pot of hot water). The bill came to a total of £3.10 which Hubby was able to pay by card (contactless).

We love to visit Corris Craft Centre, all the various craft units give a very interesting visit.

Quick stop for a refreshment break and a stretch of the legs. Plenty of cakes to choose from and a decent cuppa. Meals on the other tables looked good

Great selection of places to buy things made on the premises, even a Gin distillery. The cafe is very reasonably prices, very clean & good staff

I met with Natalia, a Spanish employee, who not only speaks Spanish but English and Welsh. The cafe is always clean, they encourage local speakers and musicians, community groups and are exceptionally kind and friendly. I look forward to my next visit.

A lovely welcoming cafe with a good choice of food. I had Welsh Rarebit with crispy bacon. They had a variety of toppings. Bacon butties,cakes etc etc. Just great staff and top quality locally sourced food. Wheelchair accessible.

We were going to king Arthur's labyrinth and had time before our booked slot so decided to have an early lunch.

Comida típica de café no destaca especialmente y es un poco caro para lo que te dan, pero se llena un agujero. Muchos asientos dentro y fuera.

Clean, takes a wee bit of time when busy as breakfast is cooked to order but worth the wait fresh local produce used the wait was worth it ....Service does feel slow, but the result was worth the wait not a fast food café ....

Friendly staff, prompt service within a clean environment. Lamb cawl was very tasty, and tea strong. Thank you.

Los niños estaban heladas y pizzas mini los que utilizamos para llegar en el 1980.

I liked the friendly staff and efficient service in addition to the bright atmosphere and good selection, the cakes looked delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food except me (burger and cheese on toast). I had a bacon bap and thought that the roll was dry and of a poor quality and that the bacon could have been cooked more, I was disappointed. The hot chocolate was excellent, though. Fair prices but needs a loyalty scheme. Difference between kids and adults portions huge despite a small cost difference. I didn't think the cheese on toast looked particularly appetising. I would return, but wouldn't have the bacon bap again.

Este café está situado en el centro de artesanía y Corris es un espacio luminoso y ventilado, con manteles y sillas de colores vimos y ventanas de madera clara.

We had visited the Corris mine and needed something to keep us going . Very friendly service and tasty food

Fuimos para el desayuno después de visitar King Arthurs Labryinth. El personal es muy amable y muy precios razonables, especialmente para una atracción turística.

I've always enjoyed having a light snack there and to meet friends. The manager is tri-lingual and Welsh can be spoken. The Craft shops in the complex make it an exceptional place to visit

Lovely place and even more lovely food ! Popped in after visiting Taran Eco Designs. I had a lovely tradional Welsh rarebit......yummy !!

Es un acogedor centro de visitantes con una cafetería muy acogedora. El personal aquí estaban más que dispuestos a ayudar, ya sea con necesidades dietéticas especiales de compañeros de viaje o dejarnos cobrar a nuestros teléfonos después de cuatro días de camping!

Had a lovely lunch, full English breakfast, cheese on toast, Welsh rarebit with egg. Then victoria sponge all round and Clipper tea, very tasty.

A variety of small shops catering for all ages, the onsite cafe was very clean but not very big, although it was raining so there was noone in the outside eating area

Una joya de una cafetería. A pesar de que es parte del centro de artesanías y otras atracciones produjo un gran aluvión de este café tiene una fantástica relación calidad-precio, con una buena selección de comida caliente y fría y una gran selección de bebidas. La comida está bien preparada y bien presentada y todo servido con una sonrisa.

Fantastic and helpful staff. A quid for a cuppa, a happy man! So helpful with the menu, as my wife is Gluten free, we asked about the Lamb Cawl (Welsh Lamb Stew) the dish was described and they checked with the kitchen and all was good. When it arrived it was even better my wife loved it. I had Welsh Rarebit, gorgeous. My daughter had a burger which had loads of salad and a pot of cheese, again delicious. Thank you for a great Lunch.

On the way further north we dropped in to Corris where we have visited the centre many times, but never eaten there. We were on a "comfort stop" but decided to have a light lunch. There was a good choice of meals, drinks and so on. The staff were very pleasant and helpful- they had what we wanted including decaffinated coffee, so we were well pleased.The building itself is nothing to write home about, but it is tidy- however don't expect high cuisine. What they have is good and well prepared- but quite average.It can get very busy at times - that is why we have tended not to eat there before. They do have inside and outside tables and ordered meals are taken outside. Wothwhile stopping if you need a break.

It is a cafe at the Corris Craft Center. They serve snacks and drinks. It has open and closed space which you can select according to the weather conditions. The expectation shall not be too big on the taste and choice.
