10. Caffi Gorphwysfa Cafe Pen-y-Pass
Reviewed By northwalesnaturist
Stopped here for some fuel while cycling but the establishment has amateurs as staff. When I asked the young lady what soup(s) they had she had to ask a young gentleman - who promptly replied âdimâ meaning no soups at all! for the avoidance of doubt I am a Welsh speaker and local. The fridge was pitifully supplied with some chocolate stuff and there was one ham sandwich and one ham & pickle sandwich. Good little library though - best thing I can say about the place - oh and the view is pretty good too
9. Rumdoodles
Reviewed By mr3bears
It's a hard place to describe, but in a good way. Like Morpheus explaining the Matrix to Neo, you can't be told what it it, you have to see it for yourself.I'm going to have to try to explain I guess, so a nutshell the word for here is cozy. I don't know many places that when you step through the door you get hit with the good energy this place has (and that's not getting into the caffeine yet). It's inviting, it's warm and feels like you're stepping from a gnarly wet and windy Welsh hillside into a bubble of comfort. I'm a big fan of fantasy reads like Lord of the Rings and to me it was like The Inn of the Last home at Solace minus the Spiced Potatoes (the coffee however more than makes up for this) As you're stood at the counter ordering, your eyes start to wander around and take in the details. Every time they do fall onto an object, it'll lead you onto something else new and quirky- the front of the bar is made of old skis and even the tips jar has a tale behind it. The funny thing though is that it doesn't feel odd, or forced. It all feels like it belongs together and the cafe/shop should always, and has always have been her as it is. Floor boards to ceiling, it draws you in and makes you feel at home, and comfortable.Then there are the services here. The Coffee is brewed to order each and every cup. The coffee ranges from 'madman, enough oomf to let you be able to count the leaves on the trees over on the far side of the lake' strength to a rich and flavourful easy to drink cappuccino which is all served at drinking temperature. You're not scalding yourself trying to shuffle it around your blistering tongue while attempting to swallow a mouthful or having to wait 10 minutes for it to cool. It's served hot and perfectly warms you back to feeling like a human again from whatever it is you escaped from outside. Oh, it's all served in vintage chinaware full of character, not faceless corporate mugs thick enough to stop a tank round. You don't do Dairy you say? Not a problem. Non daily whiteners/milk subs are on hand along with a section of cakes to make even a diabetic like me think 'maybe', along 11 different types of Tea to choose from if you're not into coffee. I did notice a selection of cold soft drinks as well but didn't try any this time. It's going to take me a good few visits to explore the options here. Alongside the coffee there are the Outdoorsy supplies. Rumdoodles carries premium, professional grade jackets to OS maps. Firesteels to bootsocks so soft they must feel like walking on clouds (Alpaca Wool!) Next to this we have headwear, Tshirts, dull trousers for interesting people, and quite literally the best section of Kites I've seen in North Wales. It's all (or at least what I looked at) eco friendly too, bamboo fibre reusable coffee cups, eco cotton Tshirts ect. We need more places like this in the world.Finally you've got the host. The crazy Kiwi dude who plays that coffee machine behind the counter like the Phantom of the Opera plays a pipe organ. Rich is an engaging and charismatic guy who can whip up a mean brew and deliver it with a funny tale or two (it's always worth ordering a second cup of coffee here). He's also a keen outdoors enthusiast with bags of experience, and sound advice on many subjects from backpacks to socks.I'm really glad to have found this place open, and it's a welcome change to the instant Nescafe you find offered in a lot of other local alternatives. It's a place where I'll bring my wife, bring my family, and bring my friends to soak up the atmosphere of the place along with the coffee and (sly) cake.87/10, would (and did) recommend to my mum.

Visited twice during our holiday in the area. It is a local pub and restaurantThe staff were very nice and friendly. The food is reasonably priced, plentiful and delicious. Had lamb shank (my favourite) which was delicious. Our second visit had a steak offer of a drink and 8oz sirloin for £13.50. It was beautifully cooked and another generous portion. Can't recommend it enough.

We stopped here for an evening meal. A great place to eat with a nice garden and views. A large restaurant with plenty on offer. Was not particularly busy when we dined around 7pm mid May. Staff were friendly and food was good, although I did find the portion size of the chilli con Carne a bit on the small size. My partner had one of the burgers and was fully satisfied.

Decided to have dinner here after our snowdon climb. Brilliant home made food, and so comforting after a long cold walk. Also serve proper Ale and a nice variety of Gin! Staff were very friendly, service was great! Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This place might be literally situated on a crease in the map but definitely worth hunting out for a hearty healthy veggie lunch. Chick pea coronation salad was delicious and the other two meals we ordered were great too. Coffee was also worth the trip alone. Very friendly place, dogs v welcome too

We had a really nice time here. The food was great and the prices were quite reasonable: £50 for a dinner for two without alcohol. We felt welcome by the team here who genuinely care about the quality of the service. I'll be very happy to return to the Peak next time I'm in Llanberis.

spot with delicious baked goods and coffee. Sandwiches were also good, though the green salad was quite disappointing. It appeared to be straight out of the cellophane bag without any quality control for wilted leaves etc. which rendered it mostly inedible.

We dined here with friends. The evening began with cocktails in the lounge whilst we perused the menu. Cocktails are priced under £10. Lots of local and national produce available. I opted for the Welsh gin and was not disappointed. We had a three course dinner, which included an amuse-bouche and sorbet course but coffee was extra. The Welsh lamb comes highly recommended and the desserts are delicious. Good wine list, with prices from £20 upwards. Staff very attentive throughout. The meal cost £300 for the four of us.
