Caffi Gwynant - Gwynedd

We’ve been coming here for maybe 20 years because it’s at the start (or end depending on which way you’re heading) of the Snowdon Watkin path. Which in my opinion is the best route in terms of scenery. The first time we came here a long time ago when veganism wasn’t as big a deal, the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They made my partner a lovely hummus and onion sandwich with crisps on the side even though it wasn’t on the menu. From that time onwards, the food has just been getting better and better. Today (17.09.23) we shared an amazing cheese toasty with tasty French onion soup on the side. I also ordered a spring onion roll with salad and coleslaw. Both meals were of a standard that you would struggle to find anywhere in the area. I’m certain you won’t find any cafe, pub or restaurant in the nearby Beddgelert that can compete as I’ve already walked, cycled and driven through there numerous times this year and found nothing worth writing about. Keep it up!

Have been here a few times usually just for a slice of cake and hot drink after a walk. Lovely little place, but can get busy. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. Some tasty vegan options. I love the carrot cake and burrito bowl. They also do a decent breakfast.

Had a really good vegan burrito bowl, there were a few other vegan options on the menu as well, it was a cute place in an old Chapel. Only major problem was that the parking which people also use for snowdon is almost always incredibly full, especially in summer. Pre booking advised during holidays.

There’s only a couple of vegan options, but tried both they were incredible! Also had vegan soup of the day, and a couple of cakes ice creams available.

We had a burrito bowl, a katsu tofu burger and chips and beans on toast for the little one (I think that was the extent of the vegan options). It was all delicious. And then we sampled the carrot cake and banana bread, both yum and I am told the cakes are baked by a vegan too so extra reassuring! The waiter who served us was really helpful in pointing out what was vegan on the menu (as it wasn't marked) and also told us about a vegan place in Bangor so knew his stuff. Lovely atmosphere in an old church and great location for walks up Snowdon, etc. Updated from previous review on 2022-03-22
