A seasonal cafe that is within the walled of Caernarfon Castle. Quaint and has retained many features. Traditional good food - from light bites - cooked breakfast and snacks. Great coffee. Family owned and run for over 50 years. Looking forward to returning at Easter.

Good food and great service. Lovely young waitress who went above and beyond. Small seating area available outside if weather is kind. Inside is traditional with China teacups/plates etc. Would visit again.

Cute, small cafe away from the somewhat crowded castle square. Staff is very friendly. Dogs allowed outside. Food was really good as well!

Our second visit as our 13 year old remembered how nice his sausage sandwich and hot chocolate was the first time around. They do perfect Welsh Rarebit as well.
