Reviews of Caban Cafe

Beautiful location and a great stopping point while visiting the lake. The cafe is clearly popular with locals and visitors, and there is sometimes a wait to be seated for lunch, but it's worth it! The tea and coffee is delicious, as to be expected from a place with a large variety of locally roasted coffee beans for sale. Their lunch menu is simple, based on daily specials, which allows them to be fresh and focus on the quality. Portions are generous, especially with the cakes! They don't serve breakfast/lunch every day, so make sure to check ahead if you want to be sure. Overall, this was the best cafe we visited during our trip to North Wales!

What an amazing place. Thanks to our friend who discovered this place while staying at ours. It's spacious and the vibe is relaxing. The staff were all very friendly. The food was wow - I did not expect that it was really tasty. I had the slow cooked lamb with salad. The flavour was excellent and the lamb was tender. I really liked the three salad sides and it just felt very healthy. My partner had the aubergine vegetarian dish. The healthy yet tasty food very much reminded me of the vegetarian restaurant in Machynellth called Ty Medi, but the service at Caffi Caban is way better. The staff were very friendly. There were also many cake 🍰 to choose from. I had a peach and polenta cake. It was ok but luckily not too sweet. Partner had a latte and said it was good. I'm so glad that we came here. We'll definitely come here again!

This was a stunning atmospheric place with the best coffee I've tasted in Wales, great food and terrific service. When you arrive it doesn't look like much from the car park, but don't be deceived, once you walk down and circle round through the alleyway you pop out into a gorgeous cozy cafe with warm furnishings and a huge expanse of glass giving a view directly into a little woodland with mountains in the distance beyond. If you fancy al-fresco then dine outside in one of the wooden huts surrounded by bird life within the woodland. We found this place almost by accident but it was simply magic.

Perfect! The view from outside is incredible and the food was amazing. We turned up 20 minutes before they closed and they still helped us despite how late we were and it was so good immediately returned the day afterwards! Only thing that wasn't 5 stars was the chocolate cake as thought it was quite plain but the food and other cakes we had and even the tea were all gorgeous! Great experience!

What a nice little cafe. We stopped here because it was raining outside. We found a table near the windows with a view over a bird feeder which was amazing to observe the birds. The cakes were delicious too and they have many choices. I had the polenta peach cake and my husband the early grey cake. The staff was efficient and lovely too.

For me I liked the place so much. It's peaceful and beautiful. You can either have a cup of coffee or a meal. Unfortunately there menu now is reduced according to the pandemic but what I think they could do more than what they have specially for the breakfast, they have just 2 choices bacon, pork or hach brown and tomato. The dinner menu change every day but it tastes delicious at least what did we eaten 😋. What I would like to suggest is down among the woods you could do a tiny play area for kids so families could come and enjoy a meal all together. On the day we've been Unfortunately some of the staff were a bit unfriendly with all visitors when we were there maybe they were tired or has awakened on the wrong side. The GPS wasn't 100 % accurate as it was saying your destination on the left which was a house and no where to park there so be careful it's a bit on the right down and there's a parking area. Overall I would recommend it and I'll go there again
