We knew we had to sit outside with having a dog, it was quite cold but we were provided with thick blankets and a comfy sofa, we had the best view ever. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, making us feel very welcome. Thank you girls. And that is before I mention the best coffee I’ve had in Wales in this holiday.

I ate here twice on my stay in the apartments above. The food was amazing! The small breakfast was beautifully cooked. My husband had the veggie sausages which were so so good. We also had a rarebit and a soup to share, and it was delicious! The servers were so helpful and the coffee was amazing.

Really enjoyed this. There's a number of pretentious places in Harlech and this isn't one of them. It could be, especially with the location right next to the castle and the amazing views over the estuaries. I had the rarebit, my wife had the broccoli and stilton soup. We had scones too as a treat. All delicious and fairly priced.

The Harlech castle cafe is located at visitor's centre just on the way out to the castle on the right hand side. It is great place for a quick bite with good selection of home made cakes, breakfast, lunch menus and veriery of hot and cold drinks. The food there is delicious, the views through the windows are beautiful and atmosphere so homely. The staff is very polite and friendly. Unfortunately no dogs allowed in the cafe, only on the terrace. Also, maximum 4 people per table. The place is very covid aware. Pay & display car park is just outside of the visitor centre for 30 spaces.

A fantastic cafe. Views amazing. Staff lovely. Cake and coffee the best I have tasted. You could tell they were home made. Will definitely return. We even bought some cake to take home too, it was that good.
