Stopped there today for a breakfast sandwich. Having a car park over the road made it easy to stop and collect my dinner. I ordered the bacon sausage and egg sandwiche for £3.50 which is a good price. I then found a beautiful layby overlooking the countryside and enjoyed by sandwich. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

Stopped here on the way to lake vrynwy, the cafe is small with few tables, yet I can say was an amazing little spot, the lady working was lovely and the food excellent (very cheap for the quality and taste that you get). Overall an extremely friendly and inviting atmosphere with delicious food....

Lovely full English breakfast with thick bacon. Only let down is the wafer thin toast. It would be a 5* with a thick cut slice Breakfast bap very filling.
