Y Gegin Fawr - Gwynedd

Sit inside or out, dog friendly, the menu has something to suit most people’s requirements at a reasonable cost. The service and quality of food is quite good. Recommended.

Just being in this little old cafe is an experience, it radiates history in every stone. Cheerful friendly service and a good selection of food and drink. It is a joy to sit outside and watch the world go by.

We called in after a breezy walk on the beach, the place was sheltered from the wind and we were all looking forward to a coffee and cake. We ordered 2 Americano’s and a traybake brownie. The coffees arrived and straight away I thought they looked weak, they looked more like tea than coffee. Added a splash of milk and they were so pale. Tasted it and it didn’t even taste of coffee, like a pale brown tasteless liquid!! Then the tray bake for some reason (without asking) was heated up in the microwave, so ended up a bit soggy! Who does this?? Overall it was really disappointing, I didn’t drink my coffee and left most of the brownie. We went and got a coffee elsewhere on the way back. Such a shame as it’s a lovely location. I don’t know whether it’s lack of training or trying to cost cut, but whoever makes the coffee needs to sort it out.

Popped in this morning with my friend who came to visit me in Pwllheli and wanted to show her beautiful Wales so we came down to Aberdaron which was super sunny but blowing a gail!! The location of this cafe meant we were in the sheltered sun trap so had a lovely bask in the sun with our breakfast baps and cappuccinos! My only suggestion would be to have some gluten free bread in the freezer and maybe some dairy free milk but I do understand being in such a remote location there may not be a massive call for it.... Service was prompt and friendly, I will defo be back :

My partner and I visited Aberdarron and favoured a coffee after looking around the small village. We went into Y Gign Fawr and ordered a Mocha and an Americano. I wouldn 't say I 'm a coffianado but I love the aroma and deep taste of coffee. My coffee looked like tea and didn 't smell of anything. I could not smell a bean of coffee. I took a sip and I could not taste any coffee. It was literally hot tasteless liquid. I called the waitress over and informed her I didn 't liked my drink and wanted a refund. So she took my drink away and 'the manager ' who served me came over with the £2.50 I paid, put it on the table and she said I was the only person who had ever complained about their locally roasted coffee and stormed off. The customer service was appalling on top of the worst coffee I 'd ever been served. If that is how 'the manager ' behaves, when a customer complaints, she obviously needs training. I should add that my partner 's Mocha was not a Mocha. It was a hot powdery very sweet chocolate drink. Again, not a hint of coffee could we taste. My partner could not drink her 'Mocha ' and so we both left in disgust. I could not possibly recommend this place run by amateurs.
