Caffi Cwrt — Restaurant in Wales

Had a brilliant time here! A lovely quaint tea rooms. The lady that owns it came and spoke to us, she's so lovely. She's lived here most/all her life and the collection of curiosities inside proves this. From the keys with pride of place in the hallway to the jugs hanging above the fireplace and strategically from the low ceiling in the living room, this cottage has tales to tell. If you get to speak to Irene, she will impart some of them. We ordered homemade tomato and basil soup with rolls, tea, hot choc, tuna roll and bara brith. We were served relatively quickly considering how busy it was. Welsh Brew Tea was served in China tea cups and was a welcome refreshment. My son enjoyed his hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream piled high! The soup was delicious and flavoursome. This building is not purpose built, it used to be someone home, in the 1930's. If you are looking for tradition and for history, you've found it here. This Caffi Cwrt has an abundance of love, affection, tradition, history, collections and some wit, humour and wise phrases thrown in with the odd wall hangings dotted around. We will definitely be back in the not too distant future. Thank you to Irene, Sioned and all the smiley friendly staff here, even though you were all so busy. It is noted and much...

In Criccieth for nearly a week over the Bank Holiday period and in Caffi Cwrt four or five times. Food, coffee, tea and reception were all as excellent as ever. I know that the owner had problems with staffing over the immediate Bank Holiday weekend (a problem with lively, charming young staff being attracted to equally lively but distant music festivals) and I know that this caused problems (unusually) with the sort of service they like to provide when over one short period there was the sudden appearance of several large groups both inside (really quaint) and outside in the lovely tea garden. Having read another review my feel was that this put the wonderfully Welsh owner under huge pressure and whilst the explanation for difficulties that she gave was frank and direct, she was not, in my opinion, 'rude'. My experience is that she always wants her customers to leave happy (as 'friends'...

We used to love coming here during family holidays when I was a child, but the customer service has greatly deteriorated since then. My mother and I needed something dairy free (for health reasons) so seeing the part in the menu where it said, 'if you have any dietary requirements please let a member of staff know and we will do our best to help', we asked the waitress if there was anything we could have that was dairy free. We received a terse 'No' and she left the table. As my father and sister weren't going to eat cake in front of us when we couldn't have anything, we all just had cups of tea as we were very thirsty by then. We had to wait about 10 minutes just for the tea to be brought to our table, again with a very rude waitress who had no time for us. Suffice to say we won't ever return here again - this experience has ruined our memories of what used to be a...
