Caffi Gerlan

Great breakfast after climbing Snowdon, very friendly staff 👍🏻

Nice little cafe next to the Inigo Jones slate shop, local butcher on site next door as well. Food here was good, dog friendly as well, not very many seats. We had breakfast which was lovely.

It's the best All Day Breakfast in the area! Freshly made and adapted if you request slight changes, eg.I prefer scrambled eggs..
It's very relaxed and known to locals who come for a te and chat.
It's plain and simple and a 'keeper'!
Note...cost for two breakfast which include tost in the price, but you pay extra for a coffi or te...total cost is £25.and some pence... this reflects recent increased prices, like everywhere.
PS the cakes look nice!
Bench seat tables outside and food is served to you there.
Dog friendly.

A regular stop of ours after a walk along Lon Eifion. Lovely food and very helpful staff.
Try the home made Lob Scouse, made with beef/lamb from the farmshop next door.
Add a side of their freshly cut and fried chips and you have a tasty meal!

Friendly helpful staff, food marvellous, our group had ham & eggs, steak pie and lob scouse all of which were delicious, nothing else to add

Love this little place. Grate little pit stop before travelling home. Definitely recommended

We like to travel all over the place in search of a great all day breakfast now we have found another fantastic place locally sourced products so much so we went next door and bought the same sausage as they served, brecwast ffantastic.

What a beautiful taste of home. The steak pie and chips was amazing.

Gorgeous breakfast, friendly staff. A proper comforting caffi.

Lovely cafe...lovely staff...the food was delicious..we will definately visit again

Very nice breakfast. Food cooked to perfection and served up very neat. Staff very friendly. Welsh spoken as first language but spoke English too, and the one lady was happy to tell me the correct pronunciation of a welsh word. Next time I am in that area I will visit again.

It was a bit cold in there but the food wow. We had chicken curry with home made chips and rice, the chips could have being cooked a little bit more as still a little hard in middle but they were nice, the chicken curry was delicious home made with lots of chunks of chicken. They have a little butchers next door only brought pickled onions but they where good. Would eat here again. Just warm it up

Lovely food in cafe home cooked chips and ham

Am a local of nearby Penygoes & stopped by here on a long walk down the cycle path with my son on his bike Fancied a hot chocolate & can say that without doubt they were 2 of the best I've had, far superior to any of the 'big' name places& cheaper too. We sat outside at a bench & also enjoyed a wonderful cake. Great little café with excellent service. Keep up the good work!

A fantastic cafe! We had just been up Snowdon on a cold and wet day, and their all day breakfast was just what we needed. Big, tasty, cooked and served quickly by friendly and welcoming staff - everything you want from a cafe. Highly recommended!

Good food and service at a reasonable price

8 of us rode in at 1530 expecting to be turfed out with it being late. But no, a nice welcome. However the food finished earlier but there was cake, tea and cake
Sooooo we had tea and cake... and I forced another... cake.. yum..
Recommend it.

One of Snowdonia's hidden gems

An unpretentious little cafe that sits alongside the main A487 Caernarfon to Porthmadog road on the Inigo Jones Slate Works site. However don't be fooled by the external view. This is a smashing little cafe that produces brilliant, tasty, home made food, produced by very friendly staff. We've had two visits to date. The menu has something for everyone. We are slowly aiming to make our way down the menu. First visit was their excellent all day breakfast with a lovely selection of egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, toast, but most importantly the nicest tasting black pudding we've ever had - and all for just £8.99! Washed down with a very tasty latte. This was the best breakfast I have had in years and finished us off for the rest of the day. Second visit was to try their version of lobscouse - a famous Welsh dish.

Lobscouse is a traditional Welsh recipe for a classic stew. The original recipe stems from the Norwegian Vikings who raided the Welsh coasts after the Roman occupation. The recipe is based on an original Norwegian recipe for Lopskaus, which was made using fish. The Welsh preferred the taste of meat - either lamb or beef - and Cafe Gerlan's version is wonderful Welsh beef, provided by their excellent butchers and farm shop next door.

Lobscouse became a very popular dish in the 1700s aboard ships. Sailors used to keep the meat stored in barrels, heavily salted so it would keep for a long time. In the North Wales slate quarry communities, where money was always tight, traditionally this recipe would sometimes start out with meat, which would be put into the cook pot over the fire once a week. Daily it would be topped up with water, potatoes and root vegetables!

So many restaurants charge a fortune for a bowl of a thin, not very tasty soup. This is the real deal - a generous bowl filled with meat that has been slow cooked with root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes onions etc, served with a fresh bread roll and butter. They charge just a fiver and the meat alone must be worth more than that. Not sure we're going to get to report on much else on the menu as I can't see us moving past the lobscouse when we go back. Don't take my word - go and try it.

The staff are smashing, very friendly and - like all of us - love a bit of praise about their food. When you have finished, have a look in the farm shop - the meat is wonderful and fresh. (Oh and the slate works is good as well!)

Quiet little cafe off the main road.

Great home made food, amazing value
