O.K., it,s on an industrial estate ! Very close to Travel Lodge, just off centre of town. This is one very spotlessly clean cafe; with wonderful food at very inexpensive prices. The staff have been very friendly on the 3 occassions that I have visited this cafe (I live 150 miles away). I would not consider any other breakfast cafe... More

One minute from the travelodge where we stayed the night. Superb range of breakfasts in a very clean cafe on an industrial estate. It's the little things they do well - friendly welcome, free top ups of tea and coffee, hand gel cleaner by the door. Best full English - sorry - Welsh anywhere! More

Have visited Porthmadog many times but have always eaten elsewhere. Having just seen the reviews, we thought we would give it a go. Was not disappointed. Apart from the friendly atmosphere and great service the food was superb!! Both of us ordered a cooked breakfast and it arrived piping hot. So many times I have ordered a cooked breakfast elsewhere... More

We ate breakfast here on two days while staying at the Travelodge nearby and having read previous Tripadvisor reviews. On the first day we each had one of the set breakfast menus which were hearty, piping hot and well-cooked. On the second day I had the best poached eggs I have ever had anywhere. Really recommend this place: friendly and... More

Excellent food all freshly prepared and served by lovely friendly staff in comfortable surroundings. A place that really takes great pride in what it does and has a really customer focused ethic. All meals/breakfasts include orange juice and unlimited tea and coffee refills. Better and friendlier than most other cafe's I have vistied recently. 10/10 More
