The Big Rock Cafe in Porthmadog

"Warm welcome in delightful and cosy cafe. Light and airy with a wood burning stove. Freshly baked bread, outstanding coffee and delicious lunch. What a find!"

"This is a beauty of a coffee shop! We were about to stop in the local Costa and something caught our eye further up the road that looked like a coffee shop. So we ventured a little further and are we glad that we did? Yes we are. The service was excellent. We just happened to be served by the owner who was a brilliant character. The bread, cakes and savoury snacks on offer were exceptional. We had a sausage roll, chocolate cookie, fruit loaf (this was UNBELIEVABLE!), an Eccles cake and some carrot cake. It was all fresh and delicious. The coffee was super fresh and they are happy to make to whatever preference you can throw at them. Our three year old very much enjoyed his kids hot chocolate. If you're in the area and want great coffee, great food and great community, this is the place for you! We loved the added touches of life bringing bible verses and if you want a bit of extra community, they host a bible study a couple of times a month. This is a place that clearly loves it's community and the people in it. The Big Rock rocks!"

"Would give 6 stars if I could to my favourite café in the UK! The food here is always fresh and beautiful, with very friendly staff. I come here almost every day when I'm holidaying near Porthmadog, and the staff recognise me and my partner even after nearly a year away! Plenty of vegan options and a good rotating stock of savouries and desserts. Cozy seating area in a gorgeous building that feels deeply established and historical. You couldn't ask for more in a place; one that serves not just baked goods, but a helping of human kindness cushioned between proper doorstep slices of bread."

"The Rock Café quickly became one of my favorite stops. The drinks were absolutely amazing — super refreshing and full of flavor. I had a coffee that was simply fabulous — smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. I also tried one of their sourdough sandwiches and a bowl of soup, and both were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, with just the right balance of comfort and flavor. The vibe was warm and welcoming, and I felt right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend!"

"Great little artisanal bakery and coffee store . What stood out was how Friendly and Helpful staff were . I purchased a local Delicacy ( Bread with bacon, cheese , potato’s and leek stuffed inside ) AMAZING !! If anyone can add in Comments what this offering is called ? Highly recommend place to visit"

"A lovely café with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The homemade bread is outstanding — fresh, high quality, and clearly made with care. The food overall is excellent, but the chocolate brownie really stands out: rich and delicious, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced. The interior is beautiful and cozy, with lots of artwork displayed around the space. There’s an interesting, slightly religious theme to some of the art, but it adds character and creates a unique, good vibe overall. Highly recommended!"

"Brilliant coffee shop, very welcoming and the taste is really good. The whole café is clean and well-presented. I totally recommend this coffee shop and cappuccinos here. One of the best coffee shops I have been to."

"From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is something special. Set in a beautifully converted old hotel, the atmosphere is stylish, niche and wonderfully welcoming. The branding is especially impressive - all personally designed by the owner, Graham - bougie and full of character! The staff are incredibly friendly and hard-working. The food is top quality - my breakfast burrito was delicious, generous and seriously satisfying. Thoroughly recommend the sausage rolls too With God’s Word thoughtfully displayed around the café, I love that you're nourished not just in body but in soul also! You'll leave wanting for nothing... except to return! Diolch Big Rock - edrych ymlaen yn FAWR at ddychwelyd."
