    Really lovely little coffee and sandwich shop off the beaten path! Make sure to check out the basement, as it contains a lot of interesting little oddities and historical plaques.

    If you get a window seat, you get a brilliant view! The filter coffee was nice, and the dark chocolate brownie was really good. Edit: whoop, vegan cakes!

    Hands down the BEST vegan sandwich I’ve ever had! It was a massive portion and was absolutely delicious. It was a bit more expensive than we’d usually pay back home but totally worth the price for the lovely food and great location. There’s even a little exhibit downstairs which was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be back if we visit Conwy again

    Lovely little places to grab drinks and snacks in a very unusual setting. Staff were really friendly and helpful. They serve many alternative milks (including oat, soy and rice) and had a good selection of snacks. There are a few tables downstairs as well if not reserved so don't be put off if it looks busy when you arrive. A nice place to relax after exploring the nearby castle.

    This place has been open for a long time. I used to go for coffee here as a teenager! Revisited for the first time in years, to bring my children to the Santa's Grotto event, and the place hasn't changed a bit! Small coffee house with the quirk of being within one of the original Conwy castle wall turrets. I can't speak for the food, but heard good things about it and that they have great vegan options. I am pretty sure the barista is the "Jester" of the Jesters Tower and we've seen him perform a few times at the Llangollen Faerie Festival. If so, he's great! 🧚‍♀️🃏 Absolute best grotto experience (we've taken our little ones for visits with Santa, across Chester, Haworth, Shrewsbury, Liverpool and various locations in North Wales. But this was the most charming of all). It looked family-run and "Santa" was great with the little ones and it was personalised for the children. My skeptical 6 year old left with no questions or doubts about authenticity, which was a first! Reasonably priced and recommended! Half off for children who go to school in the local area and Santa is bilingual (Welsh & English speaking).

    Expensive. Great views although you could get great pictures of the marina and the CONWY Castle by stepping outside. There's a small history museum attached to the coffee shop if inclined.

    * pet friendly and expensive For the best view, consider requesting a window seat. The restaurant is a bit expensive, but it offers excellent service. I highly recommend trying their hot chocolate,it's truly delicious. Additionally, the breakfast options are ok. Do checkout the small display on the ground floor inside the coffee shop.

    Best views of any coffee shop in Conwy, looking out over the river. Locally roasted light roast coffee and freshly made food. Deliciously perfect. Next door to the Knights shop, so easily reachable from the castle end of the quay, or by walking up Castle Street. (In a medieval tower so not wheelchair accessible unless you've got a catapult).

    Lovely little quirky cafe with great views over the bay. Lots of really great alternatives if you have food intolerances. Really enjoyed my sandwich and coffee whilst watching the boats messing around in the bay. Would highly recommend

    Popped in for a quick coffee and sandwich, it's a lovely little cafe. Really good coffee, tasty sandwiches, and very friendly staff. Sat in the window alcove gives a stunning view out across the harbour. Really please we went.

    A hidden gem with incredible views of the bay, plus the best coffee in Wales with a choice of plant milks. What a great place!

    What a little gem! We had a decent coffee and hot chocolate plus some really good cake, the lady behind the counter was friendly and acknowledged us arriving and leaving. Down the stairs by the toilets is a room with a mini museum well worth a look.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 11 months ago on Google
    A little hidden gem! Amazing food, amazing friendly staff, and an amazing building too. And such a wide variety of catering options, including vegan options and a variety of milk varients. Can't fault the place - if you're looking for a tasty toastie and refreshing coffee, this is the place to go!

  • 5/5 Lisa L. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place to sit and have a coffee and crumpet. If you’re lucky get one of the window seats to enjoy the view of the bay! The music playing was very calming too

  • 5/5 Elizabeth E. 2 years ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Such a hidden gem with the best iced tea we have ever had. Set inside a old castle tower it really stands out from other cafes and has amazing views. Lovely menu of freshly made drinks and snacks. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again
