Coffee Shops · Porthmadog
Tucked in the middle of Porthmadog, this is a small, homely spot where the cakes are all made on site and the coffee is roasted in-house — parents rave about the bara brith, the hummingbird cake and a flat white that puts the chains to shame, and there's a Biscoff frappé that will buy you twenty quiet minutes with an older child. Gluten- and dairy-free cakes are usually available, which helps if someone in the family can't have the standard slice. The team are warm and attentive, high chairs and a kids' menu are on hand, and there's free parking plus outdoor seating for pram days. Prices are gentle for what you get. Worth knowing: it's a little café, so pram space is tight inside, and the cake choice can be down to three by late afternoon.
