Penceunant Isaf in Gwynedd

What a wonderful little stop. The cafe itself serves a great oat milk latte aswell as being licensed for thirsty walkers in the summer. The cafe itself with its open fires, wooden floors and quirky furniture has maintained its original features, that date back to the 1800’s. Stefan and team are great hosts, that will envelop you in the history of the cottage. Recommended.

What a gem of a place! Old world decor , Real fires , Great coffee , a cheeky whisky and the fantastic Stefan for company. I’m so glad I popped in - please go and say hello - i never do Llanberis path when walking up Snowdon but this cafe will bring me back to that route more often . Thank you Stefan for your hospitality.

Always an excellent stop for a walk up or down from Snowdon and surround footpaths Lovely views and always a warm welcome from Stefan and his team. Dogs - especially black labs always welcome Diolch yn fawr

Stefan and his staff (and pets) create a place where you feel like a friend. This building captures the charm and resilience of Llanberis and its beautiful people.

This place never fails to amaze. Stefan can not do enough for you and always a nice welcome. Lovely brew and awesome complementary welsh cake.

Visited after dawn trip to summit. What a gem. Welcoming, friendly, helpful, great food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with host Stefan. Very knowledgeable and insightful. Will definitely return.

The owner, Steffan was absolutely wonderful, hospitable and captivated me with his story telling by his fire place, delicious coffee and the homemade fruit cake!! Thank you Steffan for being so welcoming, funny and for your kindness of hospitality for my hike of the UK next year. See you next year and thanks making me smile so so much with your fantastically wise Welsh energy 💚 Well worth sitting for a while at the Snowdon cafe to enjoy this one off original cafe experience.

After battling 55mph winds and sleet with a windchill of -10 our fabulous group of fundraising girls had the Biggest and most appreciated welcome from truly the best cafe owner in the world - Steffan!!! We were greeted like old friends with bags for our wet clothes, hand/bottom warmers, a warm fire,hot tea and incredible homemade cake, Steffans brilliant recipe book (which we are all going to make the Bara Brith asap!) but best of all his good heart and sense of humour and fascinating stories which we were all very happy to accept!! The only problem was we had to leave!!! We all can’t wait to go again soon. This experience was the icing on the cake and brought smiles and comfort back to us after getting drenched to the skin - you would be foolish to miss this experience and hospitality! Love from The girls from Sheffield 😘

Amazing place and an amazing owner. We came off the mountain late as we were a little slower than we thought. Stefan the owner was locking up however opened up for us, and sorted us hot chocolate, tea and cider for me!! He also showed us round, chatted with us by the fire and sorted a taxi for us. He was the epitome of what a host should be and we couldn’t have asked for more after summiting Snowdon. When we return next year we shall definitely visit again, perhaps slightly earlier in the day though!!

Steffan Roberts is a triumph to Wales! The kindest, friendliest and most warm-hearted cafe owner on the planet. Our daughter had hurt her knee and Steffan recommended a support, which helped her to complete the Three Peaks. His cookbook is wonderful, full of amazingly unique recipes - cannot wait to try them!

An excellent, warm and friendly welcome from Steffan and the staff. I was there with Sahil who me and my other friend support out on trips. Sahil has additional needs and Steffan recognised this and couldn't of been more helpful, allowing us to use his private toilet and ensuring we had a table to sit at. A warm and friendly atmosphere full of conversation and lovely dogs. Steffan gave Sahil a T-shirt as a gift ad we left, what a guy.

Diolch yn fawr Steffan and his lovely staff ♥️ we had a lovely, warm Welsh welcome to the cosy Pen -y- Ceunant Cafe. The Bara Brith/ Cacen Pwdin was bendigedeg!! Diolch for the cook book, I sent the Bara Brith recipe to my Goddaughter in Bath who spoke about her favourite place in Wales and she is looking forward to making it. I put my maget on my fridge and look forward to returning. It was a pleasure to meet you and your staff and look forward to meeting you again soon x x

Stopped off soaking wet on way down - very welcome refreshments and the hoodies are awesome value! Highly recommend!!

A very warm welcome for a very tired group of weary mountain climbers. Steffan and his staff were very welcoming and friendly, nothing too much trouble. The Bara Brith absolutely delicious, the children loved the Welsh Cakes. Be sure to call in if you're passing and sample delicious food and the warmest hospitality. Thankyou Steffan and staff

I had twisted my knee coming down from Snowdon so was limping painfully. We were welcomed to sit by the log fire. Drinks purchased and we were asked how we were getting back to our car. A taxi was quickly organised by our host. Very welcoming and helpful. We could have asked for more. Would certainly recommend

A lovely surprise awaits at the top of the hill on route up to Mount Snowdon and a treasure to sit and relax after the decent! A warm courteous welcome, from a lovely friendly, caring and very helpful Steffan! An absolute gent!

Diolch i Stefan am y Croeso! Gwych Gwych Gwych… A lovely warm welcome. Hot Chocolate and Bara Brith are well worth the walk up the hill.

Had such a lovely chat with the owner who was so patient with me trying to practice my Welsh. The hot chocolate was so delicious as was the bara brith. The welcome was as warm as the roaring fire! Diolch yn fawr

After a very long day on Snowdon this fine establishment was a sight for sore eyes. As the title says, they honestly made the best Hot Chocolate I've ever had (And I had a second one, just to be sure). The proprietor was as welcoming...

After climbing Snowdon you are really getting your rest in there. Pint in a hand and in front of a massive fireplace to warm you up after being exposed to rain and wind on the trail.

Warm welcome, warm fire, funny stories and great drinks. Just what we needed after a long walk. Thank you

Blinding service. Met the owner who was a pleasure and really helped us out as my partner had some troubles and our plans got a bit sidetracked. Stephan, I’m going to be returning in a few weeks alone so I’ll drop by for one of...
