Good choice of hot pastries, sandwiches and drinks (tasty milkshakes too), friendly staff, reasonable price. Indoor seating was closed.

Despite the opening hours suggesting this would be open, the only facilities available to the public were free WiFi and sanitary facilities.

Beautiful walks with stunning scenery with mini fountains gushing from the side of the paths. Lovely lakes and mountains. £10 all day parking and a lovely cafe. Was extremely windy when we visited in late December so be prepared with waterproof and windproof clothing as well as same footwear. ABSOLUTELY NO RECEPTION...... This was the most frustrating thing.

Friendly staff, excellent café facilities with great menu choices and food, free toilets, and a good place to get info on the routes up. Parking machine takes card. Just be sure to get back down from the summit in time before closing!

This is a wonderful little restaurant with comfortable seats, working restrooms, and acceptably priced food. There is both indoors and outdoor seating, depending on the elements. The real draw of this shop is that it acts as the base camp for climbing the three nearby peaks. Even if you don't want to summit the peaks, the valley lakes are also beautiful, and easily walk-able.

The female member of staff this morning clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She was extremely rude to my colleagues and I when we asked if we could sit on the lounge area 15 minutes before the cafe officially opened (as others were doing) to get out of the cold as we had just completed the Three Peaks. We did not stay because she was so bad tempered and when we left she said “Enjoy your achievement!” very sarcastically! Unprofessional and unnecessary.

You need to check if this place is open or not. I came out of the mountains today gasping for a cool beverage but, at 1430hrs, the csfe was shut! Quite a few others around a bit disgruntled by this as well. It is the end of May after all and tourists and climbers need their sustenance😯 Someone is missing a trick here. On the other hand, the Moel David cafe in Capel Curig (£2 on the bus from Pen-y-Pass...take the S2) is a great substitute and cheaper😊 Good to see that the car park takes credit cards now though.

Well stocked cafe perfect for a pre/post climb cuppa and cake. Hot food also available daily. Clean toilets and plenty of seating available.

This was the car park we used when attempting Snowdon for the first time. There were plenty of spaces available when We arrived at 12:00. We paid £10 for over five hours, you can pay by card which is a big bonus. They also sell maps inside the rangers cabin for £5 or £9 depending on how much you want from your map. We opted for the £5 map which got us to the top in one piece with little difficulty.

Very impressed, staff was very friendly and welcoming. After hiking up Snowdon in October in a bad weather, we were craving some warm food. Had some chips with bacon, Mexican chicken panini with salad and a cup of tea, everything was very fresh and tasty. A more than pleasant surprise !
