“ We popped here for some lunch after walking up Snowdon. The Lone Tree cafe did not disappoint!! Our hot chocolates were delicious and our loaded fries were piping hot and super yummy! The service was so lovely. Highly recommend. Parking was limited as the car park opposite was jam packed, we parked up the road a little. ”
“ Lovely cafe, excellent prices. Can fully recommend the soup, it was delicious. Small ish indoor seating area (could be an issue when busy) but large outdoor area for nicer weather. Staff were helpful and friendly and the cake divine. ”
“ Great cafe overlooking the lake with indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast, lunch and cakes. Always has local artists and makers work in the cafe for sale that change each month. This month is Rock and Ocean Art ”
“ I came here 2 years ago and didn’t think it could get better! What a find! The cafe itself is lovely, light and welcoming. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There is a great selection of food and the cakes are sublime! As if that wasnt enough, the views over the lake and Snowdon while you enjoy your lunch is just the icing on the cake! (Pun intended). I definitely recommend a visit. ”
“ 3rd visit in the past 3 weeks and excellent food each time. Delicious soup and cake. Custard is not on the menu, but I asked if I could have some with my pudding, thinking that they would not have any, but they do! Excellent location by the lake with good parking and great service. Liked the iced chai latte. ”
“ We (6 of us) arrived an hour before closure after a long day of hiking in the rain. Despite having already mopped (and there being no other customers,) staff gladly served us and prepared delicious food and drinks. They were very friendly and didn't complain about our muddy feet and wet dogs. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and would recommend this as a great stop off if walking the perimeter of Llyn Padarn. ”
“ Lovely little cafe above the watersports centre. Beautiful view of the lake with ample seating indoor and out. Great spot for relax or a snack. Friendly staff and some local goods for sale ”
“ Incredible food and the friendliest staff. Plus, it's dog-friendly!! After completing the circular walk around the lake, this is the perfect spot to relax and refuel. ”
