Eco-caffe
Description
Nestled in the charming side streets of Bala, the Eco Cafe has emerged as a controversial gem. Patrons rave about the fresh, homemade food featuring options like lentil chili and veggie burgers, complemented by friendly staff who occasionally exhibit an eccentric charm. However, some visitors found the service lacking, citing instances of unwelcoming attitudes and communication issues regarding orders. While the atmosphere can feel a bit empty during quiet times, many still applaud the cafe for its wholesome offerings and unique appeal. Balanced experiences make the Eco Cafe a must-visit for those exploring the local culinary scene.

We went here by mistake, we assumed it would be busy on a Saturday morning and we were the only ones there, the smoothie machine was broken and they had no diet drinks for type 1 diabetics. I ordered eggy bread with cheese and I was served an on letter with two slices of break with cheese in the middle.x extremely bizarre and extremely grim. Overall bad experience. Ps the old lady in there was definitely a werewolf look at the hands!!!!!!!!!!?! DANGER BEWARE
Exploring the side streets of Bala away from the high street, came across the Eco-cafe by accident. A hidden gem of an independent cafe in Bala. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent Cheese Ham omelette and the wife enjoyed her veggie burger smoothie (the waitress even topped up her drink with the left over smoothie rather than pouring it away). Great quality wholesome food for a reasonable price in Bala. Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back.
We approached the cafe drawn in by the eco looking frontage, hoping for organic cakes and coffee. Inside its very big but we were the only ones there which meant a slight lack of atmosphere. We had a lovely smoothie and some coffees, although we noticed they were instant. Each of the cappuccinos and lattes we ordered was met with the retort of 'hot soy ' and instead we were served 3 identical coffees. A must visit for Bala.
I'm happy to see that the Eco Cafe has reopened. I enjoyed a tasty lentil chili with brown rice and salad, all homemade. It was a nice change from pre-made heated lunches. The menu offers simple options like wraps, sandwiches, baked potatoes, vegan hot pot, and soup, as well as cakes and coffee. It seems that they are currently only open for lunch, likely due to the impact of COVID-19.
